Why on earth have people declared that Smoke's is just the best poutine ever? So many good reviews, I just don't get it. The rave for this un-finishable to the point nauseating amounts of soggy-ass fries (not 1 single crispy fry), weird tasting cheese curds, and a translucent non-beef tasting gravy. I really don't get the hype that surrounds Smoke's making them an international chain in just 7 years.
Ever so often, I see a Smoke's location and I want to give it a shot. This is how I pretty much came about the Queen location - convenient, close to my work place and an immediate go-to for my sudden poutine craving. I have almost regretted this choice after the first few bites every time before.... and this time was no different.
I paid $10+ for a meal sized poutine with a cheeseburger topping. After few nauseating bites, I threw the entire thing out. The only thing that was kind of, sort of, redeeming about this experience was the cashier/cook. He was super friendly and helped me pick out my poutine from all the different options.
