    This Canadian is finally trying some American Poutine Gilbert Feastival!
    Say M.

    Let me preface this review by saying I am Canadian AF and if you cut me open I'd probably bleed cheese curds and poutine gravy. Finally got to try American Poutine Co by catching them at Gilbert Feastival. I was super excited because I love that they've brought poutine, a dirty Canadian staple, to the desert. Unfortunately have a few critiques on their poutine which ultimately missed the mark for me! Poutine is pretty much a delicious SLOP of fries, drowning in gravy with cheese curds that are squeaky bouncy fresh, yet also softened from the piping hot gravy. For me there just wasn't enough gravy. Next, it wasn't hot enough to adequately soften the fries OR cheese curds. Overall, this made the texture of the whole thing all wrong - as it was too crispy and dry, cheese curds were cold and hard, and there were a lot of uncoated, hard fries at the bottom. I'm not sure if they choose to make it this way since a sloppy slightly-mushy poutine isn't maybe what Americans customers think they want. But that's what makes real poutine amazing - it's a sloppy dirty mess of deliciousness and when you get down to the bottom of the tub the fries should still be sitting in gravy! Maybe next time I could ask for extra - but I'm still glad American Poutine Co exists, and I would definitely give em another shot to try and win this canadian glutton's heart.

    I often drive up to Tempe for school related activities and I never go without stopping at at least 3 places to eat. I went to The American Poutine on a whim since I realized it was a hot minute since I'd had the taste of delicious gravy soaked fries in my mouth. I got the original flavor, as I'm a creature of habit and need someone to gas me up before I venture out of my comfort zone. It was served in a nice sustainable paper/cardboard box (+1 environment yay!). Perfect amount of gravy and the curds were très bon. I'd give this place a five if it weren't for the crispness of the fries. Typically, I prefer a light crunch with my poutine but the fries were on the heavier side of the crunchy scale. Nonetheless, delicious! And the guy working there was nice Photos are edited with VSCO or Lightroom and may not be true to color lol

    Mmmm. Gravy .......

    My wife had the bacon poutine and loved it. They asked her if she needed more gravy so the6could give her a side of it. Nice that they didn't skimp, and she said it was awesome sauce!

    Awesome food if you love Poutine. A bit salty on some occasions, but never a disappointment for good poutine. Staff were all friendly and expedient to get your order right and ready to go.

    I've lived in Phx for 4.5 years now. Moved from Canada and have yet to find a place that serves authentic poutine! I've been craving it for sooooo long and this place hit the nail on the head! I got the original poutine because I wanted to be able to compare it to what I know from back home. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Delicious thick gravy that was so hot it melted the cheese curds, and crispy fries! Will definitely back!

    Yet again I have found another hidden gem in this food truck. I will say I stepped out of my comfort zone trying this place because I'd never had Poutine not was I really sure what it was. Yeah yeah lame right? After talking with the women taking orders and asking some questions I decided on the Buffalo Chicken Poutine. Really great flavor with just enough kick to it. I couldn't finish the entire thing because it was such a huge portion so I shared with a coworker. Goes to show trying new things can be very tasty.

    I love their food!!! The cheese curds are so fresh and amazing. I've had many different dishes and every one has been amazing. My favorite dish is the veggie works. Just wish they were closer to me or came to the west side more!!!

    Came in with the family for poutine. Ordered chili fries, buffalo fries, original poutine and the chicken tenders/fries box for the kids. I asked the girl working how big the chicken order was and was told it was 4 strips and lots of fries. The menu says "juicy, breaded, 100% chicken". The order came out with 4 dried up tiny little nuggets. I checked to see if we got the wrong order and was told that they didn't have the strips and are substituting the nuggets. Not sure why this info wasn't given up front. 1 strip would probably equal all 4 of these nuggets. And they definitely weren't juicy 100% chicken. Had to go to Del Taco after to fill the kids up.

    I'm soooooo down!!!!  Team veggie  Team fried chicken

    This was a very nice time. I enjoyed the service and the staff Was amazing. I went late afternoon which was nice, cause it was quite and a quit warm environment. I'd recommend this place to all my friends. I'll be back!

    Not only does the food suck (Had it at the Scottsdale Beer Fest) but just had the driver of the truck cut us off where we had to slam on our brakes and swerve. My kids started crying from getting scared. Would never recommend this truck to anyone.

    See all

    This place needs to get their landlord to fix the smell from the adjacent hair salon. Horrible.
