    What an awesome time here the night of the college football national championship. Huge TVs by which to enjoy the game. Wonderful service team and bartender. I loved the vibe and upscale yet outdoorsy feel. The food was quite delish. Of course I'm a fan of the 34 oz Beale Street Berry Smash. Had a great time chatting with folks and enjoying the game.

    Pick Three Kooky Combo: Chicken Tenders, Fried Green Tomatoes, Cheese Bites. Old Bay Hot Honey Sauce

    My wife and I were searching for a good Sports Bar to watch an NCAA March Madness game. We were staying at the Peabody Hotel in Downtown Memphis and discovered this venue was right across the street. We checked it out ahead of time, lots of TV's. Decent menu of options, and everyone seemed friendly. Upon return we found a couple seats at the bar, which we prefer, where we could watch our game. Mike the bartender was awesome, very friendly, made us feel at home. We ordered the Appetizer plater which was really good. The Old Bay Hot Honey Dip for the Chicken Tenders was a favorite. The food coming out for the people around us all looked good. We had a great time, and would definitely go back.

    Breaded cod, french fries, lemon and tartar sauce

    As I was leaving work, I had a craving for fish and chips. There are a couple of places that serve fish and chips but this right here is my go to. You get two huge pieces of breaded cod, golden invaded perfection and the fries. Take up half the plate and they're not just crispy but they're flavorful they give you half half of a lemon instead of a small piece my only grape is more tartar sauce. Other than that this gets a 10 out of 10. Even on my off day, I would make the drive just for this!!

    April was amazing at the bar ... love this bar area... huge TVs great place to watch some games and drink some bloodys

    Canada burger and cider.

    Best food I had while in Memphis! I cannot recommend this place enough. I came in between the lunch and the dinner rush around 2 PM. I got a 34 ounce cider and the Canadian burger. Staff was friendly. The food came out super quick and it was DELICIOUS. They also have bar seating.

    I was impressed from the time I first stepped through the door . I was greeted by a extremely enthusiastic hostess who was happy to see me. I ordered to go; so the hostess asked me to proceed to the bar. I ordered a chef salad, one pound of wings, cheese burger combo. Childs chicken meal and bread pudding. The food was served hot and seasoned. You definitely get your money's worth with the large portions served. The overall feel of the restaurant is very welcoming and relaxing. The only thing is you may have to park in a nearby garage because it's difficult to find free parking or parking on the street. Also add Premium Parking app on your phone.

    This is such a fun place and I'm really glad I came and tried the challenge. I will be back to do it again just with the burger a little less done. It was a bit overcooked making it harder to chew. Next time medium or medium rare. My wife lived the salmon and the boys liked their chicken and burger as well. The poutine was my personal favorite as I love it when done right. The service was phenomenal and very friendly. I loved our server and had a great time. The ambiance is very fitting and made a Minnesotan feel very at home considering we're often confused as Canadian anyway ahh? :)

    Prime Rib Stroganoff

    Had the Prime Rib Stroganoff- was PERFECTION on a plate! DELICIOUS!!! Food was hot fresh and quick. Would go back again and again.

    Poutine Burger
    Julia B.

    Canadian spot- had been looking for a place with poutine! This place was walking distance from other great eat spots, lighting was dark but a big open space. Soda menu had ginger ale, surprisingly! We went for things with gravy and cheese curds. Poutine fries were loaded with Kraft Mac n Cheese, cheese curds, gravy... he got the poutine burger. Food was good but looked way better than the flavor unfortunately. The flavor was good, but didn't have anything that stuck out seasoning wise. It would be good for a picky eater. When we asked for our check we had an issue with an extra item added on our tab, but had it settled before we left.

    Memphis' Best Burger

    Epically good food!! We're always a fan of Canadian food, but most restaurants are kitschy, without having really good food. The Kooky Canuck is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food, wonderful service, and great vibes! Friday night was full, but we were able to be seated right away! We started with a Log House salad with house made Honey Mustard. It was so fresh, with crisp mixed greens, egg, a generous amount of shredded cheese, diced tomato and red onion! The dressing was so flavorful! Then we each ordered a burger - the Canadian and the Memphis Best! Both were incredible!! Well seasoned patties, delightful toppings, substantial but soft bun...and the fries were perfectly cooked and salted! It should have been too much food - especially accompanied by a 34oz Loonie Logger on tap and a sweet tea - but we managed to finish it all! It was the highlight of our trip to Memphis and I will be dreaming about it until we can return!

    I'm not going here again. I'm in Memphis for a long conference and I thought I found a really good place but no. About the food, it is amazing. Good portion, good flavor, and good price. The reason for me not going back is the waitress. Everything was going well until I showed her a Yelp discount coupon. She said she needed to verify with the manager, which I think is reasonable, but after that moment, her attitude changed completely. At the moment of checking out, she dismissed the coupon because she did not mention it to the manager. I pointed out, and she was definitely upset. The manager came and nicely gave me the discount. However, when I saw the receipt, the waitress gave herself over 25% of tip. After that, she did not appear again. It's really unfortunate because the food was good, but service is something really important for me.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

My friend owns a larger catering/events establishment in Georgia and was excited about the menu at the establishment. We walked in (on a whim) and asked if tables were available (clearly we saw some on the patio and inside once we entered). The greeting from the hostess was - let's just say less than inviting. . It was around 7:40p and she said "well since you don't have a reservation, the soonest I can get you in is 8p" ...no problem we will walk around until then. My initial thought, screw this reservation - if the hostess has this type of demeanor, what could we expect in terms of service? As my friend was still excited about the menu and to taste some of the pairings, we decided to wait. At 7:59 (like clockwork), the notice of our table being ready was sent. The hostess seated us and again, I wasn't optimistic of what would occur during the visit. The server that greeted us was GREAT!!! We ordered SEVERAL appetizers and drinks and all were AMAZING - (the grilled avocado with the shrimp was worth the trip alone). For dinner we ordered Peking Duck and Ribeye Steak Salads (and more drinks). Both were amazing. And while the desserts looked divine, there was absolutely no room. We were impressed with the old Beauty Shop decor - it really was a conversation piece. It's small and quaint and we had a lovely chat with the patrons alongside us. The food and service EXCELLENT! I'm glad that I didn't follow my first inclination to leave (because of the hostess and the "curt" demeanor). On a high note, I did notice the hostess being very gracious to the others that she encountered. Maybe it was my cologne - not everyone likes to smell YSL ‍.

Many ordered the skate with brown butter which was world class. After dinner, 1 client remained due to difficulty getting Uber. He ordered a drink and was told the register was closed. I quietly asked the owner if he could offer the drink on the house, and he declined. Had he been more accommodating, ACRE would have been at the top of the list for a substantial number of subsequent business dinners. My fiancé and I decided we would give Acre another try last week. We ordered the striped bass entree for $49. When the dish arrived there was what could only be described as two scraps of fish: One piece was less than a half inch thick and about 4 inches long, and after some searching, we found a second piece about half that size. I have never seen a striped bass small enough to yield a filet that thin. We asked the server to ask the kitchen if that was intentional or if there was a mistake. We were hopeful that a "do over" would result in the entrée described on the menu. Unfortunately, the server was clearly not in our court. Her attitude was passive /aggressive or at best indifferent. Despite specifically asking what the chef had to say, we received no visit or even feedback from the kitchen. What could have been handled with a laugh and a new or different entrée selection, quickly became uncomfortable. Hindsight is 20/20, but we should have considered our first bad experience a clear message that the culture at Acre is not a fit for us. We will not be back.
