Mean Poutine

Mean Poutine is one of the top choices for poutine in Vancouver. While they do offer hot dogs, and I have frequented this place ok sever occasions the point one has always been my go to. Place is busy on nights when the Granville strip is lit up. Definitely worth checking out after a night out on the town.

The Poutine here has been voted in the top of Vancouver's restaurant charts for years now, and once you try it for yourself, you'll understand why. It's literally a hidden gem, disguised as a little cubby in between two restaurants on Granville & Nelson. It's a family run business, and these ladies are pandemic all-stars - they stayed open throughout the entire pandemic - and that kind of dedication to a business that you're passionate about should say enough about the upstanding quality of this unique, eclectic little 'hole in the wall'.

Update May 14 2022: gave it another try… delicious! But they now charge 50 cents for green onions Update Feb 23 2021: went there today. had it to go and now that I'm home, the lady didn't put enough gravy, not enough cheese. they were so much better pre-COVID. not worth the $8 I paid for. I started to go to Mean Poutine after my favourite poutine place changed hands. mean Poutine is fabulous. The ladies behind the counter are always smiling. It is a family business - mother and daughter look like sisters; there may be others outside the family. I order the classic poutine and they put green onions 👍👍👍 I’m not sure what other flavours taste like. If you like my post and photos, please give me a thumbs up 👍 Thanks.

Wanted to grab a quick Poutine on the way home and stopped here. Signaled the lady behind the counter that I wanted to order. She was on the phone and gave me a quick hand signal that she was on a call. I waited 5 minutes and since she didn’t seem to care about me waiting I ended up walking next door to "The Moose" who served me a delicious poutine to go in 5-7 minutes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ordered the Mexicana and the Southern BBQ and was not surprised the Southern BBQ tasted absolutely rancid. The "pulled pork" must have been cooked earlier and left out during the day because as soon as I started eating the meat, something was just off. This establishment is hit or miss. Save some money and just get poutine from Costco since thats where the fries come from it seems.

Worst customer serivce ever! Me and my friend waited in the line for 15-20 minutes, when we were about to order we request the lady to change the gloves as we're allergic she denied and said she just sanitized the gloves. Literally, She just took the cash from us with her gloves on. We were like WOW Actually this is not the first time it happened! they're always rude but we always go to this location becoz that is the only one in downtown and we like poutine . This time we didn't get any food bcoz the lady refused to change her gloves

Website said they were open. Yelp and Google said they were open. Walked half way across Vancouver to get there only to find them closed. As I was looking for another poutine place, a person I'm assuming was the owner showed up and I asked if he was going to be opening. His response was "read the sign. It says closed"
