We ordered fries, but they were poorly cooked and overly oily. The taste was unpleasant, and we couldn’t eat them.

It’s a sweeter potato but I like it that way! We go poutines and hotdog and I will be back, it’s tasty, gravy is nice thick and brown and tasteful and the cheese is the squeaky salty :) I recommend!

Glen’s poutine is a classic in Kanata. Hits the spot when the cravings there. Unfortunately their customer service could use a revamp. I asked the lady “Hi how are you today?” Her reply to me? “It’s cash only”. I’m not asking for a 5 star restaurant service here but basic standard customer service would be nice. I can read your sign that states it’s cash only. I will second another reviewers comment that the service isn’t ideal for newcomers. (I grew up in Kanata and have been here a handful of times and still get this kind of service). It’s a bit overpriced for their portion sizes compared to other chip trucks in Kanata but still worth a visit if you’re looking for a poutine.

This is one of our favorite food trucks! Super good service, delicious treaty food and always room at the picnic tables 💛 the fries and gravy are delicious. I appreciate their kid friendly Pogos and burgers that are a decent size, but not overwhelming. A med fry was perfect for thee adults to share. Good location with lots of free parking.

Very fair prices with mediocre quality burgers and pretty good poutine 🍟🍔.I went due to high rating but was surprisingly disappointed. Poutine (3.6/5) - fries had good flavor but were slightly overcooked, curds were good but the gravy could have had much better flavor. Burger (3.1/5) - burger bun was the best part; the burger patty was of questionable quality and seemed like it had more fat/filler than meat.

This was my first time here, my son actually insisted we came. I only had a hotdog, but man, it was amazing! Honestly, if you can get my son to brag about a place, it's GOTTA be good, he is the pickiest water I've ever met lol Anyways....staff was amazing. Food was amazing. And they do the condiments for you, so you're not touching them after 100 other people. I even saw a staff member take it upon herself to help an elderly lady with her cart full of flowers. Wonderful! Thanks to ALL the staff, we will definitely be back again!

1) We went in early May and found the oil different, we found the chips dry and hard, not as good as last summer. We do love this place ordinarily. Will try again. 2) Well we did try again on May 25/24. They fixed the issue ...fries were delicious and oil is back on track! Nice comeback. Food

I have always loved and promoted this place. I went today after their reopening for the season. Potatoes were terrible with black spots and cooked differently - the inside used to be nice and creamy. Chips are smaller and dry. I am celiac and have never had a problem there. Today I got home and had a celiac attack. SO disappointed.

Our favourite chip truck but just got home with 3 orders and found our side gravy was all over the bag and none of it was usable. 3.00 for a side gravy and they couldn t put it in a secure container? Very disappointed when 3 orders of fries and a side gravy cost more than $23.00. We ll have to see if there is an apology and a credit given.

Foods a bit pricey, small poutine is 8.75 and very small for the price, fries were not packed down so there qas space in the container a bit more then it would be closer to fair. Gravy could have a bit more flavor but tasted fine, fries slightly undercooked.Pogos great, crispy and cooked well service was fantastic! Chip truck competition is fierce these days!

Very busy place. Fries are okay, but have that weird taste that about half of chip wagons have. I think it might be the type of oil they use.

Overpriced for their portion sizes and the service isn t ideal for newcomers. Poutine tasted alright though but I d still rather drive an extra 10-15mins for larger portions at 80% the price.

This is an unassuming little spot in Ottawa that deserves a much grander experience. Amazing food for great prices. Back to the good ol days when you could buy yourself lunch for under 20$ Keep in mind this is a CASH ONLY establishment. So bring more than plastic. Then again bills are plastic now... Poutine, Pogo, Burgers, Bratwurst and Polish Sausage. They have something for everyone. If youre not into meat the fries alone are worth the visit. A small is listed for $4 but the portion is equal to a large. Their large fries require friends to finish.

Great chip wagon in the Canadian Tire parking lot. Decent prices and selection. The fries have a nice texture and doneness to them, unlike some other wagons that try to rush things. Not these guys though. Their poutine has a great gravy, and a fair amount of curds to top it off with. Be warned though, it is cash only, so bring some bills!

The staff were very friendly and there was no wait for the food even though theyre super busy. The only thing I wanted to mention was they use Styrofoam please consider an environmental friendlier option.

There s one skinny male employee that has been super rude to me the last two times I ve been here. It s a shame because I usually love this chip truck and the female employees are always nice. I won t be returning when that guy is working though. He s impatient and rude with customers. Today he started swearing loudly at another customer in broad daylight. Very unprofessional.

Glens has consistently great fries. They are crispy and the staff understand malt and salt - they dont mind getting salt and vinegar half-way through loading up the large serving so you have flavour throughout. I does get busy sometimes, but we found it worth the wait.

As a *ahem* slightly overweight contractor, trust me when I say I know chip wagons. Glens is definitely one of my favorites in the city. Their cheeeseburgers are my personal favorite on the menu, and Im usually a hotdog guy! The burgers are big and super juicy, and the cheese is sharp and sliced fairly thick. The buns and toppings have always been fresh, no wilted veggies or crusty buns. Prices are pretty standard. As is the case with most chip wagons its in a parking lot, so dont expect an ocean view. Eat the burgers, revel in their deliciousness, thank me later!

First of all, this place is cash only--nothing to do with my rating, but its a tiny spot on their sign so just know that. The people were lovely, prices not bad, food was up quickly, and it wasnt bad, but they either use a weird oil or maybe its something about the packaging (whats with all the Styrofoam, Ottawa?!), but there was an off-putting smell to the fries I couldnt get past. The bratwurst was ok, but I also ate it cold so, who know, maybe it was amazing hot. To be fair, I grew up eating from chip wagons and have very fond memories, so it may be the nostalgia talking, but this one wasnt great.
