Great service & food. Went here for breakfast with friends visiting from out of town. They loved the experience & the poutine they got with bacon, sausage was great.

Food was better than what you'd get from la belle province. Nice retro vibe. Staff is nice. I'd go again. Would be even better if they offered fancy milkshakes
Bel endroit tout du moins pour l'ambiance , sentiment d'appartenance au St Henri, ce restaurant est un inratable du quartier .
Seulement voilà , très malade juste apres y avoir mangé !! Bien dommage, hot dog 6,55$ & milkshake 6$50 ont eu raison de moi !
Si on s attarde sur les assiettes , le hot dog est servi avec une portion de frites ( les miennes avaient clairement pris de l'âge & n'étaient pas bonnes ) il pourrait être mieux rangé dans le plat .
La poutine enfant avait aussi des vieilles frites & un fond de sauce un peu noir.
La sauce des spaghettis du menu enfant n'est pas faite maison alors qu'on y sert des pizzas à la base de sauce tomate.
Par contre l'assiette soulvaky était fraîche & bonne 23$.
En résumé peu d'effort sur les petites assiettes mais il y en a sur les grandes .
Clairement un problème de fraîcheur dans mon repas.
& c est désolant de sentir ce laisse aller car si le coeur y était ça serait un restaurant bon marché où se retrouver très souvent , avec une ambiance d'antan & un super service à table !
We had hot dogs, pepperoni poutine, smoked meat sandwich & a sub sandwich.
The sub sandwich took forever forever forever to come - the waitress apologized twice for the delay - so I wouldn't recommend ordering - it's just a big smoked meat sandwich anyway.
The smoke meat sandwich is deceptively small - the bread is like a fig leaf on the meat. Eat one for lunch & you don't need dinner. The meat was delicious & tender. Recommend.
The pepperoini poutine was really good. Very generous portions.
A Montreal institution!
We go for poutine, steamies (steamed hot dog, if you were wondering) & other greasy food because let's face it, sometimes, that is all you want & all that matters.
Generous poutine with gravely hot gravy, thick brown fries accompanied with cheese curds that makes you squeek over for more. Lots of variety for toppings. Our fav: anything sausage & ground beef.
Love their steamy. Comes hot & moist but sausage is still firm & not in a wet bun.
Steamie fun fact:
'All dressed' = mustard, relish, onions, coleslaw (no ketchup!)
Real sh this place absolutely slaps! They have a super grande selection de poutine - I went with the pork sausage one. C'etais pas mal bon & the price was hella cheap as well! The food was served like ridiculously quick which was sweet, & the atmosphere is kindof an old dinner type place - nothing pretentious just the good stuff :)
My daughter lives in Montreal & I am from Ontario. We have breakfast here every time I am in town! I just love it! The food is great, the staff are lovely & it is such a welcoming atmosphere! I can't wait to visit again!
Bonne bouffe, le jus frais est délicieux, prix très raisonnables mais les banquettes sont passées date & trop petites pour les adultes. Ils gagneraient vraiment à les remplacer par du mobilier plus ergonomique.
