Lasalle Drive-In is described as a lakeside staple with a casual family friendly vibe and a spacious seating area by the water, offering quick service and generous portions at reasonable prices. Reviewers note the menu covers the Quebec snack foods classics such as hot dogs, fries, burgers, poutine and subs, with club sandwich and house salad getting praise for balance and freshness. The location and atmosphere are praised for the scenic view and nostalgic feel, and service is often described as friendly and dependable. There are concerns about food quality and consistency, including burgers that are undercooked or greasy, fries that lack flavor, and occasional declines attributed to ownership or upkeep, as well as long wait times and cleanliness issues. Overall the impression is that Lasalle Drive-In is a beloved neighborhood spot with charm, but experiences vary and room for improvement remains in food quality and maintenance.
I've been coming to this location for years & it has always been a reliable spot in LaSalle. Ownership has changed a couple of times over the years (as many restaurants do), but the quality & service have stayed consistent, & everyone has always been polite & welcoming.
The menu covers all the Quebec casse-croûte classics hot dogs, fries, burgers, poutine & everything is always fresh & well-made. Their club sandwich is one of my favourites: thinly sliced white meat, well-prepared, & always cooked properly. Also, their house salad is surprisingly one of the best around super fresh with great dressing.
The restaurant is clean, the portions are generous, & the location is very convenient (right across from the police station). In the summertime, they even have a small ice cream window that you can access right from the bike path, which is such a nice touch for walkers & cyclists.
Overall, a consistent, friendly neighbourhood spot that never disappoints.

Je ne vais pas donner une note plus basse parce que cette place est une institution dans le quartier, donc par respect pour l'héritage, je laisse 3 étoiles.
L'établissement est vraiment situé dans un coin magnifique au bord de l'eau, accessible facilement par une des plus belles pistes cyclables (& promenades) de l'ile.
À part l'emplacement, ce restaurant est d'une médiocrité triste. La poutine est dégueulasse (extrêmement salée, fromage gratinée cheap, frites trop sèches). Tout est ordinaire comme nourriture ici. L'intérieur du resto est tout aussi sans âme, aucune particularité, aucune ambiance cozy.
L'extérieur est mal entretenu & sale. Beaucoup de papier par terre & de déchets, donc même l'emplacement emblématique est ruiné.
Le service est bien & les commandes sont souvent prises rapidement.
Le quartier mérite mieux, mais la place est suprenamment tout le temps occupée, donc ils ne vont absolument rien améliorer. Je leur ai donné plusieurs chances & ca suffit.
Excellent food, prepared fresh with fresh ingredients. Most memorable meal, among many greats from our time in Montreal.
The smoked meat sandwich was incredible & the poutine was the tastiest we had on our trip. (Significantly better than the highly rated tourist spot with 100s of flavors)
Walking it off in the area when you are done is also a pleasure.
The poutine at LaSalle Drive-In was just okay. The sauce was alright but could use a little kick. Unfortunately, they don't use cheese curds, just shredded cheese, which doesn't make sense for a poutine. If you don't order the sauce on the side, you end up with a soggy, soup-like mess.
I will say that the service received was spot on. They messed up my order & had it fixed pronto. Unfortunately, the food way sorely lacking. The burgers were fine, nothing to get excited over. The Michigan hotdogs had what clearly tasted like a "straight from the can" sauce. Don't even get me started on the "poutine" with grated cheese.
Bonne petite place pour le fast food, rapide, généreux pour les frites. Les gyros sont super bon. La poutine pas trop car c'est du fromage râpé. La pizza est correct, les sous-marins sont excellent. Les hotdogs aussi sont bien.
Bonne pizza, bon sous-marin, bonne salade & bonne poutine! Tout ce que j'ai essayé était bon! Je le recommande pour du bon "fast-food". Terrasse avec vue sur le bord de l'eau à Lasalle. Directement à côté de la piste cyclable & ils ont un comptoir à crème glacée :)
Juste à coté du fleuve St-Laurent & sur la piste cyclable. Très bien pour cycliste de prendre une pause dans ce restaurant. Offre de la nourriture comme pizza, hamburger, creme glacé, sous-marins, frites, poutine, spaghetti etc... La poutine est le plat que je recommande pour ce restaurant. Le service est assez rapide aussi.
