Décarie Hot Dog is widely described as an iconic, nostalgia-filled Montreal staple for classic steamies, hot dogs, fries and poutine, a retro spot that many visitors feel is worth the trek for the experience and comfort food. Several reviews praise the poutine for its rich gravy, cheese curds and hearty fries, with some calling it the best or among the best in the city. However, other comments note decline in recent years, with poutine that is too dry or oversalted, sauces that changed, and items that are not as hot or fresh as before. The hot dogs and steamies often remain a highlight when served hot and dressed properly, but some visits report cold buns or underdressed orders. Cash only payments and a fast, no-frills service style contribute to the old-school atmosphere, which reviewers either love for its authenticity or view as a drawback. Overall, the place is described as a beloved, long-standing institution that inspires strong loyalty and nostalgia, while also provoking debates about consistency and whether it can recapture its former level.
Been going here since 2001 & still go here from time to time for their 2 steamies all dressed, fries & drink! Introduced it to my wife & she loves it as well!
As a student, this place is my go-to. It's affordable, the portions are very genereous . & they are so friendly & thoughtful. The food there are very fresh . The only con is they only accept cash or orders via doordash or uber . Other than that, i totally recommend.
Have not been there for a while, used to go after school when lived in ville saint laurent, sat at 1am had great food & the owner is always great company,

Been eating there since 1987. 1st time ever, I've had stale oil french fries. The rest of the food was quite ok... Burgers & hotdogs. Regarding the service... It keeps degrading unfortunately... As though the staff was sitting on golden laurels. There is barely any customer-staff interaction. I'm starting to be disillusioned by this *used to be* burger Shack. Sorry staff... Please interact with your customers instead of just laughing between staff members. We feel as though we are NOT part of the experience. Thanks for listening. Perhaps I can restore a 5 star rating.
Une valeur sûre depuis plusieurs décennies. Contrairement à la fois précédente, mes frites & hotdogs étaient revenus à la hauteur de mes attentes. Merci & bonne continuation.
