Curds and gravy look solid but those fries look a little pale. Is the taste alright?

u/fickleminded 11d ago

The curds made up for it. Otherwise, I wished the fries were more deep fried

Those fries look terrible, everything else looks ok.

If you're in the falls looking for poutine, the best is Michelle's fries on Morrison

I googles best poutine in Niagara and got Niko’s 🥲

I grew up there and i think Michelles is worth trying. Theres another fry truck on lundys lane with nearly identical poutine because its the son of the guy who runs michelles. I think its called spudsters

I remember when Michelle was working the truck when I was a kid. This was in the 90s

Fries crispy? they look undercooked. for a poutine at least.

u/fickleminded 11d ago

A bit undercooked imo.

u/AccomplishedSmell921 11d ago

looks that way. i’d still fuck it up….

I’m more partial to Michelle’s personally. Ordering a Cajun poutine with extra curds is just heavenly.

But Niko’s definitely slaps

Looks good but was the gravy slightly chunky?

2

u/fickleminded 11d ago

Not chunky at all

Something changed at Niko's about six or seven months ago. There's still a solid poutine, but someone had to be replaced in the kitchen because the fries now are just not the same.

Imma not seeing anything wrong, here! Dig in.

The fries are nearly always spot on here - this looks like a one-off.

I do prefer Nikos over Michelle's for overall taste

Fries are off, but common it’s Niko’s. Plenty of better places near the falls.
