Previous visits in the summer and fall of 2025 left a large amount of the car unclean, like it had not even seen a brush or water. When this fact was presented to the "gentleman" taking the money he became hostile saying that you can not expect a clean car for the basic car wash proceedure. I insisted this was the wrong attitude to present and the car wash should provide a complete outside wash for that kind of money. I will try once more to see what the wash is like and to make sure the WHOLE car top to bottom outside gets clean and dry. If not, I will NOT be back and will advertise to my associates who visit there to make sure they get decent basic wash job, on the complete outside of the car. My rating based on attitude of the contact person and previous jobs is a D-MINUS read more

I was so looking forward to this yesterday. I got the traditional which was really good & the small size was huge. I only ate a sampling of it because there was more flies than I could count & no a/c on hot day. Gravy was covered so took my chance. Does Ontario have a health department? They should visit. read more

the service was really quick and the worker was very helpful and informative on the menu.

It was my last day I was able to eat in Canada on my couple weeks long trip before I departed back to Miami, FL so of course I was on the search for some poutine. An easy walk down Queen Street, it wasn't at all hard to find and was pretty empty except for another customer. My boyfriend and I shared the triple pork poutine which included the chipotle pulled pork, double-smoked bacon, and italian sausage. We did have to wait a good ten to fifteen minutes for the food which I did think was a little slow since there was no one else in the shop but all in all it was a decent serving, tasty, and affordably price. I wouldn't say it was the best poutine I've ever had but I did love the fact that you could get any type of poutine you could think of! IG: @KFitzEats read more

See all

my favourite poutine in town! so juicy and delectable. will be returning. can't wait! the ambience is amazing.

Another jewel in the Smoke's crown. Yeah, yeah, I know I said "once a season". Guess what, kids? It's fall! I found myself in Kingston during Fauxcoming (it's what happens when bad kids get their real homecoming taken away), and saw that a new Smoke's had opened up. I was happy. Very happy. I got in line for the standard pulled pork, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Turned out that the recipies travel well. The next day I heard some bitching about the gravy, but you have to understand one thing about Kingstonians: If they don't complain about everything, they realize they're living in Kingston and collapse, catatonic. The experience of walking out of the restaurant to encounter a squad of mounted police was certainly one I'm not used to at Smoke's Toronto locations, but it added to the ambiance. A small is still enough. read more

Food was presented decently. Taste was less than adequate. Costumer service was non-existent. Overall was overpriced for dissatisfying food. read more

So after crossing into Canada from the Thousand Islands Bridge, I followed the recommended procedure: (1) Put away your passport. (2) Set up the mobile phone for Canada. (3) Yelp "Poutine." This Smoke's was not far out of my way, and lunch here was a great way to start the weekend. I did not know initially that they were a chain until I saw the information in the restaurant. But I guess that explains why there was so much variety - I would have been content with a privately owned restaurant and a smaller number of selections, but I was certainly satisfied. I ordered the Montreal poutine, because I assumed - Hey, Montreal, therefore traditional, so I was surprised when the smoked meat was, to me, more like corned beef. I should have realized this had I read the description more carefully to also notice the words "mustard" and "pickle." Note that this in no way prevented me from consuming this order quite rapidly (you think I would have noticed they actually have something called "traditional poutine" on the menu, duh). We also had one of the chicken poutines, equally interesting, not quite what we expected, but still delicious. But also, in both cases, they were very heavy and filling, I've dined at places where the fries were a little lighter and crisper, which is more to my liking. Then again, I'll never claim to be an expert at this (but that "thrill of the hunt" thing kicks in again, even here in Canada). I'll continue to prefer looking for small privately run poutineries, just because I'd prefer to support them first, but it's nice to know there's places like Smoke's as a reliable standard. read more

I chose the country style poutine. I found the gravy a bit too salty. But I loved the caramelized onions. They were perfectly cooked and had a hint of sweetness which went well with the fries and gravy. My friend took the veggie poutine. All it had was small chunks of mushrooms. I would've liked having more roasted veggies such as red peppers and onions. The crunchy texture and taste would go really well with the poutine. read more

Sorry, Bubba's, but I think Smoke's has you beat. I'll still go to Bubba's from time to time (it's a Kingston landmark) but you can't compete with the options at Smoke's. I'm sorry, but I like variety, even when it comes to poutine. Usually I'd say "why mess with a good thing?" but this place made me rethink this theory. My fiance, who is 100% American, insisted on some poutine during our last visit to my homeland. I was going to take him to Bubba's again, but decided to look on Yelp to see if there was a newer option. Living outside of Canada, I missed the whole Smoke's phenomenon and had never heard of this place, so we decided to give it a try. So, so, so glad we did! I had the Montreal poutine. Mustard on poutine? Oddly delicious. Perhaps a bit too much mustard, but it was in a corner of the poutine box so it was easy enough to just leave some behind. The smoked meat was good. The fiance tried the pulled pork, which was a nice sweet & smoky chipotle. An interesting combination with poutine. The gravy had a nice consistency and the curd was perfect - a little melty, but not too gooey. There was only one employee working, as it was mid-day on a weekday, but he was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended for visitors like myself, and of course, those drunken late night cravings for the locals. read more

Visited last night after a few hours of revelry; Smokes' at the Hub was the first location we could think of. Very crowded at 1 am on a Friday night, so the order took around 15-20 minutes to make. Delicious poutine though; ordered a small traditional style and loved it. A friend got Country style, which would probably be a better choice as they add mushrooms, onions, and meat. Gravy was awesome and the portions are the right size. read more

Reliving the past in a new place! ;) Stumbled upon this Poutine Haven while visiting Kingston and needed a place for a late night bite. We were not disappointed. It has more poutine varieties than you can dream up! I only wish this place had been opened 6 years ago when I lived here! ** Additionally, If you eat Gluten Free, I recommend the Veggie gravy, as the regular gravy has wheat ingredients. (The girl at the desk was nice enough to allow me to check the labels of both). The veggie gravy tasted delicious. read more

Drunk as fuck? Got the munchies? Craving poutine? This is defiantly the place to go. Chill workers with a chill atmosphere. Poutine is made freshly and perfect. They aren't greedy with the toppings either. You pay for what you get it's amazing. Worth the 10$ when you're passing by. Just don't go during queens home coming, lined up for blocks. I guess the city speaks when you have fantastic poutine. read more

Food was great. When my sister got food poisoning later, we called to advise it was possibly from there. Manager Mark laughed, said we were looking for compensation, (which we weren't), and advised we "clearly were on the website. Find [boss's] info there" and hung up. I've never had such horrendous customer service, especially when I was being courteous and polite. I, unfortunately, will never eat at their chain again. Completely appalled. read more

I was recently in Kingston and before leaving to catch a train back to Toronto I thought I had better try out the poutine at Smoke's Poutinerie. I write a food blog and I keep seeing posts about Smoke's everywhere I go so I figured it was time to try it out. I was blown away by the variety of items that one can put on french fires! The sign I read on the way in said to watch for the return of perogies on poutine! Who would have though???? I had a small regular cheese curd and gravy poutine on fresh cut fries that was delicious! The gravy was a chicken and rosemary sauce (tasted homemade) and the curds had just the right amount of "squeakiness". Filled me up for the train ride home. Highly recommend this place. AND THEY DELIVER! read more

I had poutine from here today and it was pretty terrible. I will admit that I had a veggie one so maybe that was it but I won't be back.

Awesome food, but the service is not amazing at this location. Also it takes about 5 minutes to get your food, which you wouldn't expect for poutine. Overall really good though! read more

I went in to this new "smokes" poutine in Kingston ON. I was appalled at the menu. I went in with a blank mind. I am a poutine connoisseur. I have eaten from north to south in QC. (drummondville-birth or the poutine, had one there. Had Quebec city's finest at the Paul McCartney's get the idea) So, back to me walking in. From what i had gathered, its was "variety" poutine. Not bad. I love "poutine all dressed" (Lavals chez gerald) or "poutine poulet" (coq au bec ville st laurent). But they dont have anything like that there. The first half of the menu is prettymuch poutines with sandwich ingredients named after cliche sandwhiches (LOL @ philly cheesesteak poutine). Or you can have a " Montreal" style one (smoked meat, pickles, mustard...and no gravy). Then the other half of the menu is these weird vegetable/fruit combination poutines that sound terrible. But i sucked it up, payed 8.50$ for as regular of one as i could get. I tossed it after 10 bites when, somehow, they got what tasted like caramelized onions in it. Revolting. BUT..........if you arent a traditionalist or purist, then this could be the place for you. Although i personally dont not have the tongue, this is one of the only places where variety on a poutine can be found in Kingston read more

I have visited Smoke's once and was happy to see that they had vegetarian poutine options. I tried the standard veg poutine and it was pretty good. I thought it could use some more cheese curds, but that might just be me. The servers were nice and there was a definitely energy to the place. I will be back to try out some other options. read more

Mehhhh..... Was ok. Fries not hot, gravy cold, and cheese hard. Maybe they got slammed right before we walked in... But that shouldn't matter. We had the standard pontine straight. No bs toppings. The poutine at Wild Wing is way better.... For a speciality shop , these guys should be doin far better then this. We'll go one more time just to be fair in case it was just a bad day. read more

I really like this place. They're not stingy. Some places I've been to are so stingy on the cheese curds. This place gives you a lot of toppings. I had the bacon Mac and cheese poutine. It was great. read more

Fries are cut pretty thick, which leaves that weird, dry crumbling texture in the middle when you eat them. The cheese curds keep their form pretty well -- some like that for poutine, but I like it when they totally melt apart and spread over everything. The gravy was alright. There's better poutine in the city. read more

If you had asked me a week ago if I was a fan of smoke's i would have given this place 3 stars. As of today? it barely gets one. I've been a vegetarian for almost 8 years now, and usually the veggie nacho is my go to. When my boyfriend brought me my usual from Smoke's for lunch, only to discover that it was loaded full of ground beef. Thinking that it was an easy mistake to fix, we called Smoke's to see if we could just have our poutine exchanged for the correct one. The guy on the phone refused and said "who's going to pay for it? i'm not eating the cost for it." It was not until I told him that I was a vegetarian, and meat was never ordered that he finally changed his tone. And then when my boyfriend went back to switch it, the employee continued to give him a hard time! Absolutely appalled at the customer service!! Bubba's is much more worth the time, and the money! read more

Amazing - I tried the peppercorn chicken with extra caramelized onions and few babana pepers - yummmmy - highly recommended!!:)

Will not be back. This was my second visit deciding to give another chance for better fries... Server seemed more interested in drunk teenage girls than helping paying customers. I have visited a Toronto location and had amazing service with attentive employees and great food. Too bad. read more

Nope. Tried them a few days ago and maybe it was the time of day - dont know. But the gravy tasted fake, warm and waxy; like out of a can. The fries were soggy. Ate a few bites and pitched the box. Maybe I'll try them again but truly cant afford to roll the dice with my cash atm. read more

Delivery- my poutine was kind of.. a pile of slop. I understand a smoked meat poutine isnt going to be pretty but there was 0 effort put in to it.. and the fries were warm.. but stale :| they blew it, big time. Not worth what I paid for it and I'm personally not going to order again. just food for thought ;) read more
