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.
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).
Délicieux ! Seconde fois que j'y vais & je suis encore plus conquise que la première fois !! Je conseille vraiment l'option reubin ( fromage+ sauce spéciale) à 2,99 !! Je reviendrai c'est certain !

J'ai bien aimé la nourriture, mais l'ambiance peut être améliorée. La personne au comptoir n'était pas très aimable, & les meubles sont vraiment à revoir (chaises inconfortables, tables qui bougent). Un petit effort là-dessus ferait une grande différence.
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 ❤?❤?
I paid 10$ for 5 pinky sized cheese sticks. What a robbery! Thats 2$ per bite. Underwhelming for the advertising & nice place. Get the food & quantities right & it will be a fine establishment.

Got the smoked meat sandwich with smoked meat poutine. The mustard paired with the smoked meat blended the flavours well. The meat was extremely moist & it almost melted in your mouth. The poutine had a fair amount of toppings & tasted great. Service was really nice too. Great food & experience.
this is the first time I have tasted smoked beef-tender, flavorful & beefy;
The cashier was welcoming & serviced us really well.
I choose this place since I see the Google photo is young & energetic, there are many smoked beef served in steak houses or some fancy places, but I do find them'hard' & I kinda not adopt to the'hospitality-smile' but this place gave me the simple , straight forward, easy , young vibe, which I really appreciate.
One thing I want is they can play some light jazz to enrich the dining experience.
We enjoyed the smoked meat sandwiches. They serve Halal smoked meat. My Children had it for the first time & they loved it. Place is clean, team is polite & service is excellent. We live in Ottawa & we spent one day in montreal. We are glad that we ended our wonderful day in Montreal with a nice smoked meat meals. We will try it again in our next visit 😀
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.
