This place is so great(especially after a long night at the bar). I always get the vegetarian poutine and it’s super tasty and really filling. Love it!

Bit pricey, but it always tastes good. Not much of a review needed… fries + gravy + cheese = good

Kristen Reid abhors this establishment. I would gladly polish off a lean cuisine over diving into a meal at this place. Like, seriously, this place needs to up its game. I’ve been to several Smoke’s in Toronto and they always produce quality poutine. Went here tonight with a group, and everyone’s fries were undercooked, and the gravy was lukewarm and too runny. Never coming back unless I am blasted to the extreeeeme.

Completely lackluster. Every single time I’ve tried to eat here the food has been very underwhelming. The gravy is bland and the toppings don’t do much for the flavour either. For the high price point, anyone would expect much more than what is given. I live and work in the area and it would be the most convenient snack choice for me but you’ll much sooner find me across the street at Queen’s Subs, thanks. P. S. Unless you’re completely wasted, don’t eat here. Only a drunk person could think this crap tastes good.

Unfortunately I am not exactly an expert regarding poutine, so this was my first experience. I ordered the nacho version, which was great — french fries and cheese curds covered in gravy, chili, guacamole and jalapeño pepper slices. I was very happy to see that I had enough of each topping to enjoy them for the full batch of fries. All in all, an enjoyable first poutine experience.

Poutine was very good. Unfortunately it was really slow coming out. The other thing that bugged me was the sticky floor!

Went here around 7:30 on a Saturday night. There was only one girl working she was prompt but no enthusiasm. We ordered a traditional poutine & a roast beef deluxe. We were not impressed with either. Both lacked flavor and we had to add salt which a good gravy or poutine sauce should have had. The potatoes were too mushy and it was too difficult to mix everything in the box so everything was coated as they just pour everything on top. We both ended up with heartburn. Far too much hype for this place.

dont go at the bar rush. youll get half a poutine covering a container of fries. BUT, if you go during the day it’s usually pretty solid.

Stumbled upon smoke’s poutinerie after a concert in Hamilton and walked out of there happy and full. Place is a bit small but don’t let that fool you. Fries cheese curds and gravy at its finest! Will be back again

The poutine is amazing. It’s just a small place, but there’s some seating. The food though is fantastic! We had just regular poutine but there are some super neat concoctions to try. It’s cash only though!

I’ve been to this place a few times and I’ve walked out happy and full each time, and I’ve never ordered the large poutine, the regular sized has always been enough for me. First time I went, I had the double pork poutine, which consisted of pulled pork, peppercorn gravy and real bacon on tip like sparkles on a sundae. Brilliant combo, especially if you’re a fan of pulled pork. Second time I went, I had the Country Chicken, which consisted of cheese, gravy, chicken, mushrooms and onions. It was another great combination of flavour and the mushrooms were the best part of it. The third time I went, I had the Philly Cheesesteak Poutine. Every time I went there with my brother, he always ordered this one so I finally gave it a try. I can see why he loved it so much, as it had everything you’d expect in that classic Philly sandwich, all draped on top of fries for a messy but delish poutine. There are still at least a dozen poutines I haven’t even tried yet and they release new ideas all the time. For a quick and filling meal, it’s a great place to hit for lunch or after hitting Hess with the buds for a few brews. Give it a go and try some of the best poutine combos you’ll ever see.

Great fries, comes with skins. Poutines are nice and hot. Gravy sauce taste great with the cheese. The first time I went I got the hogtown Large. I berely finished and after I finish, I have trouble walking to the car. The toppings they put in are alot and just the right amount. The bacon are crispy and the slice onion are nicely cooked.(and taste great). Right now as I’m writting this review, I am having the prime beef. It taste just as great. nicely cooked ground beef. Overall, It’s the best poutine ever.

Open very late for those cravings in the evening, incredibly friendly staff, clean, quick, and let’s be honest, THEYSERVEPOUTINE! Plus, morning after breakfast poutine is available: they open up at 11am on Sundays too! As a vegetarian, and a regular orderer of the regular veggie and the alternative nacho veggie, I love this place. The rich mushroom gravy is second to no meat-gravy alternative: it goes incredibly well with the fresh fries and the delicious cheese curds. Great poutine and great location in Hess Village. You’re golden.

Why is it when the night falls and AM is fast approaching, the need to munch on grub comes so naturally?. Everyone nods in agreement and excitedly asks if anyone knows somewhere that is open late. I forgot where I had parked my car and surprisingly ended up at the end of Hess Village strip with a shiny red glow beckoning me to come hither ^_^ This place is cool. I had never been to any of the other bazzillion locations but who knew Hess Village had some decent options. The Village itself is pretty busy so I was pleasantly surprised how fast the service was here. There’s a massive chalkboard on the right side, Along the entrance wall so you can occupy yourself with some doodling whilst you wait for your poutine. I like this A-plenty! The inside is pretty tiny with about 4 to 5 stools. I’d assume to keep the masses of drunken fools out. Only 1 washroom, shared(shudder) . Excellent place to people watch, unless your more the«chat up randoms» kinda gal. I can go either way so I def got my fix. The price is pretty standard and the poutines not bad. It was pretty nice and fresh when me & my gf ordered it. I got the Philly cheese steak and she got the veggie. The portion is pretty hearty so I’d avoid getting separate ones when 1 is good enough to share. They had some interesting options so I wouldn’t mind trying something else out next time. There was one with sweet peas that sounded pretty random. Over all, not bad for a small quick-grub-grab joint(I think I just made a cool title). I would def hunt out for this place if I was down at Hess again and IF I can keep my directions in check. fun fact: Drunken nights feel so much more complete with a chalk in hand, doodling my heart out… Until some stupid drunk guy makes fun of your flower doodle and calls it a Vagina. Stupid drunk guy. xoxo M.
