Food was alright. I got a burger which was very obviously frozen (or just low quality), but it was passable. My biggest problem is that these guys only take cash. It's 2022, what kind of place doesn't take debit/credit?

Great little 'cantine' style fast food. The poutine is good! Beware they are cash only.

Really enjoyed their classic poutine. Lots of fresh squeaky curd cheese at a great price. Get a large and it's perfect for two. Worth the backroad drive from Montreal to visit.

Great little place to have a great homemade hamburger with "real" meat, crispy french fries with gravy or a poutine and hot dog .Friendly cooking team. We ate on a outside picnic table because of Covid19 we were not allowed to eat inside yet. But everything seemed pretty clean. Free Parking lot.

I have fun writing my appreciation of canteens and restaurants regarding poutines. Therefore, I only talk about poutine. As of today, for me in St-Jean sur Richelieu, I consider it the best. Ive eaten poutine at eight places in St-Jean and so far, its the one I liked the most

This was a first at this canteen. I heard about them for a long time from a friend and I finally stopped by with a little craving! The staff is friendly, smiling, welcoming and there were three of them taking and preparing the orders, so fast service. The food selection was good The prices are also very reasonable The only downside is that they only accept cash, which is surely a disadvantage if we stop going without cash... but hey, once we know we make do with it and plan for it.
