I read about the fab poutine at this place on a food blog. Not so.
Admittedly nice fries, but tasteless gravy and cold, lumpy cheese curds. This poutine could have benefited heaps from an effortless toss under the broiler, coaxing things into a tasty melt. The curds were cold and lifeless, not squeaky and moist like they should be. Not to mention the flavorless gravy.
Sure it's a chain and their gravy is artificial, but Smoke's offers better value and better flavor. I truly wish it weren't so. I wanted to love this place and left hungry and unhappy.
