I came here because of my Canadian roots. This place is for sure a chain and I first tried it in Toronto. If you plan on getting poutine, you should consider consuming about 5 minutes after preparation. This will give it adequate time for the cheese curds to melt.
The poutinerie is authentic to the ones in Canada. They have all of the classics, including country gravy and cheeseburger. The staff is very helpful when answering questions and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure your poutine experience is awesome. We sat outside and the staff checked on us a few times, even though they were prepping to close.
Out of all of the poutines I've tried at Smoke's, I feel like nothing beats the traditional poutine. The cheeseburger poutine was peculiarly similar to Sonic's chili cheese cony. My last comment is that this food did not quite provide a good bang for the buck. You can get Jones soda and they've got a new flavor each month!
I'll be back in the future for a drunken snack, when I don't quite care about value or quality and I am just looking for a cool atmosphere to sober up.
