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.

Classic poutine. Great taste, not super salty like in other places. Owner was cutting yukon potatoes right there. Freshest curds I've tried, they even tasted like fresh cheese. Best poutine I've had.
