La Plank - Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

During our trip back to Vermont, we decided to make one last stop for poutine and we were certainly not let down! The servers were very friendly and it was great to see that they were all bilingual. The grilled cheese was also delicious.

We had a great experience at La Plank! The service was friendly and our food arrived promptly. The prices were fair and the food was delicious. The restaurant has two outdoor terraces and indoor seating options. Everyone at our table ordered poutine and we were impressed with the quality of the gravy and cheese curds. It was a first-time poutine experience for one of our friends, and he was pleased that it lived up to the hype from locals.

We went to get our dinner on a Saturday and even though there was some activity, I wouldn't qualify that time to be super busy. After ordering, we waited outside for over minutes to get hamburgers and grilled cheese. A lot of delivery companies...(Skip the. came and picked up orders before we had our food. At one point, nobody came in for about minutes and NO order came out (because we were not alone to wait). Needless to say, it was my first and last time I went to this place. Not even an acknowledgement that we waited a long time.

We choice this restaurant because of the favourable reviews on trip adviser. When we walked in no one came out from the back for a few minutes. We wanted to sit at a table with a bench seat but were told we had to take...a table at the window because the other tables were for the regulars. We took the table by the window but it was cold because my back was against the window. The whole time we were there only people came in. One sat at the bar and the other couple were allowed to sit at the table we had wanted. Besides this strange interaction with the guy behind the bar the food was good and our server was very friendly.

Despite being quite busy the night we were there, La Plank accommodated our party of easily, everyone enjoyed their meal, and the restaurant was simple yet trendy.
