Awesome vibe & hearty food! Pulled pork poutine & Jacques burger are two local favs that hit the spot.

A warm atmosphere & chill vibe make this a cool spot for a bite!

Restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine au style industriel qui sera ravire vos papilles. Burger, poutine bien évidemment avec beaucoup de choix. Les portions sont généreuses & le prix correct. Je recommande

Came for lunch after walking around the botanical garden with my girlfriend.

The place has a very friendly & local vibe & the man preparing our food was nice - asked what type of music I liked & played some on youtube on the TV.

La poulet buffalo & la merguez we're both excellent alongside Le smash burger PC.

Definitely would come back.

J'ai été la pour la première fois avec ma chère amie puisqu'on avait un creux & je ne regrette rien! On a commandé une poutine générale tao & un burger, la poutine était succulente tout comme le burger. Il y avait une chouette musique d'ambiance & le gars qui nous a servi était très gentil.

We came here for lunch before going to botanical garden. The place was empty, so I got nervous in the beginning but we gave it a try. We ordered 1 shawarma poutine & a burger. Both of them are awesome. Not greasy at all, cucumbers & tomatoes are very fresh! Love this place, please give it a try when you are in the area❤?❤?❤?. The owner is very kind n nice as well.

La poutine est bonne mais contrairement a ce qui est sur la carte il n'y avait aucun autre plat ce jour là. Du coup c'était embêtant car on venait avec qqn qui avait prévu de manger un burger & qui a été bloqué.

The Small order of French Fries was really big!
My wife & I even shared our fries with her uncle last weekend while totally enjoying our burgers (cheese, cheese & bacon, smash) next to a freshly delivered pallet of 700lbs of potatoes.
Perfect blanching. Perfect re-fry & seasoning.
Cooked in beef fat the way they should be.
No trace of old, dirty oil stank like most poutine joints, & not a spot of grease left on the checker paper when we finished. 👊
Those were some of the best fries I've ever eaten. Perfect.
Bravo.

We found this place on our way to look for a local lunch. They have amazing poutine, everyone ordered a different kind to try & were all very satisfied. The also have great burgers & smash burgers, all the ingredients taste very fresh, & their burger sauce is delicious. They make very real, natural, & tasty fries. They don't have gluten free buns or bread, but most of their poutines are gluten free if you don't mind cross contamination. All in all, great lunch, the wait time was good. Our appetizers of coleslaw & fries came after about 10 minutes, the poutine came before 20, & the burgers came around 30. This was great considering we were a large group & there were a sizeable amount of other people also in the restaurant.
