Overall, reviews describe Frite Alors! as a casual, spacious spot with a local, relaxed vibe and solid seating options where poutine, smash burgers, burgers, and sides are the main draw. Poutine is consistently praised, with generous toppings and flavorful cheese, and several versions including Montréalaise style are mentioned; the fries are generally crispy, and portions are described as satisfying though a few comments note small portions for certain poutines. The smash burgers are a standout, and the menu is seen as reliable with reasonable prices, a good beer and cider selection, and quick or friendly service in many visits. Attentive and professional staff appear in most reviews, though a few mention slower service or longer wait times, particularly during busy periods or for takeout. The atmosphere ranges from calm midafternoon visits to lively evenings with a pedestrian street setting and outdoor seating, and the place is described as a good option for a Montreal style casual meal that patrons would return for when in the area.
Poutine correcte, pas beaucoup d'attente quand j'y suis allé mais le stationnement est difficile a trouvé dans la rue. Je ne ferais pas le tour de la ville en auto pour aller manger la mes si vous passé à pied ou à vélo ces parfait.
J'aurais aimé commenter… mais je n'ai jamais été servi. C'est après 50 minutes d'attente pour deux burgers avec poutine que ma conjointe & moi avons quitté, pour se rendre à la salle de spectacle située à deux pas.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi un samedi soir, alors que le restaurant est en bonne partie occupé par des gens qui assisteront au spectacle, le personnel ne prend-il pas la peine de gérer les commandes en fonction de ceux & celles qui ont un impératif de quitter à une heure fixe.
J'ai demandé deux fois si la commande arrivait finalement, & on m'a répondu deux fois « dans 10 minutes »… & ce à 20 minutes d'intervalle…
Ceci dit, la serveuse était sympathique.
The space is quite spacious with plenty of seating. It wasn't too loud, & the place has a very local, laid back feel. I went in the early afternoon on a weekday, so it wasn't busy at all. It felt calm, quiet, & comfortable.
The menu includes poutine, smash burgers, burgers, & a few side dishes. I ordered the sausage poutine. It was really good & came with a generous amount of sausage. The food arrived quickly, about 5 minutes after ordering.
There was one male server working the floor. He was friendly, attentive, & very efficient. He moved constantly, stayed flexible, & paid attention to every table. Very professional overall.
Definitely worth trying. I would come back if I am in the area again.
We visited from Alberta, wanted delicious poutine while in Montreal, & were not disappointed with our experience. In fact, my friend who had not yet experienced a poutine which she enjoyed, really enjoyed it! I was delighted that she finally could understand my enjoyment of poutine. Both the poutine & the side salad that we shared were delicious! Would highly recommend this place!
Non si può andare in Canada senza assaggiare il poutine, sorta di miscuglio di patate fritte, formaggio e salsa. Può essere molto pesante. Non avevo consigli di persone del luogo, tra i posti dove l'ho assaggiato questo era il migliore decisamente. Il fatto che la clientela sia locale prevalentemente la dice lunga...
Poutine de format'régulier', 17$ avant taxes & c'est à peine plus gros qu'une canette de liqueur. J'ai l'impression de m'être fait voler pour le format.
C'était tout de même bon, mais c'est la première & dernière fois que je met les pieds là. 22$ pour un échantillon de poutine & une canette de liqueur c'est vraiment pas donner.

The cheese they put on the poutine is fantastic, but unfortunately there just wasn't enough of it. If you get any poutine other than the one that comes with double the cheese, I'd ask for extra cheese (can't remember if that's an option when you order online though). The fries are ok, not quite as good as the cheese but not terrible either. The gravy though is where things took a turn for the worst. It just wasn't that good in my opinion. Mine also had the pulled pork on it, which was fine & a decent serving.
If they can fix the gravy & add extra cheese it would push their poutines to 5 star.
Service was fine, but this is a takeout order placed online. There was an issue with the order not being ready when I came to pick it up, even though we were late to pick it up due to traffic. They claimed there was some issue with the tickets not printing, & thankfully I didn't have to wait very long (about 10 min). Not sure if that's a common occurrence or just a one off.
The food was amazing. Love a good Montreal Poutine. I got the small Tex Mex, the server had such a positive attitude that made the experience so much better. The small poutine was the perfect amount of food to keep you full & not overly bloated. Will definitely come back
