Patate Ben-Venue draws mixed reactions from diners, with some describing it as a classic roadside stand offering quick, satisfying junk food and others finding the portions small and the value lacking. Several reviews praise the poutine, highlighting crispy homemade fries, rich gravy, and cheese curds, and noting a clean, simple atmosphere and dependable service on busy days. However, some diners complain about price for portion size and say the poutine did not always meet expectations or cravings, while others mention overcooked potatoes or ordinary cheese in less favorable visits. Tipping is a recurring topic, with at least one remark about being pressed for a tip and curt responses when none is left. Payment methods are noted, including cash or debit only, and a couple of anecdotes about card acceptance or unusual currency handling. Allergies or dietary needs are addressed in parts of the feedback, including gluten free poutine options. Overall, Patate Ben-Venue appears as a reliable quick bite option between Montreal and the north, delivering strong flavors for many yet not immune to criticisms about value, consistency, and service.
Well this is the only one that's open in the winter time that I could Discover it sometimes on a weekend you might find another one I've been going there for years I enjoy it it's on the highway so the view is not the greatest service is wonderful it is cold in the winter even if they're electric heating is on it's always cold in their dress warm or eat in the ca
Le personnel est très gentil! Mais c'est dommage, car le rapport qualité/prix & la nourriture ne sont plus ce que c'était auparavant... Peut-être un changement de propriétaire? J'en gardais de si bons souvenirs...

I got the Italian poutine, & my with for poutine with grilled onions & pickles. Mine was interesting, but I'd get the grilled onions next time. It was chilly, so we sat inside. The patio would have been nice in warmer & dryer weather.

Les poutine sont bonne mais pour les hot dog serait bien que le choux goût qq chose ...huile vinaigre & sel & un soupçon de sucre pi vous allez en vendre plus hot dog 😉
We stopped there on our way back home from Mont-tremblant, we ordered a poutine & it was so good. Everything was on point gravy, cheese, fries. Definitely worth the try 💯
We stop at Ben-Venue once a year on the way back when picking up our kids at summer camp. Everything is great, the poutine, burgers, hot dogs, fries etc...(all healthy food!). The service is fast, the place is super clean, they actually renovated the room this past year it seemed. They have a large, covered deck so you can eat outside. Parking in front. If you happen to drive by & you're hungry....STOP!
Un simple casseau de patates pas à la hauteur. Soit que l'huile était vieille ou que les patates cuites depuis trop longtemps ou recuites. Les patates trop cuites, sec. La portion de salade de choux des hotdogs vraiment pas généreuse. Un resto à éviter malgré une faim de loup !
