We tried The Big Cheese Poutinerie last night for the first time. WOW! The fries were amazing! Freshly hand cut, perfectly crispy, and the flavor was amazing. By far the best fries and poutine we’ve had in Calgary. High five to their fry guy for cooking the perfect French fry! We can’t forget, Jeremy, who was super friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. Great food and great atmosphere. They’re open late too, so it’s perfect for our late night work schedule! 💖

I went because it was the number one choice for poutine in Calgary online. When I went, there was no one there, zero customers, on a Friday night. The service was neither good nor bad, very basic. And the food was delicious, everything we ordered tasted very good. But I think I had high expectations. So, It wasn't bad, but it didn't blow me away.

The poutine was fantastic. We had smoked Montreal meat poutine and a buttered chicken poutine both were fantastic. The drink selection are all bottled so that’s kind of lame and no matter what they give you to go containers. Other than that this place is fantastic. Highly recommended

There is a huge variety of poutines with your choice of proteins. I really enjoyed the Montreal poutine topped with corned beef and sauerkraut. On a nice day, the patio in the back is wonderfully quiet and serene.

I was in recently, had the perogie poutine take away. Walked around the corner and opened it, it was cold, sauce and cheese, fries were a bit warm, but not enough to melt the cheese. I had to wait 10 min or so the service was great but I don't think the cheese hit the microwave before going into the poutine.

Good poutine, nice large curds. Had to wait for the cook to chat up some friends before he turned to prepping our food, so not super fast, but the person taking our order was very nice.

The entrance was quite narrow so wheelchairs and bigger people may have difficulty. The seating was also incredibly low down, or child size, and quite uncomfortable. The art work displayed within is questionable. BUT the poutines are amazing. Massive portions and a wide selection of tastes. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I had the Montreal Smoked Meat Poutine.

Love this place. I get a donair poutine with no sweet sauce and peppercorn gravy with extra gravy. It's to die for. Sad they got rid of the Philly cheese steak poutine.. notorious P.I.G is great as well.

Me stupidly thinking it was open later on a Monday brought my family in near 9 pm for a quick snack. Sorry to the staff about that. Thank you for being so gracious and allowing us to spend a few minutes eating near closing time. Excellent service and poutine!

This poutine spot offers a well-curated selection—while not overwhelming, the variety ensures there’s something for everyone. The flavors are on point, with crispy fries, rich gravy, and perfectly melted cheese curds that make for a satisfying bite every time. Portion sizes are generous, which is a big plus, especially for those with a hearty appetite. Whether you’re a classic poutine lover or looking for creative toppings, this place delivers on both taste and value.
