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.

Good, but not hot enough
Rizma W.

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.

Classic fries

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

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.

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 ;)

Classic Poutine

It was very good and authentic. I've been to the home of Poutine in Drummondville, Quebec.

Short rib poutine!
Sara W.

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!

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

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

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.

I got the short rib poutine and it was delicious - so crispy from the fries and tender from the meat.

Masala dosa, Kadappa karam dosa and Aloo bajji are must-tries. Medu vada wasn't crispy so I wouldn't recommend it as much as the others.
