Generous portions. Reasonably priced. Quick polite service. I am dissapointed i didn't know about this place sooner. That poutine brought me back to high-school. 10/10 do recommend ill definitely be back. If youre from out of town. Stop over here & grab a poutine & a cheese burger or some hot dogs. 🔥
Food. Only had the steamy hot dog.
It was a classic steamed bun, but the coke slaw was crazy overly sweet & dominated the taste over the mustard & the dog. The dog itself had very little discernible flavour. Sadly I was looking to find a cool patate chien chaud place outside of La Bell & La Fleur, but unfortunately the dogs were not as good at $1.99 a dog it's on par for price it's jus not a tasty hot dog is all. They do make a home made fry but did t get a chance.
Service is nice & also prompt.
Atmosphere. Up front it's a take out but they do have seating in the back.
I had been yearning for a classic hot dog in Montreal style & was pleased to try this place. Everything seemed nice, placed smelled clean, looked clean & organized & well spoken team.
Food was made in like 30 seconds.
I'm sad to say that the hot dog itself is not a tasty variety. The wrapper says Schneider, not sure if this is the brand. I have had Schneider at Wilensky & they were to die for. This is meh, bland at best. Then you add the super sweet slaw & what seemed to be a minute amount of mustard & you have a pore Montreal steamy hot dog.
I am not saying that their other offerings are not good, I'm only referring the steamed hot dogs is all.
Go again. No, not for a hot dog but I would try a fry or poutine.
Inconspicuous hole in a wall that hides a real gem. Cash only spot for classic quebec cuisine. Burgers are good, hot dogs are always the best, & the cheese curds are always fresh.
It's a regular hot dog joint, nothing fancy.
The staff are hard-working & friendly
If you're looking for a simple place that serves simple hot dog & fries this is the place .
There is limited seating inside, again it's nothing fancy .
This place is far from glamorous or fancy, in fact it looks like a old converted house, but for what it is, it's perfect. The service was extremely quick, & bilingual, no complaints there. I got home & absolutely devoured two all dressed hot dogs, & honestly one of the best poutines I've had. This isn't haute-cuisine, but the fries, gravy & curds were perfect; just the right amount of greasy & delicious. A good poutine is almost one solid chunk, & this was right on that line. Definitely must try if you're in Montreal. All the flavors of Quebec fast food absolutely done right.
