Le Maubeugeois sur Maubeuge

Eat in, seated inside. A pretty nice place. Roadside diner style. The food is good for the price (a cut above the surrounding chip shops), but it's still just a snack, so it's mostly fries. There's a varied selection. Inside, it's hard to tell if it's a chip shop or a tavern (they offer specialty beers, cocktails, ice cream sundaes, etc.). You eat inside, but you pay at the takeaway counter. Regarding drinks: the iced tea is served directly into the glass (25cl), which is a bit pricey at €3... especially since it comes from a large bottle (€12 per liter). We don't mind the concept, but the price should reflect that. The wine is served in a tiny glass, like a liqueur glass (considering the price of boxed wine in France, and the price we pay, the glass could be a bit bigger). There's a glaring lack of music, and therefore, no atmosphere for eating in. The service was adequate. The bill was unclear because we paid at the takeaway counter, so we were standing in front of everyone waiting for their takeaway fries (thank goodness for the confidentiality of PIN codes), and above all, we were asked if we wanted the receipt (of the bank card obviously, even though we clearly saw the amount debited from our bank account), but we didn't have the receipt for the specific item consumed, so we couldn't verify it.

I arrived at 1:45 PM, and I was still served. The staff was dynamic and friendly. The meat was delicious, and the presentation of the dishes was impeccable. They clearly strive for quality in this establishment, and that's a pleasure to see. I recommend it.
