Each of us ordered different things and there was not one complaint. Highly recommend.”

Diner • $$
“We had the privilege of having your turkey dinner delivered this year. It was amazing and so delicious. Thank you to everyone who put in work so that we were able to have that meal. As a large family sometimes traditions like a Christmas dinner have to be put on the back burner due to lack of funds, funds having to go towards groceries that cost an insane amount. My point of this is just to truly thank everyone of you that had a part in making our meal. There was a lot of money, time and effort that went into making this happen. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.”

“The staff at this location are hardworking, kind, and try very hard to go out of their way for their customers. They are an extremely busy location, especially if there are buses stopping in from the highway. They handle that pressure very well. There is plenty of seating. There are charger ports and plugs in various areas of the dining room. The playplace is open and available to use and is fun for ages toddlers and up. There is a dining area in the playplace room. There is one plug available in the playplace room. There is also a washroom available in the playplace room, but it needs to be requested.
We are huge fans of their quarter pounder blt, both the coffee and caramel iced coffee, and any of their happy meals.

“My son and daughter in law were recently married at our home. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Go Italian and their catering service and in particular Jess. They arrived and quickly quietly and efficiently. They made the who experience so relaxing and easy. The food was piping hot and so flavourful. We had four dinner options and each one was as tasty as the others. The guest loved the food! What impressed me the most was Jess’ attention to the food accommodations of the guests with allergies. These dishes were prepared first so there could be no cross contamination. She personally delivered the to the specific guest and I had no concerns at all that each of these guest receive dinners that were safe for them. It was a load off this Moms mind! Lastly, they left the way they arrived quietly, efficiently and professionally. They left enough food in containers for the bride and grooms families and the wedding party to feed their families the day following the wedding. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was when they arrived! Five stars really isn’t enough to rate our experience with Go Italian catering.”

“Stopped here last week after eyeing it up for a while, we both got the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and they were delicious!! We could have easily shared one. Fries were great too. Slushies tasted good but my banana one had mysterious black floaters in the cup, once we told staff they replaced it with the other flavour. However I hope this is an indication that the slushy machines likely need cleaning/servicing. Baklava was 10/10 and tasted just like the kind I've had in Greece! The atmosphere was nice, we will definitely be back to try more of the menu!”

Wonderful evening at the always full Grecos Grill & Wine Bar with a wonderful din of conversation, servers happily singing and humming, and the great food.

“I went to lone Star downtown. I ordered a steak medium rare. The first time arrived. It was blue rare which is two steps down from where I ordered it the second time it arrived medium well, which is two steps above how I ordered it. Lone Star is an absolute crap hole. So I decided to hit up Arby's on the way out of town. You would think that the food at Arby's would be worse by far and the food at lone Star which is a steakhouse but you would be wrong. Arby is absolutely delivered. Lone Star should be ashamed.”
Cafe • $$
“There’s claw machines, bubble tea, dim sum, noodles and just a great variety. There’s also plenty of seating with big tables perfect for studying. The dumplings were very juicy with a savoury filling. The braised beef noodles were not the greatest. The soup was a bit bland and some pieces of beef were dry and chewy but the noodles were great. It’s a bit expensive for the food quality but not a bad place to visit.”

“It's more than food. It's an experience. I've been to the restaurant a couple of times now, and all I can say is that I never thought I could achieve this feeling without requiring the presence of another human being and nudity. The burgers did things to my mouth that I'm sure there are morality laws against in some countries. And after trying the Thousand Islands Burger, the Big Mac is now dead to me.”

“Excellent staff and excellent prep of food. My low rating for atmosphere is the cloud of cigarette smoke I have to walk through to get into the restaurant. At one point, I came out and had two people leaning against my car out for a smoke from the bar upstairs. Before anyone says I'm being judgemental about smokers- I'm a smoker, but a considerate one.”

The second one was perfect but I was disappointed that we didn’t get to eat our meals together. Would have appreciated a gesture of customer service for the inconvenience but none was forthcoming, not even a complimentary coffee. All in all the food was great once prepared properly.”

Sorry to state the fact that men are disgusting when it come to hitting the toilet bowl. The floor in the stalls was covered in urine which ended up on the bottom of my shoes. You never see this in a ladies washroom.”

“We were on a winter get away for the night at the Marriott and not wanting to brave the cold after a swim came downstairs to Aqua Terra for dinner. The food was beyond expectations. Our server Tyson was the best...friendly and offering suggestions. The choices were difficult, we wanted to try everything. We settled on the duck and rib eye steak. Both delicious, cooked to perfection. Tyson surprised us with an appetizer of soft shell crab, could it get any better? The atmosphere is lovely, the winter view of the water, Harbour and ferry perfect.Thank you for making our special night... can't wait to return. Wendy”

“This place is so damned cool j almost don't want to leave a review as to preserve it's awesomeness. Bingo, slots, bar - all cool. The real kicker in my eyes though is pool, Cornhole, rod hockey (and soccer) as well as an extensive collection of boardgames that are all FREE. What a diamond in the rough in the entertainment world. Seriously... (Don't) 🤫 Go there now. Honest if I was local I would't have reviewed it... it's that good.
Parking: Line up of cabs readily available out front to boot!
Kid-friendliness: 19+

“Matty Boy BBQ was one of the best parts of our wedding! The food was unbelievable. Locally sourced food, smoked and cooked to perfection, and generous portions, what more could you ask for? Vegetarian options- they got em! The presentation of our meal at the buffet/carving station was so unique! It was an experience for us and the guests. Our guests raved about the meal and complimented all aspects of Matty Boy BBQ’s offering. Their professionalism and enthusiasm is unmatched. Matt was flexible and accommodating. The team comes with all the equipment they need and they respect the wedding setup. Thank you for an incredible experience! My husband was passionate about having a delicious meal and he nailed the decision to have our meal from Matty Boy BBQ.”

Sushi Bar • $$
“Great sushi including delicious vegetarian. The deluxe black dragon with bbq eel was awesome as well as the Philadelphia. Super fresh and although the price is high, I would pay it again. My only complaint is that they serve ginger and wasabi in packets. I don’t understand how a place with that quality of sushi can’t afford to provide a nicer ginger and wasabi. Also Would definitely love to see some additional flavourful vegetarian like a lightly fried vegetarian dynamite roll, some spicy mayo veggie rolls, the use of sundried tomatoes.”
Sushi • $$
“This is honestly the only good place to eat in this entire mall - I have eaten at every location and Bento Sushi is the best. Great food, prices and portions but limited options. I always order the Spicy California poke bowl (sometimes without the wakame(seaweed) salad as it is very fishy). Cost $13 with tax.- white rice base under other toppings / not to spicy”

“Pleasantly surprised. In our family, birthday venues are chosen by the individual whose birthday it is - even if no one else wants it. I had even tried to dissuade him, particularly after the reviews I had read. We had it delivered, within the expected time, by a sweet elderly gentleman. The food was wonderful. The food exceed ed expectations. The quality of the ingredients, always a pet peeve - whether it's the freshness of the veggies, the quantity, or the quality of the meat. Definitely not a problem with this order.”

“My son and daughter in law were recently married at our home. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Go Italian and their catering service and in particular Jess. They arrived and quickly quietly and efficiently. They made the who experience so relaxing and easy. The food was piping hot and so flavourful. We had four dinner options and each one was as tasty as the others. The guest loved the food! What impressed me the most was Jess’ attention to the food accommodations of the guests with allergies. These dishes were prepared first so there could be no cross contamination. She personally delivered the to the specific guest and I had no concerns at all that each of these guest receive dinners that were safe for them. It was a load off this Moms mind! Lastly, they left the way they arrived quietly, efficiently and professionally. They left enough food in containers for the bride and grooms families and the wedding party to feed their families the day following the wedding. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was when they arrived! Five stars really isn’t enough to rate our experience with Go Italian catering.”

“The food, beer, service and atmosphere was great!! The bathroom was disgusting. Men and women should not share a bathroom. Sorry to state the fact that men are disgusting when it come to hitting the toilet bowl. The floor in the stalls was covered in urine which ended up on the bottom of my shoes. You never see this in a ladies washroom.”

“Went there with 3 friends at 12 noon on a Sunday with no reservations. Place was packed but they said about a 15-20 minute wait. They were pretty true to their word. Waitress was quick to approach us (sorry I didn't get her name). Ordered our food and did not wait long at all for our food to be ready. Food was phenomenal! Each of us ordered different things and there was not one complaint. Highly recommend.”

“The staff at this location are hardworking, kind, and try very hard to go out of their way for their customers. They are an extremely busy location, especially if there are buses stopping in from the highway. They handle that pressure very well. There is plenty of seating. There are charger ports and plugs in various areas of the dining room. The playplace is open and available to use and is fun for ages toddlers and up. There is a dining area in the playplace room. There is one plug available in the playplace room. There is also a washroom available in the playplace room, but it needs to be requested.
We are huge fans of their quarter pounder blt, both the coffee and caramel iced coffee, and any of their happy meals.
Overall 5/5 for this mcdonalds and their staff especially.

“Stopped here last week after eyeing it up for a while, we both got the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and they were delicious!! We could have easily shared one. Fries were great too. Slushies tasted good but my banana one had mysterious black floaters in the cup, once we told staff they replaced it with the other flavour. However I hope this is an indication that the slushy machines likely need cleaning/servicing. Baklava was 10/10 and tasted just like the kind I've had in Greece! The atmosphere was nice, we will definitely be back to try more of the menu!”
