When you arrive you go directly to order & then sit down, since you don't have to wait for them to find a seat for you. When you sit down they bring some bread, butter & a small plate of salad to the table while you wait for the food. They have different types of draft beer & in bottles for different tastes. They serve you a lot of food & all the meats come with a side, which from what I could tell is French fries. As for the waiters, they only come to your table to take or remove dishes.

We've always made it a point to stop here on our way to Quebec - the atmosphere is lively with a biker bar-old fashioned feel. We have always enjoyed the smoked meat sandwiches but have found the poutine to be quite salty. On our most recent trip, we were surprised by the cost - it was $65 for one jumbo sandwich & one regular (no sides), a large poutine & 2 sodas. Definitely worth the visit but maybe just for the sandwiches!

Food was great & tasty. The flavor melts into your mouth, & they serve big portions. I ordered smoke meat sandwich & my family got the ribs & chicken, all of them are delicious. ❤️

Delicious! (& fast if you come before the lunch rush) Service was okay for what it was- you have to order at the counter before you sit down. But the lady who brought us our food was rolling her eyes at us (not in a fun joking way) for not knowing that, which was unnecessary. Atmosphere was fun, I bet it's a hoot when a live band is there. Little cramped, & while there is a ramp I wouldn't consider it accessible.

La poutine avec de la viande fumée vaut grandement la peine du détour !
