Review: This featured skin-on fries. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was the most interesting element. It tasted like a combination of beef and chicken gravy with a pepper note. Rating: 7.4/10

Review: The poutine came with hand-cut fries that were really crispy and a little sweet. It had a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was standard brown gravy but a little saltier than most which balanced out the sweetness in the fries. I really enjoyed this. Rating: 8.3/10

Review: The poutine had real, skin-on, standard cut fries. There were a couple that were just on the edge of being under done, but I didn’t mind (they were definitely not raw). There was a fair amount of cheese. It was covered by just about the right amount of a pretty standard gravy. Rating: 6.7/10

Review: The fries were real, skin-on, and standard-cut. They were quite crispy. There was a fair amount of cheese curds. The most interesting element was the gravy, which seemed like a combo chicken and beef base with an herbaceous note on top. Rating: 8.3/10
