Décarie Hot Dog est décrit comme une véritable institution de Montréal, un lieu nostalgique où hot dogs vapeur, frites et poutine, servis dans une atmosphère simple et conviviale, font le bonheur de nombreuses visites. Les avis mettent en avant des portions généreuses et des saveurs fortes et réconfortantes qui rappellent l'enfance, mais signalent aussi des baisses de qualité récemment: poutines manquant de sauce et de croquant, hot dogs parfois froids ou mal garnis, et un service qui peut sembler peu enthousiaste. Le tout est aussi accompagné de critiques sur le fait que le restaurant soit uniquement en espèces et que l'expérience varie selon l'instant, certains disant que c'était meilleur autrefois et d'autres garantissant que certaines commandes restent solides. Malgré ces aléas, le lieu demeure une référence pour les amateurs de poutine et de hot dogs à Montréal, un endroit où l'on peut encore trouver une version authentique et abordable du plat phare du quartier, et où la tradition et l'accueil chaleureux des employés sont régulièrement salués.
It's the classic Decarue hot dog that I've loved all the way since I was a kid. Still cash only & the steamés are The classic luster perfection. Get them all dressed as they have to be made, get some fries & you've got nostalgic perfection. Every time I'm in Montreal, I make it a point to stop by there. Even if it's way out of the way & I have to fight through the expressway. Still worth it.
Even though I quite enjoyed the flavours of the fries, I feel like it was lacking a bit of crunch to them. The hot dog was a bit disappointing in size for around 2.50$ but it ended up being pretty good. I had it all dressed & I really enjoyed the overall flavour profile of it. The poutine was also quite interesting in flavours, it varied from the usual plain brown sauce which was enjoyable. The portion was pretty hefty for around 10$ they charge for it. The service was pretty unenthusiastic. Everyone seemed to be a bit grumpy & unhappy when I walked into the restaurant. The counter waitress even gave out a sigh before serving me. However, they were working quite efficiently. By the time I had paid for the food, the order was already almost completed. The last thing that bothered me during my visit was that their card machine was down. There were so many more items I wanted to try out but I couldn't because I only had a limited amount of cash on me.

Only cash, the poutine tasted like water... absolutely no flavor, it was a pain to finish it.... I went at 11pm so be careful maybe it was only the person working
UPADTE: I bought a frozen poutine for 3.99 at Provigo & it was better
UPDATE 2 YEARS LATER: Poutinr still taste really bad, hotdogs are good tho.
Just another greasy spoon from an antiquated era. Workers are soulless & apathetic for the most part, one guy was okay. Food was meh, hot dogs & fries are definitely the move. Don't do yourself the disservice of getting the poutine, the gravy's just used engine oil & the cheese curds are not authentic. Oh, speaking of antiquated, they only take cash in an area of no banks & sketchy atms with exorbitant fees. This place is definitely a drunk eats place ONLY!
This spot is goated as one of the OG greats. It has been around forever with a consistent flavour & atmosphere for as long as I can remember. This place may not look fancy, but the food is fantastic. Something about their poutine sauce you just cant find anywhere else.
It is cash only, they have an atm. There is parking around but sometimes it is paid, unless you get lucky. My trick is to park at the shopping plaza on the main road & walk over. You can sit down & eat if your solo, but I recommend take out & go sit somewhere outside & enjoy since it is busy & can get crowded. Not the most accessible space, so remember that. But totally worth visiting!
The food is always great, fresh & made right in front of you for a reasonable price.
They also feed a lot of the houseless & I think that is also so telling of how the resto has evolved to meet the needs of its demographic.
Fantastic spot! Make sure you go try.
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.
Would honestly say, its just like home! Supper delicious home made style street food; the people are very nice. Its mainly take out & cash only (but they have ATM in-house) prices are extremely good! We had, cheese burger, hot dog & chicken sandwich & all were very good!
