      First of all service was great and quick, friendly with no feelings of awkwardness. Area is lively hole in the wall, anyone saying this is a rough neighborhood hasn't been to a rough neighborhood.

      I'm from the northeast US and am visiting Canada for the first time, wanted to try poutine. The price was cheap and the serving was extremely large.

      As someone trying for the first time, I feel like this was a good experience. The food was HOT which I liked. Fries were good, gravy was actually very tasty and it was a unique combo. I will say after eating half of it I was over it. It was definitely best when the fries were crispy and not soaked. But this being my only experience with the dish, I'm expecting this is common. Overall good experience shoutout Delaware

      I had the classic to be true to the dish. I think I would have liked more toppings. I would try the Philly next time.

      I ordered the basic poutine but fried extra crispy. Gravy has a bit of spice to it. The fries has an almost a curly fries coating.

      Service friendly and accommodating.

      Ambiance is its a hole in a wall. You eat and order on the sidewalk. When it gets late at night it caters to a lot of drinking individuals. I would feel like grasping my purse every 5 minutes if i came here at night. Minus one star bc its in a tough neighborhood. But tastes sooo much better than costco poutine.

      Great prices, amazing poutine, and a good selection.

      The fries are really good, which is crucial for poutine.

      I would definitely go here again.

      Let me start off by saying I am not from Canada and have no knowledge prior of poutine, so take my review with that in mind.

      I was visiting Vancouver for the first time and really wanted to try Poutine and found this place on Yelp. The shop is small no dine in just a little counter to eat your food. It's no frills but it sure was yummy! The service was quick and the interaction was short. Nothing bad to say.

      If you're a first timer I think it's a great place to dive into poutine!

      It was my go to spot for some warm poutine after a night of drinking. They are located on Granville street, right where all the bars and clubs are. It is a grab and go spot, don't have seating area.

      Recently I took a friend of mine who was visiting Canada for the first time to make her try poutine and I couldn't have picked a better place. I kept it simple and just got their classic poutine but holy moly it was so good!! I don't know what they do to make it so delicious. The fries were super crispy yet thick, there was enough gravy on everything so that it perfectly melted the cheese. For some reason, their gravy does not make the fries soggy.

      The service was also very fast, we got our order in about 5-10mins after placing the order. If you are ever in downtown craving poutine, this is the place to go!

      This is just a walk-up window. I would have rated it higher had there been a place to sit and eat outside. The poutine was hot, with lots of cheese and gravy. The lady at the window was VERY nice.

      Got the Philly cheesesteak poutine. The toppings are good but the fries could be better. They get mushy and are not appetizing to eat after a few bites.

      They have any area where you can eat/stand. They provide one form and you have to pay 25 cents for another.

      Service is fast.

      The fries were soggy and gross. We had to throw them out but the vegetarian gravy was good.

      Mean Poutine definitely living up to their name by hiring the unfriendliest employee ever. Wow.

      Came by on 4/21 630pm and the female employee was wiping the glass. Ok, hi. I'll just look over the menu and take pictures since she's really focused on wiping the glass. Still wiping.

      Still wiping. Still ignoring me.

      I'm contemplating about walking away but then she finally asks what I wanted to order (no greeting/no expression on her face -a bit unnerving but fine. I just want a BBQ poutine with extra crispy fries/$12

      I asked if I could have extra ranch, she said .50cents. No thank you.

      Handed my box and it's heavy. Take my pictures and dig in.

      No wonder it's heavy -mostly fries ! Barely 6 pieces of the tiniest curds. Meager sprinkling of bacon pieces and almost cold pulled pork -ew.

      The unfriendliest interaction with the most unappetizing poutine. No wonder locals just kept walking by without a second glance.

      Also 25 cents extra for extra fork and another 25 for a bag

      Unforgettable in the worst way.
