Le menu était alléchant. L'accueil & le service très sympathiques. Par contre ma poutine baignait dans 2 cm de liquide (au fond du bol). Le cuisinier avait mis trop d'eau en diluant la poudre de la « sauce maison ». Du coup c'était pas très bon, surtout le fromage devenu caoutchouteux avec le liquide. Je goûtais ce plat pour la première fois, pas prête d'y revenir !

We ordered the La Forestière, the LE BBG, & the Blackcurrant-Blueberry cocktail, & every single item delivered. The LE BBG stood out with its juicy spice-crusted chicken breast, sharp local cheddar, crunchy red cabbage slaw, & smoky house BBQ sauce layered perfectly in each bite. Paired with the rich, earthy comfort of the La Forestière & the refreshing berry-forward cocktail, the entire meal felt indulgent, balanced, & unforgettable.

Poutine qui n'était pas vraiment une poutine…. sauce figée & froide (on aurait dit une compote au roast beef), patate déjeuner au lieu de frite. Le burger était correct, la viande était bonne & les bacon aussi ainsi que la salade. J'espère sincèrement que la poutine était une erreur sinon appeler pas ça de la poutine car ça fait honte au Québec. 3/10 overall

Le Chic Shack has the most out of this world authentic poutine! The potatoes were crispy under a heavenly smooth sauce with beef, pickled onion & of course cheese curds galore!

This was truly authentic, made from fresh potatoes, cheese curds & slow cooked shredded seasoned beef on top. The portion size they serve is generous. They have small & large bowl sizes with plenty of other poutine choice varieties.

I also had a simple traditional burger which was delicious & a nice compliment with the poutine. The bun was super fluffy & the special sauce complimented the meat nicely.

We popped in since we were staying at the Château Frontenac & it was fairly busy because of the upcoming St. Patrick's day parade. The staff were very accommodating as we had a sleeping baby in a stroller & made it very easy for us to sit & grab a quick lunch.

We menu is interesting enough. Very heavy, for the most part, but broad enough. My only disappointment was no children's menu. Even just a small portion of salad with a sliced chicken breast would have worked well. But we were able to manage.

Our food was fine. I had a chicken sandwich that was nicely prepared & had interesting flavors. My husband had a poutine bowl that he really enjoyed & I agree, the sauce was excellent. I wasn't overly impressed with my cocktail but that's fine. It was still barely noon :)

We'd stop in here again if we were in the area & needed something quick. Particularly because the staff were so great.

Love the food & service every time that I am in town. The mushroom poutine is to die for.

F.Y.I., if you want to try the hot sauce, the original is probably the one to go.

Ate here as a walk-in: had noted it was the closest restaurant to Chateau Frontenac where we were staying & the menu looked interesting.

Got seated without issue & ordered a burger, chicken burger & a poutine to share. We also ordered two boozy milkshakes (although we found out when the bill arrived that only one of the two contained alcohol - the Maple shake on the menu has a boozy cousin which is the one I ordered, but not the one I got).

The burger was good, but unfortunately the chicken was overcooked & chewy to the point I couldn't finish it. The poutine was very good - in a super savoury mushroom sauce & served with grated cheddar.

Service was OK but largely absent (I think tables in the window where the customer is facing outward can cause this unfortunately).

Okay so… starting off on a positive note: the burger was amazing. Very well done & delicious. However the poutine was EXTREMELY disappointing. The potato was cold & cube shaped. Like cold old fries. The sauce was thick & not warm to melt the cheese. & we asked for extra sauce cuz the poutine was DRY & they charged us extra For it. Unbelievable. We asked for extra cuz we were eating cold dry poutine…!!!!! Was not a good experience overall. Left disappointed.

Les burgers sont excellents & d'une grosseur normale. Les frites étaient bonnes & les sodas maisons sont bien (personnellement je mettrais plus de sucre). La poutine classique n'était pas une poutine : des patates grelots avec de la genre de sauce au vin & du fromage en grain. Étrange, pas tellement bon.
Puisqu'on a mangé à côté de la cuisine ouverte, l'ambiance était bruyante & on est ressorti en sentant la friture à plein nez.
Je recommande surtout pour les burgers, mais essayez de vous asseoir dans le palier du haut, plus loin de la cuisine.

Deuxièmement visite : Burgers toujours décadents! Limonade délicieuse. Les tables sur le bord des fenêtres, donnant directement sur la rue, offre la meilleure vue sur la rue, les passants & même un bout du Château.

Atmosphere is fun & worth it. I had the poutine with bacon & a maple sauce. It was very delicious! Others had the burgers, a little small but they seemed to enjoy them. The milkshakes were thick & very good.
