Attended the comedy show here and it looks like the management changed. There was approximately 20 tables and they only had two people serving. Extremely understaffed! Server took our order and when they brought our food out, they forgot my meal. By forgot, I mean, they didn't even cook it! My meal finally arrived as the rest of my table was done eating. Kitchen screwed that up (sounded like one person). The food was the same as it was before. Keep that up. Just have to fix the service.

Here currently and the food is delicious! Try their Halifax garlic fingers and smash burgers! You will not be disappointed! Also, the staff is very friendly and the environment offers both indoor dining and patio dining! I will be returning! Delicious!!!!!

It was our first time at the downtown Kitchener location although we’ve been to the St Jacobs locations a few times. You go into the Apollo Cinema entrance and turn right through a corridor. There is a fair amount of free parking on the surrounding streets but no parking lot. We got a hoagie and a burger which were alright but the specialty poutines are where it’s at. You can get it as a side or a full order which is good for 2-3 people. We got the DTK poutine which I thought would be too heavy but it was perfectly balanced. All the specialty poutines I’ve tried have been amazing. Apparently they do comedy nights as well so it’s definitely worth checking out.

There is no real storefront, you follow a sign into a building and through semi-retail corridors until you reach a glassed in area with a bunch of tables. The sign beside the door is actually pretty small. The counter makes it obvious that this place serves food but most of the view into the kitchen is blocked by stuff so we didn’t see people until after we had helped ourselves to a menu and read for a while. Tuesday evening at 6 and no one else was there. The wait for food was reasonable and all our special orders were accurate. The ribs (in the poutine) were especially good.

We have found a hidden gem!!! This is an amazing place to have great food. Kudos to the chef for his/her amazing skills. We just loved whatever we ate here. The only drawback is the location. The only parking available is street side parking on Ontario St between Duke & Weber. Further, the entrance from Duke St has handicapped accessible entrance but the entrance from Ontario St does not. These are the reasons for loosing a star. The men's washroom was very clean but does not have handicapped accessible entrance or space. The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice with awesome music. We wanted to enjoy the patio and we just loved it there. It's very well maintained with lots of cool stuff. Please check all the pics uploaded. However, if you are looking for sun, this is not where you would like to be. Their patio is surrounded by buildings and hence there is very less sunlight. But we are sure going to go there in the evening and would love to check out how it looks with all the lights. As for the food. We cannot appreciate enough how amazing the food was. We ordered all vegetarian items and they were all awesome. We highly recommend to try all of them - the portobello burger, quinoa burger, ratatouille, taziki poutine and veg pizza. Check out the pics below. Please be prepared for wait time on the food as the chef do take their time to get you the mouth watering dishes. Each of these items are good for one except for pizza but if you are super hungry (jst like we were 😜), we recommend to order one more item.

My initial review was a year ago but we visited tonight right before the comedy show at 7. We had a minor hiccup but it was addressed by the owner with kindness. Definitely a stand up guy and a 10/10 for the way it was handled. We still highly recommend this place the pulled pork and brisket is unreal. Initial review: Easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten in my life!! Absolutely worth the stop here we will be back to work our way through the menu!

Did ownership change??? This place use to be great, the service was atrocious and I cant comment on the gmfood because we didnt even receive it.

December 8, 2024

We were there the other night and they cut my boyfriend off after 2 1oz drinks over 1.5 hours and he didnt drink before we got there. I dont understand the rules because they have 3 oz cocktails on the menu???? So you can order 1 3 oz drink but you cant order 3 x 1 oz drinks over 1.5 hours???? The service was terrible I dont understand what happened to this place???

December 8, 2024

Servers were rude to my boyfriend and so incompetent. It wasnt just us either the whole place was in disbelief of how the staff were treating people. Trying to order food and drinks was nearly impossible

December 8, 2024

Wow... Just wow words can not express the low level of service, will never go back... Buyer beware!!!

December 1, 2024

We attended a comedy show there tonight .and the service was dreadful :(. We waited one hour and 20 mins for one drink and they forget to order our food. When we asked to order another drink, while we waited for the food reorder - they said we were cut off because we had too many drinks already . It was definitely a bizarre experience. I do not suggest/recommend going there unless the management changes.

How sad how the quality of this place has gone down, I went about 6 months ago and I thought it was very good.... But today it was a disaster, the burger was missing, no flavor and no sauce, and I ordered a pizza and they brought me burnt, the place has fallen into disrepair. less

Didnt take any pics, but the food was very good. I got the double smash burger special. Poutine was great. They have the best gravy in the game. The burger itself was great. I didnt love the bun, but thats a personal preference, I guess! For $15 bucks, I honestly dont think this place can be beat for a sit down burger and poutine. It was dinner on a Sunday and it was completely empty. No clue why its so quiet! More people should head to this location!

Its really sad to make this post. Weve gone to the Crazy Canuck since they opened. So excited to head there tonight! We picked them out of so many other dtk restaurants. It wasnt busy, there was only 1 server and the food was not cooked or prepared like it used to be. Such a shame and we wont be going back. Dan is an amazing server, but he cant run the show on his own! New owners took this place to its grave.

Ate here for the first time tonight. Kids got the burger/poutine/pop combo, and hubby and I split the donair poutine and apple pulled pork pizza. Poutine was outstanding. The pizza was not. A very blah hard dough with no flavor. The pizza was over broiled on the verge of burnt. The kids liked their burger/poutine. The fries had an excellent flavor, and cheese and toppings were very generous on the poutine. It was huge!. Service was good-- we were the only ones inside the restaurant. Definitely recommend poutine of some kind....it was the best.

Once the restaurant was located within the labyrinth, it was excellent. A hidden gem for sure. The food was excellent, and the service was 5 star. The atmosphere is what it is, an eclectic mix of wall hangings in an oddly shaped floorplan. Would recommend and will be back again.

May 22, 2024

Tried to go here to get some food and it was way too difficult to find the place... Like the GPS just brings you outside of this building that you cant enter... They need to work on figuring out how to make it easier to get to them or something... By the sounds of some the reviews their food isnt good anymore anyways.

Ive been ordering from both Crazy Canuck locations since their inception. Rarely, if ever, had an issue until the past year or so. Quality has gone severely downhill. Last order was this week. Delivered through Uber Eats. No issue with delivery. Major issues with food quality. I ordered my usual - the DTK Poutine, and a burger. The burger was acceptable. The DTK poutine was missing the onions, peppers, chicken, bacon, and sauce. I have included a pic of this order of DTK Poutine along with a pic of the same item from October 2022. Not only were ingredients missing, but the quality and care are former shadows. I contacted the restaurant to address the discrepancies, and Jag, the manager, provided a canned reply, which also addressed me by an incorrect name. Long story short, he offered a refund but didnt actually follow through with it in any way. Purely lip service. They did nothing to rectify an item that was missing the majority of its components. If youre charging a premium, offer a premium product. If you cant offer a premium product, at the very least, your product should match the description you provide. Again, Ive ordered from Crazy Canuck dozens of times in the past. However, the severe decline in quality of recent orders, along with poor customer service has led me to boycott the Crazy Canuck going forward. Buyer beware. This isnt the same restaurant it once was.

Order their food on skip the dishes. Called prior to ordering to ask a question and found staff very kind and very friendly. Ordered the following the Montreal smoke meat sandwich, the Halifax garlic fingers and the bold bbq brisket poutine. The Halifax garlic finger delicious a larger order and could easily feed many. The donair sauce is authentic however a little sweet for my preference. However the garlic finger are good with and without it. The Montreal meat sandwich amazing probably the best I have had in Kitchener. Lots of meat, thick bread and the overall flavour so good. The bold bbq brisket poutine - sigh :( this is where the meal went down hill for me the poutine was DRENCHED in bbq sauce and gravy making the fries a soggy mess. The smell and taste of the bbq sauce was off putting and overall sour. The fries had a lot seasoning which when combined with the bbq sauce made the smell worse and taste unpleasant. Personally would not recommend, the poutine :/

Went on a whim. The reviews looked good, actually really good. I ordered a basic burger, side poutine and pepsi. Atmosphere was cool and the Antique market attached was an added bonus. The staff here, the one young male here, was friendly and accommodating. The $$ sign rating should be higher. This is NOT a cheap sit down. The burger was over peppered, dry and difficult to finish. The poutine was watery for some reason. Not cool. The Pepsi was cold and refreshing. At $27, I will not be returning again. I took leftover poutine home. It got tossed the next day. The prices are ridiculously overzealous. The food mediocre at best. The reviews dont reflect my experience at all. It was okay.

Easy to miss as it s in a building that looks like a nondescript boring office building, but easiest way to find it is look for the big light up sign that says Cinema! Food was delicious and menu offers lots of unique and fun variations on classics like burgers, pizza, and poutines. I definitely want to go back and try more items. I had the curry and goat cheese poutine and it was delicious and the fries were SO CRISPY AND PERFECT! My friend had the crazy Canuck burger and loved it. We went on a Saturday night and apparently they have comedy nights then so almost of the restaurant seating was reserved, so you might not get sat right away if you re a walk in. But if you make a reservation or go on a non-comedy night you re golden.

I was there today for a food delivery order pickup, the person at the front(I guess her name was Anna), was very rude. Firstly, she just ignored me for a very long time. The order pickup time was 1:25 I was there for my order at the right time, she said that the order is gonna take atleast 15 more minutes, I said ohk no problem, then when I asked her again after 15 mins, she said its still gonna a really long time, I asked is that a big order, she said no we are busy, but there were like maybe 2 more customers. She also said if you wanna leave you can. This was really disrespectful to the delivery drivers, this shows her bad customer service.

Its a very cozy little place close to downtown Kitchener, with very friendly staff. They have a limited menu, only doing burgers, pizzas, and poutines for the most part. The poutine section is mouthwatering!! We got the Buffalo tuscan poutine and while the fries were absolute bomb, the spicy buffalo chicken is a little too salty. The dish still tastes amazing though. I recommend a side of their fresh house salad for a filling meal. We also got a side of curry sauce (couldn t decide between choices of poutine) , and that was so delicious!! Wish we had ordered the curry poutine instead, please try it if you go.

Definitely more of a dive spot for drinks, grub and live music. They have decent food specials with interesting pizza choices like taco or donair. Dont come here if youre looking for a healthy meal, but do if youre looking for something tasty.

As part of our bachorlette night we decided to get tickets to this weird little pizza basement and it was fantastic. Not only was the food absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere super intimate and cozy, but the staff in its entirety were amazing, and very interactive. The best was how hard we laughed at the comedians, we honestly laughed about several things they said all over again this morning. We will definitely go back. If youre looking for a fun Saturday night, thats different than the norm, I would highly recommend the CC

Liam and the team at The Crazy Canuck catered our wedding and did an amazing job of the whole production. They provided beer, appetizers, dinner and a poutine bar at the end of the night and everything was perfect. Throughout the whole process, Liam was accommodating through multiple reschedules because of COVID and even brought out a mini-version of the meal on our original wedding date to try and make the day a little more special. I cant praise the team enough and HIGHLY recommend them for catering events or even just a casual bite to eat. You wont be disappointed. Thanks for everything!

I was in town for work and decided to try this place after seeing reviews online. It was so unassuming, a bit hard to find from the street. However once I got in, the staff were so friendly and helpful, they recommended a double smash burger and I got poutine with it. The burger was phenomenal, the patty had such good flavour! Fries good classic cut/cook and nice squeaky cheese curds. I highly recommended this place for a quick and great meal. I ll try something else next time for sure.

We had a pulled pork on a bun and the quinoa burger... Both were very good. Excellent value for money here...the quality and options are better than other pubs downtown and at the same (or better) price point. The patio is a hidden gem. Amazing laid back, casual feel with good comfort food...cant go wrong!

Just ordered a hot dog and fries from this spot. So good! And the customer service was excellent, over-the-top. I originally ordered the hot dog with a side of fries but was accidentally given a side of Caesar salad (which wasnt a big deal). I was tight for time so I left, but the chef ran out to the street to find me before I got in my vehicle and apologized for the mistake. He fixed my order right away and I had time to get to my next meeting. Thank you!!!!

It really was a stumbled upon as we are from Toronto, and was just driving by Kitchener. Thanks to google, we found you! My only complains are.... 1) I wished we could have dine in ( but I bet everyone felt the same), but even we did a take out and ate it in the car, it was so good. Burger was cooked on point (ordered crazy canuck), love the mushrooms! And everything is so fresh! And fries was crispy still! 2) the portion is HUGE and very value for money! 3) saw the garlic fingers, and was a bit unsure, but I am so glad I ordered them. It was one of the best garlic bread I ever tasted. I am also glad I over ordered, because I brought it home with me and (after a few hours later), heating it up on a pan, it still tasted super awesome. How I wish I could get them here! 4) promise, last complain! The staff was friendly, they were not pushy, gave me enough information to make my own decision! It was the right amount of customer service. Really curious how this place is like, pre- covid... Wish to go back post covid! Lastly, guys... I know times are not great. I really hope we meet yall at a better times. Better days are coming, good luck and keep pushing. There are people like us cheering for you guys! Hope to see you soon!

Wow, this is one of those hidden gems which really shouldn t be hidden! As a rib aficionado, this is my new go-to in KW (along with the Lanc). It s easy to tell if care was taken in preparing food (from appearance to taste) and it s obvious the chef (at least today on June 22) really cared about his craft, even the Greek salad was excellent. And they re so devoted to the diner s experience, they even have their own craft beer! Can t wait to return for live comedy in the courtyard Friday/Saturday evenings!

This was our first time to the Kitchener location and it was fantastic. First, we were surprised to discover they have a patio in a courtyard in the center of the building. We were planning on doing takeout, but we stayed and dined in the patio instead. It was a hot humid day but somehow a breeze still got through. Second, I noticed the staff used the hand sanitizer whenever they left the patio as the only way to exit is to pull open a door by the handle. Other restaurants weve been to made us afraid for our lives due to their flaunting of basic COVID health recommendations, but we felt safe here. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the food was great. We ordered the Canuck poutine. It was delicious on its own, but it also came with two of the best ribs weve ever had. The waitress told us that if we ever order the ribs separately, to order them Canucked. We started with the Halifax sticks which were also yummy; super cheesy and the dipping sauce was nice and garlicky. Apparently there is also dessert poutine which sounded amazing, but we didnt have room to try it as we were so full we had to take half of our meal home. We were also told that they have live comedy on Friday and Saturday nights and that the line up is available in their Instagram feed. Well be heading back to try a bunch of other stuff on the menu soon.

Heres the deal: I am a Québec girl who was practically raised on poutine. Today, while out running errands in Kitchener with my partner, I was craving a Montréal smoked meat poutine and Google led us to The Crazy Canuck. We were there very early and the only ones in the joint, which gave us the opportunity to chat a little with the very friendly staff (or owners???). I ordered the poutine I was craving for and my partner, an East coast guy, ordered the Halifax donair poutine. Let me tell you folks, we were definitely not disappointed: the portions were generous, the fries fresh and cooked perfectly, the amount of meat and Lac Mégantic curd cheese was so much more than we expected, and there was just enough sauce to cover the fries without making them soggy. Overall, our poutines rocked and beat the ones we usually have at our regular stop in Drummondville on our way to/back from Québec City. Eight hours later and we still talk about how good our meals were! Kudos folks, you now have two more patrons who will go back to try other items from the menu or go on a date for comedy night. We highly recommend!

Tucked away in a sunken downtown office building, this hidden gem is a great place to hang out and have the best poutine in the region. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. They have a courtyard that makes the restaurant feel very unique to other places for pub grub and a beer. Their poutine is always consistently delicious at both locations. This time we finally had the opportunity to try their fries straight from the kitchen as opposed to waiting for delivery since the pandemic started!
