The signature menu focuses on steamies featuring hot dogs topped with finely chopped cabbage, mustard, and onions. Patrons frequent this establishment specifically for its iconic poutine, which features squeaky cheese curds smothered in a rich, savory brown gravy over crispy fried potatoes. The kitchen also specializes in classic smash-style burgers cooked on a flat-top grill to ensure a crisp exterior and juicy center. With a layout centered on functional efficiency, the counter-service atmosphere facilitates rapid turnover for those seeking traditional fast-food options.

Les meilleures frites à Montréal depuis plus de 100 ans... Si vous êtes dans le coin faut gouter a leur frite avec du sel & vinaigre, ils ont garder les bonnes vieilles méthode d'antan & à 5$ le casseau de frite c'est un throwback de petit plaisir comme aux belles années des Dinner/Snack Bar !

The poutine is worth it all!! It's a hole in the wall in a colorful (seedyish, former red light area) part of Montreal, but the poutine is all that! Perfect fries, melty cheese curds, great gravy. The hotdogs are just plain dogs, but the steamed buns were delicious & the slaw on top rounded it all out. Yes, I was sober as a church mouse. (This place is a popular late night spot. ) It is cash only. They've been in business for over a hundred years & I'm sure it's because of the poutine. It's a dive, & there are no pool tables. It's just a great experience!

Definitely worth having a taste at this iconic hub if you're getting into the city & staying for a late lunch. Ask them to put everything into the hot dog (sans allergies)! Je ne regret rien~

Perfect spot for late night eats. Love to support a historical business that's been in business for 100+ years. No fuss interior slinging classic steamies & fries. Delicious dogs & fries. Cash only so make sure to have some handy.

The hot dog was great. Ask them to put everything on it. You won't regret it (unless you have allergies of course). The food isn't the only thing special about the place though. Walking in, you'll quickly realize this location is a neighborhood fixture. They have all kinds of people coming in that look like they just got off of work or are in the midst of a night on the town. You can tell many of these people are regulars based on the rapport they have with the staff. Then there's the pictures on the wall. Photos that show the kind of pride they have in their business. I only had one meal there but if I lived in Montreal, I'd like to count myself as a regular. Oh & it's cash only, but they have an ATM.

La meilleure poutine! Un monument montréalais qui a fait ses preuves. La salle à manger est petite, mais l'ambiance kitsch & vintage est superbe! Je ne peut que recommander.
