Big Dawgz Poutinerie is a casual, no-frills spot tucked into Thunder Bay’s High Street corridor, best known for serving up hearty comfort food centered on classic Canadian poutine with a twist. The atmosphere here leans towards practical and straightforward — think quick and satisfying eats rather than lingering dinners. It’s the kind of place you’ll pop into when you’re craving something filling without the fuss.

The draw for locals appears to be generous portions and a menu offering plenty of variety, from standard poutines to loaded hot dogs. From feedback in the community, the food consistently arrives warm and generous, which suits groups looking to share or anyone with a big appetite. While the restaurant offers delivery, many locals prefer picking up meals in person to keep things hot and fresh, as delivery can sometimes take longer than ideal.

Big Dawgz serves a straightforward crowd — families, friends, and anyone after a robust, casual bite. Those who visit more than once appreciate the range of choices, whether they’re ordering solo or feeding multiple people at home. It’s not a place for formal dining but for taking a break or grabbing a quick meal with familiar flavors that lean heavily on comfort and tradition.

Visiting during lunch or early evening hours feels practical, especially if you’re hoping to avoid delivery waits or get food fresh and hot. The vibe is unpretentious and welcoming without added flair, making it a reliable go-to when a solid meal is the goal rather than an experience-driven outing.

I've never had a bad experience here. The food is always good and in this day and age, prices are what they are and I believe the portions are more than fair. The only thing I don't recommend is delivery just due to the length of time deliveries take anywhere. I prefer to pick up for a fresher pouting experience.

One of the chili cheese dogs I've ever eaten, ordered twice so far, first time the hot dog presentation looked great, second time not so much... the bun was completely separated but the flavor was just as good.

Ordered for myself and my 2 grown sons. The portions were huge and even with delivery the food was still hot. So many different options to try will definitely order again
