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.
It's always nice to have an halal option delivering a mtl staple. The sandwich is nice & the service was abit slow when I was there. It was my first time & I'll be there soon
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.

Expérience catastrophique chez Rock'N Deli
La nourriture était juste dégueulasse. L'emballage est arrivé sale, gras, franchement répugnant, comme s'il avait déjà vécu une autre vie avant moi. Le sandwich était complètement à l'envers, tout écrasé, rien tenait en place. Visuellement comme gustativement, c'était un désastre.
Aucune attention, aucun respect pour le client, zéro contrôle qualité. J'ai littéralement perdu l'appétit.
À éviter absolument. Je ne recommande pas du tout.
We ordered the smoked meat sandwiches & the club smoked meat trio. The club has way less meat than the regular sandwich. I replaced the potato with sweet potato fries, definitely worth it.
Overall good experience, though it doesn't quite stand out compared to the best smoked meat spots. So definitely room for improvement.
C'est dommage de devoir changer mon avis passant d'un 5 étoile à un 2. La premier fois que j'étais aller à celui la peu après leur ouverture Setais très bon, bonne qualité & service mais sa a changer. Aujourd'hui Setais leur rabais sub smocked meat trio pour 16.99$ & j'ai du demander le rabais vu qu'il ne me l'avais pas mis. Ensuite pour la sauce j'ai du revenir pour la chercher vu qu'il avais oublier de me la mettre. Le parking vraiment impossible donc si il manque quelqu'un chose dans la commande c'est vraiment difficile d'y retourner. BON… maintenant parlons du sandwich en temps que telle… 97% légumes & 3%smocked meat. Tu prends une bouche & tu goûte juste des légumes surtout les oignions. Je comprends que Setais un rabais mais il d'autre avoir un nombre de viande à mettre dedans parce que Setais pas la première fois que je prends des sub mais Setais la première fois d'avoir autant de légumes. & pour la cerise sur le gâteaux, le pain tout moue presque mouiller même après seulement 2 minutes après l'avoir eu. Pas très agréable.
Une très belle découverte 🥰. De passage sur Montréal nous avons voulu goûter ce fameux sandwich à la viande de boeuf fumée. Un vrai régal !! Les frites les rondelles d'oignon & la salade de chou étaient très bons aussi. La poutine que nous avons goûté également était plus savoureuse que celle goûtée la veille ailleurs.
Nous avons été très bien accueilli, le dessert nous a été offert & une portion d'oignons aussi.
L'endroit est propre & chaleureux.
Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience !! On reviendra peut être un jour 🇨🇵. 🥰😍
We came all the way from Toronto & our expectations were definitely met! The customer service here is outstanding - the cashier & the whole team were so friendly & welcoming. Our food was served hot & fresh, & I finally got to try the Reuben sandwich for the first time - it was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is clean & spacious, making it a great spot for groups as well. We'll definitely be recommending this place to our friends back in Toronto.
Rock N Deli is a great spot in Montreal if you're craving halal smoked meat! The halal smoked meat sandwich hit the spot - super flavorful & tender - & the chicken club was just as good, fresh & filling. The portions are generous, & everything tastes fresh. It's awesome to have a halal option for this Montreal classic, definitely worth a visit!

This place was amazing! I'm not the biggest meat eater but the club sandwich was excellent the fries were delicious. The service was SPECTACULAR! Loved it 10/10
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!
While visiting Montreal, I happened to stumble upon this spot by chance-ironically, while on the lookout for halal deli meat sandwiches (which are hard to come by - so really a miracle lol). To my surprise & delight, I was greeted by Kevin, one of the kindest souls I've ever encountered. I dined in & was genuinely moved by how warm, attentive, & welcoming he was-not just with me, but with every single customer who walked through the door. His customer service & thoughtful recommendations went above & beyond.
I truly hope management recognizes & rewards Kevin for his incredible work & dedication. Creating a space where people feel genuinely welcome is no small feat. As a visitor, that sense of kindness & hospitality meant the world to me ❤?❤?
