Got to try Urban Poutine during food truck Thursday in Crystal City. Ordering was quick and the food was out in a timely manner. Fries actually held up for the first few minutes but the gravy slowly seeped in causing the fries to become mushy but flavor was still there. The cheese curds were a great compliment however they weren't melted enough. The red wine braised short rib was very tender and flavorful. Just not enough of it. Overall flavor of Urban Poutine was pretty good for a food truck. I just wish the quantity match the price especially for $11. read more

Urban Poutine - Red Wine Braised Short Rib - Food Trucks Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I had poutine for the very first time at Urban Poutine, a food truck in Washington, DC. I visited this food truck when they stopped by the State Department / C Street stop, though they do roam all around the city. For their location on any given day, I'd suggest visiting either their Twitter page or the Food Truck Fiesta app. Poutine is awesome - I had no idea what it was until I had some, but it's apparently comprised of French fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy and it originates from the Canadian province of Quebec. "Cheese curd" sounds gross, but it was actually fantastic! It was pretty greasy, but perfectly tasty and filling. I loved this poutine experience and think Urban Poutine does a great job. I'd definitely visit this food truck again in the future! read more

Fries drowning in gravy and cheese, what could be better?! I ordered the house poutine which also had andouille sausage. Even after walking back to my office, the fries were crispy and hot. Can't wait for them to come back! read more

Pretty solid poutine. We got the house and short rib for poutine and really enjoyed the how melty cheese curds were. The struggle I have with this review and how many stars to give is because they're a food truck and I guess I was expecting better. I love food trucks. For some odd reason I enjoy the experience of it and love the food that comes out. For the most part food trucks are higher in price but their quality and unique items always makes it worth it for me. At Urban poutine their poutine was good and average but when considering how limited their availability was its makes it difficult to justify the drive to find it. Their twitter would be the best place for their schedule and they are closed most holidays and weekends. Hours seems to be from 11:00 am - 1:30 pm. read more

Always wanted to try poutine, but never had the opportunity. Today was my lucky day. The first thing I noticed was that by the time I made the short 5 minute walk back to my office, my poutine was cold. Cold cheese is cool: cold fries and cold gravy... not so much. Despite not being fresh and hot, it was pretty tasty. However, I think I got too many of those shriveled, crunchy, burnt-end fries. The first few bites were like chewing a pine cone, sticking me in the roof of my mouth and such. Once I got those out of the way though, the remainder of the fries were good. The gravy was excellent, with the perfect balance of saltiness and flavor. The cheese curds were great, but I would have enjoyed them even more were they not merely chewy cheese chunks hanging out on top of my fries. I've read that the gravy and fries are supposed to be super hot to melt the cheese curds, creating this creamy, salty, ooey-gooey amazingness. While each of the flavors were individually there, I would have liked them to come together in rich cheese-and-gravy harmony. Urban Poutine fell short there, but not enough to deter me from coming back to try the (hopefully hot!) shortrib poutine. read more

Urban Poutine - Good, but not hot enough - Food Trucks Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

The Family Jewels is a killer sandwich, best of their best with meatballs over a brat in lovely gravy: a glorious messy delight!

Poutine is Quebec's gift to the world, and Urban Poutine is one of my favorite food trucks in the city. The french fries are deep fried in peanut oil (similar to five guys) and the cheese curds and gravy are delicious and authentically Quebecois. The last time I visited the food truck they had taken bacon off the menu, which I hope they add back. My major complaint about this food truck is that it rarely comes to DC (as opposed to Virginia) and, more importantly, that they sometimes claim that they'll be at a certain spot on a given day and then not show up. I recently visited Farragut Square to eat at this truck after seeing them post on Twitter, but the truck was gone by 1:00. read more

Amazing and incredibly delicious!!!! Oh my goodness, it is the most yummy poutine you can find without going to paris!!! I litteraly cannot wait to eat from here again!! read more

When you hear fries smothered in gravy and layered with cheese, you get super excited. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with the options. I chose to get the original poutine but it was not what I expected. After trying it out, I had realized I had paid about 10 dollars for a scarce amount of fries, watery gravy and melted what tasted like string cheese bits. Now I have not tried everything on the menu but I don't think I will go out of my way to get this again. read more

I got the classic fries and they were really good! I would get them again next time!! read more

Urban Poutine - Classic fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Fries smothered in gravy with cheese on top? Sounds like a good idea, right? Unfortunately for this food truck/stand, I think their execution falls short. I've never really had real poutine but I still know good French fries when I taste them. I was pretty disappointed that of all the food trucks at Truckeroo, I picked this one. The fries weren't piping hot or really that crispy right off the bat. The basis of poutine is fries - so they already missed the mark there. The gravy was good but in their haste to get orders out ASAP (even though everything seemed to be made-to-order), the cheese curds were basically just chunks of solid cheese. You'd be better off dousing your fries with nacho cheese and getting your fries elsewhere. read more

This food truck comes by our office in Reston here and there and it always smells amazing! I've tried it from a few coworkers and today I just couldn't resist. I got the classic with light gravy and it was delicious. I'm constantly visiting Canada so I've had my fair share of poutine straight from the source so if you're looking to try it, definitely find this truck! Plus the guy who runs it is a cutie so that's an added bonus ;) read more

Too expensive for the portion size. Very little meat and no curds. Tastes good, but not worth 14$

Had the pleasure of trying Urban Poutine at a beer and wine festival a couple weeks back. The whole menu looked fantastic (andouille poutine!? Absolutely!) but we ended up going with the short rib poutine. Oh man, I'm so glad we did because I would have been missing out! I'm sure you all know, but poutine is fries, gravy and cheese curds. Simple, but fantastic. As far as classic goes, Urban Poutine has fried their fries to perfection. They stand up incredibly well to the gravy, which in turn was the perfect level of saltiness to not turn overpowering with the addition of the cheese curds. I was originally somewhat concerned about short rib, thinking it might detract from the simplicity of the classic, but boy was I wrong. The short rib was cooked to the most tender of morsels, and was packed full of flavor. Once again, even though strong in it's own right, the flavor lent itself to the rest of the ingredients instead of overpowering at all. When we originally ordered we had decided it was big enough to split, but upon tasting the first bite immediately regretted not getting two! It's worth mentioning as well that the team manning the truck were so nice and had great service. Definitely seek out Urban Poutine and support this business! read more

Urban Poutine - Short rib poutine! - Food Trucks Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I came to DC from Quebec to visit friends and I was told about this truck serving poutine not far from me. I was hoping to get some food from home, but I was very disappointed. They said hand cut fries, but they looked and tasted like frozen fries. The cheese was orange and had very little taste. Not even close to cheese curds used in poutine at home. The gravy was at bottom so the fries on top were dry. The gravy was not salted enough, and not typical of poutine. This was not experience I was hoping for. read more

Had the original - delivered for me on all levels. Fries, overdeliver. Pretty close to Five Guys (perfection) but maybe even better. I think I definitely caught them firing on all cylinders. These were hot, fresh, crispy outside, soft inside. Timing perfect. Held up to the gravy while still taking on the gravy nicely. I mean, I was starving, but it couldn't have been just that. These were awesome. Gravy, also spot on. Spot on on salt, spot on on richness, spot on on flavor, spot on on portion ratio to the fries. Curds, tasty enough. Great compliment. Appreciated them. Portion, not a disappointment for $9, but not an overdeliver. Just about right, would have enjoyed 15% more, and would be a bit shy for the$11 versions, but still satisfactory. Overall very happy with my choice amongst about 7 trucks, and impressed. read more

This is hands-down, my fiancé and I's favorite food truck. Whenever we find the chance to go to this food truck, we take it. Especially when they're visiting local festivals in the area. The pictures I'be posted is a mix of different times we've had their poutine. It's so savory and hits the spot. Love the multiple chunky ingredients that all come together with the fries in this messy, but yummy finger food! read more

If you're worried about how this holds up with delivery, don't be. They give you separate cups for the cheese curds and the gravy, so when the fries arrive, they're not soggy. I got the short rib poutine and it was delicious - so crispy from the fries and tender from the meat. This has a lot of flavor and textures if you're worried about it being one-note, as poutine can sometimes be. Really loved it. read more

I ordered the Short Rib Poutine when the peddlers were at Le'Fant Plaza. It was so good, I took a picture and used it as the wallpaper on my laptop. Thank you Canada for this food! read more

I haven't seen this truck in Arlington, but I wish they would show up. Poutine for lunch sounds weird, but its great in practice. The brisket is the best and could be its own dish. Super nice people as well. read more

My mother was Quebecoise and I spent my childhood going to Quebec a couple times a year. Have eaten loads of poutine. This food truck is awesome. The meat is much fancier than you will find at 90% of the places you'll eat poutine in Quebec. This isn't a complaint, I love em all. Poutine is like pizza, you can do anything you want with it. This is a fantastic upscale version and the flavors are just right. This gets my thumbs up for authenticity. read more

This place is awesome. There is never a line because people must be scared of poutine! But the poutine here is delicious. Super tasty. Great in its original form or with fancy add ons. I always try to drop by when they are near my office. Not the healthiest lunch, but one of the tastiest trucks in dc! read more

Just had their "pulled" pork from their food truck outside Kaiser Permanente in Gaithersburg. The pork wasn't "pulled" and very bland. To add salt in the wound (instead of the pork), the container was only half full. Immediate regret of $15. read more

I tried the short rib poutine and thought it was delicious, well-crafted and worth the $11. I can't wait to go back and try the other options...because how can you go wrong with gourmet french fries and cheese curds right from a truck? Friendly, pretty quick service as well. read more

I was a bit skeptical when I saw this food truck at the St. Pattys day clover beer fest but I thought I'd give it a try. Can I just say I'm so glad I did!!! The fries were covered in the yummiest gravy and mashed potatoes combination with tender succulent beef added on top and caramelized onions. All together the flavor combinations were out of this world, if I can find this food truck again I will definitely eat at it!! read more

Delicious! Ordered the short rib poutine and loved it. Definitely wish they had sriracha or similar condiments, but I'll just bring my own next time :) I always say the best thing about Canada is poutine, glad I can treat myself whenever these guys are in town. read more

I got to try Urban Poutine at 2016's first Truckeroo. Man were they popular! We waited in line for about an hour to get a taste. I was scared that they were going to run out before we got to the front of the line but my worries were unfounded! We finally got to the front of the line where I ordered the short rib poutine, by far the most indulgent choice (obvi). The short rib was quality! It would easily belong on a fancy restaurant plate. I just wish it were shredded for ease of eating instead of in one piece. The cheese curds were perfectly squeaky and melted nicely under the heat of the gravy. The french fries were twice cooked and really great. Overall, some of the best poutine I've had in the DC area! I can't wait to try this truck again in the future! Also the service was super friendly despite being really slammed (they even gave some containers to another food truck that had run out - A+ behavior in my book). read more

Holy eff. Tried the short rib poutine and it was worth every penny. Best poutine I've had in ages. Not the largest portion size, but the quality is what makes it worth your money. read more

*Disclaimer* I am from Quebec - home of the original poutine so by default cannot give higher than 3 stars to any poutine outside of Quebec. So the fact that i gave this 4 stars speaks volumes. With this being said this poutine was excellent. I had a poutine with braised pork. Fries were decent, although i'm a fan of the darker brown sweeter fries, sauce although not typical brown gravy was flavourful and just the right amount and the cheese curds were better than i expected considering they were not St Guillaume cheese curds.... a solid 4 stars read more

The short ribs tasted great, the gravy was very good and the fries were good. Unfortunately, the serving is way too small for $12. Even with the small container, they could have added more cheese and definitely more meat. They also forgot to include the onions - which I am sure would have been a tasty addition. Not really worth the price. :( read more

My favorite food truck. Amazing and unique food. A bit pricey but worth it. And the owners are great people.

Definitely tastes good. Beef, cheese curds, and gravy over twice fried fries is tasty. Price is a bit high at $11 for the amount you get.

They sell poutine and damn good poutine. Had them for the first time today, got the braised short rib. I love poutine, I love short rib. so this was a winning combo. Just the right amount of gravy and cheese curds to go with their fries. Everything is made to order to expect to wait a few minutes. Would love to see this truck parked by a brewery. Just saying. read more

I had the pulled pork poutine and it was damn good. Every ingredient was solid, including the gravy which can be pretty gross on a lot of poutiness. Friendly people and they get the food out pretty quick considering it's made to order with piping hot fries. read more
