We try to make an excuse to visit Fredericton every fall for the sole purpose of eating lunch at Smoke's for an order of Holiday Poutine. We love their regular menu of poutine the rest of the year but the mix of turkey, stuffing, peas, and cranberry sauce, that they only offer in the fall, really ramps up the flavor! We felt there was a little too much gravy this year but that did not stop me from eating every single bite of the Wow size order!
Ordered a poutine, was not at all enjoyable, threw it out because I was not able to take another bite. I don't recommend a butter chicken poutine. It had a lot of whites of the green onion and the butter chicken was just the sauce mixed with gravy. Had it been more enjoyable if the temp was a little lower on the gravy, I might have eaten a little more. Overall, for the price, I expected chicken in the butter chicken sauce and for there not to be gravy mixed in. As well, just a small amount of green onions would've been better so it didn't overpower the taste completely. Dining area was clean but you can smell the humidity in the wood (like an old wet cabin) which may or may not start to mold?
A pretty decent place to go if you're craving poutine! Today's service was good, but they only had one guy working everything, but he was super kind and did our orders correctly and well. The poutine was pretty good too, and the cheese is real Quebec cheese, as it squeaks as you chew. The gravy was pretty good, and the fries, you can tell they are frozen fries but they were still pretty good. Overall a pretty nice place to go!
I tried the veggie poutine, not my favorite but is ok. The workers apologized because we waited long time for our two orders.
Was looking so much for this Poutine. But I guess it is like Russian Putin, big promises but low results. The amount of cheese is low, the price is high, and the most ridiculous is that when you pay it is even exist an option for tips (for the zero service fast food)
5 minutes before closing I showed up at this place , one lonely worker with that look on his face . Took my order with a smile, even went the extra mile. COVID Friendly measures Taken. I felt safe during the poutine makin'. Thanks for the late night supper and hospitality. The food was great even though I expected it not to be.
The poutines made here are top notch, mid price range with a poutine and drink costing almost $20 but,you won't regret trying one or more they are exceptional! Pic is Philly cheese steak poutine. That and the coke was $16.well worth it in my honest Opinion!
EDITED FROM 6 YEAR OLD REVIEW (Previously 4/5 stars) Few years ago the place made a pretty wicked poutine; may not have had crunchy fries, but you'd get a massive portion of fries and meat for the price you'd pay. Went back in for the first time in years last week - the portion of meat I got on my poutine was honestly sad. No joke it was at most 1/5th what used to go on the poutine. Looked like somebody grabbed a tiny spoonful of pulled pork and dropped it on top. Literally like 4 bites worth of meat and a tonne of overly salted, soggy fries for nearly $20. Yikes.
Can be so quick to get your order!
Abit pricey but you get a decent amount and a variety of poutine choices
Great service, mediocre food, way over priced
Oh my goodness. The Donair Poutine is absolutely amazing. Still thinking about it Best poutine Ive ever had!
Simply not very good. Location allows for decent people watching. If you do like it, it s a decent value.
Paid $8 for 3 deepfried dillpickle spears... very disappointed as the advertisement on the menu displayed a full box. Extremely misleading and not to mention EXPENSIVE.
Absolutely dynamite!! Got two poutines- avalanche and perogy. The large is absolutely massive. The guy at the counter was so pleasant and our orders were make correct (had a couple adjustments to original items). Overall great experience 10/10
Just had a quick lunch here. It had just opened for the day and we ordered $80 worth of poutines. Just subpar fries (soft, not crispy). There was little to no salt added to the gravy or fries. Very bland (it was the vegetarian gravy). The staff was awesome and kind, just seems like quality of food not great anymore. Five to ten years ago, this was a favorite spot. It was also cold in the restaurant.
Smoke s! Our first stop back in Fredericton on our trip up from Maine was poutine for lunch at Smoke s. Oh my goodness, so many types and toppings. A large is truly LARGE. A great value. The French fries are exceptional. I had the butter chicken poutine and the flavor was unbelievable. We love Smoke s!
This is the best place for a poutine. You cannot beat it.
It was horrible experience.didnt like the food.
The food the workers have to assemble is good. But the workers themselves ruin everything by being so drugged out. Unless you want drunk meth addicts making your food dont go in after 11pm.
Very good poutine, had bacon and butter chicken and onion rings. Perfect cooked, nice and crispy. Delicious. Will be back again
Taste good but not 20$ worth for a poutine. Price is expensive.
It hits the spot if you want to actively feel your arteries clog.
Very little toppings on the poutine (pork and cheese curds), waaaay too much salt, and the fries tasted freezer burnt. For a $20 poutine, very disappointing.
The team working here are super friendly and chatty. Always good portions and taste poutine with a range of extras. Vegetarian options: Loads of options
This is definitely not poutine, the sauce was bad and the cheese taste nothing
Could always use a little extra gravy closer to the bottom of the box! Hot delicious fresh.
Store is too loud, prices are inflated for what amounts to cheese, potatoes, and gravy. But if you need a quick poutine downtown its not a bad option.
Ive visited Smokes Poutinerie twice, and it has left me with mixed feelings. The first time, I tried their classic poutine, but it had an unknown spice that I didnt enjoy. I prefer a regular poutine, and while it was slightly pricier than my favorite Costcos poutine, it was still reasonable compared to other downtown Fredericton restaurants. On my second visit, during their annual opening, I had the cheese with chipotle and mayo poutine, and it was absolutely delicious. Perhaps I should give Smokes Poutinerie another chance to become my go-to poutine spot.
Very good food, amazing staff, just a little expensive for fries, cheese, and gravy.
Had the small pierogies they were tasty with the perfect amount of toppings.
I always visit Smokes when in Fredericton. They have great selections , generous portions and friendly service. Highly recommended!
Definitely don t order the bacon cheeseburger.
I was not expecting much since this is poutine outside of the belle province but it was open so why not. The suace is excellent and really makes this poutine. The fries were great and the correct cheese curds were used. I would have like a little more cheese but overall good food and I would go back next time Im in Fredericton.
Amazing people who work here. Give them all a raise. hands down the best service Ive ever had at a fast food/restaurant. 10/10 recommended and the taste is amazing. Absolutely love it. Xx
Perfect for anyone who loves poutine but wants a different take on the basic flavors
Delicious
We arrived hungry in Fredricton to find this little shop was giving away poutine! It was a delicious treat and a warm welcome to the city!
Good pouting and large portions. The vegan gravy is yummy just wish they had a vegan cheese option. A bit overpriced.
Great place. Took my kids there and the servers were accommodating. Definitely recommend.
Great poutine
Smokes remains the premier location for poutine in downtown Fredericton
Had the BEST experience at Smoke s with Nate. Such great service and friendly vibes. 10/10.
Delicious.
Its potuine. In every variety of the rainbow, but still, limited to deep fried food. Obviously, if youre headed there, be aware, but if youre shopping for a salad in a poutine shop, youve already got a screw or two loose.
We were a group of 20+ who walked in off the street Nivember 20, 2022. Variety of ages. The food was good and hot after our geo-cache hike around downtown. The shining star, though, was the single employee who took our orders and made them. He was very friendly and efficient when dealing with us. Always had a smile.
Holiday poutine is delicious but a bit costly. No complaints otherwise.
Well the food wasnt as good as I remember I get the same pretend every time I go in and for some reason I get pepperoni on my triple fork instead of sausage Lack of gravy and cheese not happy with this visit
Decent
Great Service and Great Food! I highly recommend if you in for something rich and tasty.
Love it for what it is! Not a 5star restaurant so don t expect that. It s delicious poutine with any topping you can think of. Tastes great sober or not!
Awesome poutine!!!
Great poutine
Country style is my favorite...with always friendly service!!
Good stuff, solid poutine!
Just like it says on the tin; this fast food style eatery specializes in poutine. They serve a variety of tasty poutine dishes. Advanced warning: Smokes is very generous with their portions, so order accordingly.
I was really looking forward to eating a delicious poutine, and Im disappointed. I went out of my way to go in for a popcorn chicken poutine and was told they didnt have any left, after a couple awkward moments of silence I asked if there was any alternative he could offer and he said I could put boneless chicken on it. Yay, sounds good. But I got home to 3 pieces of chicken and barely any gravy. I paid 26$ for two medium sized poutines with barely anything to them, I felt like I was just eating plain fries. The 3 stars is for the fact that when he did make my poutine, he displayed excellent hand hygiene and covid precautions, which is always appreciated. Unfortunately, I probably wont be back for the price of what I went home with.
They need to service their heat pump. The place reeked of musty, moldy mildew. Im sure it was the heat pump. Looks like it hasnt been cleaned in ages.
Good Overall
Poutine did not have enough cheese curds or gravy. Disappointing
The fries are always limp, they never add a lot of gravy, and if they do, its in weird big clumps. the fries arent ever crispy either. its always really expensive, and the poutines are mediocre at best. for the price, youd assume itd be one of the best poutines in town, but it isnt. every time that ive come here, the poutine is never hot, or even warm. its like its been sitting out for 30minutes, although i eat it almost immediately upon serving. really disappointing, dont think ill ever come here again. tell your employees to do better or give them a raise, because its clear they dont care at all
Was Delicious but way too expensive and they dont even have mayo !!!
Good food
2poutines both with no meat and wrong veggies paid for extra meat too very disappointed will not be back
Great place, Moncton needs one
Huge variety of different poutine options. We tried the Korean and the bacon poutine and thoroughly enjoyed them. Friendly staff as well
Soo good!!!
Cool fun friendly good eating
Great place in the heart of Fredericton for the taste of the frozen north
Friendly and quick service, has a variety of great poutines, would highly recommend!
Not a fan of poutine. But they have some vegetarian options. So like it. Quick service.
Its always super good, a ton of options and the portions are huge!
Solid poutine
I is what I is. And that is not a fan of poutine as a main. But this place is probably ok if youre into that sort of thing
Cracking poutinerie, loving the old skool 80s vibe
Amazing. If I lived here I would be going weekly! The one time I visited, I fell in love.
Its garbage
Great service even during Covid-19
Foods tasty and filling, but the prices are atrocious. Were a potato growing province; even with reasonable overhead costs and profit margins it certainly doesnt $18 to make a poutine.
Smokes is a great place for poutine. Always reliable, and open late.
Good place n nice service
I honestly really enjoyed their food. Went here consistently during my stay in Fredericton. Great prices, and great portion sizes.
Looks and smells good. Service great. Food nasty.
Good gravy, crispy fries and quick service. Can you ask for more?
Workers seemed uninterested in providing satisfactory service.
Sorry is terrible expensive this portion is $5.00 plus TAX !
Cant find prices on website.
5 dollars for 3 perogies? I dont think so, thats more than a dollar for 1 tiny perogy. The price leaves a salty taste in my mouth that I dont like.
Good poutine. I enjoy the 80s rock as well. Big selection of poutine flavors. If you like poutine you should enjoy Smokes.
Unbeatable taste. Every time I try them I love the taste more and more. The only thing is the price, it is higher than normal.
Love this place great food amazing customer service very friendly environment highly recommend!
Good poutine with veggie (possibly vegan) and gluten free options.
Dirty place
Delicious and unique!
We visited it from Mexico, a delight!
What can I say Yummy
I must say this is the best Poutine restaurant I have tried. Nothing is going beyond this one. It offers great variety of poutine you can imagine. They are not just the plain fries with cheese curd and gravy. They are all loaded up with top-pings of your choice. You have to pay a bit more for the quality though. Drinks are also available here. So, after a long day an order of poutine and a bottle of drink, it will just make my day.
So tasty.
Awesome poutine. Fair prices. This is not fancy dining but its awesome poutine.
Smokes has me addicted, save yourself before its to late!
Specialty poutines, craft beer for sale and a delightful retro inspired decor.
Always a great poutine!
I cant say one bad thing about this place! Delicious poutine and Beer in one place? Pffft, doesnt get any better than that!
The veggie pouting doesnt have a good taste.
Best place for poutine in New Brunswick
The best poutine, lots of affordable options, and a great staff who clearly love their job.
Great food, friendly, bit pricey. Loud heavy rock last time I was there maybe not to everyones taste.
So good....
So so so good. This place is awesome. The perogie poutine with caramelized onions was everything I didnt know I wanted in a poutine. Get the extra gravy, its worth it.
Pretty good as fast food goes. Always get veggie gravy, it is actually better than any other gravy ive had veggie or not
Watched them microwave my fries...wasnt flavorful or worth the money. Disappointed.
Loved it will be back for sure
Very good poutine, was very surprised. I had the prime beef poutine and the mix of beef, mushroom, peas and onion was very good. I also enjoyed the decision, with a great 80s vibe. Id come back only for the playlist, the best of rock and pop-rock from the 80s.
Its good, uses a beef style gravy stock. Lots of variety and very filling. A bit expensive, but does feel worth it at 2am
Favorite place to eat at in Fredericton
Was a little disappointed. Had been craving good poutine, and while this shop had a few thing in its favor, it came up short. First, no beef gravy. Second, they didnt have the kind I finally decided on, so I went with the one pictured below with avocado, sriatcha, sour cream, and cheese. On the plus side, its a great location and has window seats so you can people watch as you chow down.
You wont leave here hungry. Amazing food!
Best poutine in Fredericton.
Friendly service and good food
I should have chosen the traditional poutine, but even the fries were ordinary.
Great poutine!
Putin
GREAT poutines. Expensive.
Very disappointment with the customer service I recieved today. One of the girls was new and it was none of her fault, but for the other girl who was training her was very unprofessional. I ordered 2 snack size traditional poutine, 1 regular veggie deluxe and 1 regular pulled pork. We told them it was to go. They packed up the bag and gave it to us. We did not realize until half way home we only had 2 snack size and 1 regular pulled pork(missing veggie deluxe). I brought it back it Hopes that it was just a simple mistake that she forgot to pack the fourth in the bag. That was not the case at all. The girl told me I had to buy another one when I explained my situation. I said no I bought 4 poutines, Im missing one. She argued with me and said I only paid for 3. I said I paid 37dollars there is no way 2 snack size and 1 regular comes to 37. She did a test on the cash and of course that only came to $26. Then she did a search on her cash and found the original order and saw I was right. Long story short she did not believe me and basically called me a liar when I explained what happened and when she realized she was wrong there was no apology ever given. I have worked in fast food, mistakes happen but there is a right way and a wrong way to deal with it and this was definitely wrong. I will not be going back.
Yami
Bit expensive.
Refused to deal with missing items after using Skip the Dishes. The restaurant is responsible for the contents and quality of the order. Train your staff properly.
Amazing poutine!
Always great ... Friendly staff
