moose's down under

hearty. fantastic place to throw an event, watch a game, have a pint, and chow on an unpretentious/good hearty meal! i never left here hungry.

sometimes it gets busy during lunch and if you have a big group, food may come out slow, so order fast if you only have a 1 hour lunch break.

chicken parma is the best! come with salad, do try the house passion fruit dressing.

ps. they have selections of some ozzie beer that ain't foster man.

i can feel the passion in this establishment!

this is a pub located in downtown, not far from canada place, with a large menu filled with australian-style comfort food. i initially wanted their meat pie, but unfortunately, they were out, so i got their shepard pie instead. i also got their schnitzel parmesan. the food was tasty - i was particularly impressed by their schnitzel parmesan (and i've heard that their chicken version is also very tasty) - and the prices are extremely reasonable, especially for their fairly generous portions. the staff were also very friendly (with charming, presumably australian accents). this place is definitely worth a visit.

shepard pie ($14.99):
3.5/5
this was served with a side salad with your choice of dressing (i had their house) and garlic bread. the shepard pie consisted of layers of mashed potatoes and ground beef smothered in gravy. the mashed potatoes were creamy while the meat was flavourful; i wasn't a big fan of the seasoning used however, i did find it to be a tad on the pungent side. the garlic bread was also quite buttery and nicely toasted. i didn't care for the salad: it seemed to be pretty under-dressed and was mostly bland greens.

schnitzel parmesan ($12.99):
4.5/5
this was also served with a side salad with your choice of dressing (i got ranch for this one) and garlic bread. i was very impressed with the schnitzel, which was tender and juicy, well-seasoned and quite crispy on the outside, with a good amount of cheese. again the garlic bread was tasty, and i actually liked the salad more this time: there was much more dressing, which made the veggies much more palatable.

summary:
food: 4/5
price: 4/5
service: 4/5
overall: 4/5
recommendations: schniztel parmesan

what a great place to hang out! recently went there to watch a world cup game with friends. love the ambience.

most of all, the aussie burger was out of the world. it was juicy and full of flavour and moreover it was huge! definitely will go back to try some other dishes.

ordered the kangas & mash the roo had a very strong gamey flavor more noticeable than the roo burger and for dessert i tried this creation call pavlova (meringue topped with whipped cream,strawberry & kiwi fruit)omg!!! it was dangerous delicious 10 stars i highly recommend this place,don't forget to say hello to corina(owner) she's an absolute sweetheart

the staff is incredibly friendly. the drinks are very strong. the pizza is good. the parmies are huge! however i suggest getting one with tomato sauce as some of the others can be a bit dry without it.

i have been to “moose’s downunder” before. and during that first time visit i made note of their chicken parm challenge, and today i saw out my intention to attempt it. to read up on my original visit to the australian bar visit the link below. moose’s down under bar & grill

came here cause my boyfriend told me there was a burger made just for me! if you don't know, well let me tell you. my kind of burger must have mushrooms, cheese, pineapple, and egg. most importantly the egg. i'm not sure why i like the egg in the burger, but it just makes it taste that much better. 

aussie burger - aside from what i have already said what i like on my burger, this burger had beets! omg! i love beets. this burger was so awesome, that is all i had to say.

service - good. we came down just before happy hour where appies were 1/2 off. the lady told us to wait about 10 minutes before ordering so the system can change before we get the 1/2 off. the lady also brought us extra napkins for the burgers as she warned it would be very messy. boy was she right!

moose’s down under is a good place to get some good ol’ pub food. in terms of pricing, i am torn whether to say moose’s down under is expensive or affordable. the chicken strips was kind of pricey but the burger was what you would typically expect; however, regardless of price, the food was good and i enjoyed my meal.

if you are looking for a good burger in downtown, i would suggest to try one of moose’s down under’s creation. either the aussie burger or one of the dud (down under deluxe or the big dud) burgers will be a good choice.

service was kind of spotty as we had to flag several servers before we got what we were asking for. we did go on a night where it looks like they were prepping for a party later on, so perhaps they were busy with other things.

the best parmies i've had outside of australia. lots of atmosphere, friendly staff and super good comfort food... which is authentically 'australian' unlike outback steakhouse or whatever.

moose down under is a fun and loud aussie pub where you can see rugby or soccer on big screen tvs, and hear aussie accents from a super friendly staff. i used to go there quite often when i first started my job in the area. i went out for lunch with my coworkers almost everyday back then, and it was definitely on the top of our list.

i was pleased to see the aussie burger on the menu, as i had not seen it for at least a couple years. in fact, the burger used to look a bit sloppy (which i didn’t mind because it was delicious), but now it looks absolutely fabulous – a beautiful fried egg with a golden yolk rested on a juicy beef patty on one bun, and some gorgeous slices of pineapple, beet, and tomato neatly stacked on the other bun. it is by far the most perfect looking sunny-side-up i have seen in my life. it reminds me of my halloween costume. (see the picture at the bottom.)

the beef patty was juicy and tasty, and so were the other components in the burger. although i had trouble eating the burger gracefully when i was taking big bites on the whole stack or burger goodness, i just didn’t care much about the mess because this burger was so darn good! seriously even the fries were so perfectly cooked, seasoned, and picture ready for food magazine. what’s going on here? what kind of burger magic are they conjuring to make this perfect plate of food? or is it that food replicator from star trek has been invented?

... patty slightly salty, but otherwise ok; toppings all provided as listed, but nonetheless failed to make an impression; bun very soft though, and most delish...

average pub food. i'm not an expert on aussie food. turns out that is a good thing, as there doesn't seem to be much about the cuisine that was particularly appetizing. i even tried an roo burger (yes with kangaroo meat) and the only thing i can say is... "meh" great atmosphere for watching soccer, but don't come here for the food.

aussie burger. great beef perfect seasonings

friendly and delicious. i love this place! the staff is wonderful and the food is great (especially the pizza's). the owner always makes a point to come and say hello. it's a great, casual atmosphere. i would definitely recommend it.

... really tender and juicy steak bites; blue cheese dip a tad strong, but a bit on the steak was ok
