Augie’s Poutine Fries & Poutine Burger / Photo x Step Out Buffalo

Cold weather and comfort food cravings just make sense together and if there is one thing we’re craving right now, it is poutine. We have our Canadian friends to the north to thank for influencing us. Crispy fries, topped with cheese curds and a heavy pour of gravy —it’s the kind of dish that just hits every time. Luckily for us, Buffalo has some pretty good poutine game. Not sure where to go? We’ve got you covered. Grab a fork (or don’t — we won’t judge) and let’s dig in — here are 10 places (in no particular order) to get your poutine fix.
