If you love comfort food as much as I do, visiting Golden Fries in Orleans is an absolute must. Their fresh-cut fries are made daily and fried to a perfect golden crisp, forming the base for some of the best loaded poutines in the area. What sets them apart is the generous layering of rich gravy, cheese curds, and a variety of mouthwatering toppings that create a truly indulgent experience. One of my personal favorites is their pulled pork poutine, smothered in tangy barbecue sauce that pairs wonderfully with the crispy fries and melted cheese. Another standout is the deep-fried hot honey chicken sandwich – a perfect sweet and spicy combination that’s packed with flavor and crunch. Their pulled pork burger, featured in a special collaboration with local barbecue chefs, also offers a smoky twist that comfort food lovers will appreciate. What I find really special about Golden Fries is that it is women-owned and locally operated, which adds an extra layer of authenticity and commitment to quality that you don’t always find at food trucks. The vibe during summer evenings at their spot on Jeanne d’Arc Blvd is lively and inviting, making it a great place to try a variety of comfort food favorites. If you’re exploring Orleans for hidden food gems, this is definitely a highlight. Whether you’re craving traditional poutine loaded with cheese curds and gravy or want to try inventive comfort food like their chicken parm sandwich or veggie burger options, Golden Fries delivers on all fronts. Their hours from Tuesday to Sunday make it convenient to plan a visit, and the friendly staff add to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, if you’re in the Ottawa area and want a taste of seriously loaded poutine and creative comfort food, head over to Golden Fries. It’s a local treasure and a perfect example of why Orleans deserves more hype among foodies. Every bite is cheesy, saucy, and packed with flavor — I would happily drive out for these flavors anytime.
