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.
kind of affordable & it's pretty good. I always get the poutine for myself or two hotdogs for my partner. I highly recommend those. The employees are welcoming, except for the lady working there, she's often very dry & unapologetic. however, i really love eating after a long day at uni at night, the atmosphere is different
Mon Décarie Hot Dogs tu me manques, 😢 Client régulier depuis la fin des années 70, les fois où j'ai habité ailleurs, dès que je revenais à Montréal je passait me chercher 2 steamer & une frite souvent même, dès mon arrivée. Que dire de Nic qui m'as toujours reconnu malgré les milliers de clients qu'ils servaient... Retraité & vivant en Thaïlande 🇹🇭, tu me manques plus que toute autre gastronomie incluant mes smoked meat.
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
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!
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.
