Probably a go to if it's late at night & you need to have some food. Portions are generous & poutine is good. Don't expect any servous, as most of the people come for take-away. Staff are not overly friendly but not rude either. I don't know if this place deserves the rating it has, but I'm also not a poutine specialist. I'd say that if it's late & you're craving some local fast-food, you could go there. Value is fair.

Super friendly staff, the Sylton was so good! Not too salty, & the potatoes were fresh I believe. What a gem. A medium is enough for two.

Excellent poutine. Got the "sylton poutine" which is pretty much everything you can put in it. Very fast & efficient service. Couple were friendly & chatting with customers.
