| - Okay, I admit that I have never eaten here before 2:00 am and in any sort of clear mind, but that doesn't take away from the greatness of the Big Cheese.
In essence, its fast food with a couple uncomfortable tables in the restaurant and most clientele having orders to go. Poutine is simple in nature, but add on some sauces, meats, a few vegetables (peas seem to be popular) and you got yourself...well...poutine, which is the only thing served here.
There are roughly 20 choices of poutine that come in large and small sizes. Most nights I find it hard to finish a large by myself, which at $6.99-$10.00 is an excellent value. They offer vegetarian, beef, pork, chicken combinations ect... that suit anybody, as long as you like poutine.
Here is a menu link : http://www.mybigcheese.com/menu/menu_thebigcheese_poutine_25-may-11.pdf
I am not an aficionado, but I can tell that the cheese 'curds' may not be official, however it still makes a good meal and snack. I find it helps to let the flavors settle for a bit (as I vigorously shake my brown take out box) and the cheese to melt before enjoying. They have a condiment station with extra spices and whatnot to make it the way you like.
I highly enjoy this place and continue to work my way through the menu. Scottish Curry is quite spicy, Donair seemed bland, traditional poutine is a safe bet, but anything with Pig in the name is recommended.
Big Cheese seems to have an inviting atmosphere, is well lit and clean, which is more than I can say for some of the pizza places that I frequent late night.
Next time, I trying the yam fries...maybe even in the daytime!
