Tucked away in a sunken downtown office building, this hidden gem is a great place to hang out and have the best poutine in the region. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. They have a courtyard that makes the restaurant feel very unique to other places for pub grub and a beer. Their poutine is always consistently delicious at both locations. This time we finally had the opportunity to try their fries straight from the kitchen as opposed to waiting for delivery since the pandemic started!

Very comfy atmosphere, not too busy on a Thursday afternoon. Food was excellent and portions were very generous with lots of meat. Had to take the rest home to finish! It was like a meal for two for everything.

Amazing food! I recommend the Crazy Canuck poutine. The employees are friendly. The food takes a while, but they have board games you can play while waiting for the food.

Awesome experience at the Crazy Canuck! They were able to host our volleyball team for our team lunch on short notice and was able to handle our order and get us on our way for our tournament. Thanks to awesome staff for making it happen! -6UP Gravity Volleyball

My initial review was a year ago but we visited tonight right before the comedy show at 7. We had a minor hiccup but it was addressed by the owner with kindness. Definitely a stand up guy and a 10/10 for the way it was handled. We still highly recommend this place the pulled pork and brisket is unreal. Initial review: Easily one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten in my life!! Absolutely worth the stop here we will be back to work our way through the menu!
