I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, but this place was just horrible. My partner and I have recently moved from Vancouver to Calgary and were on the hunt for vegetarian poutine. Alas, we had to look no further than our front door step as 'The Big Cheese' looked so promising.
I opted for the original veggie poutine. My boyfriend took the first bite (sneaky) and gushed 'Wow, that's hot' and not hot as in temperature hot. He meant hot as in THAT SPICE IS BURNING MY MOUTH OFF hot. I swear a whole pot of pepper was added along with a handful of chili flakes. Why? Why would you do this, my mouth is burning! Maybe they did this so you had to also buy a drink, which we did. The next disappointment came in terms of the cheese curds. There were about four on the top layer, honestly, literally four cheese curds on a LARGE poutine. The final disappointment came in the form of the fries. They were burnt (both me and my boyfriend had several BLACK fries in our 'poutine', and if they weren't blackened they were the bits of fries that no one wants to eat anyway - obviously been sitting in the botton of the deep fryer for 10 years. The worst poutine I have ever tasted.
Cheers Big Cheese for the bad tummy.
