Excellent food! We had the wild mushroom poutine. It had roasted potato chunks instead of fries. Almost felt healthy? Drinks were very good too- several different beers, cider, & home.made sodas.

After trying poutine at a number of other places, we keep thinking back to the poutine done here. They got the balance between the key ingredients just right from both taste & texture perspectives. The cheese curds were soft & plentiful, the fries were cooked perfectly & had great crunch yet it absorbed the richness of the gravy, which brought everything together. Similar to the poutine, the salad had a well devised mix of grains & veg: some roasted, some raw for a complex bite in each spoonful. It paired incredibly well with all the warm dishes & negated much of the fattiness from fried stuff. Finally, it was difficult to go without a good burger, a beer & some of their own house-made sodas. Big kudos for the chef team for devising a menu that was interesting with its variety yet also stayed true on execution of the traditional recipes. Not to mention, great service from the staff. We highly recommend a visit here the next time you are in town.

This restaurant was supposed to have the best poutine in the city so gave it a try. Good points - street view was nice from our seats, waiters were friendly & food came quickly. The $5 soup special, sweet potato was delicious. Unfortunately, the reason we came, the $21 Smoked meat poutine was ok. You could tell they put the potatoes, gravy & curds on ahead of time as the gravy was already congealing, then extras were piled on as needed. Was not bad just lukewarm & mushy. No attention to detail. Not special, not unique, not even hot, went for the poutine, disappointed.

Staff is friendly & very helpful however the burger are not as good as you would expect, dry meat & small portions. You probably better get poutine as the fries were good.

In summary, I do recommend a visit but do take note of the poor experience we had with our waiter & how pricey it is. Considering how busy & hot the city was the restaurant is very efficiently run. We were seated within 5 mins but it did take 30 to 40 mins for the food to arrive. Only issue encountered was when ordering. We ordered two combos including fries but immediately, literally in the same sentence, queried what the soup of the day was - the waiters mask slipped & he completely dismissed our question by saying its too late, already sent through your order & walked away. Dreadful attitude which he put to oneside when expecting his tip later on. The food itself was ok, it's not particularly worth the price charged but you are in a tourist hot-spot. Their homemade sodas are very good though, enjoyed the lemonade.

A decent burger & fries combo, but a little overpriced for what you get. The soda is very interesting, a lot of unique options.

Great place but wish their burgers were more juicier & added more sauce. 8.5/10 for sure for the chicken burger & the fries

The food is really good. Today I ordered the Le Shack with fries. 10 minutes later sorry no fries. Substitute sweet fries or chips. Meal arrives no drinks. Ask for our drinks. Yes they are on the way. Half through our meal I head to the bar to get my drinks. Eating fries & the ketchup is empty. The new bottle was only a few minutes. Waiter kept saying sorry. We are from out of province & enjoy going there but two years in a row with poor service. Celebrating my wife's birthday this week. This place will not be on the list. Lots of selection around & easy to get good food & good service.
