Saus

Fantastic spot! The mushroom grilled cheese is great, and all of the different sauces for the fries are excellent, include the spicy jalapeño one. Awesome beer selection and great pricing, too. Would have been 5 stars EXCEPT for the following:
1. Our fries were mostly little fry bits, almost what would be left over at the bottom of the fry pile. If you have such a focus on Belgian style fries and the sauces, you have to give people fully formed fries rather than little burnt bits. Disappointing.
2. The staff committed that horrible faux pas of wildly spraying cleaning solution on the table next two us, making it fly into our food and faces, TWICE, at the tables to both sides of us. It is stunning that people aren’t properly trained not to do this. It is super simple. If you have to clean the table next to where people are eating, spray your dishtowel with the cleaning solution AWAY from people and their food. Disappointing.

After hearing from multiple sources that Saus is the best poutinerie in Boston, I knew I had to try it out. The food was solid, but I was a little disappointed (especially after trying poutineries in Toronto and Montréal). We got the regular poutine, which came topped with cheese curds and gravy. You can add on extras like a deep-​fried egg, bacon bits, or pork belly for $ 1.50 to $ 3 each, but we decided to go with the standard poutine so we could taste the flavor of the fries and gravy. The fries were crispy and well-​seasoned, but overall I felt that the ratio of fries to cheese/​gravy was too high, and the cheese wasn’t melted enough.
We also tried two of the sandwiches: the BBQ one (dry rubbed pork belly covered in BBQ sauce on a brioche roll) and the sloppy Jacques (beef braised in stout and bacon, sharp cheddar, and pickled red onions on a brioche roll; both $ 8). The sandwiches were decent and a good size, but I wasn’t blown away by the flavor. I also wish they toasted their bread, as I’m not a fan of cold bread on sandwiches. Both of the sandwiches come with a huge side of fries. One of my favorite things about Saus is the variety of different sauces you can get for 75 cents each (go figure). We tried the bacon parm, vampire slayer (roasted garlic and mayo), and truffle ketchup. My favorite was the truffle ketchup — it had a very strong truffle oil flavor that really elevated the ketchup.
Saus also serves a variety of sweets and desserts, which we didn’t try. They looked very good though!
Overall this place has a lot of good variety and some of the sauces are the bomb diggity. Its a cute little place tucked away near Faneuil Hall, and prices are reasonable for the area. The food is average to above average.

What a great place! Good food, beer/​cider selection, and amazing people. Staff was super engaged and friendly. Took time to chat during lunch rush and didn’t miss a beat. Good service is alive and well in Boston.
Check out the speciaal frik. You’ll of course be getting poutine, right? Oh, and the pickles are house made and delicious.

Was expecting more flavor from the Friks. The bread didn’t seem fresh (really hard and tough that day). I ended up just eating the sausage.
The fries here are pretty delicious. Loved the poutine with the bacon bits and deep fried egg. We tried a number of sauces including the green monster, truffle ketchup, curry ketchup, and the vampire slayer. However, not totally impressed with the sauces for a place named ‘Saus’. We were hoping the green monster would be spicy, but it was more sweet than spicy. The vampire slayer was good but a typical garlic sauce. I’ve had better truffle ketchup and the curry ketchup didn’t taste like curry at all.
There is also limited seating. We got lucky the day we came — probably because we came at an odd afternoon time, but I could see it being a long wait at peak hours. Service was fine and good.
Overall, a pricier meal for lots of potatoes and bread. If I were to come back, I’d just stick to the fries.

I wanted to love this place so hard. I tried, I really did but after 3 visits, I am standing by a solid two-​star review. I like the menu, it’s creative and comfortable and everything sounds delicious. The beer list looks great. But the actual beers available are minimal and I find the extensive menu and chalkboard postings to be confusing and misleading when the actual beers on tap and in bottles are far fewer than what’s advertised. The chicken and waffles tasted good but served in a little box, it was hard to eat and the presentation of strips and a sideways waffle was a bummer. BBQ sauce was fantastic though.
I thought the poutine was drowning in too much gravy and had minimal flavor.
The fries are good, as they should be at a place that takes its fries seriously, but c’mon now, charging for dipping sauce is just outrageous. My friends enjoyed their mushroom grilled cheese sandwiches and Brussels sprout salad. Great for them, I’m just not a person who’s going to make this a destination for a sprout salad. Sorry, Saus!

I’ve mostly gotten to-​go, but it’s all counter service anyway.
Everything is good– no duds here! I’ve had frites and poutine with all sorts of combination of sauces; you can’t go wrong. Beef on the poutine is especially great!
Anything with their fried chicken is excellent, and if you REALLY want to be healthy, you can get the veggie croquettes in a salad. Again, can’t go wrong.
It’s a bit expensive and the frickendel (is that how you spell it?) wasn’t the best, but I have nothing to compare the frick with. I guess I’m just not a personal fan. The beer list is always great and the cider from Sweden is especially good.
If you’re ordering take-​out, while the restaurant looks insane sometimes, the line moves pretty fast if the people in front of you know what they’re getting and the wait time for food is minimal, maybe 10 minutes for a full meal.

ALRIGHT.
LET US GO
To Saus.
This place serves fries that are fresher than a batch of baked biscuits a minute out the oven. You can get them with stuff on top, and turn it into poutine. If poutine is not within your moral constitution, please excuse yourself.
They also have a nice little selection of beers. Some are even right there on tap. I was so happy about that.
Then they have a list of sauces that makes Macys look like they have a limited selction. AND THEY ARE ALL. DELICIOUS. MMMH.
Saus also has a variety of different appetizer-​like items on the menu like pretzels, lil hotdogs, etc.
Its been a while since I’ve been there, so things may have changed. The only unfavorable thing about Saus is that if its crowded in there, it may be a little while before you can grab a table. BUT its a small little place and I’m a large man, so maybe others will find this fry establishment of medium size.
Otherwise, LOVELY STAFF, DELICIOUS FRIES, SASSY SAUCES. Try it out.

I found this place to be great! I honestly really enjoyed it here, and have very few complaints.
The restaurant is quite small, which isn’t very convenient considering it was quite busy. But the overall look of the restaurant is very nice, and kid friendly.
The workers were quite nice and the service was great. After we ordered 5 poutines, it took around 10 minutes for the food to come out.
The poutine was great! I got a regular poutine, and the gravy and cheese curds were just perfect. My only complaint about the poutine is that I found the fries to be a little to salty, but overall it tasted great.
This place is definitely great, and I would recommend it!

First heard about this place as a great poutine spot in Boston. Located near a bunch of bars and operating til 2am on weekends, it also makes for a great place to re-​charge after a wild night out.
For $ 6, you can get a pretty sizable serving of poutine, that comes with basic fries, cheese curds, and gravy. You can also buy some extra goodies to throw on there such as bacon or pork belly. It doesn’t quite compare to what you can get across the border, but it certainly gets close.
For sandwiches, they can be a hit or miss. The crispy chicken is a hit for me. Tasty and at a good price. The herb roasted chicken is a little more mediocre being on the drier side and comes cold. My friend likes it so different strokes for different folks. The Sloppy Jacques is average as well, though fairly popular and they may run out of it later into the night.
Overall, a decent stop for poutine and a great selection of beer, but there’s better food elsewhere. Saus is on the cozier side and seats somewhere close to 15 – 20 people.

Loved, loved it here. We stopped in after eloping at City Hall — you know, casual, as one does. We had the crispy chicken sandwich, frites, and two cans of Dales Pale Ale. The sandwich was delicious — the chicken was cooked perfectly, so hot and crispy, the baguette was nice and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, and the relish, pickles and mayo gave the whole thing a nice tangy kick, but it wasn’t soggy at all. Canned beer with a good sandwich for lunch is always a plus in my book, too. We were also given a congratulations waffle — and I’m usually not a huge waffle fan — but it was perfect and delicious. The staff were laid back and friendly, too. I wish I had an excuse to be downtown more often!

Muy muy rico, tanto los Friks como las patatas, espectaculares… y las salsas que las acompañan increíbles! Además tienen una gran selección de cervezas artesanales a tener muy en cuenta. Muy recomendable si estás en Boston =)

Oh my god yesssss!!! They have delicious food here and GREAT service!!! I got gravy and cheese curds on fries, and I got all these different kinds of sauce to dip in!!! So yummy! And I also got a wild mushroom cheese sandwich!!! Everything was amazing! Is this real life?! So many sauces! So much food! Boston!!! Saaaaaus!
We walked 30 minutes in the cold to get here… My friend and I. Desperate hunger helps.

Seems way overrated to me. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll, and the Sloppy Jacques of which I would recommend neither. The biggest issue was the bread — I would avoid anything that has the extremely dry and bland Iggy’s Brioche Roll. The interior was also way colder than it should have been and we were cold the whole time eating lunch. The fries were ok as were the dipping sauces but nothing special. The main star of our meal was the excellent pork belly! (assuming you like them nice and fatty like I do)
Everyone was very nice and the food came quick so I wish I could review it better but the food just wasn’t there.

This place fills up fast… My husband and I decided to check it out for a quick snack and actually arrived before they opened. We took a walk around the block waiting for noon to arrive and by the time we came back (at 11:58) there were already half a dozen people with menus inside. I can’t review much since we just had an order of fries with a bbq dipping sauce, but the fries were great (although not the best I’ve ever had) and my husband raved about the dipping sauce.
Looking at everyone else’s food around us… it definitely made us want to come back and try out a few more dishes. Their menu is very creative and has a good variety available.
We did overhear a few people talking and from the sounds of it, the place is ALWAYS packed. We actually heard that there is often a line out the door… so don’t be surprised if there’s a wait when you arrive.

Anyone can find something they’ll enjoy at Saus.
The Spicy Frik was great but I just wish there had been more «spicy» going on. Perhaps, I should have poured some Saus on it?
I did try the Green Monster and Colonel Mustard with the Wrench (Honey Mustard). The Monster sauce was sweet, a tad spicy, and amazing. I couldn’t get enough of it. Yet, the Colonel Mustard sauce fell short of a «honey» mustard (in my opinion, not worth it).
Now, let me tell you that when you leave Saus, you must leave with a waffle. I got a Liege Waffle with salted caramel on it. I’ve never had such an amazing waffle. Seriously, I make a lot of pancakes and waffles at home and this one nailed it. It was a crisped up Belgian waffle but it made for a solid foundation for the caramel sauce.
Next time, I’m looking forward to trying one of the sandwiches, a new sauce, and a couple of different waffle toppings.

What a great place to get… SAUCY. (I’m sure the joke has been made billions of times, i just had to, I’m sorry)
I was busy being a tourist and we stopped by because the bf had been before and was raving about the poutine.
Great variety of sauces for the plain frites– I was tempted but I was on a mission for the poutine. You can get additional toppings (gotta pay more though) like bacon bits, truffled mushrooms, and more. The frites were fresh, crispy and just pure heaven topped off with the gravy, cheese curds and chopped green onions.
I saw that they have a huge selection of beers and sandwiches as well! Would love to just park myself down on a Saturday night with a huge thing of fries, great beers and friends.

I like that they have a displayed menu on the wall and paper menus for those of us that like to ponder over all the descriptions. They even have directions on what to do on the wall and on the back of the menu. Step one review the menu step two order at the counter. Step three wait for your food and they will call your name. Step four clear your table.
The staff were very polite and friendly. They even dropped off our food right at the table. They even have a self serve ice water dispenser, along with a good beer selection, local sodas and all the classic sodas in cans.
The food was amazing. I love that they have so many dipping sauce options. I only wish I could have tried them all. Maybe they should make flights. The Parmesan bacon was creamy warm and great for fries. The sweet BBQ was yummy reminds me of McDonald’s. The olé chipotle was the perfect amount of spicy. They also make their own ketchup which is complimentary and endless. The fries were wonderful. They had a good crispy outside and soft potato inside. (FYI all sandwhiches come with a side of your choice).
The sloppy Jacque was something from the middle school cafeteria with ground beef and onion and a delightful sauce that can only be compared to a gravy. The Frik was what I assumed was a hotdog was closer to a hamburger in a hot dog shape. We got the speciaal and the spicy. Both were delicious and so flavorful. Everything was served on large fresh rolls.
There were so many more things I wanted to try. I will definitely have to come back and eat more.

4.5 Stars
Literally my favorite place to grab a late-​night bite after hitting up the bars. Their frites are so perfect and satisfy that fast food craving like nobody’s business! I love ordering them with the Vampire Slayer or the Olé Chipotle.
I’ve also ordered the Chicken and Waffles. That was a fun interpretation of it – it wasn’t extremely authentic by any means, but it was tasty. The chicken was extremely flavorful, but it was cooked a little too long. I was bummed at how dry the meat got; it wasn’t inedible, just extra crispy. The Speciaal Frik was pretty impressive too.
The beer selection here is nothing to sniff at either. I like going here if I’m looking for a chill atmosphere to hang out with my friends. It’s honestly more fun than anything I’ve experienced at Faneuil Hall down the street. Best of all, everything is less than $ 10 — food
that’s affordable AND awesomely tasty? SIGN ME THE «FRIK» UP! Ahahahaha, I’m hilarious. ;)
The staff is also really friendly. I haven’t had a rude experience yet (and I’ve gone more than I’d care to count).
Space, however, is limited. If you’re in a large group, your luck better be on because otherwise you’re going to have to eat in the street.
But, seriously, go check them out. You won’t regret it.

I still love Saus, but I think everything other than fries+sauce here is not the best. I find the waffles not crispy enough, though I love the rotating ice cream flavors from Christina’s.
The poutine is the best I’ve had in Boston, nice and cheesy with the fries still maintaining the crisp. Add pork belly or beef and it’s even better. But as for the other things on the menu, sandwiches, hot dogs… eh, I wouldn’t go out of my way for those. But piping hot fries at 1am with a beer or cider? YES PLEASE.

Mediocre food, nice atmosphere, and great people. I came here around 11p.m. on a Thursday night and there were only about 6 customers in the restaurant. I scanned the menu and decided what better to end the night but with a waffle. I ordered the waffle with a dark chocolate hazelnut syrup. My boyfriend on the other hand ordered the poutine fries.
Waffle ($ 4.50): I am a huge dessert fan so when I eat anything sweet, I already have some expectations of how it should taste. Unfortunately for the waffle, it didn’t meet my criteria. The waffle was a tad bit dry for my taste and there was no crunch on the outside nor softness to the interior. The hazelnut syrup wasn’t impressive as well. I’d sorry Saus, but this was a no-​go for me.
Poutine Fries ($ 8): I thought these were «OK» but that’s it. My boyfriend on the other hand loved these. These didn’t leave a memorable taste in my mouth and I didn’t find anything special about these.
Service: Great staff and very helpful when trying to figure out what to order. Food also came out pretty quick.
Price: $ 4-​$ 10

FRIES FRIES FRIES FRIES. That’s all you need to know and all you need to order. They were piping hot and crisp and excellent. We shared two big orders of fries with plenty of extra sauces– our favorites were this herby green one, the bacon one and the garlic mayo (they have funky names I can’t remember).
Everything else was very whatever: My friend’s «green eggs and ham» had burnt, bitter brussels sprouts and overcooked pork belly. An and apple cabbage «coleslaw» tasted like nothing. Veggie croquettes fell apart and didn’t taste much like veggies– mostly just potato. The friks were decent: They are kind of weird sausage-​like combinations of beef and pork served in a long hot-​dog bun.
Just eat fries and get a million sauces.

Les frites sont en belle fome. Style Belgique, mais on serve aussi en style québécois le potine. Délicieux et il y a un bon sélection des bières belgiques.
