Alfa is widely praised as a poutine powerhouse on the south shore and beyond, with poutine described as extremely cheesy, generous with cheese curds, and accompanied by fries that are crispy on the outside and tender inside, and sauces ranging from classic to BBQ and Italian that add depth; steamies and smoked meat sandwiches receive equally high marks, and the overall menu is noted for solid value and big portions that can stand as a meal on their own. Service is repeatedly described as fast, friendly, and efficient, with staff and cooks delivering consistent quality in a convivial, classic casse-croute setting, and the atmosphere is often described as clean and welcoming even when busy. A few caveats include occasional crowding, parking challenges, and a historical cash only policy that some reviewers mention, though updates show card payments are now often accepted. The restaurant is considered a staple, frequently called the best poutine in the region or province by many, with customers returning regularly for poutine, hot dogs, subs, and smoked meat.
C' est notre fastfood préféré ☺? depuis notre adolescence, nous fréquentons le Alfa pour ces meilleure s poutines. En réalité, tout est excellent & il est rare que nous apprécions les poutines d'ailleurs. Le service est rapide , ultra rapide & courtois.
Leur poutine est incroyable! Énormément de fromage & de bonnes patates frites! Sauce BBQ classique & le tout à un prix très abordable. Cash only en passant alors amenez du blé sinon y a un guichet de voleur 😂 (ATM)
Definitement une des meilleures poutines du Mtl/rive sud , généreuse portion de fromage qui goûtait vraiment vraiment bon, parfaite quantité & qualité de sauce . Absolument délicieuse . Recommandé 100%
Had hurd that their poutine was one of the best out there, & it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, huge portions & the prices very reasonable. The service was quick & efficient. It is worth a try!

Leur poutine vaut le détour. Peut importe ce que certains disent, leur poutine est imbattable..
Le service rapide. Mais le seul hic, n accepte que du cash Il y a un guichet automatique à l entrée mais les frais de service sont énormes....
Soyez aviser....apportez que de l argent.
Ne soyez pas presser, c est un endroit très achalandé peut importe l heure. Mais le service est courtois, rapide & les cooks drôle & sympa.
Les portions très généreuses & autant de fromage que de frites. J en ai pour un autre repas
$12 for a small poutine but the size is indeed plentiful! Cheese does the squish squish too! First time there & staff is very nice. Had about 2-3 people before me, total time was probably 5-6mins to get my food which was fast:)
Went for the poutine & wasn't disappointed! We got the classic & the smoked meat poutine. The squeaky cheese was the highlight! The gravy was excellent, but a lil salty. Definitely recommend this if you are looking for a classic old school poutine.
Sans aucun doute la meilleure poutine de toute la Rive-Sud. Excellents service & accueil. Le hamburger au fromage est un régal (gros, savoureux & pas cher)
Beaucoup de stationnement à l'arrière, peu d'attente.
Je déménage bientôt & quitte Longueuil, & de loin, Alpha est l'établissement qui va le plus me manquer !
