Smoked Meat Sandwich
Aileen L.

Friendly service, filling and delicious food! I called ahead because I had a Groupon which they did not give me trouble about using. They also have a menu of daily specials which I will have to take advantage of in the future. The building is on the corner of a strip that is nestled between large business buildings. Because I was splitting the meal with someone who did not want mustard, they offered to put mustard packets on the side for the Smoked Meat sandwich. The rye bread was soft and fluffy and the sandwiched was filled with thin cut meat that was well seasoned. The traditional gravy for the poutine is nicely seasoned and the spices in it give it a mild kick. Between two people, this was a very filling meal.

Eclair

Cute truck, good service, fine food. Loved the desserts (shared the eclair, macarons, and Nanaimo bar,) but found the poutine to be underwhelming. Especially loved the pistachio macaron. The cheese curds and fries tasted sub par, but the gravy was good. Also really enjoyed the smoked meat sandwich. The employees working in the truck were great!

Poutine.  If you don't know it, you gotta try it.

I stumbled upon Pop Up Poutine inside Pike Kitchen and decided to give it a try, eh? Sorry, but if you're not familiar with poutine, you need to give this place a try. It's legit and authentic poutine. Earthy, salty french fries with warm, savory gravy and perky cubes of cheese curds. This is the best poutine I've had south of the border. Makes me wanna crank up the Rush and Sarah McLachlan and put on my tuke.

poutine with montreal smoked meat + traditional gravy
Jasna R.

Was happy to see that Pop-up Poutine *popped up* on my Doordash app. I had wanted to try this place for awhile, when they weren't available on weekends or delivery for me to drive there. My partner and I ordered a poutine with traditional gravy and montreal smoked meat, an eclair (not pictured), cream puffs, and a Vegetarian Delight poutine (not pictured). Everything was packed well -- gravy had its own container so the fries wouldn't arrive soggy. Cheese curds were squeaky good. Gravy was yummy, though I couldn't done with maybe another container for a more "authentic amount" of slather, if my memories visiting the True North serve me correctly. As opposed to another reviewer who really liked the desserts and the poutine less so, I was not impressed at all with the eclair and cream puffs. Maybe it had to do with them being delivered -- but they were both a bit too hard (maybe kept colder for delivery?) and didn't have much depth of flavor or interesting textures. In other words, they reminded me of grocery store desserts -- inoffensive, what you'd expect -- except with a slight restaurant markup. That's too bad, but I'm glad at least their signature items satisfied us. If I were to order again, I would try some of their other poutine toppings like the slaw -- and completely skip their desserts.

Montreal smoked meat 1/2 sandwich
Hilary T.

Pop up Poutine and Patisserie's food truck has been serving up great poutine and baked goods (great macarons!) at local breweries (and other places, I imagine) for awhile now, bringing a welcome chance to try Canadian and Montreal-specific delicacies. This brick and mortar spot makes it even easier to try more of what they've got! I got one of their lunch specials, the Montreal combo, which came with a half Montreal smoked meat sandwich, a half poutine, and a drink. This place is the only spot around that has the authentic Montreal smoked meat, and it's a delicious corned beef/pastrami/brisket style of meat with great seasoning. It was rich without feeling heavy, and tasted like a very juicy, flavorful corned beef. Definitely worth checking out. The poutine, though - it was so good that it instantly made me realize every Gastropub version I've had has been a lie. This rich, thick sauce - which is vegetarian, amazingly! - has tons more peppery, mushroom umami flavor than I expected, and the big chunks of cheese curds were perfect, too. The poutine is absolutely a must-try, whether you top it with meats or not. This place also sells the elusive Montreal bagel, which I've seen on travel and food shows but never experienced. It's a smaller, less risen bagel that's supposed to be a bit sweeter. We got the sesame version and it was amazing - tons of sesame seeds, a nice hard crust outside with a soft, delicious inside, great flavor throughout. (Did I eat two roughly seconds after saying I was just having a bite of one? Absolutely. I blame deliciousness.) Don't skip the desserts here, either - the macarons are great and I'm now obsessed with the Nanaimo bar, a delicious three layered frozen dessert with a graham crackery base, custard icing, and a dark, sweet chocolate ganache.

I have visited Canada numerous times over the years, since I was a little girl, but I don't recall ever eating "Traditional" Canadian cuisine! However, very recently I found myself googling traditional Canadian foods when a family member was going for a week to Canada. Ironically, this Food Truck Eatery - called "Pop-Up Poutine" - serves up almost all the foods that make the list of most traditional Canadian foods! So, I just had to try them out when they were making a stop in Northern Virginia not too far from where I live! (they are based in Rockville, MD). I decided to try out the poutine, which I've had before in the US but they were selling this as the real deal! I got mine with "meat," which turned out to be corned beef. I also ordered 2 traditional Canadian sweets: a butter tart and Nanaimo bar. When I brought my food home, I also discovered that I ended up with a hot dog too! The poutine was very good. Poutine is generally not my favorite dish but they did a really good job with it, and it was a portion that easily could feed 2 people! The Nanaimo Bar was delicious! The bar is very unique with its layers of vanilla custard, coconut, graham crust, and topped with ganache! The Butter Tart was also great and very usual; I was surprised to find raisins in it! They also sell macrons, eclairs and cream puffs, but the butter tart and Nanaimo bar are 2 sweets you just don't find at bakeries in the area. You can order their food for pickup in MD or check out their web site (popuppoutine.com) to see where their truck will be. I now have a new appreciation for Canada's cuisine! Next time I visit our country's neighbor, I'm definitely going to only stick to their traditional dishes! But until then, I'm thankful for this food truck for allowing me a taste of Canada!

Colorful truck
Chris C.

This is a new truck to the neighborhood. It's about time since for months we kept getting the same trucks over and over. Most of them are not bad but you just get tired of the same food - after all one of the advantages of food trucks is the possibility for variety. Anyway, not sure about the signature dish the poutine so ordered the Jacques platter - the smoked meat is similar to corned beef but fattier, fries very tasty, sausage roll - nice pastry shell but the sausage is one of the blandest, and for dessert the butter tart - a total winner, extremely rich and buttery - good size for sharing too, something I'll definitely order again next time.

I reached out to Spilled Milk Catering for a wedding quote and unfortunately the experience was…read moredisappointing from the beginning. While other catering companies responded within 1-2 business days, it took Spilled Milk nearly a week to get back to me. Once they did, they asked me to complete a questionnaire, which I did promptly. Sadly, I heard nothing for almost another week. After following up myself, they finally responded and informed me that they could not provide a quote unless I had already secured a venue. During that same week, we had spoken with 8 other catering companies who had no problem providing thoughtful proposals without needing our venue locked in. Spilled Milk's justification? "We are not a copy and paste catering company." The response came off more condescending than professional. If this is the level of communication and inflexibility they show before being hired, I can only imagine what it would be like working with them through the planning process. This whole interaction made my fiancé and I feel like our business was not worth their time. We regret wasting our energy on a company that clearly had a "we are too good for you" mentality from the start.

Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.
