Teams from Joe Beef and Maison Publique join forces on a new project, McKiernan - Traiteur Luncheonette Rôtisserie. Located on the second floor of the Complexe Dompark, an industrial building located along the Lachine Canal
Overall, reviews of McKiernan Rôtisserie praise the roasted chicken, its sauce, and Brussels sprouts as standout, along with donuts and Parker House rolls, while noting generous portions and a warm, rustic chic space that suits big groups; the vibe is lively and friendly with strong service when busy, though some experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, high prices for portions, and occasional over salty or dry dishes; brunch and lunch are well regarded for variety and value, and reservations are recommended for peak times given the roomy, bright dining area near large windows and parking nearby; in sum, it is seen as a reliable, enjoyed spot with delicious comfort food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of place, with a few caveats about price, noise, and occasional missteps.
McKiernan has been & continues to be an absolutely spectacular dinner destination. The large open space with a beautiful sunlight creates an atmosphere that is unique & welcoming. The staff is always top-notch. Attentive, professional, & wonderful. Tonight they're eight of us we had a prefix dinner. That was spectacular & delicious. Everybody had the best possible time the place is called. The people are great. The food is fantastic. This is highly recommended.
Petit souper tranquille, nourriture était superbe, un peu trop d'ail dans mes pâtes, mais c'est une question de goût, je peux pas les pénaliser pour ça. En entrée Burrata & Gralax, M-I-A-M.
Bonne recommandation en vin au verre. Service impeccable & super charmant, meme le gars à l'entrée était très gentil.

Une expérience impeccable ! Le service est d'une grande courtoisie & tout le personnel est d'une gentillesse remarquable. On sent vraiment une ambiance chaleureuse, notamment grâce à l'accueil du propriétaire qui est particulièrement aimable & attentionné envers ses clients. Quant à la nourriture, la qualité est exceptionnelle du début à la fin. C'est un sans-faute, je recommande vivement !
We dined at McKiernan's this past weekend for a joint bachelor party of 35 (yes, 35!) people & it was a wonderful experience. The name of our waitresses escaping me but she was so lovely, flexible, thoughtful & accommodating, as were the rest of the staff. We felt both comfortably at home & very spoiled at the same time. We did a set menu with the restaurant; the menu was fantastic & the food was delicious & plentiful. Can't recommend enough, especially if you're looking to celebrate or dine with a large group!

Love the experience here, casual, group friendly & delicious food. Portions are generous & food is all delicious. Would recommend coming with a group of 8 for the set menu!
I'd argue there is no better overall restaurant in Montreal than McKiernan. Their menu is always being switched up a bit to offer something new, & they never miss - the food is always a hit, with a great wine selection. I personally salivate over the prime rib.
I recommend going with a group, as McKiernan is best enjoyed when you can pluck things from multiple plates. More cost effective that way. Don't forget to get a donut for dessert!
Overall, I can't recommend McKiernan enough. Amazing resto.
Nous sommes allés au Mc Kiernan en famille hier & nous avons adoré notre soirée. Nourriture exceptionnelle, excellent service & ambiance chaleureuse. Je recommande fortement !
We attended this place for a birthday - it was a great experience except for the fact that our server -Tiffany- brought an extremely negative attitude. Unprompted she was curt & rude, when asked questions or details for the menu she would provide no detail & in fact talk down to any individual when asked. Although it was extremely busy & any person can understand the overwhelming aspect of a dinner rush - no other server had this attitude. For events like a birthday it can really put a negative tone on the experience. The food was good but with such a negative experience with staff I would never recommend or go here again.
I really love this spot for dinner. It's got this great, bustling energy without being too loud, making it perfect for a date night. You should definitely try to make a reservation ahead of time if you can.
At first glance, the menu can look a little all over the place, but once the food starts coming out it all makes sense. The roasted chicken is absolutely fantastic, chicken is cooked perfectly & the sauce is so good. The pasta dishes are also a great option with good portion sizes.
For sides, do yourself a favor & get the deviled brussel sprouts. They are seriously delicious & awesome for sharing. You might want to skip the fries, though. They can be a little hit or miss, sometimes coming out a bit overcooked & dry.
A quick tip for dessert: if you're eyeing the donuts, ask your server to set some aside when you first order your meal. They sell out super fast!
A Few Thoughts on Brunch:
I'm probably in the minority here, but the famous brunch double down just isn't for me. I don't get the hype. The hash browns feel both dry & oily at the same time, almost like they were pre-made & then just flash-fried to order. It's not a dealbreaker, but I'd recommend trying something else instead.
As for the service, it was only a mixed bag the last time I went. The hosts at the front were incredible-super helpful & welcoming. But our waitress seemed a little checked out. We all have off days, but it was weird to see her totally happy & chill with other tables but just meh/cold with us. She did perk up when I went to pay with cash, which I found kind of strange.
Overall, I'd still highly recommend this place for a great dinner out.
Update: went back recently, food & service was top notch, 5 stars all around.
Only good things to say about this place. Food was really good, portions are generous, the server was very nice (all of them were). They let you take your time & don't rush you. Highly recommend
SERVICE!! The quality of the service was amazing, I think the best I have experienced in many years. The team looked very well coordinated & very cohesive. The food arrived in a timely manner, a new water bottle was always place on our table. The food was very good, well seasoned. It is more of a family style serving, each serving is good for about 2 people. The place is cozy, nicely designed & unique. Would be a nice place for a 5-7, date, casual dinning. There is a parking lot & it is indicated that you have to pay, but long story short is actually free. Would definitely recommend!
