Fresh. Local. Flavour. “Gourmet” is about so much more than flavour. It’s about making the right choices. Our burgers and poutine are unlike anything you’ve tasted before because we stand by a number of simple principles. We make as much of our food from scratch as we can; whenever possible we support other local businesses; and we make every effort to minimize our impact on the environment. As a Nova Scotia family-run business, we offer more than incredible chef-inspired fare. We offer a completely unique gourmet experience no matter what choice you make from our menu.
ordered the mega crunch haddock burger and a poutine. i did get delivery so im sure thats a big factor for a bit of it. the haddock was very very tough and wasnt very great. was quite mediocre and cold. the poutine also came quite cold, not served in a foil bowl and honestly just tasted quite average. id like to try this place again sometime though cause they have alot of other options that look good.
Not a fan of ownership here, but the staff members (one guy with a red beard and the other with a smaller longer beard) really do a good job of customer service. The food is pretty good and fairly priced for what it is. Honesly the review would be a 3/5 if it wasn't for the customer service.
Gave me fries instead of the poutines I paid for, they fixed it which was fine. The beef tasted off and made me very sick shortly after eating it. The veggies didn't look the greatest either. Used to love eating here, amazing burgers and poutines, Maybe quality control isn't the greatest since the old staff have been replaced with TFWs...
This place has been going downhill for a while. I just watched the employee not remove the wax paper from the burger and put it on the grill. They refused to remake the burger or refund me. I got a cheaper chicken burger as a substitute. I will not be returning unless the employees receive some food safety training. Shame because I used to enjoy this place. Edit: they did end up giving me what I ordered. I was grossed out by the fact they put the bacon and onion ring in the grease trap, guess that's what they do when you point out their food safety. Definitely not returning.
Never had an issue with the taste of the food, but have a huge issue with how they prepare it. they sometimes use gloves and sometimes don't. when they do use gloves, they still touch everything they shouldn't be touching when making the food...rub their nose, handle money, scratch their belly (seriously witnessed this) They gloves are there to protect the food and prevent germ transfer not to protect their hands.
Lots of options, lots of taste! I tried this place on a whim during my vacation, and I loved it. The burgers here beat the ones that many chain restaurants have. You might have to wait a while during busy times, but it's still worth it.
Great Service Fries Are Amazing Also Poutine Was Good Fish Was Thin And Not Much Batter Not Like Hutch’s on the Beach In The Hammer Born In Hamilton Ontario From Gatineau Quebec
Delicious food, quick and friendly service, clean restaurant, and comfortable seating. They even had highchairs for babies and kids. The only thing missing was a change table for a baby in the washroom. I had my baby with me and was unable to change her at the restaurant.
Always amazing food and great service, love this restaurant!
ok. but last time I ordered a cheesy poutine. couldnt be eaten it was really salty
Best bacon wrapped curd hotdog ever!!!!
Always love the burgers here definitely worth it ! My favorite is definitely the farmhouse burger
Great way to spend a meal time. Lots to choose from Would not have thought of some of these combinations
Super friendly super yummy! Thanks
First time fish and chips, sorrily disappointed One of the three pieces was batter only, remainder was dry and chewy. Sadly the mega crunch fish and chips wasnt much better Raves on the burger but please package the sweet potato fries in a box. They were stuck to the wax bag.
Very good food
Delicious food, the mac n cheese burger was amazing but my favourite for sure are the pierogi poutine and the thai chili chicken poutine!
Very by tasty burger, probably after long time. Poutine was good as well. Highly recommend them
Just the best
Great food and service the burgers amazing
Burgers, perogies, fries and hotdogs are all consistently great. Menu is creative and flavourful.
Thai chilli chicken poutine is goated. Although be prepared for a reckoning a few hours later. Jumbo size was an absolute mountain to eat through. Definitely recommend this spot and will continue to try various variations of poutines and burgers.
Friendly and tasty
Very good food and nice staff I love cheese curds my fav place quantity of food that they give is amazing
I have been a Cheese Curds customer for 2years. This location is my favourite of them all. Jason, one of the managers is a hardworking customer friendly individual. He makes sure your order is hot and fresh! I recently tried the Chicken Burger. The selection of toppings was excellent. The burger was good. I wish it was made at the store instead of being shipped in. The previous Chicken burgers seemed fresh and hand-made. I preferred that particular version much more. Keep up the good work. Rob
Amazing food, very reasonable for specialty burgers! I had the Honalulu burger and the pineapple and bacon was very tasty. Vegetarian options: Meatless options for beef and chicken. Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options Parking: Big Parking lot with lots of space
I m in love with the customer service here. MAT (an employee here) is such a gentleman. The food was amazing as usual but this time, the visit was genuinely great . I wish I can give more stars for customer service
This is the haddock burger. It s though, dry, and burnt. When the food is good there, it is, but this beyond bad. This is obviously a bad dry fish and they still decided to charge me and put it between two buns. Inconsistent and I think it s the manager that always do bad serving (not enough sauce/fries/ or bad food)
Bussin - from da boys
The best burger I ever had in Halifax.
Quick, delicious and friendly staff. Made us feel like home, Quebec
Best thing I can say is the staff were very nice. But the day of the gourmet burger is long gone. Many of these burgers are just over done and way too busy. The onion rings are perhaps the best thing on the menu but are desperately lacking seasoning. Perhaps a muddled monster burger is your jam but it aint mine.
Food is phenomenal. I grew up in Quebec, coming from a place where poutine and burgers is religious. Cheese curds has the best poutines on the east coast. Lots of variety and the burgers are next level. I will be back on my next trip to Scotia.
Not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to buy a fish & chip from this place, but I did fish was undercooked and gross, even the air fryer couldn t save it. I thought the fries would be good considering it s a poutinerie, they were literally dripping in grease and disgusting. Don t waste your money on the fish and chip!!
First time here and it wont be my last :) I had the Honolulu Burger and it tasted fantastic.Very impressed Cheese Curds.Thank you :)
Fine. The menu had a lot of options and were pretty clever. As for the actual food it was just basic, but not bad. I barely had gravy on my poutine but oh well. Customer service was fantastic
Love going to this location. Staff is great, food is even better. Definately recommend this place if you havent been here. My go-to is the Honolulu Burger with spicy toppings. The sweet grilled pineapple compliments the heat. Will be back in the near future. Parking: Lots of parking at either location which makes it easily accessible
The service was fast, the food tasted amazing and the service was top tier! The ingredients are fresh and the pierogi poutine is killer Food : 5/5
Good food but got major zelda spoilers lol
We tried cheese curd poutine. It was yummy. Perfect place to visit for evening craving, friendly staff, appropriate space. Definitely recommend. Food : 5/5
AWESOME HAND DRYERS!!!!!!!! SO FAST AND COOL!!!!!!!
Its definitely a must stop! If youre a little hungry or a big hungry, theres something for you. From their chef inspired poutines with gracious toppings to their pickle chicken sandwich, this is the stop!
The manager is so nice always makes the best poutine I think his name is Jason, I would recommend 10/10
Absolutely delicious food the burger melts in your mouth, fresh ingredients. When we walked it we were greeted very kindly, so much stuff on the menu but I had to go with a classic burger. 5 stars would recommend
Love this place, I always get the toppings that I dont have at home. Never had a bad burger here.
AFTER SAVIORING MANY BACON WRAP HOTDOGS /FRIES AT Cheese Curds . I found there fish /fries delicious . Taste wise ,vg . Grease however, Aaaa little high for my loving . saying that, heat needs to be add . However there fryers cook everything together . The heat for the fries is perfect . So solving the fish heat to be hotter is best guest . I will however continue to purchase fish/fries there . Great cooking /Great taste .
I ordered alot of food, I bit into my burger and found two hairs in between it. Im disgusted.
Good food
We ordered a bunch of food and when it was delivered everything was squished and messy. We ignored it and ate our food but we found not 1 but 2 peices of hair in a burger. Very disappointing. We did call but we never got an answer.
I got the two-piece fish and chips. The fish was alright, not my favourite, but they were still pretty good. The chips, on the other hand, were kind of overdone, and the portion was huge, but thats neither here nor there. My girlfriend got the pulled pork poutine, and it was delicious definitely a must-try! So, all in all, if you are in the area, definitely check them out.
Amazing as always!
We order the periogi poutine to help support Cheese Curds donation to help the Ukraine.... it was delicious!!
Poutine was good. That was all I tried as I was not too hungry, but the poutine filled the void. Tasty gravy with good sized pieces of curd.
Gave me the wrong order with a nice long black hair in it. They said theres nothing they could do about it. Horrible experience.
Friendly staff. Good burgers and homecut fries are to die for. Fresh veggies and great selection of sauces.
First time trying at this place and we were amazed. I have to been to places where we can build our pizza but this is first time picking our own topping for our sandwiches. Tried different sandwiches, all had distinguishing tastes. Have to mention their service. Really friendly and patient. The person who made our order was really patient while preparing when we wanted all the toppings in our sandwiches ( basically we asked to add everything when the time was 8:20pm and they were closing at 8:30 pm and their were a few more customers behind us). My apologies to him for all the requests. Overall experience was very good. Will be going back soon.
Cheese Curds is always a delicious and friendly place to go.
There onion rings are crispy and hot. Also, their sweet potatoes with sauce is unique in the city.
Best part of this place was to select our own toppings and sauces. Ordered spicy black bean burger with lettuce, tomato, onions, jalapeños, spicy mayo, chipolte and bombay curry.
Thai chicken poutine is one of a kind.
Posted on behalf of my Dad - Robert Casucci I have been to Cheese Curds regularly in the last 6 months. it is located at 380 pleasant Street, Dartmouth Nova Scotia. The quality of the burgers and fries is top notch. The choice of burgers and toppings is plentiful. The quality of food here is what stands out most of all, along with their attention to detail. For example, they have sliced tomatoes and diced tomatoes, mango chutney, jalapeno peppers, banana peppers, and a variety of other toppings which are all free. The burgers and fries are fresh and made to order, not prepared ahead of time! Their poutine is delicious, and they have a multitude of varieties. My favourite is the Acapulco Poutine. They also have fried cheese curds as a topping - delicious. How about the staff at this location? I have had courteous, professional, attentive service from Jason, Mitchell and Nic! Well done gentlemen! I highly recommend Cheese Curds in Dartmouth Nova Scotia, its worth the drive from Ontario!
Amazing food and staff, Nik served us and was phenomenal!!
I love it here. They never screw up my order, they always have what I want, they are quick and food is always amazing.
Updated: Have since ordered from another service and the food is good. Best poutine in town with real home fries. Burgers are good too. Delivery service didnt deliver our food at all. Called and had to get a refund after 1.5 hours, our food never showed up. Will not be ordering again. Love you poutine but you need to change delivery companies.
Thw young man named ritik provided me with excellent service and made the best burger ever! :)
The Halifamous poutine was so fresh and perfect! Great choice for my first time in Dartmouth!
Our favorite Burger place. You will be pleasantly surprised with everything. Love it
Good poutine give the Tripple bacon a try
Just placed an order and got it. Have to say it tastes like changes were made, and not for the better. The beef patties looked and tasted very processed. And the chicken on the poutine no longer tastes or looks like real chicken.
When I feel like having a burger or a poutine this is where I come. I have no complaints whatsoever. The staff are always friendly and upbeat. Probably the nicest staff at any fast food place to be honest!
I have never had such a good poutine and burger! There was no shortage of stringy cheese and gravy. The burger was full of flavour.
the hamburger I had rates in the top 2 of the worst burgers I have ever had. not sure how you can say chef inspired and worth the wait when your using frozen processed patties. it was not worth the wait nor was it worth the money.
First visit was poutine and next time was and . We were not disappointed with either meal. The food was delicious We will definitely recommend. Planning to make another visit soon lol
Good food, always fresh, fast service!
Tasty burgers and poutine! There is a bit of a wait but as their sign says, its totally worth it! Definitely recommend the mozza- crunch burger :)
Nice recipes
Great food! Great service!
Fast friendly service with quality great tasting products... little expensive but worth it.
Well, everything were on point. The service, The representative were friendly, The bread, meat and vegetables were fresh and juicy. Therere 50 kinda toppings that you can choose for your burger just like subway theyll ask you at the end, So you can have freshness of it. Bit expensive but you get what you pay for. It is so heavy though make sure not to order a combo when youre not hungry. Loved the mango chutney, has its own authentic taste.
Cant order online the usual way on the website. UberEats is an absolute trash site, with terrible UI.
Food tastes really great.
I like this place fairly well. They have a poutine really like, but its seasonal. Their burgers are okay. I would pick them over a fast food place because they are local.
One of my favorite burger places. The food is delicious, a little expensive but worth it. The Honolulu burger is absolutely amazing. Had the TNT once, and was good but to spicy for myself. And my husband suaully gets the triple bacon BBQ which he really enjoys as well. The poutines are really good too! Will always take the little extra trip down to woodside for a treat here.
Great service, yummy food
Qent for fish and chips. Had the extra crunchy fish. It was delicious and lived up to the name every bite went CRUNCH!
Excellent service. Fries where cooked to perfection. The burger was very good and you get to choose your toppings and sauces. All this made to order is not cheap but worth it. This is not fast food. So just relax as the staff prepare your meal.
Amazing burger and fries! Great service
Great food but the take out order was a bit squished
I dont like fast food burgers and this one is no different. The fries are limp and the gravy in their poutine is quite salty. Not to mention the curds are never melted so that means gravy isnt hot enough.
Staff are always friendly and its never a long wait for the food
Excellent service, worth the price
It was delicious best poutine.
Amazing poutine packed with flavour. Might be the new go-to for poutine.
I got the legendary CC porker burger. Had high hopes, as the combo came out to almost $24. Very dissapointed. Burger was incredibly greasy (not in a good way), and very challenging to eat as the inner parts literally just slid out of the bun. Bun was wet with grease. Veggies on the burger were OK, comparable to subway. Onion rings on the burger were torn apart. Fries were cold, damp with grease, and average length of each fry was about 1cm long. To top it off, took about 20 mins to get my order. On the plus side, there is alot of selection for burgers and toppings. The patty had decent taste. Overall, dissapointed. Will not return.
Awesome as always!
Food is always delicious
Great burgers, fries and poutines! They have a great menu with unique burger and poutine options. Their menu also includes hot dogs. Highly recommend! Burgers are made fresh so may take a little bit of time to receive but it is worth the wait.
Excellent food and service
Great friendly and efficient service, and the flavour was spot on!
Always delicious. Staff are great, very friendly. Ill be happy when I can sit inside again.
Best veggie burger in the Dartmouth (spicy back bean and vegetable burger)
Quite decent burgers, with loads of choices for toppings to personalize it. Youll want to scope the menu out ahead of time to make your choices and avoid everyone behind you menacing you to move along... Popular for weekday lunch with the local workforce. Friendly efficient staff, clean tables and restrooms.
Great
They have to vegan burger options and veggie poutine with no cheese, yes please
Well, if you want a delivery order: do not order from them. We waited an hour. Called and were told they were having issues with their delivery company - and we would get reimbursed. So we will order from an other restaurant who can actually deliver food. Wasted time - hopefully we get our money back...
Honestly my favorite place for burgers. So many options and so stacked with toppings. Like subway, but for burgers. I could never look at McDonalds or Wendys again.
Great friendly service and good food. Well work its price. Only issue is the loud noise from the ventilation and the plexiglass combined with masks that make it hard to understand the staff. Stay patient and be prepared to talk loud.
Pretty solid burgers overall, poutine fries need a bit more time in the fryer.
Burges are decent, but the fries are always undercooked. Everytime I go lately its the same issue. Very disappointing especially since the prices are so high
Best burger in Dartmouth. Fish and chips too!!!!
Tried the Triple Bacon poutine. Very good lots of bacon. Recommend for bacon lovers everywhere.
Food was good, but not as good as it use to be. Bacon on the CC HOT DOG wasnt cooked enough and the fries were a little under done. They also now cook fish in with the fries fryer now too.
Soooo good!!! This is premium food for sure! They have so many different burgers and poutines its hard to choose really..
My favorite place for Poutine
Went to 2 locations as my dad wanted to see an old shipmate since he was in NS (no luck seeing bill) and both did very well amazing food. Kitchen vibes literally feel like youre on the ship ( dad was a cook as well) so when we were kids we got to see how it was... amazing people and great food
You like big tasty burgers with your choice of toppings or amazing poutine, you wont be dissapointed
Go every time Im in N.S. Brilliantly delicious food.
Great food ... staff were excellent.
Burgers are huge, poutine is one of the best around. You get your moneys worth. Nice staff and clean environment
I love coming here. Its my favorite burger place. My absolute favorite. It is a little more expensive than other burger places but I dont care!
BEST BLACK BEAN BURGER EVER!!!
Amazing as always! (Ukrainian poutine)
Not sure which did recommend to you because everything I ve ever eaten here is delicious my favourite is poutine but the burgers are to die for and great staff
Excellent pouting, as usual. I have to say I was asked to leave as they were at capacity dining. I was standing at the stand up table but THERE WERE NO SIGNS INDICATING THIS TABKE WAS CLISED TO DINERS. I didnt argue, but did tell the person who removed me to put signs on this long table/shelf. Also, the only two tables available and occupied were about 12 feet apart. How about adding a small table? It was cold outside and I ate at an outside table. It reminded me of eating my food outside during winter army exercises but there is one thing, Im not in the Army anymore and pushing 70. I may not eat here again for a while, at least until after the CIVID all clear. Even then, not sure if Ill bother. There are plenty of other places that serve great poutine and have a better set up for dining in.
Had a burger for burger week and was my favorite burger.
Amazing burgers and excellent customer service, will definitely be back
Awesome food. So many delicious burger choices.
This place is amazing. Everything is good. Stopped in for just a regular old poutine, nothing fancy, and still its one of the best you can buy. Usually a bit of a wait, they cook to order after all, but its worth it everytime.
Cheese Curds never disappoints! Been a fan since my first bite
I went for lunch and got the daily special which was the thai poutine. The chicken was good in the poutine. I wasnt expecting to enjoy the thai sauce mixed with the gravy but it was pretty good overall. Great cheese curds and fresh fries. Its a bit of a wait at lunch because of the amount of people making orders. But I wouldnt consider it to be too long. In the end I would definitely recommend.
Worth the wait.... Not a chance! Gourmet burger, is a stretch. Food was not as anticipated! Burger deflated, and fries were dry, burnt and just potato bits. Really gone down hill.
Been to both this and the Windmill Rd locations. Both locations live up to the hype! You will have to wait for your food to be made to order, but the wait is worth it for the fresh well-prepared food. Price point above average but paying for the extra quality. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, as did the friend I was with, and I could hear the two tables around me talking about how much they love their food as well. Highly recommend.
Always a deadly burger
For the quality and quantity food is overpriced. More employees sitting at tables for customers to use than working. Slow service. Some inappropriate comments made by working staff while customers could hear, wont be returning
Cheesy deliciousness. Give me that salmon burger any day of the week.
Amazing food always. Amazing service. A big thank you for feeding frontline workers.
Im a longtime Cheese Curds patron and just used their online ordering and pick up service for the first time. I was blown away by how easy the process was and how incredibly fast I was able to pick up the grub. Theyve made social distancing super easy with lots of signs and markings. We ordered veggie burgers with onion rings and fries and it was just as amazing as always!
Love their poutine and burgers
A bit disappointed at first that I didnt have as many choices for burger toppings (not sure if this was a permanent menu change or just for COVID 19 restrictions) but my Honolulu burger was still great and the family were pleased as usual with the poutine.
The staff are very friendly and the food is always great. Set up well for distancing too
Heard about it from someone else. Tried it. A little pricey, but was worth it.
Good food....
Good food bit expensive
Fast full covid protection and delicious
The staff are awesome and food is amazing
Cheesecurds is near and dear to my belly. Ive only ever eaten at the Dartmouth location - but its 100% worth it. I will gladly wait longer and pay a bit more (if not equal) $ for a quality burger. Fantastic selection; Ive tried at least 80% of the burgers), friendly staff, and one of my fav poutine places as well. Always recommend going here!
I ve been a long time cheese curds lover. However they have changed their burgers. They re obviously from frozen now and wayyy smaller. Barely any taste. Super sad to see my fave burger place go downhill. If you scroll down you can see photos of what the burgers used to look like, now they are small, pre cut frozen burgers.
Simply the best in town! Ever wonder why people hoo and haw over burger joints that serve up lousy grease bomb burgers with Velveeta and a Dixie Cups worth of fries? If you are hungry and want to see what a hamburger is supposed to look like, come to Cheese Curds!!
Great food. Having the soda fountain open to the public and not wiping it down is kind of a turn off
Triple Bacon BBQ Burger and a poutine!
I wasnt there
Food we got here the other day was delicious we did not know that they closed in 5 min when we ordered the guys never said a thing took there time and like I said it was delicious staff is very professional as well
Large portions of fresh cut fries and hearty gourmet burgers that are truly filling. More pricy than McDonalds but so worth it.
Love the food and service is usually good but today after being embarrassed into tipping when picking up a takeout order(my weakness I guess) i sat and waited and was very disappointed to realize as they called out numbers after mine that the man making the food actually forgot me. I had to go up and ask and he says oh I will get that right now. After a couple more minutes he ,without so much as a look saysheres your order Should I feel bad or should he???
Good food, but expensive for burgers and such. Good service
Food is really good, tons of choices for both burgers and poutine. But it can be a little pricey. For one person to enjoy a burger and poutine would roughly cost just over $20. Edited: Im editing my review to say that after a year of going to this restaurant, its a Friday night favorite now. It is still more expensive than other fast food places. But, I challenge you to find the taste and quality you get in another fast food burger joint. Well worth the extra money for the quality! P.S. The Monster Mozzarella Crunch is the best
Im normally a lover of cheese curds but tonight i tried their fish and chips and it was disappointing to say the least. This fish is so over cooked it is like jerky chewy. Yuck
Basically survived off this place during lockdown. Always great quality with quick and efficient staff.
