Come savor a delicious creation at The Leeky Canoe. Their atmosphere has been described as casual. Come sit at the bar with a cocktail. They are open late all week. You can get there by car and public transit and may pay by Visa and MasterCard.
Local pub with small-town feel but a huge atmosphere. Well priced, diverse soul food menu, friendly staff, cottage-rustic vibe and a nice selection of beer.
We went on Wednesday Wing night and it was packed by 5:30 with a short line-up to get in. They had a table for us right away in a nice location. One of us wanted wings and asked if there were any dry-rubbed flavours, as there didn't appear to be any on the menu. To our delight they had a dry Cajun flavour that was excellent. Wings themselves were large and meaty and the vegetables that came with them were just enough and freshly cut. All of which was served with a generous stack of napkins and wet-wipes.
The other ordered the aptly named "Long-Weekend Burger" complete with cheddar & Swiss, sautéed mushrooms & caramelized onions and opted for sweet-potato fries as a side for an additional cost. (I don't know about you, but whenever there's a "long-weekend" in my circle there's always bacon involved ~ but they had another burger with some on it) The burger itself was huge, juicy, and did not have a lot of added flavouring allowing the true taste of the beef to come through. This allowed the flavour to be somewhat customized with the good selection of condiments delivered to the table. Freshly cut tomatoes & red onion topped it under a nice Kaiser roll. Sweet potato fries were plentiful, crisp, long and lightly dusted with sea salt to be complimented by white or malt vinegar and/or their own house dip.
Beers were served in a frosted glass, which compelled us to have more than one ~ otherwise this would be in the $11-25 range!
Bathrooms were clean and adequate. House was well-kept. The only gripe we had was the dim lighting which made it hard to read the Trivial Pursuit cards at each table (which were a very nice touch, even though they were obviously an older US edition!)
It's rare to have a great dining experience in such a packed house. Overall this was a great meal and it will likely become a default destination if we can't decide where else to try.
Local pub trying to feel like a chain restaurant?
This place seemed promising and the staff are friendly and efficient - but the atmosphere and food was reminiscent of your "family" chain eateries.
Boring beer selection and no nuance or subtlety to the food flavours - and then kind of expensive (for what it is) to boot.

It was a very busy evening (we were there early) - dinner was a bit slow -even the appetizer. The food was very good and service great. We always split our appetizer and main course... the staff helped & provided every service - right on.

I had just finished waxing my back and wanted to relax with a great meal and I had heard of the Leeky canoe but had never been in. What a great little restaurant. I will be back when my back heals.

This is one of the best places I've visted in my travels. I would absolutely visit this place again, which I hope I do soon. The food was actually one of the best I've had (Im from NY, tons of restaurants). I would recommend this restaurant to everybody, and I have!
