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.
First time in Montreal. We have made it a point to try poutines daily. This place is my favorite so far! (We have been to 2 others). The Montreal Smoked Meat poutine was delicious, & I will definitely have another before heading back to Ontario. Thank you for the great food, & service!
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
Très bien mangé.
L'atmosphère était très agréable grâce à la gentillesse & au professionnalisme de Vivianne.
Bon choix de plats & bonne qualité de la nourriture.

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.
