Smoke's Poutinery

After waiting all winter and most of spring before the place finally opened, we took a family trip on a Saturday night. The place was pretty much empty. We decided to share two large poutines at $9.95 each. The kids got the pig poutine. It had sausage (could really have done without), pulled pork and bacon. It was pretty good, but the curds don't look like they are local. I chose the special of the month poutine which looked nothing like the picture. It was a nacho poutine, basically a regular poutine with guac, salsa, nachos and lettuce. The lettuce was all rusted, gross! I took it all out. Mr S told the cashier and the "cook" offered a small container of more iceberg lettuce. Since I don't digest iceberg lettuce very well, I turned it down. This poutine was not the best, especially after trying the same type at La Banquise.

Poutineville Ontario St.

I had to take the same poutine I had at our first visit to the original Poutineville. Well, it sucked! It was the most expensive regular poutine with braised beef and red wine sauce. What made it suck was the fact that I got regular sauce instead of the wine sauce. The atmosphere didn't help as a large group had reserved half the place and they were loud. Everything was way too salty.

Luckily I had bought coupons for this place because I must admit I was utterly disappointed. My expectasions were too high for that place. The burger was dry and having to pay extra for griled onions when the burger is $8.95 is kind of crazy, especially at $1,50 for such an addition. Apparently the Kobe burger at almost $20 was moister then the AAA burger. We weren't asked which bread we wanted so we received the regular bread which my daughter pulled apart as there was too much of it. We shared a basket of fried stuff, fried onions, french fries and sweet potato fries. Everything was kind of mushy. At $12, it's big so sharing is a good thing, but not so tasty. Our friend's hotdog was apparently pretty ordinary and with no condiment. The one good food item was the poutine and then again, it was good only because the sauce was good. Sort of mushroomy. Miss C took a marshmallow milkshake. At $6 it was a tall glass, but not sure it was all that big. It was, however, realy good.
