I got the regular poutine with vegetarian gravy from the stall. The portion size was huge and definitely shareable. The fries were good. I enjoyed the gravy, but I don't know what the gravy should taste like if it was not vegetarian. There could have been more cheese curds, but I just love cheese a lot. I'll definitely come back in the future! read more

Mean Poutine - regular poutine with vegetarian gravy - Hot Dogs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

When in Canada, I need my poutine fix. This is a strictly carry out place. No outdoor seating. No restrooms. I just had the regular poutine classic. It was good enough to get my fix. It was made to order and the lady at the counter was very nice. I imagine this place does quite a lunch and late night business based on its location. read more

A tiny little spot for you to order on the sidewalk. Food seems to be made fresh and comes out piping hot, but it also means it's a tad bit slow. I got a philly cheesesteak poutine, and it was delicious, albeit it unrelated to a Philly cheesesteak. read more

I'm no expert in poutine. In fact I've hated it all the 4 other times I've tried it. However, the ones here for $8 somehow made me enjoy them. Very basic but, not overly soggy and gravy was good. They offer other options w toppings. Small space, order it to go. read more

Open 24 hours, perfect late night snack in a busy area! There is so much to do in the neighborhood but this quick service is one of the better options. The staff are so nice! read more

The place looks like a dive, hole in the wall food stall. But don't let looks deceive you. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is great for the price. You don't come to a place like this expecting high end quality, rather you get cheerfully satisfying. I really like the gravy, it had a bit of kick to it. I will definitely order from here again next time I'm in the area. read more

I ordered the basic poutine but fried extra crispy. Gravy has a bit of spice to it. The fries has an almost a curly fries coating. Service friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is its a hole in a wall. You eat and order on the sidewalk. When it gets late at night it caters to a lot of drinking individuals. I would feel like grasping my purse every 5 minutes if i came here at night. Minus one star bc its in a tough neighborhood. But tastes sooo much better than costco poutine. read more

Mean Poutine - Classic Poutine - Hot Dogs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

It was my go to spot for some warm poutine after a night of drinking. They are located on Granville street, right where all the bars and clubs are. It is a grab and go spot, don't have seating area. Recently I took a friend of mine who was visiting Canada for the first time to make her try poutine and I couldn't have picked a better place. I kept it simple and just got their classic poutine but holy moly it was so good!! I don't know what they do to make it so delicious. The fries were super crispy yet thick, there was enough gravy on everything so that it perfectly melted the cheese. For some reason, their gravy does not make the fries soggy. The service was also very fast, we got our order in about 5-10mins after placing the order. If you are ever in downtown craving poutine, this is the place to go! read more

One day when we were walking we stumbled across this poutine place. The food is so tasty and has a good price for a big portion. They also have hot dogs and lots of options of poutine. Service ice is good they are nice to you and make your food fast. they have selection of drinks as well read more

This is the best little window that exists in the entire city. Opens late and the poutine is excellent

Let me start off by saying I am not from Canada and have no knowledge prior of poutine, so take my review with that in mind. I was visiting Vancouver for the first time and really wanted to try Poutine and found this place on Yelp. The shop is small no dine in just a little counter to eat your food. It's no frills but it sure was yummy! The service was quick and the interaction was short. Nothing bad to say. If you're a first timer I think it's a great place to dive into poutine! read more

Mean Poutine definitely living up to their name by hiring the unfriendliest employee ever. Wow. Came by on 4/21 630pm and the female employee was wiping the glass. Ok, hi. I'll just look over the menu and take pictures since she's really focused on wiping the glass. Still wiping. Still wiping. Still ignoring me. I'm contemplating about walking away but then she finally asks what I wanted to order (no greeting/no expression on her face -a bit unnerving but fine. I just want a BBQ poutine with extra crispy fries/$12 I asked if I could have extra ranch, she said .50cents. No thank you. Handed my box and it's heavy. Take my pictures and dig in. No wonder it's heavy -mostly fries ! Barely 6 pieces of the tiniest curds. Meager sprinkling of bacon pieces and almost cold pulled pork -ew. The unfriendliest interaction with the most unappetizing poutine. No wonder locals just kept walking by without a second glance. Also 25 cents extra for extra fork and another 25 for a bag Unforgettable in the worst way. read more

First of all service was great and quick, friendly with no feelings of awkwardness. Area is lively hole in the wall, anyone saying this is a rough neighborhood hasn't been to a rough neighborhood. I'm from the northeast US and am visiting Canada for the first time, wanted to try poutine. The price was cheap and the serving was extremely large. As someone trying for the first time, I feel like this was a good experience. The food was HOT which I liked. Fries were good, gravy was actually very tasty and it was a unique combo. I will say after eating half of it I was over it. It was definitely best when the fries were crispy and not soaked. But this being my only experience with the dish, I'm expecting this is common. Overall good experience shoutout Delaware I had the classic to be true to the dish. I think I would have liked more toppings. I would try the Philly next time. read more

Got the Philly cheesesteak poutine. The toppings are good but the fries could be better. They get mushy and are not appetizing to eat after a few bites. They have any area where you can eat/stand. They provide one form and you have to pay 25 cents for another. Service is fast. read more

This literal hole in the wall is far and away the best poutine I've ever had (I got the fried chicken poutine) Portions are huge and very cheap. my only complaint is that I ate too much too fast cuz it was so good and got a tummyache. read more

I went to this place for late dinner takeout. I was lucky there is no lineup in front of the store. On that night, I ordered the Mean and Green Poutine. The gravy and fries were good in taste but the other vegetable ingredient were just lukewarm. I only ate the fries portion and I trashed most of the dish. Service was bad either. I would not recommend this place and I would stay away. read more

The fries were soggy and gross. We had to throw them out but the vegetarian gravy was good.

One of best poutine I've found and I've been to multiple cities in Canada. Plenty of different options. I did the southern one. 100% recommend and it's quick and close to all the bars. Can't beat that. read more

No trip to Canada is complete without poutine, or so I have been told. I stopped by with some friends after dinner for a second dinner (lol). I shared a mean and green poutine with my friend who is a vegetarian, and I have to say, it hit the spot. The gravy was savory, and with interesting bits of cheese curd to keep things exciting. I liked the extra vegetables on it as well! The overall temperature of the food was also good. The fries were a tad bit soggy, sadly, during my experience. No seating, so be prepared to trek a bit with your food somewhere to sit, or just be comfortable eating standing up at the side table. Service wasn't the warmest, but she got the job done. I'm glad I had this experience, but I wouldn't rave about it to my friends - but that could just be a personal preference! Definitely worth a try- YOU might enjoy it! read more

It's exactly what I'd expect a poultine space to be. It's a hole in the wall. The poultine we got was pretty flavorful. They were out of several menu items. It was a cool experience. read more

We had just arrived in Vancouver from Seattle and needed to find poutine. This little shop was just opening up, so we were first in line. The fries were hot and freshly cut and fried just for us. The gravy was the perfect blend of salty and savory and meaty. The cheese wasn't quit melted when we got our food, but after a couple of minutes it was stringy. There was enough cheese so that each bite of fires had some cheese to go with it. You've got to be looking for this little shop or else you'll miss it. It's located right on the main street, but doesn't have a traditional restaurant feel. They have a window you order from and then you wait on the sidewalk for your food to be ready. If you plan to eat on the sidewalk, they have a ledge (no seating) for you to set your food on while you eat. Maybe don't look at the menu online before you show up- they were sold out of quite a few major items when we were there (anything having hotdogs or mac n cheese and some other items I cant remember). You cant go wrong with ordering the original poutine though. read more

Mean Poutine - Order and pick up at the counter - Hot Dogs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

TL;DR awesome gravy Mean Poutine is a small restaurant with lots of options for your poutine. There's a large menu on the side, little window for you to order, and little window for you to pick up your food. I got a small thinking it'd be a little snack. I was (kinda) pleasantly surprised that the portion was huge! Definitely more of a meal sized portion than snack. This must be the perfect food for drunchies or munchies. So many toppings to choose from. read more

Rating this as a fast-food stand for a quick bite. With this said, the workers were nice and quick with getting out the food. Service was the best part of this establishment. Vibe was pretty cool! If you're looking for some quick and tasty street food, this is a good place to go. Presentation of the food was not superb but not expecting this to be incredible as it's a fast-food type option. The food tasted good but about an hour later myself and our group of 4 felt it's weight. Worth it but it's heavy. We got the mean and green, fried chicken and chili poutines. All different but similar quality. They throw some fries in a container then spoon whatever toppings on and that's it. Overall, I'd maybe get it again if I was in town to show others but it wouldn't be part of my regular 'going out'. Great service, decent food. read more

Mean Poutine - The Mexicana - Hot Dogs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I have had better poutine. I mean its great that they open late. Not the best poutine. Its for people who just had a hangover and is super hungry. Or someone who is just super hungry after a party. So its just fries with some cheese curb poured with gravy on top. The cheese curb didn't melt into the fries. Not a fan. Meant for people need of food after a night of clubbing or drinking. Place is small and no place to sit. Its basically a stall. You have to eat it while standing. read more

I stood in the rain to eat here so it must have been worth it. I asked a local standing in front of me what the best poutine to order and she recommended the original - fries, brown gravy and cheese curd. She was right. The fries were freshly cooked , the gravy rich and salty and the cheese curd - well, curdy. I left wet, cold but surprisingly not miserable. That's what a belly full of delicious poutine will do. read more

This is by far the best poutine I have ever had, including poutine places in Montreal and Toronto. I think the key is that the fries are fried fresh on the spot, and they are judicious with their gravy so that the fries aren't soggy or smothered in sauce and thus overpowered. We got the mean supreme ($10), which includes brown gravy, cheese curds, beef, bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and grilled onions and peppers, and a healthy sprinkling of green onions on top that added freshness and crunch. The meat was savory and cooked well and the toppings were plentiful. Only downside is that it is basically a food truck so no seating and you have to find a place nearby to eat your poutine while the fries are still hot and crispy! read more

We SEARCHED for the best poutine and this place came to the top of my search list my S/O didn't trust my information so googled himself and got the same place so it must be legit right. I have had similar poutines so it wasn't anything standout but it was good and they had options I haven't seen at other establishments like the veggie option which I really enjoyed. The standard poutine was everything you'd expect of the Canadian specialty and if you can't visit Canada without trying this stable I recommend this place. It is a to go only restaurant with a stand up bar counter on the left side, but with so many parks close by I recommend just grabbing one and heading over to one or you could just sit in your car like many others. Make sure you grab some extra napkins you'll need them it's loaded. Give em a try if you're in the area it won't disappoint. read more
