The poutine was overly seasoned with MUSTARD and unfriendly customer service at The Queens restaurant, from what I understand that was not the traditional recipe. The Million Dollar Bacon was worth every maple syrupy bite, the host was extremely gracious and kind he allowed us to seat 35 minutes early, And the beaver tails were very good.”
