    I have been on a poutine fix for at least a couple of months. I am normally not a devoted fries…read moregal. However, if you give me poutine done right, I will devour the fries and everything else in it. I bought a Groupon to dine at this Philthy Philly's eatery a while ago. I had passed by this location in the past, as my favourite Starbucks in Whitby is in this plaza. On Saturday, I drove over here. It was a soggy, rainy day, but it did not deter me from dropping by. I walked in. There were two construction workers in front of me. They were so sweet to let me order first. I said that I needed some time to look at the vast menu and let them take their time to order first. The man handling the cash and the food was polite and helpful. I had $20 to use. I went with the regular Philly cheesesteak and a regular breakfast poutine. I made a mistake with the latter and went a size up than I usually get. I normally do the Phil size, which is the small. When you order a cheeesteak and poutine, you get a drink for free. Nice! After all the dust had settled, I paid $3.14. First, it's nice paying pi. Second, the receipt had blue ink. It was different and cool. I got my cup and filled it up with Diet Coke at the beverage area. I liked the fork dispenser next to it and got a ton of napkins. I knew that I'd need them. I secured a comfy booth and watched TV. Roughly ten minutes later, my food was ready. My Philly cheesesteak had mushrooms, sauteed onions, green peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes. I asked whether the asian BBQ sauce had a strong ginger flavour. The man let me sample it. Awesome! It was perfect and I asked him to put it on my sandwich. My regular breakfast poutine looked amazing. It had two fried eggs, cheesesteak, and bacon. They were all in there with the cheese curds and gravy. I was so excited. I love the cheesesteaks here. It throws me back to visiting Philadelphia. My sandwich was perfect. The bread was perfectly toasted, but it was still soft and yummy. The beef in my cheesesteak was done right. I loved all the veggies and I'm so glad that I went with the asian BBQ sauce. The sandwich was delicious. The breakfast poutine was amazing. I didn't finish it all in one sitting and had the rest of it to take home. I normally don't like my eggs with runny yokes. However, when it mixes in with the gravy and cheese curds, it is a non-issue. I loved the cheesesteak and bacon mixed in with the poutine. It is so over-the-top good! The bacon isn't crispy, which is perfect for me. If you don't like bacon with body, you may want to pass on this one. Otherwise, I could eat the breakfast poutine as a meal. The place is clean. The women's washroom is also clean and maintained extremely well. The only complaint I have is walking around the restaurant. My shoes made that sticky noise whenever I lifted each foot off the floor. Other than that, I love this place. The food is tasty. Staff are courteous and hard-working. There was a steady stream of customers when I dined there. I'd come back in a heartbeat to experience another carb overload. (119)

We were originally going to go to Pai, but since there was a line out the door because we didn't make a reservation, we ate here. The interior was fun, with the original owner's face on many different things, and there was a loud-ish mix of rock and early heavy metal. Apparently, this spot is a chain, and they used to have some US locations, but I'm not surprised they closed. We got some Cauliflower Bites for 5.49 CAD to begin. These were decent and, unlike our poutine choices, not overly salty. The little bits of fried cauliflower could have used a bit more flavor, but they worked for texture, and both of us eventually added some pieces to our poutines. My poutine of choice was the Prime Beef Deluxe, with ground beef, mushrooms, caramelized onions, and green peas, for 13.99 CAD. As a whole, the poutine was rather nasty, with the whole thing feeling wet. The watery gravy lacked flavor compared to the couple of other examples I've had before. The fries, even though they were hot and looked crispy, were limp and potatoey, and they were getting limper by the second because of the bad gravy. The cheese curds were decent, but there weren't that many of them. The beef didn't help how wet the dish was, nor did the frozen peas, with the only decent parts being the caramelized onions and mushrooms. I had maybe 60/70% of it, leaving many very wet fries at the end. The other person had the Buffalo grilled chicken with grilled chicken, buffalo sauce, creamy ranch dressing, and green onions, which was a dollar more. From the little bit I tried, the chicken was certainly better quality, though still a bit gummy. The buffalo sauce had a little bit of heat. The whole thing was extremely overdressed with the sauce, dressing, and gravy, and he had maybe half of it at most. This meal was terrible. They were both a salty mess with bad fries and worse gravy. I've had better poutine in NYC, and there are barely any Canadian spots here. Go here if you're high or drunk and therefore lack proper taste buds.

When I walked in the walls were filled with pictures of the food and fun art. There was also music videos playing on a TV which was awesome to watch while I waited for my food to be ready. I ordered the Traditional Poutine and the Bacon Cheeseburger poutine. The cashier was so friendly and patient while I asked a few questions. Once it was ready it was HOT and overflowing. The traditional was really good. I personally would've liked less gravy, but I think most people would've loved how much they gave. As for the bacon cheeseburger, I felt like the beef could've been more seasoned, but the bacon and cheese covered fries hit the spot. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and it was so filling I couldn't even finish it all.

If you're visiting Niagara Falls and craving a true Canadian comfort food experience, make a stop at Smoke's Poutinerie. The portions are generous, the fries are crispy, the cheese curds are fresh, and the rich gravy ties everything together perfectly. With so many creative topping combinations, there's something for everyone--even butter chicken poutine... we didn't try that ... they have something for the classic poutine lovers to adventurous foodies. The service was quick and friendly, making it an easy choice for a satisfying meal after exploring the Falls. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a delicious, filling bite!
