It really saddens me to put this review in. I guess with the inflationary costs of food, the two…read morecan dine deal that used to be $59.99 for two moved to $69.99, with upcharge to some of the core two can dine menu items. Now the menu items are like club sandwiches, fish and chips, salad with a protein, fried chicken... a departure from the local fresh and uniquely marketed local fresh items that were unique. There is nothing special about this two can dine menu- and many are more lunch favourites. The two can dine date night menu isn't even available for lunch- which is where it belongs. Service has gotten slower, maybe staff cutback? But I've seen the same number of staff members. It took about 2 hours to get in and get out.

Our meals were absolutely delicious!

Every single plate was expertly prepared and even met our one friends dietary restrictions with gluten free bread. Everything was just so amazing! This is a go to place for our friends that we're visiting and I can see why. If we lived here, we'd definitely be regulars!

The place was a little…read moretoo warm and I extremely disliked the sticky tables (it wasn't dirty, but an unfortunate table top finish issue). We ordered quite a bit of food. The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

August 12/2025: Grad dinner for Garrett…read more At first, I thought this LOOKED like a great sports bar. Lots of seating, tons of TV's & what appeared to be a decent menu. Then it shifted to screaming "CHEAP"! We sat at the bar as the hostess said the seating was full but it looked FAR from full. It also didn't fill up during the time we were there either. Then I looked closer & many things fell apart. The service was slow, the food was both mediocre and had super small portion size. The draft beer size LOOKED big but in reality it was more like a 12oz pint with a really big mug. It was Taco Tuesday. The Tacos were $3.49/taco, beef or chicken. They were a decent size but virtually tasteless & the meat on both was completely dried out completely. I ordered the house signature wings, xtra saucy ($18.99) for a Pound. They should have been embarrassed by what they turned out! They were exactly opposite to what the menu said. They were TINY & almost devoid of sauce! I'm unclear as to what the obstacle is for saucy wings!? All in all...this is definitely NOT a do over or a recommend.

Review of The Canadian Brewhouse - Kitchener Location…read more Overall Rating: 1 out of 5 stars (Poor/Inedible) Our recent experience at the Kitchener location was extremely disappointing, marked by logistical issues, slow service, and significant quality problems with the food. First Impressions & Seating Upon arrival, the entrance area was poorly managed. With a party of five, there was literally no space to stand while waiting, which created an immediate bottleneck and awkward experience for both our group and others entering/exiting. Service & Drinks Once seated, we ordered drinks promptly. While the Diet Pepsi, Lemonade, and water were fine, the Club Soda was noticeably flat. Our food order took an excessive 45 minutes to arrive, and only after our server proactively checked on the kitchen's status. Food Quality - Major Issues The most critical issue was the quality of the food across multiple dishes. It was unacceptable. Items ordered: Spicy Hickory Burger: WAY overcooked/burnt. The taste of char dominated the flavour. The accompanying fries were the only saving grace. Canadian Burgers with cheese and bacon: The burger itself was burnt, and the bacon was burnt crispy. The sweet potato fries were soggy. Creamy Chicken Alfredo with mushrooms: Minimal chicken (only 1 sliver initially). When a replacement chicken breast was provided, it was burnt. Creamy Chicken Alfredo (no mushrooms): The pasta itself was mediocre ("meh"), but the portion of chicken was generous, receiving the fewest complaints from our party. Chorizo Mac and Cheese (new menu item): Inedible. The flavour was utterly appalling--metallic and burnt, tasting like "dirt sautéed in a dirty pan." I had to spit it out. The pasta also featured pieces of unmelted cheese, indicating poor preparation. We also signed up for the app (before we got our food) to get the free appetizer which was a cheesy garlic bread. We got it with marinara for take home. After you peel off the burned bacon and cheese layer, you're left with a decent pizza dough to dip in decent marinara. Conclusion The pervasive issue of burnt food (affecting three out of five entrées) and the truly inedible quality of the new Chorizo Mac and Cheese indicates a severe breakdown in the kitchen. Combined with the cramped waiting area and slow service, we cannot recommend this location and hope management addresses these fundamental quality control issues immediately. On the bright side, our waitress was nice. We will never eat here again.

Easy to find inside a mall parking lot.... Close parking could be a challenge but it's well worth it. The front entryway is very inviting, with plants and A-frame signs and it's just really, really nice. I was taken to a booth and my server came up momentarily. Got me a water and a Coke, and I ordered the tacos. They normally come with three tacos, but I ordered an extra one. The tacos themselves were very tasty, and I have had authentic Birria tacos before and these were pretty darn close. The dipping sauce was a little thin, but it was just very very tasty. Bottom line? If I'm ever in this area again I am definitely going to come here for dinner. Everything looks and tastes wonderful service was definitely on par, and this would be a great place to watch a game and have a snack.
