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 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!

Visiting Ottawa, I wanted a poutine...well I actually wanted one in Quebec but given the red zone…read moresensibly stayed in the Ottawa limits. This location has a range of poutine to choose. 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. I wouldnt return to this place, I found the fries soggy, but a good portion size jf that's what you're looking for.

They also have a little patio out front with tables and umbrellas. They do breakfast and have a fairly large menu including seafood, pasta, steaks, sandwiches and even pizza which is what we went with. The pizza was good but not great. The toppings were delish but the crust tasted premade and was a little cardboardy. The staff were very friendly and service was good. I noticed they had all different kinds of specials going on most weeknights such as 10 meal choices for $10 or half price wine on such a night and half price pizza etc. Perhaps there are other food is better. I'd try them again if I was in town.

I went here with my brother to get some fries, pogos (aka corn dogs, I hadn't realized that "pogo"…read moreis an exclusively Canadian term until my American friend, Karen K, pointed it out to me, lol) and hot dogs for my little nieces. I have never had a pogo in my life and have no inclinations to change that. I also don't like hot dogs, so all I tried were the fries and they were great. The fries were a bit sweet (from the type of potatoes they use) and they tasted fresh and not from frozen. I liked the texture, they were not mealy. I like that they are unsalted. I think a large was like $6 or something like that. Pogos and hotdogs are $0.99 each. My older niece who is a picky eater and had never had a pogo before, took one bite and proclaimed "I LOVE POGOS!" Lol. She ate one and a half pogos, which is a lot for her. The breading looked crispy. The hotdogs were tiny and they were steamed. The nieces rejected them so my brother and dad ended up eating them. The place is really popular; we had to stand in line for a long time. Decor is old school diner-like. It reminds me of those casse-croutes that are ubiquitous in Montreal like La Belle Province, Lafleur Restaurants, and Green Stop. Most food here is greasy and fried. If you're trying to eat healthy this is not the place to go. It's not my kind of place, but for what it is, I think it's good. It's in a plaza, so lots of free parking.

The gravy didn't have much flavour wasn't warm enough, so the cheese barely melted. It just kind of sat there and was a bit congealed. Fries were nothing the write home about either. I was expecting a lot better based on the reviews. Maybe it was an off day who knows. The inside needs some updating, as it's kind of dark inside, they barely had any lights on.

I ordered a small poutine to go, what a treat! I snapped a few pics but could not wait near the garbage cans as they REALLY needed to be changed! Didn't take too long and I was on my way. $6.75. Potion was ok. Good ratio of fries to cheese to gravy. The fries were for sure chip-truck tasting. Very thin but I liked that the skins are left on. I loved the saltiness of it. Daily/weekly specials. I'll try the loaded baked potato poutine next time. Or I'll come on a Tues when they have pad thai on the menu. Cool Truck!
