Comfort Food Restaurants near Oshawa, ON

“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.“

“I have always loved this restaurant, the food arrives quickly and Is always hot & fresh, nice waitresses, make you feel at home“

“Went in with a friend and my daughter after a particularly trying day. Was seated right away in the section I asked for (I know this location well) and food and service was super quick as usual. Rare these days to get a sit down meal under an hour! Our server Linda who I always ask for was polite, cheerful and energetic! Keep doing what you're doing Swiss!“

“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.“

“Lovely staff, attentive and friendly! Generous portions and delicious food! I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered the Greek souvlaki, the chicken was so tender for both meals! Would love to come back and try the fish and chips!“

“Amazing Service from Candace!

We had an excellent experience at Kelsey’s in the Oshawa Centre, thanks to our server, Candace. Splitting meals isn’t something restaurants generally always do if you ask, but Candace went above and beyond to accommodate us, which we really appreciated!

Candace also made sure I could use my coupon from the Gens’ game without any hassle—it was such a smooth process. Their friendly attitude and attention to detail truly made our visit enjoyable.

Highly recommend asking for Candace when you dine here. Exceptional service!“

“Had a delicious patio lunch today @ The North location! That Goat Cheese & Walnut Salad is my absolute favourite! Service was great!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My visit to Swiss Chalet was amazing. I usually go every now and then at a different location and it’s nice but my experience was outstanding this time around as I received stellar service from Josie. She was so caring, kind, and paid attention to detail. I definitely will be coming back.“

“The absolute worst customer service I have EVER experienced. Inadequately trained servers, the "manager" definitely could use some serious customer service training AND training with the payment system as he struggled with processing our bill. The food was served cold. We order a Chicken BLT wrap just before our meal ended To-Go and after waiting over 50 minutes for our takeout, we were told the takeout was busy with takeout orders for customers?? excuse me?? what are we?? We had just ordered 2 bar drinks, an appetizer and 2 main entres, so I guess we are not a customer. Unbelievable!! And then the manager proceeded to be combative with us when we began to rightfully complain. No apologies, no discount, nada! No surprise this place has a low rating...THEY'VE EARNED IT! 👎“

“My friends and I enjoyed our lunch. I ordered a Steak and Noodle Salad and it was very tasty, however, the steak was quite tough and I found it difficult to chew. I managed to eat half of the steak serving. I am a frequent customer at Milestones and have always been very pleased with my menu choices but not this time.“

“Great food and service. Loved the garlic bread and ribs. Thanks!“

“The Oak is a great neighborhood pub. Yesterday after work, a friend and I stopped by for lunch. Noah was our server. The professionalism from this young man was outstanding. He was completely on point, and I can't remember ever seeing someone do a better job. He represents the pub amazingly good. This type of service will keep me coming, and I'm recommending this pub 5 stars? thanks Noah!“

“This is the best dining experience I've had in a really long time. I had mixed up the closing time and arrived 10mins to closing really hungry. Which already felt like I had to order and rush my food from the greeter's demure. But then Trish the dish Aka Trisha was our server and she made our dining experience memorable. She was patient, absolutely funny, and great company. Almost felt like we were having an exclusive vip dining experience. Food was also awesome. Now that's true customer service. I wish I could give Trish 10 stars. Next time I go there I'm going to ask if Trish is working and ask to be seated in her service area. That's just how amazing she is. She turned my already bad evening into a delightful one.“
