Big D's Dog House & Poutine Emporium

Happy to stumble on this little place! Fun and tasty range of gourmet options that can be paired with a hot dog, sausage, burger, or poutine; plus food truck classics of course. Pleasantly surprised to see the bamboo sporks. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic. We had a classic poutine with extra curds and a "Closing Time" poutine which was topped with Donair meat, onion and Donair sauce. Curds were plentiful, fries were cooks just right and the gravy was tasty but not super salty, all in good proportions. The gourmet toppings were really good and didn't detract from the poutine or overwhelm it. Bonus, the containers were biodegradable and came with wooden utensils so everything could be composted. Definitely be back!

Excellent as usual! Had the Closing Time Burger and my wife had the Classic burger with cheese. Delicious! Thanks guys, we love Big D's.

Ordered a large poutine and large fry for the kiddos . Definitely not the case, comparable to a small maybe a medium at best to every other chip wagon. Order a family size and over pay for it if you want to feed two 3 year olds. Lol ordered a small the other day from another chipwagon that was bigger in the paper box for less money

not great, seems they conned me out of $5.... Gave them a $20 for $8 burger got $12 in change, gave them $10 for $3 dollar topping got $2 dollar on change... Basically paid $16 for $11 burger. Watch out for them.... food OK tho. so whatever.

Awesome is the only way to describe, Everyone raves a about some Fat guys chip truck in barrhaven and kemptville, they have nothing on BIG D’S DOGHOUSE - get in there and get the best food on the planet Totally recommended

Missed the basics of good poutine but wanted to charge premium for it. Excessive 5 stars reviews seemingly without foundation. I've eaten poutine all over Ontario and Quebec. Many tokens in other chip trucks advertise their quality features to distinguish themselves ex. St Albert cheese curds, other specialty cheeses in parts of Quebec, cooking fries in peanut oil, crispy fries, good quality dogs, jumbo all beef dogs, Bun master type hot buns, fresh cut fries etc. This had gourmet written everywhere without the supporting tokens or posted details for what quality or size you were actually ordering. Containers are visible for reason elsewhere. This had the same rating as two another favourite trucks that are too far away be practical. This wasn't even close to equivalent. This was a new truck for me that was open when a lot of others were still closed. I bought a hot dog combo with poutine here. Despite a offering a mountain of "gourmet toppings" you could pay $3 extra for the basics provided at good quality competitors for free were not available even at an extra charge. It was not a good deal for what I got. Commendable attempts at better waste handling with biodegradable containers and a wood fork but without a compost in an extra paper bag and with aluminum foil added to keep the container from failing. Foil is not compost-able so that is mixed waste that goes straight to the garbage. Why bother doing this half way? There were many signs of attempting to turn a basic comfort food into something you can charge premium rates for but the basics fell flat for me. Cold food despite eating it my car on site, not Costco but almost flavourless gravy, fries that tasted like cardboard, no olives, a single bad choice for a diet drink etc. When you are hungry enough to eat fast food chain poutine, which is usually horrible compared to chip truck grade poutine, and you get half way through something you paid significantly more for and are considering tossing it and going through said drive thru... Hopefully this will get used to improve but next time will be elsewhere for me...

Gourmet options here are awesome. We’ll be back to eat our way through the menu!

I have been going to different chip trucks in Ottawa. This place has fabulous food. The prices are very reasonable. I promise you that if you stop by and get something really good you will not be disappointed.

Was surprisingly delicious. Will definitely go there again. You must have the gourmet toppings!
