Kooky Canuck

We visited for the first time in December 2023 and had an enjoyable experience. They were running a promotion for customers to return the following month with an unopened envelope that contained a guaranteed reward (discounted or free food), so we returned in late January. Our second experience will be our last. This restaurant seems understaffed since there was a 30-minute wait with many empty tables, and whoever was managing the kitchen that night was careless about the quality of their food. Our server was friendly and attentive, but our meals arrived at room temperature and the grilled chicken was overcooked and dry. We also ordered the mini-avalanche for dessert, and instead of the mountain of ice cream we had seen in photos, we received a conspicuous single column of scoops flanked by two large mounds – we had a good laugh and hope the kitchen staff did too, but this would not have been appropriate to serve to minors. To top it all off, our server informed us that our unopened envelope could not be redeemed on this order, as it was meant to be opened that night and then used for a future date (which would seem to invalidate the offer, since we would be returning with an opened envelope...). After opening the envelope in front of the server, we were disappointed to see that the discount would expire at the end of January. Why would we return less than a week after eating there, especially after having a sub-par experience? The promotion felt like a bait-and-switch. We love supporting local businesses in Memphis, but this will no longer be one of them.

I went to this location for the first time in several years. I got the poutine for my family as an appetizer, and it was quite a large portion. We really enjoyed it! That said, most of their entrées are $15+. I guess this is because of the portion size. I got an order of fish chips, my wife got the Santafe salad, and my son got the child's cheeseburger. My wife said the salad dressing didn't taste like anything, but my fish and chips were pretty good until I dsocivere that one of the very large fish filets was undercooked. You could see the batter oozing out, and the fish was dark grey. My son enjoyed his burger.

First time at this location and it wasn't bad but the waitress was terrible not sure if she was overwhelmed or what but i kept having to ask different waitress to bring out the simplest things such as a fork for my salad. She never brought straws out for the drink. i had to walk to the back and ask bartender, had to ask host for to go box. I walked in already knowing what i was ordering, so it's not like i was giving a hard time, but her service definitely made me not wanna come back so back to my downtown location. Also, she kept telling me i look familiar but was too young to know me was obviously obstructing her ability to do her job

Dude. If you haven't been. Go, at least once. Ask for Nate as your server. The giant cocktails are fantastic. Appetizers are enormous. I brought home most of my dinner. In fact, I'm writing this while enjoying reheated catfish, mac n cheese and green beans. ( Air Fryer for the win!) y'all, it's still delicious, except the green beans, those could go another 4-5 minutes in the pan and still be toothy and delicious. My only other complaint, the hunks of pickles, they're hard to eat and all the breading falls off. They would be fantastic as big ole spears of pickles. I'm Just saying. Nate, he read the room. He provided Fantastic service, and was highly entertaining. Edited to add: Yes, I believe the entire dessert menu was served across the entire party and was quite delicious Parking: Property management should come by at night and evaluate the non working light fixtures. Some areas can be considered dark and unsafe.

Had a wait but I knew we would for our party size. Food and staff amazing!!!

This my first time in over four years going back to Kooky Canuck. On February 22nd, 2024 me and a couple friends decided to go back here and try it out. I noticed how different the restaurant is from last time. Our waitress immediately seated us when we arrived. I decided to do the build my own burger with bacon, blue cheese, lettuce, onion and fried egg. Of course with fries. The chef at first forgot my fried egg on the burger, but once I got the fried eggs the burger was amazing. I love my creation work so well haha. The fries was pretty good maybe needed a little more seasoning. I recommend everyone try this place out!!

2021, I came to this place by recommendation of my family so I can spend my 13th birthday there. Apparently the food was good so we went. We ordered our food, and we waited. We didn’t expect much since we had just ordered. Nobody else was there, it was just my family and I. We would wait there for at least 2 hours before one singular steak would get brought out, but it was raw. The entire place smelt of weed and everyone that was there was convinced the employees were smoking weed and drinking beer in the back. We sat there for 3 hours with practically no food except for the birthday cake that was brought. I never ate any food, and I spent 3 hours hungry on my 13th birthday at a Canadian resturaunt that looks like it’s trying to be a bass pro shop. Don’t eat here, there are other options.

If you want a huge long island and some really good food this is the place.
