La Plank, nestled at 268 Rue Richelieu in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, is quickly becoming a local favorite for burger enthusiasts. This charming hamburger joint has garnered praise for its diverse menu, notably their delectable veggie burger, which customer Patrick Balyan dubbed "very delicious." The culinary offerings extend beyond burgers, as evidenced by Ann K's excitement over the trio of poutines, which not only impressed with innovation but also provided great value. The service shines brightly here; patrons like Paul M highlighted the friendly and efficient staff, even accommodating those with limited French skills.

While the onion rings received accolades for their crunch, some items, such as the grilled cheese, left customers wanting more in terms of flavor and portion size. Nevertheless, the vibrant atmosphere at La Plank, particularly when celebrating occasions like birthdays, makes it ideal for cozy gatherings. With seating for about 30-40 guests, booking in advance is encouraged to avoid wait times. Reviewers also rave about the refreshing cocktails, with one describing the Piña Colada as a taste of Cuba. Truly, La Plank offers a delightful mix of great food, friendly service, and a welcoming environment for all to enjoy.

Nice burger joint in town. Very delicious veggie burger. The food was amazing. Part of my Ceasar crawl, this place offered something good. Love the rim rocks they chose. I would give it a 8.5 on 10 at least.

Excellent food. The trio of poutines was exciting, innovative and priced really well. The service was great. There were a lot of people there, and still not only did we get our food fast, the waitress was super kind and told us about our options in English. That kindness really puts La Plank in the rare category of super friendly and solid good experiences.

This is a decent spot for burgers! We ordered onion rings for a starter. They were crispy and well made. The burger came with a huge portion of fries. They were not crispy, but they had a good flavor. We also ordered the grilled cheese - I would skip that. The bread wasn't very flavorful, and the sandwich was small for the price. Overall, it was a good experience.

Our mission was to try poutine. This was certainly the place to do it, several varieties to choose from. Wait staff was very helpful with our nonexistent French. Fast and friendly service.

Amazing spot to chill and eat with friends. The local is really small (approximately 30-40 people would fit) so if you want to make sure to not wait for a long time, or to even have a table, I would suggest to book in advance. Celebrated my friends 19th birthday and it really fit the vibe. The desert for the birthday boy looked amazingggg (deep fried oreos). I will for sure come again. We took 2 kids meals (mac and cheese and a mini Burger with fries, they were really big portions for a kids size). We also took a mac and cheese, 2 burgers and a hot dog; all of the meals come with fries except for the mac and cheese. The drinks were AMAZINGGG (I took a pina colada and it was perfect! Tasted like Cuba) and the staff were really nice.

Deadly burgers. Everything is excellent from the mains to the sides. Masterfully blended flavours, great poutine. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff. This place is an absolute hit and a must visit. GREAT drinks too. Try the smoked old fashioned!
