| - Well, I went there on a Groupon, so my expectations weren't terribly high to begin with. We ordered a traditional poutine and a buffalo chicken poutine. Now, if we hadn't had a Groupon offer, I would have left after seeing the prices. At least $10 per item, and it's a fairly small box of fries, curds and gravy. Maybe I'm cheap, but that's not worth the price for me.
Moving on, the little restaurant had potential to be very cute and welcoming, but actually smelled vaguely of dirty mop water, and there was dirt and grime in a lot of the corners. Now, I might be more critical of these things because I am a manager in food service, but it left me feeling a little bit dirty.
Onto the food, after getting the little box of fries, gravy and curds, I found it lacking. Maybe my taste buds wanted more salt, and more crunch on the fries. And the buffalo sauce the chicken was swimming in was just a little bit overwhelming. It wanted to be delicious, it just wasn't there yet.
I feel like The American Poutine has potential to be a great little restaurant, but just didn't quite hit the mark.
