Moose Winooski’s

Wow! This is a true sports bar! Tvs everywhere even in the washroom! They have a tiki bar at the patio with Tvs too! This place is awesome!

great food the hamburger and the fries are good thank to our server i not know her name we will back again

I enjoy taking friends & family out for dinner at Moose Winooskis, it’s been a presence in Kitchener as long as I can recall. Delightful experiences.

Great food and a really fun place to come. We often bring our out of town friends. Fish and chips, burgers and wings are especially good. Reasonable prices and good portions. Staff at times could be friendlier depends on when you come.

Went there for an early supper to avoid a lineup. Ordered the kids fish and chips-​my son enjoyed it. I ordered mild wings that were actually mild this time and tasty. Tried the mac and cheese and it seemed more like a soup and not worth the almost $ 15 price. Took half home. The garlic bread that came with it was underdone but not bad. Servers switched and the new one didn’t tell me her name or why the first one disappeared, but she was pleasant enough.

Great street appeal so I thought I would give it a try, food was ok, bartender very rude. Won’t go there again.

There is nothing more appealing on a hot summer evening than having dinner and drinks on the patio.
It is just as good as when I was a kid, just in a different way. They’ve kept the old bar and continued the woodsy feel into the main restaurant. The walls are covered in fake moose faces. The bathroom counters have TVs so you don’t miss a second of the game. You can open or close the blinds of your booth.
It’s a tradition to come here on your birthday, spin the wheel, wear the antler hat and get a pie in the face.
The service is good and waiters don’t hover. They are friendly and help with selection.
The (buffalo) chicken tenders are arguably the best thing on the menu. Brushetta is good too. My friend and I shared the potatoes with cheesy macaroni. Not what we expected. They were literally two whole potatoes cut in half. Not cheesy delicious. A whole meal essentially. The food is hit or miss. Price is decent, medium.

Meh… mediocre food. Really loud in there so don’t plan on having a conversation with anyone except the person next to you. My Chipotle chicken sandwich was a pre-​fabricated patty and not seasoned. The spicy Chipotle sauce was the only thing that gave it flavor. The spicy Asian salad dressing was good. Okay service. Cool décor. Food needs some help.

Stopped in for Boxing Day dinner with my wife’s family. We had a great server, who actually told us the Panko bacon appetizer was delicious but not a good value, and suggested we try the spinach dip instead. We absolutely loved it! Nice and garlicky.
Also ordered a couple of Tankhouse Ale’s from a micro brewery in Toronto. I already knew the beer was good, but what happened next was outstanding. The bartender stopped over with a pitcher that was a third full. He said they had just changed the keg, and had this beer that was going to be dumped down the drain, but since we were the only people drinking the Tankhouse, wanted to know if we’d like it. It was a small thing but very indicative of the kind of service we received tonight.
The food was fantastic! I had a burger with back bacon (and since I live in the US and only get back bacon when we visit Canada, I was VERY happy) Everyone else loved their food, and my sister n law was particularly impressed that the server told us that the nacho she ordered was huge, and suggested we order the smaller portion. She was right… even the smaller one was too much food.
If you’re in Kitchener, check this place out. They have a menu that has a lot of different kinds of food, so everyone has a couple of choices no matter what kind of food they want.
Reservations are accepted but only for groups of 10 or more.

This can be either a two star or five star review depending on what your after. Main point is that is is loud busy and full of distractions.
First off they have wall to wall TVs and each one set to a different channel, so if your distracted easily it can be a problem
Secondly is the volume, generally not a problem for me but the one companion was super quiet and was hard to hear.
Food, unfortunately I forgot my glasses so my wife had to make the choice. Generally speaking the food is really good.
Overall a great place under the right circumstances.

I love the Moose. Wings, ribs, tv’s and beer. Awesome bar area and a big patio. They have a non-​smoking patio as well which is nice!

We just ordered 14 wings at Moosewinoskis and the experience was a hit and miss. Usually the wings here are of a large size and well done. Tonight they were a little off the mark.
Usually we wouldn’t say anything but we really felt that the experience tonight was poor when it came to the delivery of our food, so we mentioned it to our waitress and the manager came out and apologized for the experience and they offered us another set of wings for the road. We accepted and felt that the situation was handled in a fair manor. I’ve now changed this review from a 4 star to a 5 star.
Thanks for being receptive to our experience.

I’ve been to Moose’s probably ten times now but never took the time to properly review it. For those that aren’t familiar, this is a small chain of three restaurants owned by the same restaurant group that operates Beertown and Wildcraft. It is a Canadian themed restaurant, and a bit over-​the-​top at that, but the staff is friendly and the décor is pleasant and inviting in the dining room. The bar is a sea of televisions and a bit overwhelming.
The menu is pretty large and takes a while to digest, and they serve you dishes full of peanuts while you make up your mind. The beer list is decent with a large number on tap. The bar itself is huge with a central bar surrounded by seating, and there are TV’s everywhere with just about every type of sport represented. If you’re a sports fan, then this is a good thing, and if you’re a businessman looking to have a decent dinner with stuff to look at and keep you occupied, then this is your place.
The food is all good, with all the local favorites represented. I’ve had sandwiches, salads, and entrees and haven’t had a bad meal, but nothing really stuck out as special either. The last few times I’ve visited, it’s been after working late and I’ve stuck with their big salads and a couple beers, at the bar. The bartenders are all quite nice and happy to serve you a meal there.
The prices are pretty typical and while as an American I think the beer is outrageously priced, it seems to be the going rate around here. The food is reasonable and the portions are good sized, but not too large, so you don’t come out stuffed.

Great atmosphere, only
Reason not a 5 because they forgot my order when in a group.

I wasn’t sure what sort of beer/​cider/​mixed drink to get, so I asked for a drink menu. The bartender informed me, between sips of her own drink, that they don’t have any drink menus due to the fact that they’re getting new ones. I don’t know why they wouldn’t keep the old ones until the new ones were ready, but apparently Moose Winooski’s, which is in large part a BAR, has been without a drink menu for some time.
My husband got a couple beers on tap, and I got a vodka soda. My drink was fine, but my husband was feeling sick before we left, and I didn’t feel great after having a few sips of his beer. I obviously can’t say with certainty that it was due to the beer, but it did make me feel concerned. The service from our waiter was good, and there were no issues with the food, so I’m giving two stars for that.
The weirdest thing about all of this was that two days after our visit, I got a social media connection request from a senior member of the staff. As I was the person who paid, I can only assume that this staff member took my name from the credit card receipts and then looked me up. I think this is inappropriate.

Stopped in for dinner tonight and it was good, just not amazing. I had a soup and an appetizer and the food arrived in a timely manner and the server was friendly (but does Canada not have unsweetened iced tea anywhere?). The food was tasty, but nothing special. Overall it was a nice dinner.

I used to go to University in the KW area and I recall visiting Moose when I first moved up in 2004 and wasn’t overly impressed. Fast forward to 2013 and I still go back to KW to visit a couple of friends who’ve stayed behind for work and after hearing about how amazing it now was since the renovation (and that it was playoffs and we wanted to watch the leaf game) our group ventured over.
If you couldn’t guess by the name this place has traditional Canadiana written all over it. Designed like the best cabin style cottage you’ve ever been to in the Muskoka or Kawartha area, it’s basically every Canadian stereotype you could hope for in one central location!
They have a really great patio complete with a huge center bar, plenty of televisions and even little fire pits throughout + bar area has over 30 televisions! Sadly, as it was the first time the Leafs had made the playoffs in 9 years the popular spots were packed and my group of 10 was relegated to a table in the main dining room.
We ordered a variety of menu items, but most notably we shared an order of their apparently famous chicken wings. For my entrée I asked for the ribs. The wings weren’t the best I’ve ever had but not the worst either (3 star), the ribs were pretty good (again nothing ventured, nothing lost).
Earned this place a 4^th star was their birthday traditions which we bestowed upon one of our more conservative buddies whose birthday was a mere few days away at this point. After speaking to the host on a trip to the «bathroom» we orchestrated a stellar prank which involved a moose antler helmet, and a birthday song which then promptly ended with a whipped cream pie in the face via sneak attack! People from all over the restaurant had watched this happen and folks were chuckling about it even as we were leaving!
Full points on décor, theme, layout and staff, Food could be a touch better in my opinion, however I would definitely visit this place when you’re in the Kitchener area!

Again disappointed !!! Big time!
Wings are very bad and I am very nice when I am saying this. Fried calamari very very bad, to much batter and to salty.
I am not sure why I keep going there, but I promise that was my last.

I saw many families with kids dining on a Friday evening. I liked the whole moose theme. You can choose to sit at tables or at booths. The tablecloth is a big, white paper, so you can play games or draw stuff on it as you wait for food. They offer sandwiches, burgers, steaks and more.
We ordered a Mediterranean hamburger that came with salad; and a pulled pork sandwich stuff and fries with gravy and cheese. We shared food and we were full by the end of the meal. That day, they had this contest to give out prizes so we even filled that out. Overall, we had a good experience at this restaurant.

On first arrival it was jammed. People waiting outside. It was a Friday night and my family arrived around 8:30pm. The hostess was very friendly and so was the waitress. After only a 15 min wait we were able to be seated. They have car seat holders.
It was so loud I could barely hear my husband across the table or the waitress but it didn’t really bother me because she was so attentive and memorized our order.
The food was delicious. Ribs were what they claimed they are known for and I would have to agree. The wings were delicious too. We had tequila lime and honey garlic. Overall a great experience.
