Health department should visit. Place is very dirty! Staff too busy sitting down to bother cleaning the place? Really a good thing I am not the employer!

I love this place! We traveled from Vancouver, and after eating here, we realized we had never actually tasted real poutine before. I was worried it might be too heavy, but wow — it was absolutely delicious. I should have asked for her name, but the staff member who helped us was incredibly kind. She recommended the poutine, explained how to eat it properly, and even told us about the different types of cheese. We learned so many things we would never have known if we hadn’t visited this place. Next time, I definitely want to try other dishes too. Highly recommend!

Our first place to visit after arriving at our hotel last week. The poutines were just so so believe it or not (Cochon Dingue are smaller, but taste better). Also, the "nachos" were not tortilla chips, and that's not clear in the menu. Also, service was slow and staff wasn't super friendly.

It is the best poutine restaurant. The real potato fries are fried to perfection. The gravy tastes so good. Too many other restaurants fry the fries too brown. My favorite is Philly beef and cheese poutine. If you have a big appetite, then get the mega size. You get a really satisfying meal. The cosmo rosě drink is great. The service is fast and wonderful. We will come back here again.

Not a very good experience at this poutineville. The poutine here was very heavy , the flavor was lacking and the meal itself came out at room temperature and cold as stone. I'm assuming our orders were sitting on the counter for a long time before coming out to us. The meal itself was very heavy, it made me feel crappy. That's probably why I won't visit this location again in the near future. The food overall was expensive, 20$ for a regular poutine, I expected to get more with this meal. I had the Mexican style poutine which came with lots of toppings. It looked nice and had a generous amount of toppings. Im sure if the base poutine was delicious, the meal would have been worth it. The service here was okay, the server was attentive.

Took out food to go on a late Saturday night. Looked busy still for 8:45pm. We were greeted well, got our order in, and was out the door 20 minutes later. Ordered their deluxe burger with fries, classic poutine, and a kids burger with fries. Food was good and decently priced. Would recommend if you're looking for well-priced eats.

I wish I could give this place zero stars , it’s awful for a takeout ! The waiter just ignored our order and got it completely wrong , the food was horrendous !! We threw it straight in the trash , absolutely disgraceful . We waited so long for a waste of money takeout - very annoying after a long day of exploring . I honestly don’t know how this has more stars , it’s so bad . This is not a child friendly option (toddlers and below) unless you don’t care about what they eat ! Really the worst food and even worse service .

I was on a group trip here in Quebec, and one day me and a group of friends decided to come here for lunch, it wasn’t busy at all, however many from our group came here which is why it was packed. I understand this location is understaffed, however it is no reason to give terrible service and lie to us. We waited 30 minutes to have our order taken, and as a group we needed to be at a place by 1:10pm (we arrived at about 12pm). We were getting iffy about whether or not we would be getting our food on time, and other people from our group tried to leave, to get food somewhere else, and quicker. However our server PROMISED we would get our food on time and we could eat. We order after awhile getting more nervous by the minute however our server reassured us we would have time to eat, and it came to 1pm. We still did not receive our food and it was about a 7 minutes walk to the place we needed to go to, my group and I were panicking, and when we finally received our money, we needed to quickly pay with cash and run to the spot we needed to be at. We were very late and I am very disappointed. I had gotten a poutine and no fork to go, it was raining and I had no time to eat, and the water got in my to go container so I threw it out. My food was 33$ in total which went to the trash and I went my day with lunch, and to mention, my friend didn’t even get what she ordered, but it was too late when we realized. With the service I had gotten at this location, I will remember to never come back, as I don’t even think I should’ve payed for this.

We arrived while the place was empty and didnt have our order taken for at least 30 minutes. We got our food after about an hour after having to ask the waiter where it was. On top of that, my friend was given the wrong poutine, aswell as my other buddy who got cheese put on her burger (we had mentioned she CANNOT eat cheese) the waiter was also rude, as she continuously made snide comments. I do not recommend.

One of the best and most unique poutines I’ve ever tried! The food was so good, we ended up coming back two days in a row. The server was super helpful with our choices and recommended the burger poutine. I tried the 911 poutine, but it turned out to be a bit too spicy for me (oops). Thankfully, they were incredibly kind and offered to switch it to a regular poutine sauce, which I really appreciated, my stomach definitely thanks them! On the second day, we tried the mac poutine, another burger, and a hot dog. Everything was really good overall, though the hot dog was a bit dry. Service was also very fast, with barely any wait time for our food. Overall, such a great experience. Thank you, we’ll definitely be back!

It's the Ville de Poutine, definitely! With so many options to choose from, you don't know what to expect, but it's sure to be a tasty one. So generous and delicious, with great service. You must go on your next stop in Québec.

We chose this place because of the high ratings and tried the poutine, but it wasn’t to our taste. It took about an hour to prepare the food, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy.

Had a great experience at Poutineville. The French poutine was delicious and very filling and exactly what I was hoping to try in Quebec. The interior vibe is a bit dull but the food definitely makes up for it.

We got a nice quiet table in the back, no line and fairly empty for 6:30 on a Saturday which was nice. There are an overwhelming number of menu options, but we got the phili cheese poutine and chicken fingers with salad. I was very happy with the chicken fingers and salad, it had cheese and lots of diced tomatoes, with onions, red pepper and regular lettuce not the cheap iceberg kind. The chicken fingers were crispy with lots of batter, just perfect to go with the salad. They came with BBQ sauce, the good dark kind, not the runny pale stuff. The poutine was okay, lots of onions but not as much meat. The diet coke was small and kind of flat. The service was great, and the food came out quick. I heard it gets much busier later at night though. I would go back for sure.
