I came here and shared a large order of the Classic Poutine with my daughter. We both love poutine but I think between the two of us, she's more crazy about it than I am. I asked what she thought of this poutine. She loved the gooeyness of the cheese curds but thought the gravy was just OK. I'm quite inclined to agree with her on this. A very fair assessment. You order at the counter here, then they give you one of those vibrating buzzer thingies to alert you as to when your order is ready. We didn't have to wait very long before our order was ready. There's a water dispenser and cups beside it where you can help yourself to free water. I appreciated how quick, easy and convenient this place was. Would I come here for poutine again? Wasn't blown away by the poutine but they do have some interesting flavors on their menu and while we weren't blown away by the poutine, I think it was decent enough that I might consider coming back at least one more time to try something other than the Classic Poutine.
I asked the Internet for the best poutine in Vancouver and it brought me here. After finding some ultra-convenient street parking for the Sprinter van, I was inside and smelling that delicious smell of fried foods. A quick study of the menu - 18 different poutines available plus hot dogs and sandwiches and burgers - I made my choice. Ten minutes later, I'm digging in to number 14, the "Smoked Beef" which is a Montreal-style smoked beef on top of classic poutine. And for those who don't know, poutine is Canada's gift to the world. French fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. I was "good" and chose the medium because anything more than that would have been pure gluttony. The toppings? Perfect. The fries? Oddly done with a crisp outside and it seemed like underdone inside. Still, delicious and four stars good. The poutine went down well with a beer - is there a better combination than fries and beer? - and I was stuffed. Thanks, Belgian Fries! [Review 20881 overall - 58 in British Columbia - 1865 of 2023.]
It's possible because I got take-out, but even take-out fries shouldn't be this bad after only 10 minutes.. I got a medium Montreal smoked beef poutine to go. The pros: They separate the gravy from the fries and cheese in another container. They gave a lot of meat for the poutine, and the meat itself was really good--tender for a soft mouth. The gravy had good flavour. The portion is nice and large. However, this is where things go south. They didn't give enough gravy for me to coat every fry. In my opinion, the poutine was also lacking in cheese for the amount of fries. The fries themselves, the star of the dish, were hard and stale. It's as if the fries are days old, yet they seemingly made it fresh since it took a while to get. They were cardboard fries. I got this for myself as a treat, but it just ended up making me sadder with every bite. The ambiance inside is similar to a bar--very loud and sports play on the TV.
Good place to cross poutine off our list on our recent visit to Vancouver! Good, basic dishes with filling meat/cheese toppings; big servings, too. 4 stars for our Montreal Meat and Sweet Potato poutine dishes. No wait on the Monday after Christmas at noon. This place was busy but there was enough space to eat indoors and be socially distanced. FYI, they make it very unclear that the Sweet Potato Poutine only comes in a regular size. The menu shows Small, Regular, and Large options, and they didn't say anything when I ordered the Small. When the order came out, they even called it a Small. I thought it was weird that it was the same size as my partner's Regular, until I specifically asked the girl at the counter.
Things only get worse here at Belgian Fries. Before I could at least eat the fries. Now they are dry, overfried tough potato sticks. The price for a medium order of crappy fries is $10 now which includes a mediocre dip which all seem to taste alike. The service is ok. Still the same young people just taking your order at the till. Atmosphere had not changed much. Same decor. Bathrooms have been renovated. Maybe I should just come to order beer and use the washroom becaude the food so far remains sub par drunk persons food.
Great spot to eat on Commercial Drive. There are lots of tables and a cute little patio on the side. Service friendly and helpful I had the brisket poutine, and my date had a chorizo poutine. We both ordered a medium and could not finish. It's very filling and tasty. The brisket was served with a side of BBQ sauce, which I appreciated. Delicious brisket and curds. I would like to return and bring my boys next time out. I know they'll love the variety.
A quick stop to get poutine on our way out of BC. Neighborhood street parking. They have lots of basic poutine options, but also have tons of specialty toppings to pick from including butter chicken, sausage and smoked meats, etc. Food came out in about ~10-15 min. Our large poutine with sausage and smoked meats came out to be around $18 and fed the two of us for lunch.
GAVE WRONG ORDER!! We ordered two poutines: beef brisket poutine and meat chilli poutine. They have gave a sandwich! We waited 15-20 minutes and was a bit upset since we were waiting in the cold outside . Tried calling them and it went directly to "call busy" and called a few times (no luck) We already left by the time we noticed because it was all packed up. We live a bit far and would not come back to wait for another poutine. Disappointed for not caring for details especially for take out orders. Wasted our money on something we don't want
Strolled in here on Thursday night for a quick bite as the thought of poutine instantly made my stomach grumble! It was the first time I was there with a vegetarian, and while I was dreaming of their original classic poutine, we decided sharing one would be enough and we'd expand our horizons to try a vegetarian poutine. After scanning the board, I decided that we needed to try something totally different. I spotted "WAR FRIES" - an Indonesian twist on fries - peanut satay, mayonnaise (but of course? "Belgian") and chopped onions. The whole combination of mayo, peanut satay and onions was fabulous. Thinking about it right now has me salivating a little bit, just because the taste was so unique. Who would think to eat fries with satay on top!? It's like a cultural collision that I thought worked well. I guess my only disappointment was that it was not spicy and when I think of Indonesia, I think of SPICE, so grab a side of sliced up jalapenos for an extra flavour kick. The place is never that crowded so you'll always find seating. If you want to have a solid poutine in general, this was one of the original poutineries in Vancouver, so I feel like you cannot go wrong. I spotted they have a Happy Hour so if I'm ever in the neighbourhood after work, I will definitely be grabbing a beer and some poutine.
This is a nice casual sit down restaurant. They have several tv screens and show sports games (ex. World Cup soccer). It feels comfortable, and the service is friendly. You take a number machine that lights up when your order is ready. The prices are reasonable for the portions you get. I ordered the deep fried pickles to start. They were tasty but the batter could have been crispier. Then, I got the chili poutine, which was filling and ended up being two portions for me. At $9, that's very reasonable. However, the fries need to be crispier for my liking. Next time, I'd like to try the chorizo,bacon or chicken kebab options. They don't only have meat; vegetarian options are also available. There are so many poutine options that it's a bit overwhelming. A friend ordered the fish and chips and was satisfied with the portion and taste. The beer on tap is $4 a sleeve at happy hour and $5.50 afterwards. Wine is $5.50 at happy hour and $7 at regular times. I'd say this is a good spot to come to when you're craving greasier food and a casual welcoming atmosphere.
Casual spot. Their poutine was amazing. We had the beef brisket and the beef steak. Generous serving size, the small was very filling.
I went with my son. He had the burger and fries and I had the poutine with beef brisket. It was really awesome. Don't make any plans after eating the bb poutine. Beer was okay (house draft) next time I'll get the Granville lager
HUNNNYYYYY I love my fries nice and crispy and nice and crispy! If you want some good poutine in your local Commercial Dr. And you is craving for that poutine, this is the P L A C E! I mean, if you looking for that local munchie place too, nammsayinnnn!! Belgian fries is my go to poutine place because of how much gravy they smother their fries. So GENEROUS!!
$13 is for the smallest poutine. I thought it was extremely expensive until the dish came and the portion is massive. I wish they made an extra small version too. They dont skimp on the cheese curds and gravy, but I think the fries aren't very crispy. They have a self serve water station and a clean up station to clear your own dishes. read more
I thought this place would be better than it was. Like a fast food burgers and fries joint with tasty poutine dishes. The double cooked Belgian style fries were very good, but that's where it ended. The Butter Chicken Poutine was tasteless and had a funny texture to it. Gelatinous. The gravy was also bland and tasted like it was reheated out of a can. I'll grant you that maybe my tastebuds have been Americanized, but still, this was just inedible slop. Overpriced, inedible slop. The only saving grace is the wonderful workers and how hard they tried. 05/25 read more

If you ever want to destroy yourself on poutine for the cheap, this is the place to go. Parking is available along the side streets, as well as Commercial (metered). The inside is hipster casual, with 1980s era furniture, with a long thin patio outside. Staff were friendly. The food here is quite decent. The portions are fabulously huge. There are only 2 sizes (medium, and large for $1-2) more. Medium can easily feed 2-3 people, and large can feed 3-4. For $10 or so, this is insane. They also don't skimp on the cheese curds. Beautiful. Smoked beef - nice tender pieces. Layering wasn't too good though, as all the meat was on the top. Galvaude - reminded me of chicken pot pie, with the peas and all. Nice shredded meat and sauce. Kept everything moist. Beef steak - ground beef, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Just like one big shepherd's pie. My friends and I all felt this was the best one of the 3. (Galvaude would be in 2nd place) The best part about the poutine? The dishes were extremely filling, and filled with a gazillion calories. Just writing this review makes me want to go back and destroy myself again. Recommended. read more
How this place has changed, it used to just be a little shack that sold fries and dipping sauces (that is what I remembered it), I don't remember that they had expanded their menu to the point of burgers and other things, and to even have liquor on the menu, this is not just a fries joint anymore. We came in here on a rainy day where my brother needed a snack and I was more surprised at the line up for the food here. They run a fast food way of ordering, regardless of if your sitting in, or your taking it to go your lining up to order and pay up, and then when it is ready you pick it up at the other end of the restaurant. I guess the best way to think of what I'm talking about is what you do at Starbucks for your drink orders, order one place get stuff from another. My brother ordered the chicken poutine and it took awhile for us to get the order, partly due to the line up. They make it fresh to order, cause no one wants fries sitting under a heat lamp for the price you pay for this stuff. When we received the order, it was hot, ready to eat, and while I was driving back, and my brother was picking at the box, he even said the heat was burning into his crotch (yes, the visual, that's where he put the takeout box, right on his lap), so we knew it was made fresh to order. The order was a medium, tons of big chunks of chicken in the box, originally a whole breast of chicken being grilled up, then chopped, and topped on the fries. The thing was loaded with huge cheese curds, and drenched in gravy. The size of this thing was big, even if it was crammed into a little box, it will fill your stomach. The chicken chunks were done quite well, and the whole mixture worked, by the middle of eating this the sodium really started to kick in where a drink was needed. If your eating in, this place is pretty cool, in some ways it feels like a sports bar, with bar seating, tv's on sports, lot's of chairs, a good different type of hangout. If your craving poutines, or just a big amount of fries, and some other variety, come take a look. read more

Have been coming here for local poutine for years and it always hits the spot! The portions are pretty big so I tend to come here with family and get the meat poutines like smoked beef or beef brisket. Always a hot gravy, gooey cheese curds salty, crisp fries, can't ask for much else! read more

I'm going to have to give Belgian Fries 3 stars which I myself am surprised by this result as I've had Poutine here before but tonight it missed the mark for me abit. I ordered the Classic small poutine. While the service was incredibly fast, I found the cheese curds far too big and the poutine sauce was hot but not piping so with these two factors, the curds didn't properly melt into the fries. The fries were superb of course, still crunchy but left feeling kind of disappointed. I can't seem to find the authentic Montreal east coast saucey poutine my mind and soul craves on a weekly basis! read more

Im not sure why Poutine hasn't blown up in the States yet? I mean cmon... who doesn't love French Fries,Cheese curds and gravy all smoothered together? Not the healthiest food to eat but when in Rome right! So 3 of us shared a large order of the Poutine (with chicken,peas,gravy,cheese curds on top of french fries). The taste was amazing. Why didnt I think of this concoction? We also ordered a large fry with garlic aoli and pesto aoli dipping sauces. Also amazing. I will come back to Vancouver and now I must try the other Poutine flavors. Belgian Fries please open up a branch in California! Tomorrow I will make an appointment with my doctor to check cholesterol levels... wish me luck. read more

Filling and fresh, this deep-fry greasery cooks up a range of delicious dishes that can be smelled up and down the block. The hot oil keeps the room warm, and the high levels of fat can help apply extra weight for the long winter months. Fries are the specialty, with fancy mayonnaises giving them that European touch. Other dishes include food on the same social standing, such as hotdogs and poutine. Worth noting is that during the summer months they offer deep-fried Mars bars, so good that they could literally give you a heart attack. Affordable and tasty, its guaranteed to pick up your taste buds and slow down your metabolism. read more
Fairly tasty poutine. For me, a good way to gauge a poutine joint is to try their flat out original/classic variation. If one can't do the staple right, odds are they may struggle with more complex dishes. The classic itself was very tasty, not too salty and the curds had a nice chew and sourness about them! The butter chicken one was a bit dry and tasteless unfortunately though Overall though, would definitely come back if for nothing other than the sheer quantity given and the reasonable quality of the food! read more

All types of poutine for all your heart desires. They even have yam fries which were my choice. I substituted my regular fries for yam fries on my chorizo plate. It was a $4 up charge. I also held off on the gravey. The service was really quick and you got your food within minutes. Definitely going back to try some of their other stuff. They also do have some beer on tap. read more

Burger & fries - amazing. Brisket on poutine - not sure. We had the ultimate burger and it was aaa-mazing! Everything you could hope for in a juicy burger was served between 2 slices of brioche. The cheese was nicely melted with the ultimate vege mix of the mushroom, red pepper and onion. Comes with fries, and do they provide choices for your dipping sauce! And no sir, they don't cheap out on the portion. Choose from Honey mustard, Golden mayo, Scallion Green etc. The fries, cheese curd and gravy on the poutine were delicious! However, the brisket could be improved. I felt that the brisket was chewy like it wasn't real meat. It was a hot spring night, so I ordered the Peach Stone drink in the one-size cup. Man, I couldn't finish because it was too sweet. In hindsight, I could have poured some water to make it a second drink. In conclusion, I would come back for their burgers and fries! yum! read more

Belgian Fries at The Drive: Best Fries! Ever since December, I've been in the East Vancouver community a lot and since its summer, I've decided to visit "The Drive" also known as basically just Commercial Drive. It was actually my boyfriend who told me about this area that was absolutely foreign to me. Went online lately and was look for poutine and came across a place called Belgian Fries. I've read a lot of good reviews about it so decided to check it out. I've been to a few poutine places like Fritz, La Belle Patate on Davie and of course the regular poutine places like Costco and New York Fries. Finding authentic poutine, like the ones I had in Quebec is simply impossible. After going to so many places, I've given up on finding real cheese curds and instead I've just decided to look for the place with the best fries paired with the right amount of gravy and I personally love Belgian Fries now Visited Belgian Fries on Commercial Drive. Its actually on the corner of 3rd Ave and Commercial Drive. We usually park on 3rd because its just easier to park there. We got the classic poutine and chicken strips. Chicken Strips were the plain regular chicken strips. Nothing special. Lets move on to the better things like Poutine and those two beverages on the side. The fries in the poutine are so good, crispy and soft in the middle, the gravy isn't too salty or bland. The fries are also from real potatoes and not the powder version which I absolutely is not a fan of. I think its just perfect and of course the cheese curds are just like the cheese curds that you find at almost every poutine place in Vancouver. It's been a while since we've seen this little guy The glass bottled Coca Cola. I love Coca Cola in a glass bottle simply because the amount of carbonation in there is just PERFECT and the flavor is kept much better than those aluminum cans. read more
