mean poutine

fought through the drunken hordes on a friday night for the promise offriedchicken poutine. thefriedchicken is just generic frozen buffalo chicken strips, but the gravy, curds, and fries were good, the green onions were a nice touch as well.

...friedchicken poutine... not bad; fries not crispy, esp the bits that were drowned in gravy (they were still ok, but it wasn't crispy as advertised...), but the chicken was! (i checked before ordering), chicken was pretty tasty too, although it looked slightly over fried

we got thefriedchicken poutine :) the fries were perfectly crisp, nice gravy. liked the crisp chicken pieces in there. the cheese was enough for the poutine . the price seems fairly reasonable. wasn't much of a wait and got our box/plate fairly quickly. we'd go here again if we crave some poutine.

mean poutine is located in the middle of downtown vancouver just off granville street on nelson.  great place in the neighborhood especially when i was craving crabs. poutine was great!  the price is slightly high but you will get what you expect it. menu board order counter and waiting/pick up area.  the staff was nice and friendly.  friedchicken @ $9 crispy fries, brown gravy, fresh cheese curds, buffalo chicken chunks fries were crispy; lots gravy and cheese.  the gravy was warm only.  wish the gravy could be hotter to eat with the cheese curds.   the bite size offriedchicken was tasty and flavorful.   great snacks during the day and late night; they open till 4am monday to saturday.    718 nelson st vancouver, bc v6z 1l2       http://www.meanpoutine.ca/  

mean poutine is a take-out window serving poutines and hot dogs. there is a small counter on the left hand side where people can stand and eat. we decided to get thefriedchicken poutine, the mama’s italian meatballs poutine, and the mac and cheese dog (as always, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs...classic hot dog topped with macaroni and cheese it was a big hot dog with simply sausage and mac & cheese on top. nothing too special, just as you would expect it.

gravy was cold. overall not bad...wish the gravy was hot. it wasn't busy. had thefriedchicken poutine...portion was big enough for 2 people.

one taste was all it took and just like that, i was hooked.  standing outside the takeout window just after midnight off of vancouver’s busiest party street, granville, i could feel the magic in the air.  the first few notes of journey’s don’t stop believing cut through the cold night like a knight saving his damsel from having to make the harrowing intoxicated voyage home without sustenance.  i knew something big was about to happen. to the left of the window, a menu features classic as well as the creative.  with poutines like philly cheese steak, southern bbq,friedchicken, mean meatball, and mean supreme, it’s almost difficult to make a choice.  philly cheese s

so goooood. all i can say is thefriedchicken poutine needs to be an option everywhere poutines are available. the bite sized chunks of battered buffalo chicken is so good, the gravy is tasty, the cheese curds delectable, although i could've used more, my poutines can always use more cheese curds! the fries here are awesome too, a light crispiness to them im going to guess from a quick dip in the deep fryer?

all in all, a must try for poutine aficionados.

unreal! hands down the bestfriedchicken poutine i have ever had! the green onions just make it even better! super nice people! must try if you are in vancouver area!!!

you vancouverites are crazy! it should be duely noted i take the holy trinity of fries cheese and gravy quite seriously. on desth row it would be my last meal. i was over here for a game and found myself craving poutine. being an avid fan of la belle patate in victoria my instincts were to go there. researching poutine online brought me to mean poutine a better rating than labelle no way?!friedchicken i gotta try this. so stoked to try this. initial impression seeing fries from a frozen bag was rather tainted. i then looked down to observe the cheese curds. small curds probably of the kingsley variety that a&w uses. i see myfriedchicken dropped in the deep fryer looks more like a bag of frozen chicken strips. i got thefriedchicken and the other 2 i was with go the mean poutine an the philly. it did taste good but i couldn't tell the fries were beer battered. didn't have the crunch or beer taste. if you are from quebec and i search of squeeky curds and fresh cut fries go to labelle. i would each at mean pout in again but only if i'm in the area i wouldnt o out of my way for it. i also found labelled had better portions.. so more for my buck and better quality cheese fries and tastier gravy i think labele

green onions??. the lady said the popular items were:friedchicken, philly cheese steak, mean supreme poutine, southern bbq. thefriedchicken is the most popular but it was disappointing. it was okay beer battered fries with little gravy and yellow cheese curds. the batter made it even more filling. my friend coming from quebec said the cheese curds should be white instead of yellow. i really like the mean supreme which comes with a spicy kick. i really don't like the idea that it comes with green onions. it says nothing about green onions on the menu. every poutine are prepared after the order was made. they did not have yam fries that day. she said they only have it when they are in season. when is that?? if i ever going to come back, i might try the southern bbq. i have a feeling that the meaty ones will be better.

on the hunt for more awesome poutine, a vancitybuzz reader mentioned that an alternative to fritz for late night eats is mean poutine on nelson and granville. they are just a small little shop, that offer a lot of different flavours, and the price isn’t too bad. besides the standard poutine, they also havefriedchicken, philly cheesesteak, mean supreme, mama’s meatball, southern bbq, and even candied yam poutine. or you can also build your own. you can get some hotdogs too. i ordered the classic poutine and thefriedchicken poutine. the beer bettered fries arefriedfresh, so at 5pm, i did have to wait about 15 minutes to get my order. before bringing the take out to my friends place. i took a look so i can get fresh pictures. the cheese was already very melted, and a lot thinner than the other poutines we’ve had. because of the batter, the fries kind of resembled kfc fries, where you could see the light airy batter bubble a bit and crisp up. these were quite a bit fatter t

we love going here! especially if my bf and i feel like pigging out, mean poutine is the way to go! it's massive!!friedchicken poutine is soo good! cheese, fries, gravy= yum!!

comatose. literally fell asleep for 5 hours after eating thefriedchicken poutine. maybe it was the jet lag though...
