Rock'N Deli, a fast-food franchise founded in 1992 in Montreal, Quebec, is renowned for its commitment to quality. With a traditional smoked meat recipe perfected over 30 years with unique spice blends, Rock'N Deli offers a menu of Montreal-style smoked meat sandwiches, burgers and poutines made with the finest ingredients. With over 10 locations across Quebec and Ontario, and expansion plans underway, the brand continues to grow rapidly while staying true to its heritage.
Rock'n Deli in downtown Montreal is widely praised for halal smoked meat that is juicy, tender and well seasoned, with standout halal smoked meat sandwiches and a Reuben, plus unique smash burgers and solid poutine. Guests note generous portions at times but some sandwiches can be small and prices felt high for the size, while the fries are often only okay. The menu includes a club smoked meat, Philly steak sub and smoked meat trio, and the service is consistently described as friendly, fast, and attentive in a clean, lively setting with a modern vibe and good music. Occasional communication hiccups for non-French speakers and rare ordering mistakes are mentioned, but there is broad enthusiasm and repeat visits, especially for a halal option in the downtown area and the restaurant's signature sauces.
Rock'N Deli on St-Catherine in Montreal is a must try for smoked meat fans! Their halal smoked meat sandwich is incredibly juicy, tender, & melts in your mouth with perfect smokiness & seasoning a burst of flavors on soft bread. ? The Reuben is tasty too, with delicious meat, though they oddly lack customer knives. ? Unique smash burgers, like the Royale with added smoked meat, are enjoyable & add a fun twist. ? Poutine is surprisingly good, decked in gravy & extra meat. ? Staff are super friendly & the vibe is lively with good tunes, but fries are just meh & prices can feel high ($25-40 for a sandwich). ? If you're not French-speaking, minor communication hiccups might occur. Overall, great spot for halal eats in downtown - try the signature sauce! 4/5 stars.
J'ai pris le Classic avec les oignons caramelisés en trio.
J'ai une allergie sévère aux oeufs. J'ai eu un excellent service avec conception de mon burger sur une surface de travail lavée & à part du comptoir usuel. Prise au sérieux des allergies & des contaminations croisées.
Plusieurs choix de sauces, les frites sont juste bien salées & les boulettes étaient succulentes.
Je vous le recommande fortement!
The burger was soaked in sauce. No flavor of meat whatsoever. The brioche, the lettuce, the tomatoes all were drained in the sauce. I had to wipe with tissue to be able to eat.
The French fries were good.
Awesome experience! Kevin has fantastic customer service skills & was very hospitable. We had a smoked meat sandwich, the burger with the smoked meat on top, & a poutine. All were very delicious. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

We ordered the Smokey Burger, Philly Steak, & Burger Royale - & wow, the flavors were spot on. The meat was incredibly tender & juicy, without being overly fatty or greasy, which is often hard to find with smoked meats.
The service was just as impressive as the food. A big shoutout to Kevin, who welcomed us with two cold bottles of water on a hot day & helped us choose the best items from the menu. His friendly attitude & helpful suggestions made the visit even more enjoyable.
We didn't get a chance to take any photos - the food disappeared fast! 😬
This place is a must-try, especially for anyone new to smoked meats. Highly recommend, & we'll definitely be coming back again (& again).
The service was actually crazy. One of the staff members named Kevin was so sweet & even offered me a free drink just because i waited a little longer for my burgers. Talking about that, best burger i've ever had ever.
Excellent service à ce restaurant! Je tiens à souligner l'attention de Kevin, le gérant, qui se donne à 100% dans son travail. Il est à l'écoute & nous a accomodé avec nos restrictions alimentaires. En tout cas, bon burger, belle ambiance & staff incroyable. Je recommande 🔥
