“October 6, 2023 This afternoon we had a delightful meal with excellent service. The quality of the food was full of authenticate flavours and freshly prepared. We look forward to enjoying many more experiences dining here. Thank you! Barbie”
“The food is amazing, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is exceptional!”
“I dined at Agave a few weeks ago with a friend. It was my first experience and the ambience was so relaxing and comfortable. The food was delicious and I was beyond impressed with the presentation and flavours. Samantha, was our server and she went the extra mile to make our dining experience a pleasant one. She helped answer questions about the menu and tended to our table in a professional and warm matter. Top notch service!”
“This review reflects my opinion of the restaurant as a place to get a quick take-out pizza. I'm actually not happy with this Boston Pizza for messing up my order, but I appreciate the attempts to make it right well enough to recommend the place. The employees tried their best, and they were busy. $33 for a medium pepperoni pizza, though..? It was good pizza, sure, but not really worth it for quick take-out. I think you have to get a table and dine-in to fully appreciate the price.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“First time visiting the Kelsey’s in town. Best experience! Our waiter John Paul was absolutely fantastic! So welcoming and such a wonderfully kind person”
“My aunt‘s favourite restaurant before she passed was Red Lobster. Our family decided to get together in her memory at one of our homes, and we asked Amir, manager of Peterborough Red Lobster if it was possible to have it catered. He enthusiastically jumped in, made suggestions. He actually organized the entire menu. 30 people gathered. The food arrived and it was magnificent. Such a variety. I am pretty sure it was almost everything from their menu and more!!! There was something for every guest to enjoy and they did. If anyone is thinking of hosting such an event, I would strongly recommend recommending contacting Amir and he had his kitchen crew will impress. Thank you, Amir and your staff.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I've been a loyal customer of this family owned restaurant since shortly after they opened. their perfectly seasoned Shawarma is the area's best, and they have some interesting regional offerings worth exploring. They offer great food, friendly service, and the premises are well kept. I recommend checking them out.”
“My partner has been going to this place regularly for a couple of years now. I tried it one night and ordered fish and chips (I ask for onion rings instead of fries) I thought it was just a lucky batch and tried again. They are amazing each time! Crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. They are now a part of our normal take out line up. Customer service is amazing and food is great!!”

“7+ years ago we dined here for our first date and never dreamed this restaurant could get any better. Well they proved us wrong. It was amazing!! Still the prettiest place inside! Best bruchetta & caesar salads we've had anywhere! Had to sample the lobster mac n cheese, seafood gorgonzola & Marty recommended the wagyu steak. He even brought the meat out to show us. It was a true beauty! Leftovers to take home, desserts, coffee & an espresso martini made this a meal we won't soon forget! We already can't wait to come back! ♡”
“Had an awesome experience at East Side Mario’s in Peterborough! The atmosphere was amazing, the food was awesome, and the whole experience was great from start to finish.
A special shoutout to our server, Tory, who was fantastic and made the experience even better. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere.
Thanks for the experience — we’ll definitely be back! 🍝❤”
“We have never been to this location before but I was incredibly impressed by our experience tonight. We came at a busy time this evening and our server Allie was so efficient. She was clearly busy but simultaneously very attentive and fast with our drink refills. It surprised me how quick the food came out considering how busy it was, but it was hot and delicious. We got the 2 for 1 special with ribs and we will for sure be back in hopes of getting her as our waitress again.”
“I had a great experience at Boston Pizza. Austin was professional, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of. It’s clear Austin takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about customer experience. Excellent service like this is what keeps people coming back. Highly recommend this location!”
“Food is fantastic with great portion sizes. Best in Peterborough.”
“We had dinner there tonight. hubby ordered the liver and onions and gravy. Best he's ever had all was delicious I ordered the chicken wrap with there homemade chicken soup. DELICIOUS! Will be a regular customer after finding this gem. Great friendly staff too. very pleasant !”

“Easy spot off the highway for a rest stop. I made a mobile order that must have gotten lost in the system. The staff was excellent - I wasn’t waiting long at all before an employee asked which order I was waiting on. He sorted it quickly and was very kind.
We went on a weekend in the summer, it was busy and the lineup for the washrooms (2 all-gender stalls) was quite long with other road-trippers. However they were decently clean.”
“I went through the drive through. Fries for my son, coffee for me. The drive was so smooth. I really appreciated the caring and polite service from the drive through butler. Fries came in a paper bag. With napkins! So thoughtful and caring. Coffee was black, just the way I like it. So considerate and kind. It reminded me of childhood.”
“I don't usually leave reviews for fast food restaurants, but I wanted to recognize the staff, especially the wonderful lady who helped me while I was with my two hungry kids. She was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which made a big difference. Our food was hot, fresh, and prepared quickly. I believe our order number was 326. Thank you for the excellent service!”
“Nice, friendly staff and great food. However, should work to improve the ambience.”
“It's been a long time since I've been to a true pub. On a relaxing Saturday evening, the food was excellent, staff personable and the room quiet enough to be heard but lively enough for a true pub feel. Again, I cannot overstate the chicken Parm, the nachos, the mint-chip cheesecake... Everything was excellent and Kenzie, the server, was a lot of fun and incredibly skilled.”

“amazing croissants, cookies and croissant sandwiches. yummy coffee and chai lattee is my favorite, they make it in house. all workers make a living wage and the owners bring awareness to important causes. Best place to get coffee and treats in Peterborough by far!”

“As an out-of-town visitor I have to say that Peterborough is very lucky indeed to have a bakery like this. A local person recommended that as the best in town and the pastry I had (see photo) and the cinnamon bun did not disappoint. Looking forward to going again on my next visit!”
“Had an absolutely amazing time at the porch and pint pub tonight. Penny sat us and served us and was absolutely wonderful. She checked in with us multiple times and made sure we were very well taken care of. Two mains were ordered, the shepherds pie and a BLT sandwich. Both were delicious and the shepherds pie was piping hot! Will definitely come back the next time we have the opportunity to come to town.”
“Kawartha ice cream is absolutely unbeatable! So rich, creamy, and packed with real flavor. You can really taste the quality ingredients. Whether you grab a scoop at a shop or buy a tub from the store, it's always a treat. Huge variety of flavors and they never disappoint. Easily my favorite ice cream brand in Ontario. Highly recommend!”

“Stopped by for dinner on the patio and had a great overall experience! The live music created an amazing atmosphere. I ordered the mac & cheese with pulled pork—the flavor was incredible, though I love a good mac and cheese so much that I wouldn't have minded a slightly larger portion. My wife had the pizza, which was very good. We’ll definitely be back!”

“First impression... okay so this restaurant has a very plain and simple atmosphere like many take out places with counter ordering only! However, there is ample seating for dining in as well. Once the very pleasant owner greeted us, explained the posted menu and took our order of the Chicken Souvlaki dinner with boiled potatoes (not fries), rice, and Greek salad for me and my husband, we went to our table and hoped for the best!! Well, there definitely was no need to be concerned because what we were served was delicious and more than ample in quantity!! The chicken was tender and nicely seasoned, the rice was fluffy, the potatoes were firm but properly cooked and the Greek salad perfectly dressed (not soggy!) plus, the in-house made Tzatziki sauce was excellent!! We highly recommend the Souvlaki Pit Restaurant and extend our thanks to the owners for a job well done!! Karen and Jamie from Lindsay, Ontario”
“It is so yummy and delicious pizza i have ever tasted. I tried in "Dubai Mall" branch, they have well organized and a friendly staff. Strongly recommended for all of you, who are willing to eat Halal, Healthy, Hygienic and Tasty food. Looking for more yummy recipes.”
“Had a great experience at 241 Pizza today.The pizza was fresh, hot, and loaded with toppings. The crust was perfectly baked and the flavors were spot on. Service was quick and friendly, and the overall quality exceeded expectations. Definitely coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great slice .”

“Not only is the food incredible, but the service at TNT Taters is absolutely on point. The staff is fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Even when they're busy, they keep the energy high and make sure your food comes out hot, fresh, and exactly how you ordered it. Great vibes and excellent hospitality—they make you feel like a regular from day one!”

“The best Greek food in Peterborough. The spanakopita is absolutely amazing. Staff are personable and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Highly recommend”
“We have been enjoying many meals at Berc’s over the past 6 years. We always look forward to our trips to Peterborough and Berc’s is always the highlight of the trip. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is always friendly and accommodating! The menu selection is superb and the soup, in our opinion, is worth the trip. In the rating system we would rate Berc’s at a 10++.”

“We ordered some pizza’s through Skip the Dishes.. Skip the Dishes misrepresented the pizza I ordered, so needless to say I was disappointed when it arrived.. I called Papa’s Pizzaland and they said that Skip the Dishes had made a mistake.. I contacted Skip the Dishes and they gave us a credit.. 25 mins later we see someone pull into our driveway.. It was Papa’s Pizzaland delivering the pizza we originally wanted in a larger size for no charge..!! What amazing customer service.!! My recommendation, order directly through Papa’s Pizzaland and avoid the Skip the Dishes issues…”
“I simply want to say that the staff that work at this Tim Horton location are absolutely amazing. They deal with so many eclectic human beings and they all do their very best each and every day. I have watched both the staff and the owners come and speak with individuals and help them when they can. The other day there was a lovely, timid, young woman in this store and both a man, who was very careful not to intrude and the owner (female) spoke to the young woman and helped her through a serious crisis (she was obviously physically abused). They sat with the young girl and at one point, I did hear part of the conversation where both the owner and the gentleman were brough to tears and I then followed. These individuals who work at this Tim Hortons care, work VERY hard and deal with A LOT each day. I ask that the patrons of this restaurant appreciate that and treat each member of this Tim Hortons team with the respect that they deserve. There are certainly times when persons have had to be asked to leave but welcome to our world and it is handled as best as it can be. Thank you for letting me share my experience Rhonda”

“I recently used Tracey's That's A Wrap catering to provide food for 100 people at a surprise birthday party at The Peterborough Rugby Club building at Nicholls Oval.. I had rented the fully licensed clubhouse for the occasion ,and as it happens ,she is the sister of the part-time bar manager at the club ,Kait .This made things very easy to coordinate the occasion .EVERYONE wanted to know who did the food and complimented the quality ,variety and taste .As well as sumptuous wraps, there were fruit ,veggie and pickle trays ,as well as spring rolls ,and varied deserts . Tracey volunteered to help get things going for the first hour of a three hour party, and she left right at the end ! That was service way beyond expected.. She had some food left over and this was taken to facilities in town which she knew would use it .No waste !! I would certainly recommend Tracey for any future similar occasions and parties. She has to be the best in town !”

“I had a great experience at Boston Pizza. Austin was professional, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of. It’s clear Austin takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about customer experience. Excellent service like this is what keeps people coming back. Highly recommend this location!”
“Stopped by the riverside a couple weeks back on a work trip through Peterborough and grabbed a table on the gazebo side around sunset, easily the best seat in the place. The pan seared trout was cooked perfectly and the portion was generous without being over the top. Staff clearly knew the regulars but still made time to walk us through the specials without rushing anything. Parking behind the building was tight but easy enough, and honestly worth it for that view over the water.”

“Probably the best in Peterborough right now. Cocktails are awesome, different and done well. Beer choices excellent. And the meals are varied, good portions, tastes I've never had before. Will be back with family and friends.”
“stop in just about every Monday for the 1/2 price wings, always done to perfection. Looked after by Ashley, she is the best.”
