Super service comme d'habitude!!!! mais seigneur aucune idée ce qui passe par la tête au propriétaire de changer des recettes en switchant certains ingrédients pour plus cheap 🥲 la poutine sérieux le fromage n'es plus du squish-squish, c'est rendu tellement soyeux on dirais du faux-mage. C'était trop weird, je n'ai pas pu manger la poutine du tout
Je paye pour une pizza extra large on m'envoie clairement une large dans une boite de extra large (voir photo)..come on,au prix qu'on paye,c'est du vol. Sans parler de la qualité..
Pour ce qui est de la poutine,rempli de pelure ,littéralement des bouts de pelures tout sec,tellement désagréable comme textures, avec du vieux fromage tout fondue...on les as jeté après quelques bouchées.(voir photo)
Y'a eu un temps où c'était un de mes endroits favoris ou commander, mais ça fait plusieurs commande ou la qualité ce dégrade de plus en plus chaque fois. C'était la dernière chance & la dernière fois pour moi.
This is a classic dog spot. Nothing else can be said, but I will say more. The restaurant felt super nostalgic & rustic. It was clean & had a little bar in the back, which was interesting. The food was exactly what you'd expect. Fries were hand-cut & well-made; dogs were on point. Poutine looked good. The only reason it's getting a 4 is because we sat down when there were maybe four other people in the restaurant, & it took like 20-25 minutes for two hot dogs & fries. We weren't in a rush, just hungry. Otherwise, it was a good experience.
Been eating here for half a decade. This is a recent order of their sous marin & petite potine, the sous marin & poutine aren't even full.
Over the last few months it's clear that you used to get good portions of mid food, now you get low portions of mid food.
For the price you pay per plate I don't think this place is worth it anymore.
Came here on Monday & enjoyed a very good brunch with my group of friends :) Made the review because I have been thinking about their delicious'Mont Royal' poutine I had all week. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you

Cuisine de cantine bien réussi! Les hot dogs sont super bon autant les steamé que les grillés. Les poutines sont très bonne faites avec des frites maison. Les prix sont les même que dans les autres restaurants du même genre.
It's not too bad as a sit down place, & there's a nice park across the street to eat in. That being said - OVERPRICED. One mini poutine, hot dog & a canned soda came out to 16$! They ask for a tip, even on takeout. I apologized & said I couldn't & an employee told me that the staff doesn't even get the tips. I don't even know how that works. But it's been a few times now across different employees where the employees themselves seem to imply that the management here is a bit greedy. The service at the takeout counter isn't too friendly, either. Food is above Labelle Province in quality but nothing to write home about. I recommend going to Nouveau Systeme on Beaubien if you can. Much cheaper, friendlier service - but if you're in the area & want a hot dog or quick food, it's not too bad.

Meh. It seemed they were having an off day. There was a mistake with a burger ordered & the club sandwich showed up five minutes after everyone else was served. Ill pass next time. The poutine wasnt great. I blame the sauce.
One of the better poutine places in montreal. All the elements for a good poutine are respected: good fries, tasty good quality gravy & cheese curds that squeek. Tried the'Mont Royal' poutine with bacon, pepperoni, sausage, peppers & mushrooms. Definitely recommend.
