St. Jacob’s Farmers’ Market is by far one of the best markets in Ontario and a must-visit for anyone in the Waterloo region. The design of the market is clean, spacious, and very well organized, making it easy to walk through and explore. It’s a large market with an incredible variety of foods, drinks, handcrafted items, antiques, and specialty goods. There’s truly something for everyone here, and it’s the kind of place you can spend hours browsing. What really stands out is the atmosphere – it’s fun, lively, and family-friendly. Families with kids will find plenty of things to enjoy, from watching food being made fresh to sampling delicious treats along the way. The energy of the vendors and the friendliness of the staff make the experience even more enjoyable. Food lovers will not be disappointed. I highly recommend trying the pasta served in a parmesan cheese wheel – rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The fried apples are another must-try, perfectly crispy and sweet. Pair these with a cup of freshly brewed coffee from one of the many stands, and you’ll feel like you’re in food heaven. Beyond the prepared foods, you can also pick up fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and unique handmade products to take home. Overall, St. Jacob’s Farmers’ Market is a wonderful blend of tradition, quality, and community. Highly recommended!

I’ve been to this farm market multiple times, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots. It’s a really nice and popular place where you can find tons of great organic and local products. Honestly, I’m even considering driving here once a month from Toronto just to stock up on veggies. Prices are pretty reasonable, but it’s worth shopping around a bit since some vendors have better deals than others. Most things are sold in larger quantities, which might be tricky if you don’t have much storage space, but the quality is excellent, everything’s super fresh, and it’s hard not to buy everything in sight! Parking can be a bit of a hassle, though. I recommend parking across the street in the antique store’s lot and walking over, it saves a lot of time and stress. Definitely try to avoid weekends and holidays if you can, because it gets very crowded. Here’s a tip: in the last hour or two before closing, many vendors start offering discounts, so you can snag some really good deals. The lineup for the famous apple pie shop is always crazy long, expect to wait 45 minutes to an hour. If you can, go on a weekday or send someone from your group to hold your spot. Food-wise, the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from the Amish ladies’ stand is a must-try. The loaded fries are another favourite, not exactly healthy, but super tasty and big enough to share with 3–4 people. And if you’re driving from Toronto, it’s also worth checking out the antique store across the street. You’ll find lots of cool vintage and one-of-a-kind items there.

St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market is a must-visit destination in the Waterloo region. It is conveniently located and easy to reach by car, with direct access from major city roads. However, despite having a large parking area, finding a spot can still be challenging during peak hours—especially on weekends and market days—so plan to arrive early. The market has a lively, friendly, and authentic community atmosphere. One of the most unique aspects of St. Jacobs Market is the visible presence of the local Mennonite community. Many Mennonite farmers and artisans sell their products here, bringing a charming traditional touch to the market experience. You will often see horse-and-buggy transportation nearby, and many of the vendors offer high-quality, fresh, and handmade goods that reflect the Mennonite values of simplicity, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Product selection is excellent: farm-fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, maple syrup, eggs, handmade crafts, preserves, flowers, clothing, and a variety of specialty foods. Many products are locally sourced, and the quality is consistently impressive. Prices range from reasonable to slightly premium depending on the vendor, but the freshness, artisanal value, and local support make it worthwhile. Overall, St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market delivers a memorable and culturally rich experience. The mix of vibrant crowds, local farmers, and Mennonite heritage creates a uniquely warm and authentic environment. Come early, enjoy the local flavors, and take time to appreciate the traditional community presence. Definitely worth the visit!

Allow yourself lots of time because there's a lot to see and a lot to eat! It was my first time there and it was quite busy, I'm not sure if it's like this all the time but the weather was great and it's a long weekend. Tons of vendors, indoors and outdoors. From fresh fruits, veggies, flowers, baked goods to artistic vendors and your typical trinkets. I wasn't able to try the famous fritters from the market due to waiting too long but we would definitely return. I imagine Fall is beautiful here!

St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market in Kitchener is one of those rare places that perfectly combines tradition, community, and great food. Every visit feels like a little adventure. The market is full of energy — from the friendly local vendors to the smell of fresh baked goods and grilled foods filling the air. It’s not just a shopping trip; it’s a full cultural experience that brings people together. What I love most about this market is the amazing variety. You can find everything from farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats to local honey, handmade crafts, jewelry, and home décor. The baked goods are fantastic — especially the pies, pretzels, and pastries. There are also many international food stalls offering everything from Lebanese shawarma to German sausages. The outdoor area during summer is especially lively, with musicians and extra stands that make it even more enjoyable. The vendors are genuinely friendly and proud of what they sell, which makes the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Prices are fair considering the quality and freshness of the products. Parking is free and well-organized, although it can get busy on weekends, so going early is a good idea. Nearby, you can explore the charming St. Jacobs Village with its small shops and cafés, making the whole trip even better. Whether you go for groceries, breakfast, or just to enjoy a walk, St. Jacobs Market is absolutely worth visiting — a true highlight of the Kitchener-Waterloo region.

If you plan to visit, I’d recommend starting your trip by taking the Waterloo train ride and visiting the charming village of St. Jacobs first. On your way back, stop by the Farmers’ Market , the main red building has plenty of food stalls and local vendors. Many booths are new, so it’s not exactly the old-fashioned local vibe I expected, but still worth a visit. Inside, some Mennonite families run lovely stands , there’s even a big map at the entrance where tourists can pin their home countries, which I found adorable. Definitely try the locally made maple products , pure maple syrup, candies, or butter are great picks! Upstairs, there’s an antique shop that can easily make you lose track of time if you love vintage treasures. Outside, you’ll find more stalls selling produce ,not all of them are local, but if you go later in the day, many vendors offer discounts on fresh fruits and veggies. Don’t forget to grab some farm eggs before you leave! 🥚🍁

Not what it used to be. Only 5 stores open. All the big name shops are no longer there because a huge part of the mall is boarded up and undergoing construction. The whole upstairs area is gone so no fudge or ice cream for me today. 😭😭😭 Feel bad for the remaining stores. There was little to no foot traffic on a Saturday afternoon which should be a busier time. If the remaining stores are what you’re looking for then you may find something you like. Otherwise it’s not worth your time. We were in and out it about 10 minutes. Washrooms at the end of the hall were decently clean though.

Great place to eat. Ask for Arthur. Fantastic service, friendly, quick and attentive. Made our perfect evening even better. Wings were awesome, the crafted beer was excellent and very cold.

Went on a Tuesday, mid June. MAYBE third as many vendors as a Saturday outside. All inside vendors were open. On the PLUS side, lots of easy parking and NOT crowded, easy to move around. Good veggie and plants selection.

Was here a couple of weeks ago with a friend and was hoping for a good shopping experience. As mentioned by other reviewers, the place is under renovations so only 5 shops are open. My friend did not find any deal but I was able to snag quite a few excellent bargains! This, I think, is quite normal for shopping at outlet stores and had nothing to do with whether the store has good bargains. Sometimes we just luck out … to find the right style, right colour, right price… part of the hunting fun!!! Both of us had a good time looking and trying on stuff. I gave this a 4 stars as i do think the place was so much better before when there were lots more stores.

It was better years ago. Many of the best stores are gone now. It's not worth a trip just to shop here, but if you're already in town, you have nothing to lose.

As the name suggests, there must have been an outlet mall in the past, but when we went there just last Saturday, the building was almost empty. Except two stores - one of footwear and the other of ladies clothing - all the other businesses deserted the mall. Also, there was no other customer in either of the stores, and unlike outlets, the prices were high- nowhere near those at outlets. In contrast to the abandoned outlet mall, the farmers' market across the street was swarmed with people. The immense area was bustling with hundreds of vendors selling a variety of items and lots of individuals. No, there is no outlet mall anymore, so if you are looking for one, in order to avoid disappointment, do not be misguided by the name.

Was there on a Saturday. The place was full of people. There's a huge space for parking but finding a spot is a bit tricky. Big market outdoors. Lots of vegetables and fruits. A fantastic experience for weekend trip in the summer.

Conestoga Mall is a major regional shopping centre, one of the largest and most popular malls in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, featuring over 130 stores, services, and restaurants. Overall, Conestoga Mall is a full-service, transit-accessible shopping hub offering retail, entertainment, and community space. Making it a central destination in Waterloo Region for shopping and leisure.

This mall has a somewhat dated feel but still manages to maintain its appeal. The stores are updating their aesthetics, giving the mall a modern look without the flashy designs found in some newer malls.Its always clean and the crowd is modest in volume at its busiest times. The mall offers ample parking suitable for its size and convenient onsite transit options. Additionally, the attached Cineplex is a welcome addition. Overall I think it's a nice Mall for the town.

Always nice coming here. A good spot for food, stores and hanging out. Stores tend to move frequently. But there is abundant parking on all sides of the mall, especially out at the theatre side. Its always empty back there and is the best for finding a spot, even during Christmas season.

Beautiful place to shop. Places to sit when tired. A shop for everything. I found a crystal cross at Saworski. Winter clothing for all family at Winners. Game at Game Stop. Forte Nite T-shirt special made. Lovely Food Court for all tastes. Bathrooms were especially clean! Hudson Bay was nice, but overpriced for my taste. Food court outstanding

I guess it is convenient for the individuals that live up in that direction, but I did not find them to have great prices. The winners was OK, but it is not anything to write home about. I’m not sure I would go again.

Conestoga Mall is a really convenient place to shop and hang out. There’s a good mix of stores, so you can find everything from clothes to electronics in one trip. The food court has a decent variety too, and it’s nice for a quick bite or a casual lunch. It can get a bit busy on weekends but the mall is clean and well laid out so it’s easy to get around. We usually spend a few hours there browsing the stores and sometimes just relaxing with a coffee. It’s not the biggest mall, but it’s comfortable and has everything you need in one spot.

Has expanded a lot from what i know of the mall, that I visited a couple of decades ago. Very nice ambience and some good shop to visit. The food court is very small for a mall. Nice to see that they encouraging or inviting local privately owned restaurants to open up there....

Fun place to hang out at. Got the ice skate ring in winters free of cost. Great food options nearby. Lively location

I was impressed by the beauty of Waterloo ! The streets are very clean and neath. We have a pleasant time there !

Waterloo Public Square is a vibrant urban gathering place in the heart of Uptown Waterloo, Ontario. Opened in 2009, it serves as a hub for community events, festivals, and daily activities. The square is surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions, making it a central point for both locals and visitors. I love this place

The one stop place for all the fun. Weekends and summer activities are always fun and relaxing to attend.

Absolutely loved salsa in the square Thursday nights throughout the summer, such a good turn out of people of all different dancing and skill levels just enjoying the music and dancing the night away.

They did some.nice upgrades this year. There's some good seating with umbrellas and as always it's close to transit and has lots of services. On the winter it'll be an ice rink

Great place to hangout, specially in summer.

One of the best farmers’ markets in the area! I visited on the first Saturday of March, and it was buzzing with activity. Get ready to channel your inner shopping warrior—bring cash and your own bags or carriers for the fresh farmers’ market downstairs. You’ll find high-quality produce at great prices. Once you’re done with the shopping part, head upstairs to explore more local vendors and a cozy food court-style area. There were some really interesting local businesses worth checking out. Bolero’s Juice Corner was absolutely amazing. She makes each cup of juice fresh, right in front of you! I got 1.2 liters—she said it would last up to 7 days, but I finished it way before that! A big thank-you to AP Bakery for the excellent customer service. The guy and lady working there were both incredibly friendly and welcoming. But most importantly, you have to try their bread—it’s addictive. And the pecan pie? That’s my forever go-to. All the businesses I visited there were amazing—great food quality and friendly service. It was definitely worth the visit, no matter where you’re coming from. That said, the market management should work on creating a safer environment for shoppers, customers, and visitors.

First visit, a ton of variety with good value. Fruit stalls are plentiful, snacks, home style bakeries, handmade products/crafts and even LIVE music performers. A great spot !

Outstanding deals on produce in Kitchener Farmers Market. Everything is 3-5 dollars. Buying something for such cheap prices gives you happiness in this expensive world of today.

The Kitchener Market is a true gem in the heart of the city, offering a vibrant and diverse experience for both locals and visitors.

With regular events and seasonal offerings, the Kitchener Market remains a bustling community hub that brings people together, offering both convenience and charm in one spot. Whether you’re a seasoned shopper or just passing through, it's definitely worth a visit!

Super cool spot to check out on a Saturday morning! Great vendors of all kinds. Stock up on your favourite essentials, grab some yummy food and find new faves! The sauces and spices at organic chefs foods are definitely worth the trip, as well as the sushi triangles from Taste of Seoul 😍 Some vendors only take cash, so come prepared but some do take card!

RateKitchener farmer market, you offer a wonderful selection of fresh produce and artisanal goods. The atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming, making it a pleasure to shop. I particularly appreciate the dedication to supporting local farmers and producers. Your commitment to quality and community shines through in every aspect of the market. I would highly recommend visiting.

i looooove the kitchener market it’s so awesome. farmer’s markets are so cool to me and every time i go it almost makes me feel like a kid again hehe. lots of great vendors and food outlets!!! definitely worth a visit (or two, or three, or many!)

I had an amazing lunch at Beertown Public House in Waterloo! The weather was perfect, and sitting on their all-season patio made the experience even better. The atmosphere is lively yet welcoming, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, making it comfortable for all guests. Parking was convenient with free 2-hour spots nearby, and for longer stays, paid options are available The staff were incredibly accommodating. For example, the menu had Fish Tacos, but they happily substituted them with Chicken Tacos for me, and they were delicious! We also ordered a Yucatan Chicken Bowl, a sandwich, and a Caesar Salad, and everything was perfect—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. For families, Beertown is fantastic. They have a kids’ menu with differentoptions. There are also plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-friendly options, including plant-based bowls, burgers, and other mains, so everyone in the group can find something they enjoy. Overall, Beertown Public House offers excellent food, a friendly and accommodating staff, and a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere. Sitting on the patio and enjoying a relaxing lunch made it a perfect outing. Highly recommend!

Good to see so many vegetarian/ vegan options on the menu. Although the taste of the food can be improved especially the main course. Really nice vibes and very friendly staff. Very large variety of beers. Highly recommended place if you are in the area.

the service is always a 10/10! the food is great as well. i would recommend this place to anyone. the atmosphere is great for a night out! my friends and i always get their wings and they’re sooo good :)

I visited the place as a bday dinner with my sister. We ordered calamari as our starters with wings and a Salmon Meal at the end. We had a Blueberry Cider drink, the service, the food and the atmosphere were all amazing. We had our privacy and were also socially involved in the environment. Overall the place is has a very good atmosphere for couple dates, family dinners as well as team meetings.

We had a wonderful lunch on the patio this past Saturday. The tacos were delicious, and our server, Ali, was amazing, so attentive and friendly. It was a perfect outing with my daughter. We'll definitely be back!

Loved our lunch here! Been here a couple of times, and the service and food never disappoint! We sat in the Beer Garden and the vibes were amazing as we got to enjoy music (from another event) and the last bits of summer :)

Been here twice and food never fails! I love it here! 💯💯💯 I love the shrimp rose pasta, guac + chips and their drinks! Definitely will go back! 🤗

We dined at Trio last night and will for sure be back again soon. The restaurant is beautiful, service is incredible and the food is off the charts. The presentation is amazing and ingredients are so well thought out and flavours are perfect. When you first sit down you are given homemade bread with butter which is to die for. The staff who took care of us were so welcoming and helpful. Ben is so knowledgeable with wines and how they pair with the food. Presenting each dish with every ingredient and taste. I loved this restaurant and will come back soon and bring our friends. What a great place . Thank you Trio for a great experience!

We hosted our 25 person private wedding reception at Trio and it was everything we hoped for. From the first conversation with Benoit, planning was easy and we were so excited about our menu options. The food, as expected, was delicious and beautifully presented. The kitchen did an amazing job, especially with accommodating many different allergies. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and we were able to bring in our own decor and music. The service was outstanding, from canapés to dessert, with everyone going above and beyond. Benoit especially deserves a huge thank-you for his attention to detail and care he put into our day. Our guests are still talking about how special the night was. Thank you.

15/10!! Wednesday night themed tasting menu at King Street Trio Uptown was beyond amazing. Definitely the BEST dining experience I’ve had in KW since I arrived 7 years ago. The food was mind blowing and the service was top tier courtesy of Benoit and his incredible team. Everything went above and beyond our expectations. Photos are from July 2 Spanish themed night. The wine pairings were stellar. Think about this place for your upcoming special occasions. 💓

From the minute you walk in, Benoit is continuously and undoubtably the most kind, gracious and empathetic host! Benoit’s wine selection is tailored to your needs AND affordable. Atmosphere is comfortable yet clean and inspiring. Paul and I eat out - at very nice restaurants - all around the world. The quality, care and thought that goes into each dish is cherished in 1. Presentation brings appetite 2. Flavour build. The food is amazing and it should be considered by Michelin. Perhaps more important to us though is the atmosphere and kindness of Benoit and the team. It’s the best restaurant in the region - by a long way. Benoit obviously loves his profession and on top of being so professional he creates a unique, personal experience that makes every evening delicious, glamourous, romantic and exciting.

I tried their Singapore Night menu this Wednesday and was very disappointed with the food. The appetizer salad tasted okay, but the fried tofu in it was cold and had no texture. The lamb skewers also had decent flavor, but the portion was extremely small. At first, I thought the small portion of lamb skewers was because the main course would be more substantial. However, when the main course arrived, I was thoroughly disappointed. It was just a few buttered shrimp, some boiled rice noodles with an incredibly bland sauce, and a single boiled egg. Can a boiled egg and some boiled rice noodles really be considered part of a fine dining experience? This main course felt so careless and completely unworthy of the “fine dining” label. Desert was okay. I originally came because of Trio’s reputation, but I left extremely disappointed. We spent nearly 300 CAD for two people, and honestly, I feel like I could have gotten a much better meal at any Asian restaurants. Maybe their regular menu is better, but as a first-time visitor, this experience was truly disappointing.

Stopped in for an impromptu Friday night dinner on the recommendation of a local friend, and we’re so glad we did. We were warmly welcomed by staff and seated right away despite not having a reservation which was a great start to the evening. The menu is on the smaller side, but it’s well-curated, with unique dishes that feel intentional and refined. They recently swapped out their Wagyu steak for striploin due to the ongoing trade-related sourcing concerns. Disappointing as this may be it was refreshing to see a restaurant make thoughtful, transparent choices like that. Service throughout the night was excellent. Our server, Natalie, was friendly, knowledgeable, and had great recommendations. To start, we shared the Roasted Pork Belly with chimichurri, radish, and apple. It had a nice balance of sweet and savoury, though I would have loved a touch more sweetness to offset the richness, maybe an apple compote would’ve done the trick. Still, a solid 4/5. My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass with peas, asparagus, and fennel in a beurre blanc sauce. The fish was wild, not farmed (a major plus), and very fresh. Beautiful textures and flavours, though it leaned a bit salty for our taste. Not enough to ruin the dish, but enough to notice. A well deserved 4.5/5. I went with the Iberico Pork (Chop), paired with red pepper jam, Brussel sprouts, and sauce vierge. Cooked to perfection and bursting with flavour. The sprouts even had a hint of sweetness, which paired nicely. Only small issue was the amount of oil left on the plate. It worked out for me since I used the remaining focaccia to soak it up, but worth noting. 4.5/5. Speaking of focaccia, WOW! Probably the best I’ve had. Fresh, warm, crunchy crust, and incredibly flavourful. Served with a side of cream cheese with a touch of honey, and black pepper. It was just a fantastic sweet/savoury combo but not even needed since the focaccia was amazing by take! Easy 6/5. Worth going back for this alone. We ended with the Chocolate Crémeux with pistachio crumble, feuilletine, and pistachio ice cream. The cremeux was almost too rich on its own, but perfectly balanced once you get everything in one bite. Creamy, crunchy, not overly sweet. It was an ideal way to finish the meal. 5/5. They were kind enough to bring a palette cleanser after we had finished everything. Ours was a hazelnut biscotti. It was a nice, crunchy way to end our evening while waiting for the cheque. Overall, this place lives up to the hype. Their current 4.7-star rating is spot on. Great food, warm atmosphere, and genuinely thoughtful service. We’ll definitely be back.

Wine tasting meal plan all selected by the chef and worth everything. Delish doesn’t begin to describe the combinations of unique flavours that I would never have selected on my own. And the wine!!!! And the service!!!! Omg every single person working together for the tables not just one server. Like an exquisite ballet of a well organized team. Can’t say enough about our experience there. They get better every year. Highly recommend.

The bourbon chicken is not that much delicious but worth going out of your way to try. The problem with this location — I'm not sure about other locations, as I've never experienced this problem with the only other one that I've been to — is that they start making preselected, discounted plates at around 5:30 PM. Considering that the location closes at 9:30 PM, and when they start making said plates is the time that most people are getting dinner on their way home, you either get a combination that you may not like or end up not eating here altogether. In overall the food is okay to try....

Bourbon has been a very long-running Chinese fast food chain in Conestoga Mall. It has been there ever since I was a pre-teen. I am now 26. As such, I am already well accustomed to its inconsistent quality. But if you're ever able to snag a freshly made batch of meats and veggies, it's quite honestly one of the best Chinese fast food you'll ever eat. It absolutely beats the other Chinese place on the other side of the food court. The food is so flavorful that you can even smell it from just outside the mall! I don't have any recent food pics from there, but I attached some fairly old ones, I'm talking more than 10 years ago! It's just a shame that inflation happened and now a 3 item meal costs $17 I remember the days when it was only $10.

For prices that somehow jumped over $20, there was a respectable serving, and we were kindly served with plenty of chicken. Intriguing and appetizing flavours (but there are superior alternatives). The service is wonderful, God bless the two ladies who were working this Friday.

We went to the Conestoga Mall’s Bourbon St Grill on a weekend afternoon. They had a small line, but it went by very quickly. We got two Combo 1 ($11.69+tax) which includes rice/noodles, 1 meat and 1 veggie. For the first one we got noodles, corn and the bourbon chicken. For the vegetarian one we got the noodles with zucchini and corn. We personally think the noodles are better than the because it is more flavourful. If you get the rice, we recommend that you ask for a sauce on top (the bourbon sauce if you like it sweet). The chicken is always the star of the show for us, it is sweet, soft and juicy. The corn wasn’t very good though, it wasn’t sweet and it was a bit mushy. We would recommend the broccoli instead or other vegetables. Tip: You get a small discount if you pay in cash.

Busy day we stopped by seeing the people lined up thought they might have changed their menu. Big mistake flavourless. Customer service down the hill. No need to mention. It’s ok it’s a take out fast food but no need to be disrespectful towards customers!

One of my favourite place to eat. Staff is very friendly and taste of their food is yum. 🫶🏻

Lovely staff. Great portion. The food was exactly what I wanted from a mall food court :))

Husband ordered the double smash burger with side poutine with pop and added a classic Quebec poutine for myself. $30 for our purchase. The burger was one patty broken in two. I questioned it and the cashier said "that's just how we make them, one patty smashed on the grill and cut in two." She discussed with the cook and confirms thats just how they make a double smash patty. OK, that's misleading. Poutine gravy was ok probably premade/powder mix. Fries were gross, overcooked and the oil needs to be changed. Same amount of curds on the side poutine as on the full sized. I was also gifted a black hair, from the cook, in my poutine. (Husband is blonde and I'm a redhead so its not ours) It was a staggering 40 minute wait for this meal. The server forgot my husband's pop which was supposed to be included with his "double smash burger combo". Cashier/server unwilling to fix issues or offer refund.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant for an early Saturday dinner at 4 pm. Their online menu is mobile friendly and very easy to navigate and read; same applies to their in-house menu. The restaurant is licensed to serve alcohol. There is lots of free parking in the adjacent lot. We were a bit surprised because this is not a service restaurant and more like a fast food restaurant. You place your order at the window, pay, then staff gives you a numbered marker to help identify you when your order is ready. The interior of the restaurant is very unclean; the floor is greasy, our table was not cleaned and even had food in the grooves of the table. The door window was so dirty you could hardly see out of it, the window sills hadn't been cleaned in weeks if not months, cob webs were on the outside windows and there was a thick layer of dust on top of the ceiling vents; needless to say, cleanliness is not their forte. We opted to sit inside but we can only imagine how dirty the picnic tables are outside in the outdoor, covered, eating area. We were able to see partially into the kitchen and it looked relatively clean, thank goodnes. The benches and back rest are plywood and very uncomfortable. Our table even had nails sticking out of them on the trim which were very sharp and my wife scratched her arm; staff didn't really seem to care and/or understand as she said she would clean it up??? Food is served in takeout containers with plastic forks; not on plates and with stainless steel cutlery. The ribs were outstanding. Very well cooked; moist and well seasoned and the apple bbq sauce was delicious and not overly sweet like most BBQ sauces. They don't have any wet wipes for the ribs so you need to exit the restaurant and go into the antique mall to use the washroom to wash up. The house coleslaw was bland and lacked seasoning. The fries were perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious. The smashburger combo was also very good. The burger was tasty, well seasoned and a perfect size. They only have processed cheese for their burgers so we opted for no "cheese". This combo comes with a poutine and drink. The fries in the poutine were great as well, the cheese curds were tasty but the gravy tasted like a canned run of the mill gravy. We like that they have Bubly as an option for drinks as we dont like pop. The decor is a mish-mash of supposed Canadiana but it didn't make much sense and could do with an update. So the question is would we return? We would not go to the restaurant to eat but we would order takeout as the food was good value for the money and tasted quite good.

If you're looking for the ultimate fry experience in Waterloo, Crazy Canuck is a must-try. I recently ordered their fresh-cut fries with customized toppings, and it was absolutely worth it! This is not your average fast-food poutine or fry box — it's fresh, flavorful, and filling. Definitely recommend it for a quick lunch or a snack with a twist!

This place is a gem in KWC. The best chicken burger I ever had in this city. Loved the friendly environment, the ambience and good old memories of all the Canadian comic art.

The place looks inviting from outside! There is country music playing. It looks like a proper barbecue place ( low and slow Texas style) In fact the food is terrible! Fries were over cooked! Also, looks like it’s an old oil. I ordered the brisket. It was chewy and terrible! I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone to eat in here. This place is just across from Saint Jacobs market, which is amazing with plenty of food options . It was my first time in this place, and I don’t know if somebody changed the owners or anything like it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with all the options available around this area.

Was looking forward to trying this place out! Atmosphere was inviting, price is pretty average, portion size are on the small side, flavor was good. Unfortunately would not go back. Service was nonexistent besides taking orders. Wait time was almost twice as long as estimated. Thankfully the food was flavorful, we got the burger special, just wasn't filling/much food, ended up making another stop to get lunch

Loved my first time here for their 2 piece fish n chip special!
