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.
Took the kids here on a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks ago & honestly it was one of those rare spots where everyone at the table was happy. The poutine was the real deal, thick gravy & squeaky curds, exactly what you want after a morning of running around the city. Staff were super friendly & patient with my two little ones who kept changing their minds about dipping sauces. We were in & out in under an hour without feeling rushed, which is basically the dream when you have kids in tow.

It took about a good 10 minutes before someone came to take our order, & there were only 3 other customers in the restaurant. Afterward, it was almost 20 minutes to get our order because, apparently, the machine did not spit out our order. The smash burger with bacon was really greasing. The fries were crispy, & the Frites, Alors sauce was spicy. I was curious about this restaurant, & I'm no longer curious. I'm not sure I'll come back.
Tourist trap - avoid at all costs!!! A $60 dollar meal netted us: 1. A small poutine with a spicy sauce & the smallest curds you've ever seen. 2. A smash burger that was tiny & a weird tasting sauce. 3. Three tiny chicken nuggets & some fries. Value for money was so atrocious both in portion sizes & taste that I feel no self-respecting Quebecer would eat here. As a tourist I fell for it but you don't have to!!
This place has a very local vibe & was conveniently near our stay. My partner & I shared a burger on our way to the terminal, & it was fantastic! The hamburger was incredibly delicious, & the fries were home-style, fried to perfection. Their secret sauce really took the taste to the next level.
Best one compared to other locations. I have noticed they have been changing menus & sauces alot but so far i love it. Their burgers got so much better! Hope they bring the curry sauce.

What a treat! Amazing fries, great sauces, lovely poutine & wonderful service. The owner & his son were kind & accommodating with us! Must try if in the area🤩🫶🏾
As a visitor to Montreal, we wanted to try poutine in different parts of the city & this location was recommended, The setup & Decorations Design of this place are pretty cool, & their friendly staff was helpful you can choose different dishes poutine which is loaded with cheese & generous gravy Plus caramelized onion & beef or any other ingredients. You can order the different sauces on the side but the sizes are a little small.
Tout simplement la meilleure poutine de chaîne de restaurant que j'ai mangé. Les frites font la poutine ici, non seulement l'odeur intoxicante des frites se sent depuis la rue, mais le mariage avec la sauce & le fromage de qualité font de celle poutine simple un régal sans égal dans sa catégorie. Ça vaut le prix un peu plus dispendieux!
Bon restaurant mais les burgers ne sont pas incroyable pour le prix, mauvais pain, peu de sauce & un papier qui prend l’humidité du burger & qui s’effrite avec la nourriture
