Une bonne ambiance retro accompagner d'une bonne patate frite & un choux moutard quoi de mieux!

5 🌟 il y a 6 ans, Je n'en mets plus que 2 aujourd'hui. La poutine n'est plus ce que c'était, la sauce brune, les frites, ça n'a plus rien à voir. Puis le customer service à empêcher les gens de manger sur place à 18h25 alors que ça ferme à 19h, même un petit pogo, c'est pas cool.

The hamburger combo + poutine & spruce beer was fantastic. The burger was simple but perfectly cooked. The cheese curds were very squeaky. I really enjoyed the spruce beer, too. Highly recommended for some really good poutine!
