“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you”

We enjoyed the lively atmosphere and the warm, attentive service. The food was tasty overall. I gave 4 stars because the escargot was much smaller than I remember from dining elsewhere. At the end of our meal, we were given a survey card, which showed the management’s commitment to ensuring excellent service. - Xiang”

“Food was delicious, as always. Our server, Anika, was great. The manager, Caesar, was tremendous. He honoured our CAA discount even though it was wing night. We are long term and regular Kelsey customers. We often order more because of the discount. Kelsey's head office needs to stop nickle/diming customers and just honour the CAA discount no matter what.”

“Spacious, good food (limited selection of food, good for a big snack), and it wasn't too loud. Good selection of games for our group of 9. For "Telestrations" I went up to ask for working dry erase markers and the server was able to help. Telestrations is always good for a laugh. All in all a good experience.
I had the tortillas with (temperature) hot nacho dip and jalepeños on the side. The dip was also spicy and good. My total spend was just over $20 with 15% tip and tax (Nov 16, 2024). We also played "Hues and Cues" and "Taboo".”

Overall they do a consistent job of serving up delicious, fresh food. The staff are pleasant and make you feel welcome. It is a comfortable place to have a coffee and relax for a bit.”

“I want to start this review with a WOW, I was helped by Kawal and Priya. Anyways the service was amazing, I’ve been going to subway since I was a child and I have never seen such efficient work as well as friendly service. I heard the Uber eats tablet ringing at multiple times (i work at a restaurant myself) [everytime it went off I didn’t hear it again because Priya or Kawal handled it] but regardless of the influx of online and in person orders it was handled gracefully. All subways are the same menu wise but I will be back to this location based off customer service!!!”

“As someone with a deep and unrestrained loathing for cheese, my first concern when reviewing any order is that they have refrained from adding said product. Not only did they perfectly prepare my breakfast order, but the food was also ready quickly, and the two fellas running the drive-thru window were super friendly. Tightly-run operation.”

Mediterranean • $
“Big kudos to this location! I ordered food for 12 for an after-work meeting. I placed my order over the phone and they were careful to ask for details about the order. When I arrived to pick everything up later that day, everything was ready to go in neat boxes. The people who packed my order were careful not to cram too much into a single box, and even advised me to crack open the tray of fries as soon as I arrived, so they wouldn't get soggy. They were welcoming and friendly and thanked me multiple times for my order. They even helped me carry it out to my car! I was impressed.
The food itself was great as well. Everything got devoured, and the fries in particular were commended (good thing I cracked open the tray!)
I'd definitely have these guys cater another event.”

“I became addicted about two months ago. Almost every week since, I've been ordering their food and sharing the delights with guests. Excellent quality and quantity. Customer service is also wonderful as Akam and team are as fantastic as their food. This restaurant is well-named as their food is indeed a Wow!”

“My boyfriend and I absolutely love the taste of their yang yum red chicken! I've only been to a Korean BBQ so to find something like this small place in Waterloo is perfect. I original came for the kimbap but fell in love with the chicken and bulgolgi bao sandwich. Highly recommend the yang yum meal set because it comes with so much and the japchae noodles are delicious!”
Persian/Iranian • $
“This was my first time trying this Persian restaurant, and I was very satisfied. I ordered the lamb shank rice as takeout, as shown in the photo. The meal costs $17.99, but I believe it had the portion size worth over $20, makes it a very good deal. I consider myself someone with a decent appetite, but it still took me some effort to finish it. The lamb and potatoes were braised to perfection, incredibly tender and soft. You barely need a knife—just a fork is enough to gently pull the lamb apart. The packaging was very thoughtful, and it felt like as long as you carried it horizontally, there was no chance of any spillage. The restaurant’s interior was also quite nice, and I’ll definitely dine in next time.”
Asian Fusion • $$
“Been here a handful of times now and I am convinced this is the best restaurant in Waterloo. The flavours are so unique, the service is so friendly, and the cozy environment makes you not want to leave. Also without a doubt the best glass of ice water I've ever had. Not sure how or why, but wow.”

Love the roast beef sandwich thing!”

“NO WIFI. VERY GOOD AYCE PLACE! Pick 2 broths then go to the fridge and pick all the skewers and plates you can eat and cook it in the broth. One drink comes with the meal and water. Bathrooms are clean. Parking behind the building is free. Pay cash and save 5%. Make your own dipping sauce. Very small tables and chairs but more than enough. Party of 3 came to around $120 with taxes and tip so around $40 each. Would recommend and go again to eat.”

“This place was honestly so great! Top 2 burgers we’ve ever had.
First, the staff was so helpful and courteous to ensure we each got the right burger.
The smash quality on these burgers are truly elite! My husband is going to be talking about his crispy edges for a long time.
We don’t understand how this place isn’t lined up around the block. It’s 10/10 for sure!!!
Saw some previous reviewers have feedback around the patties being thin and crispy…these are smash burgers and made to perfection!!!
Add the chopped chillies! They took it to another level!
Thanks Slap Burgers for the late Sunday lunch. We will be back ?”

“*Caution** Went to this venue for the first time on Friday. There were 2 men luring women who were there alone offering to get them 'closer to the stage'. They happened to approach my friend, and we watched it happen. When I went to my friend and asked how she met them, and she asked if she was okay, she disclosed that they were touching her inappropriately and was blocking her from talking to me. Security was told, bald man about 5'5" and a women security officer approached me. I told them what happened and instead of following up they asked me to leave with no reason provided. Either the security was incompetent or knew the perpetrators. Will never return. Please watch out for each other because those who are there to 'keep you safe' are clearly not. The owner and police are being contacted to provide this information. Disappointing do better protecting your patrons.”

“I really enjoyed the service and sushi here today! The only reason I’m deducting a star is because I would have liked my salad dressing to be packaged separately so I can control how much I want. Also, the sauce drizzled over the dynamite roll was a little too much.
Overall, the sushi is fresh, great price, great portions too!!!
Would definitely recommend and I will be back.
Parking: Parking behind building”

“😁This restaurant is fantastic. I had a gyro with fries. The gyro was quite tasty, and the fries blew my socks off - fresh cut, hot out of the fryer, cooked and seasoned to perfection. The owner was really friendly, and graciously provided some extra fries and samples of the lentil soup as well (which was also tasty!). I hope I can go back again soon!😁”

The crust is perfectly made, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, making it a fantastic base for all their pies. If you're a meat lover, the Meat Lovers pizza is a real treat. But for me, nothing beats the Real Canadian pizza, featuring authentic Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and perfect crust.”

The mandoos made for perfect appetizers, and the soy garlic fried chicken is a must-try – crispy, juicy, and so delicious!
The sides were truly outstanding; I couldn’t get enough of the fish cake, sweet potato, and pickled veggies – they were all so fresh and tasty. The cozy atmosphere and amazing flavors make this spot a new favorite. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m craving Korean food! Highly recommend!”

Tapioca is always spot on, one of the best out of all the bubble tea shops I’ve had drinks from. Can’t beat their drink prices as well.

“A friend of mine and her son went to eat here Monday night. My first time at that location. It started out badly, very badly, the young, long haired, blond bartender was rude and unprofessional. Peyton, Bob and Theodora turned it around for us and with their eager to rectify approach helped turn a very negative experience into a positive one. Peyton was understanding, tentative to my concerns and genuinely wanted to help. Bob was amazing. He came to us with a genuine approach, listened to our issues. We felt heard and respected, in the end, found a reasonable solution we all were happy with. As we were leaving, Theodora held the door for us as she was coming into her shift with a bright beautiful smile, respectful and genuinely nice. These 3 are a great representation of amazing service that should be emulated by the ENTIRE staff, as well as IMO, a lot of establishment's are lacking. Thank you guys and I specifically want to thank Bob again.”

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, made the six of us (one toddler, one 6 weeks old baby, 2 adults, 2 seniors) feel welcome and taken care of, and we were able to enjoy our food which can be quite challenging sometime to dine out with young children. Will definitely be back again!”

“This is a great option for a good quality, sit-down meal on campus. The staff had some struggles understanding the drink orders and requests resulting in an incorrect drink order and quite a lot of time consulting with their co-workers to fix. They could use extra training on the menu as well. Even though it was a set menu they didn't have answers ready about the meal. Eg. What vegetables are with this? I think a little more training for the staff would have made this a 5-star experience as it was a delicious meal with great value on campus.”

“Like all the on campus food places it is really expensive but forced to buy here as I have a meal plan. Beware of the weigh your plate option as prices add up fast. I am from REV and it is worth the 5 minute walk as Mudies has much more options. CMH is a little bigger though. Food is decent, not terrible. If you are able to eat off campus, I would recommend it due to the really high prices.”

“We arrived 10 minutes before the closing time Sunday Nov 3, ‘24 and we were never pushed or felt we were disturbing, very very nice person which I forgot the name, it was so appreciated! Thank you!
Our burgers were excellent, but we are not used to eat a burger with a cold bun and due to how late we were we did not want to ask to have them warmed up.
My meal was entirely gluten free and they were careful.
Thank you, for making us feel welcomed despite the time.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free! I got the Love a goat, which was really good!”

“Spent too much of her time with the regulars that were only drinking. Food was good but took a long time to come to the table. Never more then 3 tables so no reason for slow food or great service
Two people $75 before tip and could not justify even 10% tip”

“Marshall who works at this location is an absolutely great host and helpful not only to the music scene, but to the community. If we had more individuals such as this person, we'd have an even better community than we have.”

“I really liked this place, it was nice to spend a Saturday evening here.
First of all, I would like to note the service - even if there is no free table, you can leave your phone number and they will call you back when a seat becomes available.
Also polite and attentive waiters.
The atmosphere is calm, comfortable, there are a variety of options where you can sit and have a good time.
On Saturday we got to see a wonderful band play and enjoyed Irish tunes, thank you!)
There is a large selection of food and drinks to suit any budget. I would like to share my impressions of the dish (steak, shrimp, mashed potatoes, asparagus).
I have never tried better shrimp, apparently they are grilled, the taste is amazing!!!
The steak was cooked deliciously, well done, just as I ordered.
Asparagus turned out to be a little bland in taste. I think adding a little soy sauce and garlic when cooking would improve its taste.
Mashed potatoes - it turned out to be not a classic taste, it was also poorly suppressed, there were whole pieces.
In general, the visit is full of positive emotions, I definitely want to come again.”

“Another fabulous experience at the Weber St location. A very busy Saturday night because of the Festive Special. The staff are friendly and attentive especially Gail. I must hand it to her she is fantastic. Our waitress had her hands full and Gail stepped in, took our orders, brought us water, etc. She was keeping the whole place together. Thank-you Swiss Chalet staff for another great experience.”

“We stopped at Harvey's in St. Jacobs before my son's hockey game and had a great meal with excellent hospitality. The staff was friendly, and I was especially grateful when I realized I'd lost my purse during the tournament. Mittal at Harvey's had found it and tried several times to reach me and kept it safe until I returned. Her attentiveness and care made all the difference, and I truly appreciate her honesty. Thank you for taking such good care of my belongings!”
