The poutine is really good. Like in the good old days with fresh potatoes with the peel, sqeeky cheese and not too salty sauce.

Went here a couple days ago on a Saturday evening. We got 2 steamies, 2 toasties and 2 guedilles. Everything was very tasty and classic. The steamies were really good were generously topped although the buns were stuck to the paper wrappers. The toasties were crispy and generously topped as well. They weren't oily at all. The guedilles were actually quite nice, light and enjoyable. We'll definitely stop here again next time we're passing by.

Great classic poutine, wait time at lunch was unacceptable though. There was a line-up but not a big one, perhaps 5-6 people in front of me, it took 33 minutes from the time I walked in, to walk out with my food. I then realized my lunch break was over and had to eat in the car. Petit Québec down the road also has a great poutine and line ups are way bigger yet the wait time at petit Quebec is never more than 3-4 minutes (which is what to be expected at a poutine place).

Stopped here for a poutine. They give you the option of adding extra cheese curds for $1, which is nice (never seen that before). The fries are great but I feel like the sauce is missing a little something. Very friendly service.

Mr. Potato Head s potatoes are really good! Crispy and tasty fries (I would like to know their secret), very far from the big soft and greasy fries that we have in so many snack bars. The rest is classic and well executed. Reasonable prices.

Nice place, the food is good quality. The fries are delicious, the little thing that catches the eye is the slow service and the prices a little too high. Otherwise, easy to access with ample free parking at the front and outdoor space for indoor dining.

my father took me there when I was young, and today when I want a really good canteen that s where I take my children! The best cheeze ever and I always steal the cheese from my husbands poutine! You create the atmosphere with the people who accompany you to eat your potato! So if you find that there is not a nice atmosphere if I were you I would change friends Enjoy your food!

I discovered M Patate at 5 years old in 1977 I now go there once every 3-4 years since I have been in Montreal. It tastes like memory. It tastes like a good franquette. Homemade fries, thinner than other snacks, a succulent sauce and just enough cheese... the hot dogs arent bad either!

July 23, 2024

Very slow service, tasteless food Flat and dry hamburger. Flavorless fries and poutine. Very disappointing.

★★
Local Guide
July 23, 2024

Steamed hotdogs at $2.75 are incredibly expensive. There is hardly any cheese in their poutine and the sauce is not very good. The service is excruciatingly slow... I have the impression that this restaurant only survives because it has been established for several years.

My boyfriend and I ordered for our first time. My boyfriend had hot dogs with cabbage. The cabbage was not marinated and there was a flour crust on its buns. My hot dogs were good. I also had a poutine; no taste. I had to add a lot of salt. The sauce tasted nothing and neither did the fries. We are very disappointed. We wont do it again.

May 23, 2024

I rarely comment on the internet but this time I had no choice. First experience for me and my partner. As it s always full in the summer, we said to ourselves that this little canteen was a safe bet First mistake! The service is incredibly slow and the staff are zero welcoming. We ordered 4 hot dogs, a fries and a poutine for $35. I think its very expensive to pay for junk food but I told myself that the taste must surely be worth it... Second mistake! I had to have the equivalent of a whole onion in my hot dogs, cut into huge pieces. There is no sauce in the poutine and it tastes absolutely nothing. The cheese is not fresh and it melts in the poutine. They looked like little cubes of reused cheddar. I ate because I was starving but in other circumstances I would have thrown everything in the trash. In short, it s a big no and a huge disappointment. I dont recommend it to anyone.

The cheese in the poutine is not fresh, it was all melted 5 minutes after receiving my order. The sauce is pretty forgettable, very diluted. On the other hand, the fries are absolutely delicious!!! So I have to give a 3 because of the quality of the fries

I was always told to stop at M. Potatos when I had the chance because it was really on the mark. So while passing through Varennes, we stopped for dinner in the afternoon. There were few people. Waiting 30 minutes to receive the order is really long, VERY slow and Im disappointed because according to the reviews I expected better food. Steamed hot dog: ordinary taste, nothing more. A ton of onion that I thought was in it for coleslaw. By the way, the onion cut is exactly the same as the coleslaw...which I also hated. Poutine: good portion, soft fries, especially the sauce is tasteless and in very small quantity. I never add salt to my plate but this time I had to add some so that it tasted something other than potato. Liqueur in fountain: Doesnt taste like water unlike other restaurants . Does not offer ice so does not stay cold for long. I will not return to this place, it is expensive for what you get. 1x number 2: 2 steamed hot dogs, 1 poutine, 1 fountain drink $18. That said, its not worth the detour, nothing beats the ultra-popular restaurant in Longueuil for price, quality and taste!

With 4 employees I waited 35 minutes before receiving my food. Organization needs to be reviewed, it s completely not productive. Instead of ordering outside we gather a bunch of people inside to order and receive our order. Regular poutine is actually a mini size. The poutine is okay and the hot dogs are very good. The size of the meatballs in the burgers is ridiculous. With a normal burger at home I could make 5 burgers at Monsieur Potatos! Prices are inflated. First and last visit unfortunately.

Should be called Mr. Hot Dog because thats what was best. The little poutine had barely 2-3 tablespoons of cheese, thats when I understood why we are asked for extra cheese when ordering, its ultimately to have a normal regular portion in the end. with an increased price. Its true that the fries are homemade (not frozen) but they had lots of black spots (my mother-in-law calls them potatoes with eyes) at home when I cook I remove these pieces... its is not good. And what about the sauce, there was almost none. Honestly I was very disappointed, very poor value for money, I wont go back there again.
