Ordered a regular poutine. Started eating it in my car at night. The first bite tasted weird, after opening the light in my car and spitting out what what is my mouth in the top cover. You can see a piece of bacon or pork was in it. Disgusting, no care for cross contamination.
THE BEST POUTINE! I grew up around Quebecois family and now that I live out of the country, when I get the opp to have poutine, I can only wish it is within La Belle Province, and especially from this little gem of a resto! The portions are immense, so either make sure you're super hungry or sharing with someone else. The fries are spot-on cooked to perfection, the gravy is just right (not too salty, not too liquidy) and of course the best part is the fresh squeaky cheese curds! And they are not shy about the amount the put in the portions. If you have never had a real poutine made with real squeaky cheese curds, then you're just plain missing out. We opted for the original creation, altho this location does offer alllllll kinds of poutine creations. My brother is a big guy (6'4") and a big eater, but he could barely finish his large order. He lives in Western Canada and stated that "they don't know what they're doing out there!" after eating this traditional Quebecoise poutine! I had a small and it was just right for my appetite. The eat-in space is small but cozy and not meant for a lengthy stay. The area is kept clean and tidy. Parking is okay, but can be sparse since the adjoined parking lot is small-ish. Good thing they offer drive-thru service, which our family use and prefer. Their feedback is that this mode of take away is always fast, friendly and delicious. Wheelchair accessible spaces. Bathroom is clean. Kudos to the VERY kind and VERY efficient team members who were working when we popped into the resto. They were willing to try their best at speaking English with my brother. He appreciated that! Merci! Thank you! This is the best of 4 poutine places we've tried in during our visits to Quebec, and it is ranked as number 1 in our experience!
Just not the same as it use to be. Way too salty and the staff just seems misérable. Cantine St-Odile much better and way nicer...also if you go through drive through check your back before leaving.
it was ok, the sauce is slightly to salty and the veggies werent that great . meat was decent. portions are small.. ( a medium is a small for example) I'm comparing with a bunch of poutine place from Montreal and Drummondville ... not worth a 5 star here , solid 3 ,
Popular place that you need to go to at least once. The french fry is really a gamble depending on the time you go, it's either good/fresh or they are soft/old Still overall 5/5
This was a wonderful surprise when we were at Rimouski. We were looking for a "midnight" snack and found this treasure of small shack restaurant. They've repurposed a little train station and made into a cozy little dinner. Too bad it's so far away from where we live. If you are in Rimouski, you have to stop there at least once. You won't regret it.
Best poutine I've had
Poutine is good but service can be slow. Not as generous as they once was.
Superb little canteen, excellent service and wow food! There is even a drive-thru! Impressive and tasty!
The real poutine
Very popular as a place.
Super friendly and attentive staff, I recommend it
Bits of overcooked fries, with a rosebeef burger that you are looking for rosebeef $20 much too expensive value for money
Sick.
Quickly done, good service
Purchase of two small regular poutines on October 11, 2024. The cooking of the fries is very ordinary, soft and unappetizing fries. The tasteless sauce. I wont go to this canteen anymore.
A canteen as we like them, fast, good and complete menu (for a canteen), interesting choice of poutine.
Its the best canteen in terms of customer service, cheap prices and generous portions, congratulations! Kid-friendliness: Families can eat but place its limited content of the space that occupies the restaurant
The best poutine in Riki!
The smoked meat poutine was excellent. The prices are very fair too, I would even say not expensive for the quality. (Thats an average, without extras). Ah, the staff is super nice and smiling too!
Still so good
The poutine is delicious and especially the giant hot dog poutine is a specialty
I ordered fries to take away, they were not good, they were overcooked. Very disappointed, I dont recommend it
dont be difficult...
The fries in my poutine probably came from poached potatoes. They had a lot of black stains and were overcooked.
Hamburger meal Barely a hint of sauce inside accompanied by overcooked fries, hard and good for the trash... Never had such bad bad fries.
Inside or outside or even at the drive-thru you can get your poutine, a very large selection as well as other canteen meals as well as clams.
Excellent poutine and the person at the counter was very nice, I recommend
unfortunately the quality, taste, service and opening hours are disappointing and no longer what they were. For me the station has lost its title as THE canteen of Rimouski.
The best poutines in eastern Quebec
The poutine is okay but nothing incredible. On the other hand, there are always motons in the sauce which is quite unpleasant especially for the king of poutine. Also, every time we order hot dogs, they get the condiments wrong. Really every time.
First time eating their food and definitely the last time. The waitress is not pleasant and this allows me to comment on the tip I leave. To order it there were 4 items including 1 burger and fries with sauce. The fries were served without sauce and I have never had a drier burger than this one. The portions are tiny in there and the food is not very good. I dont understand the positive reviews on it. The name Cantine is well chosen: A place where you come to eat out of necessity and without any pleasure.
Very good poutine, generous cheese and the fries are well cooked!!
The poutine is excellent, everything is good
Not really a good experience, reheat fries ++ and undercooked sausage, very slow service, in my giant hot dog, coleslaw thrown in without sauce in coleslaw, very dry no ketchup or relish appeine mustard so much I took all garnished, will never return again
First time I eat a steamed submarine. Soft moist bread, raw pepper and mushrooms, meat barely warm in the microwave. Its the first time and the last. Poutine sauce no taste. Not terrible at all..... Very pleasant service and Mr. Very simpati on the other hand....
Excellent service, Devoted and smiling lady. Very good poutine
Best poutine in town
Best poutine in Quebec (so in the world?)
Rude and not courteous employees. Small portions. Not very clean. We feel that the employees are exhausted LOL
Small station
My favorite canteen in Rimouski. Since my return to France, I particularly miss Déro poutine. The service is fast, the portions are very generous. I recommend
One of the best places for Poutine in Rimouski. The service is fast and courteous, the choices are VERY numerous and varied and the poutine is excellent. Good crispy fries, tasty sauce and generous meats. The portions are reasonable but very compacted in a small container, I preferred a larger container so that everything is not crushed but in general it is worth a visit
Great, a mess on your plate. How to resist it. My only downside is not being able to go there more often!
crunchy fries, squeeky cheese and served hot. Worth a try !
Lack of salt for the fries otherwise its good, its still a canteen. The hype of this place is not really justified.
Personally in Rimouski, it s the place to be. I admit, it s my spot
Inter cheese!! Excellent !
I love poutine, but Ive been there twice on Monday evening. It says on the door that it closes at 8 p.m., but the dining room is closed at 7:30 p.m. I would have given 3 stars, but since I like your poutine, Ill pass...
Very nice little canteen, with the possibility of eating on site. The dishes are copious and the service courteous. Parking: I could see two possible places on each side of the canteen! Wheelchair accessibility: An entrance has been provided on the front for easy access via a gentle slope!
Very good for cheap!! Fast service! but not many veggie options though Vegetarian options: Virtually absent
Prices are average
I went there 20 years ago during my studies and its still my place. We always come back to places that bring back memories... the food and service are always excellent!
The food is excellent, but its impossible to go there after 8 p.m. to order, even though the site says 10 p.m.
Its a shame to have to give 1 star for this restaurant knowing the quality of the products but the opening hours are misleading. Ending a shift at 8 p.m. for a fast-food chain is still sad
Close at 8 p.m. on a Saturday even though on Google they say 10 p.m. You should think about changing your hours. It doesnt make sense to close so early on a Saturday. Too bad, were going to go next door.
Very good poutine, very well filled
Excellent food and very reasonable prices, which says it all in 2023!
Poutine is sooooo good there
Find through the fries, cheese and sauce! Very ordinary, I almost choked on the cardboard
Very good Burger and poutine
Fast & efficient service. Poutine excellent!
Fried too dark and dont change the oil it tasted burnt
Galvaude with coleslaw is the best
Very good and above all not expensive at all.
Very good Thank you Fast service Nice welcome Swiss poutine recommendation good hamburger
The poutine was SICK. The atmosphere was good but the service a bit slow! But I really approve!
THE best poutine! Portions more than generous.
In my opinion, best Poutine in town. Excellent every time!
Poutine which does the job, but too salty. The fries were limp. OK for a craving, but not necessarily worth the detour in my opinion.
Unfortunately there is really a lack of cheese in your poutine
Very ordinary dry yero burger without taste fried hard
Small restaurant but the poutine is worth the detour.
Exemplary service, very generous portion but the poutine is very, very salty.
Slightly soft sandwich, delicious fries
So delicious. We go there at least once, every time we come home for a visit. We always have the same thing, because its so good!
Excellent Poutine!!!!
Best canteen in Rimouski Parking: Large parking space Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible ramp
Really very good poutine and good quantity!
Fast, inexpensive and super good
Very good Poutine well filled and very well garnished Lots of choice and very affordable prices
Very good poutines, very good service also for the times I went there. Their poutine dero is on point. I dont know if they still make their giant hotdog but I liked it too. Besides, I should go back soon.
The rally next door is better and the dishes are not recyclable. Remains a city classic!
Very good fast service!!!
Wowwww a return after 30 years and still as good!!@@@
Super good Poutine with homemade fries

The sauce for the poutine was too salty, it ruined everything.

There are giant hot dogs for people who have a good appetite and a large choice of menus you eat well and not expensive
Fries quite a bit worse than in the past Still certain cold? Even great experience. But not at 3am hahaha
Very good and fast service.
The reputation of its poutine brings us there and we come away not disappointed! Generous portions at a fair price, the fries are tasty, balanced sauce, not too salty and truly fresh cheese. We also appreciate the 5 outdoor tables, 4 of which are partially covered.
Great variety of poutines, very generous portions, welcoming service and a few shaded tables to enjoy them. A nice stop to recommend.
The best authentic poutine.
Alright
I recommend the poutine, A1 sauce!
Great food
Never disappointed!
Good
Not bad at all, generous portions, very reasonable price. Maybe a 5th star with homemade fries!
Good and not too expensive
The dero submarine and the original wow Slovak hot dog! Great discovery and yum the clam s fries! Poutine cheese is very delicious!!
Excellent poutine, very good service.
Always great!
Fast food. Picturesque. Nice welcome
Good service
You may need to update your prices and schedules On site on Google on site The 3 have different schedules and prices Then best poutine in Rimouski thank you but I doubt it
Great service, fast and with a smile too! Varied and original menu, especially on the poutine side.
I love this canteen. Always well served and it tastes good in your mouth!! And they have drive-thru ordering!! The only downside is that their drive-thru communication system is really outdated, its hard to understand what the person is saying.
Very good food
Its no longer the station canteen of the past the last 3 times dry fries full brown bad taste and the prices have gone up too much versus the quality which is decreasing
A very good address in Rimouski for eating on the go! Fast service and a good welcome. I chose the Déro burger and I wasn t wrong, it was perfect! Thank you and see you soon
Delicious
Waiting 20 minutes at the drive-thru when there are 3 cars in front to be told that they wont take our order because theyre going to close.. pretty ordinary
Very good canteen in Rimouski and excellent service.
Great service and the fries are extremely good.
Excellent western poutine! Very good, perfectly cooked fries. Finally a snack at a very affordable price and generous portions. Friendly staff. You have to go!
Always my first choice in Rimouski, excellent beef and friendly staff
Its been 10 years since weve been there and its still just as good and popular. Courteous and fast service, at the drive-thru or at the counter.
Its still good but it was better when it was Mr. Dionne who was the owner
Very good Burger.
Excellent poutine
It s a challenge, bring spare linens and ask for more paper towels.
Everything you ask for in a good poutine: inexpensive, with good fries, lots of sauce, and huge
My favorite is the western poutine with pepper sauce and the station burger too
Without a doubt the best canteen, super fast service at dinner time and the menu is very varied. The portions are generous and everything is tasty. I was pleasantly surprised, I highly recommend!
Noice Putin
A must in Rimouski. The dero submarine is great
When I pass through Rimouski I never fail to taste a dero submarine, a real delight.
One of the best Poutines you can find in Quebec!
Super good food
Always errors in orders and impossible to reach by phone, always busy!
Wow! I went to the other canteen. Its over. The orders were not prepared to my liking, the fries were not great, etc. Thank you and it s true that you are number 1.
Unbeatable value for money
