599 Rue Principale, Granby, QC J2G 2X9, Canada
Unassuming counter-service option for casual eats, including poutine & hot dogs.
Didn't like their poutine, the sauce tasted awful, like hot plastic smells.
Overrated, tried this place after the zoo, waited 45 minutes in the drive thru line up, service was excellent and staff friendly but food was OK (two hotdogs and a poutine). Below expectations considering the hype and the line up.
THE BEST BEST BEST BURGERS!! What a team, organization is perfect. Very professional and clean. No matter how busy, they always seem to hold it together. I will be back all summer. It is five minutes away from Granby Zoo. And we have season passes. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Love it!! The poutine is considerable pretty tasty and good portion, big pieces of cheese and the sauce perfecto! Great decor!!
We stopped here on our way through Quebec so we could experience some authentic Quebec poutine. I loved the retro theme and all, but the food was lacklustre for me, especially for the price. Honestly I think I’ve enjoyed poutine more at McDonald’s and my local restaurant in Ontario. Good curds, but that’s where it ended for me. The burger was good beef, but like others have mentioned, on the small side.
A tasty cantine well known in Granby. If you are in the area definitely worth a stop but dont make a detour out of it. Its your typical burgers and poutine stop. Known by all the locals and pretty busy its a great alternative to the fast food giants
We were told that we had to go here for the very best poutine. Poutine they have, and a few other fried foods, but the menu is very limited. They also have an ice cream shop attached/incorporated. I can't say that the poutine was anything special: it tasted the same as the other three restaurants in town I tried the poutine maybe I'm just not a Poutine connoisseur. The ice cream, however, was very tasty. Soft ice cream with a lot of topping varieties.
Amazing poutine, totally worth the 10 min detour! Had one classic and another with bacon. Both were fantastic. The fries are not soggy, cheese curds in abundance, and delicious gravy. We also could not help but try their chocolate-dipped soft serve which was equally good! Will definitely be back on my next trip to the eastern townships.
This is the second time Ive been there, the first I didnt really like the poutine which lacks cheese and the sauce is very ordinary and bland. So I tried a burguer secondly and I was also very disappointed for the price. Its really ordinary, we do just as well at home. Its disappointing like the uniform and the place itself with the sign, it remains very pleasant as a physical place, but I wont stop there anymore as there are better elsewhere
Very good potatoes, the best in Granby! Well bacon too!
Taste their good poutine!
If you want to get the facts go to the REAL friends of poutine page.
Best canteen in town, always very satisfied every time!
Super friendly staff and fast service
Smiling and kind staff! Good snack food :)
Welcoming and friendly staff! Delicious cheese curds, but I found the sauce ordinary! $18 for a trio of small poutine & 2 steamed...
Disappointed a little, the hot dogs were cold and the Poutine sauce was not the best I have tasted.
Quick service, the poutine was good but I didnt think it was the best, I took a minced meat poutine with cooked onions, I was disappointed with the quantity of meat received at the price of the poutine, I will not return to this restaurant again!
Fun
Impeccable service and serves very good food!
Nice decor but they got my order wrong and the food is ordinary
Lots of people there is life even late at night
We ordered a family fries to take away, we ran out! The format was tiny! That s the equivalent of one fries for two people! Very far from being a family format! Very disappointing for the price!
Very good
Ordinary poutine but good, eaten better elsewhere. But the Ben Beacon Burger is one of the best Ive eaten in a long time
Arrive at 12:00 p.m., checkout at 12:45 p.m., served at 12:55 p.m. It costs a lot too much because its cheese doesnt even melt in poutine with warm sauce. Cold fries. In short, we will never go back there. $35 for 1 pout 1 fries 10 croquettes....clearly exaggerating
Were coming back!
A real plunderer of Quebec comfort food! Excellent service in a retro atmosphere, a must if you pass through Granby!
Cute place. Cheap. Food is okay...
Well bacon is the best choice without forgetting the poutine!
A very pleasant meal on the go! Despite the good attendance we were served quickly! It was very good!
A classic in my hometown! Super fast service, excellent food, clean with a family canteen atmosphere. Whether its poutine, hamburgers, fillets... everything is good, plus you go to the counter side right after and you have your dessert at the ice cream bar :) A must in Granby!!!
Ok, as a canteen, its good...but its expensive for what it is. The poutines are good, the fries are the best in the region but damn the bill is steep. Yes I will come back but not often...
I dont understand the enthusiasm for the place. I had one of their classic bacon burger with poutine. 3/5 for the food. Where things go wrong is in terms of cleanliness: dirty toilet, no soap The clientele leaves something to be desired. Lots of unpleasant elderly people who show impatience with the children, unclassy BS who hustle to reserve a table In short, I stopped to eat there because I was passing through but I certainly wont go back. 2 stars instead of 1 because the employees are very nice!
Disappointing quantity-price ratio, too expensive for the size of the portions. Steamed hot dog in toasted buns and no cabbage inside. Parking: Behind the restaurant with plenty of seats.
Very good food and very good, fast service and vintage atmosphere, I love going to this place.
The best poutine and the best ice cream!!
Very good poutine!
Its simply excellent. The food, the portions, the welcome, the remarkable staff and the atmosphere, everything is perfect.
Our family of 4 all loved this place. One of the best poutines weve had. The brown sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of belle provincial style fries but these from Ben la paunch were crispy. The burgers were good. Quality and price I would 100% return if we are in the area. The line is long but its worth it. Service can be better but lets keep in mind that this is not a restaurant but a fast food restaurant.
A tradition that never gets lost, always delicious!!
I was 15 years old I was going there with but friends Today Im 65 years old I go with but friends still good . The only thing that changed the decor
Exceptional service. At Ben la Bédaine it works. I dont particularly like the red pepper sauce. Too clear. A thicker brown sauce would be in my preference. Kid-friendliness: High chair!
Good poutine!!!
A good BenBacon
Awful, hamburger smaller than a childrens happy feast from McDonalds, flavorless fries and starving hotdogs. Reputation sure.
Always a pleasure to eat at Bens. Poutine is the best
Really disappointed with the poutine
Very good, despite the fact that an old man listens to chicken videos at full volume for a good 30 minutes and when another customer politely asks him to lower his volume, he freaks out at him, because he really cares about his chicken video at full volume.... Despite this comical and embarrassing alteration, very good service and very good price
The canteen-style square in Granby. The poutine and smash burger are delicious. The dining room is welcoming and decorated with hockey stuff. The staff is courteous Parking: There is plenty of parking
I went to Bens house on Friday September 13th. I dont know what happened but it wasnt really good, it was as if he had cooked their fries in oil which had to be changed. The fries were dark brown, never seen that at Bens and not so good I must admit that this is the first time that its not good at Bens
Very entertaining
Cantine Ben La Bedaine is the perfect place for a poutine or a hot dog in a retro atmosphere! The service is fast, the portions are generous, and it really tastes like Quebec fast food at its best. Whether youre passing through Granby or a regular, its always a sure bet to satisfy a little craving.
Amazing name for a cantine ! Food was really good, service was great and pleasant. Would recommend any one in the granby area to give this place a try
wow good poutine
Poutine in all its forms, even frozen!!!
Affordable price but too much hype for what it is very little cheese on the poutine even McDonald s has more cheese on their poutine . But still very good... be patient even at 2 p.m. we queued outside
Good, clean, really ordinary food
ah well if you want to eat the best poutine in town it s at ben s, but everything is good and the service is fast and they are all welcoming
The poutine as well as the staff and the service very satisfied in 5 seconds my order was made and everything was delicious
We never tire! As soon as I pass through Granby and see the iconic sign, that s it, the idea of having a poutine there emerges in me. Although the line is sometimes discouraging, the employees are efficient and keep smiling despite the rush of customers! In short, poutine, we can never say it enough, is the best!
Good and cheap
It s always a pleasure to come to Ben s. The Poutine is perfect and the burgers are very good. Ice cream in the evening is also a great adventure.
Too bad I missed cooking a pogo, reheated in the microwave its time to change the oil on the fries... the poutine sauce was burnt and stuck at the bottom of the cauldron, disappointing for a supposed icon of the best poutine.. full of paper packets of salt everywhere, the 2 employees who took care of the cleaning were sitting on the counter of their small cubicle.
When you ask for hot dog mustard cabbage well I expect to have cabbage not 3/4 grains of cabbage. Frankly my other one was worse enough that I was insulted and what about the bread?????!!!!! Dry ..well, we ll go straight
Not edible, the poutine was cold and the service was long
Weve been hearing about it for years. It was therefore a must during our visit to the area. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Absolutely nothing extraordinary. Tasteless fries - cheese that doesnt melt and a tiny cheeseburger - tasteless.
A hole filler...its good for everyone.....
Despite the traffic, the service is fast. The place is friendly and clean. The fries are quality and very good. The poutine sauce is ordinary and tasteless. Burgers look like stuffed buns. $55 for 3...! Not sure Ill go back there.
Its a very sought-after canteen. The service is fast, the staff welcoming and its really good. Its worth the detour for fast food lovers.
Rarely have I had the chance to feel like a pressure washer after a Pogo, onion rings and a bite of poutine. If you want to repaint your toilet bowl, eat this. The service and atmosphere was good.
The sauce is no longer the same
A great place to eat! A retro atmosphere which is pleasant and canteen classics which are not displeasing. My small downsides are the lack of generosity in terms of poutine. At $35 for 2 very classic trios I would have hoped for a poutine that overflows as tradition dictates. I also found the service very mechanical. It could be warmer. That said, the taste of the food is worth the detour. Im just being constructive in my comment.
Fast service, incredible poutine sauce, original and very good hamburger. My belly was very full.
A little expensive but very good
Quite simply the best poutine in Quebec. Good value for money. Very fast service! Its worth the detour!
Vegetarian options: Beaucoup de choix pour le vegétarien Food
Nice place
Not bad food and reasonable prices
Restaurant and creamery, special choices of burger and hot dog
Very good restaurant and very good service and courteous staff I love the fact that it is a drive-thru
Too often the line but the food is excellent
Although native to the region, first visit. Friendly snack atmosphere.
Always as good their poutine and mouth hole and well bacon wow Always tasty for years and it doesnt change and very courteous staff and I recommend this restaurant
La Cantine chez Ben, retro style. A united team that has worked in a friendly and joyful atmosphere for over 70 years! It is also a loyal clientele who are part of the adventure and who always motivate us to move forward. A unique atmosphere, a step back in time To see the traffic and the internal waiting line and as many at the drive-thru order. It is certain that the customers are loyal there. Several varieties of Burgers and poutines, all very tasty and delicious. A family canteen from father to son for 3 generations.
A classic.!!!.yummiam
Excellent !
Wow, it hasnt changed, its still as good, its been 10 years since I went there
Fast and clean but the food is ordinary and the liquor in the fountain is not drinkable, sugary dyed water
Lots of waiting given the huge popularity. Otherwise, its excellent
Clean and tasteful!!!
Very good food the price A large poutine with 1 hamberger and small fries is good, it costs $20, its been a long time, I havent seen that Fast service and welcoming people small outdoor fountain with marquee relaxing area thank you!
Theres nothing good, its better to go elsewhere, its hard
Very good and fast service! I liked it! Plenty of space both inside and outside.
Never seen such a small hamburger in my entire life, it was embarrassing. Steamed hot dog with barely steamed toasted bread, rather dry and sad. Good poutine but small size for the price with correct cheese. Its hard to believe that so many people return there. Small anemic fries, but good, I understand why the waitress showed me that it was the small casseau. The service and cleanliness was impeccable though.
I think that reputation is overrated. The mouth-hole hot dog (its a real joke compared to the details of the condiments when ordering versus the result when eating) see photo! An all dressed toaster with a cold sausage Only the poutine had a semblance of GODD thanks to the sauce if not the correct cheese just like the fries!
A delight.
The service is very fast. The food is good. But I found the sauce for my poutine to be much too liquid.
I asked for a fry and received in my opinion a very small half fry. It didnt exceed the cardboard cup. For the price its outrageous. I definitely wont go back there. Too bad because I was recommended this canteen.
Really good! But poutine lacked cheese, a little disappointed at $10 for a small poutine, I was expecting more.. The bite-sized poutines are still just as good! Very good service but you dont have to be in a hurry to get there, the line is very long inside and they prioritize ordering from the drive-thru (normal, I understand). Ill go back there for sure!
The poutine is very good. These are fresh potatoes, not frozen. I would have had more choice in formats.
Very good and fast
The best poutines in the world.
Beautiful welcome
Very good for a quantity Good portion
It s a must when you come to Granby
Very good, I love their poutine :)
The ice cream is excellent. The maple coating is excellent!
The food is good, but aluminum plates and plastic forks going in the trash in 2024 arent great. Aluminum can be recycled even when soiled, adding bins to collect these containers would be a good first step. And what are you waiting for to have compostable forks?
The best canteen in Granby, poutine is delicious to taste
The best prices for eating well! Very good canteen.
The worst cheese curds vs amount of poutine size, very embarrasing for them to be serving such portions of lackluster cheese curds
Good poutine, I really liked the sauce++. Parking: Very big.
A little snack, took the small fries but I regretted not having taken the regular one. Excellent and hot dog too
Very small hamburger
Ridiculous waiter I know why you dress them like that but I see it as a humiliation but the food is good were not going to lie
Difficult to do better, not suitable for dieters
Great place for a late night snack. Very nostalgic.
Always good and fast service I highly recommend
Fast service! The formats are good. Simple menu with trios.
I love Ben la Bédaine, the poutine is incredible with a tasty spiced sauce. Impeccable and fast service. THANKS
Very good sausage poutine! Lots of sauce, cheese and delicious fries the secret to a good poutine
I liked the fast service and polite staff, very clean restaurant
Nothing to say about service and cleanliness. The staff is smiling, the service is fast despite a big rush and is on the lookout to clean the tables as soon as a customer leaves. Food wise its disappointing especially value for money. The burger bun is quite dry and the meat tasteless. The potatoes are good on their own but the poutine is very average.
Putin 7/10 Burger 6/10 Impeccable service. But no pickles for the burgers.. It s still an institution in Granby, so I recommend it. Nothing sensational!
A snack bar is very well known in the region, possibly because of its illuminated sign. The place is very busy and crowded with people, considering the popularity. The service when taking and receiving orders is generally good. Patience is required. The food is good but the portions are small compared to other restaurants. The price is quite high compared to the portions. There are other restaurants nearby like La Belle Province for example which serve the same type of food possibly at a better price or better portions. In short, its not the ideal place to eat frequently but the place to stuff your belly only occasionally.
Food
I give 2 stars its beautiful the hoydogs made with uncooked toaster bread are dry as if you put it in the microwave no cayenne pepper for a hoydog canteen its not strong Im going back pus its not good
very good food at a good price -parking space still available even with a pick-up it is easy to park +welcoming staff +accessible for people with reduced mobility
Parking: Beaucoup de places même si des fois l été il est difficile den trouver Kid-friendliness: Les enfants peuvent y trouver leur bonheur
A random restaurant where we decided to stop during our visit to Granby and what a great discovery!! The bacon poutine is one of the best poutines I have ever eaten! The fries, the sauce, the cheese, everything was delicious! Definitely worth the detour!
For such a popular canteen, for me you are in my top 5 of the worst poutine and hot dogs I have eaten. I loved it, I will go back
They respected the requests of my order. The fries were well cooked! The employee at the counter was super friendly and friendly!
Not what it was before.. The sauce tasted like water and the fries were overcooked..
Good Poutine but the mouth holes are more than perfect an institution has tried
The best poutine ever!
BEN BACON
Always excellent sure everything
Excellent service and very fast
When you have a taste for fast food
Best poutine in town!!!
I dont understand why this restaurant is so popular Walk 45 m to go eat at Ben la Belline I wouldnt say it wasnt good and I wouldnt say it was super good either. Dont take the detour
