268 Rue Richelieu, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC J3B 6X8, Canada
Classic hot dogs, burgers & poutines are served at this dive bar–influenced casual dining joint.
Good but over done burger and nothing to write home about. Also needs a cleaning crew. Very dirty place with smears on the walls and dirt on the floors.
Did not like that their was half a dozen bees buzzing around us inside. Also several things were not available on the menu. However the burgers were huge and really good !
I enjoyed the good and the ambience, I just wish the AC worked.
Excellent food. The trio of poutines was exciting, innovative and priced really well. The service was great. There were a lot of people there, and still not only did we get our food fast, the waitress was super kind and told us about our options in English. That kindness really puts La Plank in the rare category of super friendly and solid good experiences.
Great little venue. Menu has a big selection of burgers, poutines, and mac'n'cheese options. Fries were a tad thin for my liking, but still tasty. Also a great bar lost, with some yummy cocktails! Service was really quick, portions generous, and prices reasonable.
Good burgers and poutines. We had the beef poutine and portobello veggie burger as well as their flagship burgers and they were all good. The fries are thin and crispy. The service was excellent. They accomodated us without a reservation when we agreed to wait 30 minutes. They took our number and called us when the table was freed. Good spot near the water front in center of town so we walked around and enjoyed ourselves while waiting.
We had burgers and they were ok. Patties were a little drier than we would have liked. I had the Escobar (shown on picture) but I didn't find it tasted much Chipotle or blue cheese. On the other hand, the fries and poutine were great. Many Sangria choices which mine (l'Ecarlate) was very good. I love the 1liter size. 😅 We waited a long time for our dishes but it seemed to be a busy evening with take-outs. We're willing to go this place again to try the poutines so hopefully service will be faster next time.
Nice burger joint in town. Very delicious veggie burger. The food was amazing. Part of my Ceasar crawl, this place offered something good. Love the rim rocks they chose. I would give it a 8.5 on 10 at least.
I really enjoyed my first visit with my youngest. Highlights: The food was very good. The service was courteous with a beautiful smile. Weak points: The music was a little too loud for my taste however, we couldnt hear ourselves talking and I found it dull because in my opinion a restaurant is a place for exchanges as well. It was also a shame that there was no vestibule because when the door opened, the cold came in and as we were next to the door, we froze. Last point coussi coussa, parking is not easy. But it s still a good experience nonetheless. thank you, I would go back
The poutine is incredible!!!! It s worth the detour
Badly received by the young girl who throws her hand at us saying by the...she turns around and continues talking to the guys sitting at the counter who are shouting and have heard that he...she forgets us and comes after 20 minutes to carry us our menu card....the table was not washed yet the restaurant was practically empty the food was ok...but very expensive for macaroni!!! the beer was excellent....the young girl never came back to see us...I had to go because we had a show and the time was approaching...and the guy was yelling again!!! with her...they were very unpleasant...(like atmosphere) 80 piastre two beers two macaroni and service.....food its not worth it....never again
I had the Bunker it was delicious! The waitress was also very attentive. The restaurant had a cool vibe The only little thing I didnt like was the fries for the poutine.
Jadoreeee nothing more to say except that its excellent
We went to this restaurant by chance. Honestly move on, youll find much better. Especially the pizzeria next door. We ordered two burgers, both were dry, with no real sauce. What can I say about the fries I have never had such bad fries. Their cooking oil must be very old so that the fries come out brown and taste burnt. A $70 bill later, honestly we would have been better off going to McDonald s which is even better than that.
AWFUL service... waitress seemed annoyed. Food was good.
just more informative yesterday being Saint Jean the nights the plank at a poutine kiosk a young girl brings back this poutine pcq she had asked for no mushrooms the waitress takes back the poutine that the girl has clearly eaten from the butcher and places it on the counter for 2 seconds to then try to pass it on to the other customers who luckily saw him and him. said the response from the girl at the checkout dsl I dont work here ok? but the basis of never returning an item that has been brought back may matter to do with your employees who clearly have no respect for the customer
You have to go there for poutine and a beer
Very poor service
Very good, courteous and very good service
Amazing service
Wow great service Saturday August 17, the lady was alone to do the service, we had been warned from the start, but she rocked it! Well done, don t give up!
A varied choice of burgers and they are excellent!
Food/drinks were A+ so we decided to stay and not go see a movie.
When I tell you that their burger is one of the best I ve ever tasted, I m not even exaggerating. Yes the place is a little small so its not often easy to get a place there but when its your turn to eat I tell you you wont even realize the waiting time after tasting their cuisine. Their staff is also very courteous and the atmosphere often remains lively.
I loved it, the atmosphere is great, warm, we were well served, fast, we were taken care of very well. The food was super good and they have a great selection of Quebec beers. If you like street food, poutines, hamburgers, I highly recommend it, its super good. Their terrace is passable, but the room is great Parking: Difficult to find, I recommend parking at the cinema and walking 200 meters, much easier.
Good food, good atmosphere, terrace at the front and back
Pictures make it look great but food service was very slow and food was not great either. Nice vibe and aesthetic in the bar.
Just missing a little spice for my taste in the meat but everything was almost perfect....
Really inexpensive for a nice big plate! Very good service and smiling employees!
After 2 visits The service: Slow... forgets ordered items... they dont come back to see if everything is ok... and I understand (the poor thing served everyone while the other danced with the manager... anyway ...) Cuisine: Good choice of menu, cooking is ok Atmosphere: Great atmosphere, too bad for the rest
Good beer and very good hamburger
Generous Portion Parking: Paid
The benches slide, a broken TV, the counter is sticky but 5 stars for the owner and his ecological vision because he stirs your glasses with his fingers! Kisses kisses
Who is he?
If there is a restaurant in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu to try it is La Plank. The food is 1000 times better than elsewhere for the same meal; plus they add an original touch to them. The sauces are original and succulent. Not only is the decor original, but David & Katarina, the owners, add a unique touch with their presence and excellent services. A must!!!
Deadly burgers. Everything is excellent from the mains to the sides. Masterfully blended flavours, great poutine. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff. This place is an absolute hit and a must visit. GREAT drinks too. Try the smoked old fashioned!
The pulled pork poutine is delicious!! Very relaxed pub atmosphere!
I dont go often enough! its excellent and every time the service is perfect... its a small place and its perfect! Im tall and fat, and Im able to sit anywhere.
Its worth the drive from Montreal
Delicious. Its true that the space is small, but that doesnt change the quality of the service or the food :)
Incredible experience! The owner David came to see us, he is very nice the waitress Laurence offered us excellent and fast service! I like the atmosphere and the music, it s warm and you feel at home! The meal lived up to our expectations
Excellent poutine and burger
Loved this little establishment! It is certainly not super large but has a great atmosphere! The mozzarella sticks and fried pickles left a little bit to be desired unfortunately, however the burgers and poutine were awesome! Would definitely stop again if we were ever in the area looking for a great burger or great poutine!
The poutines and hamburgers are delicious. Nice atmosphere. Limited space.
Very good fast food with very good drinks for a little evening with friends or children. Special mention for the poutine which is very good.
great food and service hands down.
Excellent restaurant
A cool restaurant with a great burgers and cocktails
PERFECT JUST PERFECT
Great for a boys dinner!
The poutines are crazy and the service impeccable.
Great burger! Vegetarian option available. Music is too loud Vegetarian options: Ask for soy burger Food : 5/5 |
Very good poutine and beer
Courteous and fast service, comforting food and good quality/price for less than $20 you can eat something that will satisfy your hunger. I ate the mac N cheese grilled cheese and it was so good, I had been waiting to eat it for a long time. To try! Plus the restaurant is super beautiful, with large windows that let in light. The music chosen is perfect too I recommend it for the fast service, good portions, not too expensive and GOOD.
Good service, music unnecessarily too loud. Carlsberg on tap, a must!
One word: Excellent!!!
Rushed by for a take-out order, a La Cachette poutine and a side of fries, all served in less than 10 minutes, for a total of $25 before tip, all enough to easily feed 2 people given the size Gigantic portions. Taste totally up to par as well, I highly recommend this restaurant both for the price, the speed of service as well as the flavor of the dishes.
Very good restaurant for a first experience it is very good and plentiful
Kid-friendliness: There is a childrens menu
Its long screeching
Very good service. Good atmosphere.
Good meal. Poutine sauce is similar to pepper sauce but its delicious. The waitress was sweet and really cute :).
Best calamari ever and great service
Fun spot with a back deck to eat outside. The servers are friendly and bilingual the spot is over looking the canal and a park. Burger was great and juicy, fries were ok. The Plank beer was refreshing on a hit day Food
The service was poor, the waitress demanded tip and the wait was over 45 minutes.... The food was lousy.
On the website it claimed that the Plank gave 15 minute waits maximum. However, during our visit to the restaurant, we had to wait 45 minutes, and the food was mediocre, the dishes were strangely mixed, Im talking about the Mac and cheese on hamburger bun. Moreover, the dishes were very dirty and the employees were very awkward. The cooks were wearing headphones and the kitchen was filthy. The waitress even asked us for a tip! Quite honestly, in my 41 years of life, one of the worst restaurant experiences Ive ever had.
Me and my family arrived from a long trip from Ohio State, and we decided to go eat at La Plank. When we arrived, it took 3-4 minutes for a waitress to finally seat us at a table. The table was messy, and there was eraser on my sons chair. It took 15 minutes before a waitress came to take our order, and when she arrived, another 15 minutes or so later, the order was wrong. Best served at Tims Hortons! Finally, when we had finished eating, no one came to clear the table for another ten minutes, and we had to ask for the bill ourselves. For a poutine, $15! I couldnt believe it. For such an exorbitant price, they give us terrible service and almost zero sanitation.
Great place to eat good Burgers
Always the best experience at La plank! The food is incredible and the menu super original. I always go with the delicious Cachette, a perfect mix between poutine and macncheese. The service is very pleasant, the waiters give good recommendations in case of indecision. 100% recommend the experience.
Excellent burger
Best Poutine I have ever eaten
It was delicious and very professional service.
Go to the outside terrace at the back, less noise. Excellent customer service from start to finish of our experience. Good food and beers,
Very nice place to eat poutine of all kinds with friends, very close to the Capitol cinema, great outing!
Excellent service. Perfect little bistro. The food was just perfect!
Perfect place for family/friends. Excellent and succulent poutines and burgers Fun and joyful music and atmosphere Very acceptable price for the quality of the food! Best restaurant in Old Saint-Jean
Good place to discover good food To be tested according to everyones tastes
I really like this restaurant. We eat well there.
The food is good but 1 hour for poutines is a very long time for a Sunday when you have no one bad service no one came to check on us at the table
The food was good. However, waiting 1 hour 20 minutes for poutines is excessive when the restaurant is quiet on a Sunday evening. Especially since as soon as I asked, everything finally started coming out of the kitchen. We realized that the cook was drinking and making shots instead of helping in the kitchen. The waitress totally ignored us. We couldnt hear each other talking because the music kept getting louder (at 6 p.m. on a Sunday evening) VERY disappointed. The people who arrived 30 minutes AFTER US were served BEFORE us.... Basically, we realized that, as we are not regulars, well they seem to forget us or not care much less about us . The flies, on the other hand, were numerous to come and greet us. Clearly the service deserved NO tip.
The waitresses were competent and very friendly, a pleasure!
Good big Burger varied menu local beer very friendly service Parking: Parking on street or a few steps away at municipal parking lot
Very small pub, perhaps the smallest I have seen in my life. Its a nice pub though. The food was exquisite, the toilets are very interesting with superhero comics everywhere and opening the water valves is quite an experience. The service was good but I ended up bringing my plate to the waitress myself. There you have to go pay at the counter when you are ready to leave, good to know I had to ask
Was underwhelmed by my buger (was overdone), and I had trouble hearing my fellow guest over the loud music. I probably wont return.
You are looking for poutine. Do not search anymore.
Good meal in a beautiful atmosphere conducive to celebration
We had the Caid burger and the buffalo chicken mac & cheese. The Caid burger (vegetarian) is by far the worst burger Ive eaten in my life, I didnt eat half in fact. On the other hand, the Mac & Cheese was delicious! Its a nice place and the service was ok, we recommend it but dont get the Caid burger ;)
Place was absolutely amazing
Great food and great service! I recommend!
Very good restaurant. Friendly atmosphere
Very good food and drinks, excellent service!
Very good meal and good cocktail... Thank you very much for the good service and the beautiful evening!
Very good meal and good atmosphere. Waitress listens. Well done
Very good!!! the portions are generous, average price, a place with an unparalleled atmosphere in St-Jean.
Very good burgers. I had the poutine burger and I love it. I highly recommend!
Just WOW! The staff is exceptional. The food is perfect! I had a challenge for my sons party and the employees did everything to help me! I recommend to everyone!
Great discovery. Funny mix in the specialties of the place. But pleasant surprise everything was good. Here we re thinking burger with onion rings. Hot dog with mac&cheese as ingredients. Several poutines (smoked meat, sausage meats etc.) Selection of beers more than adequate. Friendly and fast service.
Always a nice place to eat with family. Prices have remained faithful to pre-pandemic levels, and the plates have not shrunk! Its almost an achievement!
Amazing spot to chill and eat with friends. The local is really small (approximately 30-40 people would fit) so if you want to make sure to not wait for a long time, or to even have a table, I would suggest to book in advance. Celebrated my friends 19th birthday and it really fit the vibe. The desert for the birthday boy looked amazingggg (deep fried oreos). I will for sure come again. We took 2 kids meals (mac and cheese and a mini Burger with fries, they were really big portions for a kids size). We also took a mac and cheese, 2 burgers and a hot dog; all of the meals come with fries except for the mac and cheese. The drinks were AMAZINGGG (I took a pina colada and it was perfect! Tasted like Cuba) and the staff were really nice.
Service could be tuned up a bit, but pleasant. My burger was delicious!
Good service, varied menu and very good food
Burgers and poutines absolutely hit the spot for our hungry crew of cyclists on tour from Montreal
Very good but a little long!!!
Nice place to have a good meal. The kitchen is open on Sundays and the staff is really attentive.
Always perfect!
Great terrace, great food, employees were awesome. Going to be one of my go to places on weekends.
Parking: Parking payant à l arrière
Great atmosphere, service and food!
Fast and good
I paid a tip to get the bottom of a tray of Mac n cheese. It wasnt even half full. For a 30 minute queue at the street food festival it s very disappointing
Beautiful terrace, good poutine. Its perfect for eating on site.
Good burger of exemplary quality. Still so good.
Interesting choice of Quebec beer, quality fries and burger. Not much space but very warm
A little restaurant in downtown with cozy atmosphere.
Great service and delicious!!
Excellent services...well done to a young girl
Good food, average service
Great poutine and drinks. Burgers are a little dry, window sill was pretty dirty (lots of dust and dead flies).
service not very fast waiting time for the meal 1 hour low quality for the price
Great food, great team! I recommend just as much to come there to enjoy a good drink, good food or even to come and work with a great team!
I went there with my marathon runner friend!! He was exhausted, but the macaroni poutine got him back on track!! I think he would be good to run a second one hehe. Otherwise, excellent service from Alyssa who takes good care of us and recommends the dishes very well!! My compliments to the chefs!! I recommend !!
Really good hamberger and super friendly service!
Amazing ambiance, great menu with tasty idea! Poutine are orignal and great, the fried Oreo are my personal recommendation!
I ate a La Planque Hamburger with onion rings with a good microbrewery beer. I really liked my meal, it was super good
Great service but the taste was not there. Several dishes tried but...very bland.
Atmosphere and food always exceptional
Food was really good but they took quite a bit of time for my order when i ordered take out! Took about 40min for my order and the restaurant wasnt full, besides that the food was great.
Had on of the many varieties of mac& cheese...very good food.
Fun atmosphere! Great food, friendly service. Thank you. Celebrating sons graduation of basic training from military!
Really good burger! High-end canteen!
Everything is perfect, went there
Great place the staff is really my only regret is not having been there before
Very good food, nice little terrace, I recommend it!
Nasty good poutines!!!!
Amazing food and staff!!
Fabulous Macncheese poutine
We expected better
Impeccable food and service
Very good boof very good service very fair price only hick it was really very hot inside maybe thinking about putting fans on the ceiling could help ;)
Wow! Very good food and excellent service. The terrace is very pleasant.
Mac and cheese general tao super good
I really liked my first experience. The food is original, delicious and the dishes are good sizes. There are too many things to try but not enough room in your stomach! Ill have to go back! I recommend!
Delicious meal, we had the poutine labris and the buffalo chicken mac and cheese to take away. The quantities were good and the food excellent! The on-site service was very pleasant!
Honestly, if you are looking for a restaurant with a good environment and a creative, varied menu that tastes very good, then dont waste your time looking! The plank is worth a try.
Super good despite the street under construction
Good poutine
Good burger! Very good value for money. Good service.
I love this place!!!
Service is nice. Burgers are ok; a bit dry.
I ordered the buffalo macncheez. Ok I was very lukewarm when I arrived but given Im lazy and I was having it delivered I was ready to live with that, but it was by far the most disappointing macncheez Ive eaten in my life. I dont give 1 star but it wasnt bad... just meh It was very bland and without much flavor, the buffalo chicken was a little embarrassed to be called buffalo in my opinion... Ive already made kraft dinners that were tastier than what I ate. the portion was generous but so... a 45 foot dead baby loader is less pleasant than a civic filled with gold bars I tell you not to go there because they must necessarily do something good otherwise it would have been closed for a long time but you are not proud of the hype of the people who talk about it
