Rotisserie Sud-West Bar-B-Que

Terrible food. We ordered the asian salad and chicken poutine and it simply wasnt good at all. The chicken is too dry and the sauce wont compensate for that. The added mushroom and sauteed onions were bad and the dressing tasted weird.

Lunch was absolutely delicious. Food came out fast, piping hot and obviously made from good fresh ingredients. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
As an aside, this place is immaculately clean. SO much so that it jumped out at me.
Fair prices, good-​sized portions. Just great.

Stay away it’s gross. I went there with my friend last summer and it was okay this time it was terrible. Club sandwich is shredded shitty meat. Poutine had 4 pieces of cheese and we actually ordered 2 salads before we were stuck with the poutine and club but they called back 20 minutes later to say they didn’t have. Cold food and not good I don’t know how they are still open

This place was once amazing but now nothing but disappointing.
Both the food quality and service is terrible right now. Strictly recommend not to walk into this place.

They started strong and have become lazy and gross. Today I went in for a takeout sandwich and watched an employee drop a cup full of change and bills onto a surface they were preparing food on, without wiping down when finished. Then they put a customers «sandwich paper» down right there and wrapped it up, cross contaminating the prep person’s gloves and every lunch after that.
My food was for takeout, very sloppily half wrapped in foil, and completely cold on arrival.
As I said I really liked this place when It opened but training and standards have gone entirely.
Spend your money someplace where they care, definitely not here.

One of my buddy brought me here after work to try out that place. To be honest, I wouldn’t imagine the food there was so good. You come in and order at the counter and the waiter will bring it to you (if you dine in). So I decided to grab the Chicken breast which comes with coleslaw, French fries, bbq sauce. I expected to pay at least $ 15, the clerk tells me it’s around $ 8.50 including my bottle of water. Once again big portion for a small price. Takes around less than 10 min and the waiter brings out our foods outside on the terrace btw nice setting for the terrace. 1 word: AMAZING! They just beat St-​Hubert lol. I will definitely come back to try their ribs, hamburgers and more lol.

I popped in unplanned for a take-​out lunch. The Po’Boy sandwich was good, even though the bread was a bit overdone (H/​T to the server for remarking it too and looking for the best of a bad bunch for me). The meat and sauce were good too.
If I happen to be back in that area, I may stop in again.

I used to go here almost every week last year because it was quite delicious for the price plus it was close to my house. The service was always prompt and nice. Well, I tried it today after a long break and I was really dissapointed. The prices went up. The quality of both food and service went down. Now it’s a totaly different ratio. The chicken leg was undercooked. It was also tiny. They used to serve it with corn. Not anymore. Now they charge extra dollar for roasted potatios instead of fries. Didn’t even asked me what I prefer. Plus other little details I don’t even want to mention.
Too bad…

BBQ is an art, Rotisserie Sud-​West Bar-​B-​Que is no Picasso. They are more like renaissance fair artisans. Except what they do, they do REALLY well. The roast chicken tastes like pretty every roast chicken in Montréal without coming close to Chalet BBQ though, the KING of BBQ Chicken in Montréal but their chicken did not sit in a warmer all day and is juicy, tender and tastes like some top grade chicken. Same for the side slaw. Tastes almost exactly like St-Hubert’s slaw but crisper, fresher, can’t put my finger on it but it was BETTER. The ribs are tender, juicy, with a nice thick sauce. While they don’t come near let’s say Blackstrap BBQ, they are still pretty damn good. The fries are freakin’ AWESOME and so is the BBQ sauce. Added bonus that no other BBQ place seems to do… CORN ON THE COB. All that was missing was Mac n’ Cheese. Rotisserie Sud-​West Bar-​B-​Que isn’t innovating but they deliver quality BBQ grub in good quantity that should make their neighbor (New System Rotisserie) a bit nervous and will stick to your ribs, leaving you in a happy haze of BBQ intoxication. That’s why it gets a 4 outta 5… Quality ingredients served fresh and while not reinventing the wheel, delivering on taste and satisfaction.

My Po-​Bo sandwich was fine. I know this is Canada but the portion sizes are still very small for the price.

Partner had a Po-​Boy and 2 wings. I had a roast beef sandwich and a «lemon pie».
The Good: They were true to their word with no nuked or frozen anything. The meat in the sandwiches was moist and tender. The buns were fresh. Once you got to the bottom of the coleslaw container it was actually quite good. My roast potatoes were ok (quite bland though) and partner’s fries were good. The BBQ dipping sauce was quite nice.
The Bad: The mushroom condiment was so peppery as to be off-​putting. The onion condiment was relatively tasteless. All the other condiments were either too vinegary or peppers. Partner had to add quite a bit of Tabasco to the wings even though the hottest sauce was asked for. I asked for «a little bit» of sauce but the counter-​person slathered my bun with it. The coleslaw is served in pre-​prepared plastic cups and, therefore, the top part was dry and flavourless. My roast potatoes really needed the BBQ dipping sauce to taste like much. The only dessert available was individually plastic boxed slices of a «lemon pie» with no meringue but a factory piped «cream» top that took me 3 forkfuls before I could taste any lemon flavour. Only water available is 1 type of bottled water.
The Ugly: The 3^rd thing they promise is no «friture». If french fries aren’t fried then what are they? Seriously people; get it together.
Only 1 of the 3 staff seemed to know what was going on and that one didn’t look like she cared. Also, she started preparing my partner’s order before even taking mine (or acknowledging my presence) even though we standing at the counter side by side.
Except for 2 uncomfortable benches that are right in front of the ordering counter that can seat 5 at most, the other 25 seats in the place are all extra tall wooden chairs. For short folk like me it’s a nightmare and the tall chairs tend to wobble if you are a person of size. There are hanging lamps right in front of the menu board that make it difficult to see, and the design of the place, in general, is a hot mess — way too crowded.
The Downright Disastrous: The noise! The vent was on full blast right over the noisy refrigerator with both the radio and the TV going. (Why a TV way up in a corner in a 30 seat place? Is it for the staff?) Sitting near that vent was also a freezing experience I will never want to repeat. We could barely hear our own conversation. Great for getting people to leave quickly. And the name Rotisserie? For a busy Saturday night I saw 1(count ‘em) sad looking little rotisserie chicken on the prep counter. All the other meat is in and under fancy cloche servers that I would expect to see at the Ritz. You cannot see the meat you are ordering. Not a good sign.
I may give this place one more chance but I really doubt it with so many other excellent places to go for this type of cuisine and, especially for rotisserie chicken.

Wonderful beef ribs, good service. What the heck more do you want? There are very few places in Montréal where you can get really good beef ribs. Well, this is one. And the roasted potatoes are great!
