It was good, great with the dipping sauce.I also ordered a blue drink without reading the description, haha. When it arrived, it was the size of my head. $21 but worth it, it was delicious.

“Had an excellent experience here. Came on a Sunday for all you can eat lunch. Hostess and servers were very attentive and friendly.The food came out fast and fresh!Would definitely visit again!”
“Wing nite on Wednesday. Great deal and orders sent in per single order. This means if you are ordering more than 1 pound for the table, you can change up the flavors. Side veggies or fries was very reasonable also to add to the order. As always you still get chips and salsa while you wait for the food and still on the house.. keep it up Lone Star!”
“Amazing atmosphere, great local place to check out, Food tastes fresh, and service is quick and accurate. Special thanks to Mursan for making our visit enjoyable. Will be returning!”
“Looking at these recent reviews I must say that I wholeheartedly disagree with the people whom had a less Desirable experience, but respect their opinion nonetheless. I can wholeheartedly say that this was not my experience. I approached the counter and was greeted by a friendly associate who took my order. They were pleasant and I told me that my meal would be ready within 6 to 7 minutes. I had sat down and within six minutes it was ready and I must say it was above my expectation. Not only was it delicious it was the most economical choice of all the food court. Not to discredit the other pricing systems I’m just saying that bang bang gives you bang for your buck!. I had talked briefly to the person working behind the cash and then explain to me that they had recently taken over and there are a few growing pains, this probably explains the dissatisfied customers on the reviews. Honestly the chicken sandwich is unbelievable and my companion for lunch , had tried the cheese hotdog combination and they loved it along with the two choices of sauces that they provided. I wish I could remember the names but I’m not certain I know one was a mixture of spicy mayonnaise , and the other one was a chilli sweet savoury sauce. Anyhow I hope you enjoy your experience and I highly recommend.”
“We had a birthday party of 25 people. It made the party a great success. Excellent service. The party Room was very private The service was excellent. Will recommend this venue to everyone for sure. Thank you.Dietary restrictions: One of the guest was very worried about her special diet and was reassured that it is no problem. Thumbs up.”
“I heave gone here quite a bit for the tandoori chicken bowl on the way home usually for school. I saw they had the Ramadan special available and I decided to try it.Inside was a huge tray of rice, sauce, hot sauce, fries and salad. Honestly for the price, it was very good and could easily feed 4-5 people.My only complaint I have noticed, amongst others, and even every time I come here, the chicken is usually pretty dry. The fries were also a bit dried out, but everything else was okay. For affordability and okay food, I recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Halal”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Tim Hortons is an absolute gem in the world of coffee and pastries !The warm and inviting atmosphere coupled with the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee always draws me in. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, making each visit a pleasure. Whether it's their iconic double-double coffee or their mouthwatering Timbits, every bite and sip is a taste of perfection. Tim Hortons has become my go-to spot for a quick pick-me-up or a relaxing break during the day. And drive-through service is simply unbeatable! From the moment you pull up to the window to the moment you receive your order, the experience is seamless and efficient. The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring accuracy and speed without sacrificing quality. Even during busy hours, the wait times are impressively short, making it the perfect option for those on the go. The convenience of getting my favorite Tim Hortons treats without leaving my car has made it my preferred choice for a quick caffeine fix or a tasty snack. Thank you, Tim Hortons, for making drive-through dining a delightful experience every time!”

“Went to Jasper's today and the owner voluntarily disclosed that the oil they use is beef oil, rendering the food impermissible for those on Halal diets.We tried this place a couple years ago (not knowing about the oil) and the food was absolutely scrumptious. Our go-to used to be the fried Haddock and fried Halibut.I'm writing this review today because of their honesty. Not many business owners have this quality in today's day and age.”
“What can I say, simply marvelous. We were a large family group celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious, coupled with top notch service and a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. My blackened salmon was done to perfection.Parking: Ample parking”
“I’m so happy I found this place! Ive only been twice but the service has been super friendly and the coffee selection is amazing. There really is no reason to go anywhere else.”
“Chicken souvlaki was good. Poutine was terrible. Gravy and mozzarella (?) cheese were fine but under cooked frozen fries were very disappointing. I expected fresh cut fries from a location like this.”
“I love this location- the staff is great and add a personal experience every time I come. The store is clean and the ingredients are always fresh. I recommend this location.”
“Country Style on Brock Road in Pickering is a busy location for good reason. Donuts and muffins are fresh and made/baked in-store. Coffee is good and hot. Service is friendly. Well done!”
“Anurag and his team did not miss any detail. They helped plan a menu for our party. They did a live bbq with the most flavourful foods! Their execution was seamless and presentation was beautiful! I would highly recommend Milanu’s for anyones catering needs!”
“My son is turning 10 this week and we've been ordering his birthday cake at this location since his first birthday. Amazing personnel selling noteworthy and delicious pastries at reasonable prices.”
“We went to Helmand for iftar and we loved the food. It tasted fresh, delicious and served timely. The owner went above and beyond and gave us complementary dates and bolani to break our fast. The naans were super soft. The place is not expensive and the bill for all food was under $60.Helmand Kabob is definately serving the best Afghan food in Durham. Highly recommended!!!”
“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!”

“Five stars, the flavours are amazing here. Tried the green chicken curry and fried fish with the cashew chicken. You would assume with these high prices you would get a good portion. Half my containers were filled with bamboo shoots or peppers. Spent $60 and barely felt full with two people.”
“Thank you Joann for our beautiful 25th anniversary cake!! You made our cake to perfection. Decorated beautifully to match our original cake topper from 25yrs ago. Not only was it beautiful to look at the chocolate hazelnut cake was delicious and enjoyed by all!!”
“We had our daughter’s 19th birthday here. We had over 30 people and all the staff were rockstars and handled the party amazingly! The food was delicious! We will be back! Thank you all again!”
“The Ridges is a welcoming, well appointed, local pub. The appointments/games contain: two dart boards, a Foosball table, a pool table, and upwards of twelve big screens showing various sports events. While I've only had a very savoury and thouroughly enjoyable small greek salad with sliced chicken breast, I can feel the care that the kitchen put into their craft. Everyone I've met there has been incredibly friendly and accommodating. The Ridges Pub is a great neighborhood gathering spot!”
“Loved my visit here , they have buffet and also ala carte menu and the best part was their buffet so many delicious new indian curries and the traditionals too.My personal fav has to be kaju curry and veg biryani/ pulao.Other then that they also have huge parking outside the place and their prices are fairly reasonable.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I enjoy going to this coffee spot. When I need to relax, chill and for ideas to flow or to simply get out the house I tend to go. The coffee is good.I won't argue about the price point since my friends pointed out the difference between other coffee shops so now I also buy from others.The ambience and courteous staff is mostly the selling points for me and why I keep returning.Free WiFi too..”
“Let me honest the best thing at Tim Hortons anymore are their breakfast sandwiches. Visited every location in Southern Ontario a few times and it's all gone downhill. This perhaps remains one of the few decent locations. Do not order anything else besides the morning food items, no drinks either. Visit another shop if you want better caffeine beverages. The owner has hired more Canadian born workers than other places. This has led to better food quality since migrant employees have always rushed me in service.”
“A JAVA ☕️ GEM IN PICKERING !Nestled in the heart of Pickering , this coffee place has surpassed all expectations. The quality of their coffee is unparalleled , boasting rich flavours . The ambience is a delightful blend of coziness and sophistication , making it and ideal spot for both work and leisure .What truly sets this place apart is the warm and inviting nature of the proprietors . They’re a husband and wife team with a genuine passion for coffee and dedication to customer satisfaction.I’m a overseas visitor to Pickering and this place is my daily mid - morning cappuccino spot.Wishing them all the best in their business ?.”
“I have recently visited the 1099 Kingston road location on two occasions. I have been served by Suzy. Who is friendly, helpful and such a blessing when we come in. This company should know that she is an asset to it. Thanks Suzy. It is a pleasure to come and receive excellent customer service.”
“Dawson greeted us and took our order. He is AWESOME. He is friendly and probably a lot of fun. He made us smile. Polite, friendly AND professional. Just wish our delicious burgers had less mustard on them. Dawson is perfect for your drive-thru window. Thanks.”
“Such an amazing location if you actually want the staple food here which is their chicken. It's always fresh which is obvious by the soft meat. They truly know how to serve customers all these years. You never go wrong with an order of whole chicken.”
“Great environment and super affable service. The food was crisp and yummy. Will easily recommend this spot to my friends. Convenient rates and generous meals. Good job.”
“I haven't been to a burger king in years so I decided to go in to grab dinner. I grabbed a combo,I think it's was some kind of chicken roadhouse sandwich. It was good. The fries were really good actually. The biggest disappointment was the cherry Coke. It tasted mouldy and was disgusting, I had left to eat while on break at work so wasn't close enough to take it back. That was pretty disgusting. I ended up throwing the drink away.”
“As a person who goes here often, it's only right that someone leaves an accurate review. I can only speak for the drive-thru since I have never been inside. Line moves quickly, orders are correct all the time so far, employees are kind, the food is for the most part up to par. Keep it up! Most people will leave a bad review the moment they have had a bad experience, this is just human nature. I am comparing this location to a lot of other locations, I have nothing negative to say for this Wendy's.”
“I am a regular at this location and go here basically everyday. I've had some experiences in the past with the employees but since giving them my 2 cents, I've never had the same issue repeat itself. They know my face and always give great customer service every time I go, which I why I am giving 5 stars.Parking: Parking is not necessary, but there are a few spots. This is not a dine-in location.”
“I AM AMAZED WITH THIS LOCATION! I drive a lot and am always all over Ontario, so I am very familiar with Tim's. I have never. EVER. Seen such a well oiled machine at all, let alone one that still provides fantastic customer service and great quality food/drink! I pulled in at 9:55am with 6 cars ahead of me. I pulled out at 9:57 with a medium double double and a TOASTED bagel BELT. The coffee was perfect, and the bagel was assembled and toasted beautifully and not sloppy at all. Not to mention when I pulled up to pay, the two women standing there were so friendly and when they noticed I almost dropped my coffee bringing it through the window, didn't break stride and gave me napkins+told me to drive safe. These women are ANGELS and I could tell how hard they work to keep this busy location moving efficiently. 10000/10. I work close by and usually avoid drive thrus when I can, I will be coming back asap.”
“The morning crew are phenomenal! Orders are always accurate and quick. Drive thru staff are exceptional! Very friendly. They make the drive thru experience enjoyable!”
“Tried this place and there burgers and homemade fries are the best in fast food I have ever tasted. The manger and staff are so friendly and helpful. Cant wait to go back there.”
“Service great and good great! We left and unfortunately wound up with a flat tire. We were welcomed back in and given some fries on the house. Would recommend this place to anyone ❤️”
“Great local pub with a variety of food options on the menu. They are really known for their wings but a lot of food on the menu is good. Amanda was our last server and she was excellent and was very attentive and very knowledgeable on the menu.”

“Chetna was the one who took my order and she was amazing. Super sweet smile and just good vibes. The food was great too I got the big Mary Monday special and it did not disappoint.”
“The food was delicious. I've been looking for a decent ramen place in Durham and ippon ramen knocks it out of the park! The service was great, the staff was so attentive. Definitely going back regularly.”
“The samosas were amazing we ordered a total of 16 samosas + 2 complementary Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket. The quality of the samosas taste rich and are better than any samosa I've had in Canada. Would recommend to try these samosas if you ever come to Pickering.”
“I stopped for the 1st time today. Wow, I had the peameal on a bun with onion rings. Definitely will stop again and try something else. It was quite steady people coming picking up there orders.”
“Great experience at Chachis Chai bar last weekend after hearing many good things from neighbors and friends. Got the spicey turkey panini and butter chicken poutine and it was DELICIOUS. Made fresh to order and we can really taste the difference. Drinks were also good (we had the mango drink with jelly and noodles). Will definitely come back to try more things.”
“Fantastic food and even better serviceGenuinely amazing people who care about their food and customer base. I always have a great meal and leave with a smile6/5 if ”
“Very new store and new on Uber eats but we were sooooo excited that this chain opened up in Pickering! It’s Kung fu tea but not the same menu as in Markham and other Canadian locations. This is the first that has the American menu. Not sure if it is because the time we ordered (near end of day) but lots of out of stock drinks. There was a slight hiccup with the Uber system that made the store only see one drink and they called us to say it was out of stock too. Uber delivered it with just one drink when we ordered 4, so the owners called and made the drinks when the store was already closed. Another drink was out of stock but they made us an alternative drink. They had a worker deliver and refund us the entire Uber order in cash. Very unexpected and great customer service. The drinks were really good too! Looking forward to ordering more! Very impressed with the drinks and most importantly the customer service. Welcome to another good bbt chain here to Pickering!”
“AMAZING pizza! We recently moved to the area and have been missing our old favourite from back home. Gino’s Famous was recommended as the neighbourhood original and I am glad we gave it a try. Perfect pizza, looks just like the pictures. Cooked perfectly (not too much and not too little) and dough is delicious. Very generous with toppings and they are FRESH, yet do not make the crust soggy — hate it when that happens! Leftovers heat up well and taste just as great. The Caesar salad is enormous, fresh and delicious. The panzo was just okay. I wouldn’t try it again but will stick with the pizza.PLEASE DO NOT confuse this place for Gino’s Pizza on Bayly, which is a chain and is trash. They have paid people for fake reviews to boost their score and people are leaving reviews here that are meant for the other place. Don’t be confused and make sure to eat here at Gino’s FAMOUS Pizza and you will not be disappointed! In business for over 20 years and there’s a reason why! Support local and not the disgusting chain.”
“This burger restaurant exceeded my expectations with its exceptional homemade meat patties. The flavor was rich, and the texture was perfectly juicy. The attention to detail in crafting each burger showcased the chef's dedication to quality. A must-try for burger enthusiasts!”
“This place is a W! If I could, I would give this place 10 stars - I’m amazed and can’t rave about their food enough.Firstly, the owners and servers they were absolutely amazing! Warm atmosphere - check! Their jerk chicken sandwich was the biggest win for me tonight! It’s easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had since I moved here. It was loaded with chicken, had a crunchy patty and fresh coleslaw. And because we’re foodies, my friends and I also ordered their jerk wings, plantain and jerk chicken on rice and devoured all of that…Their portions are huge and their flavours are authentic.All in all, we were beyond happy after our dining experience here. Can’t wait to be back to try something new. Alwyns goes ALL IN!”
“I had their Richview, poutineThey're juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The buns are soft and toasted just right. And the toppings? Oh man, they have such a great variety to choose from. Whether you're into classic cheeseburgers or more adventurous flavors, they've got you covered.The atmosphere in the restaurant is also really cool. Plus, the staff is super friendly and always ready to make sure you have a great dining experience.I highly recommend checking out 6ix Side Burger if you're in the mood for some seriously mouthwatering burgers. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!”
“Been coming here for years. It's absolutely delicious. Peri fries are best in Durham region. Really good peri peri chicken! Whole chicken, half chicken, everything taste great.”
“I went just to try the pizza. I hadn't had it before, so I wanted to try it. I've had all the rest.It was Fantastic, and I'll be back!4 toppings. It was Full, not greasy, and it was Great Pizza.”
“Birthday cakes that we ordered were amazing. They are nut free bakery, highly recommended if you’re looking for school friendly cakes.Dietary restrictions: Nut free bakery”
“These guys are amazing......the best burgers for sure. The owner gave me a couple of drinks and free poutine because I forgot to originally order them with my order, dude is a Legend. Full support to the whole team from SWIFT CONTINENTAL & DARE MIGHTY CREW TEAM!”
“Tried it out as I heard good things about it.Flavours were good but the rolls were very loose and fell apart quickly. Ordered the green dragon roll and the jumbo spider roll. The rolls were smaller than I expected as these are special rolls. The tempura like item on top of the jumbo spider roll seemed overfried and hollow inside without much content.For the price, it is quite expensive for what is offered compared to other restaurants around the GTA, but they do have good flavours.The environment was also quite dark. Nice quiet place to have a meal but a bit of interior renovation would definitely help up the dining atmosphere.Overall, would come back again but too expensive for top choice.”
“Low key, very small tasting room (14 Seats) with 8 taps, plus beer in cans, some nitro. Friendly service and dog friendly. Friendly service and dog friendly. If you ask Carolyn nicely, she'll make you a batch of popcorn that you can dress up with your choice of flavored salt. Oh, and outstanding beer. Pop and water for the non-beer drinkers.”
“Great portion sizes dishes packed with flavour and friendly staff. I had the Malay curry, red curry and chicken pad Thai. Everyone enjoyed their food. I also recommend the appetizer platter it’s truly good for sharing fast delivery reasonable ”
“I always loved this place. I used to work nearby in the 1990s and would come here for lunch. Last summer we got to go back a few times. The service was excellent and so was the food. Large portions and friendly service haven't changed!”
“Food is very good , service is ol but not so friendly , we had a hair in one of the sushi plates and when we pointed to the lady ,she was not happy and she called the manger , who came kind of angry , pulled the hair out and kept arguing that it is not one of his staff, he even pulled out and put it on a piece of tissue trying to prove his point.”
“This is the only location me and my family will go to, the food is best kn Fridays and Saturdays in my opinion. Hard to find good Chinese guyanese food. It's all about the cook and they got that good one! My husband's favorite is Alex chicken and pepper shrimp and me and my kids like the veggie lomein and crispy wingsVegetarian options: They have tasty steamed vegetables and egg rolls”

“Great food and close to home. The owner was amazing. He went out of his way to provide us with the best food and service. He's been in the service industry for along time and I can tell. There are no shortcuts to the food. I will definitely come again. My wife loved her meal. She had a steak salad that he made even though it wasn't on the menu. It was delicious. My daughter loved the bacon poutine and she ate the whole thing. I had the double destroyer burger. Oh wow!!! It was huge and tasty. The fries were perfectly cut and cooked. The place was so clean. The washrooms were immaculate. For great food by a family run business come here. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ask for Sri... He's the owner.”
“What can I say, simply marvelous. We were a large family group celebrating a birthday. The food was delicious, coupled with top notch service and a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. My blackened salmon was done to perfection.Parking: Ample parking”
“AMAZING pizza! We recently moved to the area and have been missing our old favourite from back home. Gino’s Famous was recommended as the neighbourhood original and I am glad we gave it a try. Perfect pizza, looks just like the pictures. Cooked perfectly (not too much and not too little) and dough is delicious. Very generous with toppings and they are FRESH, yet do not make the crust soggy — hate it when that happens! Leftovers heat up well and taste just as great. The Caesar salad is enormous, fresh and delicious. The panzo was just okay. I wouldn’t try it again but will stick with the pizza.PLEASE DO NOT confuse this place for Gino’s Pizza on Bayly, which is a chain and is trash. They have paid people for fake reviews to boost their score and people are leaving reviews here that are meant for the other place. Don’t be confused and make sure to eat here at Gino’s FAMOUS Pizza and you will not be disappointed! In business for over 20 years and there’s a reason why! Support local and not the disgusting chain.”

“Ravinder is very professional and very experienced person in this store. She knows every part of the burger king information. Even other employees are also very quick in taking orders and processing them. The store is clean and tidy and sanitised accordingly... had a very good experience from this place... ?”
“Been shopping here since we discovered the stores throughout Durham about a year ago while in North Oshawa. Since we live in Toronto, this one is the closest. Amazing staff, some fantastic products, some are a bit pricey, but they are shipped from the UK, so worth the additional costs. Fresh baked goods are amazing. The pies selection is fantastic, our Fave is steak and onion. I love the discounts they offer for items that have gone past their sell by date. Best before doesn't mean bad after ;-) Member discounts are awesome too. You guys are doing a great job.”
“This place is a W! If I could, I would give this place 10 stars - I’m amazed and can’t rave about their food enough.Firstly, the owners and servers they were absolutely amazing! Warm atmosphere - check! Their jerk chicken sandwich was the biggest win for me tonight! It’s easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve had since I moved here. It was loaded with chicken, had a crunchy patty and fresh coleslaw. And because we’re foodies, my friends and I also ordered their jerk wings, plantain and jerk chicken on rice and devoured all of that…Their portions are huge and their flavours are authentic.All in all, we were beyond happy after our dining experience here. Can’t wait to be back to try something new. Alwyns goes ALL IN!”
“I just discovered this place since working in Pickering over the last week and after my first visit, I’ve been back every day. It’s my new favourite. Who would have thought to put toppings and sauces on perogies?! So glad I discovered it. Banni is the lovely lady that has been working every time I’ve been in for lunch and she is so sweet and knowledgeable! Today she sold me on Buffalo chicken perogies and they were delicious! I took a menu today so I can plan out what I will be getting the rest of the week. I can’t get enough of this place so I thought I’d suggest it to everyone else! Hopefully Banni is working when you come because she is so helpful and really guides you through your first experience with custom suggestions and she knows her stuff! Thanks Banni & loaded pierogi for my new favourite spot!”

“Lamb chops are magical!Today was my first time at this restaurant and I decided to try the lamb chop dinner for takeout.The Lamb was beautifully seasoned, extremely tender and the fat melted in my mouth.I can say without any doubt or hesitation that this was the best Lamb I've had in my life.For context, I have helped on a friend's farm years ago who raised sheep and I've had many dishes with them.My wife and mother had the falafel and beef shawarma which they enjoyed.Next time, I'll ask for an extra sauce on the side to enjoy with the rice but that's the only change I'd make.Parking: Virtually unlimited parking with Tesla stations nearby and Flo a short walking distance.”
