Paul Patates reads like a nostalgic Quebec casse-croute with a focus on classic fast food and a strong poutine game. Reviewers praise the poutine for crispy fries, fresh cheese curds, and a rich, well balanced gravy that sometimes carries a touch of sweetness, while the spruce beer is repeatedly hailed as a standout, a signature beverage people seek out, though one review notes it tastes more like root beer. The hot dogs are described as steamed with soft buns and generous garnishes, and burgers are often singled out for juicy patties and toasted buns. The overall vibe is retro and welcoming, with an old school feel and transfixing ambiance for those who appreciate a simple, honest diner experience. Service is quick and prices are reasonable, and many say the place is a must visit for a taste of classic greasy spoon charm, even if fries can be uneven and hours occasionally close early, so checking ahead is advised.
One of the best old-school greasy spoons in the city, everything is delicious, & the staff is always friendly. This place has to be one of the few left that still sells spruce beer!
Super poutine!
J'ai mangé ici plusieurs fois & c'est selon moi la meilleure poutine du quartier
L'endroit est simple chaleureux on se sent chez soi. Les portions sont généreuses & le prix raisonnable. Rien à dire je reviendrai.

Très bonne poutine, frites excellente, très bonne sauce, bon fromage mais pourrait y en avoir plus. Une institution à visiter absolument! Mais surtout, accompagné votre repas d'une excellente bière d'épinette!
This place has the distinction of being a favorite spot for Celine Dion & many other famous Canadian & international celebrities. Here, you're in for one of the most delicious burgers & poutines of your life, all while enjoying a warm & cozy local atmosphere. Jacqueline is always ready to welcome you with her warm smile & hospitable personality, & she always remembers your favorite order. She prepares her handmade burgers with love, offering a unique flavor that sets them apart from any other burger. The fries used for the poutine are freshly made on-site, which, in my opinion, is a big plus. The setting is local, incredibly welcoming, & her young, friendly staff are both polite & kind.
Good quality simple "grubby" type of food. If you're in the mood for a good ol steamy, this place is great or Angus beef burgers, their famous épinette beer isn't for me personally, though the fries I ordered had no flavor to it, they didn't salt it. I don't know if that standard or they just forgot. The inside is cute, it's a time warp. You'll often see older folks in there eating by the counter, they seem to be regulars. You can't replicate that vibe. For take out, I'd suggest getting there 30 mins before closing if you want to order anything otherwise they're cleaning up & you can't order anything.
Bel endroit, prix accessibles & excellentes frites (pas tres etonnant jusque la). L'ambiance est joliment conservée avec la nourriture au comptoir & la musique des années 70/80.
Un des derniers fast-food classique du quartier Pointe St-Charles. J'y vais principalement pour leur bière d'épinette faite sur place & pour leur poutine. Bons prix, portions généreuses & service rapide & agréable. Petit endroit où il n'y pas énormément de places assises & qui est surtout fréquenté par les gens du quartier. Si vous êtes dans le coin, je recommande le détour 🙂
