KookyCanuck is a restaurant in Downtown Memphis serving burgers, poutines, and sandwiches in a spacious dining room featuring maple leaf decor and wooden furnishings. The establishment operates at two locations and is known for its generous portion sizes.
The restaurant opened in 2005 under the name Big Foot Lodge before changing to its current name KookyCanuck. This transition marked a shift in branding while the kitchen maintained its approach to large serving sizes.
