I've heard about many good things about this place - quality of fries, taste/texture of gravy, and quality of cheese curds. Many like their unique variation of poutines, but I will start with the basic to know if they can get it right when I try a new poutine place. Very good - Freshly taste fries, lots of curds, and rich gravy. I would probably try pick up or eat in next time, to enjoy freshly made texture (crispy fries and curds' squeakiness. Eat-in is 100% recommended! :)

We had a medium to share. Service was friendly and our food was ready in just a few minutes. There are a few bar level stools and chairs to sit on.

We also tried the burger, it was not bad (granted this is a poutine place). Staff is quick with the order and it came out hot and fresh. It was a snowy day and we ate in the car, food had to be eaten right away to enjoy it. There's not much seating inside and it gets pretty tight when busy. I would come by again and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

Really solid poutine! I came during lunch time as I work nearby, and got a large poutine…read more - Fries: they are super potatoey-tasting which was great! A bit too soft for my liking, but there were crispy bits on the edges which was delicious. - Gravy: on the lighter side, but there was enough of it and it was hearty. I prefer my gravy super thick and rich-tasting, but that's just personal preference! - Curds: there were actually curds integrated throughout the poutine, so with each bite you can get some which was great. I actually thought there were enough curds which is rare for poutine! I am definitely coming back to get my poutine fix! So glad this place is within walking distance to work.

I chose the Philly Cheese steak, others picked up the original and the pulled pork and the smoked sandwich. I found the Philly Cheese steak made with low cut meets. The overall gravy while vegetarian did not taste great. He Monstear size is a good shareable size for two people or an oversize portion with leftover.

Pickles definitely cut the richness of the poutine and, believe it or not, it's hard to get sick of! Cheese curds are great and the different gravy choices add to the large amount of options. The hotdogs aren't that great, but they're a cheap add-on if your really hungry. Don't mind the simple interior: it makes way for the poutine to really impress you.

We visited while the tulip festival was going on. There was food, art and lots of jewelry vendors, It was bustling. So many people and so much food. From Indian to a store all about cheeses from around the world. Being from Florida it's nice to find places like this that are very different and unique. The best part about this market was finding a classic poutine spot. The menu was very diverse, but we wanted something completely classic. The flavor of the gravy was delicious and the french fries were fried perfectly. The cheese is very different too. It can be very spongy, but it goes well with the whole combination. We definitely would return back to Bytown Joe's to try their unique flavors of poutine!

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! :)

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.
