“ The service was amazing and the atmosphere was everything! The regular menu food was good but there new brunch menu was lacking. The breakfast potatoes were very bland and some of them were too hard. The brioche French toast was delicious to my son but to me, i didn't like the egg on the outside. The biscuits were very dry, definitely not grandma approved. I know that they are trying something new so i won't knock them for that. The steak and poached eggs however were amazing! ”
“ Love, love, love this place! And we loved our waitress, Sibil! Get the appetizer trio, the catfish poboy, wings, or anything pictured in this review! Amazing brunch spot! Portions were great and we cleaned our plates. No long line, seated immediately, and Sibil was willing to take an extra table just so we could sit by the window. I am in awe! Thank you, Sibil and staff! ”
“ Great spot in downtown Memphis! Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, and huge portions. The burgers and drinks are amazing, and the Canadian vibe makes it unique. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ I tried Kooky Canuck based on a suggestion and it was worth the visit. The staff is incredibly friendly. I had the Canuck Donair and it was delicious. It comes as two wraps with doner beef, a sweet sauce, onion and tomatoes. I had the sweet potatoe fries as a side and they were spot on in flavor. The beers are incredibly large and they have a great selection of drinks. This is a great spot to hang with friends for some good food and drinks. ”
“ The bottle Modelo beer had a skunky taste meaning it was close to or past its expiration date. I ordered fish and chips and they didn’t have malt vinegar. Otherwise the food was excellent. The Mac and cheese was superb. The chicken wings was tasty and perfectly season. The cheese bites and sauce was magically delicious according to my granddaughter. ”
