Good poutine, fast service, great price. Not a lot of seating but there is a nice park across the street and some seating inside

The hotdogs are great as they are grilled on a flat grill but is also sliced in half. The poutine is also good and of a decent size. The service is friendly and fast paced as any diner should be. The configuration of the place is very retro so it created a different mood than what we used to. If you’re in the mood for some fast food and close by, it’s a good option. They do have parking but it’s small. They also have outdoors tables with sun shades and an outdoor order window. Great if you are on the run.

Excellent service. came with three tired and hungry children under four. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was great diner fare. They let us park in their lot while we explored town and one waitress gave us some coupons she had for an ice cream place in town after we asked about where to go.

Very pleasant and smiling staff, easy to see that the owner puts a lot of effort into his business! I find the prices a little high, but like any restaurant since 2020, it has increased a lot. Im taking one star off for the cleanliness of the tables inside, I got there after the dinner rush and the free spots were all still with the waste from the person before.

This is your typical lakeside hotdog and hamburger stand. What I like is they consistently deliver the same food year after year so you know what you are getting, no surprises and no pain. Their poutine is always very good with fresh cheese. Hotdogs are better quality dogs as are the burgers. The people working here are always nice and friendly. My only complaint is the counter stools are awful and have been awful forever, I have almost fallen off a few of them. There are picnic tables and an outdoor ordering window so you dont have to go inside.

I believe that only offering the canteen menu during the holidays did not help to give a good evaluation, no daily menu, no soup so I of course went back to a La Chaudière cheese poutine already when leaving I I dont like it too cold which means that every bite was cold, ask for extra cheese for a chance because there really isnt much cheese!!

My Hot Chicken 5/5

December 22, 2020

Simply disgusting, fried burnt as much for me as my friend cold cheese and tasteless sauce, dry cheeseburger no accompaniment inside cabbage or salad... For a total of $30.. its a scam. The employees speak loudly when denigrating a customer who did not leave a tip. I will never go back there... My heart ached for the rest of the day. Not recommended.

Generous portion for cheese in poutine! , poutine sauce however very ordinary! Some undercooked fries! In short, poutine is really not worth it! Additionally, the waitress handles the money and then makes the food. We saw him make poutine by taking the cheese curds with his hands and a cup when we had finished eating:/ if we had known we wouldnt have had the poutine!
