Canadian Restaurants in Waterloo, ON

“Great meal, great service! Thanks Avery for taking care of us!“

“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!“

“Incredible atmosphere! Great service by Laura! Didn’t love the menu, but loved the KW Ciders! Will be back.“

“The waitress was friendly, prompt and helpful There were four of us there for lunch; all of us enjoyed our food; especially the Parmesan french fries and the California spring salad. Silly but we were glad you have more than two stalls in the bathroom. Good location with plenty of parking.“

“We invited our friends to join us at Kelsey's for dinner last evening, just to celebrate life. The whole evening was quite wonderful, even though it's a sports bar and was fairly noisy. The food was great, lots of selection on the menu and we enjoyed all of it. The only suggestion I would have for the wait staff is to make sure there is enough time between the appetizer and the main course. We felt quite rushed and did not have time to finish our shared appetizer before the dinners arrived, even though I had specifically asked to have enough time. Other than that, I would come back again. It was a fun evening.“

“Food was so amazing! Service was great! We will be back for sure!“

“Awesome spot, fantastic service :)“

“This is a great option for a good quality, sit-down meal on campus. The staff had some struggles understanding the drink orders and requests resulting in an incorrect drink order and quite a lot of time consulting with their co-workers to fix. They could use extra training on the menu as well. Even though it was a set menu they didn't have answers ready about the meal. Eg. What vegetables are with this? I think a little more training for the staff would have made this a 5-star experience as it was a delicious meal with great value on campus.“

“Naz just hosted a great night for our fantasy hockey league meetup for the Canada vs US game. Great food, setup and all that.“

“stopped by Sunset Grill in Waterloo last weekend, and wow—what a great find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better.

The food? Absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, so whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a lighter, healthier bite, there’s something for everyone. I went with the pancakes and home fries, and they were cooked perfectly—golden, fluffy, and exactly what I needed to start my day.

What really stood out was the consistency—everything tasted fresh, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where families, friends, and even solo diners can feel right at home.“
