Smoke’s Poutinerie

Absolutely amazing place. Best poutine you can get. Highly recommended. Thank you. :3

Whenever American friends come to visit, they ALWAYS want to try «Canadian» Poutine… along with Tim Hortons, maple syrup, and checking out the igloos. Seriously though, this request has become so frequent that I realized I needed to find a go-​to poutine place — Smoke’s looks like the place!
Like most of the other locations in this chain, this place was very conveniently located near the TTC. I like the fact that this place was founded in Toronto, still maintains its Canadian roots, and was apparently the FIRST poutine-​centric establishment in the city.
There were plenty of «gourmet» options to choose from, though being the huge meat-​lover that I am, I went with the «Bacon Cheeseburger» version. The poutine’s here do not disappoint… the fries were fresh, the toppings plentiful, and it all came out hot/​warm. I went with the «meal-​size,» but «snack-​size» and «large-​size» options were also available.
Good portions? Check. Fast service? Check. Convenient location? Check. Meets Canadian Stereotypes? Check Check. I’ll definitely be back.

We stopped by here for a snack before going to our next appointment. I had the snack size with gravy. The gravy tasted overly salty, like store bought gravy. It wasn’t yummy. My MIL makes better gravy. The fries were fine but I couldn’t get over the gravy. Hubby had the poutine with chicken in snack size as well & enjoyed it. The décor here is all white, red and black. It’s clean and bright but I find the colours a bit glaring for my taste. Maybe next time I’ll try the mushroom gravy. That might taste better.

Smoke’s has always been a good place to grab a nice poutine, although I’ve noticed the prices going up a bit lately but the quality of the food hasn’t risen with it.
Don’t get me wrong, the food is still good, I just think maybe if you’re going to hike up prices, do something worth hiking them up for.
I guess the queues outside the door speaks for itself though, right?

Don’t know what happened to smokes gravy but it’s lost its flavour and thickness. I got the hog town and the ingredients were pretty good but any good poutine needs good gravy, it’s fundamental. Also the prices have seriously gone through the roof. For potatoes and shitty gravy its not worth $ 10.15. Sorry guys but you let me down…

The poutines I really well-​made. I ordered the nacho poutine a few times, and it’s always tasted really good. The service is friendly, but the prices are extremely overpriced; I mean, it’s a few potatoes with gravy and cheese, they don’t need to charge an arm and a leg. With the prices they charge they make it seem like they’re a five-​star restaurant but really it’s just another fast food place that has really good poutine that is overpriced.
This is one of those places where you come to grab a quick bite to eat, but it’s not a place where you would bring the family out or someone out on a date.

It’s Smokes. If you’ve been to one, you’ve been to them all. If you haven’t, this is a great place for a solid poutine. Went on Saturday around 11pm and there was no lineup like you’d probably see at the downtown locations around that time. We got the Country Style and the Rainbow Veggie. Both delicious, but I am partial to their veg gravy– it has a faint marmite taste and I love it. If you always get their regular gravy, I implore you to try the veg at least once.

I like that they have a variety of poutine. They also have coke in actual glass bottles which is great. I do wish the fries tasted like NY fries though. Great place to grab a snack after a movie across the street
