“The lobster, shrimp linguine was awesome with good portions. The Ceasar salad was very good with their homemade sauce.
The fish and chips were good, but I would not order them again. The batter was not crispy and everything kept falling apart.
Service was very good.
If you are interested in trying something different; they have some interesting drinks.
The music was good and not too loud. TV screens everywhere, so you see them from everywhere.”
“Our experience at this location is always superb! Mostly because of the excellent service from our regular server, Lynn. She is friendly, knows everything about the menu, efficient, and really makes the customer feel important. The food is great as well. The great experience really comes from Lynn. Highly recomended!”

“Not my first time at this location, but Maria was extremely friendly and very helpful with getting my order completed quickly and correctly. Also very thankful that NYFries still others the veggie gravey option instead of the animal based ones like other establishments.”
“I have been a loyal customer of The Kabab Shoppe across GTA locations, and it remains one of my absolute favorite spots to dine.
The Tandoori Chicken Bowl paired with rice, fries, or salad is ridiculously delicious—easily some of the best food around. Having eaten here countless times, I can always count on top-notch quality and fresh ingredients, and the restaurant consistently maintains an exceptionally clean and hygienic environment, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever I order.
If you are looking for dishes to try, the Butter Chicken, Shish Kababs, and Samosas are all incredible and well worth ordering. On top of the food quality, having late-night hours until 3 AM makes it an unbelievably convenient go-to spot. Highly recommended!”

“To whoever made the order of me and my sister's late night uber eats bless your soul. We left a funny note in the order description about wanting crispy fries and ketchup with a little thank you attached. When we got our order it not only tasted amazing but they blessed us up with extra crispy fries, loads of ketchup and cookies that we dident even order. Love this place!!”

“My friends and I were seated on the patio as requested. It was a comfortable enough spot and a beautiful evening...aside from other restaurant patrons who repeatedly went out on the sidewalk, quite near our table, to smoke. They did this multiple times during their visit to the restaurant and it was rather unpleasant. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful so we will probably choose to sit inside next time to avoid any smokers. Otherwise, all was good. We enjoyed the food (bacon tomato soup, honey glazed Cajun chicken, fish tacos and Bangkok noodle bowl) and it was half-priced bottle of wine night so we had a nice bottle of pinot grigio. The birthday girl was able to choose her own complimentary dessert (Main Street mocha pie) which was delicious and big enough to share. Our server (Darrin) was wonderful and she took great care of us.”
“Stayed after a long night at Toronto Zoo so i can unwind in the casino. The hotel room is big and clean, starbucks in the hotel is a plus, also i love that theres a chinese place to eat inside thats open for breakfast. Casino pay out is low but overall a good experienced”
“Absolutely impressed with the beautiful beans I just ordered via their subscription. If you are a coffee lover, please check them out. It's great to have such fantastic product produced locally”
“The waterfront experience is only surpassed by the great staff that greatly enhance the atmosphere”

“Been a while since we had Subway and decided to take a gamble. First time at this location and family was shocked by the quality of the sandwich. They were handcrafted like the subs on the ads. Looked and tasted amazing. There’s a reason why it’s taken us so long to go back to a Subway. The quality has been going downhill in general and that’s the case for most locations. This one is definitely a Unicorn location. We were so impressed that our daughter wanted Subway the following day. Unfortunately we went to a different location due to our schedule and the subs were not very good. That’s a seperate review.”
“Cathy is amazing. She follows my order exactly, never takes shortcuts, and even remembers my order. Tim Hortons should model their new employee training around people like Kathy because she sets the standard for the customer service that we expect from Tim Hortons.”
“My go to Tim Hortons! Super efficient, very clean and organized, this is definitely one of the nicest locations in the Gta. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I feel like I know a couple of them because I am a regular and I have only good things to say! Keep up the good work!”
“I had an amazing experience at Tim Hortons today with Mani, a turban guy. He provided some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. He was extremely kind, respectful, patient, and genuinely eager to help. He took the time to assist us with our gift card, making sure it was swiped properly and that everything went smoothly.
Mani’s positive attitude, warm smile, and professional behavior made our visit even better. It’s employees like him who make customers want to come back. Thank you, Mani, for going above and beyond to help us. Tim Hortons is lucky to have such a dedicated and caring team member!”
“This McDonald's is a great place to eat. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff work hard to make sure customers have a positive experience. Overall, this McDonald's provides excellent food, great service, and a pleasant dining experience every time.”
“The staff are the best! Joanne, Jay, Devan, Robin, Ali,Jen,Lauren, Melanie,Sydney, James, Jonesie…..simply the best. What ever you’re craving, food is fantastic, drinks a flowin!! Come on over and enjoy!”

“It's really awesome to have an authentic Mexican restaurant like this in Pickering! You can tell they really care about their customers. Food was delicious and I appreciated that there was a kids menu as we were with my 5 and 9 year old. They absolutely loved the starter chips and salsa (so did I!) and their meals of the quesadilla and burrito, which come with their choice of side. Rice, salad and beans were complemented our meals perfectly.
My only qualm was that we came on one of the first hot days of the season and I noticed that there wasn't any A/C. Don't know if it was just that day or if it is regularly like that. Felt a bit hot and sticky while eating but I joked that we were able to feel like we were really in Mexico 😅”
“We made it back to extreme burrito after a busy 3 months. We wanted something that was healthy and great tasting and they didn’t disappoint. The people are so friendly and the place is very clean. The food is so fresh and tastes great. And the lunch specials are a really good price. They have the specials on 7 days a week and for 4 hours each day. It is definitely a wonderful place for a meal whether it be lunch or dinner. I would give this place a 5 out of 5”
“I visited Helmand Kabab yesterday around 3:00 PM, and I had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the naan—it was fresh, soft, and one of the best I’ve had.
I also want to recognize the young lady who was working at that time. She provided outstanding customer service, was very friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit.
Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful experience overall. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”
“Tried their Half Chicken Platter today and honestly, the peri-peri flavor was amazing. The chicken was cooked perfectly, juicy inside with a really good char on the outside. We went with the spicy option and wow, it actually had the kind of spice we were looking for.
They serve the platter with two extra complimentary sauces, which was a really nice touch and made the meal even better. Definitely a spot worth trying if you enjoy flavorful peri-peri chicken.”

“DO NOT RECOMMEND do not order. Absolutely appaling. don't waste money says 24 hour but closed and tried to deny it on a post saying never been closed. MAKE YOUR MIND UP ordered and as it said on way. they cancelled, closed and never got my money back. scandals”
“Awesome breakfast . The pancakes are a totally unique experience”
“At the st. Catharine’s location at the Pen Center. I’m here with my daughter. Had the wings and fries and the dessert Divide and conquer Belgian Waffle! The service is amazing but it’s a large place so we did approach the counter right away. It’s beautiful and clean. So many delicious things on the menu to choose! I highly recommend it!”
“Now this is what I’m talking about! Perfect crunch, perfect amount of cheese and sauce, perfect breadsticks. THIS is what you call good food!! I’m definitely coming back now :)”
“In the 20+ years I've been going to Pho Saigon's Pickering Location. Never had bad service, food is always on point. The staff and owner(s) are awesome. What used to be a meet up with friends and coworkers once in awhile, has in recent years become a weekly spot for me to eat, relax, and enjoy great food and conversation with the awesome FoH staff
Thank you Ladies 🙂”

“My colleague was hungry, so he suggested Chewy's Grill, as I had never heard of it or been there and it was close to work, so why not! I ordered a pulled pork poutine and he had a grilled club wrap. My colleague enjoyed his wrap, he gets it all the time. My poutine was great for the size I got, it was a lot. I shall save the rest for my hubby to enjoy later. He's a poutine fanatic! Great Job Chewy!”
“the spicy fries were amazing, i don't know what seasoning mix they used but it was a great masala blend, they certainly put effort in them, as a self appointed fries enthusiast, they get a 9/10 from me, extraordinary work
on an unrelated note, i ordered 5 piece chicken tenders and got 6 pieces, this doesn't affect anything, i just found it funny”
“The most amazing delectable chicken wings I have ever had in my entire life! The honey garlic are so tasty. The Jaffna fries are sooo yummy and full of flavour! This is definitely a family favorite spot. Highly recommend. They offer takeout and delivery. No formal dine in service. The gentleman working the front counter was super helpful and very professional and so kind to offer us gloves. There are some tables and chairs if you wanna eat here but no waiter service. Order at the counter, sit down and enjoy.”
“It was absolutely delicious. The Thai Lemon Coconut Soup was especially flavourful without being heavy. Generous portions, beautiful presentation, and friendly service make it on those restaurants you can't wait to come back again. Would recommend the the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice and the Chicken Pad Thai.”
“Every time I visit this Subway location, I am greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Nirali, in particular, consistently stands out for her kindness and attention to detail. She prepares each sandwich with care, ensuring it is made exactly as requested and presented neatly. Her thoughtful approach, including providing any additional utensils when needed, enhances the overall experience.
This location maintains a high standard of customer service, and I would certainly recommend it to others.”
“This Little caesars never dissapoints! Had an amazing freshly made veggie and pepperoni just now! lovveeeeddddd it! The service was really good! The manager was very polite and welcoming and helped me choose the best options available! <3 will definitely come back! great job!”

“Recommend by friends, great atmosphere and locals are friendly! Food choices are wide and service is excellent!! Think we’ve found our new local pub!”
“Food was delicious. One of the freshest sushi spots I’ve ever been to.
The food did take long but it was definitely worth the wait.
Omakase sashimi and sushi are a must try.
Along with spicy snow crab roll.
Will be back to taste more of the menu”
“Fresh, delicious sushi and other food! I loved how they used brown rice which is healtheir for you, also they did not over use soy sauce on their dishes.
One of the best spots in Durham Region! The staff were very friendly and accommodated my glutten free needs. They were always busy and had people waiting for a table when we left. Our first time here and we will be back!”
“The music is amazing, from recent tracks to major throwbacks, never a dull moment. Staff is super friendly and the environment is super welcoming and chill allowing yourself to truly party and let loose. The super sized board games and fruit drinks is always a bonus. Must try the jerk chicken nachos when i go next.”

“I came into the Popeyes Pickering location on Tuesday August 12th around 2pm. I just wanted to say that the two guys that were working were super friendly, very nice, smiling, engaging with customers. It was a nice refreshing change these days and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated it, It is rare to get good customer service these days so when I do I want to share it. Thank you”
“Well the six of us just finished up our breakfast at Kathryns Diner. The server was lovely. Fast, efficient and pleasant. Our son had an omelette. We had peameal sandwich and a western. Coleslaw on the side. Our grand-daughter had a bagel with a fruit cup. All our meals were delicious. We had two fruit cups and there were six different fruits in the large cup. The price was right! Definitely, give it a try. The lunch and dinner menus look inviting too.”

“I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday and they were super helpful; I was able to call multiple times and get someone; they even accommodated me coming an hour earlier than their standard pickup times so i wouldn't be late for the party. Saad was absolutely wonderful to work with - they even went above and beyond with an extra layer on my cake because they weren't satisfied with how it came out! Thank you for your commitment to excellence and customer service as well as an amazing yummy cake! I have the rosette ombre cake... amazing.”
“My Place Day Program is a Day Program for special needs adults. We come in there once or twice a week with a group of 5 to 7 and they treat us like family. Portia the manager knows many of our members by name and often come out to say hi and share her smile and kind words with us, Our group loves this location and its staff.”

“I recently visited Kandahar Kabab in Pickering, drawn by its reputation for flavorful Afghan cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of grilled meats, rice platters, and traditional sides, with standout items like the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chapli Kabab, and Lamb Shank. The portions were generous, and the meat was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mango Lassi was a refreshing complement to the meal. However, the experience was a bit inconsistent. While some staff were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. Wait times for food can be long—even when the restaurant isn’t crowded. Huma was the best! always smiling and ready to serve customers. The ambiance is casual, leaning more toward a takeout vibe than a dine-in destination. Prices are on the higher side for the portion sizes, but the flavor and authenticity of the dishes can make it worthwhile”

“Service is pathetic, you'll have to usually wait A LOT for the server's attention and then even more for the food to come.
But the food is worth the wait. I hope they increase the servers, the are ALWAYS short staffed, not sure why the management doesn't see it or if the just don't care.”
“Alice was professional and the food and service was excellent. Lovely clam chowder soup. Lady, young girl escorting us to to our seat. had a friendly attitude and her eyes showed her enjoyment of her job.”
