the crazy canuck

stopped in at thecrazycanuck after visiting st.jacobs market. it is quite a small restaurant, but aren't those the real gems? they take on a southern style approach to food with bbq ribs, baked hot dogs and the best burger in town! i kid you not, it's called the best burger in town and for good reason! the food is delicious, and the staff are friendly. my only gripe was the size of the place. lots of ample parking also. all in all, worth a look, just hope it's not jam packed!

really enjoyed the food. this was my first visit to thecrazycanuck. won,t be by last, the food was great, best burger ihave ever had, i took my grand daugther. too much food for her to eat, would have like to seee a kids menu or half portions,

a girl i used to work with is the sister of one of the owners. ever since she told me about it i’ve been meaning to visit, but being out by the st jacob’s market, i don’t travel that way often. a few saturday’s ago we ended up at the market just before close. we popped over to the outlet mall quickly afterwards, and by the time we were done we were both hungry. finally, we were in the right place at the right time and were able to hit upcrazycanuck . i’ll be honest, it was not what i was expecting. for some reason i had thought it would be similar to moose winooski’s or something, but it turned out it’s quite small inside, with only a few tables there, but they have a huge covered patio with more tables outside. the indoor decor was a little bit strange to me. the walls and tables are plastered with record covers and there is a ring of the actual vinyl’s around the walls. i’m not sure what records have to do with being canadian, but at least they chose a theme and stuck with it. the

thecrazycanuck is a great relaxing place to hang out with friends and eat great food.  the giant patio seats a pile of people at picnic tables under a wood roof.  the inside is unique and informal; just the way we like it!  after ordering our food at the counter, we went to sit down inside at the table beside the license plates from all over canada.  (they’re missing a pei and a newfoundland if you’re interested.  maybe you’ll get free food or something!)  the interior of the place is a little eclectic with lps nailed to the wall in a line and movie posters.  the effect is just cool! eet smakelijk!! thecrazycanuck 845 weber st n waterloo on n2j4g8 www.thecrazycanuck.ca     leave a reply cancel reply enter your comment here... fill in your details below or click an icon to log in: email (required) (address never made public) name

canucks rule!. this place was beautiful, all for the food. the small location is humble and a bit silly looking, but they food is amazing. makes mdd wish i lived in the city.

i will be coming back to thecrazycanuck when i come to kw again.

miss you till then!

this place is awesome...there's absolutely no doubt about it. thecrazycanuck is canadian gourmet at its best...comfort and deliciousness all rolled up into one. we've already blogged about them...we've sent lots of friends there way...after all, anyone who can make a delicious fried dough dessert smothered in house made jam with cinnamon sugar and ice cream deserves the kudos that they receive! so when we found out that they had recently renovated...we found a reason for a return visit post!

my new favourite restaurant. my girlfriend and i got lost on the way due to the directions posted on urbanspoon (look them up beforehand, it's by the antique shop in st. jacobs). when we got there we were greeted by the extremely friendly staff that worked there. extremely personable and genuine people that truly cared for their guests. i got a burger with bacon, cheese, mayo and jalapeños. i upgraded for the pulled pork poutine which has got to be the best poutine i've ever had. the poutine got topped with a side rib which fell right off the bone and their world class pulled pork. my girlfriend got the teriyaki chicken pizza which was also really good. i was extremely satisfied with everything. the staff there made us feel at home and the price was very good, costed me under 25$ for the two of us. we also spent some time after in the neat little antique shop. i would definitely say it was worth getting lost for. i recommendcrazycanuck to everyone 100%.

thecrazycanuck was spectacular! small place, great helpful and genuinely friendly service. my food was amazing, i got the portobello mushroom burger which had goat cheese, peppers, onions and a delicious balsamic sauce. it came with a choice of soup or salad...and i believe there was a third option i can't remember. my friend ordered the pulled pork poutine. huge serving. uniquely delicious tasting gravy with cooked apples in it, which balanced perfectly. i'm impressed with this place and stoked because its 5 minutes away from where i live. i'll be taking everyone i know!

and now for something completely different!. my family has been scouting restaurants for our thursday night outs and have been nonplussed with most of the lacklustre diners and kid-friendly chain restaurants in town. thecrazycanuck is a little further out for us but was well-worth visiting.

unparalleled service: patient and helpful, jeremy enjoyed helping us figure out what we wanted to eat. he spoke kindly with our kids and helped them decide on their order (a la carte! two custom mini pizzas and spinach salads with balsamic vinegar and olive oil), then endorsed my selection of "smoked meat poutine w/pulled pork, curds, 2 ribs and apple gravy". jeremy was happy to chat with the kids and even liked one of their suggestions for an unusual pizza and said he would give it a try. they were thrilled.

outstanding food: although the smoked meat poutine was probably not the healthiest choice, it tasted great (!). this poutine is highly recommended - wow! the kids raved about their pizzas.

custom experience: this is the gem of a hamburger place you will be glad to sneak out to when you want the unique experience of a caring staff, incredible prices and a uniquely canadian meal. about the prices: this is the first family restaurant in kw where i didn't feel like the goal was to extract as much $$$ from me with as little returned as possible. we felt as though jeremy genuinely wanted us to have an enjoyable, memorable and affordable dining experience.

although greasy and in a location you might wish were closer to "the city", thecrazycanuck was an immediate hit with our family. i started an urbanspoon account for the sole purpose of leaving this review. we will be back.

when you own a small establishment in a city thats flouded with big name franchises you have to do something special to standout. thecrazycanuck does this in spades excellent food, friendly staff that care about your dining experience.my girlfriend and i will definitely be returning.
