“Tried this spot with my wife, she had the Chapli Kabob Wrap and loved it. I got the Kabob Combo 2; the tandoori skewer was great, but the beef shish kabob wasn’t the greatest. Portion size was generous, easily feeds two. A bit pricey for what it is, but overall a decent meal.”

What a great, family owned authentic mexican joint in Pickering. Super tasty. Will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.”

“Big M Drive-In in Pickering is a great place! Tried it for the first time, and the food quantity and quality were awesome. It’s so clean, the food’s tasty, and the employees are super friendly. I got the grilled chicken on a Kaiser bun with onion rings. The onion rings were big and thick, though I probably wouldn’t get them next time. But I’ll definitely be back for the grilled chicken burger!”

“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”

“Savian was our server and he was fantastic start to finish. He was attentive, engaged with everyone at the table, spoke to the 8 year old like he was a human being and allowed him to order his own meal. We loved that. Savian came by to check on us without making us feel like he was there too often. He made great suggestions, and he was timely. Overall, a fantastic experience. He deserves a raise!”

“Delicious food. Will order again for sure.”

“We were there for Mother's Day lunch. We made a reservation, so we did not have to wait for a table. Our server, Sam was very friendly and effecient in taking our orders. She definitely provided outstanding customer service! Our foods and drinks were well-made and delicious! We will for sure return to this location again!”

“Horn Dawgs BBQ in Pickering is a carnivore’s paradise that redefines what barbecue can be! From the moment you step into the restaurant, the smoky aroma of perfectly cooked meats wraps around you like a warm hug. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone tender, slathered in a sauce so divine it’s practically a religious experience—sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of spice. The pulled pork is a masterpiece, juicy and bursting with flavor, while the brisket melts in your mouth like butter, each bite more heavenly than the last. Don’t even get me started on the cornbread—it’s golden, fluffy, and so addictive I could make a meal of it alone. The staff are warm and happy. If you’re in Pickering, this is a must-visit”

“We receive the best service ever from Sue, she kept checking on us to see if we need anything ?
Love coming to Makimono Pickering and we ask for Sue ☺️☺️”

“Service was slow, but the food was excellent. The wings were cooked to perfection and the West Coast Chop Salad was fresh with lots of goat cheese and avocado. This location continues to be our go to spot.”

“Another season end hockey party at Sabina's! Great buffet and excellent staff! Thanks Suren and Jessica!”

“Great service from staff, especially Niyati. She was so kind to us, and when we ended up being short 14 cents, she paid it for us. Great food, served by great people?”

“With my recent visit to this location, I am fully satisfied with the qaulity and hygiene of the food. customer service is the other virtue that the employees posses. Additionaly, Employees are very welcoming and easy to talk to.”

“Subway’s Footlong Nachos are a solid surprise. The portion is generous, the chips stay crisp under layers of melted cheese, jalapeños, and your choice of sauces and toppings. It’s customizable, filling, and definitely more than just a side snack. If you’re craving something crunchy and loaded, it’s worth a try—especially if you like putting your own twist on things.”

“We are incredibly grateful to the Pickering Tim Hortons team for their generous donation of coffee and timbits to all the volunteers at our school's Wellness Fair. Your support brought smiles, energy, and warmth to everyone who helped make the event a success. It’s heartwarming to see local businesses giving back to the community in such a meaningful way. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and community-minded partner!”

“I recently visited the Tim Hortons at 742 Kingston Rd in Pickering, and I had a fantastic experience! The manager, Erlinda, truly stands out with her exceptional customer service. She was friendly, efficient, and made sure everything was perfect with my order.

The coffee was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming and clean. I also appreciated the quick service during the morning rush. It's clear that Erlinda leads her team well and values customer satisfaction. I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend this location.”

“If you're looking for great fish & chips, look no further! Ben is a fantastic owner, and when dining in, he takes care of you and makes sure you come back again and again.”

“If you're looking for authentic Afghan cuisine, this is the place to be! The taste is absolutely spot-on, with the perfect blend of spices and cooking techniques that bring out the natural flavors of the dishes without overpowering them. I tried their kebabs and mutton shank , rice, and they were cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Serving size is generous. The service was warm and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. A true gem for anyone who appreciates delicious Afghan food. Highly recommended!”

“Tried this place last night and was pleasantly surprised. probably the best pizza in Durham.”

“I recently visited Chick Fiesta and had a great experience overall!

The fried chicken was absolutely fantastic crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside, exactly how fried chicken should be. Every bite was packed with flavor and that satisfying crunch you look for. It’s clear they know what they’re doing when it comes to fried chicken, and I loved it.

We also tried the Peri Peri Chicken, and it did not disappoint. The sauces were tangy and flavorful, just the way authentic peri peri should taste. The peri peri fries were another highlight perfectly seasoned, crispy, and a great complement to the meal.

If I had to mention one small con, it would be that two pieces of the crispy chicken seemed like it had a little less meat near the bone, almost as if some was removed. It could very well have been a one-off mistake, and honestly, given how good the flavor and quality were otherwise, it didn’t take away much from the experience. Please keep the same great taste it's your biggest strength.

All in all, I’ll definitely be coming back, especially for the fried chicken it’s some of the best I’ve had recently!”

“We have gone to Amicis since its opening and have nothing but great things to say about it! Just wanted to share our recent experience with my daughter's wedding dinner. We had 60 people, a 5 course delicious meal, table service for drinks and everything was amazing!! Hot food beautifully presented, cold drinks, the friendliest staff who were so attentive that many of our guests commented and thanked them! We were thrilled with Ada who managed all of our requests, and was there to oversee and assist the top notch servers on our special day! Such a positive experience!! Can not say enough good things about it!!”

“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”

“Great food, service, friendly staff and very clean restaurant with lots of food choices in the menu. Highly recommended !”

“Went there for the first time last night, got the pulled beef burrito. Tremendous bang for your buck, great size, they don't cheapen out on the protein which is well appreciated, and customer service was very polite and helpful. 5 star location!”

“Came here to try fufu for the first time. We had it with the ntaba (grilled goat) and ngombe (beef stew), plantain, and after our meal we had the masala tea and beignets. We dined in, and the customer service was amazing. As soon as we were seated, the lady brought us beignets to try, and it was so good we ended up ordering some. We had it with the masala tea, which had to be the best masala tea I’ve had. Our waiter also brought us the masala tea as soon as we finished our meal, which was very nice. The food was so flavorful and delicious, it felt like home cooked food, very comforting. I would definitely go back!”

“Today, I visited Pizza Hut to take advantage of their amazing deal: one large pizza with two toppings for only $14.98. Not only is this a great price, but Pizza Hut also offers the best pizza. I highly recommend everyone to visit this location because the staff is very friendly and the pizza is delicious. I give it a 10/10 and definitely recommend it!”

“might be the best flamed burger in Southern Ontario.”

“Donna and Tianna are absolutely amazing to work with! They make the most delicious cakes and cupcakes in the Ajax/Pickering area. Upon the opening of Stage 3 here in Durham, we had an event last weekend, and on short notice, they were able to pull off a beautiful 8” cake and 100 cupcakes (combined regular and mini). We cannot thank them enough for being so accommodating, friendly and welcoming whenever we interacted with them (in person and over the phone). The lightness of the buttercream, and moist cake itself was perfect. We received rave reviews from our guests, and highly recommend to give them a try. Thank you again so much, Donna and Tianna, for the spectacular service! We will definitely be back again soon 😊”

“I ordered Hyderabad chicken Dum Biryani, and mutton roast. Both are tasty and I enjoyed the faloviuf of biryani along with mutton roast. Gazzer Halwa was also so tasty. I suggest people to visit charminar Indian cuisine restaurant who likes to taste Indian cuisine and enjoy delicious food.”

“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!”

“All the employees here are always so pleasant and very kind! The service is great, and the food is good and well priced. Definitely beats going to a Tim Hortons or a McDonalds. Their iced coffee is always made perfectly and everything is served quickly as well!”

“One of the best grill places I have eaten”

“Best spring rolls we've had in a long time and wonderful pad thai. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Will be back regularly”

“Best spot to get pizza! Always fresh and delicious 🍕🍕”

“This is a great place to visit with family and friends! When I first entered, I was met with the most lovely scenery that set the mood for the meal, without being overbearing or distracting. The workers undeniably prioritized customer service as they brought a friendly approachable attitude to the restaurant, that you can easily engage with. With regards to the food, with full conviction I can say that this restaurant has got one of the most delicous food items that are bound to wow you! The restaurant offers a variety of delectable, savory, and tangy flavour options that perfectly blend to make the most perfectly crafted dishes (not to forget, they have halal and veggie options too!) If you are a food enthusiast, or simply looking for your new favorite restaurant, you need to check out WOW! Wing House!”

“The Best halal burgers ever had in Pickering”

“We had just been saying last week that Pickering did not have good pizza options, well that all changed tonight! We ordered from Vis à Vis and boy was it good! Thin crust, wood oven pizza with delicious toppings. This will be our new regular for sure! Hope they continue to do well and will make sure my friends know about this place to make sure it stays open. Yum!”

“I honestly don't know why people are giving very bad review on their pizzas and food. I have been a customer for almost 3 years and each and everytime I received excellent customer service, delicious and quality food.
I think some people just trying to spoil the reputation of this place! Whoever is doing this,I am pretty sure they have not even tried a single piece of slice from this place. So please do not put fake feed back and review!!! You may have to face legal consequences if you keep doing this!!!

Once again, Grandpa's Pizzeria is one of the best pizza places that you should try!”

“Paid 12.Xx for this lunch special, Hunan Style Beef! And oh my godddd, food was so fresh and hot, honestly exceptional with the amount of vegetables and beef they give for a lunch special. This photo was taken after I ate more than half of it and still look at how much vegetables and meat there is! And the cashier lady was so nice too! Truly a hidden gem, try it out everyone!”

“we came here on our way back to New Brunswick, we were starving and just picked the first place on maps. oh. my. God. so so good! we were waited on so well, she was so polite! checked in often, was so knowledgeable on the food. just amazing. we will purposely be back.”

“I live in Ajax and prefer this location over the ones in Ajax. The food here is made so much better. For example, the crazy bread in the other 2 locations are not proofed lond enough or something else that causes the crazy breads to be small and hard to chew, and they skimp on the butter and parm. Where as the crazy bread this location makes are puffy, soft and have plenty of butter and parm. This location pays attention to details, which makes their food much more enjoyable. The staff is professional and the store is clean. Plenty of parking.”

“I went for lunch, the place was busy but the line moved quickly. It was Wednesday and the special , J*** wings were excellent. A lot of repeat customers and I will be back!”

“Amazing delicious pizza and staff is so friendly and welcoming . It’s made perfect with all the toppings. Thanks to make it perfect every time. Reason for me to go from Markham to Pickering for yummy pizza .”

“One of the best and well established Thai places in Durham Region. Ive been many times. Hard working, hands-on owner.
Pad Thai is decent. Green Curry dishes are really good. My favorite is the Cashew Chicken. It’s great.”

“5 star They have affordable pizza with great taste. Highly recommended. cheap option is medium pepperoni pizza for $5 only. (All halal.)”

“Hidden gem and a must visit! The chef is from Japan. They serve authentic Japanese cuisine here. The food is very delicious and properly done. Don't judge the interior as it is a tab bit outdated, BUT it's the food that's a home run/slam dunk. It's worth the visit for a taste of real Japanese flavours! AYCE places won't give you the authentic flavours that this place delivers day in and day out.”

“Fun Thursday karaoke nights”

“Awesome breakfast . The pancakes are a totally unique experience”

“me my friend and my brother came here last night we only had 20 dollars but the kind loving and caring owner gave us 2 whole jerk chicken meals. the chicken was so good with the rice and the atmosphere was so clean and wholesome also the service was fast and kind this place deserves more love”

“The staff were super friendly, and the food was delicious and fresh.

Parking: It says it's in the mall, but it's actually its own separate unit attached to the mall.”

“PLEASE READ!!

If you’re looking for the best Mary Brown’s this is one of them. This one along with the other location in Pickering is PEAK Mary Brown’s. High quality sandwiches and juicy, crispy chicken.

I’ve left reviews on the Markham locations closer to where I live and that one is absolute doggy doo doo. Sorry to say, but just because it’s a the same food doesn’t mean it’s the same quality.

GO TO PICKERING FOR YOUR MARY BROWN’S it’s with the trip. And if you live nearby, screw you, I’m jealous. (Haha)”

“I had a great time dining in at BarBurrito! The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients, and the flavors were spot on. The service was quick, and the staff made me feel welcome. I'll definitely be back! As someone from the USA, I was impressed by the variety of options at BarBurrito – even more choices than Chipotle!”

“Excellent chai and loved the ambiance 😊”

“Service and delicious bubble Tea #bubbletea”

“Ever since this place opened we have been loyal customers, staff are awesome always friendly. Soups are so flavourful, ingredients are fresh, you can't go wrong with anything you choose. We were always greeted with the greatest service and hospitality from the founder( the dad) who have since passed away, but his daughter has carried on his impeccable work ethic and he would be so proud of her.”

“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!!”

“Consistently great Gelato here; they even take suggestions for flavours. The Arancini is AH-MAZING here; I never mean to buy it but I do. Lasagne is great, meatballs are great, Veal sandwich? LOVE. Everything here is great. Oh AFFOGATO = YES. 💜”

“Went in on a Monday so my expenditure per person is a lot smaller than avg. Clean place, food came out fast and customer service was on point. I forgot to scan my Mary Browns rewards loyalty and was told how to correct it without any fuss or issues.

Parking: Not a lot of parking in the area for the amount of restaurants in the strip. You might wait a bit during high traffic.”

“Visited Kandahar Kabab with my family, great service and food. We ordered with Dorshana and she was incredibly kind and provided great service. Would recommend the beef kofta kabab dinner and chicken shawarmas. Would visit again.”

“Good spot for lunch, online ordering is fast and ready when we arrive. Consider giving an option for online ordering to put dining in so we don't have to waste the take away bag that the food is packaged in. Would be nice if extra veggies didn't cost 99cents”

“Tasty food and friendly staff!”

“I ordered the Veg Thali with Naan, and overall, it was a decent meal. The thali includes your choice of three curries, served with rice, naan, and raita. I went with Shahi Paneer, Kadi, and Mixed Veg Curry.

The Shahi Paneer was definitely the highlight—rich, creamy, and flavorful. The naan was soft and fresh, which was a nice touch. However, the Kadi and Mixed Veg Curry were just average, lacking the depth of flavor I expected.

One item I highly recommend is their Paneer Kulcha with Chana—we absolutely love it! If you're a fan of paneer dishes, this spot is worth checking out.”
