24A Dunlop St W, Barrie, ON L4N 1A2, Canada
Had a rough day today and just wanted some French fries. I don’t get Smokes poutine often, but it was delicious (I highly recommend the rainbow poutine) when I opened the package I saw a note from the owner. As something as little as it may come to others, it had made a much needed positive impact on my day. Thank you for that act of kindness and thank you for the great food!
Ordered a Pulled Pork Poutine on Skip The Dishes. Pork was dry and under seasoned not enough gravey and it wasn't hot enough to melt the cheese curds also the fries tasted old. If I'm expected to wait 40min on a Monday afternoon I would expect the fries to at least be fresh.
Butter chicken poutine was great taste, fries were undercooked, I ordered extra butter chicken sauce and cheese, reason being last time I ordered it was so dry and plain. Overall the last 3 times I went I know I overplayed for food that I want to love but I feel so ripped off Through door dash I got a butter chicken poutine and the bottom of the box was no bigger than a cellphone for 40 bucks. And was still hungry. What are we doing here. I feel management needs to start listening g before there time runs out. It’s potatoes and cheese. Do better
Two of us popped in at 11pm for 2 regular fries. Was asked to sit for a few minutes while they cooked. However when we recieved the fries minutes later, they were both stone cold and visibly wrinkly and old. One had two hot fries placed ontop (must of been the fresh ones we were waiting on)
This placed is horrible I ordered a pulled pork poutine and there was no pulled pork plus in general it was really bad and trash food. Also it was $18 for an astonishing small amount of food
My boyfriend and I both ordered a meal size double pork.... every time we go we get less and less.... we both had maybe a tea spoon of pork next to no cheese dont know what was up with the bacon... it was soooo chewy like barely cooked chewy.... we have been coming here for years and the quality of food has been dropping. I keep telling myself I'll give it another shot, maybe the quality will go back to the way it was but sadly it has just been getting worse and worse, I think I'm done and can't give it another shot... sad to see a good place go to the can.
I took my family that came for a visit to this place and i talked so highly about this place to them because i wanted them to try the “authentic poutine”. The guy who served us was on the phone the whole time which is totally fine but this food is disgusting we couldnt eat it at all and i was so embarrassed and disappointed because that was their first experience! The fries are burnt out and too soggy and we literally wasted our money which is fine. But to give this to people to eat is totally unacceptable. I even called back to tell him that and he didnt pick up. So disappointed i wont ever recommend it
I’ve been coming here for years and service and quality had been declining. Since about 6 months ago (July 2023) it has really come back by way of service and quality. Price wise it is on par with most places and portion sizes are fine. Keep up the effort. Still miss the peppercorn gravy though!
Big chain name but its as least canadian as it gets, pulled pork poutine for example has a thin layer of pork and curds on top and a touch of gravy and the rest is just soggy fries, step up your game like the fry truck in thornton, thats the best place around and there is absolutely no competition with places like this falsly claiming to be the best.
Its not as good as it used to be the cooks who are cooking the food dont seem to know how to do it and every time I eat here I get food poisoning now
Friendly and efficient very delicious highly recommend
Bring back plastic forks full time. And self serve condiments
Food truck review only. Very disappointing at Kempenfest today. Very little cheese curds, just fries and gravy. For the price, Ill stick with Osmows or even Costco.
Place is very clean and people are quite friendly and poutine is poutine so Im happy
Ordered their deluxe loaded baked potato and they literally sold me an uncooked potato! Emailed them the next morning and zero response!
I recently visited Smokes Poutinerie at Barrie with a few friends, expecting a great experience given its reputation for poutine. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The fries were nearly black, suggesting the oil hadnt been changed, which made me feel nauseous and gassy later. For such a renowned establishment, I expected better quality control, especially regarding oil regulation.
I would never recommend eating smokes from a food truck during a festival. They bairly give any toppings on a specialty poutine that costs 20$ and the fries are burnt because they arent paying attention.
Fries taste like the mascots face looks
I think its way overpriced even for the traditional poutine
Potatoes are not washed before being cut and fried - black bits all through it. I was chewing gritty potatoes from dirt on them. Some bad spots on the potatoes must have contributed to the foul taste I would get every once in a while. 5 stars for service but I was the only one in the restaurant. Loud thrashing rock and roll on the speakers - very unsettling. I left after having eaten only a few bites. Over $17 for this trash. Apparently, the food used to be great several years ago but the business underwent a change of ownership. Nowadays the new owners dont wish to continue offering the quality that was once there and clearly dont care about their customers anymore. Sadly I wont be back. Not the kind of business I support. A total turnoff.
Best poutine in town definitely recommend it
Delicious andnhugenportions
Usually amazing but like. They actually closed before business hours. The door was locked. Such a let down.
Great taste, Most importantly the guy who was serving was very courteous . His name was Charvin.
Was a lovely time and the food was delicious and music was great! Dietary restrictions: No nuts on the menu Food : 5/5 |
My boyfriend and I decided to try this place because I was craving poutine. I used to hear very good things about this place but recently I ve noticed business hasn t been too good but Ofcourse I looked past it because I was hungry. Second we walk in I noticed a terrible smell near the bathrooms which were locked for some reason and the place looks very run down. Garbage left around, sticky tables, the chairs were rickety. On top of that when we were ready to order we realized it was only one worker. He was very friendly but seemed a bit distracted. I ordered the original poutine and my bf ordered something with pulled pork and bacon both regular sized with no sides or drinks the total came up to 32$! Extremely over priced for two small poutines. Took about 20 minutes for our food to be ready even tho there was only one person ahead of us. When we received our food we went home to eat and he said his tasted fine other than the bacon seemed undercooked I immediately thought something was wrong with mine. The fries seemed old and tbh tasted very dry, they were both very salty, the cheese tasted like it had gone bad but we both ate them because we didn t want to waste money. I guess that was a bad idea because not even an hour later my bf started saying he felt sick, later that night when he got home he said he was super nauseous and around the same time so was I I ended up throwing up most the night but luckily he was able to head to bed without being sick But overall I will not be returning to this restaurant. Especially not now after I was informed by my sister in law that she found a dead spider in her food
Do not order from them from skip...youll never get it or your money back. Terrible service, Terrible experience. The drivers did not follow instructions. My driver left my order on the pavement outside my 84 condo unit building downtown, did not buzz me and that was it. Dont bother.
We had to wait over half an hour for our food. All of that waiting only to spend 13 dollars on burnt fries with a little gravy and 4 pieces of cheese. All of the other people who ordered the same thing also got only 4 pieces. I m really angry about the cheese. The cheese is supposed to be the best part. Why only 4 piece :(. I am very sad and disappointed. I was so excited
The food here is amazing, absolutely delicious. And the service is even better!! It s evident the people working here love what they do based on their positive attitudes and immense kindness. Just stopped in for a quick lunch and will be back!!
We met the owner tonight and he is so personable and extremely nice! Would go here just to support him no matter how the food tastes (which was good!)
I always get pulled pork poutine and to my surprise when I got my order from this location, there was barely meat on it. The gravy was too much and cheese was also lacking. Poutine fail, sorry.
Awesome poutine
Parul is an amazing server she s hilarious and has amazing customer service skills. (Should get a raise)
It was really cool, I just tried the restaurant first time and spun the wheel and got a small pouting after I just ordered a large Im happy with my service and the employees were kind overall good time for me :)
Great place to go to
gave me food poisoning!!
Poutine Lover Must visit !!!! Such a great experience with the rocking environment and mouthwatering poutine. Also, the staff is very hospitable. Highly recommended for different types of Poutine.
Ordered one poutine mid week day.. took over an hour to made ready to be picked up so its garbage. Waste of $30. Food
Its not awesome . I have ordered onion rings and poutine, the onion rings are over cooked and poutine too. We have called, messaged them for refund but no reply. We wasted our money.
I ve been to this place twice and the food tasted pretty much good but today I ordered poutine and onion rings online and both were terrible. Poutine was overcooked and onion rings were literally burnt. It was so bitter in taste. Just because we did not go there physically, it doesn t mean you should give us whatever you want. We spent our money which got wasted.
I ordered the onion rings and a poutine but i received the food in very bad quality , the onion rings are to much over-cooked and the taste of poutine is very yuck . Please give training to your team because of them my was wasted
Compare to past visits portion of meat and gravy was a little lacking and fire wore over cooked Parking: Parking is somewhat hard to find do to bing on main road downtown
Got ripped off, they don t put much cheese on the poutine and the gravy was lacking, won t come back
Excellent food and customer service. The staff has good product knowledge. Helped in suggesting two of the best poutine options. The price is good for the portion size.
The food was amazing and the customer service was up to the mark. The overall experience was great.
We went there just for a quick birthday meal we ordered a traditional tater tot poutine with extra curds, a pulled pork poutine that he wanted popcorn chicken added to it and boneless wings. There was a single person both taking orders and fulfilling orders which could be the main issue it was a lunch rush I have 0 idea why you had one person during lunch rush. She proceeded to hand out the wrong order to the wrong people and messed up our order she gave extra pulled pork instead of popcorn chicken and I was given something else entirely with jalapeños and some other weird toppings which doesnt sound like traditional to me. This was my first experience with this restaurant and honestly will be my last this was not a great experience and I wouldnt recommend it to others based on this experience.
Magnificent
I had an amazing experience here (31st march, 2023, around 7 pm), customer service was on top, the employees addressed me with a smile, and the food was amazing. The modifications that I asked for in my poutine were done perfectly. This was probably the best experience Ive ever had in a poutinerie.
Went last Saturday, Barrie Smokes. The gravy was almost water. Fries were not crispy.
This place is not nearly as good as it once was. I ordered a WOW size poutine, and the toppings were minimal. Not nearly as generous as before, or the same quality. Theres a deal where you can purchase an additional side for 3.99, which was not honoured. I was charged 5.99 and told its only 3.99 if Im adding the side to the poutine itself... how does that make sense? Nowhere on the screen does it say that. There were people behind me so I didnt bother fighting it. Then I got my side (popcorn chicken) and couldnt believe how small the portion was. Over 32 dollars for poutine, a tiny cup of popcorn chicken (which was supposed to be on sale), and 2 drinks. Totally not worth it. I think thats my last time going here.
i have been soooo excited to try this place for so long and finally did tonight! the customer service we received was fantastic and the poutines were absolutely amazing! i ll definitely be back (100% will be back after the bars on the weekend LOL)
Should a good place, sunny, such a good worker. Working on a Saturday making amazing poutine definitely deserves a rise to at least 22$ an hour amazing service made the rest of the night that much better pay. Him. More.
Dont like people, they think we dont understand their language, so they are commenting and laughing on customers. Such, a bad behavior from the staff. Specifically towards the girls.
CAN be delicious but there are times when smokes poutinerie simply does not deliver on making good poutine. Often fries are too soggy under all the excessive condiments, and prices do not justify that
Very tasty food, great service, highly recommended
Lol 1 employee working taking orders and making the poutines = unreasonably long wait, terrible service and worse poutines. So expensive for such little portions and the little cheese was not even melted. You know it s bad when you have to throw it in the microwave a few times. Save your time and money, make your own poutine it s better for you and your family and your wallet
Was a good
Horrible service way over priced no customer skills took forever for my food even tho the store was empty. Fries were not cooked fully I even asked for well done fries. I will not be coming back thats forsure I should of read the reviews before I walked in the door but I was hungry
Very good !!!
Every time Ive got a poutine from here, it tastes like burnt onion straws..
Sadly this location has been trending in the wrong direction for awhile now. The wait times can be atrocious due to minimal staff, and after you wait you find out your food is barely warm, to say it was cooking would be a lie. Nothing like taking the bus home after work just to find out what you bought for dinner isnt fit for human consumption.
Went for a free meal promotion.
Theyeve got 1 person working who takes orders, mans the cash, and cooks all the food for walkin and all the delivery people. Is this management serious???? I waited 15-20 minutes for fries....fries...fries!? This was a Sunday night. Its obv guna be busy esp with delivery orders. It was suppose to be a quick in and out. Took so long the ice cream in the car melted. Stop being cheap and hire more staff. That poor girl working was in the weeds! And when did it get so expensive. Costs less to buy their merch shirts than their fries. Jesus.
The food was ok. There was not enough gravy and not a lot of cheese. I went here 2 years ago and the food was much better. I dont mind paying for good local restaurants to thrive but I did not get value for my money. I will not be returning
Best poutine I ve ever had! :) -sincerely an American Food
Smokes Poutinerie is delicious, highly recommend trying it. Lots of selection of different kinds of poutine you wont find anywhere else.
Ordered through skip the dishes. Waited 1hr20min for a single poutine that costed 20$ This was a disgrace, I used to be obsessed with this establishment and I haven t been there in a long time. All I got was overbooked bacon, potato skins and either undercooked or overcooked fries Looks like I won t be ordering from here again.
This place is always been so great all the different kinds of poutine!!!!
I ordered the pulled pork poutine, it was pretty pricey and a pretty long wait, The poutine itself yes a bit soggy and is lacking a bit of flavour, for the price I would rather just go to Harvey s and get a poutine there
Very toxic staff and really bad food and unhygienic as I saw the staff eating cheese cube from the container which he was making and the tall beardy guy is very rude to customers
$10 for 2 oz of potatoes covered in canned gravy and cheap mozzarella cheese. Junk.
Do the city a favour and pack up. Ripping people off for food and customer service is no better absolutely disgusting.
One individual taking my service, ruined my order after getting home. The owner refuses to replace my order after speaking with him directly on the phone. This place is boycotted by myself and family of the area, and the business owners and residents of Barrie already get idea. This is ruining the businesses downtown Barrie.
I cannot even explain how bad the food and service is here downtown barrie - not to mention, my husband wasted his time attempting to contact customer service. 1 star is not low enough-- too much grease, no cheese and no gravy but over $10 for a side of fries
So salty .
Per usual the poutine at Smokes was phenomenal, and the staff was friendly.
The man who prepares the poutine and manages the front counter is a very polite and respectful person. He takes his time preparing the poutine. No nonsense and you get what you pay for.
This is actually one of the worse poutines Ive had in a long time. So disappointed. For the price and portion size. They could do alot better. Fries were drowned in gravy. Literally it looked like soup in the container with that much gravy. Could have used more cheese to balance out the extra gravy. Will definitely not be returning.
Sadly Tanya below is correct. I haven t been into a smokes poutine in years. Finally got to one today and it was awful. I ve always raved about this place and had stupid cravings. I ordered a pulled pork poutine and it was swimming in gravy. Fries barely cooked, just very soft and wormy. I don t think I ll be returning to this location again do better guys. Just. Do. Better.
Worst poutine I have ever had
The prices are up and the portions of the toppings are way down theres definitely better places to go for poutine in Barrie nowadays unless you like paying around $20 for less than half a cup of toppings on some soggy fries
Ppl are good but the food is way far from whats its worth ....
Good food. Not Montreal style poutine, but good for Ontario
Definitely recommend eating in. Fries in general dont really travel/deliver well, but great flavours!
First time at Smokes Poutinerie ! Love the different options, quality for vegetarian and non vegetarian options. We as a family tried a few different poutine flavours and onion rings. Loved all of them !! Definitely recommend.
Whole food quality is now below average.. i went after a while and the poutine was awful.. don t know whats going wrong with the food.. disappointed
Isn t quite well . As it used to be .
Food quality was really very poor And management need to work on that. This place is highly NOT recommended to anyone.
Worst poutine ever
I wish I could do negative rating. I went there after a really long time. Disappointed is the only word to describe. The service used to be soo great before but now awful. The food quality and the management disappointed me. NEVER COMING BACK HERE.
I come here last week and had some fries fries but didn t felt like they were fresh. Moreover my order also came very late. The service was also not good.
Pathetic management and service.
It was a very good experience eating from Here nd the food was delicious
For a place that specializes in poutine, it sure was awful the last (and probably final) time I went in a few weeks ago. The fries were dry and burned, and it tasted like theyd used waaaaaay too much seasoning, possibly in an effort to mask the burned taste. The gravy was also runny and flavourless. Youre better off with a cheap pub poutine, if this is the norm for Smokes.
Staff is very nice and friendly i always love visiting smokes poutinerie barrie
Tasty, fast, convenient, great selection, located in downtown Barrie, indoor seating, various portion sizes and not expensive.
I am writing one star because it s the lowest to rate.
Did not like the taste of putin. Very soggy fries.
Ordered through Uber eats. Ordered 2 regular poutines, 1 large fried perogie and 1 large popcorn chicken. The poutines were rubbery, from the fries to the cheese curds that weren t even remotely melted. The gravy was salty and tasteless. The portion you receive for popcorn chicken and perogies are not even child sized, however the restaurant feels the need to charge upwards of $10 per side. Will not be ordering/eating here again and will not be encouraging anyone else to do so either. Saw online that they were offering 50% off but after receiving our food we still feel we were overcharged.
We ordered two poutines and sides of peirogies and onion rings bringing the total to 50$. When we opened the poutines there was 3 onion rings on top of the poutine as well as 3 peirogies, we were very disappointed especially because of the price . Not to mention the workers were being very rude, and clearly intoxicated.
Amazing place to get drunk food but wouldnt recommend sober
If I could do less I would. First time getting this today just traditional and blah blah blah. And overcooked fries with only a few curds on the top. Ordered tator tots for a child literally 10 in the box? For $6 bucks unreal. Dont waste your money because for what you pay its not worth it.
The food was great and the service was good too!
Ordered two items and only received one.
Service was not as good as it should be.
Only one person working there, didn t wash their hands, seemed to be taking personal calls while making the food and the chicken in my poutine was more rubbery than the cheese curds. Definitely do not recommend
Had a school event where they came 20 Minutes late and ran out of potin Kid-friendliness: Took 30 minutes to open up and made me late for class
They show up at my school late by 2 hours!!!! Then they don t even have enough to supply the entire school! And the serving sizes and wait time were atrocious!
The poutine was cold and not tasty.
I honestly dont know how this place is still in business. The fries are terrible, the gravy is worse. The only saving grace is the cheese curds
Terrible owner, the owner was a bad example to the clerk at the front, I got a butter chicken less cauliflower poutine one of the most expensive ones, something was off, I couldnt eat after couple of bites, the clerk offered to give me the original one for free, the owner rejected that offer and asked me to pay, I get its hard times but I disagree for scamming people due to greed Edit: you suggested below to email you, should have been exemplified at the time of the experience when the owner was involved, not some empty response below my comment to show customer service, my comment still holds, you lost a customer for life due to terrible ownership
This was always our go-to place. Written great reviews before. The last few times we ve eaten there has been disappointing. The boxes are smaller, and he fries aren t fully cooked and over salted and they hardly give you cheese. Plus prices have gone way up too. #BringBackTheOldSmokes
Just had the worst poutin in the world their. Cold me and my wifes
Good poutine!!!
Herad a lot about this place and took time to visit them. First time had poutine in my life. and it had made me fall in love with it. I thank you people for than
Delicious
Very delicious very highly suggested
Always wanted to try Smokes. Disappointed half the order was cold. Shouldve known when I got the order immediately after ordering it
First try these Poutines while we were in Barrie a few days ago,which are tasty. And I kinda more like the Korean spicy one.
I have ordered from smokes countless times and always received a fork without asking for one in the skip app. Tonight i received no fork and called to inquire and the employee working tonight april 9 around 11pm was very rude and didnt care.
Great taste generous portions
Gotta love Smoke s! Best poutine chain out there! Best in town too! A must do stop night or day!
Excellent staff
Not the same anymore, quality of ingredients and gravy went through the door!
Food was good and service was prompt
We had the chipotle pulled pork poutine, bacon poutine , cheeseburger poutine & a mushroom with carnelized onion one. We got mostly the regular sized ones but they are really filling and could be shared by 2 people . The smallest one would be enough for one person ... Highly recommended.
There was a guy working there. I guess his name is Kunal. He was very polite and kind to ask whatever modifications I needed for my Poutinerie. The portions he prepared were huge and delicious. I suggest if you ever get a chance to visit barrie then buy their Poutinerie (one of the best Ive ever had) and eat it while sitting at barrie lake.
Best Place. I often visit this place and their is a guy named Amit He is the best. Would recommend this place to everyone.
IF I COULD GIVE IT ZERO I WOULD! My partner was eating her poutine and found a booger with nose hairs still attached! I needed to pull over to let her puke out what she already ate, I threw mine out I was completely turned off from what we saw
It is great!! Always great friendly staff. Always fresh ingredients!! My favorite is the Perogies, Bacon,sour cream poutine!!
The most astronomically overpriced poutine I ve ever had. Paid $19 for a large poutine that would be a medium and $7 at any chip truck. On top of that, chip truck fries are WAY fresher. The fries here were grainy like the frozen fries you heat up in the oven. Please don t waste your money here, I sure won t be again
Good place excellent poutine.. Real good service good staff
POUTINE = Fries, gravey and curd cheese... Just paid $30 (with delivery) for a poutine without curd cheese..... Cutting corners ????
Lots of variety. But I just didnt like the fries used. Too much gravy for me. Service was good. Just not my style.
Was looking forward all day to getting fries from here, but there was a note saying be back in 20 mins. Was waiting all day for the chance to go there and when I get a chance they arent open. I dont have time to wait 20 minutes. Now Im hangry. Next time I guess I will have to call to make sure theyre actually open.
Not sure where all these good reviews are coming from but the poutine itself was frozen and just preheated including the meat. Def not worth it. We got better food at home
First time so I asked if the gravy was made from scratch or a mix. The staff member didnt understand. Said they had chicken or beef. I said I had allergies and thats why I was asking. Said everything was fried together. Gave up. Ordered perogies no bacon. Got them with bacon. Took them back. Same ones, no longer crispy from the fryer. Now soggy like the bacon was washed off. And plain potato perogies, no cheese. I should have asked but Im sure he wouldnt understand.
Hadnt gone in over a year due to poor quality food and service, thought Id give it another change and once again I was disappointed. They were out of most of the toppings, the fries were half frozen and soggy and the gravy was off tasting, all just as before.
They serve delicious Poutines in a different flavor. Being a vegetarian, I selected the veggie deluxe. It had loads of caramelized onions, mushrooms and green peas. Kudos to the team for maintaining excellent food service all around.
no service. no one answers the number to order.
By far the best French Fries, Real Curds and awesome Gravy...Love that Chicken Beacon Ranch Poutine.
Got charged $16 for a large traditional poutine. The medium was $8.49, might as well have gotten 2 mediums. Way too much gravy so the fries were soggy. Not enough cheese curds for the size of poutine. Would not recommend. Will not go back.
Poutine was not as expected. I went last weekend with my friends and we ordered 2 poutines- classic and nachos. We wanted to use washroom so badly at that time. When we asked the person who was working that day he said it s closed. My question is we are your customers, we are ordering food how come you did not have key to open the washroom??? Dine in is closed that does not mean you keep washrooms closed as well. Owner of that store- I hope you are reading!!
Great deal of options for poutines. The staffs are very friendly and equipped with great customer dealing skills. Highly recommended!
Awful. I ordered the WOW size buffalo poutine and it was just terrible. Chicken was soggy, curds were rubbery, fries were subpar. Could order some better fries at wendys or McDonald s. Overall, the taste was halfway decent but the buffalo sauce overpowered everything else most of the time. If you re looking for a good poutinery, this isn t it. Keep looking.
Great fries/poutine However upset after I requested no gravy on my fries over UberEats and when the fries arrived it had gravy on them.
I was in Barrie this weekend and was on a tight schedule and stopped by to try the poutine. The portions are huge, and I couldnt finish it all right away. I highly recommend their Philly Cheesesteak!
The Chicken and Bacon Ranch poutine was a perfect creation. Very filling!!
A must stop to try poutine, they never get old. I just love their Philly Cheese steak. Highly recommended!
Great indoor and outdoor atmosphere, friendly staff
The portions are large and satisfying. The staffs are amazing and friendly. Highly recommended!
Earths best poutine!
Veryyy Good poutines, massive menu with lots of options and such an amazing cashier.
We came here. We ordered. We devoured. Now, if your looking to feel good about yourself and staying in your calorie.. whatever you people call it... Wrong place. But if you want pure unadulterated comfort food because a) you drank to much. B) you had to deal with your drunk friends all night. Or c) [my personal favorite] you just want to enjoy everything because someone might run you down at the five points; walk in to smokes, order a double pork poutine and some fried cheese curds. Make sure to burn your mouth on the first one to develop a minor callous. Then you can consume without hesitation.
We had a wonderful time here. The place has got a cool vibe. The poutines were large and tasted delicious! Their chef knows the art of making lip-smacking poutine. I am coming back to try more dishes.
Typical Canadian food, good price for the amount they give you, excellent to share with friends
Its 8:38pm, i came here at 8:25pm ... staff is inside store and they are not opening, i call you 2 times not even respond the call. At least dont waste time of other. Very poor staff and service.
Delicious poutines! The portions were smaller compared to other places, but they were really good.
I had Smokes from the food truck at a festival and loved it; took a friend to the downtown restaurant and it was just awful. Overpriced, poorly cooked, hot smelly dining room. Wont be back. Such a shame.
Been recommended eating hear by a number of people. Tried them for my first time today, of course had no idea what the menu was but the guy helping me was patient, and even recommended this amazing chicken and bacon poutine. I loved it. Everyone should visit here at least once!
We had the worst poutines from here last night. Very dry, with little gravy. There were very little curds as well, even when 2 orders with extra curds. You used to have the best poutines, but not any more! Very disappointed!
Sad. When we arrived there was no one behind the counter, we yelled hello to see if anyone was there, a employee came from the back to serve us. After taking our order, without washing their hands at any point or wearing gloves, or a face mask, they made our two poutines. Turns out they were out of 50% of the stuff in both of our orders and put extra sauce on them, which would have been fine if the sauces werent clumpy and off, especially the gravy it was still gelatines and the fries were still frozen in the middle when we got them. Overall this use to be one of our favorite places to go, i think over the past 2 summers the cleanliness, management/ staff and supply has been really off... could just be every time i go, but it didnt use to be this way.
We visited here last week and ordered a veggie poutine with fried cauliflower, sriracha and buffalo ranch. The cauliflower was yummy, but the rest of it was horrible. The fries were clearly old and dry, the gravy wasnt enough and the cheese curds were chewy. I love poutine, and I was really disappointed
Always a great place to get poutine, and my personal favorite. Limited staff during Covid, but sanitized and properly cautioned.
meh, ordered a wow size Korean poutine for $20. Not really worth it imo, its chinese hotsauce on some thin steak slices drenched in sauce. Smokes is okay for a quick craving fix of poutine but cant really justify it for that price. I got booted out for not having a mask initially which was understandable, I did forget it in the car. I returned with a mask on but the irony is that hes serving me without a mask on as well.
Good service and good food
Such amazing traditional poutine !
Good Poutine and good portion
Its good food just really pricy for the amount you get
Didnt have high expectations from a chain restaurant but it was actually worse than expected. Fries were undercooked and way over-salted to the point where I couldnt even eat it and barely any toppings on top.
Usually great, need to change the fryoil more often.
I actually came here after promising myself I wouldnt after having a bad experience with a member of the staff, well this time the gentleman working was amazing super friendly and very obliging it was on a weekend , a Saturday even so Im sure he was busy but just for his attitude I will be back again now
Great pouting Great service
Good customer service
Always delicious, great portion sizes! Amit keeps us very happy and fed!
Super delicious and super fast, always thankful for this welcoming and kind gesture of the staff. One of the best Ontario. See you soon guys
A1
Amazing food , amazing service
Super nice staff. Food hit the spot perfectly. Good experience.
Great poutines but its getting rather expensive.
