“We cannot say enough about our experience at Pepe and Lela’s tonight. We almost cancelled because of the snow but thankfully we didn’t because it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food is all house-made, authentic and absolutely delicious. Our server, Amanda was literally the best. She was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. It is so refreshing to go out for a meal and enjoy every minute of the entire experience. Everyone should try this gem- you won’t be disappointed.”

“The Cherry House never disappoints. Michael and his team deliver impeccable service in an elegant yet comfortable setting—fine dining without the pretense. We started with a crisp Caesar salad (the only one I've ever had that I can say compete with my father's - even Dad agreed) and a beautifully balanced Caprese salad with the freshest basil, both savoury and well-executed. Even the bread and butter were exceptionally phenomenal—a simple yet telling detail of the kitchen’s commitment to quality. For mains, the halibut was perfectly tender, the rack of lamb with scallops rich and flavourful, and the filet mignon flawlessly cooked with a peppercorn sauce that was absolute perfection. Each dish showcased precision and top-quality ingredients, all complemented by a bold, complex 2013 Brunello Monticiano. A silky crème brûlée and expertly crafted Spanish coffees was the ultimate indulgence to finish this exceptional meal. Consistently outstanding—sophisticated, polished, and always worth returning to.”

“Great atmosphere. Great service. Exceptional food. We were group of 5 and were the last table in the restaurant. We ordered gnocci, pesto penne, bruscheta, Sophia and fungi pizza. Everything was superb but the gnocci sauce and Sophia were the ultimate dishes.
For the sitting, we had the hightable near the bar that had view of the whole bar and the kitchen that added a star to the experience. Highly recommed the place.”

“Booked our meal through open table and listed that the dinner was for an anniversary.
Fish cake and soup were good appetizers. Scallops with risotto and mushrooms were good. Lamb shank was perfectly cooked but I wasn't accustomed to the Moroccan spices. Cheesecake was very nice but too much added sugar ( sauce on the plate, raspberry sauce, powdered sugar and candied lemon. Device was attentive.
Disappointed we didn't get any anniversary acknowledgement.”

“We had one of the best dinners we’ve ever eaten at this restaurant, and we are foodies so that is saying something. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere and ambiance was intimate and classy. But let’s talk about the FOOD! Ugh! I splurged and tried the certified A5 Kobe, and it did not disappoint! It was incredibly buttery, tender, and perfectly cooked to temp, I couldn’t get enough. We’ve been to Japan and had A5 Kobe and Wagyu, and this was right up top with the cuts we had there. The sides were nothing short of phenomenal! We also had the sushi assortment with maki, nigiri and sashimi and it was mouth watering. I wish we lived right next door to this place, but I guess it’s better for my wallet that we don’t. If you’re considering eating here, DO IT!”

I know it’s hard to take your family out sometimes and sometimes you share what you all have. But how they treated us so amazing with sharing the meal with my family of 4, and we only ordered 2 meals. And the waitress was so amazing because my kids really wanted tot try the ice cream but it wasn’t in the budget… but she saw how bad they wanted it and gave it to them on the house. I’m telling you now I will be coming here a lot more.”

“Absolutely outstanding spot. Jus Jerk has become a weekly tradition for my colleagues and me, and it never disappoints.
The food quality is consistently top-tier — perfectly seasoned, full of flavour, and clearly made with care every single time. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh, and everything tastes exactly the way great jerk should.
What really sets Jus Jerk apart is their efficiency and customer care. Even during busy periods, orders are handled quickly without sacrificing quality. The team is organized, friendly, and genuinely appreciative of their customers, which makes the experience that much better.
If you’re looking for authentic jerk with incredible flavour, fast service, and people who truly care about their craft, Jus Jerk is the place. Easily one of the best food spots in Burlington — highly recommended.”

Indian • $
“We were in the mood for some Indian food and decided to try this place as we had never heard of it before. We tried the lentil soup, butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala, along with the chicken samosas and garlic chili naan. The food was absolutely stellar! Probably the best lentil soup and tikka masala I’ve ever had. Service was very kind and friendly. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the atmosphere in their modest dine-in space. They only just opened a dine-in area recently (they were predominantly a takeaway) so I’d cut them a bit of slack. There’s a tv on the wall but it was off. No music. It was so quiet we could hear other people chewing across the room. Play some music, and offer ice for the lukewarm water, and this place would be 5 stars. Give them a try!”

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people who work here, the cooks, the atmosphere (when indoor dining is allowed), and of course the food. The waitress who works here, I don’t know her name, but she is absolutely amazing. She is just THE sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She restores my faith in humanity everytime I come here. The food is always incredible, always tasty, fresh and full of flavour. There’s a handful of vegan options, the onion bhajis are my absolute favourite and I have the utmost faith and trust in Prince Of India when it comes to the knowledge of food restrictions, they ask how spicy you want your dish (mild, medium or spicy) and they really do give great sized portions. You even get a discount on your meal when you dine in, which is such a nice bonus. I recommend Prince Of India to everyone I talk to, quite literally. If you’re looking for authentic food, and even further, authentic people, this is the place.”

“Visited on August 8th and had a really great experience overall!
The food was amazing — everything was fresh and delicious. We did have a bit of an issue where our order took quite a long time, but the staff handled it so well. They were kind enough to let us take the food home without charging us, which we really appreciated, especially for an all-you-can-eat place.
A special shoutout to JC or Jassy, our waiter — he was incredible. So kind, generous, and genuinely attentive. He was also very knowledgeable about the menu and helped guide us through everything, which made the experience even better.
Despite the delay, the way everything was handled and the quality of service really stood out. Would definitely come back!”

“Jersey’s is a Burlington staple. Amazing wings, incredible fresh cut fries, huge sandwiches, massive loaded nachos. Best portions in the city especially considering the price. The pool hall is awesome and it’s the best venue for live music in Burlington 🔥”

“Made a last minute decision to get fish'n chips on Christmas Eve and a few of the Milton options were closed, so ventured over to Thisle for the first time.
First interesting thing was placing my order for pickup. I honestly though I was speaking to an AI bot. The experience was positive, but I assume English was not their first language and they had a slight robotic tone, so it threw me off when I met the guy in person, who was quite busy but still very courteous.
The food portions were adequate for the price, but more important was the taste was above average - and this is coming from my family that are Brits who love their fish n chips. So it looks like Thisle will be one of our new first choices.”
Korean • $$
“Went for the 3rd time today. This is going to be my go to fried chicken place! They make great Korean fried chicken (sometime I want to try something else, but I can’t get past the chicken ;) ). Also, really great service (shoutout to Chris). Read reviews and someone gave this place a one star review for food, service and atmosphere because they closed the kitchen a little early… not merited IMO. Life happens, but they make good food and have good service. Small places like this rely on reviews and an unmerited 1 start does real damage.”

Chicken Shop • $$
“Probably a 3.5 Star experience, but I rounded up because I was feeling nice.
The service was average (3 star) and there was room for improvement. Servers stay off your phones, don't hover around tables when you have nothing to do, and it would go a long way to have someone seat you at a table instead of the bartender yelling across the dining room to go sit anywhere.
Food was also average (3 star) as the chicken sandwich was good, the side of fries were absolutely inedible. Frozen crinkle cut fries that were still hard in the middle and greasy on the outside with absolutely no crisp. It was as if they put the fries in oil at a low temperature and pulled them out way too early. And the gravy was more in line with an au jus than a thick gravy you can dip into. You can see that the focus is definitely on the sandwiches and chicken. Also had the Deep Fried Deviled Eggs as an app, and I would say they helped you keep out of the two star rating...they were a pretty good app.
Atmosphere was good (4 star) since it was exactly what I would have expected and was in line with the menu, pricing, and overall vibe...not trying to be something they aren't while also mot letting the place run down and become another greasy dive bar.
Overall, not a bad experience, and I would be fine to go back...just probably pass on the fries and stick to just a sandwich or something else.”

“Been dozens of times since they opened. Really can’t say enough about how amazingly consistent this location is.
The food has defied expectations by getting a little bit worse every time.
Additionally, they have done an incredible job of matching each decline in the quality of the food with a price increase.
The staff have matched each decline in the quality of the food with a corresponding decline in service.
Really excited to see what the future holds for this location. On the plus side you no longer need reservations!!”

“A good ol' public house with the food you would expect from one. Lots of typical British style cooked to perfection and a good selection of alcohols. Lovely atmosphere both indoors and on the patio, and friendly staff. Would love to give this place 5 stars, but our tables fries were overcooked and hard to get through, but genuinely enjoyed everything else. Got the featured club sandwich (grilled chicken, portebello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, melted brie, lettuce and tomato) and it was incredible. Will definitely be returning next time we're in the city”

“Amazing food, exceptionally caring and attentive staff. The people here go out of there way to make sure customers are happy, comfortable and taken care of. Tonight I ordered through uber eats and accidently canceled the order, UE. Charged a 95% cancelation fee to my CC without telling me.. when I noticed the charge on my card, I spoke to Uber eats who refused to refund the "cancelation fee", and would not place a reorder without me paying again (double charge) for the original order. I ended up driving to the restaurant and told them of the situation and they made sure I was taken care of. They fufulied my order without knowing if UE would give them the money they are owed. I absolutely recommend this place and have ordered from them many times, every single time the food is incredible. If you're looking for a nice night out, or take out food, you can't go wrong with August 8 Burlington!”

She was friendly and attentive, and the desserts did not disappoint. My only request would be that they be more generous with their toppings (the amount has become less and less over the years) especially for the cost.”

I always lose a few pounds and feel really energized and clear headed during and afterwards. My favourite is the Creamy Cashew at end of the day, never has a drink felt more satiating and worth the wait. Juices are always well packaged, consistently fresh and it is so convenient to get them delivered. Would definitely recommend.”

“We just had a wonderful dinner in this amazing place ,I've been ordering from them for a long time ... The owner is keeping the food and quality at the same standards as his opening day ....Coco is such a pleasant person to talk to also she is always attentive and careful .Never had a glass empty ,always comes and ask if we are happy with the food if we need anything......very good customer service. We are driving 20 min to this restaurant but I would do it all the time and the reason is as I said customer service impeccable, accommodation being vegan lots of restaurants found hard ways to accommodate us ....and on top of everything....the positive energy that flows is just above everyone's expectations.”

“One night this past week, while staying at the Waterfront Hotel, I walked around the area looking for an inexpensive, fast restaurant to buy dinner to bring back to my room. I saw someone go into Sandwich Station so I eventually ended up there too. Glad I did! Very pleasant man at the counter, the portobello mushroom sandwich was delicious, so was the tomato and basil soup (which came with garlic bread), my husband loved the meatball sandwich, said it was one of the best ones he’s had. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the location, and as a vegetarian I was pleased to see several interesting options available. Also, there are lots of tables if you choose to eat there.”

“This is our go to place for special occasions.
Reservation is a must.
Before COVID, they had AYCE brunch on Sunday. My wife and I brithday are days apart, we enjoyed going here to celebrate.
This past Valentine's day, took my wife and daughter for brunch. They have a great kids menu. We had some east coast oysters, which I recommend getting. Fresh and delicious! We also had creamy ricotta flatbread as appetizer, a must order. My wife had a prime rib melt. She enjoyed it but was nothing over the top special. I had the blackened fish taco. Wish they doubled the soft she'll Taco. Kinda fell apart. But Pico de gallo was so good, I would recommend it.
Overall it's always a great experience!
PS: they bring back the AYCE brunch for easter and mothers day.”

“The restaurant was very nice, the server was also very nice although she forgot to grab us a couple things. The wait times are relatively long say 30 minutes to one hour. I think the place needs more staff due to a couple servers doing everything and is why people have to wait a long time. The people who sat next to us waited at least a hour and Noone came to them so they left without drinks or anything that was not good to see. Think just needs to be run better. I also work in hospitality so I know how tough things can get. Food quality is what I expected, nothing fancy just a decent meal. I'd come back.”
