"This chip wagon is fantastic. The portions are extremely generous and the price is comparable. The tartar sauce with the fish and chips is out of this world, and the poutine is incredible. Everything is worth trying as I have not been disappointed yet."
"Stopped in for lunch today very nice little roadside eatery food was awesome staff polite and friendly food served hot places to sit out sixe or i. Your car get out support local business great job"
"Recently returned to Ontario after 21 years in BC. I was told I needed to check this place out, so I drove down today. Definitely some of the best fries I've ever had! Reasonably priced, generous portions and great staff. I'll definitely be a repeat customer"
"I think they have the worlds best brisket sandwich. It’s soooo delicious and not super messy (which I appreciate). We literally went back the next day to get the brisket again, it was so so good. We also tried the poutine and onion rings, they were also good."
"If I could give 10 stars, I would. The fries are golden brown. The brisket is smoked by the owners and is "to die for". Servings are very generous and pricing is more than fair. Do yourself a favour and try them out."
"Nice little spot off the beaten path. Good poutine, good gravy, fresh fresh fries. i'll have to try the burger next time. My kids love the poutine, the place looks clean. You have to yell at the guy to place your order because he can't hear you over the fan inside. Overall a nice little chip truck check it out if you're in the area you won't be disappointed"
"Best chip truck around, proportions are huge and well worth the money. Perfect stop before heading to Or from the lake. Previous owner liked to try new things and it was always fantastic, new owners have continued with what has worked and done a great job at it."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Experience at Charleston Cookhouse Chip Truck! We had the pleasure of stopping by the Charleston Cookhouse Chip Truck on a perfect day for outdoor dining. The weather was ideal, and their covered seating area made it even more enjoyable to sit, relax, and indulge in some truly unforgettable food. We ordered the beef brisket poutine, beef brisket on a bun, and a regular poutine—all paired with refreshing pops. Every bite was phenomenal. The gravy was absolutely perfect, and the brisket, which they prepare over four days and smoke to Texas-style perfection, was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The depth of flavour in the brisket is something every BBQ lover should experience at least once. Portion sizes were generous and very satisfying, especially for a big eater like myself and the rest of the family. I was already blown away by what we tried—but I truly wish I had also ordered the Italian sauce poutine, which sounded amazing! They also offer a top-notch pulled pork, which we’re definitely trying next time. This place is a must-visit for fans of smoked meats, poutine, or just great food in general. We’ll definitely be coming back at least once or twice every season whenever we're near Athens, Ontario. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!"
