Very strange. Perhaps it was an off night, but the burgers were barely edible. I guess this place is worth visiting for the kitsch value, or if you are a fan of the strange orange beverage (I'm not).

I have no idea how people can rate this place as four star! the Orange juice they offer is made from cheap powder...the Poutine is terrible and you always have to wait a long time in a crowded and noisy place beside the highway!

BEST juleps of all time!! Seriously these are just wayyy too good. I'm giving 5 points based on the drink alone, I don't order the food. The juleppp just get the julep! do it.

Five stars for the mega orange alone. I'm a sucker for novelty restaurants, especially when they come in weird shapes and sizes. I spotted the enormous orange when I flew into MTL and I made it my mission to see it up close.

We came at lunch time on a Saturday. No line. We got hot dogs and orange juleps. Both very tasty. After the meal we asked a waitress to take our picture. She took a bunch,... more

A Montreal staple and my favorite poutine in the city. Sorry banquise.

How is it that I don't have a review for this place? Insane.

The Orange Julep is a Montreal institution... a sight and wonder while driving up or down "Highway" 15. Who can miss this huge orange and not be interested to try it out at least once in their life? This place is well known for its fast food and sweet orange juice.

Is it pricey? Absolutely!

Is it still worth it? OH YEAH!!!!

Why do... more

Terrible food. Long waits. Overpriced. Don't believe the other reviews! Avoid this dump and you'll save money and eat better.

Fries were soggy and cold, totally falling apart when I tried to eat them with my hands and then turned into mush when I gave in and used a fork. The burger was completely lackluster - it was literally the worst burger I've had. Every fast-food place I can think of... more

Came here with my wifey, we're newish to Montreal. My Mom lived here in the 70s and told me to go to this place, that she used to go there.

It was cool. Awesome sunny day, ordered a couple of burgers, fries and orange juleps, and sat on the benches. Felt like we were in a 50s diner or something. Classics playing over the speakers. I loved it. Food was junkyish, but was a cool experience. I... more

I used to pass in front of Orange Julep wondering what was hidden beneath the notorious orange structure. I finally tried this Montreal landmark a couple of weeks ago. I ordered a hamburger-poutine trio served with their classic orange drink. I was expecting to become fond of their famous orange julep; however it was too sweet for my taste bites. Also, the hamburger was ordinary. Nothing... more

Today really seems to be a three star day. I just wanted a small caramel sundae. Asked for a "coupe glacee" and got a "cornet". Repeat myself 3 times until she understands what I want, ask for vanilla, and then she asks me if I want chocolate or vanilla topping. They don't even have vanilla topping, she just didn't know what caramel was or that thy even had that. C'mon guys. Even if she's new.... more

Order the Poutine (awesome) & their signature Orange drink (good), ignore the rest of their menu, sit back & enjoy.
A bit pricy, but one of the Best Poutine experiences you can have in MTL, the other being Foie Gras Poutine @ APC.

Another Montreal institution and a concept lost in time. Whether you roll up or walk-in, it still gives off that feeling of a 50's drive-in. Classic rock blasting from every corner, park-in diners strewn across the lot, and a floating fluorescent sign flashing proudly in the corner.

Make your way up to the counter and the first thing you notice is tubes leading up to god knows where. This is... more

It's a big orange building that serves one of the best drinks I've ever had.

Decor/Ambiance- 2/5
Yay it's a humongous orange shaped spot! Wait a minute..I have to eat in the car? And the bathroom is practically on the other side of the circumference? Dammit!

Service- 2/5
I always ask questions politely, as I believe that is how I should be treated. And yes- I know this is really a fast food... more

Oh Giant Orange Julep, it's been 10 years of driving on by you, never stopping, always wondering and tonight it finally stopped. But you didn't wow me. 10 years of wondering must have set my expectations soaring, but 10 years probably saw to a giant price increase?

Let's face it, it wasn't cheap eating there, in fact not cheap at all, I got a Veggie Burger with Julep and a poutine, then I saw... more

This is a staple in Montreal, my brother in law loves their OJ, burgers and poutine. So naturally, he had to drive 20min in the dreadful winter cold to introduce my Cali husband to the Orange Julep. The OJ was well worth it and their poutine is always mmm mmm good.

you start off getting the orange drank as part of your meal... one sip and you've crossed over to the dark side! you'll be paying for the $12 quart before you can even finish uttering the words "crack juice"

poutine and hot dogs were good too (you will hate yourself after you finish it though)

cheddar stuffed pretzel is just too much, i felt my heart stop a couple of times.

no indoor... more

Since I moved to Montreal, I had been meaning to try Orange Julep and see what people were talking about. I finally did and I can see why people love it soo much! First off the poutine was delicious. Secondly the orange julep was the best thing I've ever drank. Although it seems to be a little pricey, it's addictive and tasty in so many ways. I can't quite describe it completely, but the... more

When we were in Montreal eating at the restaurant shaped like a big orange was on our to do list.

I expected more. Well, actually I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this.

However, we did enjoy the food. The poutine was good, but the fries could have been cooked longer. I found that for $22 my daughter and I got more food than we could even dream of eating. She got the chicken wing... more

While visiting Montreal, I tried at least 4 different poutine places and this was my favourite. This place is all about the comfort food and outdoor seating. It reminded me of being at the carnival. It was fun to take pictures in front of the big orange too.

Oh gosh, nasty nasty nasty. This was another one of the bf's great idea. "Oh, you planned the whole trip. I only have two requests - poutine and orange julep." How could I turn him down?

Traffic was horrendous and we were happy to finally arrive under the giant orange ball. It looked like it belongs in LA. It didn't look particularly clean but that didn't deter the bf.

The verdict? The orange... more

Sooo disappointed! This place used to have great tasty burgers which used to be delivered to your car by servers on roller skates but those days are over.
Went back today after 10 years and cheeseburger was cold even though I picked it up from the stand. Bread was tasteless, so was the meat. I will go so far as saying - no good. The Julep however was the same.
Eating in an old, unkept parking... more

Sad to not give this place 5 stars after hearing so much hype from friends, and as everyone's already mentioned the pro's, here are my cons:
-SUPER expensive for junk food and the amount of food given
-fries are gross and oily/limp and only tasted good smothered in poutine
-no indoor seating so if it's windy or cold the eating experience kind of downgrades
-bathrooms are groooossssss
... more

A legendary place! The Orange Julep is a must-have if you're in Montreal!

The hot dogs are straight up disgusting. They over price everything ($17.00 for 2 Michigans and a poutine not including tip) the service is mediocre at best. The food left me feeling disgusted and ripped off. **WARNING THIS PLACE IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE AND THATS NOT JUST MY OPINION...GO THERE AND YOU'LL SEE IT'S A FACT**

I don't think there is a single Montrealer who hasn't been here and if they haven't than they really aren't a true Montrealer anyway so it really doesn't matter.
Orange Julep is a must try and a must return often type of place, although its open all year around these days it will always symbolize summer comfort food for me.
I can't call it a good summer if I haven't enjoyed one of their amazing... more

I guess Orange Julius hasn't crossed into Canada yet eh? For the American yelpers think of the julep was an orange Julius made without ice. For my Hawaii people think of a melted orange bang. Those are the closest things that come to mind that can draw some kind of comparison. While I prefer to have an Orange bang over a Julep I am sure that my opinion would be different if I was a native... more

A favorite of mine since childhood, orange juice but not just orange juice, it's like orange cream Popsicle in juice form, there perfect description.

I'm totally biased about this place...

When I think of orange julep, I remember the long summer days back when, we would come and hang out in the lot have some orange juice just after dark, it was still warm out with just a little breeze. There... more

Best orange julep ever! It is kind of out of the way but if you have a car, definitely check it out. Awesome juice and amazing fatty fries with duck confit on top. What else can you ask for?!

I wish I could have a direct line of orange julep to my house. You know, at the sink, three taps instead of two: hot/cold/julep. It's like a delicious orange milkshake.

The poutine is pretty good too. And the hot dogs.

But what's in the big orange? Is it filled with julep to the point of bursting? Stacks of fresh oranges piled up in 3-storey pyramids? Holy relics belonging to the Vatican? The... more

Orange Julep, what in the heck is that you might ask? Well, picture a melted orange creamsicle in beverage form. It's some sort of concoction consisting of OJ, milk, egg whites and sugar and the result is one of the best things you will ever drink.

It's got a frothy head, a smooth consistency, it's incredibly tasty, and probably packed with 1000 calories, but who cares! If ever in Montreal you... more

There is absolutely nothing like Orange Julep anywhere! If you've flown in to Montreal, you might have noticed that huge Orange along the highway...and that's where you'll want to end up. This is a drink that is fruity, frothy, and delicious! It may look like plain ol' O.J. but you'd be wrong, it is a mix of fresh squeezed orange juice and some secret ingredient (my guess is powdered egg... more

Love their orange juice! and their fries and poutine, in my opinion, are one of the best in town! Their fries are not crunchy (keep that in mind) but incredibly sweet and flavourful! Thick poutine gravy, plus the amazing fries and cheese = heaven! Nothing fancy, but very very TASTY!!!

There are veggie pogos!

Man this place is a landmark kind of hard to miss a big orange round building in Montreal. Gotta have the orange julep all I would buy i never tried to the food since that drink would be all I get everytime I go up and forgot about the rest. It's an addicting little drink....... I tried to replicate it and failed miserably I guess its one of those that cant be duplicated. But anyone visiting... more

I came in on a random Sunday afternoon just before Christmas. There was nobody else in sight, which was not a bad thing as there is only one picnic table available inside during winter.

They cooked my fries to order, topped with fresh curds (not always that easy to find), smothered with a thick rich brown gravy. Price tag a bit much at $9 for a small appetizer type poutine, but it was... more

This place is amazingly ridiculous.

It's a big, fat, giant orange. That's what it is and that's where you drive up and place your order. Your food is produced in a trippy, big, fat, giant orange.

It's ah-mazing.

The initial hilarity wore off pretty fast, but then I realized that my food would come out of a big-fat, juicy orange and it was clear that -even if the food subpar (I mean, its not... more

Iconic. My wife swears by their grilled cheese. Food is good. The Julep is definitely the star. I would have given a 5th one if the Julep was more reasonably priced, especially given that I often don't make it as far as my car with any of it left. I'm definitely a fan.

God's blessing to Montrealers!
The oldest Drive-In in Quebec & they still have Car Shows!
I have been coming since I can remember as a child.
Soooo Good, Sooo Unique and Soooo worthwile any which way you gotta travel to get there.
Point Finale!!!!!

Orange Julep Gibeau is possible the best place ever for refreshing orange juice in Montreal! This legendary institution, and the source of many childhood memories, has been serving the freshly-squeezed concoction since the early 1930s. Whether you're local or simply visiting Montreal, it's worth the stop-over.

You have to come here for their Orange Julep! It is the best I have ever had and of course their confit fries!!!! Although I was just a tourist, I was taken by local friend to this spot and even he really loves coming here.

Great place, the orange juice is tasty!!!

A Montreal classic that is worth a visit at least once. Orange Julep is definitely the star, but hotdog with poutine wasn't bad.

The Julep is delicious and the giant orange is a Montreal icon, but apart from that, it is really just over-priced hot dogs and fries. A nice stop for a tourist, I guess. I would stop by to pick up a jug of orange juice but I pass on the rest.

Unique orange juice experience, a mandatory stop when in Montreal. Rest of menu is typical fried fare, very flavorful, but dont let you doctor catch you there twice in a week. A strict drive-in, a few picnic benches on the side for summer time, open all night.

You can't miss this Montreal institution. This Huge orange ball on Decarie serves Hot-Dogs and this interesting creamy orange juice. I work steps away from this place and its great in the summer.

The Orange Julep Gibeau is a Montreal institution, you drive past it on the decarie when you head into Montreal downtown. We made it a point to stop in before heading to our Montreal downtown hotel. Their infamous Orange Julep drink is what brings you to the orange ball, then you can enjoy their poutine and hot dogs.

Orange Julep is like an Orange Julius drink but WAY better. Frothy, creamy... more

It's hard to miss the bulbous orange ball beside walmart on decarie, which is none other than the Orange Julep.

This restaurant is known for their orange juleps, which are really like a melted dreamsicle in a styrofoam container. However they are also a notable greasy spoon as well, additionally serving all dressed hamburgers, hotdogs, poutine, etc. The prices aren't too bad either, you can... more

FYI: I apologize for my mini hiatus from Yelp. A fellow Yelper recently asked to follow up on where was the best poutine in Canada indeed was and I shall proudly bestow an answer!

But first I shall warn you that none of my pretty words will truly do justice to how delicious this particular poutine really is! As an aspiring journalist/Yelp Elite Member, I will try my hardest! So it is located... more

Lots of locals here and recommending this place highly., food is not so great, and the famous orange dreamsicle drink is the same thing as orange julias back in the states. Over all, big whoop de doo.

Whenever I'm on a flight from Europe and about to land, I always know I'm in Montreal by two landmarks which are easily identifiable from the air: The Olympic Stadium and the iconic Orange Julep.

This place has taken tackiness and elevated it to an art form. The rollerblading waitresses from the 1950's are long gone, but the greasy burgers, fries, hotdogs, pogo sticks (or corn dogs for you... more
