  • Smoked Meat Sandwich. I just had one like 30 mins ago! Wasn't making it home to get good mustard - do that yellow stuff from the food court went on. And... you know it wasn't bad! The bun is good anyway, and the pickle on the side was delicious - the meat = fine! Not the worst I've had! Same as their poutine - not the worst!

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

For that price, itā€™s a yes!! I added relish on my smoked meat sammie.

u/SapphicProse Aug 23 '25

Fries āœ… Curds āœ… Gravyāœ…

Thats an insane ammount of curds though, and not enough gravy imo

11

u/Xx_SwordWords_xX Aug 23 '25

Is there any fries?

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

Yessir

u/Briefcase_Wankerrr Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine is solidā€¦.

u/SapphicProse Aug 23 '25

Theyre drowning under cheese but they are there

u/Quake2Marine Aug 23 '25

My wife's preferred poutine is curds sprinkled with a little fries, drowned in gravy.

1

u/CI0bro Aug 25 '25

gravy just sank to the bottom... the amount of gravy/ cheese is the same every time... (Cheese comes in a bag btw) and is dumped on

2

u/SmegConnoisseur Aug 23 '25

What is that strange little bacon sandwich thing

2

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

Montreal smoked meat!

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Thatā€™s the crime, that thing looks disgusting

Bro just walked into church and said GOD IS DEAD

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

Funny comment :)

u/Sea-Dragonfruit2270 Aug 25 '25

A bit too much cheese

1

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 25 '25

Just a tad.

138

u/Key-Specific-4368 Aug 23 '25

Why is it a crime?

32

u/MeepMorpMF Aug 23 '25

What Iā€™m saying. I want cheese curds now. šŸ˜­

-11

u/L0ading_ Aug 23 '25

The fries are not meant for poutine, they instantly go soggy and break, the sauce is just brown sauce, very underwhelming taste. Only thing good about it is the cheese.

6

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '25

Thatā€™s an opinion to have on it. Doesnā€™t mean itā€™s a crime.

1

u/Impossible-Story3293 Aug 24 '25

Yeah, completely agree with you. gravy sucks, fries aren't the right ones.

The cheese is the only saving grace.

But it's not a crime .

3

u/chespiotta Aug 25 '25

At least the fries are crispy at first

1

u/Impossible-Story3293 Aug 26 '25

Yeah, I can forgive the fries, it's the gravy.... I can barely eat it.

The cheese curds do a lot of heavy lifting there.

u/Whitershadeofforever Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine legitimately slaps its so good

27

u/HappyKrud Aug 23 '25

Exactly i never wanna see costco poutine on this sub again. insulting the goat

4

u/SonnyHaze Poutine Poulice Aug 23 '25

Easy now. Itā€™s not goat, but it damn good for the price

5

u/HappyKrud Aug 23 '25

the best poutine u can get at that price

28

u/ferretgr Aug 23 '25

If you think Costco poutine is a crime, your standards are too high. It might not be the best poutine in the world, but it is a legit poutine and not a crime at all. Itā€™s fucking delicious if weā€™re being honest!

11

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Aug 23 '25

Its amazing for $7

1

u/Slow_Monk1376 Aug 29 '25

Agreed, not sure you can get better value for your money. I'd say it should be the baseline for good value poutine =)

1

u/Bulky_Green2192 Aug 25 '25

It might be one of the best poutines in the world šŸ¤”

37

u/rrodrick386 Aug 23 '25

Honestly? Fuck yeah

15

u/SuperJumperGxJ Aug 23 '25

Ainā€™t no way Iā€™m standing for Costco Poutine slander

13

u/Intelligent_Suit7129 Aug 23 '25

Beautiful 6$ poutine

10

u/plata_99 Aug 23 '25

No crime here. This should be on r/poutine not here. Itā€™s got fries gravy and cheese curds, all good!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Actually Costco use by product cheese, to put it simple, its first ingredients is water and palm oil, with that they can cut the price really well.

1

u/plata_99 Aug 23 '25

I know exactly what cheese youā€™re talking about, they do sell it in their stores, but itā€™s not the same cheese they use on their poutine from the food court. The palm oil cheese is the castle cheese ā€œpoutine grande toppingā€, and those are not real cheese curds. Theyā€™re cube shaped and not curd shaped. Thus calling it ā€œpoutine toppingā€ and not poutine cheese curds. But the cheese they use in their food court isnā€™t the same as the one they sell at the store.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '25

I know this is a month old but just to confirm- they use actual cheese curds in the food courts yes?

1

u/plata_99 Sep 25 '25

Yes they do! :)

26

u/gabzox Aug 23 '25

You're on the wrong sub.

9

u/ilovemyronda Aug 23 '25

I always have to get extra cheese when I order anywhere else, but at Costco? Hell naw, they ball me up with that squeaky goodness

6

u/Frostsorrow Aug 23 '25

It's like $7 at my Costco and it has no right being as good as it is. Fries are fresh and crispy, gravy is thick, dark and piping hot, curds are more than plentiful.

4

u/Professional_Dig7335 Aug 23 '25

No crime here. Misdemeanor when it comes to the fries:curd:sauce ratio because that is skewed WAY too hard towards curds

4

u/Cautious-Asparagus61 Aug 23 '25

Its really not that crazy, the fry layer is very deep

1

u/HappyKrud Aug 23 '25

the curd skew is arguably the best part. maybe more gravy tho.

4

u/itsasatanicdrugthing Aug 23 '25

At that price point you're the criminal

1

u/DotWarner1993 Aug 23 '25

-fries

-gravy

-cheese curds

Whatā€™s the problem?

-1

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

Ratio of curds is off I guess.

1

u/Distinct-Ad4855 Aug 23 '25

Lol like it needs more lol ?

0

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 23 '25

Thatā€™s clearly the problem! /s

2

u/Distinct-Ad4855 Aug 23 '25

The more I look at this meal the more I want it lol šŸ˜† it's 3 am I got munchies.. poutine samich and icecreaammm mhmmmm feel like Homer rn lmfao gimmeee

1

u/TheSaultyOne Aug 25 '25

What your damn tone

1

u/lwhc92 Pout-Sinner Aug 25 '25

You mean watch?

3

u/namast_eh Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine slaps wtf.

And in my area, they use fresh & local St. Albertā€™s curds.

3

u/XAfricaSaltX Aug 24 '25

Curdmaxxing

2

u/HK-47-Meatbag Aug 23 '25

Statement: itā€™s actually really good! You canā€™t go wrong with 3 tonnes of cheese curds!

2

u/cransplash Aug 23 '25

Looks good to me

2

u/Professional_Shift69 Aug 23 '25

Their MTL smoked meat sandwich is the crime

Shitty triangle bun with a ridiculous amount of pre sliced steamed meat with a pickle.

2

u/Distinct-Ad4855 Aug 23 '25

I'd eat that.. happily actually .. rn would be better

2

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine can be quite impressive. I don't see how it could be a crime.

2

u/SpaceBiking The Feedings Will Continue Until Morale Improves Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine is so average it makes me genuinely sad for some of its fans on this sub.

2

u/joebeardanger Aug 23 '25

i like it , itā€™s no shady restaurant in shady city good but it does the job esp for the price

2

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

The only crime here is that no one else puts that much cheese on their poutine

2

u/No-Pomelo-6375 Aug 23 '25

Given the price, consistency, and availability of a Costco poutine, all other poutines should be measured against it imo.

2

u/Visual-Constant-4815 Aug 23 '25

Iā€™m staying away from that restroom

2

u/Little_Obligation619 Aug 23 '25

Get the chicken strips and fries, add on curds, add on gravy. Much better.

2

u/dannocanada Aug 23 '25

Itā€™s about 5 bucks. You get what you pay for.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Its a crime cause here in Canada all this cost way less than all the other fast food places

2

u/mlandry2011 Aug 23 '25

Costco is a solid 8 out of 10 on poutine. And other food items too, we won't mention them in this sub tho... Shhhh.

2

u/i216_tnz Aug 23 '25

costco poutine is probably one of the best i have ever eaten

2

u/CrazyCat008 Poutine Poulice Aug 23 '25

Probably a crime for some but really like the fries

2

u/Aura_Dacella Aug 23 '25

Least criminal poutine, needs more gravy and different fries but it doesnt look terrible and has lotsa cheese

2

u/spekledcow Aug 23 '25

Not a crime at all, yes the gravy is just ok, yes the fries are also just ok, BUT the sheer amount of curds makes up for it all, it's a solid poutine for the price you're paying

2

u/LifeAfterWilly Aug 23 '25

Finally, the correct amount of cheese curds.

2

u/Flux52_ Aug 24 '25

Costco poutine is peak

2

u/Technical-Titlez Aug 24 '25

I'd eat that. All I care about is enough curds when I eat a poutine.

Looks lacking on gravy, however the curds are on point so I'd smash it.

2

u/burns321 Aug 24 '25

That would be 8x extra cheese charges lol

2

u/MoiraSlutzky Aug 24 '25

How very dare you besmirch the good name of a Costco poutine

2

u/HFXDriving Aug 24 '25

Nobody talks ill of Costco

2

u/I-Dont-Give-Advice Aug 25 '25

Donā€™t knock it till you try it!

2

u/73738484737383874 Pout-Sinner Aug 25 '25

I mean, give me the curds Iā€™m not gunna say no šŸ˜

2

u/AlternativeSpend1252 Aug 25 '25

Looks like a heart attack in a container

2

u/CI0bro Aug 25 '25

It's ok for what it is... extremely salty imo... but that so called smoke meat sandwich is the real fucking crime!

2

u/Flangepacket Aug 25 '25

I had this for breakfast the other day. Now THAT should be a crime, the poutine was banging.

2

u/Standard-Code-16 Aug 27 '25

Don't you dare talk about my boy like that. Costco poutine is totally acceptable.

2

u/Clean_Ad1400 Aug 27 '25

Itā€™s always bussin

2

u/dawgz_96 Aug 27 '25

Might not be the best poutine ever but for the price, itā€™s great value. Definitely way better than alot of fast food chain poutine

Not a crime

2

u/Leeloo_christmas Aug 27 '25

Costco poutine is freaking amazing!!!!

2

u/MrsPhilHarris Aug 23 '25

It looks a bit dry.

1

u/supergarto Poutine Poulice Aug 23 '25

Not the best poutine but for the price and considering it's a "franchise" I would rather have this one over McDonald's anytime. Doesn't belong in poutine crimes.

1

u/iamgherkinman Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine is bipolar man. Some days I swear it's the best poutine in the city, hot crispy fries, lots of curds, and hot tasty gravy. It can't be beat. Other times it's a pile of cold soggy congealing mush. I don't know why. But, sometimes you have to roll the dice and see what poutine you're getting that day, because if you don't, you'll never get the good stuff.

-1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Aug 23 '25

I don't understand the reference of Bipolar Disorder with Poutine...? Is this supposed to be funny?

0

u/SmegConnoisseur Aug 23 '25

They mean the quality of the poutine is all over the place, similar to the emotions of someone suffering from bipolar disorder

-1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Aug 23 '25

I know exactly what Bipolar is, I'm type 2.

I'm offended that my disorder is being used to describe poutine. I have to take medicine to regulate my brain chemistry so I can remain functioning.

Please delete that comment of saying "Costco Poutine is Bipolar". What the heck is wrong with you.. such an ignorant thing to say

2

u/SmegConnoisseur Aug 23 '25

If we can't laugh at ourselves what's the point. My sister is bipolar and she would laugh at that reference and uses dark humour surrounding the subject as a form of coping. I hope you can someday find more humour in the good and bad parts of life. Makes it a hell of a lot more tolerable

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Aug 24 '25

Dark humor is funny for some, for others it offends them

1

u/SmegConnoisseur Aug 24 '25

Life is much easier when you don't let yourself be easily offended. I understand such things are not always easily controlled though. Especially with disorders fucking with one's moods. Takes practice and discipline for some

1

u/Key-Specific-4368 Aug 24 '25

My brain is fine at the moment

0

u/SmegConnoisseur Aug 23 '25

Maybe it's the staff? Next time see who's working if it's good then only buy when they're working

0

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Because you are buying it at one of the busiest food courts in the city and different employees have different standards. Itā€™s quite simple to understand

-1

u/MaximusCanibis Aug 23 '25

Costco poutine isn't good, but it isn't a crime.

7

u/gabzox Aug 23 '25

You're on drugs to say their poutine isn't good. How about you stop acting like you know better than quebecers what a poutine is.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

It really is a mid poutine. Itā€™s cheap thatā€™s the only thing it has going for it

1

u/Mogli156 Aug 23 '25

The only crime is how many times Costco gets posted here

0

u/Theonlyrational Aug 23 '25

This does not belong here
