The passing trays looked amazing but we couldn't find seating to save our lives so we struck out to look for another location nearby. You start with a base: quinoa, rice, bulgur, fries (poutine), or lettuce. You choose a number of chicken tenders in one or two flavors, then choose from a variety of toppings. The staff here *understandably* is not great in English, which can of course change depending on where you go and when you come. This was one of our first stops before my high school/college French instruction "clicked on" again, so ordering was mildly stressful for our family. It would have been nice if there were some pre-designed bowl recipes to select from (like Cava, for example). For those of you willing to play the language barrier game, the sky is the limit in terms of how you can personalize your bowl. Like every Quebecois dining establishment, this fast food chain is head and shoulders above any American equivalent. Even their poutine (which can be messed up, I assure you) was among the top poutines I've eaten. This is a great place to grab a quick meal, as light or heavy as you require.

Though the chicken pieces were small, it was flavorful, and one bowl was more than enough for me. The ambiance was good, big wall size glass, ordered at the counter got the food, and had fun!

The star was the buffalo chicken poutine, which can only be found in Quebec. The portion was huge and the gravy and toppings were plentiful. I also tried the habanero chicken sandwich, the veggie burger, and the blueberry cheesecake pie. The poutine is by far the best item. The chicken sandwich was just okay. The veggie burger was pretty dry and unimpressive. We loved the blueberry cheesecake pie! Service was good and the restaurant was clean. It's definitely worth a visit when you need something quick and easy.

The girl that took our order was friendly enough and she did the prep too, though she looked like she'd seen better days. No energy, no enthusiasm, that's for sure. Our order didn't take long and it was hot, it just didn't taste that great. I got a poutine with onions and the number of onions was absolutely overwhelming...like I ordered two onions with cheese, fries, and gravy. I couldn't believe how many onions were on it. My wife had a basic poutine and it was much better, just nothing super, super special. The interior decor is like stepping back into 80's, but is beat to hell. Gangsta rap pumping throughout isn't really my thing either, lol. Doubtful that I'd go back.

I randomly stumbled upon snack bar seeking to simply nourish a late night poutine craving (as…read moreusually one has whilst in quebec, of course) and little did i know it would lead me to finding myself returning there not once, not twice, but yes three times more over the following two weeks. the food feels like being wrapped in warm heated blanket after playing outside in a winter storm. it is the only place you would ever and could ever want to be when it is late at night and you and all your friends want to be together and happily indulging in your favorite foods. it is absolutely marvelous. as an aspiring poutine connoisseur, i will take a moment additionally to say that the fries are the most perfectly shaped, salted, and crisped, the amount of gravy is enough to hydrate each bite without stealing the show, and the cheese curds are the squeakiest, most delectable items you will have the privilege of consuming. And i know it seems too good to be true to say, but the customer service is really as good as the food itself. how did we get so lucky! they have a wonderful little microphone to call out your number so you hear when your food is ready right away (and yes, do i even need to mention that of course it is made in a very timely fashion), and all the workers are super friendly to talk to. they also have free water because they understand the importance of hydration :) i would like to shoutout especially benjamin, who is always there working hard when we happen to stumble in and has super epic hair might i add. i will never forget the memories i have made at snack bar and the wonderful people i have been able to talk to and practice my french there with. i hope that for whoever it is meant to be, not only do you find snack bar, but snack bar finds you.
