A. is seen as a gem for late night cravings, delivering reliable quality, hearty favorites, and a memorable, friendly experience.
Really wanted to like the place because a buddy swear by it. Had the cheeseburger & poutine. The cheeseburger was huge which was great & tasty, but it tasted like the patty maybe have been frozen. The poutine's fries were undercooked & the plate had a little layer of grease at the bottom. It was as if the fries hadn't dripped off enough. The sauce wasn't great either. The service was really great though. Very quick & kind. The place wasn't great inside. With a few minor changes this institution could be great (again?).
Restaurant is dirty. Salt, vinegar bottles really sticky. Burger was ok. Cooked well. Poutine was awful. Sauce had zero taste. Fries were blah. Cheese was good. For 2 people it cost $35. Definitely not worth it.
Tried to charge us $2 for "sharing" food on a large poutine. Assumed we were doing so without asking even though we bought other food as well & fought us for the refund. Incredibly rude as a practice & discourages groups from coming in at all.
Service rapide, le cheese burger était vraiment très bon pour le prix. La poutine était un peu trop salée à mon goût mais elle était tout de même réconfortante. Vraiment bon rapport qualité prix
L'un des rares restaurants qui ferment après minuit. On se retrouve dans un perle de snackbar traditionnel qui refuse de changer. Portions copieuses, une poutine aux frites fraiches & croustillantes dans une sauce pleine de gelatine qui ne les détrempent pas faite par les mains expertes d'André, le patron vieux routier. Une institution dans le coin!

La poutine n'était pas bonne. L'idée de la poutine AA (oignon, poivron, champignon, pepperoni & steak) a du potentiel, mais la sauce brune était mauvaise. Vraiment dommage.
