Review Summary

Chez Gérard is widely celebrated for serving exceptional poutine and classic fast food staples like chicken pitas, burgers, and hot dogs in a nostalgic, retro-themed atmosphere. Many patrons describe the food as a local standout, often highlighting the quality of the ingredients and the consistent taste that keeps customers coming back for years. However, the experience can be inconsistent, with varying reports regarding the friendliness and professionalism of the service staff. The restaurant operates on a cash-only basis, which some visitors find inconvenient, though an ATM is available on-site for those who require it. While the space is frequently praised for its cleanliness and charming decor, guest satisfaction appears to depend heavily on the mood and attentiveness of the employees during their visit.

Dont get me wrong, when you want amazing poutine, burgers n dogs this place absolutely slaps.
Cash only with a shady ATM in 2026 when you clearly accept card payments as it is possible to order delivery through 3rd party apps?

Thanks, but no thanks.

Propriétaire désagréable! Dire à mon fils de donner les condiments du burger d'un coup car c'est plus efficace! Nous étions les 2 seuls clients à ce moment. Je demande 2 cups de ketchup & me faire répondre comment ça 2? Tu vas mettre ça dans la poutine? Il me dit en plus monsieur vous être très difficile! Je me suis vraiment retenu car j'aurais été vraiment bête avec lui aussi! Ça se peut qu'on y retourne car leurs poutines sont bonnes mais je vais pas me gêner d'y répondre s'il recommence!

Tried this Chez Girard for the first time & really was not impressed with the food. We had a Hamburger & two Steamed hot dogs & a fries. I am pretty sure the hamburger was previously frozen, & that's why only a two star for the food, the burger's texture was strange. The bun totally flattened out when held. The hot dogs were ok but other spots are much better. Small portion of fries which were so so. The service was fast but not pleasant. The gentleman behind the counter was very unfriendly, that's why only 2 stars for service. The restaurant is very clean & bright, with a 60's vibe. Very comfortable.

One of my favorite spot for a burger in laval, service is a bit rough & moody at times, but once you get used to it, once you understand & it's almost cute... Fries are very good too... ( in my top 20 & I would not describe them as saggy as mentioned here before) The place look stucked in time & has its charm too. It is worth the detour if you are in laval
