I was strolling through Beale street at first and somehow ended up walking into this place. The staff was friendly and the wait for the food was very short. The food portions were beyond what I thought it would be. Hubby ordered the Yonge Street Burger and I got the Halifax Donair. Both meals were incredibly delicious and I will definitely be back to try other menu options! We also got a peach cobbler and it was equally as good as the food! read more

Service was excellent, we got in with a group of 8 right away. I got the donair gyros, and they were great. Everyone loved their food.

I had an amazing time here at Kooky Canuck. Both the food and drinks were crazy good! The service was very welcoming and warm! The ambiance was very chill and fun! 5 stars! read more

Fun and different spot in Memphis for great food and drink! Glad we stopped in on our way through to Nashville and will definitely make another visit. The burger was amazing, and the fries were what my husband looks forward to in "heaven"! Great staff, experienced and bright. read more

A few steps away from the famous Beale Street is a fantastic off-the-beaten-path place you'd never know to look for. The Kooky Canuck wins my vote for great food, great atmosphere and fun workers. Our waitress Sarah made the best recommendations for food, beer, desserts and where to go for live music after. We had the Molson Canadian beer- delish, poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds) which our Canadian friend loved -so it gets the authenticity seal. I had the Maple Bread pudding and it was off the charts amazing. We added two scoops of vanilla ice cream to top off the bourbon maple glaze and shared amongst 4 people ( feeds two hungry, 4 minis) #musthave The walls have photos of former burger challenge winners, but I am willing to bet most of them compete in food challenges often. The burger for the challenge is huge. I can't even begin to describe it and the photos do not do it justice you have to see it in person. Crazy. No way an untrained stomach could finish it. Prove me wrong and send a photo! read more

So 4/5 is for the service. Went in tn around maybe 6 idr but our serve was Connie. She was absolutely the BEST thing about this place. If I do come back it's for her. She was incredibly kind and a professional about her job. Thank you Connie. You deserve the world! Moving on. I got the wings as an appetizers, two kids hamburgers and the 20 Oz ribeye as well as the catfish po boy. Wings: 20/10 Ribeye: 3/10 Kids food: 10/10 Cocktails: 10/10 Prices are fair. I got the 20 Oz ribeye mid rare. It came out medium medium well but it was well seasoned. The wings are the best downtown wings I've had thus far. The kids meal is great because my kids actually ate it. I got the maple old fashion and it was delicious!!!!!!! Service is very so much worth it. Def give them a try. read more

I came here only for the 34 oz drinks. They serve them in a big mug type glass. I had the strawberry mojito which was good but sweet, I couldn't finish it all honestly: I only came for the drinks so didn't try anything to eat. I also see they have a happy hour and the 34 oz drinks are $6 on Tuesdays. Also forgot to mention they have a liquor tax which is ridiculous boosted the bill up by $5z read more

Greeter was not friendly at all (not surprised after reading the (many) negative reviews regarding the staff. Fries (his) and sweet potato fries (mine) were not done. Burger was dry and tasteless. Requested some aoili (that was supposed to be in it) and Mackenzie got me some. She's friendly and was attentive. My husband and I were just disappointed with the food. Ambiance was fun but too loud for our liking. Sorry- other reviews hyped it up too much I guess. read more

Pregame grub - conveniently a 10 min walk from FedEx Forum. Came here before a Grizzlies came on a weeknight. The moment you walk in the door, you can see pictures of previous competitors who achieved their titles with Kooky Canuck's burger challenges. People all around the country have come here just for the challenge! I got the the Holy Smoke burger, because I love things hot. The burger brought the heat! Loved every bite of it and left STUFFED. The service was wonderful. The only thing I have a complaint about that would have made this a 5/5 is the fries. They tasted over cooked, and burnt. Would come again for the burgers. Not sure if I'd go with the fries. read more

Absolutely awful atmosphere- 80's music cranked up so loud conversation across the table was impossible. Loud talking rowdy table of customers dominating an entire section. Honestly the Canadian cabin decor just felt tired and dull. We only stopped in due to good reviews and seemingly safe location from the Peabody. Food was ok. Ordered fish and chips which came with 2 huge fried logs of batter with an itty- bitty portion of fish inside and a generous amount of fairly tasty fries. Honestly, go eat in the hotel and skip this place. Not worth the money. read more

I enjoyed the clean atmosphere and open layout of this restaurant. There are a lot of animals to look at which are fun for the kids. The food menu has a lot to choose from, but we ended up getting the maple salmon, cheesy corn, Mac n cheese and steamed veggies. The salmon was good, but the steamed veggies looked old and not fresh--some of the carrots were brown and shriveled, which is not something I would even serve my family at home. The veggies should have been thrown away. The cheesy corn was good but seems like the sauce was similar to Velveeta cheese. I was told if the cheesy corn isn't fresh it's not great, so it sounds like it is hit or miss. Overall I feel like the food was one priced for the quality and the menu has the same maple theme over and over ( I understand because the restaurant Is Canadian, but it just seemed like a lot) The server was very kind and went out of our way for us, she remembered us from last time and treated us nicely. I give our waitress 5 stars. The only thing I noticed of poor service is when we asked for a to-go bag we waited a long time while the bus boys stood around talking. I can see why other people have complained of service issues. read more

Sat at the bar. Friendly/quick service. Food was good overall. I asked for the hot wings, "extra crispy", unfortunately they came out a bit rubbery. Overall, I'd go back again. read more

What a great restaurant. I am a little upset at myself for over looking Kooky Canuck all these years I have been coming to MEM. Great location from most places in DT MEM. Actually it was my backup as I could not be certain my first choice was open. Another mistake on my part. As soon as I entered the door there were multiple folks greeting me. I only came in to order carry-out as I had to leave for work. Fresh clean restaurant. Beautiful bar. Friendly staff. I love in MI and felt like home actually with the kindness of the staff. I even believe the owner was assisting the servers &! bartender. That tells me a lot as I was in the food industry for years as a young lad going through school. I can't wait to come back so I can stay and chat with these folks and enjoy a meal of the many I had a hard time choosing from. read more

Orders: Memphis' Best Burger w/ Avo + Sunny Egg | Yonge Street Burger w/ Mushrooms + Bacon This spot was so fun!! Our service was great, lots of seating inside, fun animal-loving decor (there was a time in my life that I didn't see taxidermy in that way, but as a recovering vegetarian I have new eyes for ways people appreciate animals!!) and our burgers were off the HOOK!!! Really grateful they were open the day after Christmas as we were traveling through Memphis. Highly recommend!!! read more

We passed by this place a couple times looking for something to eat. Parked across the street and walked in. We were seated quickly. TVs, bar and lots of cool animal heads. Our server was very helpful. We had a few questions and she made honest recommendations. I say honest bc she didn't just say everything was delicious off the bat. We had the waffle Monte Cristo and Poutine smash burger. Poutine burger was a hit. The gravy paired with the fries and cheese in the burger was a great combination. The buns was a bit dense. I would recommend it though. Now the Monte Cristo was a combination of no-go. It was lacking texture, powdered sugar, meat and grease or something. It did not hit the spot. Half of it stayed on the plate. I didn't leave room for the Avalanche but I would come back just for it next time. read more

Kooky Canuck - Poutine smash burger and Waffle Monte Cristo - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I'm going to be straight up with you. If you are a foodie and expect a high quality of food, do not come here. My table had 3 dishes. The salmon, shaved prime rib, & catfish po'boy. The salmon was dry and over done, the prime rib tasted and looked like an Arby's roast beef, and the catfish was super mushy and tasted like a lake. There are plenty of other places to have a good dinner at in Memphis. The vibe here is decent, that's why I have it a second star. Just don't waste your time here with the food, maybe for some drink. read more

It was really good! I ordered to go, but my complaint with it is that they charge a fee if you want to take it. So I didn't really appreciate the extra 4$ only so I could walk it across the street. Everyone was very nice and helpful though, and it has a very pub/bar feel. I'd definitely go back, but will dine in or at the bar next time. Burgers were delicious and they had great fries! Highly recommend! read more

Had a delicious meal today and great service from Kristen. I have dietary restrictions (celiac) and must be gluten-free. Kristin was most helpful to make sure I would be okay with what I ordered. She confirmed a couple of things with the kitchen for me and went above and beyond in her service. I had grilled chicken and sides were collard greens and baked beans. We shared a wedge salad. Thanks for a great meal! read more

We really enjoyed this place! We were in Memphis for just a couple of days and wanted something different than BBQ. We tried the traditional poutine and loved it! My husband had the Sam's Satellite burger. I had the Gyros, and our 13 year old had chicken tenders and fries. Everyone was very happy with their choices. Service was ok, but they were really busy. read more

Amazing food... Amazing Service... Best Happy Hour in the city with the Best Bartender, Davif...

Maybe not the place if you're an animal lover, but definitely the place if you love good food and great service. Food was tasty and plentiful. I had the shaved prime rib sandwich and it was overflowing with prime rib. My daughter had the grilled chicken and there was not one, but two chicken breasts. Close to the Peabody and a good choice for either lunch or dinner. Highly recommend. read more

When we arrived at Kooky Canuck it definitely had a Canadian feel to it & the staff was very friendly and attentive. The decor on the wall was filled with pictures of past food-challenge takers, it was fun to see all the people to attempt them. We sat at the bar and the bartender took great care of us & quickly accommodated to our drink questions. The food was very good & it came out quickly. The poutine appetizer is definitely a good pick if you're wanting to go there for that. The Mac and Cheese w/ Hot Chicken Tenders was the best part of the whole experience in my opinion. The Mac & Cheese was creamy and the chicken was the perfect amount of spice to balance with the rest of the dish. The skillet is hot when it comes out so be careful lol. The BBQ Pork Sandwich was perfectly cooked and the beans on the sandwich were a good addition to the sandwich. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting in Memphis! read more

I've only been to Kooky Canuck one time and I feel like my instincts were good on that decision. My husband and I met some friends and we walked over to the restaurant. After a concert. We each ordered a drink and we each ordered an appetizer. It took no less than 10 minutes for an ambivalent server to come to our table, and another 20 at least to get our drinks. It was absolutely ridiculous. We didn't get straws or napkins or utensils or anything and had to ask for them while our food was getting cold. It's cute in there, the seating and the decorations are fun, but I don't think it makes up for the experience or lack thereof. I have no interest in returning here. read more

We tried Kooky Canucks on the strength of reviews I saw in google maps. It was walking distance from our hotel and it had been a long drive. The service was a little slow and our server was lukewarm at best. I can live with all that but for what we paid the food was not good. I got a poached pear salad that had no flavor in the pear which was small, the candied nuts were good but everything else was bland. My son got the maple glazed steak with fries and green beans. The steak was small for the price and the maple glaze completely overpowered the steak. He said the fries were good but the green beans were really chewy. We spent 40+ dollars with a decent tip for a mediocre dining experience. Maybe it was just a bad night but we were extremely disappointed with our dining choice. read more

It felt like this place was really understaffed. It took a few minutes for us to be greeted. The same girl that greeted us was the same one that cleaned off the table so she could seat us. She was the same girl that waited on us. She was handling all of the tables in the area where we were seated. It was a little over 50 minutes from the time we sat down til the time our food came. My salad was missing the egg, which was the only non standard salad ingredient that would have justified the $11 price tag. My husbands burger looked good. The patty was a generous size and there were plenty of fixins. read more

This is my first time to the South and we found Kooky Canuck by accident. What a super find. First our waitress Sybil was terrific. So nice and helpful. She took our order right away and constantly checked if we needed anything else. Refilled out drinks promptly and any other need was immediately met. Now the food. I had the Montreal Steamer Hot Dogs. They give you two to the order. DELICIOUS. Served with mustard and cabbage instead of sauerkraut. I liked it much better. They were perfectly steamed on soft rolls. My wife had the pear and walnut salad. Excellent. Especially the candied walnuts. I met the Manager Shawn and he was so nice. What a great find Kooky Canuck was for us. Will go back tomorrow for a final time before leaving Memphis. read more

Disappointing to say the least. Ordered take out after arriving late. Showed up about 25 minutes after ordering and still had to wait another 15 minutes at the bar for my food to be done. The "sirloin" was small strips of steak that were slightly burnt, chewy, and drizzled with an overpoweringly sweet sauce. The entire portion was laughable. Even after waiting, the steak was hot but the mashed potatoes were only lukewarm at best. If that's not bad enough a 18% mandatory tip is added to all takeout orders. Yikes. As a side note, their mobile app is also a huge disappointment. I was not able to complete an order on the app so I had to call in. Don't waste your time downloading. Maybe it was a bad night, maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I guess I'll never know. read more
