“We were a party of 4, one member of our group had serious mobility struggles . All staff around us went beyond reasonable expectations, demonstrating so much patience and making efforts to accommodate some irregular requests. The staff was so considerate and helpful, I can begin to explain how helpful it was in a stressful situation. Their kindness did not go unnoticed … service was top notch - food was alright - mashed potatoes were terrible but otherwise, would recommend ! Thank you.”

“The flavour of the ice cream was subtle and not too sweet which is just the way I like ice cream.
It has a marshmallow/gooey texture which was unique and delicious. We had the pistachio one which was delicious.
Keep in mind it's a small business and you will have to go through the garage entrance to purchase. You can text them and it's a quick response.
We will be back for more!”

There needs to be more NAINA’S, Ty to NAINA, and Tim Hortons.”

I stopped by the McDonald’s at 501 Ritson Rd S, Oshawa, and I have to say I was blown away by the service and cleanliness! Jules, the maintenance lady, keeps the restaurant spotless — it feels fresh and welcoming every time I walk in. At the counter, Janet delivers top-notch service with a smile, making the whole experience even better.
These two ladies are truly impressive! If you’re in the “Shwa,” stop by and see how they do it here — you won’t be disappointed.”

“This is the best Breakfast Restaurant I have ever been too!
Extremely friendly staff who always greet you with amazing prices and down right delicious food. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants a great breakfast. Support this little Mom and Pop owned restaurant and stay away from the Stale Chain restaurants”
“Can't believe I didn't know about this restaurant before. The koobideh is absolutely delicious. I've taken my family here 4or5 times already and every time it just gets better and better. It's a must-visit. Every dish was incredibly fresh, bursting with bold, perfectly balanced flavors, and cooked to absolute perfection. The service/staff was top-notch, and the atmosphere made the meal taste even better. Keep up the great work.”

“I had such a great experience at Harpo’s for a beautiful friends birthday! I ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly—tender, flavorful, and exactly how I asked for it. You can really tell the cook knows what they’re doing.
The service was just as impressive. The servers were attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome without being overbearing. Everything came out in a timely manner, and the whole experience felt smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
Definitely a place I’d come back to for both the food and the amazing service. Highly recommend, also right across the OC !”

“Don't buy anything from the Mary Browns in Oshawa at King St and Gibbons St. just north of the Oshawa Shopping Center. The past owner were of Asian nationality and the Chicken quality was top notch, and really fresh and hot. The new owners are east Indian nationality. Now, every piece of chicken has broken bones and blood throughout the meat. And it's not cooked properly, and soggy. Smells like the cooking oil was old as well. The staff was uninterested in working there, very sad employees.”
“The food was exceptional and everyone should support this wonderful family owned business. Mary was excellent and was what customer service should've. We will be back!”
“Went to Quick Flame for a late lunch, absolutely enjoyed it. Jody our server was awesome, very friendly and attentive. I have been craving a club sandwich and ordered the Classic Club, it didn't disappoint, was truly delicious and my sweet potato fries were excellent. My husband had trouble deciding as there are so many good things on the menu, but he chose the French Dip and loved it, had a side of the homestyle gravy to go with his fries and he was happy. Next I want to try the Cobb Salad or the Philly Melt.....the list goes on. We have been searching for a place to call ours as our old place had to close down and we have found it. Love the bar area and big TVs, wish they were open longer as we would love to come for pay for view sports like MMA fights, would be perfect, but the atmosphere is so nice there and your serving staff are a class above. Thank you! We will be back.”

“Druv and his team are the most professional to deal with. My daughters team wanted to do a team meal at the hotel that we could take out and Dhruv made this process so very simple.. the taco meal that we ordered for 35 people was delicious. Everybody was so happy with their dinner, and we will definitely be utilizing this meal option again when we are back in town for tournaments, and we will be passing along his name to other teams too.”

“We had dinner on Sunday, April 19th before going to the Regent and we couldn't have had a better time! Our waitress, Jane, was amazing! She was probably one of the best server's we have ever had the pleasure of meeting as she was friendly, so accommodating and speedy with our order, a very upbeat and genuine person and never intrusive in any way. We saw her run down the street when we were leaving because someone forgot their glasses and it was cold out! The food was great and if we needed anything, Jane was there. She is an absolute asset to your restaurant! We will be back!”
“Food was great and would definitely recommend it...prices were very reasonable!”
“We come here often to hear musicians. I've never expected much from bar food but Nookies beats expectations. I've had many dishes here all have been good. I recently thought I would compare dish to dish. I was in a named Italian restaurant in Toronto and ordered their butternut squash pasta. I felt Nookies was much better. You just never know, Nookies is good food at a good price point.”
“Fantastic food, friendly staff and lots of familiar faces on a weekly basis. Manager Chris knows how to throw a fun evening any night of the week.”
“Amazing food, and the staff are very polite! Definitely the go-to Indian spot in Durham!!”

“I have a permanent disability, and I came to this restaurant to celebrate my grandma’s 80th birthday. Our waitress was named Sarah and she provided our table with excellent service. She took all our orders properly, and had the food served so quick, considering we were a larger group. My 3 children were quite loud, and yet our server was extremely patient and tolerant of my noisy kids. Most waitresses would never be so tolerant. Dessert was very good also. We had a very good time and a delicious meal. We will return next year.”
“Delicious food, generous portions and my boyfriend said he now has "mad sow" disease from being so full. We ordered takeout online and asked for our meals to be made with love - the staff were great at making this happen. They even left nice messages and hearts on the packaging. We shall be back 😊”
“When me and my family come in for dinner we always ask for Cheryl. Time and time again she provides premium care and service for my family and all customers in the restaurant.”
“We were a group of 20. All the food came out at the same time. I got the chicken fingers and fries. 5 pieces of chicken and lots of fries. No complaints. Someone in our group said the fries could’ve been cooked longer but I had no issues with mine. Lots of people liked the fish and chips. Our server was attentive and came around a couple times to make sure everything came out and to see if we needed anything.”
“Staff was welcoming and very pleasant. Food was excellent with good value for the money.”
“I ordered for 110 packed of jollof rice, I got what I wanted, this rice was so yummy and the chicken was flavourful, and also my coleslaw was so creamy.Thanks to Elyon African Restaurants. Good customer service, Friendly Staff and also neat environment.”
“Friends had told us of this place. Had to try it. Was certainly worth the drive, almost 2 hours. Ordered the tasters combo plate. Everything was fantastic. Will definately return next time we have a desire for BBQ.”

EAT HERE and skip Mary's every time!”

“Food is very good, timing of meals with a larger party was not ideal, everyone got served at different times, food and beverages.Iit was good food, the broths were very tasty and I would say very decent portions of wontons and meats for the dishes, noodles and stir-fry. Server was very polite, but very quiet, at certain times was difficult to hear over background noises. Was very clean, but decor was out of place, and Atmosphere was just off, not bad at all, but not fitting.”
“I grew up in a time when diners served real food. Fresh cut fries, actual home made beef burgers. I happened in to the Diamonds Grill by accident. It was like walking back in time. The owner himself smiled and welcomed me in. I started with black coffee. It was lovely. I ordered one of their many burgers and fries. When he walked up with my loaded platter my eyes couldn’t believe it. Delicious fresh cut potatoes fries. The burger so large I could barely hold it. Loaded and fresh. Loaded with real ba on and cheese. The beef patty was juicey on the inside and bbq char on the outside. I was full before I finished the meal but no way was I leaving this. It was 1974 all over again. I’m hear working out of town but I will be back”

“We went to KAJUN Chicken and seafood Missisuaga on invitation of Shehla Jafri and Ahmed Jafri. Very nice atmosphere and spacious. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. They welcome all guests with big smile. We try thier boneless chicken tenders. Spicy KAJUN Chicken ,fries,buns and sauce. Perfectly cooked with excellent flavour. My son wants me order again next day. When I told him it’s very faraway from Richmond Hill,then he said can we go again over the weekend. 😊. My son request to open next branch in Richmond Hill. Best part is they have everything hand slaughtered. Highly recommended.”

You’re amazing. Thank you so much for such a pleasant time always. I’m usually at this mall for Mr Pretzel and Mj tops off my visits.
always order the same thing. A napolitano and a cinnamon sugar pretzel. Love these pretzels so light, tasty and yummy!”
“Every time I come in, I receive the best service from a wonderful employee named Anisha. She always greets customers with a smile and has such a positive, friendly attitude. Anisha goes above and beyond to make sure every visit is enjoyable, and her excellent customer service keeps me coming back. The food is always great, but it's employees like Anisha who make the experience exceptional. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Mary Brown's is lucky to have you!”
“Undoubtedly the best Indian food in Durham region. The flavours and spice levels were absolute perfection. When you walk into the restaurant, the amazing smells of the spices cooking were so nostalgic to me. My mom and myself were both blown away by how delicious the food is. The portions were also huge! Such great value!! Unfortunately, I have been cursed with a nut allergy and couldn’t eat the butter chicken (has cashews in it), but I pray and hope one day this amazing restaurant makes a nut-free version for allergic foodies like me! 🥺 I did eat some chicken curry, Chana masala and garlic naan and it was so delicious!!! 10/10!!! Like I am anaphylactic with nuts, and would eat here again and risk it because it’s THAT good….God help me!!! No photos were taken unfortunately because the food was so delicious and beautifully presented, we just dug right in and not a grain of rice was spared. 😂”
“Who would have thought, a McDonald's thats good. I usually dont eat here, way to many bad food, bad service experiences over my years. BUT THIS ONE, THIS STORE...GREAT SO FAR!! The ordering till- excellent. Two stand outs, one young man and one tall young lady have redeemed the service star and the youngin's whipping up the grub in the kitchen.. well done as well. I go out of my way just to be served from this store, so far, its been worth it. Keep up the great work guys..”
