You wont miss the yellow and blue chip wagon. I was craving a poutine and this was one of the only chip wagons that were open in the hood at noon on a Sunday. Ordered the family size with extra curds. $16.00. Feeds about 3, maybe even 4 depending how hungry you are. The fries are perfect! Crispy and salted and cooked just right. Almost a little sweet too. Gravy was on point and decadent and salty. Curds were gooey. No complaints, really good poutine and it hit the spot. Definitely recommend checking out if you have a craving for poutine.

Wow. No words. AMAZING…read more There's no sign for Sasha, just a white sack that says poutine, hot dogs, sausages. There's seating in the back. Amazing. No words it was immaculate. Poutine had lots of gravy and cheese curds, every bite had the perfect ratio. Even with so much sauce and cheese, fries are crispy even after 30 minutes of eating. The gravy is so well flavored, I liked the bowl clean of the gravy with my sausage. The polish sausage was amazing- Smokey juicy and grilled so yummy. The bread was soft and melted so well with the sausage. I put some gravy on top of the sausage and wow. A MUST! CASH ONLY BTW! The lady so sweet and explained the different flavorings of the sausages :) SO WORTH IT! The best places are the local mom and pop shops! :)

Regrettably, I did not get poutine, but I did get a sausage and it was great!…read more I'm not normally in this area at all, especially at night on a weekend, but we were on the patio at the Laff across the street for a friend's birthday and wanted some grub with our drinks after the Laff's kitchen had closed. We walked over to this little stand, which I actually had no idea existed, to get something quick to-go. There was no line late on a Friday night. We got a few different sausages and poutines and brought them back over to eat on the Laff's patio. It had been a long while since I had a grilled Polish sausage, so that's what I got with a little ketchup, mustard, and some chopped raw white onions. The sausage was perfect, tasty, hot, and not overcooked, just what I was craving and very satisfying. There was only one person behind the counter, a young guy who was very sweet, super fast, and we were really impressed he remembered everything we ordered. They have a small menu of your standard chip wagon fare - fries and poutine, hot dogs and sausages, pogos, and drinks, plus ice cream. Great spot that's open late (until 3am I think) for before/during/after a night out at the bars.

Many places make them way too salty (ex. Costco's, Smokey's...) The cheese curds are heated so hot it melts into the gravy. I would have to say that this is my favorite place for poutine. A large poutine runs $6.50 CAD. A good size to share as a snack with one or two friends. There's plenty of free parking in their private lot. Plenty of covered outdoor seating.

It has the sort of slightly rundown appearance of a place that you would expect to have delicious burgers and fries. I tried the burger and the poutine. The burger was really disappointing. The bun had sort of a weird soft quality like it had been microwaved. The meat wasn't really bound together at all and had a sort of crumbly quality similar to meatloaf. While the tomato was fresh, I had asked for the burger without it. The french fries were decent, but they would have stood up to the gravy better if they had been crispier. The gravy and cheese were salty, delicious, and plentiful.

The Blooming Onion is often listed as the best chip wagon in Ottawa to get poutine, especially by…read moreXPress' annual reader's poll. However, I think its location gives it an edge, especially since no other chip wagons are allowed in the market. The poutine is still tasty and not too heavy. I also really like the owner and he seems to be popular amongst other patrons as well. It's obvious he enjoys his job. However, the poutine isn't phenomenal, the prices are a bit high and the hours are short and unpredictable. If you can catch it open and you're craving a poutine fix in the market, this is a pretty sweet spot to go. If you're a vegetarian, don't fret because the gravy has no meat products. ...I don't think I've encountered anyone who actually had a blooming onion at the Blooming Onion.

BEST CHIPS IN OTTAWA!…read more This is my second visit to Ottawa and last time I went to a few other places and this is definitely the best poutine I have had in Ottawa. The fires were crispy, the curds were squeaky and the gravy was delicious. Id also like to shout out the person who took our order; she was super friendly and asked me to share my thoughts after, which just made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. It's in a Canadian Tire parking lot, which just adds to the Canadian vibe. 5/5 amazing place!

I'm convinced this is the best poutine in the city. It's always relatively busy, but the wait is…read morenever too long. The fries are the perfect balance between crispy and soggy, and the amount of gravy is enough to achieve that while still having enough gravy on the fries on the bottom. Also, the cheese curds are super squeaky! I've tried other chip trucks but nothing seems to compare to crispy chips. There are a few picnic tables outside where you can sit, which is nice.

The Best Chip Wagon by Kennedy Flower Shop isn't the best place to go for poutine, in my opinion,…read morebut it's still pretty good. The owner is always very pleasant, he doesn't skimp on the curds and gravy, plus their prices are fair. The wagon is at a bus stop for the 1, 4 & 7, and it's good enough that I see people quickly try to order an impulse buy of poutine or a hotdog before their bus rolls around. I've also seen people miss the bus by the final slamming of the door because they took this gamble. My major complaint is their short hours. They seem to cater to the work crowd because they're only open from the late morning until around 6pm. With its location and clientèle, I think they could drum up a better business if they stayed open longer, but since it only seems to employ the owner and one other person, I can understand that they'd want to keep short hours. If you're really in a bind for late chip wagon poutine, you may be able to get some at Bank and Laurier and you'll most definitely be able to find an open chip wagon on Bank and Sunnyside.

The Long Version: My husband and I love Farmers' Markets and since the Parkdale Farmers' Market is within walking distance for us, we go often. This year (2025) we noticed a new vendor: Tito Leo's BBQ. So we had to check it out. We got a small chicken BBQ platter with half rice and half fries ($10 taxes included). The rice is Java rice, which is rice cooked in chicken broth and turmeric. It was good and more exciting than just plain white rice. The fries were shoestring fries, my favourite cut. The chicken was chopped up BBQ chicken layered on top of the rice and fries. A tangy BBQ sauce was poured over everything. The chicken was tender and moist. I would have preferred less BBQ sauce because the dish was a little too saucy for my liking, but overall I still really enjoyed it. My husband liked it too. Service was courteous and efficient. They have a few private tables in front of their kiosk, but there's the main seating for the market too if those tables are occupied. There's also picnic tables at Parkdale Park right next to the market. We were lucky to score one of the private tables. There are a few parking spots at The Parkdale Farmers' Market. Otherwise, there's street parking, both paid and free spots in the area. Review #123 (2025)
