These reviews present Décarie Hot Dog as a nostalgic Montreal staple known for its classic steamies, hot dogs, fries, and poutine, with many readers calling it the best or an iconic stop that keeps delivering comfort and memories for generations, even as some note a decline in sauce richness, crunch, and overall consistency in recent visits. While longtime fans celebrate its history and affordability, others mention occasional lapses in cleanliness, service mood, and the cash only policy, and a few ask for a return to the previous poutine sauce and classic texture. Overall, Décarie Hot Dog remains a beloved, imperfect institution that still draws people back for the signature steamies, hearty fries, and poutine, with nostalgia carrying more weight than novelty.

Had a chance to check this place out with one of my colleague & it was a great vibe. Ordered a couple hotdogs, fries & a burger. Food was great, but really came here to check out their story. Great people, good food & good prices. Definitely check them out.
It was the best of the best before It was bought sadly they changed the recipe for the poutine sauce. If anybody that works at Decarie hot dog sees this, please bring back the old sauce because this is the reason it was the best of the best restaurants for poutine in montreal
A true Montreal classic, hasn't changed in over 40 years (I used to go there in the 70s). Same food, same place, slightly higher prices, but that's to be expected.
Starting coming here as a kid in the 70's. Food, service were always fantastic! Today's visit was a complete disappointment. Hot dogs were good -can't really mess that up, but the poutine was nasty. Cold fries, a very thick & congealed gravy, & minimal cheese. The cheese didn't even melt. Definitely not the quality I was used to. These workers were definitely not the family owners. Sadly, I probably won't be back
Was my first time going there after a long day at work & service was super fast, very affordable. Was surprised my food cost me $29 for the amount I has. ( it was a lot & delicious) & as I was waiting i read their poster on the wall & was really touched by the one where we pay for a meal & people can come claim it. This is a business that care about people & the perfectionnism. Definitely gonna go back
I've been going here since 1995, & I went today after 30 years. & it still hasn't changed, & the people are still there family to family. it's wonderful to see the nostalgia & the unchanging business, but with the same quality food.
