Review: This had skin on fries. There was a lot of shredded cheese in this poutine. Unfortunately, the gravy was a little watered down and lacked the oomph that the poutine required. Rating: 6.2/10

Review: The poutine had real skin-on fries cooked to a nice crispy texture. There was a good amount of cheese curds. The gravy was pretty much standard fare. Rating: 7.6/10

Review: The fries were large, frozen fries, but of reasonably decent quality. The curd distribution was a little bit off. The gravy was ok, though I can’t say anything particularly interesting about it. Rating: 5.7/10

Review: This featured hand-cut fries. They were perfectly cooked. There were ample cheese curds. The gravy was pretty flavourful. I wish there was a little bit less because it softened the fries a bit (plus this was delivery). Rating: 7.0/10

Review: The skin-on fries tasted like frozen fries. The gravy had a nice dark colour, but was lighter in taste than it looked. The curds were adequate. Rating: 6.2/10

Review: This poutine featured oversized “chips” which appeared to be dredged in flour. It could have used more cheese curds. The gravy was a little bland. I was actually appreciative of the green onion garnish, which gave a little flavour pop. Rating: 6.3/10

Review: This poutine featured the frozen fries I just really don’t like (pretty sure they’re McCain Superfries). The curds were fine as was the gravy which tasted a little more like chicken gravy than most. Rating: 5.0/10
