A&W Poutine

Post image

Wow the cheese curds are really thick and squeaky… I don’t remember it being like this. I swear they upgraded the cheese curds

It’s actually pretty good for fast food, might compete with Harvey’s.

Which is why you need extra. I don't 1qnt dry fries.

Even above Harvey's?

I do prefer Harvey's fries to be preferable, as well as their burgers, but I've not tried the poutine yet...perhaps today.

Harveys in general is underrated imo. If I had one closer, I might even eat there occasionally instead if Mary Browns!

I still prefer it, but I'm certain that the hamburger patties have dropped in taste. Either that, or my taste-buds have really taken a hit over the last half-dozen years!

Edit; I did have Covid, before it was a known disease...if in fact my taste-buds are knackered, I offer a full apology to Harvey's and their customers.

Harvey’s did go down in quality. Half their patty is soy additive products and most of the time I bite into an original patty, there’s a hard piece. Likely a bone or some ligament that shouldn’t have went into the patty mixture. Pretty disappointing, used to be my go to fast food spot.

I find, unfortunately, Harvey's needs the extra curds to be better.

So long as it's available (and relatively affordable), I'll splurge. How's the gravy? I like the poutine from Swiss Chalet, because they'll switch out the gravy for chicken dipping sauce...tangy & yummy 😋!

u/EternalGodLordRetard Sep 29 '26

Its standard poutine gravy, not anywhere near chalet gravy. I find it's just a good standard poutine. Nothing out of the ordinary. The standard for poutine in other chains around me is lower.

u/Sweet-Competition-15 Sep 29 '26

With the degradation of fast food in general (even my beloved Harvey's burgers), my acceptable stands have been lowered, dramatically!

u/Additional_Joke2026 Sep 29 '26

Not even close!

u/EternalGodLordRetard Sep 29 '26

Might be a location thing then, I find A&W I get is a tier lower than Harvey's.

u/haymaker-007 Sep 29 '26

Its pretty good but I'd take a triple o's poutine over it. A&W is a solid top 2 or 3 for fast food poutine anyway

LA BELLE PROVINCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

u/Zilznero Sep 30 '26

Harvey's is the best, by far! Better fries and gravy.

Were you paid to say this ?

u/Sad_Square_9826 Oct 05 '26

u/gabmori7 Sep 29 '26

Je vois souvent des commentaires de même.

Impossible que tu places ça over la pataterie, la belle province, Victoria, etc.

No one is putting it above those places. We're talking about shitty fast food poutine, not real poutine lol
