Smokes Poutinerie - Halifax, Nova Scotia

On a recent visit to Halifax, this was my first experience with poutine. I actually found it quite tasty. The fries were a bit on the mushy side, but what can you expect after topping them with delicious brown gravy? I did find the gravy absolutely delicious and there was a ... generous amount of squeaky cheese curds and ultimately topped with bacon. I can feel my left ventricle slamming shut right now!

I guess when you eat here sober, you realize the taste that the poutines lack nowadays. I asked about baked potatoes, Was told they take too long to cook, So basically don’t order it. I got a bacon Poutine, Fries were mushy, None of it had taste. It was like salt ... was eliminated from everything. The gravy was almost nonexistent. This place used to be the go to, But I made the mistake of coming here And not Rocky’s. Read more

My least favorite Poutine in Halifax. The fries and gravy taste stale and cheap. The price is a bit high for the lack of quality. I have been a few times and won't be back. Staff are always very friendly and quick, the restaurant is always clean which is great!

Huge portion, very tasty, fast prepared, affordable and in a good location. They are open almost all day long and you can expect the same quality every time you come. I had Buffalo chicken poutine and it was very good. There were not so many people and I could comfortably ... eat my meal in the restaurant. Read more

I get that places have promotions, which is great....but when you don't have anything for them/run them anymore, stop promoting them. Asked for 4 different types of poutine before saying screw this and went with their basic menu. Their spicy chicken poutine was horrible, no flavor at all...had just ask ... much pickled jalapeño as canned roasted red peppers, almost nothing for Sriracha and flavorless gravy...it'll I was still there when eating it i would've asked for 3 salt packs and maybe 3 or 4 pepper packs with side Sriracha. The other kicker was not only did I end up paying $12 for this garbage bit I bought a snack pack of fries for my girl's, they actually had a hell of a lot more fries then what I had. The customer service wasn't pleasant what so ever. They use to be fantastic, now I wouldn't recommend to anyone and even explains why they stopped being best of halifax as of 2018. Read more
