 🍟 The Spud Shack: New West’s Top Spot for Poutine

When Aaron asked the New West Community Facebook group for the best poutine in town, locals were quick to crown The Spud Shack Fry Co. as the go-to spot. Known for its Belgian-inspired frites and creative twists on traditional poutine, The Spud Shack is serving up what many consider the "gold standard" in comfort food.

Located on the eastbound platform of the New Westminster SkyTrain Station, The Spud Shack offers an irresistible menu that goes far beyond your average fries. From classic poutine to craft creations featuring unique toppings, there's something to satisfy every craving. For those looking to explore further, the menu also includes Fish ‘n’ Frites, hearty sandwiches, and the infamous Effin’ Good Burger. Pair your meal with a cold beer for the ultimate indulgence.

While Anny's Dairy Bar also earned an honorable mention for its poutine, it’s currently closed for the winter, leaving The Spud Shack as the reigning favorite for the season.

For anyone in New Westminster craving authentic, expertly made poutine, The Spud Shack Fry Co. is a must-visit.
