Smoke’s Poutinerie Liberty Village

Did I hear that this company is going to be publicly traded on the stock market! Way to go Smoke’s. You’ve made Canada proud with your amazingly concocted poutines. I traditionally go for the triple pork and have tried quite a few different poutines here but I think right now my favorite is the nacho poutine. Something about guacamole, sour cream and salsa on fries just makes my mouth water.

How do you manage to make french fries taste bad? Ask the good folks at Smoke’s. Then add bland toppings, flavourless gravy, cram it in a one-​size-​only box, and charge too much.
Like so many other decisions made while drunk, you’ll regret it in the morning. And if you eat here sober, you probably think the Keg is a good place to get a steak.

I had high hopes of this place after reading reviews and seeing the unique menu options. I got the pulled pork and the meat was good but, as for the fries I couldnt taste the potatoe in it. Also, $ 10 for a meal size is not worth it. I wont be coming back.

HUGE portions and a but too greasy for my liking, but it does the trick. Had the triple pork and was not dissapointed.

I was hungover so I figured some greasy, heavy food would help. I walked in and was quickly greeted with a friendly smile. I ordered the pulled pork poutine and made the mistake of ordering a large. It was made fresh to order which I was pleased with. I asked for extra gravy and was surprised that they charge for it. Really what does gravy cost? The food was good but it cost me almost $ 20 with a can of pop. That’s way too pricey for some fries and a little pork. This is why I gave it 3 stars and not 4.

On this rare occasion, I ate Smoke’s sober (what!), and it was actually really good.
I was doing some furniture shopping in Liberty Village, and I was cranky. I’m an excellent Canadian, so I knew what I needed: gravy! Stat! I went for an old favourite, the Vegetarian Deluxe, extra cheese. Fries, gravy, (extra) curds, mushrooms, fried onions, and green peas. The peas really make it pop! Add some pepper and sriracha, and bam! Even, though this is a big chain now, this specific poutine is worth four fabulous stars.

Oh so so good especially late on a Friday or Saturday night! There is usually always a line up but it is worth every second of the wait. They have tons of various gourmet poutines to choose from such as the cheeseburger, pulled pork, chicken chilli, and many many more.
I recommend you try every single one of them. This place never disappoints and a great addition to Liberty Village!

We’ve had a couple of the variations here (montreal, smoked meat, steak peppercorn) and generally the food has been good. Each poutine is definitely a meal for two. The fries are appropriately crispy, though the ‘extra’ toppings in addition to the gravy and cheese tend to be unceremoniously just dumped out of the packs they are stored in. As a result there’s work to be done in eating the poutine so as to not eat all the toppings at the beginning and be left with just gravy towards the middle-​end of the poutine. Meats and such are all bunched up, so you’ll be spending time separating out the various slices of meat from one another.
To be clear: this isn’t a bad place to get poutine. But it’s also isn’t exceptional, especially for the price. If I want a poutine that is nice, but convenience to get to, I’ll come to Smoke’s. But if I want a really exciting poutine I’m definitely going further abroad.
Oh! And they only take cash and debit. So be forewarned that no credit cards are accepted!

My wife and I split a large pulled pork. I could feel how heavy it was when they handed me my poutine. Really filling. Also tons of different choices. Smoke’ isn’t my favorite poutine place but worth your money.

Mouth wateringly delishious, gotta try the nacho grand, or montreal, both excellent picks. Be sure to eat it fresh to taste it at its best. Definitely my fav lunch time stop when in the area, if only it were good for my diet.
Be sure to check it out you won’t regret it.
