We frequently get Jack’s poutine combo meals and they are delicious. We often call ahead and our order is always hot and ready upon pickup. He’s such a hard working and kind man! Go support him! The food is awesome and the service even better!

I’m a single dad and I frequent jacks a lot, today I wanted a poutine and burger but was slightly short. Frequent flyer points must be a thing because he still gave me a combo burger and poutine meal. God bless this man, this is why I choose to support local and not franchise owned.

jacks chip truck was an amazing place to bring your family to get food, the guy that was serving us was so sweet and kind "you're going to love my poutine" and we did. It was delicious, the gravy was awesome and he was generous with the amount of cheese, usually when you get poutine at a chip truck they dont add alot of cheese, but jacks chip truck added a good amount of cheese. I would definitely recommend eating here with family or friends🥰

Jack is always amazing, the poutine is amazing, and his smoked meat is the best in the city, most down to earth person I’ve meet in a long time and so wholesome. Thank you jack!

Delicious poutine! Fast service. Nice picnic tables in the shade next to the food cart. Highly recommended. Cash only.

Was told about this food truck and had to give it a try, my burger was not as hyped as was made to be and I had some uncooked fries in my poutine. Gravy was great, toppings were fresh and drinks were cold is about the best I could say about my experience. It wasn’t busy at all, there was one lady in front of me and that was it. Sadly didn’t have the experience I was hoping :(

The food is always good and on point. Pogo combo and a poutine. Bacon cheese dog with a poutine. $21 kind of hard to beat for the size of what you get.

Great poutine; tasty gravy, crispy fries, cheese could ve been melted a bit more but otherwise 5/5. Had to abandon my local chip truck because of price gouging, this place offers a hearty small poutine for $7.

This is my favourite chip truck! I ve been coming here for over 18 years and it has consistently been 10/10 quality service and delicious food. The owner is so nice, very friendly, gives great portions and is always happy to help. The poutine is my favourite, the fries to cheese to gravy ratio is perfect! Every bite has a great mix of each down to the last one. The Pogos are good, crispy and tasty! The combos offer great value! There s a great variety of options on the menu! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this truck!

Wow, just wow. I drove from the west end of Ottawa to try this place out and I was not disappoint. The food was 10/10 as was the service and friendliness. I had the bacon cheese-dog with poutine and a drink for $13.50. I d pay a lot more for the same food; and have paid a lot more for lesser food elsewhere. Highly recommend.
