Whether you’re a poutine aficionado or a curious newcomer, this is a place you’ll want to return to time and time again.

The star of the menu, of course, is the poutine—fries generously topped with gooey cheese curds and rich gravy.

A delicious meal is worth the wait, and Kay suggests that for the freshest poutine experience, picking up your order is the way to go, rather than opting for delivery.

the chili dog poutine was the best thing i have ever eaten. 10/10 would eat there, you get so much of it. The fries are nice and crispy.

One of the chili cheese dogs I've ever eaten, ordered twice so far, first time the hot dog presentation looked great, second time not so much... the bun was completely separated but the flavor was just as good.

I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always good and in this day and age, prices are what they are and I believe the portions are more than fair. The only thing I don't recommend is delivery just due to the length of time deliveries take anywhere. I prefer to pick up for a fresher pouting experience.
