Moxies Kenaston Restaurant fits solidly into the bar & grill scene of Winnipeg, offering a sit-down dining experience that balances casual comfort with a slightly refined edge. Located on Kenaston Boulevard, the venue feels fresh and updated, matching the area's evolving vibe with a décor that is modern without being flashy. It’s the kind of place where you can drop in for a laid-back weeknight dinner or mark a special occasion without the formality of fine dining.

The menu leans into approachable bar & grill classics with some thoughtful twists—options like the Lettuce Wraps and Chipotle Mango Chicken bring a bit of brightness to the table, while the variety runs from hearty burgers and ribs to lighter salads like the Thai Chicken and Chimichurri Steak. Vegetarians aren’t left out either, with choices such as the Beyond Meat Burger. This variety makes it a spot that works well for groups with different tastes looking to share a relaxed meal.

From timing and crowd flow, evenings seem to carry the liveliest energy, especially on Fridays with their 1/2 Price Tequila offering, which draws a younger, social crowd looking to unwind. The music volume tends toward the louder side, creating an upbeat atmosphere—good for buzz but sometimes a bit much if you’re after quiet conversation.

Service here appears to be a mixed bag. While many visits include warm, attentive interactions and thoughtful touches—like memorable birthday celebrations or personal greetings—there have been occasions when dishes took longer to arrive, especially during busier hours. That said, the quality of food usually steps up to make a solid impression despite occasional waits.

Overall, Moxies Kenaston is a reliable spot for locals who want diversity in their dining without straying too far from familiar comfort foods. It fits well for casual dinners with friends, family celebrations, or a spirited night out with cocktails. Midweek or early evenings likely offer a more relaxed pace, while Fridays and weekends bring a more energetic bar scene to life.

It looked like the place was newly renovated, so the ambience/vibe was really pleasant. This chain consistently delivers great and high quality food for reasonable price but the service has always been hit and miss. It took almost 40 minutes for our lettuce wrap and beef dip to arrive after devouring the great calamari appies. Aside from the slow service, will be back again as it’s one of the most convenient go to places for me to get affordable and quick bites if I don’t feel like cooking.

I had a wonderful experience during my recent visit, and it is easily one of the places I would return to. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, modern, and inviting. The space has a comfortable energy that works well for both a casual meal and a more elevated night out. It felt pleasant without being noisy, and the environment made the entire visit enjoyable. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and patient, and they checked in at the right moments without making the experience feel rushed. They offered helpful suggestions, answered questions about the menu, and made sure that everything was taken care of in a smooth and professional way. The food was delicious and very well prepared. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and thoughtfully presented. The flavors were balanced, the portions were reasonable, and the overall quality was consistent. I also enjoyed the cocktails, which were refreshing and mixed with care. They added a nice touch to the evening. Overall, my visit was a very positive experience. The food, service, and atmosphere came together perfectly. I would gladly return and highly recommend it.

Moxies Kenaston did a fabulous job in hosting us there for my day. My friends planned a surprise birthday celebration for me at Kenaston and they gave us a wonderful experience all throughout from the atmosphere of the restaurant to the quality of the food served to the amazing customer service. We came here first back in September to celebrate one of our friend’s citizenship ceremony and has left a warm mark in our heart to return to this place. It definitely feels homely and the staff always make sure to provide excellent customer service. We tried the handheld short rib and its 10/10, spicy tuna sushi was 10/10 and definitely a lot more. Ramen could have been made better. We were taken care by Alexis and the Manager on Duty - Dennis. They both were excellent and was very friendly and made sure we left with a smile. A must try is the mango mule drink and it was amazing. Thank you Moxies and staff behind the scenes and Managers Tina and Dennis for having us at Moxies Kenaston and giving us the best experience. Hats off to Alexis as she hosted us the first time and did an amazing job. Hats off to Dennis in making sure we are served the best and for making my birthday memorable. Cheers, Alvin

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this place? The food is absolutely amazing! The service is outstanding! And the atmosphere is just such a vibe! We went there for my mom’s birthday, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! We were greeted and sat right away at our table, and then we found a birthday card signed by all the servers. That just melted my mom’s heart! We got the Lettuce Chicken Wraps and Sweet Potato Fries as appetizers, and they tasted amazing. Then, for the main course, we got the Chicken Tenders, Chicken Alfredo, Grilled Chicken Zen Bowl, and of course, my absolute favourite, the Blackened Chicken Burger. Everything tasted divine! And our server, Matt, was an amazing server! Please, that guy needs a raise; he was very polite, helpful, and it was nice to see him after a very long time! Well done, Matt! Thank you, Moxies Kenaston, for another amazing dining experience. I promise I’ll be back for more!

The food and the service was very amazing. We always really enjoy the chipotle mango chicken! For the atmosphere, I found the music a bit too loud.

The foods were amazing. Great portion, very tasty. We came during happy hour, so the food was cheaper but the size per portion was still good. The food came very fast. The staff members were very welcoming and helpful.

I really enjoyed my visit to this restaurant! The tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the cocktails were perfectly made — so tasty and refreshing. But the real star of the night was the mocha pie — absolutely incredible, rich, and unforgettable. I’ll definitely be coming back!
