Lasalle Drive-In Restaurant — Restaurant in Montreal

Nice little diner that's just on the bike path by the riverside, offering a nice view of the Rapids. They offer standard American-style fare with burgers, subs, sandwiches, pizzas and poutine. Nothing really outstanding in terms of signature-style items except for their pizza dough subs other places seem to have copied.

Do they cater? Yes and no. They can do bulk orders and they deliver, but as for an actual catering service, I don't think so. You'd have to talk to the owner.

Do they accept credit or debit? Yes and no. The counter only takes cash, but they have a mini ATM in the back. Too bad for those of you looking to avoid service fees or rack up rewards points.

As an aside for comic book and figurine collectors, Johnny the restaurant owner was the co-proprietor of the now-defunct Expert Comics in the Carrefour Angrignon shopping mall at the other end of LaSalle. He also had an annex store on the top floor of the restaurant that used to be open to the public but is now closed, too.

It was a mini warehouse up there, with long boxes full of comic books and shelves with figurines and statues, and couldn't be accessed from outside, you had to enter the restaurant and go through the back door past the restrooms and the ATM machine, then turn left and go up the stairs. Not sure what he did with...

A few years back this restaurant got a lot of bad press for extremely unsanitary conditions. They were fined thousands of dollars on multiple occasions. A simple Google search and scroll will turn up this information. Since I grew up with this restaurant and all the great food that they used to serve, I decided to give them another chance. I paid Over $50 plus tip for my son’s Pizza guetti and a large special Lasalle Sub. The pizza guetti had to be cut because It could not be picked Up as the spaghetti was actually on top of the pizza between the bread and the cheese. It was swimming in sauce as well . They only have paper plates which made it impossible to cut the food without cutting through the plates. The sub was way smaller than it used to be and the bread was extremely stale. To add insult to injury, you have to order, Pick up the food at the counter, and clear the table off yourself. When I told the cashier that I was disappointed in my experience, even though I didn’t blame her Personally, She did not offer me a single word… just a blank and confused stare. I’m not giving these guys any more chances...

It's been quite a while since the last time that I had LaSalle Drive In. A quaint fast restaurant by the river... Quaint, that's how I would have described a cash only restaurant... 10 years ago. It was so long I forgot that they were cash only. So I drove 20 minutes, we all piled out working out what we wanted and then saw the sign, cash only. They helpfully let me know there is an ATM, $3 to the cash machine company and $3 to my bank $6 before I get any cash. I consider restaurants and businesses still doing this as very insulting. So we left. And won't likely go back. We would have plunked down $30 to $40 for four of us for dinner. Hey LaSalle Drive In, pay attention, it's 2019, find other ways to be quaint, cash only, suck it up, or figure out what the monthly cost of having Interac across average sales and the $0.05 to $0.10 per transaction across all prices. Very...
