Reviewers describe Roch le Coq as a friendly neighborhood spot with welcoming, attentive service and solid value. The fried chicken is consistently praised for its crispiness and juiciness, while the poutine is a major highlight for many, with classic versions and bold takes like popcorn chicken on fries with gravy and pickled cabbage; some diners, however, note that the fries can arrive cold or the cheese less melted, which dampens the dish. Ambiance and speed of service get frequent nods, and many say they would return for the generous portions and reliable flavors. A few reviews mention that certain items are overpriced or not up to par, and one negative note calls a fried chicken option below average. Overall, Roch le Coq seems to deliver satisfying fried chicken and tasty poutine with enthusiastic staff, though opinions vary on specific dishes and price.
We had a wonderful time at Roch le Coq! My family & I visited Montreal for a day & needed a quick lunch before continuing our adventure. Happened to come across Roch le Coq & honestly we have no regret! The staff were incredibly kind & accommodating. They even helped my partner & I with figuring out where to pay for parking. As for the food, their classic poutine was hands down the best poutine I have ever tasted in my life! I ordered the popcorn chicken separately & it was amazing!! The chicken was juicy & tender & crispy even a few hours later! (Sister ate the leftover chicken on the way back to TO). Their burgers were so filling & had a harmonious mix of flavours & it also came with fries that were absolutely delectable! Will definitely come again when we get the chance to visit Montreal next year!!

Extremely nice staff!!! & I personally really enjoyed the poutine base, but I felt like the popcorn chicken (while amazing on its own) kind of doesn't pair well with it. The big portion is generous & was enough for the two of us
I mess with their chicken popcorn poutine! The sauce is unlike anything I've had before, the fries taste like they're fried in butter. Chicken is crispy af, yumm put in me mouf.

De très loin le meilleur poulet frit en ville! À titre de comparaison, J... le coq vient loin derrière! On parle ici de poulet de grain! Tout est fait maison & avec amour! Fraîcheur absolue garantie! Gravy savoureux, frites délicieuses, sauces hors pair (leur hoisin & celle au miel en particulier!) Personnel accueillant & souriant. Service impeccable. Goût & qualité étaient au rendez-vous sur TOUT ce que j'ai pu essayer à ma première visite aujourd'hui! Un incontournable sur le Plateau qui laissse un agréable arrière goût de revenez-y! Mes papilles vous remercient d'exister!
Service impeccable, au-delà de nos attentes. Nous sommes venues pour une simple frite & nous avons été surprises avec une variété de sauces. Excellent service a la clientèle, je recommande!

Ordered for the first time delivery. Photos looked good. Received shockingly small portion size of fries with the chicken tenders. The chicken itself was dry, tasted unseasoned. Gravy was fine. I would not try this place again
