Boyfriend HAD to have routine while in Ontario. Stopped by this place. He had the traditional which took forever to make. Saturday night 8:38, the two young men working could not stop talking smack about their co-workers. Apparently one of them will walk out if he is ever scheduled with Ashton. Poutine is not for me, but the boyfriend loved it, so there is that. read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - Traditional poutine - Fast Food Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Came across the border of Canada, mainly for some poutine! I figured if you're gonna go for poutine go to a poutinerie! The staff and service were phenomenal! The place is dead when I went in the middle of the afternoon. The selection of poutine is impressive. I got an original in a cheeseburger. Both were good. Nothing exceptional. But still good. The cheese curds were very squeaky so fresh. Overall, not bad, right in the middle of the tourist area. read more

Stopped into Smoke's to try some authentic poutine, at a highly recommended spot by a friend. It's a chain, but he swears their quality cannot be beat There were a number of menu options, we decided to try the Philly cheesesteak steak poutine. All options start with the same base of French fries with cheese curds and gravy. But not knowing exactly what we were getting into, we decided to share an order. When they asked what size, he pointed to the container sizes, so we opted for large...not realizing how full they pack the containers! The shop is very small, with limited seating inside. The walls covered with funny slogans and self advertisement. Being off peak eating season, the order came out quickly, and damn was that thing full! It was packed full of toppings, super flavorful, but wildly messy. Definitely something you're going to want to eat with a fork. As good as it was, we did our best to finish it off, but didn't want to make ourselves sick, so had to let some go. It was definitely enough to feed two very hungry adjust. I'd definitely go again and try some of the other flavors. I'm glad we went and would recommend read more

As a tourist who has never had great poutine from Quebec, I think this was very good poutine! A lot of locals hate on this place but I couldn't find a reason to be upset. My fries were fresh, the curds squeaked in my mouth, and the gravy was flavorful. The service was friendly and helped me pick out a local favorite to add on to my traditional. The ambience is fast food seating and grease smelling, but it's not fine dining. I recommend for anyone visiting from the states who wants to try it. read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - Classic Poutine - Fast Food Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Ordered two meal size which came to a little over $40 CAN so a bit pricey for chips, but usually this place is pretty solid. Lots of options and everything is prepared once ordered so you have hot fries each time. With that said, this time they got my order wrong and left out the cheese curds on my classic poutine and didn't separate the meat from my Korean bbq order. Overall the food was still great but a meal size is plenty for two adults to share. If you're just wanting to try this place start with the snack size. The flavor of the gravy is great and pairs well with all of the different flavors they offer. Worth a visit even if you're just walking over from the US border. read more

In the chaos of Clifton Hill, which is mostly full of chain restaurants, we found an actual poutine shop in Canada. In our quest to eat food that is from the area we're in, we stopped in. There are multiple sizes of poutine, but I was going for value, so I got the biggest size they have and shared it with my kids. I didn't look like a huge box but we couldn't even finish it. We got as many toppings as we could to try to get max value, but I wish we had just gotten the traditional poutine, because I didn't really enjoy all the bacon bits, sour cream, and extra toppings, which took away from the yummy gravy sauce. Service was great, especially considering it's basically a fast food shop! read more

Interesting stop while in Niagara Falls near the Clifton Hill district. This location is on a busy side street north of the Clifton Hill district. They offer parking at $4/car which is fairly reasonable considering some of the adjacent options. Inside is fairly small, well traveled and not well kept. The kitchen was small and only two people appeared to be working on what was a busy lunch rush. We love poutine, were back in Canada, and who can say no to a "poutinerie"? They have an array of choices over frozen type fries. Pricing varied from $12 to $17 canadian and $3 for a water. We tried traditional and bacon cheeseburger. We enjoyed both options, the gravy was flavorful with fresh cheese curds, the bacon and burger were tasty but fries were just okay. Portions were large and the two boxes were plenty for my party of 3. It was OK and satisfied the craving for the foreseeable future. With so few people working, the array of toppings for the various poutine options are made well in advance. I like having some options but I feel this place would do better with a simplified menu. read more

The quality and taste of the poutines at this establishment were probably the least traditional but the most flavorful we've had yet in Canada. We got it with sriracha, guacamole, jalapeños, cheese sauce, roasted red peppers, pulled pork and perogies. You can add as many or take away as many toppings as you want but be careful it can get expensive doing too many toppings as they charge per topping, and it's even more expensive ordering from Uber eats like we did because they usually up charge the menu more on the platform in addition to all the other fees and tips. The flavors were popping, everything was super yummy and we would definitely order again read more

Fast food poutinerie? Yes, please. We ordered the original, chicken schwarma, and beef deluxe. A lot of food and they were excellent. Order at the counter and found a spot in the smallish eating area. Pretty basic interior but the poutine was awesome. read more

This is the worse poutine I have had at Smoke's. The dining area was a little dirty and not well maintained. We got a large, double pork poutine. It was $25 CDN before taxes. The fries weren't very crispy and the gravy was salty. I regret listening to the cashier's recommendation that Smoke's had good pulled pork. It was sweet and the texture was stringy. The bacon wasn't crispy as pictured, but looked old and fatty. Avoid this location and save the calories for a better poutine experience in Canada. read more

Poutine was delightful, the bathroom decor was a highlight. We got the Avalanche and the butter chicken. Both were piping hot, cheese curds melting deliciously, great toppings. It's a counter service place but our food came out pretty quickly. I wanted a tiny bit more flavor in the butter chicken but I really like spice, so that's a me problem. It was still delicious and the Avalanche was spectacular with the ranch. It was well worth our jaunt over to Canada for dinner! read more

If you want specialty poutine, this is your place! This was my second time here and brought more friends to try it. Some of the best gravy around and the cheese curds are squeaky and delicious. The inside of the restaurant has a table with bar seats along the front window and a couple extra tables of 4. Not too much seating, but if it's a nice day you can always walk with it. They offer 3 sizes for the regular poutine, snack, medium and large. For the specialty flavors, just the medium and large are offered. I have to say I have never finished a box here, so you definitely get fed for what you pay for and it's delicious. read more

Ordered: Cheeseburger Poutine (~CAD$13): fries, Québec cheese curds, gravy, with prime ground beef and cheese sauce Diet Coke bottle (~CAD$3) Aya's take: This is one of those "when in Canada" stops and none of the other food options near Niagara Falls stood out to me. Smoke's Poutinerie made me realize that I in fact don't like poutine but only because the fries get soggy way too fast. I liked the cheeseburger flavor much more than I would have liked just a traditional poutine. Pretty filling and dense; definitely recommend sharing. read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - Cheeseburger Poutine (~CAD$13) - Fast Food Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

This massive poutine chain is worth the hype for flavors & quantity alone. Served quick and warm, the fries are large steak tupe and crunchy. The gravies and sauces are piping hot, sufficient to melt the copious amount of cheese curds topping the fries. We ordered 2 large poutines: an original and a butter chicken. The 4 of us could barely finish these 2 large containers. While the original was nice and simple, the butter chicken flavors made it our favorite. There were at least a half dozen other tempting options that I wished we could try. My recommendation is to order the regular size but mix up the varieties to try (and share). This place loses a star simply cuz the dining room is way too small and one of the menu screens were not working so half of the menu was unavailable to us. Nor did the staff even try to inform us of what's available. Did not like ordering blind item-wise nor price-wise. read more

We got the vegetarian and veggie deluxe poutine. They were strictly ok. Instead of the namesake dish, we really enjoyed the fried pickles. The place was operated by only 2 individuals - one cook (he was fine and looked like he actually cared about his job) and a cashier (who couldn't seem to respond to basic questions about the dishes, pricing and even where the cups for water were.) One star for the concept and one start for pickles. read more

I got a medium-sized traditional poutine, and it was a pretty nice portion! The fries were a bit soft (which I don't mind) and there was a lot of curds and gray. Service was quick, so if you're looking for a decent poutine around the falls this one's worth a try. read more

My sister and I are visiting from the US. She researched the local food and came up with Poutinie. I ordered the Veggie Buffalo-Cauliflower Poutinie and it was WONDERFUL! My only complaint is that I asked that they put the ranch dressing on the side, and they forgot. And there wasn't enough cauliflower, I only had 3 pieces, in the mixture. But it was still WONDERFUL! I ate half and threw the remainder away. The only reason there's no pic of my box is because of how it looked with the dressing. I eat with my eyes and tastebuds, so I had to not have the lights on in the car as I ate read more

My go-to spot in Niagara Falls, ON. I ordered the "wow" size for lunch as I was starving after driving up from Syracuse, NY and not having eaten for about 6 hours. I ordered the traditional poutine and let me tell you, pure perfection! The fries were perfectly fried, the curds squeaky, and the gravy so savory and with a hint of sage. omg! I dream of that gravy. But the wow size was way too big for me and I can definitely eat. Next time I will go for their medium size because it felt a bit like a waste since I wasn't able to carry the food around the rest of the day. The inside is small but well situated for small groups. We had 5 in our group and were able to all sit together. The bathroom was clean and the staff were friendly. They helped me figure out which poutine I wanted to try and were very willing to explain the menu. They do take American money. read more

If I could give 0, I would. I was very excited to visit this place w my family after seeing the Niagara Falls. On Yelp and Google, it said it would be open 12a-12p. We came around 2:30p on a Thursday and it was CLOSED. No sign of a soul anywhere, all chairs were stacked up and there wasn't even a sign out front to explain maybe why they were closed. Just seemed like no one decided to show up to work today. And it felt super weird for them to be closed considering it's located on the busy boardwalk near the falls. It was overall just very disappointing to walk all the way over, just for it to be closed. It forced us to end up eating Burger King for lunch, but at least the Burger King was open. read more

I have gone to this place 3-4 times over the past 12 or so years & feel like it is either going downhill or I'm discovering how much better Canadian poutine can be elsewhere. Try it if you're there, but it's not special. The location also seems to be getting a little dirty. read more

We got three different items. The only thing that was really good was the traditional poutine. We got two other types of loaded fries (can't remember which ones). One was just ok. Not loaded at all and half the fries were dry with no toppings. The other one they were out of half of the toppings but didn't tell us till after we ordered and paid and offered no additional toppings in its place. They were also not loaded and half were dry, my kids were pretty disappointed. read more

Might be the worst location I've ever been too. Won't add any extras and says can't even do gravy when poutine literally is gravy. The person behind us tried ordering with gravy and the employee said they can't do gravy and don't make that anymore even tho it's literally in the menu. Service was bad. Would not be back at this location. Needs to be shut down. read more

This Smoke's is located down the street from Clifton Hill's main drag. It's a pretty hole in the wall location and a hole in the wall atmosphere with the single worker only peaking his head out when the odd straggler rambles in looking for poutine. All and all, it's a decent variation with a ton of different options. We opted for the classic poutine and were not disappointed. Three stars more for the lack of effort than anything else. Though the toilet stall was pretty novel and entertaining! read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - The OG poutine - Fast Food Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

I LOVE poutine, so I was happy to find a vegan option! Sadly, this place completely disappointed me. that they had vegan poutine! The Vegan Classic Poutine description says, "Our Vegan classic poutine is just as delicious as our signature classic poutine." The description for the Classic Poutine reads, "The in house made gravy has the perfect creamy texture topped with delicious pieces of cheese curds & melting cheese." Unfortunately, the vegan poutine is NOT classic as it has no cheese. There are plenty of options for vegan cheese. To serve 'classic' poutine without cheese misrepresented what I was purchasing. What I paid for vs what I got was truly disappointing. I got fries covered is gravy and a few vegan meatballs that were not very good. My mother, who is traveling with me and is also vegan, wanted to actually go dine in tomorrow to try their regular poutine...no thank you! I want nothing from this restaurant except my money back! read more

We were in Niagara for the day and wanted some poutine. We found Smoke's and were so happy we did. They offered a variety of poutine options and it was so delicious.

Not my thing. Kids all tried it also. Felt it was overpriced also. The taste was almost a gelatinous gravy. Cheese/curd-- rubbery. Service. No bags to take my two orders away in. So. Yeah. Pass. Not worth the 48.00 experience read more

Do yourself a favor and ask for gravy on the side. Why, you ask? Because otherwise you get a sloppy mess in your carton, about the consistency of not-quite-set jello. The gravy isn't particularly good, with salt the main flavor. My wife thought it was also too vinegary, though that wasn't a problem for me. I'm not a poutine expert, but I'm not a hater. Two days later I had a very enjoyable poutine. So these two stars were for the execution, not the idea. And honestly two stars is generous. But let's take a break and talk about the pluses of this restaurant. The parking lot next door was $5 all-day, so we walked to the skywheel without having to pay for parking again. Back to the gravy: we tried four poutines and each one had way too much gravy. Weirdest was that the veggie rainbow poutine had guac, "sriracha", sour cream, and cheese sauce - ladled on top of the same excessive amount of gravy. So the end product was essentially a swamp through which the limp fries swam like slimy eels. The "sriracha" is in scare quotes because it was clearly another type of red hot sauce, which didn't even taste much like actual Sriracha with the green rooster on the red bottle. Did we try just a good old-fashioned "traditional"? Yep. Also subpar. The cheese curds were acceptable, but it's not clear the fries had ever been crispy. We were the only people in the restaurant on a very cold March evening. And the only employee brought the poutines to the counter as they were ready. Maybe the fry oil was not hot enough, but when the fries are no crunchier than mashed potatoes, what was the point of deep frying them? Just to make the oiliest mashed potatoes? Apparently. read more
