The funnel cake and deep fried apple pie were absolutely delicious. The owner made them especially awesome and also cut us a great deal because they were out of the regular sized funnel cakes. We've been a few times and they're always really nice.

Owners and staff are absolutely lovely. The jerk chicken poutine is truly the best chicken I’ve ever had. They smoke it on-site. It’s honey jerk so it’s for everyone’s palette. Cannot recommend enough. Just great people, great food, great vibes.

Our first time here and so glad we tried the food! We ordered the jerk chicken poutine (Yah Mon Fries) and it was AMAZING!! The flavours, seasoning, crispy fries and gravy were delicious!! The jerk chicken was so flavourful and juicy! The portion was very generous! Staff was very friendly and welcoming! Would highly recommend!!

Been coming here for years and it never ever disappoints...until today. I went for my usual poutine only to be told the gravy was still cooking. But then Dwight gave me a sample of his Ya Mon Fries and LAWDAMERCY!! I think I have a new fave! Like I said, never disappoints. This is exactly why I love coming here even if it means driving from the heart of Scarborough. Will definitely be coming back again soon and so should YOU.

Awesome French fries and sausages. Guy running the spot is a vibe, good mood and music, checking what people want while waiting in line to get ahead or the orders so that the wait time isn’t long. Well run and great quality.

Our local chip truck never disappoints! We have been coming here for years and have tried many of their menu options. The wings and fries are delicious.. the jerk poutine is amazing! Tonight we tried the ‘yeah mon fries’ (jerk fries)… also delicious. The staff is always friendly, despite how busy they are. Dwight, the owner, is often at the truck and always takes time to chat with us and interact with our kids. We look forward to many more meals here!

This food truck is amazing, food is priced well and although they don’t have much seating I had no trouble finding a nice place to sit. If you can find my review for The Sailing restaurant I made an hour ago, you’ll realize why I walked across the street to this food truck thinking I was just going to find some food to make my hunger go away, but what I ended up finding was very unexpected. I tried the hotdogs, chicken and fries, and jerk chicken poutine and each one was better than the last. I definitely recommend this food truck for anyone visiting the area or even for locals.

12/10 in all aspects especially for customer service at this place, big fan of the Newfie Poutine and will be back for more!! Also a super chill spot to grab a bite before or after taking a walk along the lake/marina Short story: I called in to see if they still sell their Newfie poutine because the first time I had it was like 2 years ago. The guy on the phone went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get my food as I was so badly craving it. He promised and he delivered.

The new owner is nice but please pay some attention of sourcing fresh ingredients. Its stale and greasy fried stuff. The fries are soggy and tastes like cardboard. The gravy is from a packet. I dont think the owner knows how good food tastes. People have no other food options at the beach, so they are eating this stuff. But for how long ?Miss the previous owners food.

Best real jerk chicken poutine Ive had in the GTA. I live in markham and make the drive down just for the jerk chicken poutine. It sells out fast for a very good reason. Dwight has the best customer service. I would call to see if they have the jerk poutine, if they didnt Dwight would go out of his way to make sure I get a batch later that day. Where else do you see customer service on that level. Yes Im a real custome and yes what Im saying is true. Dont believe me? Thats fine! More jerk chicken poutine for me! Thanks Dwight keep it up brother! And please keep the jerk chicken poutine on the menu or open a location in Markham.

Honest review if I could give 0 I would. Not sure if owner or management has changed. I ordered a poutine it was disgusting the gravy was horrible and runny. The price was also really high for the portion you yet. You can get better in the area for cheaper. As foe the customer service it seems these guys choose who they wanna be friendly or nice with. So unprofessional.

Best chips in Durham! My family decided to take an impulsive trip to the Pickering waterfront & we are so glad we did! We got to meet the owner of The Beach Chip Truck and we were greeted with positive vibes, friendly staff, delicious food and an excellent experience. We already have plans to go back with friends.

Mom and I decided to go to the waterfront for a walk and stopped by this chip truck, Mom and Dad used to go there every so often! We had a Newfie poutine and the man working there (possibly the owner) filled up our plate so nice and was so kind! He had a smile on his face the whole time and even came to check on us, asking if we were enjoying the poutine. The food was fresh and tasty. Later we circled back for some ice cream and he literally offered Mom a free ice cream cone so she wouldn t feel left out haha. Best customer service I ve had in a while he truly made our day!! Also, the vanilla soft serve Mom had was sooo good. Definitely recommend this spot and the atmosphere is beautiful such a great place!

Pretty good food for beach food! It s located conveniently across the beach parking lot. Service is friendly and pretty quick. The honey wings are really flavourful - I tried the honey flavour but there was still a bit of spice. The fries are quite dark and not sure if the oil is dirty or it s just been fried for too long. They also play pretty good music

So happy summer time is coming and my favourite chip truck is opening! Passing by on the beach yesterday, I was hoping they were open, unfortunately they were just testing the fryers out getting ready for the season, but were generous to offer us some samples! The owners are extremely friendly and customer oriented. Amazing food! Definitely try the jerk fries, they re unreal.

The Beach Chip Truck had the best wings I have had from anywhere. The homemade honey jerk sauce was on point! The jerk fries were nice and crispy and the flavours of the mayo, sriracha, and jerk seasoning went so well together. The service was great too! The staff are very polite and charming. Make sure you tip them! The gazebo was a nice shady place to eat and they kept it clean. Overall, 10/10!

What can I say? If you love the famous chip trucks around Ottawa and Montreal, this will make you homesick. And a bonus is that it is at the foot of Liverpool Road, at a wonderful park area on the north shore of Lake Ontario! Win-win! The original owners were a couple from Montréal. The new owners have kept the awesome Poutine recipe intact. They also have awesome sausage on a bun configurations. A range of sodas (pop,if youre from the North), a cozy seating area and youre having the awesome Poutine Truck experience. Highly recommended.

Food was delish. Newfie Poutine, Jerk anything, and the italian sausage were all great. Who puts stuffing on poutine? These guys, and it was genius. Only thing was, when we went, there was only 1 guy working trying to cook for and serve 30 people. And between ordering and getting our food was a good 25min. But will definitely be back here. It was a nice place to end a 1hr bike ride.

I ordered fries because they didnt have much in the way of veg options. The fries were just ok and a very small portion for $8.50. The big thing was that the 2 men inside the truck forgot about my order and when I went to see what was going on they stood there arguing about whos fault it was instead of getting me my food.

Great place to come after the Marina. The food is really good. They make there own sauces too you can tell. Had good music, great vibes. We had the BBQ chicken wings the sauce was really good not tooo sweet for a BBQ sauce just the right amount. There jerk fries are amazing, all the flavors come together, perfect amount of spice, saltiness and a good crisp to the fries. The Mac and Cheese Bites are really really really good, I m a big fan of Macaroni so it being deep fried, yummy! For desert they have deep fried cheese cake, the crust it has from being deep fried is out of this World, my wife loved it!!!!! Her words not mine lol. Great place to go. Go check it out, you won t be disappointed

Went here for the first time tonight. The people running the place are very friendly. The fries were cooked perfectly.

Went on a cool August Sunday evening and got some poutine. The Chip Truck has a novel vibe with little games and signs around to keep kids and adult entertained while eating some great food. Got the Newfie Poutine (poutine with stuffing) and my son, the Canadian Poutine (with Canadian bacon). Both were excellent. The large size is worth the few dollars more. Those working inside the truck are friendly too. Worth a visit, especially if you crave fries. One note, they take cash only - keep in mind it is a food truck and that is generally expected.
