Reviews of Chez Gérard Patates Frites describe a busy, casual spot known for poutine and fries, with generous portions and toppings such as an Italian-inspired sauce. The fries are praised for crispiness and the poutine is often considered among the best in the area, with steamies and burgers also getting positive notes. Pricing is a common point of contention, as some find it pricey for fast food while others feel the value matches the portions. Service is usually fast and friendly when not overwhelmed, though some reviews cite slower service at busy times. Cleanliness is generally good, though one incident raised concerns, and indoor and outdoor seating along with ample parking add to a practical experience. Overall, it comes across as a dependable go-to for casual fare and notable poutines.
Je suis cliente depuis très longtemps, j'aime encourager local, j'aime arrêter juste prendre une petite bouchée, mais là 17$ pour un hot dog écrasé & une poutine steak haché & moins de choix de boissons qu'avant... malheureusement ce sera ma dernière fois. Dommage car le service est bon mais là.. On a pas d'argent de trop ces jours ci 🤷🏼?♀?

Ordered a plain poutine & a simple cheeseburger with bacon, came out to 24.00$ . Quite pricey for simple fastfood. Way overpriced compared to other fastfood joints. Also overheard a lady ordering a poutine with extra cheese & extra sauce, not sure if it was a medium or a large but overheard the client gasp when she was told her total was 33.00$ for a poutine. You can hear the shock in her voice. Dont care what size it was, how can you justify charging 33.00$ for
Fries & gravy & a handful of cheesecurds. But what really turned me off was while i was standing at the counter waiting for my order, there were three young ladies standing there talking to each other & as one of The young ladies moved around her leg knocked over a stack of lid covers for the poutine bowls & about 8-10 plastic lid covers fell on the dirty ground & all three young ladies noticed it, & just like that, the young lady bent down & picked up the lids off the dirty floor & stacked them back together & put them back at the bottom of the metal table & put dirty lids back on top of the clean lids like it was a regular thing & they just kept talking. I regret not saying anything but i just wasn't in the mood to make a scene that day. & since my poutine was not ordered for take out i figured my poutine will not have a lid on it so i let it go. Well surprise surprise, when they handed me my tray of food , my poutine was covered with a lid. So i never ate the poutine, it went straight to the trash. That was my first & definitely my last time there. If they can do something so unsanitary like that, i can just imagine what else has been done by these young & unprofessional employees.Management has to have a serious talk to they're employees about health & sanitary issues.
It was my first time visiting this place. The restaurant itself is very tiny but well maintained & clean. Staff working was friendly & helpful. Unfortunately the food was not that 😕 good.
(Had ordered hot dogs, cheeseburger & the steak&bacon poutine ).
Waouh, waouh, waouh, waouh, triple waouh. J'ai vécu une superbe expérience au Gérard-Patate-Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. La poutine extravagante & les portions généreuses se sont fait sentir sur toutes mes papilles gustatives & même papilles Gustavo, que puis-je dire, avec la gastronomie qu'on retrouve au Gérard-Patate. Je viens toujours là après une dure journée & en recherche de bonnes patates & de bonnes poutines. Je recommande à tous de venir ici au Gérard-Patate-Saint-Joseph-du-Lac car c'est le meilleur Gérard-Patate-Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience & ce service à la clientèle, Gérard-Patate. À bientôt, Gérard-Patate, & bonjour aux auditeurs.
It's a very busy place. You can order inside & outside. Reasonable wait times. The hot dogs tasted pretty good. The poutine was chefs kiss & the plain fries were cooked to perfection!
