    Traditional poutine
    Jimmy K.

    We didn't have very long to explore Victoria on our recent cruise, but we were on a hunt for poutine. Luckily, my wife saw a sign for this place as we were exploring. They have several options for poutine, but we went with the traditional. They also have some sweet treats called beaver tails. We really enjoyed our poutine. The flavor was great and it was perfect temperature for a cool night.

    By the time we walked here from port, there was a long line for this yummy snack. We ordered the very basic beaver tail to try and my family loved it all! I just felt like it was a little on the small size. It's a pretty small shop that offers a variety of beaver tails, hot dogs, smoothies, ice cream, and hot chocolate. There could be more but everyone was really there for the tails. It came highly recommended by a friend so we tried it. We enjoyed it and would come back again for a sweet treat if we weren't tourists!

    We got here before the cruise ship rush. Nice place for a sweet treat. We were too full to try their poutine but the beaver tail was good. Only a couple tables in front of the stand.

    Poutail!

    Quick and tasty walk up service window. The food came out piping hot and the service was so friendly and amazing! The vibe around the shop is fun and what a cool surprise to try a beaverTail and a poutine COMBINED! I'd 100% stop in again.

    While visiting Victoria we had to try out some poutine and beaver tails! Yelp results showed this as the best rated to where we were, and while the outside looked not that impressive - the food was good! Is this a chain? Probably. It gave me American Wetzel Pretzel/Hot dog on a Stick vibes but it did just fine for us since the food was a new experience. We got a hazelnut beaver tail which reminded us of a flat funnel cake and the poutine was fries with basic light brown gravy and chunks of mozzarella. Employees were nice, and service was prompt.

    My first time eating poutine and it was delicious as was the frozen strawberry drink! Courteous staff as well.

    Glad we came across this place. Poutine was good, had a lot of cheese curds on it. Fries and gravy was nice and hot. Lemonade was nice and refreshing. The rest of the food smelled really good. Had a few tables outside so we sat down and enjoyed. Redeemed our yelp bonus after checking in and got a hotdog too.

    Brightly lit on a cold October night, we were drawn to Beavertails like moths to a flame. Not too much of a line, as the process to order food is quick. With the limited seating, most guests stood around the storefront eating their food and chatting with each other. THE FOODS | Beavertail pastries, poutine, hot dogs, and ice cream. I ordered... - Poutine | Thick fries topped with Quebec cheese curds which slowly soften but not quite melt; maintaining its squishy and chewy properties. Brown gravy is slathered on top and permeates into the fries. The dish is hearty and savory. A must try. - Beaver Dog | Hot dog warmly wrapped in their signature pastry which is slightly sweet. Add a little ketchup or dip it into the brown gravy from the poutine and you have yourself a real treat. THE BEAVERTAILS FEELS | An alcove with just enough interior space to take a few steps in to order at the front counter. A display case of ice cream flavors sits adjacent to the cash register. There's a red awning extending out onto the sidewalk where a couple of red tables and chairs are placed to sit and eat. The vibe is Canadian flare with a beaver plushy hanging out on top of the ice cream display case. THE PARKING SITUATION | Metered parking on the street. THE ORDERING LOGISTICS | Just line up and order or order through a food delivery app.

    Strawberry cheesecake beavertail

    Conveniently located within Downtown Victoria, its one of those cheap snack/ dessert franchises you have to hit up just because it exists. Flat fried dough with a variety of sweet toppings doesn't get any simpler. Unless I've forgotten, I've had other locations where the dough had a more substantial bite. It makes the toppings cloyingly sweet and doesn't balance them out well enough. For a late night craving, it's just easy access at least.

    Stopped here while on a cruise! First time having poutine and loved it! This is just a storefront so it's all outdoor seating in an area with other cafes/restaurants. There was a line when I got there but it went by super quick! Employees were really nice and made small talk with everyone asking people where they were from and such. If I'm ever back in Victoria I'll go back for more food!

    This place was awesome. This was one of the places we stopped at on my Alaskan cruise and this was on my list of places. I definitely wanted to try. This was very delicious. Hundred percent recommend this to anybody who is up in Canada or who is visiting Canada in Victoria.

    "Mehple" (maple)
    Amy P.

    I visited Beaver Tails for the first time with a friend of mine as this was highly recommended to me for when I visited Canada. I ordered the "Mehple" which was just maple and powdered sugar and she got the strawberry cheesecake. I wasn't sure what to expect from a Beaver Tail but I reminded me of a funnel cake. I thought it was pretty good. I'd like to try other flavors before I decide one way or the other though. I thought the maple was good, but definitely a bit plain. Otherwise service was good and the space was clean with a few chairs to sit in. As a bonus though, you get 10% off your order if you check in on Yelp, so that was a nice treat too!

Finally, you can choose if you want the extra toppings for a fee. I personally love the cookies and cream one with vanilla ice cream. Service is fast and everything is visible. It's so fun to see each ice cream get made! There are also other desserts available if you want something to go, or a souvenir. There is free water. Just grab a clean cup and pour it yourself.

Visited on a weekend night and ordered the small dipped cone with dark chocolate, raspberry sauce, and bits. I loved the contrast between the cool, creamy vanilla‑style soft serve coated in a glossy layer of intense dark chocolate that cracked with a satisfying snap. The raspberry sauce added a bright, tangy edge, cutting through sweetness rather than just echoing it. Texture‑wise, the firm shell and small toppings lent some welcome chew against the soft ice cream's smooth melt. The portion was modest (a true small), which made the roughly mid‑to‑high single‑digit price feel slightly steep but still justifiable for a treat. Service was friendly and quick at the counter. The shop's vibe leans casual and family‑friendly. Seating is limited, so this plays best as a grab‑and‑stroll dessert.
