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 🙂
