(T)he poutine (large, $3.75) was a typical casse-croute one. The fries, it should be said, were outstanding -- well above a typical casse croute fries -- and probably do well on their own. When the cook piled on mounds and mounds of cheese curds, and about a ladel and a half of light-brown sauce, a minor chord struck: too high of cheese to sauce ratio, the fries were barely wet. But, after waiting a few minutes (while I was distracted elsewhere) the platter had successfully melted into the required glom, always a good sign when a poutine maker knows how sauce the hot needs to be. The Pool Room serves a useful poutine, perfect for the end of a head-bashing, beer-soaked night.
