Needed a sports team friendly place that could accommodate a big party of hungry teens. Moose Winooskis did NOT disappoint! Our server was prepared for us and immediately told us names of 2 other servers for our party. She already had a plan to split the bill by Jersey numbers too! They did not automatically charge a service fee which is reflective that they are confident in their great service! Food? Many options for your typical palates, such as burgers and sandwiches...but they also offer salad bowls, nice vegetarian options and real meals (like schnitzel and meatloaf!) We were so pleased with this choice! Will come again! read more

Service was excellent, the food left a lot to be desired. Undercooked meat on a cold burger. read more

The food was amazing, had a burger and fries and boy oh boy it was absolutely amazing. Apparently it is always busy and we came on a Thursday and it was not bad at all. The Decoration was 10 out of 10 there is a giant moose outside, a cabin vibe all the way. And if you get the waitress Elitza, she will serve you amazingly and if you have a kid, come on his birthday you get to spin a wheel of items. 5 Stars read more

Was good food and a great environment. Service was on par and is an excellent place to take kids on their birthday to spin the wheel. Will be back again if in the area. read more

It's been a while since I last ate here but all in all it wasn't too shabby. I think it has a very distinct atmosphere which will appeal to select people comfortable in that environment but the general vibe is quite comfy. Food met expectations and service was quite well. read more

We were a group of 4 at Moose Winooski's last night. I hadn't been back since pre-Covid. The other two in our group had been there since and enjoyed the patio and take out during Covid. The ambiance was great as it has always been. Our server was wonderful and very efficient. 3 of us had Moose Winooski's famous wings. They were delicious and we all thoroughly enjoyed them. My concerns are with food size. I ordered a 5 oz glass of wine. It really only filled the bottom of the wine glass and certainly did not appear to be 5 oz. Maybe it was, but a smaller wine glass would have been more appropriate. We all found the wings to be much smaller in size from the large wings we always had in the past. One person at our table had been since Covid and did not experience this size difference of the chicken wings. One of the wings was so small we thought it was thrown in as an extra, but sadly that was not the case. We all understand rising costs, but raising the price AND obtaining smaller wings doesn't seem fair. Please bring back the larger wings or increase the number of wings on the menu selection without further price increases. Thank you read more

(Kitchener - Sportsworld location) My disappointment I think is more to this restaurant understanding food allergies. Before coming I saw on the website there was a Gluten Free menu which when I got there they said it is "Gluten Friendly" their distinction: "Gluten Free" but may (or in this case most likely) have come into contact with foods that do contain gluten such as not being prepared in a separate area or using the same fryer as foods that contain gluten. On their "Gluten Friendly Menu" it just says "Note that we do still have flour and other allergens on premise. Speak with one of our managers if you have allergy concerns...." I read it as it was possible for cross contamination (which could happen anywhere) but at this restaurant after speaking with staff (I think is was a manager) it is 100% that gluten free foods will be contaminated on that menu and therefore someone with Celiac Disease can't eat there period! My daughter who's 11 was in tears cause there was really nothing she could eat there. We left without ordering. read more

Visited three times within the last 12 months. Quality of food ( chicken wings) is one of the worst in the industry. Old frozen dried up wings served all three times. Over all my ratings of this bar is 2 STARS read more

Meatloaf is super tasty. I order it now and then. Nice family place. Waitresses are always nice and friendly. read more

I've been to Moose Winooski's a few times and it's always great!!! I sat in the bar area for the first time and it was a lot of fun. There are barrels of peanuts you can grab fun and everyone just kind of throws the shells on the ground. I had the muskoka quinoa salad without cheese (no dairy for me) and asked to add buffalo fingers to it. The server kindly let me know that the chicken finger batter had dairy in it so I opted for grilled chicken tossed in hot sauce instead. Everything was very yummy! read more

I have good memories of this restaurant since my University days (that's mid 90's people and yes, I'm old). At the time, this restaurant's patio (especially in the summer) used to be the place to be. Drinks, food and meeting with friends to have a good time. I loved how the patio was laid out. We used to always get the typical bar food like burgers, pizza, nachos and wings. My favorite was/is the wings! Fast forward to 2018 and the back patio is no longer there along with the Mini Golf place. They did a huge renovation a while ago and the place inside is divided into a sit down restaurant and a bar sections. The bar is littered with lots of TV screens to catch and watch the latest games. Even, in the restaurant section, there are a few TV screens in the back so you'll never miss any of the sports action. The patio is now located in the front/side front of the restaurant. As another reviewer stated, this place does look even more like an old Ski/Hunting lodge after the renovation as you enter from the front. My parents and sister still live in the KW area and we often come to this place to eat out. It's a popular choice for the whole family. This place still brings people in as depending of the time of the day, you could wait awhile to get a table. I usually sit on the restaurant section when I'm with my family and sit in the bar section while with friends. The menu has evolved and they have a lot of different options but I always stick to my original choice, the wings. I have yet to find a better place in the GTA that makes their wings as good or as big as Moose and that includes Morty's in the KW area. I usually either gets them plain with sauce at the side or get the Medium version. Some of their selection like the Sea Salt and Black Pepper are too salty so my suggestion will be to just order them plain and ask for the sauce at the side. The Nachos are pretty good too but sometimes, it can be a bit of a hit and miss. We usually add the ground beef and avocado. Just a heads up, as they don't give you much avocado and they charge you extra. The burgers and pizza are good and you won't be disappointed. So why the 3 stars only? It comes down to price. Their food prices are not cheap. It will be an expensive outing no matter what you order. Having said that, the service are usually very good and portions are big. Also make sure to come when somebody is celebrating a birthday, so the birthday person can wear a moose hat and spin a wheel to get a pie in the face. Part of the experience... Also this place is loud especially in the bar section. It might be a little bit of a sensory overload with all of the screens, games and noise. Just a warning. Recommended to visit at least once for the experience. #6 of 2018 read more

Wow! What a great meal. Completely shocked to come onto Yelp and see this restaurant only rated 3 stars. 5 stars by far!! Our server was Michelle T. who was incredibly nice and welcoming. We will most definitely be coming back here and highly recommend to all looking for pub style food. Lunch was absolutely delicious! I had caesar salad and then the spinach and artichoke dip. The salad wasn't heavy with dressing and the dip had nachos and baked pitas. There was enough dip that I packed the rest up to go. My partner had the steak sandwich and thought it was great! It came with vegetables, fries, AND onion rings! read more

Horrible staff- bad tasting food. Disappointment tbh. Whatever you do don't order the guacamole it is stored in a bag in the freezer!

13 minutes for a draft beer and a bellinis. See how the burgers goes. Places the order for the burgers at 2:34pm. Now we wait The burgers showed up cold at 3:03 Save you money and go to Appleby read more

On first arrival it was jammed. People waiting outside. It was a Friday night and my family arrived around 8:30pm. The hostess was very friendly and so was the waitress. After only a 15 min wait we were able to be seated. They have car seat holders. It was so loud I could barely hear my husband across the table or the waitress but it didn't really bother me because she was so attentive and memorized our order. The food was delicious. Ribs were what they claimed they are known for and I would have to agree. The wings were delicious too. We had tequila lime and honey garlic. Overall a great experience. read more

Moose Winooski's - Moose winooski's - Canadian (New) Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

A group of about 20 of us visited here after our afternoon sporting. I must say that aside from the decor (Montana's-much?) there was nothing else impressive about it. We had a designed prix-fixe, the soup from which ran out and we were all left with cesar's salad. Not bad, but not the most wowing salad in the world. I chose the Chicken tetrazini, which screams "bland" like a 7th degree alarm. The schnitzel with gravy tastes like what you can expect from a frozen-dinner "Hungry-man" package; except for the missing mashed potatoes and corn to complete the frozen tv dinner set. The highlight, and I'm not even sure if this is highlight because I am a dessert fan or simply because it was the only good part of dinner - the raspberry cheesecake is a win. Very quick service. Overall, 3/10. read more

I rarely leave reviews but this restaurant was fantastic. Party of 6 all with different burgers etc. food was spectacular quality and portion size was great. Service was fantastic. I wish this restaurant was closer to me. read more

It's a sports bar like other sports bars. It's no Real Sports bar but they sure have enough screens. Around 50 in the bar area alone! Asked what was on tap and I got an answer, "there are 22 on tap...do you have a particular one?" Well how about "if I knew what I want, I would not have asked what's on tap?" Is what I said in my mind! I usually like local beers and micro brews and in the end, chose an Amsterdam Brewery one of some sort. Looked at the menu and with such a bad feeling from lunch - see Fork and Cork Grill review - I decided to forgo food at the Moose. May make Moose Droppings on the long drive back home! Ew! My host chose this site for my last meeting in the KWC area because it was close to the hotel he was staying. In the end, we all just drank a couple of beers and left. He walked to the hotel, I walked to my car. I think I was glowing from being exposed to so many TV's. All in all, nothing special. Won't go out of my way to go there again, but if I need a place to have a drink over a meeting, it would fit the bill. read more

Moose Winooski's - a child's drawing of a house - Canadian (New) Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

We just ordered 14 wings at Moosewinoskis and the experience was a hit and miss. Usually the wings here are of a large size and well done. Tonight they were a little off the mark. Usually we wouldn't say anything but we really felt that the experience tonight was poor when it came to the delivery of our food, so we mentioned it to our waitress and the manager came out and apologized for the experience and they offered us another set of wings for the road. We accepted and felt that the situation was handled in a fair manor. I've now changed this review from a 4 star to a 5 star. Thanks for being receptive to our experience. read more

Moose Winooski's - Naked wings at Moosewinoskis. - Canadian (New) Near Me - Kitchener, Ontario

came here for a lunch with a friend. I heard some pretty negative things about this place and I can say that I didn't really have anything other then a decent experience. the interior and exterior reminds me of a cottage that I went to back in my childhood, just with big screen TV's everywhere. was greeted almost instantly and sat down in the same fashion into the open area of the restaurant. I went with popcorn chicken, and Buffalo Chicken sandwich for my main with poutine on the side. I laughed extremely hard when the popcorn chicken hit the table, it was pieces of boneless chicken bites, much akin to KFC's popcorn chicken, but it actually got served with pieces of buttered popcorn all throughout the dish...I laughed very hard at this. the Buffalo Chicken sandwich was really good and the poutine was ok. the service was decent, the location is a nightmare to get in and out of the parking. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but I wouldn't be upset by it either, just wouldn't be my first choice. read more

By far my favorite place for date nights to be causal go have a drink and a burger. Always recommend read more

Large Patio, decent pub style food and drinks. Perfect after a game or when you just want to share a plate of nachos and drink beers. I've also seen a lot of families dine here and with sports world being so close, seems like an easy place to bring your kids. Be sure to get an 'everything but the kitchen sink' to share for dessert :) read more

I was here with a group of 6. Three of us ordered the pork schnitzel with fries. The waiter comes back and tells us there's only one portion left, so me and my brother had to order something else. The schnitzel is why we came here! So I ordered the party platter of wings, which was good. My other friend's water had a crack in the glass, so there was water leaking on to the brown paper tablecloth. Otherwise it was a good experience. It was my friend's birthday so the staff came and sang their song and they put an antler hat on him and give him free ice cream. After they sang he got a pie-in-the-face. read more

Moose Winooski's has been around forever, but I don't think I had ever ate there before while I lived in KW. I was back home visiting family and we made a visit. The space is cozy and inviting like a ski lodge. Or hunting lodge I suppose because the walls are covered in funny moose heads. If someone in your party is celebrating a birthday they can wear a moose head(helmet) and have their picture taken. And then they can spin this wheel to win a prize such as a free kids meal, or received a pie in the face. Sadly my sister whose birthday was coming up in a week or so did not want to partake. The food options are your typical pub fare, and most of it seemed pretty decent. My brother's 6.50 soup that claimed to be freshly made was SUPER tiny and tasted like canned soup, so that is the main reason I am giving it a 3 star instead of a 4 star. Also they forgot my grandma's chicken on her caesar salad though it was corrected. I myself had the fish chips. The piece of fish was big. The batter was thin. Though a little limp and greasy. The fries were good. A good spot for a family outing, or to bang buck some beers and snacks while watching a game. read more

If I wanted just a beer: 4/5. My server couldn't cut a deal to give me 2 chili dogs with a new price...when the offer was 1 chili dog and fries. What nimrods. I suffered through a greasy chicken burger made with the same fingers as my gfs basket. Worst pork schnitzel I ever saw. Worst veggie fajitas I ever saw. read more

Nothing to brag about went for $20 plate of nachos was ok , I find it very overpriced. The decor is cool . The staff is friendly and well trained as there is always a manager breathing on their shoulder. You should not have to pay an extra $2 for cheese( and the waitress will definitely offer it to you as soon as you order it )on a $20 burger ( regular with lettuce and a tomato ) with a handful of fries.... read more

I used to go to University in the KW area and I recall visiting Moose when I first moved up in 2004 and wasn't overly impressed. Fast forward to 2013 and I still go back to KW to visit a couple of friends who've stayed behind for work and after hearing about how amazing it now was since the renovation (and that it was playoffs and we wanted to watch the leaf game) our group ventured over. If you couldn't guess by the name this place has traditional Canadiana written all over it. Designed like the best cabin style cottage you've ever been to in the Muskoka or Kawartha area, it's basically every Canadian stereotype you could hope for in one central location! They have a really great patio complete with a huge center bar, plenty of televisions and even little fire pits throughout + bar area has over 30 televisions! Sadly, as it was the first time the Leafs had made the playoffs in 9 years the popular spots were packed and my group of 10 was relegated to a table in the main dining room. We ordered a variety of menu items, but most notably we shared an order of their apparently famous chicken wings. For my entree I asked for the ribs. The wings weren't the best I've ever had but not the worst either (3 star), the ribs were pretty good (again nothing ventured, nothing lost). Earned this place a 4th star was their birthday traditions which we bestowed upon one of our more conservative buddies whose birthday was a mere few days away at this point. After speaking to the host on a trip to the "bathroom" we orchestrated a stellar prank which involved a moose antler helmet, and a birthday song which then promptly ended with a whipped cream pie in the face via sneak attack! People from all over the restaurant had watched this happen and folks were chuckling about it even as we were leaving! Full points on decor, theme, layout and staff, Food could be a touch better in my opinion, however I would definitely visit this place when you're in the Kitchener area! read more

I wasn't sure what sort of beer/cider/mixed drink to get, so I asked for a drink menu. The bartender informed me, between sips of her own drink, that they don't have any drink menus due to the fact that they're getting new ones. I don't know why they wouldn't keep the old ones until the new ones were ready, but apparently Moose Winooski's, which is in large part a BAR, has been without a drink menu for some time. My husband got a couple beers on tap, and I got a vodka soda. My drink was fine, but my husband was feeling sick before we left, and I didn't feel great after having a few sips of his beer. I obviously can't say with certainty that it was due to the beer, but it did make me feel concerned. The service from our waiter was good, and there were no issues with the food, so I'm giving two stars for that. The weirdest thing about all of this was that two days after our visit, I got a social media connection request from a senior member of the staff. As I was the person who paid, I can only assume that this staff member took my name from the credit card receipts and then looked me up. I think this is inappropriate. read more

Very solid sports bar in Kitchener. A bunch of great beer on tap and a menu that reaches both the "bar crowd" and the dining set. I've been there approx. 6 times over the past 4 months while traveling on business and sat in the bar each time. Service was always on point, and the food was consistent. Easy enough location from the highways will work well for those heading from London to Toronto or for the local crowd. Countless tvs within view of every seat in the bar, trivia and a great atmosphere make "The Moose" a stopping point. I'd recommend the nachos with the cajun chicken, Montreal smoked meat sandwich, etc. read more

I saw many families with kids dining on a Friday evening. I liked the whole moose theme. You can choose to sit at tables or at booths. The tablecloth is a big, white paper, so you can play games or draw stuff on it as you wait for food. They offer sandwiches, burgers, steaks and more. We ordered a Mediterranean hamburger that came with salad; and a pulled pork sandwich stuff and fries with gravy and cheese. We shared food and we were full by the end of the meal. That day, they had this contest to give out prizes so we even filled that out. Overall, we had a good experience at this restaurant. read more

I've been to Moose's probably ten times now but never took the time to properly review it. For those that aren't familiar, this is a small chain of three restaurants owned by the same restaurant group that operates Beertown and Wildcraft. It is a Canadian themed restaurant, and a bit over-the-top at that, but the staff is friendly and the décor is pleasant and inviting in the dining room. The bar is a sea of televisions and a bit overwhelming. The menu is pretty large and takes a while to digest, and they serve you dishes full of peanuts while you make up your mind. The beer list is decent with a large number on tap. The bar itself is huge with a central bar surrounded by seating, and there are TV's everywhere with just about every type of sport represented. If you're a sports fan, then this is a good thing, and if you're a businessman looking to have a decent dinner with stuff to look at and keep you occupied, then this is your place. The food is all good, with all the local favorites represented. I've had sandwiches, salads, and entrees and haven't had a bad meal, but nothing really stuck out as special either. The last few times I've visited, it's been after working late and I've stuck with their big salads and a couple beers, at the bar. The bartenders are all quite nice and happy to serve you a meal there. The prices are pretty typical and while as an American I think the beer is outrageously priced, it seems to be the going rate around here. The food is reasonable and the portions are good sized, but not too large, so you don't come out stuffed. read more

Stopped in for Boxing Day dinner with my wife's family. We had a great server, who actually told us the Panko bacon appetizer was delicious but not a good value, and suggested we try the spinach dip instead. We absolutely loved it! Nice and garlicky. Also ordered a couple of Tankhouse Ale's from a micro brewery in Toronto. I already knew the beer was good, but what happened next was outstanding. The bartender stopped over with a pitcher that was a third full. He said they had just changed the keg, and had this beer that was going to be dumped down the drain, but since we were the only people drinking the Tankhouse, wanted to know if we'd like it. It was a small thing but very indicative of the kind of service we received tonight. The food was fantastic! I had a burger with back bacon (and since I live in the US and only get back bacon when we visit Canada, I was VERY happy) Everyone else loved their food, and my sister n law was particularly impressed that the server told us that the nacho she ordered was huge, and suggested we order the smaller portion. She was right...even the smaller one was too much food. If you're in Kitchener, check this place out. They have a menu that has a lot of different kinds of food, so everyone has a couple of choices no matter what kind of food they want. Reservations are accepted but only for groups of 10 or more. read more

Great atmosphere, only Reason not a 5 because they forgot my order when in a group. read more

At first we had a bit of a wait for our party of 9, but the staff made sure we had seating in the bar area, so we didn't have to wait any longer, our server (wish I had gotten her name) was fantastic, she made sure we had all our drinks and food on time, and to top it off, the food was fantastic, 100% going to visit again! read more

I've come here several times over the past few years. They recently (last year or so) renovated this location, so it all looks very nice. The service has always been "ON" each visit. Just tonight, I had asked the server to packup my dinner leftovers ... since I don't live here, I needed silverware, so I asked him for some plasticware. He ended up coming back with a little brown baggie with plastic silverware, napkins, and who knows what else. He was great. I should have given him more tip. I'm not sure waht the standard tipping rate is here in Ontario/Canad, Canada.... So, tonight, I ordered one of tehir seasonal specials, "Panko crusted lemon chicken" served on a bed of fettucine with a pesto cream sauce. The sauce was a little bland and the pasta slightly dry. However, I learned that some of the juices were toward the bottom. So, if you order this pasta ... I would mix it up so you can make sure any juices/cream/sauce, if any, is evenly spread. Otherwise, it'll be bland like mine was. The pasta was also dry. However, if I had mixed it up a little bit, the sauce would've helped with the dry pasta. The chicken itself was fine -- not the best, not bad! As for the panko crust ... there was barely any crust on the chicken (which, I guess, is healthy!) ... however, I was looking forward to the panko crusted chicken!!! How can I better describe this? When you look at the chicken, you can see the meat! (does that help? i.e. not enough breading) The garlic bread that came with the pasta was good. I could not finish my pasta. Maybe my stomach is shrinking, but I couldn't have much... I ate 1/2 of my pasta. I think we will try and come back for something different! My colleague ordered the cajun cod filet fish sandwich, which is a seasonal special. While I didn't try it, she ate about 95% of it (and she is a petite and small little thing who doesn't eat much at all). Hope this is helpful.... Oh yeah, this isn't a place to come for a sweet, quiet date. It's a fun place you can dine at with your friends, a fun family night, etc. It's quite loud inside, so it'll be tough to have a conversation.... Happy feasting and eating.....!!!!! read more
