Mean Poutine Ajax

Well I did a search for poutine in Ajax and this name popped up. I was surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before as I am a poutine fiend. I don’t like to admit that but I am. So I go up to this place and it looks nice. Sign outside says one of the top 100 places to eat in your life and the usual self promotion. I go in and notice that there is no one ordering yet Mary Browns directly beside it is packed. Ok no worries not everyone loves poutine. I order the regular poutine in a large size. Fries, cheese curds and gravy. The associate working there offers me green onions for some reason to which I decline. Tells me about five minutes so I go outside and wait. I go in about three minutes later and it’s done. She’s just putting it in a bag and asks me if I want cutlery. I grab the food and go sit outside on the curb and open it up. Ok first impressions are the portion size is definitely value for the money, they use real cheese curds and the gravy wasn’t too much or too little. It was the perfect amount. But then, then I noticed it. I was immediately disappointed and couldn’t believe I’d been duped. They were using battered frozen French fries. I was shocked as any respectable place for poutine would use fresh cut fries. So I tried it. The gravy was decent although a bit salty. That’s ok because I like salty foods. The cheese curds were good and the portion of them was perfect. Actually this may very well have been the best poutine ever had they used real fries not something from the freezer. Frozen fries are ok for a home but any establishment that serves them deserves to be shamed and it speaks volumes about their food and operations. Needless to say I ate all the cheese curds and was able to choke down about 30% of the French fries. All in all a very disappointing experience and I would not go back and do not recommend.

Delicious poutine. Ordered seven classic poutines for my son's birthday. It was so good and the portions are pretty huge ?.....had leftovers for days

Big on size and flavour, you can’t go wrong with this place. I ordered 2 poutines and a hotdog for myself and my brother. 1 poutine would have been enough for both of us. We’ll be eating from here again. Hotdog was meh, the poutine is what they really do well here.

Excellent food and service! Got the regular sized Southern BBQ poutine and it was more than enough. The employees were helpful and kind, especially towards my toddler. Definitely going back!

Went into to grab a poutine and one of the girls working, was talking out loud, "I guess we can't leave early today". Ummm you're a fast food establishment, are you not happy where you work?! While looking at the menu, the same girl asked if I wanted to order, I told her not yet. I felt rushed and they seemed they didn't want any customers, so they can close asap. The food is good, but staff needs better customer service or find a job that is more suitable to them.

They have the best poutine you can find! They need to open up more stores!! Fast service, Great prices, big portions, fantastic tasting!

Good location and a lot of choices! Went with the classic poutine which comes with green onions that I love. The poutine was better than expected but I found the gravy way too salty so I couldn't finish it. Unless the sodium levels are adjusted, I don't think I would return.

Randomly saw this while in the plaza and decided to check it out. Pretty good selection to choose from and you sort of customize at the cost of using the add ons. Gravy was decent but nothing to rave about , portion was great.
