Nothing beats a poutine from Smoke's and I'm so glad they have their Buffalo chicken poutine once again! It's always been my favourite! I decided to try some of their new add-ons and wasn't really a fan; the pepperoni bites were hard and had no taste other than "burnt", the pogo dog was literally an over priced POGO stick brand dog, the popcorn chicken was okay but nothing special. But let's be honest they are known for poutine for a reason so as long as they keep killing it in the poutine game I will always give a good review!! Thanks again for staying open for delivery during these lockdowns! read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - Canadian (New) Near Me - Oshawa, Ontario

I can't think of anything more Canadian than eating bunch of poutine and writing a review about it. Poutine is poutine, if you haven't tried it you should. This franchise gets my rating for innovating on something that doesn't need innovation but they found a way to make you realize poutine varieties was actually meant to be. Now I feel like I have to go back to order a different kind even if they are really all the same and don't taste any different. I like the pulled pork poutine outside of the traditional because it's the only one that seems to have a real difference in taste. Go on enjoy a big fat bowl and then pass out because trust me there's no way you are not to get a food coma afterwards. potatoes are always worth it for me anyway! read more

there was a toilet flood from a woman flushing drugs, and the worker just threw the mop on the floor after doing barley anything about the water leaking all over the floor. the food i received has no gravy, and the bacon on my poutine is brown and tastes disgusting. will not be going back. read more

Well, my 15 yr old and husband liked it. I'm not quite sure how to explain this meal - it confused me. Ok - I tried it. Will probably not have it again. Place was clean. Hard to get street parking. read more

really enjoyed the poutine from this place. It's not your traditional poutine, but the Thanksgiving poutine was awesome. I will definitely be back to this place again when I'm back in Canada. read more

This is what poutine is all about. Decent fries, amazing gravy and lots of tasty options to go with it. Too many to list, but definitely worth checking out. I went for the Italian - meat sauce and Italian sausage. It was so good! And unlike other places I've eaten poutine at, you still get gravy as well as the meat sauce. A good combination for my taste buds. They list on the menu the sauce is 'homemade' but I would say it tastes like from a can. Howeverm that being said, it is very nice, and I would order it again. I will definitely be eating here again. read more

Walked in to a very very rude employee. The sign was unplugged and we notified him, which he responded "they don't pay me enough to fix it." We probably should have walked out at the first rude encounter with this employee, we ordered anyways and our food wasn't worth the interaction or the wait. Other customers came in, which the employee didn't acknowledge, they left. Very upset with our food and service, we love Smokes but it might be time for a break.

I brought my man there for the first time. He is a poutine addict and he had never been. Tsk tsk. He stared at the menu like he was in heaven; he had no idea what to pick. The lovely lady working there told him not to be scared. She was great and knew a lot about Smoke's itself, not just the food. He got the Philly Cheesesteak and I got the usual Nacho Grande. I mentioned that I will eat guacamole on anything. She said I could get guac on whatever I wanted. Excellent. The Nacho Grande is my go-to, so I've got to try something new next time. My man LOVED his poutine. He said that the sauteed onions were perfect and the gravy was good. We'll be back; he already has his next meal picked out. read more

I haven't tried Smoke's poutinerie apart from a food truck in downtown Toronto but can only assume their quality assurance is the same across all their locations. These were disappointing. I ended up getting the regular/traditional meal size poutine because I felt you have to get the regular poutine right. Consider me a purist/traditionalist? Breakdown: Fries weren't that crisp and the entire dish (each component) wasn't warm, it was more lukewarm. Good amount of cheesecurds but they were still cold-ish. They were sqeeky good! Gravy was decent, probably could have added a tad more. Overall, just average/subpar poutine. $8 is just too pricey for that. The special ones were $2 more. Interesting to note they have local varieties, special to each location? The Oshawa ones actually sounded decent! read more

Smoke's Poutinerie - Regular poutine - meal size $8 - Canadian (New) Near Me - Oshawa, Ontario

Finally tried them out because online reviews were great... maybe drunk people? Unappetizing to look at and the flavour was worse. It literally looked and tasted like someone barfed into a box, closed it up, and handed it to me. Too much goop drowning soggy fries with rubber cheese bullets. I swear they took a mozzarella Cheesestring and cut it up onto the fries. Thankfully I didn't eat much of it and tossed it... it took all my life force not to throw up. Took nearly a day to get rid of the queasiness. Can't imagine if I had eaten more. Hard pass. read more

We had Montreal Smoked meat Poutine in the a.m., drove back home to Oshawa and came here to compare the poutine. It's okay, and nowhere near the original stuff in Montreal! What to improve: There's a slight bitterness to the poutine resulting from the fact that the fries are not peeled, and over fried. The poutine would taste worlds better if they just peeled the fries & made sure to not over brown the potatoes. As well, the smoked meat is just sliced processed meat. Try using real smoked meat please. Otherwise the place is clean and bright, and is open very late hours. read more

I love Smoke's because the quality is consistent no matter the location. I've been to Smoke's in Halifax, Toronto and Oshawa and it is always good. I like this location in Oshawa even more because the Smoke's Hot Dog joint just opened up beside, so you can get a ridiculous hot dog and killer poutine right beside each other. read more

Have been a regular customer for years now. Great choices, with an evolving menu, always something new to try out. Very clean establishment, prompt service, very good value. Top notch management, always looking to please the customer. Try it out, you will be pleased you did. read more

New to the area and came by after seeing the Chicken Bacon Ranch on facebook. Have never really had many types of poutine, other then at New York Fries but this poutine was very good. There were only 2 people working, but service was still fast and friendly. The chalkboard on the wall was fun and added a bit of character to the store. I would go back to try another. read more

Pickup is not available due to people not picking up their food , I totally understand, but I tried to order food literally outside of the store , ask for a deposit for pickup, not every one should suffer from a few crackheads not picking up their fries, will not be back , decent service though. Ordering through skip and Uber eats costs much more , thus why I drove to the store read more

Definitely not the best poutine Not the cleanest or most hygienic either I've tried smokes a few times now trying a couple of different selections each time liking it less and less When the staff and kitchen look dirty and no hair nets is not at all appealing And to top it off the don't accept credit cards This was my last time read more

Went to the food truck frenzy in Whitby and decided to try them for the first time. I'm not sure if the store location is better but the cheese curds were super cold which made everything else not very hot. The gravy was very thin. I love fries, fries and gravy and especially poutine, this was disappointing read more

The fries were dry in the middle with barely any cheese curds and the gravey well wtf it tasted like turkey gravey you would use for Christmas and its was pricey def could have gotten a better poutine elsewhere with a larger portion for less money read more

What a disappointment, I thought Oshawa was hitting it big when we got a smokes. They sure spent a few bucks to spruce the place up but why wouldn't they spend some more on the product. Dry tasteless McDonald's style fries that are very unappealing and no matter what toppings they just seem like a dry overpriced mistake. Walk down the road to buster rhinos for some real poutine or even Montreal poutine on Bond street read more

Came here because it was close to the hotel we were staying at while in town, it has to be the most delicious Poutine I've had so far. I will definently come back here again when I'm in town! A+++ read more

After ordering our meals from Smoke's Weineries, we went over to Smoke's Poutines. We decided on Montreal Poutines which was smoked meat over poutines. I was a little disappointed with the meat because it tasted bland but daughter thought it was good. She always wanted to try Montreal Smoked Meats. The poutine sauce was bland as well. Service was friendly though. read more

By far one of the worst poutinerie place I've ever been to. Now I'm sure this place was good at one point in life but this was my first time to this location, and let me tell you I am NEVER going back nor am I ever recommending this place to anyone. Let me start off by saying I'm sorry if this offends anyone but if you were in my shoes you would have agreed as well. So here is what I've experienced: It was around 9:45pm my wife and I had a long day and have decided that we should stop by at this famous poutinerie place in oshawa. From the outside the shop looks nice and the interior is well decorated (very appealing colors). We approached the counter and requested to know what was good as that was our first time there. The young boy with a black tang top and a school back pack told us that he recommends the "Country style Poutine Chicken" but without the peas instead bell peppers. So we went ahead with the order as it sounded appealing. While waiting for about 20 min my wife decided to go to the bathroom. When she return she was at shock, she told me how dirty the bathroom was, as if it was not cleaned in a month. So with silence we decided to watch who and how they handled our food. A very young boy (maybe 17 years of age) was basically doing everything while there were 5 others there talking and challenging each other about doing push up and swearing about a female girl they might have mated with the night before. At this point my wife was turned off by this place and decided to admire some of the "newspaper post" they have hung on walls, while looking thru them she noticed that the tables were dirty and crumbs of fries all over the place, the floor was very sticky and cob webs on the ceiling. Really made her wonder who cleans this place. After waiting 20min for two large portions of poutine our order was called up. We smiled and thanked the boy who made the food. When we reached home we opened our containers to be shocked by the state of the food, my wife and I tried a couple bits and was disgusted by the food, in her portion they added loads of gravy with no cheese and over filled with veggies. In mine barely any topping and little to no cheese at all, what's even worse is that they forgot to pour gravy on mine. How do you make poutine with little to no cheese and NO gravy? To think after paying $30.00 for our meal we would at least get a decent tasting meal... Either way I decided to have couple more bits of the fries and call it a night. The next morning I woke up with very upset stomach and continues vomiting for 2 days aka I was food poisoned. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE, my friends and family recommended me to report to the ministry of health department. That will be left to be seen. read more

Best ever , almost had all their poutines, hogtown and nacho grande are my favourite, the wow size is for those really hungry people and is basically two normal poutines. I also like how they bring in new recipes all the time. read more

I am so happy I've found this place. Regardless of the location, I am always happy that I chose to eat there. The staff is always so-up beat and ready-to-go. The music is awesome, such a nice change form today's music! There is so much to look at, and I love reading the menu! I usually get the pulled-pork poutine, or just the traditional poutine. Never disappointed! The portions are huge, and well worth my money! read more

I've been to smokes a few times now and have tried a few different poutines. They are all pretty good. I wish the gravy was thicker though.

Poutine was great from Smokes because that's what they do !! The sausage is nice and cheese curds are always melted to perfection. Pop in after the bar and get some !! read more

Went on opening day, September 30th. The place was packed and there was a line-up, but the teenager on cash was cheerful and happy to serve. Ordered the traditional with the sauteed mushrooms to get a taste for their style. The cheese was great. Has a nice "squeak" to it. The gravy was bland. Almost tasted watered down but it was thick enough. Mushrooms looked good, but again were fairly tasteless. Fries weren't bad, but I did bite into a couple that were not entirely cooked through. All in all, can't say that I enjoyed it. I think I ate a quarter of it and tossed it. And I love poutine in all shapes and sizes, so it was a disappointment. This is my first time going to a Smoke's, so I'm not sure how it compares to other locations. read more

It's A Hit Or Miss Honestly. I've Gone In Before & Gotten Some Good Poutine But Recently The Poutine Hasn't Been That Good.

I used to be a regular but in the last few months I've gotten a cold poutine and now a poutine with almost no cheese. I will not be back

i love the food here, always great for an after bar treat, i do wish they mixed the poutine more instead of clumping everythnig on top though read more

Stopped by medium sized regular was over 10 dollars its potatoes rip off taters are cheap

I live and worked down town Oshawa and was looking forward to poutine but I wish I didn't go it was not good it was tasteless water down gravy and the fries were not cooked I will never go there again and we be letting people know read more

Three of us stopped by to try it out on Sat Nov 9th around 4p.m. Restaurant was nicely decorated, very clean and fairly busy. There was a group of about 6 people waiting at the counter when we walked in and the order person/cashier just stood there staring into space. We couldn't figure out if we were in a lineup and waited a few of minutes before asking. There was no lineup and the order person took our order with reluctance. It seemed like we were bothering her. No smile, no hello, just a blank stare. We had a lengthy wait but there were several folks ahead of us to be served so we waited. When our order came up on the window, 2 traditional and 1 double pork there seemed to be some confusion. The double pork was taken off the window and someone was taught how to prepare it. The 2 traditional were left there and a few minutes later the double pork reappeared. The 3 orders then sat there until the order person took a new order at the cash and then proceeded to serve those folks their drinks from the cooler. We finally got our orders and left to eat in the car. Needless to say the 2 traditional orders were stone cold. The fries were crispy and very tasty but cold, the cheese curds were cold and therefore solid and the gravy was tasty but cold. The gravy must have been cold to begin with as the curds should have been a bit stretchy. I was so looking forward to real poutine but was sadly disappointed. I think this company may have grown too fast and the product has suffered. No way should poutine ever be cold read more

Best poutines I have ever had! I don't normally eat fast food but I always save my cheat days for this place. The poutines are always delicious, they have a wide variety and limited time poutines. They service is always friendly and I can't wait to go back! read more
