Food and service sooo good! Love the pogo and sauce combo and the poutine is outstanding!!!

Great fries, but the gravy is a little bit on the sweet side. Service is polite and quick. I like how there is an option to eat there with a few tables in front. read more

Our family has enjoyed poutine from this little chip stand for years. The service is efficient and kind. There is no indoor seating however picnic style outdoor seating is available during summer months. Fries can be single or double fried. Poutine gravy is flavorful with real cheese curds! Comfort food at its best. Note: Payment is CASH ONLY! There is an atm available inside the chip stand. Closed during the winter months. read more

I've eaten here 3 times- and all three times I've been sick afterwards. Not sure what it is with their fries- but they definitely don't agree with me. read more

Best poutine in Ottawa. What else is there to say? I've had a lot of poutine but keep coming back to Fritomania because it's the best. The gravy is flavourful, the fries are perfection and the cheese is melted and delicious. The popcorn chicken is also really good. read more

It was ok, wouldn't go out of my way to go back unfortunately! There wasn't a huge line up which was nice. Poutine gravy was watery

Amazing poutine in Orleans! The prices are great and the poutine is delicious! There is always lots of cheese and gravy. I usually add popcorn chicken to my poutine. Their deep fried cheese curds are also really good! The family who run it are always really nice and wait times are never too long. read more

Foods good, little expensive, only take cash witch is weird. Also not much gravy on my poutine. Nice service tho. Most of the time the food is really really good . read more

My review remains the same. Best fries in town, poutine is amazing burgers, hotdogs are great!

In my personal opinion all poutine sorts tastes the same and despite it being so expensive, it just tastes like an average poutine. I don't know why everyone in Ottawa is getting a WAP over this place as if they can't go get a gravy packet and cheese at no frills and make the same thing at home. It's still cool tho. You won't regret trying it but you won't won't not regret not won't regretting to try it. If that makes sense. read more

We got some takeout from this little poutine shack in Orleans. We ordered a large poutine that came with cheese curds and gravy. We also ordered two cheeseburgers. I really liked the poutine. The cheese and gravy ratio was just perfect with the fries. It was not too salty. The cheeseburger were good but not out of this world. I definitely would come back for the poutine. read more

Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Possibly the best poutine on the planet, definitely the best I have ever eaten. Simple, fast, HOT, and a heck of a lot. The nicest people behind the counter. If you love a dive - this is your spot. Even if you don't - grab take out and indulge in this divine comfort food. read more

Too greasy. Heavy on the fats. I cannot eat here since my gastric bypass. Doesn't mean the food is not good

WOW. I'm not sure what I was expecting when my boyfriend suggested we head here for lunch on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Even as we were pulling into the strip mall parking lot, I could smell the distinct aroma of perfect chip truck poutine. A little shack (coincidentally near a Weight Watchers and yoga studio!) in suburban Orleans, this absolutely qualifies as a hidden gem. There's plenty of picnic tables outside and a few tables and chairs inside just in case you'd rather be indoors. We both ordered hot dog and poutine combos and a drink, and the total came to $13 - totally worth it! The operator was super friendly and sweet, and even managed to calm down an irate customer who was upset that we got served before him, by explaining that it's mandatory for them to cook hamburgers to a certain temperature. I took one bite of my poutine and was in total food paradise. The fries, made with peanut oil, are absolute perfection. Crispy and golden and smothered in fresh curds and savory gravy, this is how poutine was meant to be made (and devoured). The hot dog was also delicious and tasted just like it was hot off the grill. The bun was toasted too! They have plenty of toppings including pickles, horseradish, onions, and the other standards. I also happened to noticed they recently added deep fried bananas to their menu - YUM! If you're in Orleans (and maybe even if you're not!) you need to get yourself to this fantastic small business. Now that I know it exists, I'm really going to have to limit my indulgences! read more

Incredibly friendly staff, very fast service, at a more than reasonable price. Hands down the best poutine in the region. Yes, that includes Gatineau. The fries are very flavourful and slightly sweet. I don't know what kind of potatoes they use, but they are absolutely perfect to counteract the saltiness of the cheese and gravy. The cheese is well distributed throughout and if you get extra cheese you'll be looking at a perfect 50/50 fry to cheese ratio. The gravy has some depth to it and a savoury/peppery finish. I can't really fault this poutine for anything. It's as close to perfection as you'll find in the National Capital Region. As far as traditional poutines go, this might beat out any Quebec poutine I've had to date. The only thing that might surpass it is a galvinaude poutine I had in Drummondville. read more

We were looking for something in the area and found this listing on Yelp. Sorry to disappoint (and disagree with everyone before me) but I'm putting this as simply A-OK (3 star), not the 5 star everyone else gives it. This is a poutine shack. As far as shacks go, it's good! There's even a small seating area for about 6 people at three tables. Customer service is great. Payment is cash only. Lots of parking in a private lot. All good. They offer burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, poutine, onion rings and fried bananas. Tried bacon cheeseburger, onion rings, poutine and the banana - most of the menu in other words. ;-) Burger - OK. Non descript bun, fresh toppings, slightly over-cooked burger. Poutine - dark gravy, good fries, good taste but very salty. Sharing a small with hubby was good. I could not eat a whole order myself due to the salt. Onion rings - delicious. Battered and crispy. Fried Banana - yummy, though after all of the above my heart wasn't in it. Some powered sugar would kick it up a notch, but I'd order it again. Of everything it was the greasiest. Overall enjoyed trying a new (to me) place, but it's not something I'd drive out of my way to go to. Would I return: If I'm in the area, and looking for poutine, yes. Woudl I recommend: Great for someone in the area. read more

Best poutine in Ottawa! Beats all the food trucks from PoutineFest. The fries are crispy and flavourful and the gravy and cheese just melt in your mouth. Really deserted location, but if you drive on St.Joseph a lot, you'll definitely have spotted this orange food truck before. Most of the time it's not too busy, and it's ready pretty fast. Every time I'm back in Ottawa for a weekend, I have to visit Fritomania. read more

The little orange chip shack on St. Joseph in Orleans has been in operation for many years. Great for fresh cut fries. I particularly like their Italian sausage. Closes in early December and does not open until March. read more

Um, yes. I flew into YOW, Ubered to my hotel, dropped off my bags, and literally took an Uber to Fritomania. True story. When in the area, one must poutine. Unfortunately, I didn't know the location was cash only until I was ready to place my order, but there's an ATM less than a half-mile down the road, so after grabbed some cash, I walked back and ordered a medium poutine. The order came out quickly and there was plenty of space at the picnic tables outside for me to sit and enjoy the very generous serving. The fries were hot and crisp, the gravy was salty and savory, and the cheese curds were melty without losing their shape. Basically, this was everything I wanted after traveling for seven hours. I took more than half of the serving home to my hotel room which I enjoyed later as a late-night snack. The employees who work at Fritomania are seriously some of the most smiley people I've ever met. They were super welcoming, friendly, polite...and even willing to write a receipt out for me (required by my company). I don't know when I'll next back back in Orleans, but when I am, I'll be sure to pick up some poutine here! read more

Ordered a family size poutine- picture probably shown below. Typical size female hand for bad scale. Kind of like how bad the numbers on your scale will be after deciding you're a family of 1. Would do it again. read more

Fritomania - Family size poutine - Poutineries Near Me - Orleans, Ontario

Love this place. Huge portions and the price is right. The fries and poutines are amazing, one of my favourites in the city. Staff is always friendly and the service speed is pretty average for a chip stand. I've been going here for years and the food has always been pretty consistent. Worth stopping by every couple months. Summer months are nice to sit out on the picnic tables or you can always take it to go. read more

Yummy poutine! It's all in the gravy! Ironic thing is that it's in the same plaza as a Weight Watchers! :-) read more

Haven't had poutines all over the city but hands down the best place in ottawa in my opinion. By far better than elgin dinner and has many options for dressing your poutine, not like elgin of course because it's a ship wagon. Small warning they use peanut oil. Wish they took interact but this is definitely somewhere I will frequenting. read more

Fritomania - Beast of a poutine, ordered this was not expecting this much. Got moneys worth and the taste is unbelievable!!! - Poutineries Near Me - Orleans, Ontario

Little poutine shack with amazing poutine! Busy spot, and I now know why! Great place to stop by on a nice sunny day to sit on the picnic tables. Definitely recommend! read more

Unfortunately, it is not healthy for me to eat deep fried foods, but I cannot resist the occasional visit to the chip wagon. And this is the one I do visit. Their fries are fried in peanut oil which gives the potatoes that unique chip wagon taste. These are the best French fries in the area. They have won the CJOH prize for the best poutine in Ottawa a couple of years ago. They also serve hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, sweet potato fries, etc. I have not tried any of these but they are popular to other clients that order there. The staff are very friendly, and their prices are reasonable. If you like French fries, you gotta try Fritomania! read more

My mouth waters just thinking about their poutine. I absolutely refuse to have poutine anywhere else, it would be like cheating on my spouse. Down side is they close for a bit over the winter months but I don't hold that against them. read more

I thought I'd give this place a try after reading all the great reviews on yelp. Did not live up to the hype. The poutine was ok. I could really taste the chicken broth in the gravy which left quite the after taste. I found both the fries and the curds to be a bit oily. Portions are good for the price though. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Of you have a craving for Poutine (or great fries) : look no further!!!! This is a place that is well known to locals... and doesn't need advertising. Ask for the homemade pepper (yeah.... I know it's weird but it's a thing!) Enjoy! You won't be disappointed! read more

One of the best poutines I've had ordered with bacon for an extra dollar. The large poutine was very filling would highly recommend. Note that they only accept cash. read more

Gotta dock a star, their sausage and hot dogs aren't anything spectacular. The person I was with did love their burger. So I'll stick to burgers and poutine. read more

Frito! If you know poutine you know this place is tough to beat. I have to admit I've been going here almost 20 years and haven't felt the need to try anything other than a poutine and the odd pogo. Be ready to wait a bit usually, cause everyone else knows how good it is too. read more

Great Poutine! Big servings. Fries cooked in peanut oil which makes them super tasty! Sad this is only open seasonally! You can call in advance and order! read more

I CANNOT believe someone has not written a review of this place. This is the BEST poutine ever. Okay, a caveat. I'm a Californian who was introduced to poutine ten years ago when I started dating the man who is now my husband. I have eaten a lot in the years since I first had it off a chip wagon in the Byward Market in Ottawa. The first thing we usually want when we get into Canada is generally a poutine. Now, for the Americans out there who haven't been introduced to the joys of poutine, it's a heart attack on a plate. It's just so wrong and yet so right. Poutine has three ingredients: fries, cheese curds and gravy. Call the cardiologist before you go. Most people I tell about poutine in the US look at me as if I was saying eat Alpo on fries. Fritomania is run by two very friendly Vietnamese people. They have a fry machine like they have at In n Out burgers that cachunks the freshly peeled potatoes into perfect fries. They fry their potatoes to perfection in peanut oil. The fries are crisp even drenched in gravy. Their gravy is a mix made with chicken stock which gives it a level of flavour that is so different from what you get at some place like New York Fries (which isn't bad when you need a poutine fix). The curds are St Albers which have a nice give when they aren't melted dreamily over the hot fries. They aren't excessively salty curds which is good since the gravy is salty enough. The person who told us about Fritomania drove us out from Kanata to Orleans for the "best poutine in the world." If that doesn't impress people from the Ottawa area, here's the kicker: she's a hard core vegetarian. Yeah. Fritomania can make a vegetarian reconsider. We went twice in one week during our recent visit to Ottawa. My husband and I nearly demolished a family sized poutine (a big take away box for $10.75) and on our last visit, I took down a large poutine ($6). They have hot dogs, burgers, pogos (aka corndogs) etc but their main focus is poutine. The place is always mobbed. It's in the same parking lot as an Asian restaurant and ....Weight Watchers. I bet they have a hard time getting people to lose weight with Fritomania there. Go. Go get the best poutine ever. read more

i don't really need to review this place... its just that awesome if you havn't tried it, well this is probably the best place in ottawa for a poutine (maybe canada)... the gravy is thick but not too thick and it has some zingy bite... there is more than enough cheese(curds) so you won't complain for those unaware they use peanut oil so be warned peanut allergy folk! for the health conscience... no its not that healthy to eat here consider this a treat/cheat for your month read more

Everyone seems to be focusing on just their poutine. There are several other reasons why Fritomania is the best chip stand in eastern Ottawa.. Bacon cheese dogs, sausages, bacon cheese burgers.. And that's just the food. The guys who work there, always remember their customers, they greet us with a very warm welcome, and if it isn't on the menu, they will make it for you anyways. Fritomania isn't only the BEST POUTINE, it is hands down just simply. The BEST EVERYTHING!!! read more

One thing I cannot deny is that there food is not bad. But that being said is that they are the only frie shack that uses peanut oil!! given that a large portion the people have a peanut allergy, I find it unreasonable that they haven't changed to a more common oil so that everyone can enjoy their products. Most of my friends and family haves peanut and nut allergy and it is regrettable that they cannot enjoy this food. Before all you naysayers start bitching like you love doing so, I am fully aware that changing the would ultimately change the taste but only in a extremely tiny amount. read more
