After having heard all the hype about this place, finally decided to check it out on a wednesday evening (~6:30pm) as part of our on-going hunt for the best poutine in town. This place is truly a man's space - simple seating (only about 8 stools or so); grunge rock playing in the background; plain cardboard containers. clearly they save their frills for their poutine selection. It's a bit overwhelming at first sight. I ended up picking the Chili Poutine and my compadre a Double Meat Poutine (Bacon + Pulled Pork).
Definitely should have stuck with my tried & true method of asking for a 'most popular item' -- my reaction to the first bite of the Chili Poutine: ENH. it boggled my mind as to why the chili was lukewarm, barely melting the cheese...meaning the semi warm sauce and cold curds just lay limp over the fries, smothering them soft...definitely not the makings of the best poutine ever. components of the chili were pretty hearty so it mayyyybe had potential if it were anything better than lukewarm, but i didn't taste it. 1 star.
I tried sneaking as many bites of the Double Meat Poutine as I could while it lasted. This on the other hand was piping hot, cheese curds layered between fries for nice distribution, gravy laden, and had the pulled pork had a good amount of sweetness to balance things out. As others have commented, this may not have been the best pulled pork ever, but it indeed hit the spot. 3 stars.
Not gonna lie - I probably will eventually return again for its convenience and variety, but I know now to cross that Chili Poutine off the list.
