The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

Long week in Memphis, dining at one of my favorites!

My friend owns a larger catering/events establishment in Georgia and was excited about the menu at the establishment. We walked in (on a whim) and asked if tables were available (clearly we saw some on the patio and inside once we entered). The greeting from the hostess was - let's just say less than inviting. . It was around 7:40p and she said "well since you don't have a reservation, the soonest I can get you in is 8p" ...no problem we will walk around until then. My initial thought, screw this reservation - if the hostess has this type of demeanor, what could we expect in terms of service? As my friend was still excited about the menu and to taste some of the pairings, we decided to wait. At 7:59 (like clockwork), the notice of our table being ready was sent. The hostess seated us and again, I wasn't optimistic of what would occur during the visit. The server that greeted us was GREAT!!! We ordered SEVERAL appetizers and drinks and all were AMAZING - (the grilled avocado with the shrimp was worth the trip alone). For dinner we ordered Peking Duck and Ribeye Steak Salads (and more drinks). Both were amazing. And while the desserts looked divine, there was absolutely no room. We were impressed with the old Beauty Shop decor - it really was a conversation piece. It's small and quaint and we had a lovely chat with the patrons alongside us. The food and service EXCELLENT! I'm glad that I didn't follow my first inclination to leave (because of the hostess and the "curt" demeanor). On a high note, I did notice the hostess being very gracious to the others that she encountered. Maybe it was my cologne - not everyone likes to smell YSL ‍.

Many ordered the skate with brown butter which was world class. After dinner, 1 client remained due to difficulty getting Uber. He ordered a drink and was told the register was closed. I quietly asked the owner if he could offer the drink on the house, and he declined. Had he been more accommodating, ACRE would have been at the top of the list for a substantial number of subsequent business dinners. My fiancé and I decided we would give Acre another try last week. We ordered the striped bass entree for $49. When the dish arrived there was what could only be described as two scraps of fish: One piece was less than a half inch thick and about 4 inches long, and after some searching, we found a second piece about half that size. I have never seen a striped bass small enough to yield a filet that thin. We asked the server to ask the kitchen if that was intentional or if there was a mistake. We were hopeful that a "do over" would result in the entrée described on the menu. Unfortunately, the server was clearly not in our court. Her attitude was passive /aggressive or at best indifferent. Despite specifically asking what the chef had to say, we received no visit or even feedback from the kitchen. What could have been handled with a laugh and a new or different entrée selection, quickly became uncomfortable. Hindsight is 20/20, but we should have considered our first bad experience a clear message that the culture at Acre is not a fit for us. We will not be back.

On Friday May 19, 2017 I had a terrible experience at Kooky Canuck. First I made reservations over the phone for 9:30 p.m. and I was told I had up to 15 minutes to arrive. I was on my way and about 9:25 I received a call from the restaurant asking very rudely were I was at and if I was still coming. I told them I was almost there and that the manager told me when I made the reservation that I had 15 minutes to get there before they gave the table away. I should have went with my first mind to cancel, but since my nephews graduation ran so late most of the other places were going to be closing sooner than Kooky Canuck. By the way when we arrived the place wasn't crowded at all. There were plenty of tables and no one was waited to be seated. We had a party of 12 and the waitress was horrible. She brought the small hot bottle of ginger ale and didn't bring a glass with ice, she messed up the other drink orders. Then she put the other orders in or so we thought and she forgot to take one order. She came back and took the order and his food came out way before everyone else. Three of us ordered turkey burgers and all three were mushy on the inside. We told the waitress and she said I don't know anything about that. So I guess it was a cook that came out and explained I say guess cause he wasn't dressed like anyone I wanted to cook my food. He told us the turkey burgers are made in the morning and they ran out so they made some more and they didn't set long enough that's why they were mushy. The bread crumbs they put inside the turkey burger didn't set long enough. Um okay weird. Two of the ladies that ordered sent their turkey burger back and didn't eat. I sent mines back and asked the waitress if they had honey hot wings that weren't hot and she said yes and she assured me they weren't hot. I got them and I asked her to put them in a to go box since everyone else was through eating. When I opened the box to check I could smell the buffalo sauce immediately. I said I thought you said they weren't hot she said oh not to me. I sent them back and yes of course I didn't get to eat either. The waitress was also complaining that her husband had already gotten off work wherever he work and she was anxious to get home to him. She was even outside on the phone when we were looking for her at one point. Like I said horrible experience. I had to stop at the grocery store and go home and cook something to eat. Please take this email seriously the service at this location is bad and the food is worse. The other people that did eat in my party said the food was just not good. This was the Cordova location read more

I will say first off that I love this place, and if I don't go at least once or twice a month, something is wrong. 5 stars on the food. Everything on the menu is in enormous portions, with the largest item being a King Kookamonga, a 12 pound burger that approaches 20,000 calories. No kidding. They have a dessert that is essentially a 55 gallon drum (kidding) of ice cream and other goodies, I believe its called the Avalanche. But, that is not the norm. Most items are generous portions that a hungry individual will be more than happy with. Everything from burgers, steaks, chicken, salads, fish... It's all there. I recommend a 'normal' burger, such as the 4 cheese. The taste is amazing, and I claim it is the best burger in Memphis. Forget Huey's, what a joke. I've had most of the claimed 'best burgers in memphis', and this one kicks their butts. Also, they make their own dressings. Try the ranch on your fries, you wont regret it. And for an appetizer, bbq eggrolls. You just have to have faith that that is a good combination. It is. I have brought friends and family from out of town here and they all agree, it is one of the best burgers they've had. 5 stars for cheap beer! If you want to be intoxicated without taking out a mortgage, this is your place. A 34 oz draft for 3.99? I couldn't bring my own at that price. And if you come to any of their hosted special events, the beers are only $2. That's pretty much the biggest bang for your buck in downtown Memphis. The atmosphere is cool. It can get loud when its crowded, so its not the place for a quiet date. The place is usually packed if there is any kind of event happening downtown, or its a friday or saturday night. Be prepared to wait in that case. Sundays for lunch are a great time to go, you can usually park right outside on second street. The most convenient place to park is the peabody place garage less than 1 block away, it's only $1 an hour. Shawn, the owner, is great. He is usually visible and interacting with customers. Just an all around great guy. My only complaint is sometimes the service leaves something to be desired. Of course, this is entirely dependent upon the server you get, but most of them are great. It's been a while since I've gotten poor service, so maybe those people have since moved on. If you want an EXCELLENT burger, walk right past Huey's and into Kooky Canuck, you wont regret it. read more

A Blessing in Memphis - Kooky Canuck & Connie Deserve 10 Stars! I'm here in Memphis from California under incredibly difficult circumstances--my brother is in the trauma unit at the hospital. For two days, I've been unable to eat because every place near the hospital has been disappointing to say the least. But THANK GOD I found Kooky Canuck! From the moment I walked in, this place was a godsend. The atmosphere, the food, and most of all, the incredible waitress Connie, made all the difference. I asked her what I should order, and without hesitation, she recommended the burger with sautéed mushrooms. Let me tell you--it was divine! After two days of feeling defeated and throwing away food, this meal was not just delicious, but comforting in a way I didn't even realize I needed. And Connie? She was an absolute angel. Her kindness and hospitality were a breath of fresh air. You could tell she truly cared about making me feel welcome. She didn't just take my order; she made me feel like a valued guest, which, in moments like these, is priceless. I have to highlight this, too: Kooky Canuck is a bar, and as someone who doesn't drink, I've often experienced subpar service at similar places. But here? Not a chance. The service was top-notch from beginning to end, and I never once felt out of place. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food, the people, and the atmosphere were a true blessing during one of the hardest weeks of my life. Thank you, Kooky Canuck, and thank you, Connie, for showing me such kindness when I needed it most. If you're in Memphis, don't walk--RUN to this place. You won't regret it! God bless this restaurant and everyone who works here! read more

Don't Bother. Why does downtown Memphis have have a Canadian themed restaurant? Same reason we have a giant glass pyramid with a Bass Pro in it, I suppose? Whatever ... it's a cool looking place with a fun menu that I've wanted to try for ages. I finally managed to visit but had a bad experience. We walked in ... place was 2/3 empty ... the greeter didn't say hello, just picked up her menu and walked off. We assumed (correctly?) that she had meant for us to follow her. In spite of there being maybe ten open tables, she sits right next to the kitchen. It was noisy, there was a lot of foot traffic and the chair stuck out into the busy walkway - so I politely asked her to move us. She said that we'd have to wait a minute. So we waited, and waited, and waited while she ignored us and pretended to be busy. The rest of the staff ignored us too. Another couple came in and she gave us a fake smile and seated them right away. We walked out. I don't think that we deserved to be treated like that. We came for a fun family meal and left angry and disappointed. read more

I have eaten at Kooky Canuck many a time and always had good food and service. It is one of my GO TO places when up in Memphis whether I'm with family, girlfriends or visitors from out of town. Thursday night we had a group party of 14 there and couldn't have been more pleased. It has such a variety of food to fit everyone's taste, but we had to try the King Kookamonga (was very good, besides fun). What especially stood out for us was the way the Kooky Canuck's worked with us. The manager, we called several times with questions, our wonderful waitress , Sonia, to anyone of the staff we had a question of. They were so accomodating and helpful with everything from the 'Elvis' impersonator, to keeping our specialty cake in the cooler for us. Sonia our waitress was not only friendly and personable but literally a step ahead of us on everything and with many helpful suggestions. I will continue going back for the good food and service but I really am going to put the word out how super they are for groups. read more

Kooky Canuck is a great mainstay of downtown Memphis. It saddens me to see a patron write multiple bad reviews why?? because he did not get bread with his meal - how "concerned" should the manager be??? Should kooky run out and add dinner rolls and hushpuppies to menu!!! How sad is it that your entire evening was ruined over a piece of bread - and that's kooky's fault. I've been a patron for years - going there for Grizzlies games and concerts - their food is great and Sean and Lana are great owners.Next time - get a 34oz beer and don't worry about the bread. BUT - I was actually writing this review to comment on the great service I received from Lori before the Jason Aldean concert - my friends and I had a wonderful time - the COOKIE was excellent. read more

Never been in downtown Memphis before, so I searched for local restaurants for good food and atmosphere. Kooky Canuck got my attention by the unique menu of oversized burgers and drinks! Indeed, drinks are huge and only 9.99 for 34 oz of cocktail! (On Tuesdays , they say, it's actually only $5.00). Food was also very delicious, especially their famous Memphis burger and Maple burger! However, the best part of my experience at Kooky Canuck was our server Sonia! She took a good care of us and made sure our night was very pleasant. She has good knowledge of the product they serve, so if you are not sure what to choose to try, she can easily recommend something good and you won't regret it;) read more

My burger was excellent but my wife was not a fan of the salad. In the middle of it was a huge chuck of iceberg, you know when they just throw a bowl together with no care for the person having to eat it. She enjoyed the sweet potato fries though.

Good lighting and good music the whole time. Oh, the food was great. The special is a bbq chicken omelette and one of us got it, the rest were jealous. Biscuits and gravy were solid. Banana French toast also incredible. Chicken and waffles were great. Stop by, you won't regret it.

It skips the hype, which honestly makes it a great spot for a casual Saturday breakfast. The food was solid across the board. Nothing flashy, just consistent and done right. You can tell they care about quality and the people they serve. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially with our wild toddler... greatly appreciated! Definitely recommend the OWT Breakfast or the 2-Fer Breakfast- they'll fill you up at a great price. We'll be back.

She was personable and efficient. My party highly recommends the BLT and the burger. My go to has been their Grilled Chicken Sammich add cheese with their soup of the day as my side. Wednesdays is red pepper with Gouda, aka melt in your mouth; it reminds me of a tomato soup/grill cheese combo! Definitely will be coming back
