Overall, Lafleur is described as a Montreal institution for classic Quebecois fast food with hot dogs, poutine, and generous fries. Reviewers repeatedly praise the food as tasty, hot, and well cooked, with some calling the fries the best in the area and the meals reliably satisfying. The location is convenient and the restaurant is clean and well maintained, with service typically bilingual and French predominating. However, service can be slow during busy times and some note that the bathrooms need renovation while the menu can be hard to read. Price is sometimes seen as high for small items, though portions are generally generous. Several reviews mention friendly staff and quick pickup during peak hours, while a few describe mixed experiences. Overall Lafleur remains a strong, dependable choice for those craving classic fast food in a casual atmosphere, with suggestions to improve signage and atmosphere.
I wanted a bowl of popcorn chicken since I dont eat bread. I honestly thought this was a healthy place from the look of the restaurant outside but its very deciving no healthy options at all. Anyhow order just a bowl of the chicken nothing else cost was nearly 12$ & honestly the bowl portion i kid you not was for a toddler. Pricing is absolutely ridiculous 🙄 😒 portion even more, dont waste your money here. Taste was average nothing special.
It kind of seems that their Michigan hotdogs aren't as good as they use to be. The sauce seems different. It's still a nice treat to go there once in a while. Just maybe not quite as good as it once was. After just eating there again, I still stand by my previous comment that the sauce used in their Michigan hotdogs is different. Still okay but different.

C) Put Quebec themed things inside like the flag. & our Savior In there.
Conclusion:
I love Lafelurs it was good. Just improve the restaurant communication signage & atmosphere a little goes a long way. Or leave it as is. Depending on God.
Sometimes, the stars align & a great meal becomes a perfect one, even at a fast food restaurant. This was our 4th time at this Lafleur's since 2001. It's always been very nice & accommodating of an Anglophone. The cashier was very friendly. The food was hot & generously portioned. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cordial. I wish I had better words to describe my appreciation for our impromptu late evening visit to the best French fry & hotdogs joint in the middle of a commercial district. Well done Lafleur's.
