When in Canada you must get poutine. From my experience Smoke's has locations everywhere and their poutine is solid. They have interesting combinations available and I like that they have a few different sizes. At this location I tried their Pierogi Poutine and KBBQ Poutine.
The Pierogi Poutine was great. It was a traditional poutine with pierogis, sour cream, and bacon. I'm no authority on Polish food so I can't say if the pieorgies was authentic, but it tasted very good. Just the right amount of sour cream was spread on top and it was nicely distributed among the fries/pierogies. The bacon was good and crispy. The fries were nice and tasted fresh. The gravy was flavorful and not too thick. The cheese curds are probably my favorite part of poutine. The dish was served hot so the cheese was getting nice and melty all over. I'd certainly order this again.
The KBBQ Poutine was awesome as well. The beef was flavorful and sliced very thinly and the perfect size for a forkful to the mouth. The kimchi flavor wasn't overpowering but it added some punch to the dish. There were also some peppers for a little heat. Overall the dish was very good.
I've never been disappointed by Smoke's, I just wish their prices were a little lower. I also wish poutine was more readily available in Jersey.
