| - I always recommend Philthy Philly's over a Smoke's poutine, but yesterdays experience was quite something! Service was kind of abrupt and hurried, as there were only 2 girls there, and between manning the cash and cooking in the back for about 15 waiting customers on a Thursday evening, they seemed to be spreading themselves quite thin.
My friend and I were getting take out for us and one more friend, so we decided on getting one medium and one large size, in the meat-lovers and chilli flavours. The girl warned us when we ordered the largest size poutine, but we blew it off as her thinking the two of us were going to finish the two poutines on our own. It wasn't even too bad when we saw it, but once we got home and started to dump them on plates to divvy up, we realized how much of a mess we had gotten ourselves into. (Although it wasn't a bad mess to get into, for $28.)
The meat-lovers was very good, even though I thought it would be overpowering in porky ways. That was a good intro, divided between three people....but then came the large size chilli poutine. I'm telling you now, if you want to get a large, make sure you have four people sharing that thing. Neither of us finished our portions of the large poutine, and it alone would have definitely been enough for all three of us. Sadly, poutine is never that great after a night in the fridge, but Philthy Philly's continues to not fail with their portion sizes. If you really want the best bang for your buck, go straight for the largest size. The price differs for different flavours, but usually finds itself around $13-$15 for the large size, and is good for anywhere from 2 to 4 people.
