A classic corner casse croute, one of a dying breed. Excellent frites, good steamies, & a much more pleasant dining experience now that they changed staff to a new less drama breed of counter staff.

Great hot dog diner. If you like soft steamy buns & golden brown fries in a trimming legacy diner, this is the place for you.

It should be illegal to order a poutine without their spruce beer.

Came here for The poutine & beer, the poutine gravy & cheese were very good, it had a tiny hint of sweetness to it which I loved.

Got disappointed when I tasted the beer & realized it's not actual beer, it's a kind of root beer 🤣😭

I'm giving this place five stars because it offers a great experience if you're seeking to get a couple of steamies & some fries just like the good old days.
The hot dogs & garnishing were very fresh, & taste it just like the typical Lester steamie. Unfortunately the fries were a bit disappointing. Not sure what oil they use but it had very little flavor, overly browned & soggy. They do not rank amongst the top fries if you're looking for the typical Quebec style.

This is diner food perfection! The double burger was phenomenal. The two beef patties were perfectly seared & incredibly juicy, served on a fresh, toasted bun.
Equally great were the fries-thick-cut & tasting truly homemade.
It's a classic, satisfying meal executed flawlessly.
