“ Amazing food, very flavourful, good proportions. Such a cute spot, away from the noisy town, vibes inside and out side of restaurant. Table service was a little wishy washy got forgotten about a little but when they were there they cared! Love this place definitely be back ”
“ Perfect and delicious. The fried chicken Caesar salad blows my taste buds outta the water every time. Crispy Cajun popcorn shrimp, well that’s a hell yeah brother. The maple butter is excellent, rates as my top favourite Beaver and Bear condiment. Trust me, that’s high praise, especially when it’s up against their bacon jam! They have the best soda pops in town, I love a Cherryade, the kiwi and strawberry surprise, A&W, and best of all, Dr. Pepper. They’ve got a bunch of different Dr. Pep flavours so you’ve got options across the range! I’ll head to Beaver and Bear whenever I’m desperate for an appointment with the Doctor. Plus y’all are just cool ”
“ A rare instance of where every dish we had was amazing! We had the chicken wings, poutine, pretzel bites and perogies. Everything was absolutely delicious. Knocked back the watermelon sours. The only disappointment is that we didn't have room for dessert! Will definitely be back :) ”
“ Hands down the best burgers in NZ! Have been here and ordered takeaways many times and it’s always a 10/10. Also the breakfast poutine is genius ”
“ Wow! What a hidden gem! We loved it. Friendly staff and we were able to easily get a table. We did not have reservations but the staff understood they could turn the table before the next reservation (so many NZ restaurants leave tables sitting empty) and so we were able to enjoy the delicious food. The chicken and waffles were great and the place really felt like a good Canadian restaurant. We will certainly be back! ”
“ Wickedly cool — always feels like we're the most important people dining. The food never disappoints, and the cocktails are amazing. Highly recommend! ”
“ Stopped by for lunch. The staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. Had the honey garlic chicken wings, bacon pierogi, Mac and cheese and the bacon poutine ! Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu. ”
“ What a beautiful Canadian delightful! ???????? $12 wings on a Wednesday and multiple flavours to choose from? Couldn’t be any better. House made ranch was absolutely delicious and paired with the veggies sticks were a nice break from the chicken (since there was quite a lot, good portion!) Burgers also were amazing and had many different yummy options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cute interior that was snuggly. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Couldn’t recommend enough! ”
