| - My wife is from Montreal and poutine is a staple there, so when we found out about US Fries we had to try it.
We live in way East Mesa, so it was about a 20 minute drive to get there. Octoberfest was going on, so traffic was a bit heavy once we got off the freeway, but we found parking on the street about a five minute walk from the restaurant and we felt happy.
When we arrived, there were only 3 other people inside and thought the service might be fast. But about a minute after us about 10 more people arrived. Not too bad for a typical fast food joint, but there was only one person working. Just one person working at 4:37 pm on busy Sunday.
I think her name was Vivian (very nice girl and very busy) took all of the orders first then started cooking. She came and apoligized that it was going to take awhile. It did. She finally got some help after about 15 minutes, and the two of them hammered out all of the meals, which took maybe 20-25 minutes to get ours.
The food was decent, but I doubt I will make any special trips to get there again. We each had a 1/3 rd pound burger and traditional poutine combo, each had a soda and we shared an order of cheese curds. The price was over $30.00 which makes for a pretty expensive meal. The burgers alone, which are pretty basic, but tasty were $6.99 each.
The poutine was decent but we make better at home, and at much less cost.
If you have never tried poutine before, go ahead and go and check them out, but remember, there is better values else where.
