Though I must say I wouldn't mind a bit more cheese! But that's just me. It's pretty good poutine - not THE best though, but definitely not the worst.

Many places make them way too salty (ex. Costco's, Smokey's...) The cheese curds are heated so hot it melts into the gravy. I would have to say that this is my favorite place for poutine. A large poutine runs $6.50 CAD. A good size to share as a snack with one or two friends. There's plenty of free parking in their private lot. Plenty of covered outdoor seating.

It has the sort of slightly rundown appearance of a place that you would expect to have delicious burgers and fries. I tried the burger and the poutine. The burger was really disappointing. The bun had sort of a weird soft quality like it had been microwaved. The meat wasn't really bound together at all and had a sort of crumbly quality similar to meatloaf. While the tomato was fresh, I had asked for the burger without it. The french fries were decent, but they would have stood up to the gravy better if they had been crispier. The gravy and cheese were salty, delicious, and plentiful.

Wow. No words. AMAZING…read more There's no sign for Sasha, just a white sack that says poutine, hot dogs, sausages. There's seating in the back. Amazing. No words it was immaculate. Poutine had lots of gravy and cheese curds, every bite had the perfect ratio. Even with so much sauce and cheese, fries are crispy even after 30 minutes of eating. The gravy is so well flavored, I liked the bowl clean of the gravy with my sausage. The polish sausage was amazing- Smokey juicy and grilled so yummy. The bread was soft and melted so well with the sausage. I put some gravy on top of the sausage and wow. A MUST! CASH ONLY BTW! The lady so sweet and explained the different flavorings of the sausages :) SO WORTH IT! The best places are the local mom and pop shops! :)

Regrettably, I did not get poutine, but I did get a sausage and it was great!…read more I'm not normally in this area at all, especially at night on a weekend, but we were on the patio at the Laff across the street for a friend's birthday and wanted some grub with our drinks after the Laff's kitchen had closed. We walked over to this little stand, which I actually had no idea existed, to get something quick to-go. There was no line late on a Friday night. We got a few different sausages and poutines and brought them back over to eat on the Laff's patio. It had been a long while since I had a grilled Polish sausage, so that's what I got with a little ketchup, mustard, and some chopped raw white onions. The sausage was perfect, tasty, hot, and not overcooked, just what I was craving and very satisfying. There was only one person behind the counter, a young guy who was very sweet, super fast, and we were really impressed he remembered everything we ordered. They have a small menu of your standard chip wagon fare - fries and poutine, hot dogs and sausages, pogos, and drinks, plus ice cream. Great spot that's open late (until 3am I think) for before/during/after a night out at the bars.

The Blooming Onion is often listed as the best chip wagon in Ottawa to get poutine, especially by…read moreXPress' annual reader's poll. However, I think its location gives it an edge, especially since no other chip wagons are allowed in the market. The poutine is still tasty and not too heavy. I also really like the owner and he seems to be popular amongst other patrons as well. It's obvious he enjoys his job. However, the poutine isn't phenomenal, the prices are a bit high and the hours are short and unpredictable. If you can catch it open and you're craving a poutine fix in the market, this is a pretty sweet spot to go. If you're a vegetarian, don't fret because the gravy has no meat products. ...I don't think I've encountered anyone who actually had a blooming onion at the Blooming Onion.

I finally made it there today, but ended up getting take out, so didn't actually get to eat in the bus after all. The food was ok but overpriced in my opinion. I had the cheeseburger combo ($10.75) which was a cheeseburger, small fries and a can of pop. The cheeseburger was pretty small. However, you can add toppings like fried mushrooms and fried onions for free. I got both those and also lettuce and tomatoes (also free). The burger tasted good, it was just really small. The fries are also a small portion and I felt they were just ok. They smelled really good, but didn't really taste like anything special to me. However, they may have gotten soft during my drive since they were in a covered container. Maybe they were crispier when fresh. I will give this place another chance by eating there next time, so I can taste how the food is when it's freshly made. I like that the bun is plain and doesn't have seeds on it. I got the regular bun, but they also have gluten-free buns. The staff working there were nice. And I had to say the whole double decker bus thing I find really cool.

This place is great. This is a food truck, and you always know exactly where it'll be!…read more The menu is a pretty good assortment of the usual fast food fare - burgers, hot dogs, fries, poutines, onion rings, fried finger-foods, and ice cream. But everything is made fresh to order and they have a nice assortment of add-ons you can have on your burger, many of which have no additional cost (you only pay extra for cheese and bacon). The food quality is really good as well. The gravy is really delicious and has a nice consistency. And the serving sizes for the fries and onion rings are very generous. They also have some really interesting poutine toppings, including pepperoni, steak, pogo, hot dogs, and donair meat. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the large patio/deck area, or you can sit inside on the upper level of the bus. As a bonus, it shares a parking lot with the Innes Road Golfland, so if you feel like having a game of mini golf after lunch, or taking advantage of their driving range, it couldn't be more convenient.

I was reminded of barney, but if barney was a trailer that sold crepes and sausages…read more Two main offerings I would suggest to try. The pulled pork Crepe was amazing. Besides the pulled pork being awesome, wrapped in a crepe with BBQ sauce drizzled on top was next level stuff. The sausages that are offered are a nice change. They are not your usual mild, hot, ect. The one I had was Garlic and Red wine. I believe there were 3-4 other types of sausages along those lines. I would say come prepared to have a crepe and a sausage which would be under 20 bucks with a drink if I remember correctly. The crepes offered were both main dishes and desert options. Be prepared to wait a few minutes for your food though. The crepes are made when you order. I personally enjoyed how fresh the food was. I would say one of the best food trucks I have tried recently mainly due to it being so different.

The Best Chip Wagon by Kennedy Flower Shop isn't the best place to go for poutine, in my opinion,…read morebut it's still pretty good. The owner is always very pleasant, he doesn't skimp on the curds and gravy, plus their prices are fair. The wagon is at a bus stop for the 1, 4 & 7, and it's good enough that I see people quickly try to order an impulse buy of poutine or a hotdog before their bus rolls around. I've also seen people miss the bus by the final slamming of the door because they took this gamble. My major complaint is their short hours. They seem to cater to the work crowd because they're only open from the late morning until around 6pm. With its location and clientèle, I think they could drum up a better business if they stayed open longer, but since it only seems to employ the owner and one other person, I can understand that they'd want to keep short hours. If you're really in a bind for late chip wagon poutine, you may be able to get some at Bank and Laurier and you'll most definitely be able to find an open chip wagon on Bank and Sunnyside.

They sell Asian snacks, like dumplings, spring rolls and samosas. The staff are lovely. I personally found the food just ok, but your mileage will vary because my husband loved it. We came once at the end of the day and they were packing up. We got 3 samosas for $5 and you usually get 4 spring rolls for $5, but since it was the end of the day they gave us 6. The samosas and spring rolls are vegetarian. I was impressed by the crispiness of the spring rolls, but I found the filling a bit mushy and unremarkable. The filling had cabbage, onions and carrots. The dipping sauce though was excellent. It was sweet but had a real spicy zing to it. The samosas were filled with mostly potatoes. I tasted a few peas in there as well. The flavour was somewhat muted, and I personally was not wowed, but they were fine. I like supporting small local businesses so I will return to try their dumplings and they have a vegetarian curry with roti that looks promising too. They have a frequent buyer card where you get a stamp for every $10+ purchase. After 10 of such purchases you "get a free plate" (I'm assuming of dumplings).

I came across them last year and forgot to add the business but what better time than Asian Heritage Month? Their menu is small but they've got roti canai, pan fried dumplings, samosas and spring rolls. The odd time if you follow them on Facebook they take orders for Japanese cheesecakes which I've never tried. I really like the roti canai and curry that it comes with. I THINK but not 100% sure it's vegetarian friendly. The other items are also pretty good but when I get a craving for roti in Ottawa, I came here. Yelp won't let me add their Facebook page as their website and they don't have their own website. You can follow them here https://www.facebook.com/snackoshack/

Kinda feels like a semi-permanent establishment. Smash Daddy Burger - A double patty of flattened beef was delicious. It was a melange of flavours that worked very well. I wish the patty was more crispy so that there is more texture in the patty. Naked Fries - The spiced fries were one of the best fries I've had. Fries were super crispy with fluffy interior. There was a good amount of seasoning on the fries making it tasty in flavour and texture. Would come back just for this!
