| - Years ago, when I visited Ajax every other weekend, I stopped by this plaza and noticed Smokes Poutinerie. It wasn't open to the public.
Last month, I came by and noticed that it was open for business. I have never been to Smokes Poutinerie. I hadn't had lunch, so I went in.
It looked fairly new inside. I noticed that the menu had a meatball spaghetti burrito. It looked good.
I went up to the woman at the counter and indicated that I wanted the meatball spaghetti burrito. She replied that it wasn't available and that only custom burritos were accepted. Already, I was disappointed.
I then saw the country-style poutine. I asked if I could get a snack size of it. Nope, that's not available in that size. I could only get that in a meal size. Considering that I get tired of fries, I knew that going larger wasn't a good idea. However, I wanted to sample the peas and mushrooms, so I said yes.
A woman and I were waiting for our orders. We saw the same woman who had taken my order burn an entire batch of fries. We both knew that it was a bad sign and talked about food handling best practices, as we have both taken courses in the past.
As expected, there were way too many fries for my liking. They weren't tasty to begin with, let alone for an entire meal. I ended up eating the peas, mushrooms, cheese curds, caramelized onions, bacon, and whatever else was on there, and called it good. It was definitely not yummy poutine in my books. Luckily, I washed it down with a Diet Coke, which was good.
Sadly, I won't be coming back here. As much as I want to give the meatball spaghetti burrito a try, I could do a better job making it at home and knowing that it's available.
