Mean Poutine deserves 11/5 stars. Been coming here over years and it is consistently the best Poutine I've ever had, specifically the deep fried chicken Poutine! John the owner is a great dude and it's always a blessing to see his smiling face serving the warm heavenly delight that will melt your taste buds off into orgasmic bliss with the perfectly rationed crispy fries, cheesey curds of delight and just the right amount of stomach warming gravey. Whichever version you get, you're mouth is garaunteed a good time. MEAN P š¤ā¤ļøš¤

When in Vancouver, you have to try poutine, said by everyone I know... OMG, was this so yummy. Perfect fries, covered in perfect cheese curds and gravy, topped with a huge portion of bacon, grilled onions and chives... one word... NOM!
Quick and easy poutine. They stock your standard, plus stacks of speciality options. We came here to give some friends their first taste of poutine and it didnāt disappoint.
We got the Fried Chicken Poutine :) The fries were perfectly crisp, nice gravy. Liked the crisp chicken pieces in there. The cheese was enough for the poutine . The price seems fairly reasonable. Wasn't much of a wait and got our box/plate fairly quickly. We'd go here again if we crave some Poutine.
The poutine was delicious and portions were huge for only $10.
If you want good poutine, I recommend checking this place out! Even though its just a food stand area nearby the entertainment district, there aren't any seating available, but regardless the food is very enjoyable.
I haven't tried their hot dogs yet, so maybe that is what I will do when I go back.
Delicious poutine with fries that bite back! My only complaint is that the gravy wasn't as hot/warm as i would like it to be and that there were no seats so i had to sit somewhere else.
Good poutine - but it is a bit lacking in cheese. And at the prices asked, you'd be forgiven to expect the place to have some seating available (or serve the food in biodegradable containers).
Late night revelers in Downtown Vancouver can always seek comfort in poutine at various establishments around Granville and Nelson.Ā In the last while, I have tried Frites and Smokeās Poutinerie which are both located in that area (though during the daytime).Ā It had been a few *years* since I last visited Mean Poutine so I decided to go there for an updated experience.

Mean Poutine has one of the best poutines I've ever had. I'm a poutine purist and don't really like too many toppings but their addition of green onions really adds an extra dimension. Their fries are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The gravy wasn't overwhelming and they were generous with their cheese curds. Not to mention the portion size is quite big. Perfect for a quick meal or craving!
Mean Poutine isĀ located in the middle of Downtown Vancouver just off Granville Street on Nelson.Ā Great place in the neighborhood especially when I was craving crabs. Poutine was great!Ā The price is slightly high but you will get what you expect it. Menu board Order counter and waiting/pick up area.Ā The staff was nice and friendly. Ā Fried Chicken @ $9 Crispy fries, brown gravy, fresh cheese curds, buffalo chicken chunks Fries were crispy; lots gravy and cheese.Ā The gravy was warm only.Ā Wish the gravy could be hotter to eat with the cheese curds.Ā Ā The bite size of fried chicken was tasty and flavorful. Ā GreatĀ snacks during the day and late night; they open till 4am Monday to Saturday. Ā Ā 718 Nelson St Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2 Ā Ā Ā http://www.meanpoutine.ca/ Ā
Fried chicken poutine. Poutine was great! fries were super crispy, lots of cheese and the chicken was so good. Would definitely go back
So goooood. All I can say is the Fried Chicken Poutine needs to be an option everywhere poutines are available. The bite sized chunks of battered buffalo chicken is so good, the gravy is tasty, the cheese curds delectable, although I could've used more, my poutines can always use more cheese curds! The fries here are awesome too, a light crispiness to them im going to guess from a quick dip in the deep fryer?
All in all, a must try for poutine aficionados.
Mean Poutine is one of the top choices for poutine in Vancouver. While they do offer hot dogs, and I have frequented this place ok sever occasions the point one has always been my go to.
Place is busy on nights when the Granville strip is lit up. Definitely worth checking out after a night out on the town.
This poutine is the best I know :) southern BBQ and Fried chicken my favs
The Poutine here has been voted in the top of Vancouver's restaurant charts for years now, and once you try it for yourself, you'll understand why. It's literally a hidden gem, disguised as a little cubby in between two restaurants on Granville & Nelson. It's a family run business, and these ladies are pandemic all-stars - they stayed open throughout the entire pandemic - and that kind of dedication to a business that you're passionate about should say enough about the upstanding quality of this unique, eclectic little 'hole in the wall'.
Update May 14 2022: gave it another tryā¦ delicious! But they now charge 50 cents for green onions
Update Feb 23 2021: went there today. had it to go and now that I'm home, the lady didn't put enough gravy, not enough cheese. they were so much better pre-COVID. not worth the $8 I paid for.
I started to go to Mean Poutine after my favourite poutine place changed hands. mean Poutine is fabulous. The ladies behind the counter are always smiling. It is a family business - mother and daughter look like sisters; there may be others outside the family.
I order the classic poutine and they put green onions ššš
Iām not sure what other flavours taste like.
If you like my post and photos, please give me a thumbs up š Thanks.
