| - Is poutine the equivalent of post hangover food in Canada? Because I can't imagine anything better to eat after a night of drinking. The traditional poutine includes fries, cheese curds and gravy. Smoke's Poutinerie has the traditional option and also specialty options that include everything from bacon, chicken, beef, steak, eggs, mexican style, vegetarian style, etc. We were told their most popular one is double pork (bacon, pulled pork).
The sizes range from snack, meal size, wow size (example box sizes to the left of the cash register). The snack size can only be done with a traditional or traditional + one topping. The specialty poutines can only be ordered in meal or wow size.
We ordered the pulled pork and were 100% happy with our decision. The pulled pork was flavored well, sweet and a perfect match to the poutine. The fries were thicker than skinny fries, thinner than wedges. We asked for light cheese curds and they graciously put them on the side for us (I'm not big on cheese, yet I think I would have been ok with the regular amount of cheese) and the gravy was heavy enough that no fries were dry, yet no fries were over drenched either. Good job guys!
Smoke's Poutinerie is in the Pawn Plaza shopping center (A mini container park?) which is connected to the Pawn Shop shown on the famous TV show. There is seating only outdoors and not very many for the number of restaurants in the Pawn Plaza center. There is plenty of FREE parking on both sides of the Pawn shop!
I personally would not be able to eat Poutine as a meal and would consider it more of a snack. My friend and I shared the meal size together and it was perfect for us. Sit outside and people watch the tourists, get some dessert next door and check out the famous pawn shop. Easy, free, convenient parking and lots to check out in the area- seems like a great date night! Just don't tell your girlfriend you got the date night idea from me! ;)
