My 1st Harvey's Poutine

[u/ResearchChem87523]

I think I have a decent poutine palette and typically avoid non-QC fast food 'tines. Had a craving though, so hit a late night Hamilton location. Large classic poutine. Not a bad price (like $7-8).

Fries - 5/10. Bland, slightly undercooked and mass produced tasting (duh)

Curds - 6/10. Okay. Weren't the freshest. Melted nicely.

Gravy - 8/10. Highlight of the dish. Rich, somewhat complex, tasty!

Overall: 6.5/10

In a pinch, this'll do. It satisfied my craving. Gravy elevated it from "so-so" to decent. Might get it again if it's late (no other real poutine options around here then).

Of the national chains, it's probably the best fast food poutine. NY fries is a close second, but they are both still slightly below average to be a good poutine. Adequate but not great

NYF is no more a national chain than Belle Province is. There are more Belle Pro’s in Canada than there are NYF.

[u/perpetualmotionmachi → u/flk23]

There are about the same amount of each. But NY fries is in provinces across the nation, making it more national than one based mostly in Quebec with a very small amount in Ontartio

If you want to elevate poutine, add black pepper. It tastes much better.

Gotta go with the buffalo chicken one next time! I mean if you like buffalo chicken! Don't get something you don't like cause I said it!!!

[u/Jbird104 → u/Kostickb23]

Next time try the chicken bacon ranch but add buffalo chicken to the order it’s 10/10

[u/Kostickb23 → u/Jbird104]

You're onto something! You mean order the chicken BR then add an order of buffalo chicken and toss it in?

The gravy is also vegetarian

Does anyone know if you can get double curds at Harvey's? I know you can at McD's but I'd like to know about the other chains.

[u/2004rememberkind → u/Bananacreamsky]

Yes you can , its an option on the delivery apps

The best fast food poutine

Personally I find it better than most QC poutines I’ve had, they nailed it
