    This Canadian is finally trying some American Poutine Gilbert Feastival!
    Say M.

    Let me preface this review by saying I am Canadian AF and if you cut me open I'd probably bleed cheese curds and poutine gravy. Finally got to try American Poutine Co by catching them at Gilbert Feastival. I was super excited because I love that they've brought poutine, a dirty Canadian staple, to the desert. Unfortunately have a few critiques on their poutine which ultimately missed the mark for me! Poutine is pretty much a delicious SLOP of fries, drowning in gravy with cheese curds that are squeaky bouncy fresh, yet also softened from the piping hot gravy. For me there just wasn't enough gravy. Next, it wasn't hot enough to adequately soften the fries OR cheese curds. Overall, this made the texture of the whole thing all wrong - as it was too crispy and dry, cheese curds were cold and hard, and there were a lot of uncoated, hard fries at the bottom. I'm not sure if they choose to make it this way since a sloppy slightly-mushy poutine isn't maybe what Americans customers think they want. But that's what makes real poutine amazing - it's a sloppy dirty mess of deliciousness and when you get down to the bottom of the tub the fries should still be sitting in gravy! Maybe next time I could ask for extra - but I'm still glad American Poutine Co exists, and I would definitely give em another shot to try and win this canadian glutton's heart.

    I often drive up to Tempe for school related activities and I never go without stopping at at least 3 places to eat. I went to The American Poutine on a whim since I realized it was a hot minute since I'd had the taste of delicious gravy soaked fries in my mouth. I got the original flavor, as I'm a creature of habit and need someone to gas me up before I venture out of my comfort zone. It was served in a nice sustainable paper/cardboard box (+1 environment yay!). Perfect amount of gravy and the curds were très bon. I'd give this place a five if it weren't for the crispness of the fries. Typically, I prefer a light crunch with my poutine but the fries were on the heavier side of the crunchy scale. Nonetheless, delicious! And the guy working there was nice Photos are edited with VSCO or Lightroom and may not be true to color lol

    Mmmm. Gravy .......

    My wife had the bacon poutine and loved it. They asked her if she needed more gravy so the6could give her a side of it. Nice that they didn't skimp, and she said it was awesome sauce!

    Awesome food if you love Poutine. A bit salty on some occasions, but never a disappointment for good poutine. Staff were all friendly and expedient to get your order right and ready to go.

    I've lived in Phx for 4.5 years now. Moved from Canada and have yet to find a place that serves authentic poutine! I've been craving it for sooooo long and this place hit the nail on the head! I got the original poutine because I wanted to be able to compare it to what I know from back home. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Delicious thick gravy that was so hot it melted the cheese curds, and crispy fries! Will definitely back!

    Yet again I have found another hidden gem in this food truck. I will say I stepped out of my comfort zone trying this place because I'd never had Poutine not was I really sure what it was. Yeah yeah lame right? After talking with the women taking orders and asking some questions I decided on the Buffalo Chicken Poutine. Really great flavor with just enough kick to it. I couldn't finish the entire thing because it was such a huge portion so I shared with a coworker. Goes to show trying new things can be very tasty.

    I love their food!!! The cheese curds are so fresh and amazing. I've had many different dishes and every one has been amazing. My favorite dish is the veggie works. Just wish they were closer to me or came to the west side more!!!

    Came in with the family for poutine. Ordered chili fries, buffalo fries, original poutine and the chicken tenders/fries box for the kids. I asked the girl working how big the chicken order was and was told it was 4 strips and lots of fries. The menu says "juicy, breaded, 100% chicken". The order came out with 4 dried up tiny little nuggets. I checked to see if we got the wrong order and was told that they didn't have the strips and are substituting the nuggets. Not sure why this info wasn't given up front. 1 strip would probably equal all 4 of these nuggets. And they definitely weren't juicy 100% chicken. Had to go to Del Taco after to fill the kids up.

    I'm soooooo down!!!!  Team veggie  Team fried chicken

    This was a very nice time. I enjoyed the service and the staff Was amazing. I went late afternoon which was nice, cause it was quite and a quit warm environment. I'd recommend this place to all my friends. I'll be back!

    Not only does the food suck (Had it at the Scottsdale Beer Fest) but just had the driver of the truck cut us off where we had to slam on our brakes and swerve. My kids started crying from getting scared. Would never recommend this truck to anyone.

Yeowch! At least I burned off my food while trying to balance? Anywho, this place is located right across from Barrio Queen. At 6PM in November, the Barrio Queen actually looks like true royalty with her bright neon sign lighting the way to hungry patrons looking for a bite to eat. There were 10+ trucks this particular Friday night, lots of people were in attendance to dine, and seating was a headache. We managed to snag a table right next to The Maine Lobster Lady's food truck at the last second. I wish I had known about this luck because I would have ordered the bisque! Oh well. Maybe next time.

I almost went with the Classic, but saw someone with a BBQ Brisket potato and instantly changed my mind. When I took it back into the office and opened it up, at least 5 of my co workers came over to tell me how good it smelled. The brisket portion is generous and tender - and the cheese, sour cream, and green onions are the perfect classic compliment. It was swimming in melted butter, which might be a negative for some. But not for me! I was tempted to give 4 stars because a $10 potato is still pricey, no matter how delicious, but the girls on the truck were awesome and service was quick. I will definitely order again.

(Motivational pep talks obviously aren't my strong point). Literally, my dream come true on wheels. My friends and family joke that in my last life I lived through the potato famine which is why I'm so obsessed with this starch and I really can't argue with that. If you're a fan of the baked potatoes from Jason's Deli (shoutout to the Plain Jane) you'll love these. The potato itself is pretty hefty - it's not like the usual sizes you get as a side dish and the pictures on here make it look pretty tiny as well. In person, these taters mean business, especially with all the toppings they add to make it as tall as your face. This is definitely something you hold tenderly and safely with both hands according to OSHA standards. I got the Original combined with the Cheese and Broccoli because the broccoli totally offsets everything else calorie-wise. The potato isn't dry or hard, but soft like you're cutting into a fresh warm pancake with your fork. When you look down at your place, your tater is bathing in a warm bed of melted butter. It's so perfect, so beautiful ... GET IN MAH BELLY. If you're not a cheese wiz fan, I recommend you don't get anything that has the melted cheese - just ask for the shredded. I've been known to eat an ungodly amount of potatoes in one sitting but I hit a brick wall 3/4 into this with all the toppings on it. I highly recommend the Brisket baked potato if you like a spices (not spicy) in your food. Great price point, totally recommend if you ever see them!

When I first walked up to the truck, I saw the menu and was surprised by what the prices were. 12 dollars for chicken tenders, 10-12 dollars for waffles, 8 dollars for wings, and even 5 dollars for their special "ghetto seasoning." But I figured what the heck, I'll support a small business and pay a bit more for what I assumed was going to be good food considering their rating on Yelp. I ordered their chicken and waffles and when I was handed the food, I honestly thought it was a joke. I paid 22 dollars to a not so happy cashier for 4 chicken wings, 1 small waffle, and 1 small packet of syrup. This portion could be the same size as what you would get in a kids meal. And the worst part was that the wings tasted like wings you could get from WingStop. I honestly was disappointed because I was looking forward to having some tasty comfort food. I really hope in the future they adjust their prices to match the quality of their food. I would avoid unless you're looking for overpriced, average food.
