Bought a small poutine and received fries with cheese with no gravy. So do not recommend .

Something beautifully nostalgic to it. A obvious cornerstone of the community. I love it so much. Never change. Don't go later in the day though hahaha it doesn't taste as good, but I'm going there for vibes and the convenience.

To be honest, I wasn't super impressed with this poutine. Fries are store bought and not fresh cut. The gravy and curds were okay but nothing amazing. The restaurant was so hot I could not wait inside, and it wasn't even a particularly hot day. Additionally, service was quite slow for a restaurant only selling fries, so I could not fit a visit into my 30 minute lunch break.

Neighborhood restaurant from my childhood! First visit in past 10 years, place hasn't changed much except for Rachel who has retired after 40+ years working there! Classic fares: poutine, burgers, hot dogs, etc. Fries didn't taste as sweet as before. Reasonable prices, friendly service. Could use a fresh coat of paint and a thorough cleaning but overall very good!

I had a poutine delivered there. Very good portion but almost only fries. Theres barely any sauce. A little cheese on top. I am on a quest to try the different poutines in the region and I must say that I am a little disappointed with this one. Maybe Ill try it again one day.

I gave 1 star for the service because he never answers the phone no matter how busy or not. If we call these when we dont have time to wait there because we are working. For the small one I give a 3 star the fries are really good and the sauce but the cheese is just on top and nothing below. Missing more than 1/4 of poutine before you even eat it. I took an average for 8.75 tax included. These are not the bomb of poutines but edible.

And then she asked me aggressively, What do you want? Then she dared to ask me if I wanted to leave a tip. The poutine was good though!

Absolument allez ailleur, ça vaut pas votre temps >:( We waited for over 15 minutes all while this lady is ignoring our presence entirely. The sauce is burnt beyond belief and watered down, fries are reheated and then burnt, nothing is clean and there is not a single nice thing I can say about this place.

Marked as open on Google and on store poster!! But closed 1 hour before the corresponding time..... We drove 15 minutes for nothing. Fortunately we discovered the Hulloise paterie which was excellent and open...! A blessing in disguise given the comments blaming the hygiene and the decline in quality of golden potato poutines.

December 22, 2023

The poutine was acceptable, but not the best Ive ever had. The fries seem to be pre-cook half way and then they are put aside for until an order is made and they are then fried a second time. It maked for a greasy poutine. The lady behind the counter seemed very angry and was not very friendly at all. There is nothing to mention about the atmosphere here. Keep your expectations low.

December 22, 2023

Service was slow (1/2 hour to get 2 fries with a hotdog and poutine). Food was cold. One employee handling food, money, phone and equipment. Before COVID, this was my go to place for fries and pogos. First time back since and very disappointed. Sorry to see this. Won t be back.

I used to go here often as I lived nearby. Its a good place for a quick bite. The poutine is pretty good but theres better close by. They do sell more than poutine, here, which keeps them busy. Its a little joint in a residential neighborhood that will satisfy your cravings for poutine. Ive been back since Ive moved, its not a bad place; Id give it a 3.5 star, if I could.

Once an institution of old Hull, the quality is no longer there. I ordered 2 pogos and two grilled hot dogs. The pogo was lukewarm and the hot-grilled was only so in name, sausage barely heated (no grill mark) and had a greenish color. 2 bites and the rest went into the trash. 15$+1$(tip)+1$ (Parking). For a snack, go to Poutinerie Albert (Hull) or Gaga Patate (Gatineau).

December 22, 2020

The service was good, the fries are great, the poutine is a good portion (extra cheese and gravy on the bottom). The reason I am giving this a 2 star is because of the gravy. It looked so thick and delicious but the taste was awful. 3 of us tried it and we all had the same after taste which was of stale cigarette smoke. It taste like the tenants upstairs might smoke in the unit and the taste has made its way into the gravy. It was very disappointing, we bought a family size and had 3 bites and couldnt eat the rest.

December 22, 2020

No thank you, never again, its not like before, a lot of lost rings are overcooked...no average frit in a box of small frits

December 22, 2020

This place has been a classic for me for 20 years. Even though I no longer live in the area, when I m back to visit friends I make a point of stopping by. Sadly this weekend marked a low point and I don t know if I ll come back again. Service was friendly but much slower than usual. My steamy hot dogs were cold and the buns were stale and also cold. I could have dealt with that, but it was the poutine that made me really disappointed . Ordered une grosse that was skimpy on fries. Also fries were tough (overcooked?). The gravy was luke warm and gloopy of course that means the cold curds were unmelted. Basically, I get a better cass-croute experience when I m in Toronto. Now that is insulting, right?! I pray the owners correct this disgraceful experience.

Last time I eat this! They are not clean, dont wear a net or gloves, you pay happily and then without washing your hands or touching the money they touch your food. Undercooked fries still hard when you eat them. Its disgusting, plus its covid, its not clean.

December 22, 2020

It use to be the best, now the worst.The chips tasted like they were cooked in oil that hadnt been changed in months and the chips also looked like they were old and fried more than once. The staff was not polite and the food was worse. It is to bad it use to be such a good place to eat.I would never recommend this place to anyone and if anyone was to ask I would tell them never eat there because its a waste of money and your stomach will hate you. If I could give them less then 1 star I would.

Upon approaching the building, the smell of fries is so good and they taste just as good. The staff though.. they all seem to hate serving the english. The smiles they greet you with disappear quick when you respond in English. The hygiene can use an improvement too.

I love the food and slushies here, and I wish I could come more often, I just dont feel welcome.

Now this is the way poutine is supposed to be. Ive read that the cheese curds in quality poutine are supposed to squeek when you bite into them and I didnt know what they were talking about. Ive only had really soft cheese curds from Ontario poutine before that turn to mush once the gravy hits it. But now after trying this poutine I finally get it. I could feel the squeek. Of course their other key poutine ingredients (the fries and the gravy) were on point too. So it was an overall excellent poutine experience. Ill be back
