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.
Poutine tasted amazing. Great portion of curds & sauce & potatoes are delicious. Only down side is that they only take cash & have am ATM to withdraw money with silly fees.

La poutine est excellente & généreuse. Le smoke meat est couper à votre goût. la serveuse est souriante & les cuisiniers super sympathique & sociable. Un très bon fast food & reputé depuis des années.
Alfa is one of Quebecs pillars of poutine. Top three in my book. They only accept cash, but there is an ATM. Their poutine is a cheese lovers dream, their sauce has a pinch of paprika, & if you like hotdogs they serve steamed ones which in my humble opinion are the best.
J'ai bien aimé les hot-dogs steamés mais la poutine était malheureusement beaucoup trop grasse. De plus, j'aurais aimé de pouvoir payer par carte...au moins par débit. :( Ils acceptent seulement argent comptant. Bon service en général :)
Seule raison je donne pas 5 c'est qu'on peux pas payer paypass ou interac sinon la poutine est malade le staff travail fort! Je vais là depuis 20 ans & plus

Dropped by while in the area. This place has that old school casse croute feel & they're so fast! I ordered a smoked meat poutineand 3 hotdogs & by the time I paid & walked to the pickup area, it was ready. The hot dog was good & for 1.60 each it was great! The poutine had a generous amount of squeaky cheese curds & smoked meat & the gravy was very well balanced. My only gripe was that the fries are a little bit sweet. My personal preference is for fries to not be sweet in a poutine but overall the poutine was very good. Taking it on the road was a little bit hard because everything was straight lava for about 20 mins but that's because everything is fresh out of the fryer. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely come back
La seule raison de 4 & non 5 étoiles : ils ne prennent que du cash. Il y a un ATM dedans....leur portion e est la seule que mon mari a aimé depuis qu'il en essaue. Généreuse & très bonne,on y trouve assurément son compte. Service rapide.Bravo!!!
Endroit sympathique sans prétention. Les prix sont bien, la portion de la grande poutine est gigantesque (bon pour 2). La poutine est bonne mais les frites trempaient dans la soupe de sauce BBQ qui me rappel pas mal celle de St-Hubert. Beaucoup de fromage & bonnes frites. Je suggère une canette de boisson gazeuse au lieu de la fontaine puisque nos boisson étaient flate.
Sans doute la meilleure poutine traditionnelle avec hot dog savoureux & tous les délices habituels d'une "cantine" des 70 dernières années au Québec. Attention: on n'accepte que l'argent comptant.
