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.
My go to for some of the best smash burger in town, easy, fast & cheap, good beer to match it with. Fries & poutine were really tasty & crispy. Wasn't busy when we went but service was fast & efficient. All in all an easy place if you're craving a burger & some fries.
Had a pleasant dining experience here! The staff was lovely & accommodated me on any queries i had with the menu considering this was my first meal after landing here, thank you very much! My first poutine here & it's remained on the top of my list for the best so far!!

Stopped here during a visit to the city on a very quiet Saturday evening. We were the only people in the restaurant ... Then, my burger arrived fairly cold but my friend's poutine seemed okay.
Place is okay, food is good. They do NOT have grilled cheese, but well, it's Google fault, not their. Probably they used to have it. Not anymore. Overall, good & affordable.

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.
Fries were cold, gravy was lukewarm, so the curds didn't even soften. Very disappointing. The lemonade cocktail was okay, the redeeming factor was the service.
Absolutely loved my visit to Frite Alors! The poutine was the perfect blend of crispy fries, rich gravy, & cheese curds-comfort food at its finest. The la baguette marquez sandwich was equally impressive, with fresh ingredients & an incredible crunch. Our server Marlon was exceptional, providing attentive & friendly service that made our experience even better. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious food & great service! 5 stars all the way!
Bon je ne comprends pas la note. Frites ok sans plus mais disons que pour Montréal ça va. Mais alors les burgers, je suis perdu. Taille du burger qui est dans les prix les plus hauts aussi grand qu'un simple cheeseburger macdo. Cuisson du boeuf bien trop cuit & pauvre en goût malgré les ingrédients. Très déçu par rapport au prix qui est loin d'être low cost. Mettons ça sur sa localisation. Je ne recommande pas.
