I saw this place featured on the Food Network and thought to give it a try. A co-worker also recommended it as well. The poutines came in 3 sizes and the portions were generous. Our group ordered 3 different kinds of poutine and the chicken burger. Every thing was flavoured/seasoned. The only pitfall was you were given this call button (if you will) to come pick up your order. When it went off, I went to pick it up and the employee snapped at me for taking it, telling me to wait. Strange, but ok. All in all this place is good.
My wife saw this location on TV and decided to invite a couple of friends out to try it. We ordered three different poutines and a chicken burger which came with a huge order of fries and a Parmesan peppercorn mayonnaise dipping sauce for the fries. The chicken burger was simple, but you don’t go to a BBQ place and judge them on their side salad. The Poutine was amazing and just a small order filled me up all afternoon and tasted great. I will be returning to try more.
This is a poutinerie on the Drive serving up a good variety of different flavours of poutines as well as dips. In addition to more common varieties (smoked meat, bacon, pulled pork etc), they offer some more uncommon flavours such as merguez, butter chicken, and kebab. You order at the front counter and is giving a buzzer, which goes off once your food is ready. During my visit, I ordered their Triple Decker Poutine. The dish was delicious and flavourful, with a very good amount of topping. The portion was pretty good: I had the large size, and ended up taking about a quarter of it home (it was still delicious reheated the next day). All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the food here, and I highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy poutines.
Triple Decker Poutine (Large, $16):
4/5
This consisted of fries topped with gravy, cheese curds, bacon, chorizo, and smoked beef. Of course, the fries soon got soggy from being drenched under all the gravy and meat; the ones that did not get soaked were quite crispy on the outside with a nice starchy centre, and were well seasoned. There was a very generous amount of meat present. The sausage had a nice bit of heat, the bacon was smoky while the smoked beef was incredibly tender and flavourful. The cheese curds appear to be "authentic" in that they did not melt, and had a nice chewy, bouncy texture. I found the gravy to be a tad starchy in texture, but quite flavourful with a nice bit of pepperiness. I did find the dish to be just a tad on the saltier side; it's probably best enjoyed with some beer (or water, since I'm not a drinker).

When it comes to poutine, I must admit that I am a purist. I really just want a classic poutine with fresh freshly made fries, squeeky cheese curds and well-seasoned gravy. In the past, I have taken a more adventurous route by trying more inventive poutines with creative toppings like kalbi beef, crispy chicken and even kimchi. But I never want to reorder those ones as I find their flavours too complicated in my opinion. The heart wants what it wants – and that is, a traditional poutine.
Really enjoy the variety of poutines and dips they have. Beware! the portions are huge. I'm huge, and I can't get through their large portions.
Ive only been here once. This has got to be the best poutine in town. Plus you can get pitchers of beer. I could barely finish a medium poutine it was more like a large. Two people could probably share a large, depending how hungry you are.
I ordered the regular poutine and it tasted just like any other poutine. Although, they have really big portions and I think their prices are reasonable. The service was really good and we didn't have to wait very long for our food.
Ate their 3 times, all 3 times left stuffed and happy. Excellent fries, excellent holland dip and excellent poutines. Hit this up for sure on the drive.
The decent selection of local beers on tap are what drew me to this place. Coupled with the poutine, this makes for a great way to spend an hour or two chatting with friends.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it came with chile and fries. The pulled pork was very good but I flavored it even more with the BBQ sauce. The bottom bun however got soggy very fast so I ate it like an open faced sandwich with just the top half of the bun. The fries were delicious as well. It was quite the meal for only $10!
