I was in the area today and stopped by S&G. I ordered a small fries and they are absolutely yummy. I notice some foodies here commented that the fries were a bit soggy in their poutine. But I thought they're just right, maybe the fries are less soggy without gravy...
Hands down the Best Poutine in Ottawa! Always a generous amount of delicious, squeeky cheese curds. The fries are made with real potatoes and not the crispy coated synthetic french fries. Brown gravy instead of the orange chicken gravy you sometimes get. The actual chip stand itself could use a little work, but I'm willing to overlook it because the poutine is so darn tasty!
After finding out Perogies Takeout closes at 5pm on Mondays, my woman was pretty down. So I had to think quick, had to find a place to take her for dinner. Then it dawned on me, S&G Fries was just up ahead (just like the cartoons where the hero with the great idea has a light bulb appear above his head). So I made a quick right turn off Carling, because my idea came to me seconds before the entrance. We got out of the car and started making our way towards the chip wagon, greeting the annoying seagulls with a "shoo shoo". I also noticed their "Voted Best Poutine By The New RO Viewers" poster...why is it still up? New RO changed to The A-Channel in the summer of 2005. Should you be allowed to keep up Food Awards like that one, if it’s out dated? Anyways we checked out the Value Combo menu and got what we wanted; the food was so-so except for the server being on the phone the whole time... what’s up with that? (this is where I do the laser beam sound effect)
S&G has my vote for best poutine in Ottawa. The fries are fresh and somewhat soggy, there is an abundance of cheese curds and the sauce is gently herbed and spiced and always piping hot! A delicious and addictive combination!
