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.
A must go for smoked meat lovers, very clean ,quiet place, food is fresh none of that reheated stuff.
new mangement really made a difference.
For people who only eat halal this is the spot. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First meal in montreal & it was fantastic!! Poutine & montreal smoked meat, couldn't get any better then that! The gentlemen running the show were very nice & the service was great!
le service était exceptionnel j'ai jamais été aussi bien accueilli & la nourriture était incroyable c'était rapide & bon le pain est fait maison tout comme les frites & les prix sont vraiment excellent. L'atmosphère était splendide l'intérieur était bien aménagé avec les LED & les music au fond
Rockin' experience at Rock'n Deli! Got a great recommendation from our former computer instructor at the Apple Store, who also happens to be visually impaired. We weren't disappointed! The staff were super friendly, the tunes were vibing, & the food was excellent. If you're comparing it to Nickels Deli, I'd say this one takes the cake! Definitely coming back for more.
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!
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.
J'ai séjourné une semaine à Montréal & je suis revenue 3 fois dans ce restaurant, pour moi une des meilleures adresses du coin. Cuisine très bonne & personnel très accueillant, je recommande !

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.
Everything, & I do mean EVERYTHING is great. The food, the people, all of it.
Joe is great.
If I could give it 6 Stars, I would.
Edit: Went back for a 2nd round, & everything was even better. We had the most delicious Jalapeno Poppers that I've ever had. (Red Jalapenos!) & the Churros were incredible.
Don't miss this place!
