Review Summary

Chez Monique is frequently praised for its delicious poutine, tasty specialty items like the bouche trou, and exceptional, friendly customer service. While many patrons enjoy the generous portions and high quality of the food, experiences can be inconsistent, with some reviews noting issues regarding fry texture, order accuracy, and the atmosphere. The location is appreciated as a convenient spot for takeout or outdoor dining, though some visitors have expressed frustration over pricing, cleanliness, and unpredictable operating hours. Despite mixed opinions on certain menu items, the overall reputation of this classic establishment remains strong among those seeking a traditional, fast-paced casual meal.

Honest opinion. The food is just ok. It's nothing to call home about my wife & I found it mediocre at best. Not very flavourful we felt it was bland. The service at the cash was super friendly but after that while u wait there's no interaction & the waite is very long. We waited for 20 minutes & when asked the young man for mayo & ketchup he was not smiling or friendly about it.

pout pout POOOOUT!! Everyone can make poutine but not everyone can make poutine like Chez Monique. Not only is it generous & reasonably priced (19$ for a family sized) but it tastes TRÈS BON! As comparison: I love the fat fries & tangy sauce of Décarie Hot Dog's poutine. One of my all time FAV...but I have to say that the one I had at Chez Monique tonight, although a tad sweater, is MUCH better. The potatoes are amazing! Especially if you like the brown fat fries nortorious in QC. Hefty amount of fresh cheese. Great thick & savoury sauce. A beautiful mess! They use fresh ingredients (i.e. no frozen fries nor ground meat) & you can taste it. It's definitely worth the trek to try this squeak squeak delight. You won't regret it. The Italian poutine is good but the regular original is just that much better. If you have to choose, take regular. If you have 2 stomachs like me. Try the 2. Burgers are good. Gobbled up in no time! Michigan has a generous amount of meat sauce. Did not order their signature bun "bouche trou" but maybe next time: hot dog bun with ground beef douzed with piutine sauce. Might be cheese in there too. I have to admit 6$ is a bit steep. If you order a combo: check if it is cheaper to order each item separately. I think that some combo prices don't add up. There are plenty of seating space with picnic tables but the little sparrows have clearly been hand-fed. They will fly right up your face or plate to try to peck at your food. So do not eat there if Hitchcock scares you or birds on your table or your face bothers you even a little. Take out instead. Special shout out to the couple who run this place. Hard working & lovely couple who are clearly proud of their food.

Super picky with Poutine. Fries are awesome, smaller than most Fast-Food places so gravy doesnt get absorbed. Lots of cheese. Everything is fresh & hot. Gravy is good. Add a bit of salt & everything is perfect. Try the Bouche Trou. One of the best thing on their menu.

Still the very best Poutine. Perfect ratio of cheese, fries & sauce. The burgers are delicious as well.

Fries were raw inside, mushy outside, everything was mixed up in the bag.

Absolutely wonderful! The staff & owner were incredibly friendly, helpful, & hospitable - the owner even wrote down recommendations for things to do in the area. The food was fresh, hot, inexpensive & tasty - it’s made daily & ingredients are locally sourced. Try the poutine!
