Review Summary

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.

The bread was really good ,soft inside, a nice crust outside, & it felt homemade (which is always a win).
For the protein, I went all in: chicken breast, thighs, & sausage. They were well-seasoned, & the homemade sauce tied them together nicely.
The toppings, though, were pretty basic ...salad, tomatoes, coleslaw, & more of that homemade sauce. They tasted good, but nothing that really stood out. During summer it's way too hot to eat inside . Overall 8/10

Serrano Bar-B-Q has been a Mile End institution for 40 years, & for good reason. They are best-known for their roasted chicken sandwiches, but the sausage sandwich & the roasted pork ribs/belly are my personal favorites.

The food isn't fancy or trendy, but it's delicious, reasonably priced, & the staff are very welcoming. If that sounds good to you, then I highly suggest stopping by!

An absolute Neighbourhood classic. Great prices & premium quality. The chicken thigh sandwiches a go to for many people but personally, I think the sausage sandwich is the mega hit. I hope this place is around forever.

This place is really great! I've had both the chicken breast & thigh sandwiches, & neither were dry. Definitely get it all dressed, it helps to cut through the heaviness of all the meat & bread. I recommend asking for the (demi-glace?) sauce they have for the chicken. Their prices are amazing, especially for the area. The sausage sandwich is also super great. Obviously not too many options for vegetarians, but they do offer a sandwich made with their roast potatoes- however, I think the potatoes might be cooked in chicken fat.

Excellent sandwich place. I come here often for lunch. The meat is juicy & tender. The toppings are plenty & flavourful, the price is really good too. This is known as a chicken place, but personally I think the roasted pork is the best thing on the menu. Get any sandwich with sauce/gravy. Only gripe is service is a bit slow since they shred the chicken/chop the pork to order. Sausages & potatoes are good too. I usually do takeout since it feels like an oven in the store & it's not nicest storefront but in the winter, it's probably nice & warm.

Honestly - was expecting so much more. Chicken was too salty & dry, neither vegetables or the sauce made up for it. Sausage sandwich is below average. Not the worst deal at 17$ for two sandwiches, but likely won't be returning.
