At the northern end of Sharbot Lake along the TransCanada highway is where you can find Frenchie’s Chip Truck, owned by Chris Charlebois and Kenneth McQuaid since the spring of 2021. The longtime friends from the Kingston area, Chris’ family has always had cottage on Crow Lake Road, say that Sharbot lake feels like a second home. With a commitment to providing customers with quality products every day there is no doubt as to why it has quickly become a local favourite. The most popular items on the menu are chicken tenders, fish and chips and burgers made with local meat from Milligan Meats in Cloyne. The special jalapeno popper burger is not to be missed! They also offer an extensive selection of condiments that includes everything from traditional toppings like ketchup and mustard to green olives, banana peppers and sauerkraut. Poutine is another best seller, and crowd pleaser, as the gravy in not only homemade but vegetable based making it vegetarian friendly. This summer they have launched Live Music on Sunday afternoons on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month between 12-6 (check FB for up to date details) with local musicians playing a selection of old and new country, blue grass and roots rock. Everyone is invited to enjoy a safe outdoor space and customers are encouraged to bring a chair, sun shades and dance moves while Frenchie’s keeps everyone cool with freezies. Frenchie’s is open year-round offering their entire menu with the addition of chili and soup with a bun to warm you up in the colder months.
