Serrano Bar-B-Q is widely regarded as a Mile End institution for simple, unpretentious takeout style rotisserie chicken and sandwiches. The menu centers on roasted chicken with a Peruvian rub, available in chicken, pork, and sausage sandwiches, often served on soft homemade bread with a mayo based sauce and toppings like lettuce, tomato and slaw. Reviews praise the juicy meat, generous portions, and solid value, with several saying the chicken sandwich is among the best in town and a neighborhood standout. The place is described as low key and homey, focused on straightforward sandwiches and plates rather than trends, with potatoes roasted under the chicken a notable highlight. Some guests note occasional inconsistent quality or service, limited onsite seating, and periods when service hours or payment options were confusing, but overall the food remains excellent and dependable, and the staff welcoming, making it a go to option for a quick, flavorful meal.
I've been coming here for two decades, sadly today might have been the last time. The quality & service has gone down steadily for the last year or so. If you enjoy a mouthful of cartilage, bones, & fat with every other bite then this is the perfect chicken sandwich for you.
N'essayez pas les 100 aine de planques à poulet qui ouvrent dans le quartier & qui sont hors de prix. C'est ici la meilleure adresse. Plusieurs options abordables. Sandwichs généreux & délicieux (au poulet ou au porc), poulet entier. & le tout à bon prix. En plus, ils n'ajoutent pas d'option pourboire sur le terminal.
Tout pour être heureux.
I came here 8 years ago & fell in love with the juicy pork sandwich with the cracklings. I'm back here again & it hasnt changed. Still the same, crackling, juicy & balanced out with coleslaw.
The best sandwich of your life! they serve chicken OR pork sandwiches. They prepare it like - pollo a la barbacoa - Peruvian style. A must try in the Mile end.
Une véritable institution du poulet à Montréal. Je vais à cette rôtisserie pour leur sandwiches au poulet (cuisse, évidement), leurs saucisses & les patates depuis plus de 20 ans. Il faut absolument prendre du bouillon dans son sandwich ou sur son poulet. Le poulet rôti est probablement le meilleur en ville. Pas beaucoup de place sur place, mais parfait pour emporter.
This lowkey rotisserie spot is not very polished but is standing on a 40+ year legacy that keeps customers coming. Honestly it kind of reminded me of the Portugese rotisserie spots I used to eat at in North York, Ontario with it's down-homey atmosphere. Menu is focused on sandwiches & plates featuring their expertly prepared meats. I went for the chicken breast sandwich, which was packed with a nice portion of meat. I was impressed by how nicely the sandwich held together despite it's size, it was expertly prepared. The price-to-portion ratio at this place is righteous, enough to wave off the lack of comfortable seating. Service was good too.
The chicken sandwich is delicious, filling & healthy. The workers are friendly & efficient. The only little thing is the bone left in the sandwich, but it's not a big qualm. Overall, great place!
