Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: Hmm... out of 10 or so reviews, more than half of them are from non-Canadians. That paints a pretty good picture of what Les Trois Brasseurs is like, which is like a Canadian version of TGIFridays (minus the flair). I went to the Vieux Montreal location, which had a really nice patio on the sidewalk. The service wasn't snooty or pushy, although my server did ask me if I wanted an English menu before I sat down (is it that obvious? Maybe my American flag fanny pack is a little too big). The poutine, which is the main reason I came here, was alright, but not stellar. Maybe it was because I'd never had poutine before and have nothing to compare it to, but it just seems like mediocre fries soaked in gravy, covered in cheese curds. I mean, tasty as hell, but... ten minutes later, do I really want soggy fries smothered in a liquid heart attack? The Caesar salad was redeeming because it came with, as all things Canadian, a hearty portion of bacon. As for the beer, which is brewed on premises, I cannot comment on it, as I foolishly ordered a beer cocktail (peach schnapps mixed with 'La Blanche' - very light wheat and barley malt beer... never again). Sitting outside probably makes it seem less corporate, for what it's worth.

Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: I've been here a couple times for college football game day. I go because this is where the Michigan State alumni are gathering this year. Wings were great and I know management has worked really well with the alumni association. That said, service was amongst the worst I've ever experienced, both times. Absolutely not enough servers to handle the crowd. I had the same server both times. She consistently forgot (or ignored?) orders for water or coffee for everyone I spoke with. She only checked on one of her established regulars in the 4 hours I was there last week. Everyone else in my vicinity had to flag her down for attention and then, maybe, got what they needed eventually. This is a place for drinking. If you're not boozing hard enough that you don't care about the service, it may not be for you. I don't drink so not a place I care to visit again soon.

Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer:
I'd like to preface this by saying I'm not a fan of any sort of "food truck" food. Bad experiences with Mexican food trucks in the past have left me jaded. That being said, upon seeing the well-taken-care-of truck & a delicious sounding menu, I decided to indulge. This was one of the best choices I've made in my entire life (I've been married, graduated college, bought a home etc) and this ranks right up there. I plan on following these fantastic people to wherever they drive their truck at least once a week.
