75 King St E, Oshawa, ON L1H 1B4, Canada
Absolutely amazing experience! I purchased the Smoke Pouterinie from Caran, and the quality was top-notch. He provided exceptional service ensuring a smooth transaction. Highly recommend this spot and the outstanding service behind it!
Great service. We ordered a traditional poutine. It had the perfect amount of gravy and cheese curds 🤌🏼
Open super late!!! Fresh and super big portions! We got the Buffalo boneless wing meal poutine!
I’m not sure who made this poutine - I wish they left their name, because they made my night. I requested extra cheese curds because I was having an iffy day, and this person went out of their way to write a little note. So sweet and so appreciated. Made my night. Whoever this was, thank you <3 Little moments like this matter so much!
I ordered a traditional poutine with pork added on (extra charge) on Uber eats. When I received my order the poutine did not have the pork on it. I took a picture and sent it to the help section on Uber eats and they refuse to refund me for the additional cost of the pork ($5.49). I get it, mistakes happen. This is more so a bad review towards Uber as I can’t find anywhere to leave a review about Uber and they told me if I’m unhappy with the decision I can leave a review on the merchant. Smokes food is great but I’m unhappy with the situation and how Uber handled it.
First time eating that this location and all I can say was that the food was terrible. I’ve been to Smokes locations before and the poutines are amazing. I’ve never had such a terrible poutine in my life from this location. The fries tasted old and grainy, not to mention we spent about $40 for food that was inedible. Maybe it was an off night but definitely won’t be going back.
I had a similar experience to another recent reviewer. Tried contacting the store and Smoke's direct support emails but have not received a reply, so here we are. This past Saturday I ordered a Nashville chicken sandwich and a double pork poutine to go. The bun was cold and stale (as if it just came out of the fridge). More concerning was that my chicken was COMPLETELY RAW in the middle. I've had food poisoning from undercooked chicken once before in my life, it knocked me out for multiple weeks and required some time spent in the hospital...I am praying that I will not experience this again. The poutine, well...it wasn't great. It was lukewarm and the fries tasted overwhelmingly of peanut oil, with the flavour and smell of the oil overpowering the gravy and the rest of the toppings. I can only assume that the fries did not cook fully or the oil temp was too low, because I've had this poutine several times over the years at numerous locations and I've never tasted anything close to that. Extremely disappointed in the food, but even more so by the lack of response from ownership. Edit: Comments from management below are incorrect and not reassuring at all. They are mistaking me for another person who had the same issue on the same evening...sensing a pattern here. And as for "courtesy" of waiting at least a day for a reply - that's exactly what I did. I emailed them Tuesday evening and receive a response Thursday morning, 36hrs after attempting to contact and resolve this issue.
From my experience, Smoke's Poutinery just misses the mark from an exceptional poutine. I got the Chicken Inferno. The cheese isn't fully melted, and almost tastes rubbery. The chicken pieces are tiny, and in a way, taste cheap. Other than that, Smokes has creative menu options, good service, and a fun atmosphere that makes you want to look around. I give it a 7.5/10.
I ordered a traditional poutine and some fried cheese curds. The Traditional poutine had literally zero gravy in it. The Fried cheese curds smelled like a wet dog being out in the rain too long. Ive ordered here before and never had such a bad experience as I did tonite. Whoever made my poutine and fried cheese curds needs to be fired. This is unacceptable. Not to mention I paid $30 for everything and they couldnt even fill my cheese curds to the top of the bowl. I was refused a refund and im very annoyed..
sooo good buy NOW fr putine slaps

The traditional poutine and Doubling Down sandwich offer indulgent, flavorful experiences, made even better by the exceptional service. The poutine features crispy fries, rich gravy, and fresh cheese curds, delivering classic comfort, while the Doubling Down goes bold with crispy chicken fillets, bacon, cheese, and creamy sauce. Both dishes are served fresh and with a friendly smile, ensuring a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.
If youre craving a hearty, indulgent, and uniquely Canadian dish, Smokes Poutinerie should be at the top of your list. Their menu is loaded with creative twists on the classic poutine, from traditional gravy and cheese curds to wild combinations like bacon cheeseburger or pulled pork poutine. Each dish is generously portioned and packed with flavor, perfect for satisfying even the biggest appetites. Smokes Poutinerie offers a great balance of comfort food with a bit of a twist, making it a great go-to for any poutine fan. Just be prepared its not for the faint of heart (or the small of stomach)! Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience one of Canadas most iconic dishes
The person serving was amazing and the poutine was great! Definitely check out smokes poutine if youre looking for a good spot to eat
Great experience visiting during the Kars on King Event. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was ready quickly and delicious.
Poutine tasted off and barley had any gravy or curds
I ordered from this location yesterday and was absolutely appalled. The poutine was inedible. Fries if you could say that s what they were, tasted like cardboard. The cheese was unmelted and rubbery. Considering you re paying $15 dollars a poutine it is robbery.
I have gotten poutines from here before they are great, last week however I purchased one and the chicken was hard and stale tasting the fries as well when I inquired about this I was told I would get replacement and then when I went to get my replacement they said I wasn t on the list, when I asked to speak to manager I was told they were busy I tried calling several times and no manager to speak to, this is very disappointing enough to not even go back there this location is poorly managed employees need to be more educated on the value of customers and products.
Terrible quality - ordered deep fried pickles. There weren t any pickles but batter. The poutine was cold and so were the cheese curds. Really disappointed. They weren t even busy - so no excuse for the food to be cold.
Hi, i had an absolutely horrible experience at the oshawa King st location around 12:00 am on August 11th, 2024. We ordered two big crunchies & a traditional poutine. when the sandwich came out the bun was freezing cold like it was still frozen, & when i bit into the sandwich is was COMPLETELY RAW. when we talked to the guy at the counter he brushed it off like it wasn t anything serious, & when we said people can die from that he shrugged his shoulders & all he said was sorry. we asked for a refund for both sandwiches as the second made us concerned to eat anything at all considering they are okay with selling raw chicken. he finally agreed to giving us a refund but refused to give one for the entire meal as he said the poutine was fine. The meal order total was $40.07, & he gave us a $20 bill for the two sandwiches, which i don t think is right considering tax, but we just took it & decided not to argue any longer as it was very late. We ended up hanging around talking with friends, & they kicked us out at 1:45 & claimed they were closed, meanwhile the website says they closed at 4am. I think this whole ordeal was absolutely ridiculous. Selling raw chicken is life threatening & not a joke & he didn t care. Edit in response: it was on saturday night, however because it was 12 am, that means it was august 11th. which means yes they kicked us out 2 hours early. it was not sunday. & for the chicken. the batter on one side was still completely raw. they are clearly not checking the temperature on every piece as every piece varies in size, which means different cooking times. from this response, im hearing a lot of excuses & not a lot of responsibility.
The smoke poutine tastes great with its smoky twist, and the presentation is impressive. The combination of crispy fries, rich gravy, and creamy cheese curds is well-executed.
Very pleasant experience but drove from Ajax and got home realized our fried cheese curds were not in order ;( but still great food and great service
asked for a large poutine and still was charged for a small one hadn t been here before so i wasn t familiar with the prices so i didn t think anything of it. i cannot stress enough how many times i asked for a large poutine. was ordering on behalf of two people sharing who both were standing in front of the cashier and even still he punched in a small so now one poutine will be cold while a second is being made to make up for the error/lack of good service
Wonderful customer service from Karan!
very good service by karan and very fast preparation very good food
I just ordered a poutine, and it is so delicious. I didnt have time wait long and the food is definitely on point! Never have I dealt with such a polite and great person when ordering my food. He was so personable, and I would definitely go back there more often if this is the service Im going to receive.
Unbelievable. It costed 27 dollars for two poutine but they served cold fries in it. Absolutely garbage!
We went to eat a large pulled pork poutine, which we shared because its like a quick snack. Its delicious, the service is fast. The food is tasty and stays warm. At this Oshawa location, its generally not crowded. Theres plenty of space to eat on-site.
I ordered traditional poutine and it was not good disappointed.!!
The grilled chicken poutine had no grill chicken it just had tiny tiny pieces of cubed chicken that wasn t grilled
I got the grilled chicken and they didnt put chicken in it. I do not recommend at allll. Worthless restaurant
Too expensive for that your getting.
Food is decent but very overpriced for the portion size.
Dark poor atmosphere
I gotta say a poutine shouldnt cost $26. On top of that, the box leaked out in my friends brand new Cadillac. I will say the food was good but I wont be going back there again. $26 bucks people.
Terribly rude service last night. Won t be back
Its pricey and completely worth it!
Customer Service (girl cashier) was great, but I did see two guys just standing and talking in the back... May have been the owner/franchisee. Either way, they could have taken the time to help the girl out with the till so that the customers didnt have to wait as long - from a customers perspective, its always frustrating to be waiting while seeing people available in the kitchen. Gravy was good, but the fries themselves were soggy and the toppings were ok at best.
Pricey but delicious
The most horrible poutine ever! Bland as hell. The washroom was not fully equipped with supplies too.
Funky little place to dine in or carry out. Huge selection of poutine, something for everyone. Also got the perogy side, which consists of 3 dumplings and a TON of sour cream, bacon, and carmelized onions. Poutine entree definitely feeds two, I can t image how big the large size is! Everything was freshly made and tasty. Gravy has some great herbal flavor to it. Truly a family business here.
Had to add. Very rude service. Food was good. But seamed like we werent wanted to be in there to eat out food..
It was a good experience. The prices were a little higher than I expected especially for the larger ones. We paid $95 for off the menu four poutines.
The new management have the sense of customer service and way better ,will recommend for sure !!
New owner. Paid 31$ for a wow size poutine with extra chicken and curds. I got half the toppings from previous owner sadly I won t be back.
New Management in the last month!! Looks like a brand new place and poutine is spectacular!!
Came in today and was pleasantly surprised to see it has been taken over by new management. They have really cleaned it up and service came with a smile. A very nice and welcoming change.
Great pulled pork poutine!!! Awesome curds and gravy!!! Love it!! Great service!!!
the wait was absolutely awful, one person working. since new management took over this place has completely went to shiet.
The place is superb! Aanal was super friendly, made our order with care. Overall a good service, will try and come back.
Very good customer service

The service and the food was really good. Revathi handled my order very well and she was very professional with her work. She always had a smiling face while talking to us and that s really great.
A gem of a restaurant! The food was exquisite, the ambience was enchanting, and the service by Revathi was impeccable. A must-visit for a delightful dining experience!
Good place to hangout with friends. Good food and a great service by Ms. Revathi.
Extraordinary food .Customer Service by Revathi was so good. Appreciating the way she respects and handle the customers . Great place to dine with friends and families.
Good place to hangout with friends. Service by Revathi was good. Delivering the order in really quick time. Kudos to that
This was and still a great place to go for some amazing poutines. Hanna is a great employee and a great addition to the team.
Great place and the girl working there named Henna did awesome and she was working all by herself
Had an amazing time at Smokes Poutinerie in Oshawa, and Revathis service was top-notch! The poutine was delicious, with perfect fries, melted cheese , and flavorful gravy. Will definitely be back for more!
My favourite poutine place in oshawa, always great food and great staff, Hena was awesome!
I recently had the pleasure of eating poutine at Smokes Poutinerie, and I have to say that Revathis touch is what really sets it apart. Every bite demonstrates how passionate she is about making mouthwatering poutine. A masterpiece is created when fresh cheese curds, wonderfully crispy fries, and flavorful gravy are combined. The dining experience is even more satisfying by realizing that Revathi is the brains behind these mouthwatering masterpieces. Its the ideal place to quench your hunger for poutine because of the cozy ambiance in the store. If youre in Oshawa, stop by Smokes Poutinerie to sample Revathis amazing poutines!

Hena, great service great smile. From kirkland lake to you all here thanks for the epic poutine!!
Hena was great and polite. She made sure my poutine was exactly how I ordered it with veggie gravy and I appreciate that! Thanks Hena
Always a first choice spot for poutine! Served by Hena tonight and food was made quickly with virtually no wait. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience at Smokes. We were greeted by the staff who offered suggestions based on what we wanted to order. My order was very packed with toppings and I was filled half way through. Hena was super helpful and patient while I asked far too many questions to decide my order. They were very positive and always smiling. When my girlfriend was a bit disappointed in her order Hena made her a replacement and turned around her experience! Vegetarian options: Veggie gravy is a great alternative and much tastier.
Great place, good food and classic rock music. Hena made my poutine and it was fantastic. Recommend for a filling lunch.
Hena was the employee who helped me with a great attitude and very quick and friendly service I will definitely be back to this location!
Visited this poutine shop and had an amazing experience! The poutine was top-notch, with crispy fries, delicious gravy, and ample cheese curds. Shoutout to Hena for her friendly service. A must-visit spot for poutine lovers!

Smokes Poutinerie Oshawa allows me to have a taste of traditional Canadian cuisine-Poutine. Staff REVATHI did her great job in explaining the difference between different food mentioned on the Menu and offered a great customer service which enabled me to experience Poutine in Smokes Poutinerie Oshawa.
Nice staff specially dharambir singh Great food Love it! Food : 5/5 |
Great food just loving it! Thx dharambir for such a good food. Food
good food Aanal is very helpful
Told the guy, i wanted pulled pork poutine then when it rang up, showed chicken. Told em i only want the pulled pork, not chicken, then told me yes, i can have it as a side. Not sure if he was even listening but if I wasnt hungry I would have left.. There was Little to None pork with the pountine, wont be back.
Hena was working by herself and did an outstanding job. Poutine was great with fantastic, swift service!
Food tasted horrible. Seems like they gave old food sitting outside. The popcorn chicken had gone bad.
Just ordered this for the first time on Uber eats. Ordered two chicken bacon ranch poutines for like 45 bucks and there was no chicken on either of them. This was intentional and is a scam. Also, very small considering the price. I will not be back.
The girl who took my order (Oct 4 AM) is AMAZING, best customer service every time.
The fries are okay when well done, gravy could be better. Thankfully, its cheese curds.. tiny location, difficult to get-into with a stroller, so Id imagine a wheelchair as well. Staff are nice, prices are a little high for a small-naked fries.. $7? Its a potato.. Wheelchair accessibility: Exceptionally narrow, I could see a small chair getting around with more so-ease but if its roughly the size of a double-stroller and cant really drift, good luck, no power doors either.
Sitting here at Smokes: order was charged correctly but not provided. Ordered Buffalo chicken poutine got regular poutine. Went back to correct it and received a sprinkle of chicken and Buffalo sauce. Bathroom is disgusting- poop on the toilet seat, no top, soap not working. Was told oh we don t use that one well it s not locked! Disgusting Never going back
Amazing poutine, especially the buffalo wings variety. So good.
Great poutine. Amazing different options for poutine. Small restaurant on a busy street.
My experience at smokes pourtine was very good. Dharambir served us very good and he has such a nice nature. Loved it.
I definitely spent some late nights in Oshawa ending up here. Always great service despite the time and great poutines.
The poutine was disgusting:( the quanitiy was too low and it was 18 for veg poutine not even chicken I had to go to another place to eat smth afterwards even I finished my food here
Craving for poutine at 2 am ? This is the place to go . They will not disappoint you. Awesome food and awesome staff.
Food is delicious, stays open late, portion size was very small for the price, food came out quick. Being in downtown finding parking is difficult.
dear holy poutine gawds. thank you for your deliciously delicious super beyond fricken awesome food.. love your long time extremely faithful loyal
Sorry but its definitely not the best pouting around...any Belle Province restaurant in Quebec will beat that... Not enough cheese curds, not enough sauce
Amazing poutine!
A++ Great food, friendly staff! clean restaurant!
Good poutine, but awesome people running and working the joint
If I knew the cheese would be chunky and not melted I wouldnt have came. Picked up with lukewarm gravy. Drove 10min to hotel and had to heat it up again. Fries didnt taste fresh. No napkins provided ! Just the poutine and one fork. Try eating that on the go. I dont usually post bad reviews but there is a lot of room for improvement.
Is there a point of asking for the fries to be cooked a bit extra? Or is that to difficult for someone to comprehend? I feel like when I ask this my fries are undercooked. If I wanted mashed potatoes I wouldnt get poutine.
Found the prices a little high but the food and service was good.
No! Disgusting salty slop instead of gravy! Mushy fries! Yuck it was stupid expensive too! New York Fries is way way better
Went in tonight and there was a guy with some tatts and a bit of a taller fella, really good at making these boxes of poutine and it was super tasty! Could drink this gravy.. seriously on another level
Vegetarian options: They have many options for vegetarians and more amazing Parking: Its hard to park but its still à great place to grab a bite Kid-friendliness: The staff is nice Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs can easily get around
I ordered the butter chicken-less cauliflower poutine. The cheese curds taste like rubber, so much sauce and not enough fries- made everything soggy. But the worst part is that there was only 3 pieces of cauliflower in the whole meal. Disappointing and waste of $15 bucks.
Very rude services. Yelled at my family and us. I was going to eat there but now I m not, you lost my interest with the amount of ignorance you guys gave us.
Great food and friendly service!
I have been to this establishment 4 times now. First time a girl served us. Very polite and friendly. Next 3 times we were there, it was a larger man behind the counter. Rolling his eyes while taking our order. Very cold and rude attitude. Friday October 14th 2022 is the last day ordering from this establishment! Good luck!
I try the regular poutine to know if they nail it like in Québec. Well its a big YES!!! They taste exactly the same! Sooo delish! Perfect recipe of sauce and incredible fries. Next time I want to try tater tots!!!!
The larger man working behind the counter is rude. Has no manners what so ever.
Loved the quality ingredients best poutines ever
Good over the top poutines. Wonderfully over the top portion sizes (be sure to confirm sizes before ordering. Look for local only poutines only available at this location (any with Shwa in the name)
Good customer service and my order was made within a couple minutes. Bought a Chicken Bacon Ranch Poutine. Poutine isnt the greatest. Curds were barely melted and really rubbery. Gravy was hot, but the fries were cold and old tasting. Too much ranch sauce. Barely any chicken. An okay amount of bacon was there, but they seem to add bacon bits too for some reason. 16.00 rounded up for a regular and it is not very big. Likely wont return because of the food.
Quick service and safe covid protocols. Also, delicious!
I love smokes
Great poutine! I appreciate all the vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. I also like the mask the food worker was wearing. It perfectly covered his beard.
My boyfriend ordered a poutine last night and there was half a raw potato in it. He didn t eat it because he didn t want to get sick. Would not recommend for the price or quality. Also the new SkipTheDishes refunds are only credits!?!
I order poutine from this location regularly. I ordered after a while almost after a year...it was disappointing this time however not sure if anything changed like management etc. Ordered butter chicken less poutine and chicken inferno poutine. Former was lacking salt and fried cauliflower bits and cheese curds were hardly noticeable. Inferno chicken was good in taste however chicken pieces were not more then 2-3. I hope this to be a one off bad experience.
Ordered the pogos through uber eats for pickup. When picked up I tried them in the vehicle with my girlfriend. Both mine and hers were still cold and partially frozen. He remade the food after I went in. But the second time we didnt stay infront of the store while we ate them. Tried to eat them and they were still frozen and cold in the center even though outside was hot. At this point I didnt want to go back again for a 3time. Uber eats refunded me partially. Just wanted to give the heads up for others looking at the pogos
Needs vegan cheese to earn that extra star!
Best poutine in Oshawa!
My favorite place for poutine.
VEGETARIAN GRAVY......... For me, its completely disgusting. I wouldnt come back here at all. But for those who may want this option, you can try it out!
This place is definitely the spot to go to for different kinds of poutine
Had Korean BBQ and ordered Bacon wih extra Cheese... regular size was really filling. Fresh, delicious and great fast service. coming back
Never went before. So many choices, want them all, also had the taters, they were mint. Friendly and efficient service
My favorite fast food
I asked about my nut allergy and this guy went on about employees not washing their hands
Best poutine in Oshawa hands down!! Nice hot gravy and real cheese curd, not shredded mozzarella like some other places. I m a fan of the Pulled Pork Poutine! I love the fact that the potatoes are cut right on site frozen fries just aren t the same. Keep up the great work. The place was clean, staff were friendly
Great poutine. Ordered through Skip the Dishes, poutine arrived nice and hot. Good portion size, I had the Traditional and loved it!
Not lacking in the fries, cheese, gravy, toppings, or quality of all four
Smokey parked his truck on my street this summer on Hogan Crescent Bowmanville. I went to the community mailbox and noticed Smokey or helper had ripped down my neighbors poster of their lost beloved pet and replaced it with a smokes poutinerie flyer.
It was good the location is prime for the bar just up the street long hours open till 3 am enjoyed the food Iean its its poutine whats not to enjoy haha.
I had a cold poutine
We ordered take-out and the food was amazing! Loved the veggie options they had especially the jalapeno one.
Great employees, all very sociable except that one guy... Food is great, restaurant is clean, and its way cheaper to come in person than through a meal ordering app.
Amazing service, sometimes you have to wait cuz theyre understaffed right now but still amazing
