Hands down, the best poutine experience I've had in St. John's! The fries were crispy, the cheese curds were squeaky, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. But what truly elevated this dish was the exceptional service provided by Vidhey. His friendly demeanor and dedication to crafting the perfect poutine made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, I highly recommend Smoke's and be sure to ask for Vidhey.!!!! Cheers 😊
Was absolutely delicious! My wife had it for the first time. She had the traditional and I had the bacon cheeseburger with pickles added. It was so good! Also when we got our delivery they had a awesome handwritten note for us(photo below). I mean how can you not give a five star? Awesome food, service, and a kind note goes a long way. Nothing but Love Smoke's Poutinerie St. John's.
What a fabulous experience with Smokes tonight! Had a day from hell, was tired and hangry and in need of carbs. So I called Skip! I decided to try the baked potato, as I'd never had it before, and it didn't disappoint! Super filling, also! I dont know what I enjoyed more - my potato, or this kind note from Ravi! You turned a very sour evening of mine into a very positive one. Thank you so much for your kindness!! As for the owner - if you havent already, give this man a raise!! Customer service like this cannot be taught. Its either in you, or it isnt. And Ravi has it in spades! Thank you, Ravi!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The quality of the food is good, the amount of food is sufficient and large. I recommend that you definitely try a new model of
Solid poutine. Generous portions and cool toppings options. Got the original and original with bacon both tasted great.
Had some poutine here and the restaurant was empty the entire time I was there. The quality was ok, but certainly not from the best poutine I had and the prices are very very high compared to other places. Yes their portion is generous, but I think they should offer a bit less and be more competitive. Also their floor inside was sticky and not cleaned properly.
As someone new to Canada, this is the poutine place we were recommended, and the first place where we had poutine and liked it. We tried the traditional one, for starters - will update as I get to try other stuff they offer. You cannot miss Smoke's Poutinerie while walking down Water Street - it's a nice place, colourful and clean. Understaffed, as we saw only one person working, but considering we were the only customers - fair enough. The walls are painted with pop culture references and quirkiness - and so are their promotions. Otherwise, there's not much to talk about atmosphere - feels mostly generic.
This place is probably your best bet to get a good poutine downtown. The only other one I've had that's downtown that I would consider better is at the Mary Brown's Centre. Firstly, the service was awesome. I didn't catch the guy's name but he was the only one working on a Friday night, and he was killing it. He was fast and friendly and everything was fresh. The atmosphere was okay. The bathroom is where I had an issue. There was no hot or warm water. Like no water came out when you turned the tap. There was barely any soap left, and there was no toilet paper or paper towel in there. However it was pretty busy and the guy was working alone so you can't fault him. The dining area was clean though. The food was actually good! The fries are really tasty! We got the boneless chicken wings and they were gross. They're just frozen chicken nuggets from Costco, the chicken has a disgusting texture. Our poutine also had a piece of cardboard in it. I thought at first it was a piece of potato skin but as I was chewing it, I noticed it tasted really bad and was impossible to chew, so I spit it out .When I looked it was most definitely cardboard. That's disgusting. Overall I'd come here again and try a different time and a different type of poutine. Also the food in the photos came to $27 after tax for anyone who's wondering.
This is not a good restaurant the fries are hard As Rock I wont recommend this place for no one Food

Customer service mediocrity at its finest. No ketchup, no napkins, no service. The guy spent the entire time on his phone and could care less. The two stars are for the fries. They were good.
Very good food and great service
Great service good food
Great food
One of the best poutines I ever had and the worker upgraded the size of my poutine for no cost which I thought it was nice
Food horrible first we got recoocked fries we told them to change to fresh fries. They gave us again soggy and burned fries full of burnt oil. We took onion rings also full of oil. We left everything at the counter. Wish I took pic to show you.
Went on a summer Friday, all the other shops and restaurants around where packed full of people and the street was full of pedestrians but this place was completely empty and also had a bit of a weird smell. Tried the Korean BBQ poutine, it was pretty bad and I didnt finish it. The worker behind the counter was polite and quick though.
Nice food

Very good place to eat.
Onwer should look up on store no service was less staff AC is not working seating area was mess up I recommend to please increase staff atleast 3 people should be there in night
Had smokes poutine delivered last night and it was horrible. They made sure they served everyone else before having our food ready for delivery driver. Most the fries were burnt up and definitely was not worth the money thats for sure. For two traditional poutines delivered its got to be the worst Ive ever had. Unless your eating in I dont recommend getting it delivered thats for sure.
I came upon this poutine shop after getting off of a cruise ship. This is the first time Ive ever had poutine and I was with a group of three couples and we got three different types and shared them. I enjoyed all three and Im glad we stopped there and Im happy to have had Canadas national dish for the first time. I only complaint is that the orders were too large and we couldnt finish any of them and we were six adults. I would recommend this shop to anybody that was interested in trying poutine.
Great food, service and team!
Grabbed some poutine for our flight home. Very expensive. They scrimped on cheese and gravy but overall a filling small portion.
Huge portions. One meal size served 2 people. Great bang for your buck. Food : 5/5

Delicious food
Great Taste
Don t waste your money! Terribly overpriced and not good poutine. Gravy was tasteless. Top layer was good with the toppings but the rest is just fries with gravy. Definitely not worth the money. Would not recommend. Will not return.
We order from UberEats from time to time and this location delivers with excellence portions are great, taste is always consistent, and great care is taken with each order. Love this location! Our personal favorite is the Califlower Butter Chicken Vegetarian options: Nacho Poutine, Rainbow Veggie Poutine, or my personal favourite; Califlower Butter Chicken Poutine
Different types of poutine available. Fast and friendly service.
We had a mix up with our skip order and we called smokes poutinerie and Sahil helped us get it sorted and upgraded our meal. He was very kind and helpful. we dont use skip often so we didnt know how to correct but Sahil made the process easy.
The poutine was a bit disappointing. All the different variations we order missed seasoning of some kind. Also the prices are way to high for what you get. Ive definitely had better poutine in St. Johns.
I ordered this at 3 am in the morning and I got a poutine that tastes as good if it had it fresh out of the fryer. Excellent job on this one!
I ordered online and was asking for vegetarian (or if they can make anything Halal) poutine and the guy who picked up my call made everything accordingly using only vegetarian ingredients. Great service and friendly members. Food was great too, delicious, hot and fresh.
the service by Sahil was great, he was very friendly
Amazing service by sahil thnk you so much for service , lovely experience

Best poutine in town.
The staff was awesome and friendly. Food is awesome as well.
Paul was great and made an awesome recommendation of the avalanche poutine! The ranch dressing was a great touch
Paul served us. He was so helpful. It was quick and so good! Super clean spot too.
Best late night poutine shop downtown!
Ordered a large traditional poutine ($25) not including tip and it hardly came with any cheese curds. Had to ask for more and was told it only includes two small scoops
The service is great at the first. The taste is good but 3 star for the food bcs I found hair on it. I realized after already eat half of the food and the employee said that it s just spices but then, they offered to give me new food.
Awesome Poutine, Paul was amazing with friendly customer service and the poutine tasted so good. Will definitely come back for amazing poutine.
If you order a topping you definitely get a lot of it! Paul really hooked us up!
I am a foodie guy and I love to try variety of food. But I say that this poutine is best in this city I suggest everyone to go there and try out one time
Food was quick and delicious - worker was so friendly and great multitasker! Wonderful experience
Really amazing place the food brings me back home in Quebec Ravi also amazing service!
