This review is going to be pretty short and if you want a little more in terms of detail, take a gander at my review for The Burger's Priest which, coincidentally, happens to be right across the street. The excitement that I had for Smoke's opening up in Port Credit was similar to the time I found out that we would have a Burger's Priest location.
And both times? Sheer and utter disappointment.
I won't regurgitate the same stuff (again, see other review) but it comes down to one thing: mushrooms. I freaking HATE mushrooms. I am also a vegetarian. What did I discover the veggie gravy was made out of at Smoke's? Take a wild guess.
So it's a fail. Yeah, the fries are pretty good (hence two stars) and I'm sure I'll pop in for them once in a while. But not the poutine. Poutini's doesn't use mushrooms, neither does Harvey's or New York Fries. So why, WHY must you, Smoke's? I want a decent vegetarian poutine in my neighborhood just like I want a decent veggie burger and I can't get either. Why? Because people, for some bloody reason, insist on making them both out of MUSHROOMS. Which I hate. Did I neglect to mention that?
