We saw this restaurant the other day while visiting the Regal Cat Cafe, and thought we'd give it a try since it specialized in Poutines. We ordered a large traditional poutine to share amongst three people. It was rich, greasy, decadent, dripping with gravy, and had giant chunks of cheese curds. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I was alone and drunk...but even with family it was great.

Jeremy was great and helped choose the best toppings to compliment my donair poutine. Thanks so much and I was so happy they had ice cream to add to the poutine experience 😀

Okay, I went to this location with family member and the two staffs members were having a fight because the other member came in drunk and she was throwing the kitchen tinsels around on the floor. Then sticking her fingers in her mouth and eating her fingers then wiping it on the towel which she uses to wipe the counter or anything down. Absolutely disgusting. These are new owners and I will never eat from this location ever again. The restaurant yes was nice and clean and everything. The lady who did help me. She's the one who made our food thank God cuz if it wasn't her I would be asking for my money back. It is absolutely disgusting. Having an employee come in heavily drunk and making a scene. Everybody in the restaurant was looking and watching her being ridiculous. She was throwing phones, kitchen, utilities and whatever else would happen after we left. She was also using her feet to push drawers clothes instead of her hands her dirty feet. Where have they been? There's one employee will not be fired because she is a family member of which is not fair. You come in like that and do this in the restaurant. Yeah well that just makes me not want to come back to that location ever again. I was so disappointed but the food was the one lady who wasn't doing anything. The food she made to us was absolutely fentastic. Oh my God I inhaled my fries. I had the vegan protein and my family member had a beef boutique. She loved hers and I inhaled mine but was not impressed with the other staff member of her behavior LOL. Absolutely disgusting and the post not even believe her what was going on so she had to take a video and then that girl took the phone and through the phone phone across the kitchen. Wow quite the behavior in a restaurant. No thank you I will never go back to this restaurant again. I will go to the other location even though it's further away. I don't care 😡🤬

Cold/warm fries, bland tasteless gravy, decent container. Container was the only thing of any value. Never again.

Jeremy is made our experience absolutely delightful. As a prior long term 17th ave big cheese enjoyer - our first experience at this location was truly extraordinary. Not only are the staff great here - but the restaurant itself has a great vibe. Give this man a raise!!! 🚨‼️
Great spot to grab a classic or loaded poutine! The workers are very nice and even gave me tips on how to reheat poutine properly- not only that but the Donaire poutine was AMAZING, best one I've had in Calgary. Will for sure be going again!

I wonderful place for poutine in Kensington, their portions sizes are huge for their affordable price. I've only ever ordered from skip but today I made the trek to their store and was not disappointed. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious!

Montreal smoked meat poutine was hot and tasty, will try traditional next time. Service was speedy and friendly. Raised seating is a bit strange and I stumbled a bit getting into the “booth”.

Stopped by The Big Cheese Poutinerie and decided to try the donair poutine—definitely a great choice! The donair meat was well-seasoned, tender, and had that classic slightly sweet, garlicky flavor that worked really well with the fries and cheese curds. I paired it with hot sauce, which added a nice kick without overpowering everything.
For a small portion, it was pretty generous and kept me full, making it great value for the price. The fries were crispy on the outside and held up well under the gravy without getting too soggy. Overall, it was a super satisfying meal, and I’d love to come back to try some of their other poutines. If you’re a fan of donair, definitely give this one a shot!
