fritz european fry house

i would recommend this joint for a quick stop if you are in the area with a few friends. made you feel that you went to europe for a quick 20 mins.

while lbp is infamous for its traditional cheese curds that don't melt, fritz is known for the exact opposite -- cheese curds that melt in your poutine. this was good in its own way; i do like my melted cheese, but just thinking about cheese curds squeaking amuses me oh so much.

best pouting and garlic dip! great especially after a night out

i like it, you do get a lot of fries, but it is expensive, should come with a free dip, won't go often.

2 medium, 1 with chicken which made it deceptively heavy. plus 1 water and one sprite, came to $18.50 the gravy was a little salty. the place is a hole in the wall, expect to stand if it's very busy

the large was pretty big but next time i would probably get the jumbo for sharing. the fries were hot and fried fresh in the store while we waited and they were still crispy by the time we were able to sit down and eat it.

below expectations. it was fine, it really was, but i was left disappointed because of the buzz. the fries weren't crispy enough for me, and were just generally not very memorable. i might try the poutine at some point, but i won't be rushing back.

i've tried out fritz european fry house twice in the past few months. the first time, was after a quick snack over at the roll factory (and before an awesome meal at gotham steakhouse ) at about 6:30pm. my friend wanted some and i agreed to share a large poutine with smoked meat on top ($9.50). maybe because i wasn't super hungry and wanting to save space for an expensive meal at gotham, but the poutine was good, but not amazing. i liked that the fries were crispy and airy in the middle. the cheese curds were quite large, and melted with the hot gravy. there was pretty decent chunks of montreal smoked meat. when we went, it wasn't busy at all, and maybe us and 2 other people grabbed some poutine. it took quite a while to get our food. i guess at this time it's not busy at all, so he doesn't have fries sitting around, so everything is fresh. problem is you have to wait. we waited about 10 minutes. the second time was just last week after a night out drinking. there was quite a lon

their poutine prices are very close to la belle patate's on davie. they offer 4 sizes. we opted for the largest - the bucket $10.50 - and between two people this was just the right amount of food. they gave ample amounts of gravy and cheese. it was bordering on too much gravy (if that is possible) and at the bottom it resembled soup with fries in it rather than fries with gravy on top. this wass delicious but i think i still prefer the belgian fries on commercial.

is it 2 am? do you have the munchies?. well, if it is, it just might be time for fritz. sure, it's small and you are going to have to throw some elbows to work through the drunken crowd but it's worth it. they do give me the stink eye when my american nature shows and i turn down their vast array of sauce for simply good ol' ketchup.

oh, and if you have a drinking team mate, you can divide and conquer. one of you can fight through the crowd for fries. the other can cruise across the street to tsui hang village's window and get some mongolian beef or some other sort of greasy but good chinese food.

oh, back to fritz the fries are yummy. i can't comment on their poutine. but my canadian friends seem to like it.

well cheers - go get drunk - and then go get some fries!

really great tasting poutine. i have been hyped up to try this place out since a few months ago. finally got a chance to get out to downtown and ordered a plain poutine. the fries were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the cheese curds were soft and all melty, the gravy was consistent (not too salty, not too bland), and not to mention the cheese and gravy were layered with the fries and not just on top.

price is reasonable, but overall it's worth any price. it's so good. i will be back to try the other mix-ins.

as part of our downtown food adventure , kish and i visited fritz for a small poutine ($4.50). this is the only other store i've been in (apart from la belle patate ) that sells mainly fries/poutines and nothing else (except for hot dogs). the store was s

i come from a franco family and no this is not traditional franco poutine, but it's great in its own right. it's a dutch fry house not a québécois poutine place. the staff is amazing. i go every 2 months yet they always remember my order. i highly recommend it.

pas de la vrai bonne poutine!. not so good. the fries were too dry, and the cheese was soft. good quebec-style fries are a little soft and very slightly sweet. the cheese should stay cold on the inside to give a cool texture and the all important squeak. they aren't supposed to melt completely. the cheese also tasted more cheddary than regular cheese curds. the gravy was fine.

if this is the best that b.c. has to offer, i'm waiting until i'm in quebec (or some parts of ontario) until i have another poutine.

good quality fries, fantastic dipping options. parking a little tricky between 3-6 pm. good take-out place (very little seating).
