I clearly do not have to review this resto because everyone already has summed it up, many different ways.
Chalet BBQ matches my "Return-Worthy" Criteria:
1) Good Service 2) Good Product/Food 3) Reasonably priced.
I've been here a gazillion times with my hubby. The ambiance is so cozy, and the waitresses are so sweet. The fries are absolutely amazing and so is the chicken. The small salad is also quite filling and worth the $2.95.
Definitely a gem to try in the NDG area (right @ Decarie / Sherbrook)! -

What's the deal ? What's so exciting about this place? Oh my god, just the chicken itself, super moist, perfectly cooked, OK Seasoning. The price! Yeah is very decent. It's pretty much like a home St-Hubert. Like Lafleur home-super-greasy fries. Which is a real.It's kind of not a big deal, but we order from them on Chicken Friday at the Office, Greasy food increase the morale of the troops!
Cheap, Ok meal with load of grease! Nice classic -

For a proper chalet chicken dinner, this is it for Montréal. Although it's nestled in the NDG neighbourhood, it's easy to reach by car and definitely worth a visit.
The 2 leg and half-chicken meals we got were tender and without fault, tasted homemade and traditional. With each meal comes a choice of fries, chicken soup or creamy coleslaw. The chicken soup is good for cold days, especially because it's full of half-shell pastas, but I loved the vinegar-based coleslaw. It was a refreshing accompaniment to the sloppy, juicy, herby chicken. If the chicken hadn't been so filling, I may have gotten another full order to go.
What really blew me away was the sauce, as it was fragrant and full of what I interpreted to be herbs, but really I can't say. A real je ne sais quoi about it. When we bugged the waitress for the secret to the sauce, she just came back with two extra containers and a coy look on her face as if she knew we'd devour it even if we didn't know how it was made.
The take-out line grew and reduced like a stop-motion film - a testament to the speed of their service. The space is open, warm (brick oven in the back) and comfortable enough for you to pass out in an apres-poulet coma, which is exactly what we did. Be prepared for the meal by starving yourself a little beforehand, otherwise you won't have any room for dessert. Your starving wallet will also thank you, as this is easily the most economical place for dinner aside from buffets. -
Review from Blair M.
By far the BEST!!! BBQ chicken you'll ever have.
Chalet Bar-B-Q has been a Montreal staple since 1944 and they sure have mastered the art of BBQ chicken, whether dining in or taking out this place is a cut above the rest never to be put in the same category as such garbage as St. Hubert or Swiss Chalet and in my opinion (and this is a big Montreal debate) much better than Côte St-Luc Bar-B-Q.
I only get one meal when I come here and although I'm sure they serve other things I have yet to ever look at the menu, for me its all about the double leg dinner with fries and a coleslaw. Pure heaven. My mouth is watering just thinking about it and I just finished eating it. -

Fantastic chicken, fries, gravy and soup. St-Hubert or Swiss Chalet don't hold a candle to this place. Service is brisk but friendly.
My only gripe is that for $2 per small glass of fountain soda, a refill ought to be included. It would cost them literally pennies. -

Best chicken ever! I take out and sit down in the restaurant. Mind you, the restaurant is quite dated if you sit down inside, but it's part of the atmosphere! My favourite BBQ chicken by far, in any City I've been to.
This hails over St Hub in my opinion...anybody know Swiss Chalet? It's similar only better. They are very efficient in their take out area too, go in the back door for takeout. -

Hi Guys its Johnny Mou your friendly old time Montrealer now on the West coast here In LA, I dream of the places I used to go to in Montreal and New York as the food industry out here is always a turnover of styles and fashion . Whatever,,, ,anyways as an old time restauranteur I had a hankering for Chalet Bbq recently as I used to go there regularily with my family growing up and later on with my ex girlfriends especially the Bells who loved this place
. Their chicken is boom the best and better than St Huberts and its like an old style family place. I also used to know the ex chef Mr Zserbynsky as I knew his kids from amateur sports ,anyways later on circa 1980s me and some of the old professional eaters would go there and scoff on basically everything we can order from the limited menu ,we would freak out the lady servers because when your sitting there with Glen and Cliff and Mike D our check averages were like 3 times higher than the average guests ,good times great place,. Anyways I had a hankering for this place and when I do come back to the city 1 day Im going there eveyday,so there. -

This chicken was awesome. Tender, juicy, flavorful. The coleslaw, the vinegary and sweetish variety, no mayonnaise here. . . was very very good. It was just. . . really good. Baked potatoes come with generous lumps of butter and sour cream.
Simple checkered plastic tablecloth place to eat a very cheap and delicious meal.
Really really good. greasy fingers. slurp slurp.
i can't really write any more, I'm getting sad. I'm hungry. Since I'm now back in Massachusetts, I need to go find something else to eat. Alas. -

Our first find on yelp in Montreal. THANK YOU YELP. Chicken with everything and more of what I read on ratings. Fresh slaw, killer chicken and whoever is reading this . . . get the fries - its worth every calorie!

This is definitely the best restaurant in Montreal for rotisserie chicken! The chicken is so tasty, juicy and tender, and their fries are amazing. While the decor is out-dated, you go to this place for the food, not the ambience. After trying their chicken, I'm certain that you will never want to go to St-Hubert's ever again.

WHEN I start eating chicken again, the first place I eat it will be at Chalet Bar B-Q. Swiss Chalet and St-Hubert roast up a poor man's rotisserie chicken in comparison.
I used to live about ten doors down from CBBQ and some weeks I'd eat here NIGHTLY, and that was as a one-step-from-hobodom McGill student. The quarter chicken dinner is something like $2 or $3 cheaper than at Swiss Chalet and the chalet sauce yields the perfect penetration for fry and chicken dipping.
The servers, quintessentially Quebecois, are your typical burgundy & spiked haired, poorly aging (sunscreen, people!!) older ladies and may have been working here since the place opened in 1944. They may or may not speak English but you know what you're getting from the moment you walk in the door so what does it matter. Decor is nothing to get excited about - it's outdated and musty and you may actually forget it's the 21st century as you mow down on roasted chicken.
Like Swiss Chalet they have a separate takeaway counter. Worth the drive to Montreal! -

All this place has is the Best Rotisserie Chicken EVER!
French Montrealers will tell you St.Hubert has the best chicken and less sophisticated English Montrealers will tell you its Cote-St-Luc BBQ - but don't believe them, this is North Americas best.
Part of the beauty is the simplicity of the menu, which is pretty much Chicken, potato and slaw. The chicken has a delectable crunchy seasoned skin covering the juicey meat.
The sauce/gravy is so good I've often thought about drinking it straight, so be sure to order extra gravy, you'll want to lap it up with the roll towards the end of the meal followed by the wing for desert. This wing is so crispy you can eat the bones. -

Some of the best chicken I've ever had. Although this is NOT barbecue. They do serve this rotisserie-style chicken with a side of sauce they call bar-b-q. This is not traditional American barbecue sauce. The service is no-nonsense. Nuttin' fancy, but if what you are looking for is good chicken then this is the place. So tender, juicy and flavorful. Excellent chicken noodle soup too.

Roast My Soul At Chalet BBQ...
Prior to visiting the south, I would have called this the best BBQ chicken in Montreal. Now I know to call it the best rotisserie chicken in Montreal, don't believe those cote st-luc'ers.
And the gravy at Chalet may induce seizures from taste overload...be forewarned,aye, here's the rub, the coleslaw along with the chicken noodle soup, are f#cking' fantastic.

The Yelpers are right and so is my uncle... Chalet is some awesome montreal chicken. The gravy is fantastic and so are the fries. I even ate coleslaw, and I don't even like coleslaw! 5 stars for a meal under $10!
