Review Summary

Le Chic Shack is a highly regarded destination in the heart of Old Quebec, known for its vibrant atmosphere and prime location near the Château Frontenac. The restaurant consistently impresses visitors with its juicy, high quality burgers and unique takes on poutine, which feature hearty, cubed potatoes and flavorful, slow cooked toppings. Guests frequently praise the extensive selection of refreshing, house made sodas and decadent milkshakes, particularly the salted maple variety. While the venue is often busy, resulting in potential waits, the service is generally described as friendly, fast, and accommodating. The combination of fresh ingredients, creative menu options, and a beautiful setting makes this a popular and satisfying choice for a casual, gourmet meal while exploring the historic city.

It was good but the sauce was a little too thin, which made the potatoes soft not crispy & not enough cheese

Nice spot for good food near to the Chateau Frontenac. The fries are excellent, as are the hot sauces.

Les burgers étaient bons . Mes deux amies ont pris des poutines . Elles ont dit que ce n'était pas terrible . Sauce liquide & des patates à déjeuner pas très bonnes à la place des frites . Première & dernière visite !

Wir bestellten zwei Burger-Combos, die jeweils Pommes bzw Süßkartoffelpommes und Softgetränk beinhalteten. Fleisch, Bun und Pommes sehr lecker, hätte etwas mehr Sauce auf dem Burger sein dürfen. Hausgemachte Mangolimo war sehr gut. Sehr schön, dass es noch Lokale gibt, die Drinks selbst machen. Es war insgesamt etwas zugig und eng, ansonsten hat es uns gut gefallen. Glutenfreies Burgerbun gegen Aufpreis möglich. Nur Kartenzahlung, man wird vor der Bestellung darauf hingewiesen.

Went for lunch, insanely busy as its peak tourist season. Waiters were very nice & hardworking. We got our food relatively quick however we ordered more items after we got our meals including water for multiple people (we were a table of 6) & the water took a while to come. One person didn't even get any water despite asking. This is totally okay as it was busy & it is easy to miss one or two things here & there.

How good is the food? Depends on what you get. The milkshakes, soda, & fries are fantastic. A regular order of fries is a very generous portion. The vegan poutine is.... weird. The sauce isn't even trying to resemble a gravy, it really seemed like it was just their tomato soup poured over some potatoes & cheese curds (i asked for regular cheese curds as i am a vegetarian, not vegan. It normally comes with tofu curds). I ate it but as i was expecting a more gravy like sauce, i did not enjoy. I wish the menu described it a little better. The portion was also weird. We had asked how the portions were & the waiter showed us the bowls they would come in. I ordered a small because it looked like a solid amount for a heavy dish. The bowl was maybe a little more than half full. Lesson learned. We got a couple regular orders of fries for the table after as a few of us were still hungry.
I would absolutely go again, but will be opting for something else for sure.

I ordered the garden burger (vegetarian) with fries & a homemade raspberry soda.

Let's start with the burger. The patty was mostly rice & pumpkin seeds-an interesting concept-but it completely fell apart. I'm not sure what the binding ingredient was (if any), but it didn't hold its shape at all. I ended up eating it with a knife & fork, which kind of defeats the purpose of a burger. It came topped with tomato, lettuce, marinated onions, & beets on a brioche bun. I had to add some Firebarns lime & jalapeno sauce just to bring it to life-it was bland overall.

Now, the fries? Fantastic. Freshly cut, cooked perfectly, & topped with a unique salty-sweet seasoning that really worked. & the homemade raspberry soda was a winner too-fresh, tangy, & not overly sweet. Both the fries & the drink were standout items.

The atmosphere was also a big plus-welcoming, laid-back, & with a cool, original vibe that made the experience feel thoughtful & intentional.
Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars. The burger needs serious improvement-if you're offering a vegetarian option, make it one worth coming back for. & only accepting credit or debit? That's a bit of a letdown in 2025. Still, the fries, the drink, & the vibe saved the day

Incredible service & kind staff! Vegan poutine just straight up had tomato sauce instead of gravy though… also it came on chunks of potatoes instead of French fries which is odd because we saw other tables have french fries. like it wasn't necessarily bad but maybe it should be mentioned on the menu that it's tomato sauce & not a cool vegan mushroom gravy or something lol
Anyways 5 stars

I was so happy to see kimchi bulgogi poutine on the menu! It was a fun & unique twist. However, the food overall was quite salty & intense, possibly because there was too much sauce. I also ordered the veggie salad, but the dressing was extremely tangy-so much so that it made my tongue sting. On the bright side, the tomato soup was absolutely fantastic!

After waiting for over 40 mins without even the drinks we ordered, the service staff realized that they did not submit our order. We didn't make a fuss - mistakes can happen. Then, after waiting another 30 mins, all the while with a 10-year old kid walking around our table & knocking down my jacket off my chair, a service person came to tell us they had run out of poutine sauce (you would have thought they would have known this 20 mins earlier when our order was finally submitted). She gave us the choice to wait another 20 mins or order something that we didn't want. We asked them for a different sauce with our order - a compromise. Our order arrived with non-descript poutine sauce (which we were told they we out of). Overall, a really disappointing & unpleasant experience.

This place may look like your average millennial burger joint, but the food is above-average for a fast-casual sit-down burger joint. My Chic burger was tasty (& yes, there was a sauce that may or may not be thousand island) & thick. My fries were well-seasoned (I didn't have the poutine, but I bet it's also well-seasoned), & my raspberry soda (made in house) was great. The restaurant was also pretty clean. The shakes also looked nice.

Warning: this place only accepts card

Warning: you might get food poisoning. I didn't but my friends did. So I have to lower it to three stars.
