To be fair you can make any type of poutine at home. It's fries, toss some cheese on top and pour gravy. I don't agree that La Belle is even comparable to Costco poutine... I literally tossed half my Costco poutine in the trash. Gravy was way too salty and the cheese was cold and rubbery like an eraser.
The prices are on par with most Vancouver poutine shops, the traditional large poutine (which is freakin' huge) is $10. The Jumbo poutine at Fritz is $11. So technically they are all overpriced. The nonchalant attitude of the 2 fat guys could be improved but it's a fast food fry shop. I wasn't expecting much and they are pretty funny sometimes.

edit: I have to agree with Verdasco, charging $13.5 for a large is quite expensive to me, lol i was expecting the best poutine ever but it was mediocre at best. The sausage tasted liek it was just microwaved and cut up and put on top

I think you might be in the minority hehe. Squeaky cheese with crispy fries is the best! Why would you want to eat a soft mushy pile of melted cheese with soggy fries swimming in gravy?
$13.50 is for those speciality poutines that load on different toppings isn't it? I think the traditional large is $10. The medium is more than enough for me at $8.
The "Lucic Poutine" with all the toppings at Mean Poutine is like $19, now that is overpriced lol.

probably ate it at 10 different places over the two times i've been, and the vast majority of times in the little old "traditional" places by the time you dig in it's a fucking soup on your plate lol

True, when I hit up Montreal I was super pumped about trying "The best Poutine in Canada" in this famous little shop called Le Banquis, however it came out a soupy mess and I did not like it at all lol. I must have had like 2 poutines a day the week I was there.
