Review Summary

Décarie Hot Dog stands as a historic and beloved Montreal institution, cherished by generations for its nostalgic charm and classic fast-food staples. Many patrons frequent this cozy, vintage spot for their iconic steamies, crispy fries, and hearty, generous portions that offer great value. The staff is widely regarded as friendly and welcoming, creating an environment that feels like home for regulars who have been visiting for decades. While the establishment enjoys a strong reputation for consistency and a warm atmosphere, some feedback points to occasional inconsistencies in food quality, particularly regarding the poutine sauce, which some find overly peppery or not to their taste, and intermittent issues with service speed or payment methods. Despite these mixed remarks, the majority of visitors view it as a must-visit local treasure that captures the authentic spirit of a traditional snack bar.

This place has gone downhill-it once had the city's best hotdogs & poutine, but it's been overtaken. Not sure what's happened. Poutine gravy watery & fries a bit off, hotdogs just ok. Ordered a club sandwich & noticed a quarter missing -it had obviously fallen off the plate because only the bottom piece of bread with some chicken remained. When I pointed that out the server counted them with her finger & then asked whether I'd eaten it...when I insisted that I hadn't she got me another quarter, to her credit.

Food is average, It used to be bumping up in here, but now we have a cold atmosphere, don't expect to sit here, standing usually, & the food ain't even cheap like it used to be. For the atmosphere provided you should be getting the food for a deal. I asked to put paprika to the poutine after I ordered & I got attitude back, that's why service is a 2 sta

Like other decades old community/city/local establishments, Decarie Hot dog has been serving audiences of every background possible from age to ethnicity to wealth to education. - almost everyone has heard of this place or eaten there as an institution bar none. The old Montreal pool room is a competitor but geographically they are so far apart they don't really compete, however I believe that the atmosphere & food quality is far superior. This had been a family owned & run business that feels like a family environment from day one. Its owners Nick & his son (Kawasaki) Tommy have delighted its patrons in a warm, friendly & inviting manner with humour & great conversation - it's like the bar Cheers on TV equivalent. Must eats, of course, the Montreal steamed hot dog & the Montreal classic way is mustard & coleslaw. Fries are fantastic & fresh cut & twice fried & of course poutine is amazing as it's the burger & other items including breakfasts. So go & have an affordable but & get to know the staff as they are excellent human beings.

I miss this place! When I use to live In St. Lo, I'd come here quite often. I came here for the first time in the summer of 1998. It was the place to go when I only had change in my pockets. Best fries I ever had to this day & the hot dogs with coleslaw...mmm.

Tiny place, hardly any seats, tiny counter for dine-in customers. A true throw-back with old school charm of a Montreal classic. Best steamie hot dogs. A mainstay of Ville Saint-Laurent.
