Smoke’s Poutinerie Port Credit

What negative things can you stay about Smoke’s pourtinerie? Nothing at all. Came into this location at 1 am on a Saturday and was able to be in and out within 15 mins which is a better than the Toronto counter part where you’re waiting 30 mins for your order.

try cleaning up all the empty containers all over the street before your employees go home.

Great snack spot. Staff are efficient and food is reasonably priced and filling. Been to this location a few times and never been disappointed. Peppercorn chicken is excellent the gravy is nicely spiced with whole peppercorn. A healthy amount of meat is given. The steak peppercorn is equally as good but with the curds too salty for my taste. Surprisingly leftovers keep well when re heated the next day the fries were still soft and fresh. Ask for curds on the side if your taking out and plan to reheat later. I have no idea if this is authentic poutine… if that matters to you.

yeah four stars seems about right. not the best poutine you’ve ever had (cheese curds don’t have that signature quebec squeek!) but still leaves you satisfied. portion sizes are deceiving. the meal size (medium) that initially appears shrimpy can satisfy most strong hungers… will end up being two portions for smaller individuals. about 20 different varieties full of all sorts of toppings from pulled pork to chili cheese steak to sriracha chicken. for me it’s always traditional and i was not disappointed. will be back.

I’ve never not been happy. I get the vegetarian poutine. The only problem is that there is almost too much to finish, but it is so good, you finish it…

Taking poutine to a whole new level. So glad I don’t have to travel to the Toronto location anymore to enjoy high quality poutine.

When in Canada, you have to have poutine. On my way to the airport we stopped by here for an order and it was such a huge disappointment.
Poutine is a Canadian thing which is fries, gravy, and cheese curds. My cousin and I weren’t too hungry, so we ordered the snack size traditional poutine to share. I didn’t like it all all and neither did my cousin who is a native Canadian so she’s had her fair share of poutine. The gravy tasted like gravy from a jar you buy during Thanksgiving. Overall there was nothing special about their traditional flavor. Perhaps their other combos are better since it has other additions.
Located in Port Credit across from the Burger Priests. It’s a very small show with only limited seating and maybe a handful of seats.

French fries, cheese, gravy and toppings, how can this be bad? It can’t. I’ve been enjoying Smoke’s pouting since it was just a food truck. And nothing has changed (that’s a good thing!). The original is amazing but you have to try the nacho grande and the Philly cheesesteak! So many combos to choose from (veg, pork, chicken, beef).
One word of warning, it is way more filling than you think. Meal size is plenty!

Excellent Poutine! Fresh crisp fries, piping hot gravy ample toppings too! (I got the pulled pork)
The meal size was just right. Came hungry and barely finished it.
Clean, (important to me) quick and friendly. We were looking to stay and eat but there’s very little seating. Three (double seat occupancy) tables is all. I guess mid Saturday afternoon is busy. Place was full when we got there and line up by the time we left with our food.
Parking on street, or in behind store.

Smokes is always the best poutine in the GTA! So happy they are here in the Mississauga area. This gives me excuses to visit Port Credit more often. If you haven’t had Smokes, you’re missing out! The classic poutine with bacon is my fave.

On a cold Friday night, SummerFunGirl and myself decided to try out the new Smoke’s Poutinerie that recently opened in Port Credit. Being a big fan of good poutine, I was excited to try out their offerings. Inside the music was blaring… it felt like we were at a Rock Concert… and the speaker is directly over where you order so it’s difficult to talk/​hear the cashier. We placed our order… one WOW sized Hogtown (sausage/​bacon/​onions/​mushrooms) and one WOW sized Philly Steak (peppers/​onions/​steak/​mushrooms/​cheese sauce) and waited. And waited… and waited. There was only one person ahead of us but we waited over 10 minutes for our order. Now this would’ve been fine if they were hand crafting a delicious poutine in the open kitchen but you know what… they MICOWAVE half the stuff!!! How can you charge $ 13 for a MICROWAVED product??? That’s like going to an authentic Italian Pizzeria and they serve you a frozen McCain pizza. The fries are deep fried of course but the meat and veggies are in a plastic bag that they nuke and throw on top… Sheesh. And the taste? Unfortunately deeply disappointing. The fries are plentiful but mushy… not golden and crispy like they should be… and the gravy is bland at best. Another problem is, by putting the meat etc. on top… you basically eat the «fixings» and are left with a mound of soggy fries. Portions are big but what’s the point of having a lot of food you don’t want to eat? It would be better to put the fries on one side of the box and the extras on the other side so you can combine them as you eat. We were left with a box of fries and little gravy… tried reheating the next day… had a couple bites then threw out the rest.
To be honest… Harvey’s poutine has crispier fries and tastier gravy for about a third of the price. And to be a Poutine only place and not cook up the meat and veggies per order while charging high end prices… sorry Smoke’s…that just doesn’t cut it. The face of the original owner is plastered all over the place… T-Shirts…walls…condiments…potato sacks… but maybe he needs to spend less attention marketing his mug and more attention to the process and product. Sadly won’t be returning again.

A classic smokes! Now located in the popular lakeshore strip of Mississauga. Finally!
Came here on a Saturday nights grab some dinner and the group I was with was pleasantly greeted and helped. The service was great and interactive. We had three poutines all of which were made up to the standards of the smokes located downtown.
The place itself has limited seating, so grab a seat and have your friend order.
The delivery time of the food was good, we waited maybe 2 – 5 minutes but our food was hot and good!
Another franchise to add to port credits growing community! Will go again!

I love smoke’s poutine.
I’ve been to a few in Toronto but this one is literally down the street from my house.
Awesome location, amazing food, seriously.
Smoke’s never disappoints.
Every time I go I always try to get a different combo.
Last time I got pulled pork, this time chicken fajita. Delicious! Went to the grand opening free poutine day when this location opened and was super surprised that they were giving away FULL SIZED poutine for free!
This company definitely knows what they need to do to succeed in the food industry!
A+++

Tried Smokes for the first time this Saturday when they were giving away free poutine from 12 – 4. So happy with this addition to the neighbourhood! Poutine was great & portions were huge (a large could feed two persons!). It was also fairly good on reheating (and I never eat reheated fries…) Excited to try the other selections!

This review is going to be pretty short and if you want a little more in terms of detail, take a gander at my review for The Burger’s Priest which, coincidentally, happens to be right across the street. The excitement that I had for Smoke’s opening up in Port Credit was similar to the time I found out that we would have a Burger’s Priest location.
And both times? Sheer and utter disappointment.
I won’t regurgitate the same stuff (again, see other review) but it comes down to one thing: mushrooms. I freaking HATE mushrooms. I am also a vegetarian. What did I discover the veggie gravy was made out of at Smoke’s? Take a wild guess.
So it’s a fail. Yeah, the fries are pretty good (hence two stars) and I’m sure I’ll pop in for them once in a while. But not the poutine. Poutini’s doesn’t use mushrooms, neither does Harvey’s or New York Fries. So why, WHY must you, Smoke’s? I want a decent vegetarian poutine in my neighborhood just like I want a decent veggie burger and I can’t get either. Why? Because people, for some bloody reason, insist on making them both out of MUSHROOMS. Which I hate. Did I neglect to mention that?

went over yesterday for the soft free poutine opening, i had mentioned to my significant other that we should bring some cash on us, because i was expecting the «free poutine» to be a «tiny» size and just traditional serving.
BOY WAS I WRONG
after standing in the slow moving line for almost two hours in the cold. we had six servings of poutine split between four people.
the franchisee’s father was handing out menu’s and was Super polite in explaining to everyone in the line that we were able to have any style of poutine on the menu, so as we were reading it over making our decisions carefully, i was planning on going for my traditional offering of «triple pork» but then i thought hey! why not try something i don’t normally have, which lead me to having the chicken peppercorn (slightly disappointed) and the hogtown (it was good). what i can say about both poutines is, these were the best servings of poutine i’ve had at any location, and i say this because this is the tenth location i’ve been to in ontario. the fries/​potatoes were superb, i was thinking because the oil is so clean it was really rich in flavor which i have not experienced at any other location of smokes, the cheese was amazing as always, and aside from the addition toppings i move onto the gravy. for the hogtown it was good, rich and bold full of flavor, for the chicken peppercorn i was slightly disappointed in its inconsistency, it was good in portions and not so good in portions… it lacked an overall pepper bite/​flavor to it. really enjoyable but thats my two cents.
great location, parking is sparse (as with all of them)
i really want to take a moment as well and just put it out that, even though this was completely free, i think the ball was dropped with «we’re not selling drinks today» they would have made a significant amount on that portion of sales alone, but alas, i’m not in charge.
will defiantly go back, as my best friends live down the street

I’ve been going to smokes religiously ever since it first opened. So glad it’s finally in mississauga now too. They had their grand opening today. Staff seems friendly. A bit pricey but worth it. I always get the pulled pork poutine. Good portion size at this location or so it seems at first. But my poutine had a very high ratio of fries to cheese, gravy and toppings. Usually when I mix it in there always enough to coat all or most the fries. About half my box of fries were naked even after mixing everything in so the bottom was just dry and bland fries. Still will be back but hopefully they’ve adjusted the portion ratios a bit by then!

Got the Pulled Pork poutine and it was nice and hot. pretty tasty. Worth the wait in the line up

As part of their soft launch, they were offering free poutine this afternoon and they were not even joking with their portions, e.g. meal size = 2 servings for me! AND customers were able to order whatever poutine off their menu which was a bonus.
Staff were very friendly, engaging, and did a great job at getting the customers excited for their freebie. :)
I ordered the Sausage Peppercorn (gravy flavour) and I think the base of fries were boxed up beforehand as some of the elements were cold (sausage)/lukewarm/warm — nothing was hot. Of course, this was probably done in anticipation of serving throngs of people and I understand that. I’m sure this will not be the case on a normal day!
With Burgers Priest across and Burrito Boyz down the street, this is a great addition to Port Credit. Thanks Smoke’s!
Note: Size of actual restaurant is larger than BB, but not by much.

FREE POUTINE this Saturday from 12−4pm!!!
