    I'm sorry that we stopped for a fry. The person working was clearly unorganized and not prepared…read morefor the business day. She was clearly preoccupied with a personal phone call. She took our order ,very simple , two poutines nothing fancy. She was out of other menu items (Monday opening) but had an excuse she had to go into Calgary to get them. Once the order was taken after a few minutes proceeded to tell us she was out of propane and had to go get another tank and install it. This was the beginning of the opening of the business, how could she not know. We were not in a big hurry so fair enough we would wait for out freshly made poutine. NOT!! The fries spelling correctly were at least a day old refried. I know this because one of my jobs was a fry truck attendant back in my early years. So my knowledge of a freshly cooked fries is fairly accurate. I beg and implore you as consumers of decent food keep driving. Save your hard earned money and spend it where the person serving is invested in her job and has a moral obligation to serve decent food. If you are the owner please revisit your work ethics and practices. If the owner reads this please take time coach and observe your staff she's not the one. This happened yesterday 100520 just after opening we might have been her first customers of the day. I know I could have returned the food too the window but I felt like her lack of care to prepare and present decent food would have been met with less then any concern for doing the right thing.

    We booked the Spud Mobeel for an event at work. We had 180 people and 1.5 hrs to get them feed…read more Steve from Spud Mobeel was so accommodating! He created a customer menu for us, showed up early provided the drinks. Their team worked their guts out. The service was awesome, the food was even better (Spiral Dog ROCKED). We were actually concerned that based on the 1 item per person only that we would have some folks still hungry, but nope. The portions were big, everyone left stuffed. I would 100% book them for an event again

    I love cheese. I once was arrested for Kung Fu fighting in the street defending cheese's honour…read moreagainst a person that didn't like cheese. I'm now on probation under the terms that I not be within 20 feet of a ninja star or Bruce Lee movie. I also love fries. Being derived from the greatest vegetable ever, we have chemistry together. A potato said he loved me. So I ate him. I'm not a fan of gravy. Never have been. But gravy is essential to the "Heart attack in a box" that I had. Poutine. With bacon. O-M-G or whatever the kids say these days. It was awesome. Fresh-made fries. Quebec cheese curds. Vegetarian gravy. What? Vegetarian gravy? That's not gravy. That's the blood of innocent vegetables. I wanted beef gravy but didn't have a choice in this case. The veggie version was still good, however it didn't match up to the beef version. The poutine was pretty big. They didn't skimp on anything. A bunch of fries with cheese curds scattered throughout, topped with thick cut bacon goodness and just enough gravy to meld it all together and melt the cheese. I've found the meaning of life. It's cheese. If you don't agree, I'll have to call you Satan and throw crucifixes at you.

    Poutine for our first meal in Calgary! This spot was located down the street from where we were…read morestaying, so we decided to walk over and grab takeout so we could eat while resting up after a day of travel. We ordered a ton of items to take back to our large group, but everything came out pretty quickly. I opted for a large Crispy Southwest since I was craving something heavy, and it definitely hit the spot. The jalapenos were quite spicy though, so I picked out the extra large slices to give away and just kept the small pieces in for myself. The large size was a decent amount of food, and I had a tiny portion left over which I ended up snacking on later on in the trip. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for a quick casual meal and some interesting poutine flavor options. I've only ever had "regular" poutine before, so it was cool to read the different flavors they had and try one for myself.

    We were visiting Calgary and obviously being in Canada, we had to get some Poutine! The Big Cheese…read morehad a location near our AirBnB so we decide to get it for our first meal of the trip. The interior is a bit run down, with the wall paper ripping in some areas, and the seats looking a bit ragged. However we were just taking to-go so it wasn't a huge deal to us! We had a pretty large order for our group, but the staff handled it well! We only waited around 10 minutes to get our food, and they labeled everything so it was easy to pass out to everyone! I think the flavor combinations were interesting, but I ended up enjoying the traditional Poutine the most! The black pepper beef was also good, and I liked how it gave the meal a little more protein, but otherwise the rest were very similar bases of cheese curds, gravy and fries. If you're looking for a casual quick dinner, these are located around the city!
