I first saw this place on instagram and their photos are so enticing I knew I'd be visiting eventually. It took a while but I finally had the time to go on a rainy day. It is a bit hard to find, the address brings you to a different storefront and it is located behind with its own parking lot and outside eating area. The outside eating area but it is not the best when raining as the tarp that covers the area is prone to overflow but it is very cute and in the summer it's ideal. I ordered the Mac and cheese and the Becky sliders. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Mac and cheese, and if you know me you know that's high praise. I am very passionate about Mac and cheese. The cheese is creamy without being sticky, and it's seasoned just right as to taste the cheese but with a kick. The sandwich was also great, the chicken was really juicy without being too watery or too hot with the fried portion slipping off. It was a 10/10 experience for me and I already can't wait to go back! read more

We were told that this weekend marked the begining of brunch at Bucky Roosters and we could not be more pleased. Fried chicken for brunch? Um, yes. We only tried the first item on the menu but if it's any indication of how good the rest may be we think this was a good direction to go with. But truly, the main reason for our visit was the keylime pie  - which did not dissapoint. A ginger bread crust and a sour cream topping sounds like a gamble but it pays off. It's worth cheating on any type of diet you might be on. read more

I know I just reviewed this place, but I couldn't stop craving their house buffalo sauce and had to go back! This is my husbands all time favorite spot in Montreal and I would say if I'm in the mood for chicken it's also a top for myself. The Moon Dog burger is an explosion of flavor and it's just so unique! The chicken is so thick yet tender and all the condiments on it balance perfectly. Only choose spicy if you can really handle spicy. I can handle spicy but I prefer their regular so it's not too over the top. These burgers are HUGE. If it's your man's birthday or you have a friend visiting from out of town, this is definitely the spot you need to consider. I also really like their Big Salad. The veggies are diced perfectly and the blue cheese sauce and fresh chicken make a flavorful and fresh blend. Their large fry is way too much for 3 people. We couldn't finish them all. Their fries are well seasoned and large and crunchy. They pair well with the buffalo sauce. Their coleslaw was "ok" I can't say I would order it again. My 6 year old son loved the fries and the chicken tenders. Treat your man to this place along with a nice cold beer and he will be in heaven! FYI: You can order for pickup online. Taxes and Tip are already included in the prices! read more

We ordered Moon Dog's for dinner. The Moon Dog burger has Chicken Breast with chilli jam, escabeche slaw, red sauce, pickles, house mayo on a potato bun. This is a great crispy chicken burger! Definitely worth trying once. Would recommend ordering from here if you are craving a great crispy chicken burger with a reasonably spicy sauce and are looking to try different kinds of Crispy Chicken sandwiches from different restaurants. Though I wouldn't necessarily order from here again as there are several restaurants serving better crispy chicken sandwiches in Montreal, at better prices! read more

For a special #thankyouthursday I have to leave a review we're a place that's been keeping me and so many other people smiling even during tough times by keeping our belly's happy and full. There's been lots of competition all over the place about whiskey sandwiches lately but you don't need to go to Kentucky to get the real deal, you go to Buckys park in the back go up to the window and get the moon dog. Guys I can't even begin to explain how good this is the potato bun the Asian slaw the sauce my mouths watering just thinking about it. You will not be disappointed and it's a proper sized sandwich so you'll be full on that alone but you can also get a side of there fries and dip them in the sweet chilli sauce. Not enough ? Papaya salad key lime pie house made ice tea are all available too ! I wish my pictures were better but honestly the food was to good to wait try em out and let's rave about the food the people and decor together ! read more

Bucky's is known for their legendary fried chicken so coming into the city we wanted to grab a quick bite. We ordered the "moon dog", which had chicken breast w/ chili jam, escabeche slaw, red sauce, pickles & house mayo, served on a potato bun. The chicken was super crispy and the mixture of sauces complemented each other well. The chili jam added a nice sweetness and kick and the potato bun was soft as well. However, the portion was pretty small for the price of $14. Regardless of this I would probably come back and try their regular fried chicken next time I'm in town read more

They get 3 stars because it's overpriced and while the tenders were good when I previously tried them, the fried chicken on the bone was slimy underneath the battered exterior for the thigh pieces :/ The breast piece is the tastiest and I LOVE their potato wedges may go back to try their lemonade and/or pies (the key lime one is calling my name). Decor and branding is on point though. read more

Bucky Rooster's - 1/2 bucket of friend chicken for takeout. Includes 5 pieces (2 wings, 2 thighs, 1 breast), 2 tiny pickles, 1 bun. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Bucky Rooster's gives us its own take on fried chicken classics. Their take-out menu is very diversified and they even have vegetarian options!! We tried two fried chicken sandwiches which were incredibly moist and savoury: the Moon Dog, which comes with chili jam, escabeche slaw, red sauce, pickles & house mayo and the Spicoli, served with sweet onion, house honey and their special sauce. The only issue with the burgers is the price. It seems a little high for just the burger (17$ and 15$). We also ordered the potato wedges which come with their cream &house chili sauce (amazingggg!) Finally, we tried two of their famous must-try desserts: the Black Out Pie (chocolate cookie crust with fudge, pudding and chocolate coffee crumbs) and the Frozen Lime Pie (key lime filling with a gingersnap crust and chantilly cream) Their drinks are huge (32oz) for the price you're paying! Overall, Buckey will satisfy your fried chicken craving perfectly. Can't wait for summer to try their cute terrasse!! Price: around 20-30$/person read more

Bucky Rooster's is all over the social media before and after it's opening. So finally, we marched towards the restaurant. The entrance is in the back. We placed our orders and paid for it. The staff was friendly and helpful with their recommendations. We got 5 chicken pieces that includes potatoes wedges, a bun, a pickle and two sauces. All these cost 36$ plus a slice of key lime pie (total 48$). Bucky Rooster's chickens are premium quality; I am a vegetarian so I brought the chickens for my carnivore family. It was mixed reactions, one loved it immensely, one founded it salty, one founded it ok. I enjoyed their delicious fries and the key lime pie (the crust so so so good). Overall, it was a fun experience. read more

On the pricey side. I ordered a Becky and it's ok. I was hoping for crispy batter on the chicken but it was a bit soggy and the sandwich itself was kind of a mess. The poutine is very good though and their spicy sauce is legit. I would go again when I'm in the south-ouest but honestly I wouldn't make a trip in the area just for this. There are other fried chicken places in mile-end. Edited: I dropped a star after trying Jack le Coq. For the price and for the value-prop, there is a huge difference between these 2 places and Jack le Coq def deserves 5 stars. read more

**COVID** Who can resist fried chicken? Not me, so when we heard of a new fried chicken joint we had to make the trip. Although the address is in Notre Dame you have to go in through the lane way in the back. The front entrance is only for delivery pickups (Uber Eats etc...). You can park your car in the back parking lot. The outdoor terrasse is really big and cool. They set up small bar tables all 8 feet apart to respect social distancing. We saw the cashier immediately clean tables when clients left which was nice. We tried the chicken thigh sandwich and the "beyond meat" chicken sandwich. They were both very good. The chicken was very crunchy which is nice, because usually they become soggy in in a bun. The potato wedges were also very crispy and the spicy mayo was good (although not spicy at all). We also took the papaya salad which was OK, nothing special. The lemonade is fresh and comes with an optional spicy powder inside it. I was hesitant at $7 but the size of the cup it comes in is crazy. Really worth the price IMO and can be shared. Prices are on the high side, but sometimes you gotta pay the price for good fried chicken and a clean safe outdoor eating experience. All good packaging is also eco friendly. Great job Bucky! read more

Don't get me wrong, the burgers are awesome here. I really enjoy the Moondog. Super good. But way over priced and that kind of ruins it.

We've ordered from here several times now. Pure and simple, the food is incredible. Yes it's on the pricey side, but honestly worth it for the occasional splurge. Finally there's proper fried chicken in Montreal (the spicy has definitely got some heat and the regular is still plenty flavourful; haven't tried the extra-spicy yet)! The wedges and slaw are also amazing. Had an unusual occurrence of overdone chicken last time I ordered. DMed them on IG and the manager got back to me promptly and offered a credit. Today when I inquired about using it she *phoned me directly* and walked me through the process. A+ customer service. Will continue to order from here as often as is responsible, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Allez-y Montréal, c'est ultra-délicieux! read more

I have been to Bucky Rooster's twice now. I will attempt to briefly summarize the experience and justify the high price point. Bucky Rooster's certainly delivers on quality of their fried chicken product. The chicken is fried to perfection. Point finale. I am not a big customer of fried chicken in general. So please consider the following under this context. The Bucky Rooster's fried chicken is the best I have had in Montreal. Now, you are in for about $30/person for 2 sandwiches , a medium fry and a drink which does sound a little ridiculous. However, I feel it is justified given the deliciousness and pleasure my gf and I experienced. Re: covid. At least they have parking next to the restaurant so you can eat your chicken fresh in the car! Next time I'll bring a towel to protect my back seat. I will be back certainly and wish Bucky and their staff well. I commend them for their successful operation during this time! read more

At any given point if I ask my partner what he's craving, 9 out of 10 times it's probably the beyond meat chicken burger from Bucky's. No exaggeration. Needless to say, as the omnivore in the house, I've become accustomed to eating a lot more fried chicken. When these guys came to the neighbourhood this year I was a bit turned-off from the intense branding they were going for. It's definitely grown on me since and I don't find it as obnoxious as I once did. That said, be ready for a bit of a bro-vibe if you visit. I think where these guys kill it is on the product- the menu is simple but a total crowd pleaser. The chicken is great quality and the seasoning is exceptional. The potato wedges, as others have mentioned, are delicious. In terms of dessert, I've only tried the bananofee pie which really wasn't my cup of tea, but I suspect it's just a pie for particular tastes. I agree that the prices are a bit steep but honestly, I think that's just the name of the game in St Henri now. But for real, take your veggie friends here, they may just lose it over the beyond meat sandwich. read more

We got a fried chicken bucket as delivery and it was delicious! It came with potato wedges which were a delight (and a really delicious change to regular fries). The 5 piece was more than enough for two of us, the chicken stayed crispy for HOURS and the sauces were really fun (honey, sweet chili and the spicy nosh)... I love sauces and places that give good variety! The packaging is really cute and definitely appreciated especially when every takeout place uses the same packaging. Overall I'm really impressed and will definitely stop in when I'm in the area for another little treat! read more

Absolute banger of a fried chicken. A bit on the pricy side but it's well worth it. Best fried chicken I've ever had.

I was so pumped to try this but when I found out it was the owners from Arthurs I was a little disappointed. Gave it a chance though and it is amazing. Hate that I love it so much. Pretty expensive (as is Arthur's so that was expected) but soooo delicious. Also, only giving 3 stars because they always say they are on UberEats but it's never available. Very frustrating. read more

The food is good but it's pricey and I was disappointed to find that the 5 pc bucket only comes with one roll, one pickle, and one small fry. It was an odd experience to pay $50 after tax and tip and only have 4 fries, half a pickle, and half a roll each. read more

Second time ordered here, everyone loved it! once again rly sweet employees! For quality of the food I dont find it expensive. Will be coming back :) read more

Too expensive !!!! 75$ for 2 sandwichs trio and you have to tip 15% even if you takeout!!!! Not worth the money and the drinks taste like crap. Go to the dollar store just beside and get you a 7up or something else read more

Got takeout recently! The Uber driver had to wait such a long time at the restaurant for our order, he was not happy. Then, I chipped my tooth biting into their Moon Dog burger, so that really sucks. read more

I definitely enjoyed the experience. The menu is fun and original. The employees are upbeat and helpful. Even the logo is fun. For the pandemic, the restaurant has definitely taken all the necessary precautions. As for the food... it's very good. I particularly liked the Moon Dog sandwich but it is very spicy, your lips will burn! I tried a little of everything and the quality was definitely there. They obviously invest a lot in quality of the product and marketing an original product, so that explains the higher price point. You pay for what you get. The only thing that we didn't really enjoy were the fries, but that's just personal taste. Great addition to the Mtl food scene read more

This chicken is, hands down, the best chicken I've had in Montreal. It was delivered hot and fresh. The chicken was crispy, savoury and perfectly cooked. The wedges were also great. The gave a little tub of honey that was the perfect compliment to each spicy bite. Finish with a nibble of the pickle...perfection. Do yourself a favour and pay a little more for this chicken, it's well worth it IMO. read more

This place is literally the best friend chicken in Montreal, hands down right now. But I was SUPER disappointed, I just ordered what I usually order which is a burger combo and got some brown fries, way different from the potato wedges and thai+sour cream sauce combo I've been used to through ordering many times... I wouldn't change that. sucks and I can get brown fries at any Belle Pro for 2$, you have to be worth your price and I was at the restaurant, this is not a question of miscommunication, we were just never communicated that information read more
