| - Been here twice and won't be back anytime soon.
On the first time, I ordered their braised pork poutine, which is essentially crockpot pork in a pepper gravy. The cubes of pork were tough, dry, and tasteless (it didnt even taste like pork). The accompanying gravy was kind of spicy due to the black peppers. The fries were the typical french quebecois fries - deep fried but still somewhat mushy, and not crispy.
Second time around, I decided to give their original gravy a go, so I ordered the classic poutine...it was not exceptional in flavor despite what some claim.
What I can conclude is that they're really greedy on the cheese curds. Both times I went, I've been given small quantities of cheese on my poutines such that I started with a poutine and was left with half a 'frite sauce', and I don't even like cheese (wait waaaat how can you -- I'm not a baby cow).
Their steamie, on the other hand, is very balanced in taste, for a Montreal-style steamie (ie: not a sauerkraut dog).
Service was probably the worst I've experienced at a casse croute. Cashier kept a straight face all along (not a single smile or thanks), and cooks looked fed up with their job.
Price/quantity wise, it's more expensive than Decarie Hot Dog, but cheaper than Orange Julep.
