Good snack place! Relaxed atmosphere. The regular poutine was good but the one with meat sauce was even better! Solid choice

The Michigan hot dog was okay but it was simply tomato sauce with ground beef on top of the hot dog. The maple tart was delicious but could be a bit less sweet. The poutine wasn't anything special but it was good. read more

Snack Bar Saint-Jean - Fast Food Near Me - Quebec City, Quebec

This was realistically the only spot on a Sunday night after midnight that was reliable to be open. I understand it was a holiday the next day so maybe that's why other places closed early, or maybe just because Quebec is not that much of a night-life city (particularly near the old town area). I'm not too sure, but what I do know is that we ended up here as the last result, and the food was not good. It was very overpriced for shitty quality to say the least. My burger was very mid, and my friend hated his poutine especially at the price point that he paid. They did have a clean bathroom to use which was a plus, but overall I would not return here unless I was starving and desperate late at night. read more

Note my rating is for the regular poutine only !!! Came here twice when I was in Québec city last week because it was on of the only places open at 3am . To note While there are a lot of cool pubs in QC that stay open late most of their kitchens close at 11pm so please keep that in mind . After doing a quick google search I found this place which was popping early Sunday morning at 3am . I ordered a petit poutine and it was everything I had hoped for and more . After trying this place I truly believe that poutine in QC is better than Montréal as this place is probably at best mediocre for QC and yet was better than any of the highly recommended places I tried in Montréal including La Banquiste and even the coveted Foie Gras Poutine at Au Pied de Cochon. Other tips ( not reflected in my review / rating ) - I would avoid ordering any of the sandwiches ( including the bacon cheeseburger ) . They are a bit overpriced and small . Also if you still want to order something like the club sandwich make sure to arrive well before 10pm as it is not offered after 10. I was informed that their menu changes drastically for late night dining and is quite limited . read more

Operates like a fast food restaurant in that you order at the counter then grab a table to eat from. We came for late night one night as we were craving some poutine. FYI if you do, they increase the price very slightly for late night. Line moved fast and we were able to pretty quick. Overall the food is ... fine? Probably there are better poutine places and definitely there are better burger places but for late night it's fine, no complaints read more

If you're hung over, or if you're wanting a spot to hang out late - this is your scene. Burgers, fries, poutines of your cravings. + soda and or beer. AND the place is open til the early hours of the morning. TV is broadcasting sports. The area is in a somewhat touristy area. The street is lined up with food places from high end to take out. If you're looking for a greasy food fix, this is your place. Canadian take on fries drowning in gravy. It's a win! If you're looking for etiquette and classy French Quebec cuisine - go up the street a few doors. But if you want that downtown type French Quebec food- this is your spot. read more

So happy to find a late spot eats in Quebec City. Open until 4am! Menu is a mix of burgers, poutine, fried foods, onion rings are huge and look amazing! Super quick turnaround in kitchen. Decent food, friendly staff, good prices. Can even grab a Molson beer with your meal. Will definitely be back when hungry late at night! read more

I got recommended to this spot as one of the local's favorite spot to enjoy some poutine. And I have to admit, I was skeptical about it after trying poutines from numerous chains, thinking it may not be my thing. But wow! I really enjoyed the poutine from this spot! I got the Dulton Poutine under their Les Classiques!list. It was delicious! It tasted like American chili on top of a regular poutine. The onion, ground beef, tomato, cheese, and fries were so flavorful! The wow factor goes especially towards the cheese! I was surprised how different cheese curds tasted compared to the other places. A nice snack accompanied with a simple Canadian beer. A can of beer is $3.50 with purchase! I also got the sugar pie (tarte au sucre maison). Note that I am someone that doesn't go for sweets, and has a high sensitivity towards sweets. I like mildly sweet things (0% boba sweetness level) if I had to go to dessert spots. The sugar pie (tarte au sucre maison) is something that tasted like pure sugar in a pie crust! I'll NOT recommend the sugar pie! It tasted like a pie filled with caramelized sugar! Pure sugar at it's finest! If you are into eating pure sugar, this might be for you, but I would highly recommend to avoid this item if you're a normal human! read more

Note: My star rating is for the poutine only. The one thing I like about this place is the vibe. It's just really chill and it's a great place to drink a beer and have a poutine. Plus, the staff made an impression and are friendly. The poutine looks impressive and it's decent. I found it a little salty for my taste though. The fries weren't for me either. They may be for other people, as other's seem to love this place. I really prefer the poutine at Frites Alore. I liked the smaller fries that are crispier. You also get a huge portion. Which some may think is a positive. I think it's a little too much , even though it's a cool visual, as I'm the type to clean his plate. Also, fries are the type of food where left overs won't taste good. They do have other things on the menu. So based on the atmosphere it may be worth a try. I may the other stuff another try if I have the chance. Again all my QC reviews are from PreCovid in Feb 2020. So things may have changed. read more

Hi friends! If you've noticed, I've including information about outdoor seating - given the times we live in, that's important to know! It does not factor into my rating of the food. Patio There are two tiny tables outside the snack bar. It's great place to people watch! There are more tables to eat at inside the snack bar - after you order and pay at the counter. Food I love poutine and having grown up in Montreal, I know my poutine! I was happy with the poutine from Saint Jean Snack Bar. The potatoes were thick, fresh cut and nicely fried to a golden brown. The sauce was golden brown, light umami in flavour, vegetarian and the right consistency - not too thick or thin. We got a good amount of cheese curds but they weren't as squeaky as I like. I wanted Jalapeño poppers but sadly, they were out. So, we had the macaroni and cheese croquettes instead. They tasted exactly like Kraft Dinner deep fried into crunchy triangles - yum! Visit again? Yes! If I'm in the area, I would definitely eat here again. I love casual snack bars and a good poutine with vegetarian gravy is always a yes for me! read more

I ordered the poutine steak haché which means they serve the traditional poutine of gravy, cheese curds and french fries with what I thought would be ground beef. In stead, it's sliced hamburger. The poutine overall was of high quality, which is why it costs a bit more than a chain fast food poutinerie (yes I think I just made that word up). The fries were awesome: fresh cut and fried per order. The gravy was typical poutine gravy and the cheese curds were super fresh, with that squeaky texture any curd head loves. I was expecting the burger to be ground and not sliced and it wasn't seasoned, which made it a bit bland and that's why I can't really give it more stars. Had I ordered some of the other varieties on the menu, that might not have been the case. I guess I just need to come back. The petite portion was right size and I probably could have ordered a mini. Food came out fairly fast, considering there were 20 of us. Overall a good eatery with service until 5am for those who want to avoid a hangover. :) read more

We came here for dinner - about 10 min walk from our hotel so it was very convenient. Also we were super excited to try poutines for the first time. Though the restroom looked very small and run down from the outside, the interior is actually pretty large, with cute wooden tables and chairs. You order at the counter as soon as you enter the restaurant and get seated anywhere you like. When the food is ready, they call your name and you go pick it up. We ordered the Italian poutine and croquettes with Mac and cheese. A regular sized poutine was sufficient for two to share - the dish comes with fries, Italian meat & sauce on the top and curd. I didn't know what to expect of a poutine, but I wasn't overly impressed. I thought it was okay, and I normally don't like French fries a whole lot, so this dish was too much of it, leaving me with an uneasy stomach because of the oil. My 2 year old likes the croquettes, but he didn't finish them entirely. read more

Great all night snack food ... very cool laid staff. Pretty decent menu to get something off of...

Dinner #2...ok I guess more like a snack. A heavy and yummy snack at that! Our friends came here the night before because apparently it's open super late! I can see why this would be a hit for the drunk crowd and hungry crowds. Very hip little joint with wooden furniture. You order at the cashier then find a table and wait for your number to be called. I ordered the side of fries with the meat sauce...still not sure what the actual name is. Other ordered the Fried Mac N Cheese and different types of Poutine. Portions here are HUGE! Don't be fooled by the size of the tray, they will stack it to the highest it can go! My order of fries and meat sauce were AMAZING! It reminded me of a Sloppy Joe sauce over fries. I WAS thinking of ordering the burger, but based on other reviews, I was too scared. Besides, can't screw up an order of Fries! hehe. read more

We were here around 3pm for late lunch. The place was empty when we were there. The staff were friendly & poiite. We got a mac n' cheese burger, grilled cheese sandwich, a small poutine, & a soda. The mac n' cheese burger was delicious. It's basically a burger with a "mac n' cheese" patties. The grilled cheese was just decent, nothing special. It taste just like any other typical grilled cheese sandwich. The poutine was good but not the best. All total, we spent about $21. Portion is a bit small for anyone with a big appetite read more

Great food great atmosphere. This place has awesome poutine. A nice variety if you wanna try different things. If you just want to try something I would definitely suggest the mini. If you come with an appetite then choose the petite or regular. Burgers were kinda small. But it may just be a Canadian thing. Either way good food good service. read more

Really delicious junk food. We had a poutine, hot dog du lac, jalapeno poppers, and, no joke, deep-fried kraft dinner. The kids went crazy for the kraft dinner. Everything was really tasty, and just a bit gross (in a good way). The poppers appeared to be homemade and were the best of the bunch. Although we were here for an early dinner with the kids, I could see this being a classic late night spot after the bar. read more

Good simple food. Their menu was a little daunting, especially since you pay and order at the counter. Felt a little silly staring at it for ages trying to figure out what to get. Ended up getting a cheeseburger, poutine and deep fried pickles. The poutine was pretty good - pretty much on par with what I usually get in Montreal, and the cheeseburger was decent. However, the deep fried pickles were damn delicious. Would love to have them again. Cool atmosphere too. I liked the tables and the chairs. Worth checking out if you're looking for a quick and tasty bite to eat in the area. read more

Friendly, smiling, helpful staff, some of whom like to joke around with the pick-up-your-order microphone. (I'm eagerly awaiting for them to start rapping out pick-up calls.) Tables and seating are a tree-huggers nightmare and not exactly comfy (seats are solid, squared-off blocks of lumber, tables are 4-inch thick slabs with bark), but they certainly have that: "we've got so much wood in Canada, je ne sais quoi...". The phone number, of which they're very proud, is 522-GRAS (i.e. 522-FAT). This is like a cheat-on-my-diet hotline. (Sing with the hip-hop voice I know you have locked in your head) "Holla-for-the-hell-with-my diiiiieeeeet". Smoked Meat Poutine - squeaky cheese curds (this is what you want), slathered in tasty gravy, with a good handful of shaved smoked meat. And (*gasp*) ketchup packets are available to the right of the pick-up counter. (Use this discreetly... lest you get eye-rolls from the local kids. But, dammit, I needed something to cut through the GRAS triple-punch). The Pepsi-sponsored water chiller is in front of the pick-up counter, back against the wall. You're gonna need something to wash down your hunger busting weapon of choice. Open till 5am. Bon appetit. Yo. read more

Menu was kind of confusing, but once you figure out what you want it's not too bad. Don't expect much help from the staff, maybe because we don't speak French but they pretty much ignored our questions and just responded with "well what do you want to eat?" Got a cheeseburger, regular poutine, and a beer. Burger was good, about average and tasted more fast-food than home-cooked. Poutine was the worst i've had in Québec, but was still OK (at least it had the squeaky cheese). Maybe it was because we were there so late at night that we got such poor service. Seats are the most uncomfortable blocks of wood my ass has ever touched. I guess it's to keep people from loitering. read more

This is the worse burger (if you even call it a burger place) ever. I thought Mcdonald has small crappy burger. This one wins it all.

Had lunch here and ordered poutine with diced up hot dog on the top. A local fav it appears. The hot dog was cold and could have used some grill time, the fries greasy but the cheese was very good. I ordered using my broken French and pointing at pictures but they acted like they did not understand what I wanted. When my order was ready they only called out the number in French. Not a huge deal since the place was empty. I paid $12 for a handful of fries, cheese and a cold diced up hotdog - I would pass. read more
