Kooky Canuck - Kooky burgers a big variety and the challenge burgers - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I ordered fried green tomatoes and buffalo tenders. Both entrees came back deep fried in a salty cornmeal batter. I have never had fried green tomatoes or chicken tenders cooked in what taste and looked like fish batter. When I asked for a refund or voucher I was denied. I was told by the manager, Liz, that I could only get the same order cooked again. Wow!!!! I left the fish battered fried food. Please note pics. BOTH LOOK AND TASTE LIKE FISH!! read more

OK second visit to this location. More to not like. The spouse was not happy with the hard seats. He definitely prefers the booths at the downtown locale. Our service was somewhat slow. I made the mistake of ordering the southwest salad without specifying dressing on the side. The fried green tomatoes were on point, but the rest was drowning in dressing. Not good read more

On February 25 I had family and close friends come into town for my husband' surprise birthday dinner. We had reservations at the Cordova, TN restaurant. We all got our orders but my son finally had to go get the silverware himself. My husband's steak, ordered medium, wa overcooked and we never got requested drink refills. I think the staff was more interested in who would win a contest of some sort that night. This site was chosen by my daughter who had eaten there with her husband on a trip to Memphis a few months back and she said it was very enjoyable. Of course, she feels badly for recommending it for a happy occasion. Apparently nobody was on their A game that night. I don't think we'll be back. read more

We walked in and was seated immediately. I noticed the decor was taxidermy animals. I hate the killing of animals just so they can be put on display. BUT whomever did this work did a great job. The animals looked perfect. There's so many different kinds of animals to look at. Our waiter was nice and the wait time wasn't long. I just hated that everything came out all at once. But that was probably my fault. I was trying to save the waiter some steps and I ordered everything at once. So he probably thought I wanted my app, dish, and dessert all out at the same time. The fried green tomatoes were good. And I really loved the mini cookie and ice cream pan. It was just the right size for me. The mac and cheese is really cheesy and is enough for two. It was a lot of food period. I personally did not like the the fries. Sorry guys read more

Had a very enjoyable evening with cocktails and dinner last night. My wife had catfish, I had prime bib and my brother had a ribeye steak. Everything was cooked nicely and every entree was tasty. They have a wide assortment of side dishes, each of them good as well. We so enjoyed our server Jeremy who was attentive without being overbearing, had a great sense of humor and eager to please... ask for him! None of us had one of their burgers but our family tells us they are fabulous. Drawbacks... music a bit loud making conversation difficult and parking is limited on the street forcing us to use a pay lot just down the street. Normally $8 for 2 hours, but after 4:30PM, it's flat rate $15 to park. We'd definitely come back here! read more

Order the S'mores! They bring the fire and all the fixings to you, and you get to have all of the fun of roasting marshmallows and making s'mores without any of the cleanup.* Every time I order them, (every time I've been to Kooky) my fellow restaurant-goers are intrigued by the fun that is happening at my table. Don't be one of those people who gets FOMO from watching your table neighbors roast marshmallows. *Campfire stories not included. read more

fantastic food and Edward is one of the best servers I've ever had! I'd give it six stars if i could

Went here two times after a Redbirds game. The food is great (minus the 2 pubes I found on my plate) and if I owned this establishment I would require the current employees to undergo a personality class. Both times we dined here the servers were flat, rude and impersonable. read more

Ever had BBQ Eggrolls? Now certainly you may have heard of Kooky Canuck and may already know how great are their burgers and other food. But did you know they have BBQ Eggrolls? Do you know how incredible they taste? Remember, we are in Memphis, so BBQ is done right - but Eggrolls? Yes! They're a wonderful unique flavor. They are on my Short List of "Gotta Get It" when I go to Kooky Canuck's. Of course, "Man does not live by Eggrolls alone". Kooky Canuck have burgers too. The best burger I have tried is the Maple Bacon Burger. Yes, it may be a bit messy, but that comes from the fantastic maple bacon aioli and maple mustard glaze. DE-licious! They have plenty of other burgers, salads and other great food you can try. The next time you're headed to the Orpheum for a show or concert, add Kooky Canuck's to your meal plans. read more

What a surprise!! We were headed to Huey's but they were packed. Too bad for them! I have a new Memphis burger staple. The hamburgers were amazing. My wife had the one with French toast and I had the one that was touted on the menu as the best in Memphis. It really was. I am a HUGE fan of burgers with fried egg. Put avocado and a ton of melty cheese on that guy and you win. On the side I had fries with gravy and cheese curds. I could have just gotten that. Glad I didn't but I would have been just as happy. The cost seemed high until I saw that fat burger and the hill of fries. Service seemed a bit slow but then we were a party of 11. I will eat here at least once (probably more) per visit to Memphis. read more

Very nice place to grab a bite to eat (the bar area looked comfortable,too). Our server, Jen was nice, great at conversation and very professional - made sure we had ever thing we needed, refilled our drinks couldn't ask for more. Interesting decor, lots of deer heads mounted along the wall and a very interesting white birch style "fence " seperating the bar area from the dining area. Now the food - very LARGE portions! You will not leave hungry. I had the cob salad with grilled chicken, nice and fresh, loved it! My date had the American club sandwich with fries, what a monster! That too was a good choice. We enjoyed the experience and food, would definitely return. read more

This place was great. Sunday morning/brunch drink specials. Working the bar was Davin and he's the dude, the man, etc. Super personable, great food (I went with wings and poutine. Huge poutine portion) recommendation. Offered up some tastes of local brews. All around a great experience. The only down thing I can say is I was looking for my Bears football, as I'm visiting from out of town and they don't have the ticket. Not going to fault them on that as this is not a sports bar. They had redzone so it was all good. read more

Yes come for their burgers and Canadian beers! However, who would've thought that this place is awesome for dessert and late night eats for cheap! A definite Memphis foodie must! Whether it's a 6 pound burger or some s'mores for dessert, such a great place to promote social eating! Don't forget the made to order cookie or brownie a la mode in an iron skillet! read more

Some of these catchy places really suck, but Kooky Canuck was a lot better than expected. We went in for a quick bite before a Redbirds game. My brother and I split the Poutine and a skillet cookie. Both were good. The poutine gravy had a zip to it, and we ordered the deluxe version that had gyro meat on it. My brothers cookie was freshly made and served in a small skillet with ice cream. Then the guy next to us was served a 6 lb burger. Holy jeezus... the thing was enourmous. If you're into food challenges, check our their monster burger options. read more

Kooky Canuck - At kooky canuck so far it's good for what they serve.. - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Everything about this place is big. The trophy animal heads on the wall of huge Elk, Moose and all sorts of other large game, the over-sized drinks, the portions of food, and yes.....the ENORMOUS 7.5 pound burger as featured on Man Vs. Food. Amazingly enough, this was my first visit to Kooky Canuck. It always seemed like such a touristy kind of place that I figured I wouldn't like it much. But I actually had a great time. The place was lively and fun and our waiter, Lee, was really great. I went with one of my girlfriends, and neither of us was exactly famished, so we opted to just get a couple of appetizers instead of a full blown meal. The first thing we tried were the deep fried pickles. They were very different from the fried pickles you get in other restaurants in town. Instead of the thinly sliced, lightly battered and gently fried version. Kooky's does theirs in big chunks, loaded with batter and then deep fried til they are really crisp. They are served with honey mustard and ranch for dipping. They were delicious, but so rich I could only eat one or two. Definitely a great appetizer to share with a group. Next we tried the barbecue egg rolls. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they were exactly as described. Really good, shredded barbecue pork inside an egg roll wrapper. They come three to an order, and guess what? These were really big as well. I barely ate one, especially after those pickles. Now you wouldn't think I'd have any room left for dessert, and I usually never order sweets anyway. But the manager, Terry, came by our table and talked us into it. I had a skillet cooked chocolate chip cookie, still hot from the over and topped with vanilla ice cream. The inside of the cookie was soft and warm with lots of melted chocolate. It was sooooooooo good!!!!! I would go back here for that dessert alone. Another thing they do big here - extra large pours of wine. I ordered a glass of chardonnay and couldn't believe the 12 oz portion that came out to the table for only $6 per glass. What a deal. They are known for their specialty mixed drinks as well which come in gigantic sized mugs with all sorts of interesting concoctions. I will definitely go back again. read more

I was told about this chain from a couple Memphis locals while on a cruise a few years ago and bookmarked it, only to use it years later. They raved about the burgers here, so we decided to come here for dinner. There was no wait on Saturday night around 6:30 PM, but it was still busyish. I ordered the Memphis Finest ($12.09), which had an 80/20 Angus beef patty, fried egg, avocado, BBQ onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and garlic mayo (on the side), all the ingredients you would think would make for a fine burger. I asked for it medium rare, so in theory, yes. In practice, not so much. When I got the burger, my mayo was not on the side. No biggie. I got a new lettuce and only ate one half of a bun. But to my utter disappointment, the burger came out medium well/well done. Ew. I know it's an amazing burger when burger juice is dripping down my arm, and I have to flag the server down for more and more napkins. This was not the case. No juice dripping, and the server was no where to he found after our food was served to even ask for more napkins. In fact, we didn't see her again until we asked for the check. It was good and edible, yes, but the Finest it was not. I've had better burgers at Red Robin, my go to comparison burger place, and it was average at best. Hell, I've had better burgers at fast casual joints. Why didn't ask for a remake, you ask? Like I said, I didn't even see the server again until the check was given to us, so that would have been a long wait. The best part of the meal were the sweet potato fries ($1.29 upgradd). They were super delicious and saved this place from a lower rating. Maybe some of the best sweet potato fries I ever had. Perfectly cooked and tasty. I wanted dessert, but by the time the server came around I was totally over it and wanted to leave. Maybe I came on an off day, but it's not like I'm in Memphis all the time, and I don't want to waste my last day in Memphis on what could be a mediocre burger if it wasn't an off day. read more

Ok, pretty prompt answer back from Kooky, I will give another star for diligence, and the care that the president of the restaurant showed. Again as I said the burger was good and tasty. But chicken not being cooked can cause a lot of pain on an individual. I understand that you change the whole plate but if two dishes had chewy raw chicken then there is a serious problem. Thank you again for the prompt response and good luck in the future read more

The boyfriend was craving a burger so we decided to check out Kooky Canuck. We showed up on around 8pm on a Saturday night and were seated right away! We also got a window seat, which made for great people watching as we waited for our food. Our server, Sonia, was right with us and was ready to take our order once she brought us our drinks. I tried the American Club, while my boyfriend had the Yonga Street burger. We also had an order of onion rings as an appetizer. The onion rings came quickly and were surprisingly good. I'm not a big fan of onion rings because the onion usually slips out during the first bite, but these did not do that. They were crunchy and delicious. When our dinners came, I was blown away by the amount of food we were given! Either dinner could have been easily split between the two of us and left us both full. My club was pretty good, not the best I've had, but decent. My boyfriend felt his burger was just average as well. My only complaint is that both of our fries tasted like they had been sitting under a heat lamp for awhile, they were not very hot and just kinda blah. Overall, service was excellent and you get SOOO much food for your money. It's an average burger and sandwich joint in my opinion, but will likely have something for everyone and will fill everyone's bellies and then some. read more

Kooky Canuck - Big food and fun - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Let me go ahead and get this out of the way- they have a 4 lb burger! It's huge. Everytime I dine here, I think of Summer Rental with John Candy. I wish I were woman enough to tackle this big burger, but I'm just a chicken. So...instead, I go far the fried chicken salad or the catfish, the regular-sized burger, and the delicious fries. Kooky Canuck's really is a fun place, and the food is heads above typical bar or pub grub. The atmosphere is cool, reminiscent of a winter lodge, and there's plenty of seating. The bar area is a pretty nice size as well, and happy hour specials are great. I'll be back again and again. read more

Kooky Canuck - Poutine burger did not disappoint! - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I like heat. Actually love heat normally the spicer the better. I have gotten to the point where I can NORMALLY order the hottest thing on the menu and find it enjoyable. Then enters the Holy Smoke sauce. I ask the waitress how hot Holy Smoke buffalo tenders are and she told me it will make you sweat. Perfect! That normally means for mere mortals so I should be fine. The first bite was a little a sweat which disappointed me because I can't stand sweat heat. Then it hit me - the heat started but it wasn't too bad. After the third bite I thought the gates of hell opened in my mouth. Mount Vesuvius had opened and my mouth was Pompeii - I saw it coming but there was nothing I could do. I was sweating, crying and thought my lips were literally going to fall off. Out of the four tenders I finished two - and the other two later that night. So to all you brave souls out there for the love of everything that is good just try the sauce first! But I give you mad respect Kooky Canuck, mad respect! read more

we went to the Kooky Canuck - Memphis tonight. My husband was serviced raw Canadian bacon, which appeared to be a piece of pork not Canadian bacon, in his club sandwich. He vomited at the restaurant, while walking back to our hotel then the rest of the night. We mentioned that the pork (which did NOT look like Canadian bacon, big difference) was raw to our waitress, she said "let me see what the chef says" and came back with an updated bill minus the sandwich. No "sorry" or "OMG!" Nothing!!! If I worked there I would be embarrassed. At first we could excuse the seemingly cranky woman at the hostess stand and the slow service and having to ask the bus boy (who was running!) to get us napkins. But this experience was unacceptable *do not recommend* zero stars read more

Food was very good! It seemed to take a while to get the food, but it was well worth the wait. I had the Memphis Best and added bacon...super good. My friend had the Canadian and loved it! The deep dish cookie and brownie are to die for! read more

Kooky Canuck - Memphis Best w/ bacon! AMAZING! - New American Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Holy cow, this place was awesome. If staying away from Beale Street AND keeping things interesting is your thing, the food and atmosphere is top notch at Kooky Canuck. Nothing would please your cardiologist. Burgers with French Toast as buns, drizzled with Maple Syrup? IT WORKED! Order the Poutin, and get the Sweet Potato Fries too. Also, best Turkey Burger I've ever had...no frozen patty here. Fresh ground turkey, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Perfect. We had Sonia waiting on us, and we were not disappointed. She anticipated our questions, gave great suggestions, and even got politely sassy with us. Save room for the skillet deserts (chocolate chip or brownie) as that's a great way to top off a great meal. Well done! read more

So my gf and I took a trip to Memphis and came to Kooky Canuck because it was one of the few places still serving food late. At this point, I must give a few disclaimers. 1. This is the first review I have ever left about a restaurant. 2. I have never left a restaurant without leaving at least a minimal tip. 3. Even if the food sucks I will still pay and move on. 4. I can't tell you about their entire menu, but I can tell you about the Poutine fries and the prime rib. Now, with those disclaimers behind us, let me proceed by saying that not only was this the worst service, nor were these probably the nastiest things I have ever put in my mouth, but the bill was $80 for two drinks and the two meals. Upon arrival, we sat at the half empty bar for fifteen minutes while the bartender held a private conversation with another patron. We didn't get drink orders in until we flagged someone down. The poutine was cold with chunks of cheese on top of the fries and the prime rib didn't taste like steak, while the au jus was simply greasy, unseasoned and just completely nasty. I ate two bites and pushed the plate away intending to just pay and leave. The bartender came and asked why I didn't eat it and I told her I didn't like the taste. She took my plate to discuss with her manager and we overheard him telling her that basically he didn't care. We got the bill and I reluctantly paid the $80 but I couldn't, in all good conscience, ever leave a tip for that type of food or service. Go at your own risk. All I can do is tell you about my experience. read more

Big, tasty burger with blue cheese and fried japs and mini dessert (terrific bread pudding) for $15.60. Service was friendly, but a bit slow.

Not a fan of seeing animals on the walls. Gross. read more

Cool concept and chain. We enjoyed ourselves. Finally found a place with tasty poutine! The food was tasty, service was good and the price reasonable for a downtown location. They have these ridiculous 4 - 12 lb burgers that people actually order and try to eat in less than an hour. I'm just glad no one was trying while we were there !!!. Overall, fun place with good food. Give it a go. read more

The food is good. Nothing to write home about but perfectly adequate. The drinks however are wonderful and half price on Tuesdays.

Literally had to walk out. Don't be showing Uber eats dudes your tats while customer hasn't even got a drink.
