Small space, but seating is nicely arranged: 7 four seat tables & a high 5 seater bar along the window facing Michigan. Food is placed on the counter with the register on trays for you to pick up & take to your chosen table. I thought i ordered the gyro poutine, but the canadian way was on the receipt, which was seen next to the register when the food was picked up. (I wasn't asked if I wanted a copy & I didn't request a copy like I normally do bc for some reason I expected an email or txt, but I got nothing.) I was disappointed that I didn't get what I wanted so that pretty much made me indifferent to my meal. The burgers all come with fries, so I wound up dumping my fries into the poutine.

Potato Pit is a cozy little spot located in Dearborn on Michigan Ave. There's a handful of tables to sit inside and enjoy your goodness You order at counter & wait for your goodness to be hand crafted. We ordered the Original Poutine - amazing hand cut fries & the perfect ratio of melted cheese curds to solid topped with yummy beef gravy. The juicy chicken was cooked to perfection. I washed it all down with a carrot beet ginger cold press juice. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Menu (Mar 2024)

It's nice to see another poutine place open up after La Fork closed down. I always found their poutine to be underwhelming, so coming into Potato Pit I was hoping for something better. This was for lunch on a weekday and there was a steady stream of customers ordering to-go. Poutine is one of those dishes that you really have to eat on the spot to get the best experience, so I guess those other customers don't really care about freshness too much? At any rate, I ordered the classic. Canadian Way Poutine ($13.99) - The fries are good, crispy where the gravy hasn't touched, soft and soaked with gravy in the places that are covered. They are fried to order so everything is fresh. The gravy has a decent richness and is not too salty. This is a good sign, since over-salting the gravy is a major problem I've noticed with other poutine in Metro Detroit. It's served hot and steaming when poured over the fries and curds. The curds are the weakest part of Potato Pit's poutine rendition. They are served directly from the fridge resulting in most of them being cold even when the piping hot gravy soaks them. They cool down the gravy like ice so that the entire dish is only slightly warm rather than piping hot. Unlike what some other reviews state, the curds are not fresh and have absolutely zero squeak. On the plus side, they are pretty generous with the quantity of cheese curds added and the portion size is decent. Unfortunately, $14 is still very expensive for what you get. It is nice to see an actual poutinerie on this side of the river. I think the current 3.5 rating is pretty appropriate, given the food and pricing. I personally was debating between a 3 and a 4. While I wouldn't go again mainly due to cost, it's one of the better poutines you can get without crossing over to Windsor. Edit: Be sure to ask for a receipt and double check how much they charge. There is something wrong with their POS. I specifically left a $1 tip on the machine (it's a counter service establishment) - I even wrote down the total it displayed on the screen in my notes. My credit card bill is showing a 10% tip instead of $1. Not a big difference, but it's a difference nonetheless.

Customer service was great, place is clean, the food was hot however it was not the poutine I expected. It was very mid in my opinion. We ordered 3 different poutines and none of them did it for us.

The poutine at this place is legit! The original stuff is amazing but there is a whole menu of toppings - steak, shrimp, nacho cheese, veggies...pretty much whatever you want. If you're a burger fan, don't miss the halloumi burger. Magical. Great spot for lunch. They have a lunch combo with a poutine/potato bowl and "refresher" (flavored lemonade/juice...very fresh btw) for $15. Also check out some hidden gems...fish & chips, funnel fries for dessert, and fried veggies (pickles, cauliflower, etc.).

Didn't know what we wanted for dinner but seen Potato Pit and Juice Bar on Social Media n decided to try it!!! OMG am I glad we did!! We ordered through DoorDash the food was still warm when it arrived, it also arrived on time!! But the food was beyond what I expected, we ordered the Gyro Poutine Baked Potato that had the baked potato that was chopped up into nice size chunks, plenty of gyro meat, melted cheese curds, brown gravy, green onions, diced tomatoes, and sour cream! This was soooo freakin delicious, I didn't waste no time eating it b4 I decided I wanted to leave my review (lol) my granddaughter ordered the Buffalo Chicken Poutine with grilled chicken, brown gravy, buffalo sauce, creamy ranch n green onions. She texted me stating "this is sooo good NaNa" Needless to say I'm sure we'll b ordering again, hopefully soon!! I also ordered a Hibiscus & Berries drink n that too was super tasty!! These bowls NEVER had a chance !! If you haven't tried this place, definitely do cuz if not ur missing out!

The first time I had poutine was not a great experience so I went into this slightly wary but I am happy to say that Potato Pit completely rid any wariness I had. I had some regular poutine to start, it was fresh, hot and tasty. Also tried the funnel cake fries and boy oh boy I could have ate those all night. The space itself was very cute with some adorable murals on the wall and you can see right into the kitchen space. I ordered a build your own bowl to go and the portion size was well worth the money. I even had enough left over for the next morning to cook in an egg with it for breakfast. The owner was actually the person who rung me up and he was very nice and felt like he was genuinely happy to have us there.

Canadian Way Poutine Bowl

Food was okay. Food portion good size. It can be shared by two people unless you're hungry. Wasn't busy when I went. Food service area was clean. Only gave 4 stars because it's not the same as the really Canadian version of poutine. Bring Canadian and living in Michigan. This was the closest place to get your craving out the way then driving over to Canada.

Buffalo chicken and classic Canadian poutine.
Mrs C.

I'm a picky person and I've eaten a lot of poutine. I kept seeing this place on Instagram so we took a drive down to Dearborn to check it out. As we arrived, midafternoon on a Saturday, my husband said he hoped we wouldn't be the only people there - we were the only people there. I ordered the classic Canadian poutine my husband got the Buffalo chicken poutine. It was freshly made to order and it was really good. Exactly what we expected. The guy working there was friendly and the decor was nice and clean. Bathrooms spotless. The only thing I would change is to not have the table cleaning rag on display and I wasn't that jazzed about my $5 mint lemonade. 5 stars are for perfect poutine in a perfectly nice restaurant.

A golden standard for Italian sandwiches in this neighborhood…read more Buy them by the layer... try the 18 if ya have a empty belly and want half for later haha. Grab a dmall thing of antipasta or pasta salad and a small thing of mixed olives and peppers from the salad bar. The perfect lunch. Also after going here for 39 years, i realized i can also just buy mortadella by the pound. Mortadella is hard to come by without taking a 30 minute drive so this was a late revelation for me. Walk in, stand in front of the counter, tell em what ya want, wait 2 minutes and walk to the counter with your sandwich to pay.

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious. The Service is ultra friendly. And the atmosphere feels like and Italian Deli-Market. I recommend it.

The food is thoughtful and complex, and unfortunately, that's just not for me. I can see why people enjoy it so much, though. Service was okay. Basically a teen at the register playing on her phone and a cook in the back. I wasn't really offered much of a greeting or an intro to the menu. It's a very limited menu as far as sandwiches are concerned (only six options.) I ordered The Superior minus kimchi with the spicy mayo on the side. I don't believe the menu mentions it, but the sandwich did come with a handful of fries. I took a seat in their cute dining area. It's decorated very nicely. It was a little chilly, though. I noticed a couple tables with trash on them that sat that way during my entire visit (all the while the cashier was on her phone.) Definitely room for improvement there. My sandwich was good; a little sweet for my liking. What I disliked was that there were tiny onions grilled with the steak, and those onions are not on the menu. I'd already wasted my lunch hour finding this spot, figuring out what to order and waiting for my food so I didn't bother saying anything or asking for a re-do. I just ate a few pieces of the steak and packed the rest up for my husband to have as leftovers. The quality of the steak was great and the fries were excellent. So, if you are all about limited menus and lots of ingredients, this might be the spot for you. It wasn't for me.

The food here is really good, nice size portions and priced lower than I would have expected. I got the Rachel, AKA Carol's Temptation, and local friend, Yelper Amy B, got the Uncle Louie's BBQie, a brisket sandwich. Both of us agreed they were good hearty sandwiches that we had trouble finishing. They offered us the combo version, which gets you an individual bag of Better Made brand chips and a soft drink with free refills for $2.50. Thanks to Yelper Al P for another great local recommendation. If you're in the south part of the metro area, he knows the best value eats in the area. A solid 4 stars. So you ask? If it's so good, why not 5 stars? A few recommendations for the owners: * Take out a table. It's just too crowded. * The chairs are very uncomfortable. * Call out customer pick-up numbers once when the whole order is ready instead of once for the drink & chips and again for the sandwich. Dont make your customers have to get up twice. * Make sure the cheese is melted. Mine wasn't.

Perfect. 4 stars because I just feel like the Reuben could have used a bit more flavor somehow. It was a little dry today. The bread was good, the meat was lean and thinly sliced, but I think we needed more punch from the sauerkraut and dressing. Still, will come back many times for years to come! Happy to have this in the area.

There's a small lot but you can park right there. It's right off of Michigan Ave so you really can't miss it but it is very small so you may not know what you're looking for. Just keep an eye out for it. They do have plenty of seats but it's not a full sit-down situation so I don't make it seem like you can bring a table of 20 in . They do have seats to sit in. There are countertops you can stand at but this is more likely a quick bite or to-go kind of situation. Even though there are people who do come in for the lunch break. But it's just basically tables and it's not a lot of frills or bells and whistles but it's still enough to have a bite to eat. The customer service is super nice and I was very taken care of and everybody was super friendly. As far as that goes that is something that has no issue . I ordered and it came pretty fast within 10 minutes so that was good. The service is quick but when I went it wasn't overly packed so that probably helped. Still it was good service and swift service as well . NY club - it was actually really good. It was very large and it got me right for lunch time for quite some time. It was put together very well and it didn't fall apart as soon as I picked it up. Turkey was warm and the sandwich was put together really well and the bacon made it pop . Cajun fries - the fries were crinkle cut and they came cajun seasoned to perfection . Would I go back? I sure would. Good customer service, solid product. Next time I go I'll probably end up getting a corned beef like I wanted to in the first place... There are plenty of options own and not just a sandwich shop... it may not be Coney Island type variety but it does have plenty of variety !

I am not sure if they produce mass quantities of products. Some of the parties were pretty to look at. I didn't buy any because it was so late in the day and I know it's would be a little stale by then. So it looks nice, clean, hospitable staff, not really knowledgeable. They do offer cappuccinos and espressos in addition to fresh brewed coffees. Gonna have to set my alarm to get out earlier to try one of these pastries fresh!
