Came for a late lunch on Sat. They have picnic tables outside which are great with warmer weather. They have a few tables inside. Order at the counter: Standard burger with fries, Curry & Goat cheese poutine, Classic Canuck pizza. Burger was good, juicy, soft bun, with standard toppings. Fries are good, fresh cut and well done. The poutine was amazing. Curry & Goat cheese really hits hard! This would be even better with chicken (next time). The pizza was amazing. The dough and sauce are made from scratch and it shows! Lots of cheese, the pull was crazy. This will be our new regular spot when in the St. Jacob's Market area! read more

Eclectic place serving up decent food. Passing through the area and needed food fast. They weren't busy and food came out relatively quickly. Lots of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and poutines to choose from. The one drawback to the place was it smelled like a deep fryer, so if you don't want to smell like fried food, go somewhere else. My coworker and I got it a chicken sandwich and burger both with fries. My chicken sandwich was very good, with a light fresh bun and fresh toppings. My coworkers burger was prepared correctly and very flavorful. Fries were fries. read more

Good food. Quaint little place that has decent variety and value. Worth a revisit when I'm back in town.

Conveniently located at then side of the Market Road Antiques, Crazy Canuck offers an assortment of burger, pizza and poutine dishes to go. When we were there early August, there was no indoor dine in options but plenty of picnic tables or booths under the overhang. A minor annoyance was the amount of flies that patrol the area, so we got our food to go instead of fighting the black swarm at every bite. We ordered the Everyday Special, which is the Halifax Donair pizza and Garlic Fingers for $20. The pizza was a deep dish pizza with a roasted garlic puree base, pepperoni, and donair meat topped with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Great crust and bottom on the pizza! Loved the extra touch of raw onions to give a bright note to an otherwise heavy slice. The garlic fingers was basically another deep dish pizza but with a generous portion of cheese on top and slices into strips. Both came with a side of garlic donair sauce which was more sweet than garlicy, but it worked well as a crust dip. Next time I will probably go for something with more variety, as two pizzas are a little much for me. read more

This place is not to be overlooked! The fries were crispy, the options were traditional and interesting, the flavors were outstanding and the price is RIGHT! The portions here are HUGE so come ready to share. We ordered two...and it was two much. We definitely recommend the Döner poutine--the garlic sauce takes this classic to new levels! read more

Casual atmosphere. Quick counter service. No complaints on the food The big potions will have you bringing some food home.

This was our first time trying Canuck ribs. While it wasn't my favorite style, the meat was incredible quality! These ribs were one of the best quality I've had across the US and Canada. I would definitely suggest trying them. read more

Not really what we were expecting. Order at a window and only a few tables inside. The girl taking orders wasn't very friendly and the food was just ok. Worst part about the experience were the flies. We couldn't seem to get them to leave us alone the entire time we were there. read more

I had supper this evening at The Crazy Canuck (on Weber Street N). It's at the end of a big antique market. Some of the tables have themes ... mine was the Tragic Hip. I ordered the pasta special ... baked tortellini. I love baked pasta! This was a hearty meal and I couldn't finish the garlic baguette. It was cheesy and the sausage was a bit spicy. I'd get this again. Courtney was the server. She was very friendly and chatty. read more

Might be a good place for locals but as tourists looking for some good poutine i woild AVOID at all costs. It was literal soup, waayyy too much gravy. The hot dog was awful as well. Cool name, cool place, terrible food. read more

What a fantastic place for social distancing eats. The food is fresh, you don't have to order too far ahead, the price is right with large portions, and best of all, the burgers and poutine have been delicious. I had the Best Burger in Town last time I got takeout which is misnamed... because today's Crazy Canuck Burger should hold that title. The kids loved their burgers too. Standard poutine was a hit. read more

I did some research before heading over to Waterloo for a brief weekend stay. This place was across from my hotel and had rave reviews. I headed over there for dinner. Traffic heading westbound to Waterloo on a Saturday afternoon was horrendous. I had worked up and appetite, and headed here upon my arrival. I ordered the baked hot dog with fries. It came with dipping sauce. So good! It was filling, cheesy, tasty, and perfect. You can either dine inside the restaurant, which is attached to the antique mall, or you can sit outside at wooden tables with benches. I went with the former, which has retro albums (records, some of which I own!) as part of the decor. I'd come back here for a hot dog and sample more more food goodness. (211) read more

(Delivery order) Burger & poutine were solid. Generous serving of curds in the poutine, enough to last until the last bite of fries.

Slooow "Fast" Food. Based on the timestamp on my receipt, a Standard Burger + upgraded to Classic Poutine took 30mins to arrive after ordering! To me, that's waaay too long of a wait for something so simple. Burger patty itself was pretty small. It's supposed to be 6oz, but it was closer to a 4-5oz. Bun was bigger than patty. As per the other reviewers, based on the portion, prices are on the high-side. Standard Burger was $12 + change, it included either fries/soup/salad. To upgrade to Classic Poutine, it was +$4 and there was barely any cheese curds. Somewhat of a tourist trap as there is no food available on the Antique side of St. Jacob's Market. And yes, you will smell like oil when you leave. :) read more

Very disappointing. Food was not good at all. We ordered the chicken club with fries and a burger with fries - both were not tasty (thrown into a box in a sloppy mess). It was pricey too. Should have opted for the A&W nearby. read more

I guess I was hoping for too much when I hurried over on an empty stomach today. I ordered the baked hotdog and to my surprise it was actually just "meh". It was pretty expensive for the quality and size. From the pictures the hot dog looked huge and long. However what I received was a dry hotdog on an even drier bun. The hot dog when eaten with condiments because very acidic and too sour to be enjoyed. To sum it up... I didn't enjoy my lunch today. Felt like I wasted my stomach space. read more

The braised beef poutine was delicious and large enough to split between two people for lunch. Service was awesome and everyone there clearly really cares about the restaurant, coming by to share tidbits about the history and just to have a friendly chat. The only thing is that the place is kind of perpetually smoky so you'll definitely walk out smelling like smoke all day read more

If you're in the St. Jacob's Market area, I cannot in good faith reccomend this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went there, both got a poutine and it was not cooked. Both of us found that thicker fries were raw. I also had a burger and I thought it was okay, at least it was cooked. I felt like I had to notify someone about the situation, and the staff member rudely assured me that it was cooked. When I tried to explain the raw, hard fries, they told me they were just crispy, like I didn't know the difference. I wasn't asking for my money back or to re-cook the meal. I just wanted to make sure the next person served did not experience what I did. read more

My boyfriend treated me to a tasty lunch there today. He got the foot long hot dog and Caesar salad and I got the pulled pork sandwich with a poutine. I was very pleased! Was nice to eat out at a picnic table on their patio. read more

The Crazy Canuck - Delicious lunch: foot long hot dog, Caesar salad, pulled pork sandwich and a poutine. - Barbeque Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

My friend and I shared the burger with a pulled pork poutine upgrade and it was enough to fill two people! Everything was perfectly cooked but the wait was a bit long, however sitting outside on the patio made up for it. At the end of the night the owner was generous enough to provide everyone with free dessert, a deep fried pastry with homemade ham and ice cream. Overall I look forward to returning if I am every in the mood of a heavy and satisfying meal! read more

The Crazy Canuck - Burger with poutine upgrade - Barbeque Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

We were out at this end of Waterloo, which is the Mennonite and Amish mall area, and we were hungry, so we decided to stop here for some lunch. It's an order at the counter and sit down sort of place. They've got local beer on tap, which is pretty awesome, and a nice variety of BBQ dishes as well as a whole poutine menu. Since we were just here for lunch, we opted for poutine. I went with the smoked meat poutine, and Lee went with a classic. The decor in here is really great. They're attached to an antique mall, and you can tell they did a little plundering for their decor. Every table has a theme of a different band, with their LPs underneath the glass. We opted for the Queen table, and dined with a nice view of A Night at the Opera and Flash Gordon. The walls are lined with albums as well, and Lee enjoyed educating me on some of the names of Canadian prog rock bands I'd never heard of. My poutine came out with a nice pile of fries, curds, gravy and pulled pork ... plus some ribs on the side. That's a new one for me! The ribs were nice and meaty with a nice smoke. The pulled pork is great as well. Lee really enjoyed his poutine as well. If you're here in the area, or anywhere in Waterloo for that matter, this place is a must visit. Two thumbs way up from us! read more

I've been going here since they first opened. Started off great and it has evolved into something even better. Poutine, Pizza, Smoked Pork on a bun, you name it. Ive always left happier than when I came in :) read more

I might have a bias opinion about this place but my favorite animal is a beaver... The Crazy Canuck burger is worth the drive to Waterloo. Walking into Retro nostalgic dining. Tables and walls covered in Vinyl Albums. 2 beef patties with a deep fried mushrooms, deep fried onions that melt in your mouth. Crazy cheese and bacon to die for...Fries are so good. I'll say it again..... Patty to bun ratio perfect. Always remember when you pick up a burger, you pick it up only once.... this was a 3 minute consumption burger. Had a Crazy Canuck Ale to wash it down. This by far must be the best in the west so far. My other burger eating companion agreed. Come out and see what everyone in Waterloo is talking about. read more

I don't know where to start... I've heard about the Crazy Canuck before so I was kind of excited. We got there in mid afternoon, reduced staff so there was one employee there, and we had great service.... there was a pile of dirty dishes on table(s) yes not just one I am talking about 5 or 6. Very friendly service 5 stars, gave us a menu and told us to come and order at the counter to order...fine. As I am standing there to make a selection for a drinks my feet are sliding on the floor ...... OK. We went back to our table and my wife asked me what are you getting .. my answer was THE DOOR. Since we were the only table she thought that it would be embarrassing to just walk out. So we ended up sharing the classic poutine and the Montreal smoke meat pizza, I am from Quebec and I can tell you it was the closest I got to a REAL poutine...(beside the freshness of the curds which is understandable here). and the pizza was to die for, very cheesy and authentic smoke meat. I would go back give it second try read more

I would only come here for the curry goat cheese poutine. I love that poutine, curry and goat cheese mix very well with the french fries. Their normal poutine uses gravy that is saltier than I'd expect. It's a decent poutine and will satisfy your poutine cravings. I'm not so hot on the baked hot dog. I saw many pictures of it online so I had to try it and it's cheesy and has some other toppings underneath the sausage, but in the end it didn't leave much of an impression on me. I'll try some of their other crazier dishes next time... I'm eyeing the Tex Mex Pizza. read more

Tucked away in a pretty inconspicuous spot lies a gem. Huge portions, mouth watering mains, delicious sides all for a relatively affordable price. We were also treated to their very famous 'funnel cake poutine' which was beyond description. So, so good. We'll be back and we're bringing friends. Thanks Shawn, Ky and Chris for the very best dining experience. Cheers! read more

I'm local and really really wanted to like the place but I've had several not great experiences now. Overall the food is just kind of bland or very pedestrian, as harsh as it sounds they really need some new recipes.. also the inside of the place is kinda dirty ... I'm guessing "dine in" is possibly closed now but pre Covid the place needed a good cleaning for sure putting it kindly. Renovation with new seating and walls would be best. read more

Great dive bar, set well off the road. I ordered smoked meat poutine and the serving dwarfed my plate. I definitely left satisfied. The place was filled with a biker gang - all of whom were 50+ years old and the walls are filled with Tragically Hip records and Captain Canuck comics. read more

Full disclosure, my very good friend's cousin's fiance owns this place. For a small place, they have a super varied and interesting choice of food. A few varieties of poutine, what my friend describes as the best vegetarian pizza ever (and this girl loves meat!), burgers and also some vegan and healthy options. For a casual lunch, it's got everything. The prices are great, as well. I got the pulled pork poutine (sans cheese) which has 2 pork ribs, pullled pork and fries slathered in bbq sauce. I thought the bbq sauce was a bit much (very tangy) but the pulled pork was solid and the ribs were pretty good, though the bones were really soft. Maybe overcooked? I ate as much as I could.. about 2/3 before I had to give up. The place itself is pretty neat and casual. We sat at a table with 80s era Michael Jackson albums under the glass. I would definitely go back. The quinoia vegan burger looks fascinating, but I'll likely just lose it and eat the most unhealthy thing on the menu. read more

I've been here a couple of times now, and it never disappoints. The retro vibe, the friendly service, I love it all. But the food is really what keeps you coming back -- Canadian comfort food at its finest. On this occasion I had the Tuscan pizza -- loaded with buffalo chicken, kale, and a couple of varieties of cheese, yum! Perfectly cooked and a delicious way to end an adventure at the nearby farmer's market! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food as well! Not just the usual fare. Interesting Specials everyday.

Loved this little gem. Great service & great food. Wonderful menu selection. I'm not a fan of poutine but theirs was delicious. They smoke their own meat, make homemade gravy & the French fries are cut fresh daily. The beer selection was small but I had a great Amber Ale from Railway Brewing. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

First time to try Pootine and The Crazy Canuck exceeded my wildest hopes. Just trust the dude behind the counter and he will take care of you. I had Smoked Meat. Oh, the curds :) The atmosphere is also very Canadian cool. Don't expect anything fancy and don't trust your GPS, but this place is awesome. Oh, and don't miss the Snow Shoe for desert. It's a deconstructed jelly donut with ice cream on top. read more

If you love food from food trucks, this is the place to go. Can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner. It has great food that comes in really big portions for a reasonable price. When I was there I had their daily special which was huge turkey wings, poutine and coleslaw for only $13. We also ordered poutine with smoked meat and it came in this huge plate covered with fries and ribs. Their burgers are also to die for. So worth. This place is really small and it gets really busy on Saturdays (farmers market day). But it was really quiet when we were there on a Wednesday evening. You can also just order to take out. If you're craving food truck poutine or burgers in the winter, you can get your fix right here. read more

I was in Waterloo for work and quickly checked Yelp to see what was near me. Man was I ever glad I did. After I finished my work for the day I went to the Crazy Canuck for a late lunch.
