“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”

“Fantastic wings - best I have ever had. Everything was superb except the music was too loud: we couldn't hear one another talk.”

“If you're craving authentic kebabs in Waterloo, Kebob Shack is the place to go. I recently visited with a big appetite and left completely satisfied. We ordered the Bihari Kebab with rice and salad, Chicken Kebab with rice, Chicken Skewer with rice, and the Mix Kebab with rice and salad. Every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.
The Bihari Kebab was the highlight for me. It had that authentic smoky taste and tenderness that instantly reminded me of the kind of kebabs you rarely find outside of South Asia. The seasoning was spot on, and it paired perfectly with the rice and fresh salad. The chicken kebab and chicken skewer were juicy, flavorful, and grilled just right. The mix kebab platter was also fantastic, giving us a chance to try different varieties, and every bite was delicious.
What I appreciated most was how fresh everything tasted. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the food arrived hot and fresh. It's not easy to find truly authentic kebabs that hit the spot, but Kebob Shack absolutely delivered. They genuinely fulfilled my craving for real, authentic kebabs in Waterloo. I'll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great kebabs.”
“Never knew this place existed--found it on the web. I had the Yummy Burger, Fries, and Onion Rings. The Yummy Burger is absolutely the best burger in town. I love the flavours of all the toppings. The fries and onion rings are also very good. Can't wait to try some of their other food items as well.”
“Ayer fuimos de visita a esta pizzeria, ya estaban cerrados y nos abrieron para atendernos. Valió la pena ya que todo estaba riquisimo desde la pizza hasta los palitos de mozarella. Si volviéramos a Canada lo visitariamos y lo recomendamos 100%. Gracias por su excelente atención.”
“This place never ceases to impress! We had a lovely lunch on Saturday; we were a total of 3 adults and 4 children. The staff, service and food were phenomenal as always! The GM, Aaquib Mohammed and crew are always a pleasure to deal with and make sure we always leave happy. If you want to try the best pizza in town, you need to give Famoso a try!”
“This is the first Daldongnae Korean BBQ restaurant opened in the Waterloo, the restaurant group originated from the GTA. This restaurant holds up to other locations in North York and Mississauga. Easily the best KBBQ restaurant in the Waterloo region.
As expected with Daldongnae they serve high quality cuts of beef and pork which really elevate the KBBQ experience. I enjoyed their seafood pancake as well, it was nice and crispy with a good amount of seafood.
The service was very friendly and efficient, they are experienced as I recognized a few people which have worked at the Mississauga location.”

The food was so incredible fresh and delicious! Best meal we have had out in a very long time . This is by far such an amazing place to eat ,,relax and unwind with friends or family ! My new favorite ❤️ Thankyou to the staff at Browns social house for such an amazing experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ T .Pringle”
“I want to personally thank the team at Sole for such an amazing birthday dinner !! The few times I have come I have always had a great experience but when I went to book online it looked like it was full booked up. Aniko saw my post looking for different options made it happen and found us a table! I thought that was the great deed end there but the whole experience made me feel so extremely special. Being welcomed in like I was a friend to when I got to my table I had flowers and a birthday card waiting for me🥹 those who have December birthdays know we often get slacked but the team made me truly feel special! Drink options were delicious and made fresh. Had a baked Brie with fresh mixed berry sauce as an appetizer. Dinner was phenomenal I had smoked chicken (tasted like the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had) and for dessert they came out with a special birthday crème brûlée and truffles! As a group we also ordered the triple layer chocolate cake (will be something I will be dreaming of for a while haha). To share what my friends had- a salmon with a salad and beef short rib. Everything was so delicious and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take time to think about proper pairing/flavouring and how to make the food taste good. Thank you again Solé Uptown (especially Aniko) everyone I strongly recommend if you are looking to have a great dining experience to go to Sole ❤️”
“My partner and I went to this place with our friend and our reviews are the following:
Sof:
I enjoyed the beet root salad, which was an amazing vegetarian option! We got different sauces on the side to customize our food the way we like it, which was really appreciated. Spinach dip was really delicious and served with fresh chips.
Renzo:
The Bauer Burguer has a decent size for its price and the fries had a good flavour. There is a fast phased atmosphere and the costumer service is really good.”
“Stopped by milestones Waterloo yesterday for some beer and to grab a quick bite with friends and had such a great experience. The food came out hot, fresh, and tasted amazing.
A big shoutout to our server, Jamaica, who made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being over the top. She had a great attitude and made us feel really welcome from start to finish.
Great food, awesome service, and a really good atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully Jamaica is working next time too. Highly recommend!”

“I rarely give really positive reviews but this is an exception. This is an excellent restaurant without qualification. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was polite, friendly and fast. The decor is attractive, intelligent and works. This is a place I intend to return to.”

“Came in with my junky homeless friend and they were very respectful of the smell my friend was giving off. Nothing like sausage and egg mc muffins when you've been up all night sketching my brains out. They gave me all the umpf I needed to get me to that rave last night. So thanx McDonalds for keeping me dancing.”
“Jashandeep was awesome she gave me full ice cap it was amazing and Chan service was great nice team players Tims
This is me giving a review a second time Name Abigale she was awesome too exceptional service all of the people who work are awesome here been coming here almost for an year or more”
“I really love Tim Hortons for their food and drinks. I’ve been to this location several times, and it’s been consistently good. The team is always polite, the restaurant is clean, and my order is usually ready faster than expected. It’s nice to have a place where you can count on friendly service and a good cup of coffee every time.”
“Finn is a great barista! He pays close attention to every order detail, making sure my iced coffee with oat milk is prepared exactly as requested and tastes perfect every time. He truly reflects outstanding hospitality with his friendly attitude and excellent customer service.”
“Hands down the best coffee to align to my taste. Has good amount of seating. The last visit for Dine-in left a sour taste however. My coffee along with several other orders were continued to be kept at the counter. The display kept showing my order was in progress along with every other order (obviously it was not working/helping). No one was calling for names to get their order picked up (had few others waiting alongside with me). After good 10 mins of waiting, looked into the pile myself and grabbed my order of coffee. Requesting either to fix the screen so it gets updated or at least call out the name in the order (like every other Tim Hortons does).
I will still go, but will prefer Drive thru (the drive path has a big water drain - which I dont think we can do anything about it, but could have avoided while desining the pathway).”
“Stopped by here for an after-movie snack with 7 of us. The food was fresh, arrived quickly, and tasted as it should. The restaurant was moderately busy, but the staff were helpful. One of us dropped our medium fries on the floor, and the staff didn't hesitate to give us a new one for free, which we very much appreciated. Thanks for the excellent service and experience.”
“Everything was perfect, especially the cakes. Interior is also very nice”
“Our server Taylor was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service and a wonderful experience. Would definitely come back, especially if Taylor was our server again:)”

“The food here is always really good and affordable, especially for two people. My usual order is the volcano chicken cold ramen and the spicy fried rice cakes. Both are packed with flavor and never disappoint. The portion sizes are amazing so you definitely get good value. not to mention they have HALAL options as well which is definitely a plus.
The service is also great. The staff are friendly and quick to help with anything you need. The place has a relaxed type of vibe, which makes it perfect for a casual meal.
It’s easily my go to spot whenever I’m in Waterloo area.”
“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!”
“First time walking in and i got the best vibes. The owner was on a phone call and step[ped out but welcomed me warmly! The older man who made my sandwhich was a delight! Very genuine energy from them all. The Cajun sandwich was made to perfection! The chicken actually tastes like chicken and was seasoned decently. Im sure you could ask for more or less seasoning as its mixed in house. I love that its entirely customizable so you can make it just like you would at home. The produce was really fresh and they keep everything sealed and organized. Not a fruit fly or bug in sight, super clean place overall. I had no idea what to add, and i love a chicken greek salad so that inspired my toppings (mozzarella, feta cheese, lettuce, green peppers, cucumber and tomato) and dressing style (greek feta, olive oil, garlic mayo). I rate it a 9/10, honestly. My total was $20.32, kinda pricey but honestly worth every buck. That price was after I got a 15% discount and added chips and a mango smoothie (the owner said it was a family recipe from their mother, and it smacked!). I'll defintely come back for a sandwhich”
“Time of order 4:15 / cashier n / First time eating at a Pizza Nova. Large 3 topping thin crust pizza and 2 pounds of wings BBQ and Medium. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My wife picked this up and drove 5 minutes back and food was still very hot. Amazing crust, fresh toppings, great quality wings, and most important, not at all salty and we did not feel bloated afterwards. We have been searching for a decent pizza place now for a long time. This is going to be the place from now on. We look forward to trying more from the menue. Thank you to the friendly and very helpful staff.”
“Have been a long time fan, from the delicious drinks and treats to the adorable decor and merchandise. Today was my first time back post Covid. Staff was friendly and cheerful but the wait time was actually really bad. Had I known it would take 25 minutes to receive one bubble tea, I would have gotten my drink before my lunch. Unfortunately couples coming in after me were receiving their drinks before I did. Love the new straws and can overlook that they do break easily, because they’re much better than paper!”
“I am from British Columbia and when i visited there my friend take me to the grand malabar. They provide with best food and good customer service Please try the Fish nirvana its superb”
“Great meal, great service! Thanks Avery for taking care of us!”
“tried for the first time on valentines Day! was glad we made a reservation because it was bumpin. my husband is not easy to get to like Mexican food, but he says this is his new fave spot for it! best margarita I ever had, too. great prices, great service, great atmosphere. they had a water pitcher and tortilla chips with a selection of salsas out for us on arrival. the nachos were literally incredible - we added the beef - and the birria tacos were amazing. can't say enough good about this place. mouth is watering writing this review lol.”

“Wow this place makes a delicious smash burger. I order the double combo and loved every bite. My only complaint is that they no longer serve fresh cut fries but I understand that these are labour intensive and consistency in quality is difficult. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, not bad for a frozen french fry.”
“Wonderful food, fantastic interior, and great location--on Northfield, between Bridge and University. Also a community-minded business. A must-visit establishment. Dog-friendly for well-behaved dogs on leashes. (I'm not a dog person, and I didn't feel nervous for a second.)”
“The prices at this place are pretty good. 2 rolls for $10 is the daily special. We got the spicy salmon and crab avocado roll ($10 daily special). The weekly special (around $12.95) which is the dynamite roll and spicy salmon roll and then lastly the salmon poke bowl (around $17.95).
Usually when I eat sushi I feel like I got hit by a truck after but when I ate here I felt great. The salmon tastes amazing and they give you big fatty pieces in the poke bowl. The texture of the rice is different than other sushi places though. I can’t put my finger on how it’s different, it’s not a bad thing though and may have contributed to why I don’t feel so full and bloated after. I am definitely coming back here again for a quick sushi fix!”
“Stopped in for some coffee and a snack. Welcoming staff, nutritious and quality food, and the coffee was great too!😀”
“Where does one begin….by far the best take out chicken we have had in a very long time. But what will bring us back is the staff. By far the best service and kindness received. Everyone was working as a team and yes smiles on their faces! We pre ordered our food online and get this, they got it right the first time. Never happens for us anywhere else. Like I said just an all around amazing experience and so proud to support a company that has great staff.”
“I see why this place has such great reviews. We really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and fries, the sauces were tasty as well. Very nice staff as well. Will definitely be coming 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.”
“Was so excited to make it to Waterloo to try Tsujiri. Service was exceptional. Loved the Yuzu Citron Parfait. Also had the Dango and 3 mini cakes 😋. Looking forward to going back to try some lattes and noodles and pretty much everything on the menu. The mini cakes made a great birthday gift and came in a stunningly elegant black sculptural box😍. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
“We tried his paneer kathi roll its nice once everyone can try”
“Love the Butter chicken and rice, although I do find it EXTREMELY spicy. I wish there was a way to retain the flavors without all the heat, but I guess one goes with the other. I had pre-ordered on line the lunch sized butter chicken but it wasn't ready when I arrived. Had to wait about 10 minutes for it but the guy apologized and gave me the large size at no additional cost so all was good. 😋”
“Whether it is sitting and writing in my journal, or if I need to focus and work on my laptop, or simply having a chat over coffee with a friend, i find Cafe22 to be one of the most special cafes in the Kitchener-Waterloo area! I am so grateful I found this special spot, which I consider a hidden gem! An absolutely charming, cozy, and relaxing atmosphere and decoration; delicious food and beverages; and most importantly an extremely kind and welcoming staff! I have to say that Daniela’s friendliness and genuine care and warmth add a lot to the whole experience as well! Highly recommended!”
“Just had an amazing meal at this spot! The atmosphere was super chill and inviting, making it a perfect evening out. Seriously, the flavors were incredible, and everything tasted so fresh. I'll definitely be coming back here again soon. Highly recommend checking this place out!”
“I had these amazing apple fritters for the first time about 7 years ago on our first visit. Had to have them again for the second time last week on Thursday August 11th 2016. Had them with ice cream and maple syrup. Sure wish you could ship, your favourite customers in New Brunswick!”
“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.”
“Stopped by milestones Waterloo yesterday for some beer and to grab a quick bite with friends and had such a great experience. The food came out hot, fresh, and tasted amazing.
A big shoutout to our server, Jamaica, who made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being over the top. She had a great attitude and made us feel really welcome from start to finish.
Great food, awesome service, and a really good atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully Jamaica is working next time too. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was fantastic. She greeted us immediately, took our order quickly, our food came out promptly and tasted delicious. She was very pleasant and went over and above to serve us and make the experience wonderful!”
“I walk by here every day on my way home from work. Today I finally decided to give it a try! I ordered the Tempura Bento and Chicken Karaage. Both were delicious! Neither of these dishes were overly greasy in texture and they were both wonderfully seasoned! The service was quick and the servers were polite and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing and the decor was stylish and eye-popping. Overall, I really enjoyed the food! I wish I would have tried it sooner! Definitely looking forward to going again! Thank you :)”
“Great food, and service! Everything was hot and very tasty!! The price is right for the quality of food!”
“The best karahi I’ve ever had! The food was absolutely amazing, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience. Highly recommended—a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic karahi!”
“Famous charcoal outdoor Korean bbq. Best Korean frozen Soju place in the city.”
“Phenomenal experience! Our server Jessica went above and beyond to make our experience incredible. The food was amazing, great atmosphere and overall experience. Highly recommend and will be back!”
“The space is beautiful, the service was friendly, attentive and quick. The food though… was next level delicious! Best pad Thai I’ve ever had! The hot egg coffee was so decadent. Food came out quickly. Portions were huge! I have enough for lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to try something new next time.”
“Scott was fantastic and the wings were wonderful, big screens and playoff hockey! Can't go wrong...”
“I recently had the pleasure of enjoying food from Filipino Fusion Gayuma Catering, 401 Weber St N, Waterloo, and I was absolutely impressed by both the quality and the flavour of their dishes. Every bite reflected care, balance, and authenticity with a creative twist that made the meal unforgettable.
The Spicy Bulgogi Pork with Kimchi and Zucchini was a standout. The pork was perfectly tender, marinated in a flavorful sauce that hit the ideal balance of heat and sweetness. The spice built gradually but never overwhelmed, pairing beautifully with the crunch and tang of the kimchi. The zucchini added a refreshing, slightly sweet contrast that tied the whole dish together — a vibrant, well-rounded fusion of flavours.
The Chicken Lemongrass with Rice was equally impressive. The chicken was juicy, aromatic, and infused with the bright, citrusy notes of lemongrass. It was comforting yet exciting — the kind of dish that makes you stop after the first bite and smile. The rice was cooked just right, absorbing the savoury juices from the chicken for a truly satisfying finish.
Overall, Filipino Gayuma Catering delivered an exceptional experience. The food was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with love and attention to detail. I would highly recommend them for any event or gathering — your guests will be raving about the food long after the last bite!”
“The first restaurant I ever tried kalamata olives!!! And the best Greek salad ever 😍This was probably 20 years ago. So glad the Jane Bond cafe is still going strong. Live in northern Alberta now. But may have to visit when I’m in Ontario this summer 🤔”
“I will start with the positives. I definitely recommend Ken Sushi, every experience has been great except this one! Today we were not happy with the service. Our waitress was very pushy and made us feel like we were eating at a fast food restaurant! We felt like we were being hurried to place our order and not given time to decide what we wanted to eat. We had to remind Sunny that we ordered tea, the first item delivered was the gioza and they had to be returned because they were over done. We had to remind her that we ordered Miso soup. The food was ok but the service made the food not enjoyable. We tried new dishes suggested by Sunny but if we took the time to order we would not have ordered the grilled octopus. Dining out is not just about the food but the entire experience and this one was bad!”
“Always a pleasure to dine here. Staff is friendly and efficient and the food is awesome. Recommend to all my friends”
“Kang was an incredible waiter. Great attitude, very knowledgeable, very patient. Give 👏🏻 that👏🏻 man👏🏻 a👏🏻 raise👏🏻!!”
“Great cocktails. Nice live music I really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere.”
“My favourite bubble tea shop ever! The tapioca is always warm and chewy and the menu has tons of options! I love the matcha tea latte and the rose oolong milk tea. The lavender oolong milk tea is delicious too. Delicious!”
“Wonderful atmosphere for live music! Incredible rotation of jazz bands, great sounds and stage setup. Vibrant community. Pub has something for everyone at reasonable prices. Friendly staff.”
“We have been to this Swiss Chalet multiple times. Service has typically been slow. Today was an exception. We had Nicole as our server and she was a dream. She attended to us quickly. Our order was placed immediately and came out quickly. She was patient with my two boys and gave me kids coop cards and my boys an opportunity to get a toy from the treasure box. Despite the warm conditions in the restaurant she remained kind and attentive.”
“MY FIRST TIME HERE FOR LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. FANTASTIC PIZZA AND THEIR PIZZA CRUST IS AMAZING. KEERAT, OUR SERVER WAS HELPFUL MAKING SUGGESTIONS AND FULFILLING ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTS TO OUR DRINKS AND MEALS. BRIJESH AND DHRUVIL (THEIR COOKS) EVEN CAME OUT TO ENQUIRE ABOUT OUR MEALS AND TO WISH ME, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL MANY HAPPY RETURNS. THEIR VANILLA PANNA COTTA WAS DELISH! I AM CERTAINLY PLANNING ON RETURNING TO TRY OUT ONE OF THEIR FRESH PASTA DISHES.”
“Visited with a friend yesterday. The food is reasonably priced for its quality. Ordered 3 dishes and 2 rice for 3 ppl, 70$+. The service is very basic but it has a reasonable environment for dining out. It is unique to offer memberships that you can use for collecting points which can later be used for store discounts. Would be a good place to checkout if feeling lazy.”
“It’s a family tradition for us to visit this place at least once a year. Not only that we buy meat, dairy, eggs, and vegetables, etc, but we come to this place for their famous apple fritter and other foods from different culture.”
“Amazing place! Excellent customer service and huge range of products! I highly recommend this place!!”
“This sushi is delicious! Honestly the best bento sushi I’ve ever had, the family who now operates this location really knows how to balance flavours and texture. I stop by this location regularly.”
“This was a very pleasant surprise - it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a full service restaurant in a Hampton Inn in North America. The food was good and limited to simple fare. There’s a couple of types of Ontario wine available. It’s quiet. Best of all was the excellent service.”
“Excellent experience. Met the owner and she was very professional and jovial. Will definitely return”
“I went to The Works with my husband yesterday for lunch and we had the best burger and fries. We sat outside on the patio and had a great server who was very nice and polite as well. We are planning to go there again soon.”
“Good service and a delighted dining environment. All Japanese foods were freshy made and with Japanese styled; should enjoy a happy dining experience in here. 👌”
“Great experience at St. Louis Bar & Grill! The food was delicious, especially the wings, and everything came out fresh and hot. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Definitely coming back!”
“the vegan pizza is soooooo good. do build your own. 5/5 I will be back for more. good vegetarian and vegan options”
“Incredible atmosphere! Great service by Laura! Didn’t love the menu, but loved the KW Ciders! Will be back.”
“We had a great time! Food was amazing! We will certainly be back there. We celebrated 2 birthdays but never said a word to them, and dessert was worth paying for it. Thanks for a wonderful evening of great conversation with my kids!”
“I’ve been to Molly Bloom’s Irish Pub in Waterloo several times now, and it continues to be one of my favourite places to grab a drink with friends. The atmosphere is always lively without feeling overwhelming, and it’s the kind of pub where you can easily spend an entire evening. The drinks are consistently great, there’s a solid selection on tap, and the staff do a fantastic job of creating a welcoming environment. While I’d describe the food as decent pub fare rather than the main attraction, the overall experience keeps me coming back.
The standout of every visit has been Andreja. He consistently provides exceptional service and is one of the main reasons I look forward to coming back. From the moment we arrive, he’s friendly, professional, and genuinely makes everyone feel welcome. He’s attentive without hovering, remembers drink orders, checks in at the right times, and somehow manages to stay upbeat and personable even when the pub is packed. It’s clear that he cares about giving customers a great experience.
What impressed me most about Andreja is how naturally he connects with people. He has a great sense of humour, is easy to talk to, and creates an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. You can tell he enjoys what he does, and that positive energy spreads throughout the room. Excellent service can completely change a night out, and that’s exactly what he provides every time I’ve visited.
The drinks and overall vibe at Molly Bloom’s are definitely the highlights. Whether you’re there for a casual pint after work, watching a game, or spending a Friday night with friends, the atmosphere is energetic and welcoming. The staff work hard to keep things running smoothly, and Andreja stands out as someone who consistently goes above and beyond to make guests feel looked after. It’s the kind of hospitality that leaves a lasting impression.
Overall, Molly Bloom’s is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a fun night out in Waterloo. The food is perfectly fine for a pub, but the drinks, atmosphere, and outstanding service are what make the place memorable. If you’re lucky enough to have Andreja as your server, you’re in for an excellent experience. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail set a high standard, and he’s a big reason why I’ll continue recommending this pub to friends and family.”
“My sister and I hosted our mom’s retirement party on the upper level with a large group of people in a drop-in style party with apps and drinks and MANY tabs. Olivia and Jack were AMAZING servers managing so many orders, and later, bills! They were checking in frequently, and were incredibly friendly!! Sooo thankful to all the staff here for cooperating with the larger group, ordering apps in advance for the group, and for continuous check-ins during a busy time! The guests loved it and are already planning to come back!! Thanks McCabe’s for helping today feel extra special!!”
“Good food, good location on main street. Parking is at a distance from the restaurant. Nice atmosphere inside with limited outdoor seating. Arrived just after a large group left the restaurant. Unfortunately that lead to service delays on our order, service and bill receipt on this visit. The why that was never really explained other than the large group just left”
“Amazing food and amazing customer service. I never been to here before and never tried before but girl on counter name Alisha she is so polite and explained me everything very well and delivered me the best food and customer service”
“Service and food was great but slightly loud inside with people watching a game and stepped outside leaving a guy was smoking right at the entry door. No smoking within 30 feet at a restaurant entrance in Ontario, didn't appreciate walking past him after eating.”
“Hosted my partners surprise 40th birthday party here. Held it in the billiards room. The room itself was large and spacious. There was pool tables accessible to use as well. I found the lighting a bit dim and it was quit warm. However I would come back as those are two minor issues. We had one serve constantly and one who helped some. I can’t remember our servers name but for having a group of larger than 20 she did great. I had pre ordered some food and the pizza never did show up, when I asked the waitress she came to show me the invoice she received it showed the pizza was not on the invoice. I didn’t get charged for it so that was okay. The wings that came were mediocre in flavour. Everything else that was ordered was really good. I forgot plates for the cake and they graciously provided some. I made sure to tip the waitress well. Prior to the party David had been in contact with me and we communicated back and forth between email. I appreciate that theirs was communication to make sure everything was in place prior to the party.
Id definitely come back, I’d also like to try the cafe that seemed to be full every time I or one of the party groups went by.”
“Excellent food, large portions, outstanding service. Highly recommend”
“Came in for lunch, great food. Everything was hot, fresh, lots of options. Service was slow here and there, but it got busy fast so I can't really blame them. I'd go back for the lunch prices :) It was also nice the card machine had lower tip presets since it's not a full-service, waited restaurant. Cash apparently gets you a discount”
“Haven't been here in 1.5 decades... but... food was always consistent and delicious... their menu is massive...I'd be shocked if you had a favorite Thai or Vietnamese dish that was not on their list!”
“We had an amazing quarantine birthday meal thanks to Wild Wing Weber St. Wonderful customer service on the phone and in person. The food was awesome and my 70 year old mother LOVED her bday potato skins!!! Thank you!!”
“The same ole same ole...Pizza Hut is far from a 5 star restaurant b7t it is what it is..it serves pizza in a timely manner. The staff is well trained and polite. It is pretty much the same at all locations. It is consistent if a little more expensive than some.”
“Poor girls, the store was packed and they were trying to accommodate the customers that were already waiting but a customer started getting loud and creating problems. Kudos to the girls for handling the situation professionally.
Not to mention always love the orange juice, fresh and delicious.”

“MY FIRST TIME HERE FOR LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. FANTASTIC PIZZA AND THEIR PIZZA CRUST IS AMAZING. KEERAT, OUR SERVER WAS HELPFUL MAKING SUGGESTIONS AND FULFILLING ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTS TO OUR DRINKS AND MEALS. BRIJESH AND DHRUVIL (THEIR COOKS) EVEN CAME OUT TO ENQUIRE ABOUT OUR MEALS AND TO WISH ME, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL MANY HAPPY RETURNS. THEIR VANILLA PANNA COTTA WAS DELISH! I AM CERTAINLY PLANNING ON RETURNING TO TRY OUT ONE OF THEIR FRESH PASTA DISHES.”
“First time walking in and i got the best vibes. The owner was on a phone call and step[ped out but welcomed me warmly! The older man who made my sandwhich was a delight! Very genuine energy from them all. The Cajun sandwich was made to perfection! The chicken actually tastes like chicken and was seasoned decently. Im sure you could ask for more or less seasoning as its mixed in house. I love that its entirely customizable so you can make it just like you would at home. The produce was really fresh and they keep everything sealed and organized. Not a fruit fly or bug in sight, super clean place overall. I had no idea what to add, and i love a chicken greek salad so that inspired my toppings (mozzarella, feta cheese, lettuce, green peppers, cucumber and tomato) and dressing style (greek feta, olive oil, garlic mayo). I rate it a 9/10, honestly. My total was $20.32, kinda pricey but honestly worth every buck. That price was after I got a 15% discount and added chips and a mango smoothie (the owner said it was a family recipe from their mother, and it smacked!). I'll defintely come back for a sandwhich”
“Love this place so much, I drive here everytime i visit family. They have the most amazing selection of syrups for coffee. Also coffe and coffee things lol. The homemade food is outstanding everytime. I always get something to go whether it's a bakery item or last time a gluten free noodle dish for my mother and I, delish!!”
“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!”
“We tried his paneer kathi roll its nice once everyone can try”
“I used Jacqueline's Catering for a bridal shower with 40 guests and could not be more satisfied. They provided a wide variety of meat and vegetarian sandwiches, and not a lacklustre choice among them. The chicken salad on croissants were exceptional, but my favourite was the salmon. The breads and buns were very fresh and the fillings generous. No skimping. John Paul was easy to work with; all my questions and special requests were met with clear and prompt replies. And the pricing is reasonable, worth every penny. A reliable business I will certainly use for future events.”
“I placed a catering order for bagels and trays of cream cheeses, tuna and vegetables. I spoke with the owner of the company, who provided me with excellent information to create exactly what I wanted. The day that we picked up the order, everything was perfect. The customer service level is excellent and the quality/taste of the food was delicious. I highly recommend this Bagel Store.”

“If you're craving authentic kebabs in Waterloo, Kebob Shack is the place to go. I recently visited with a big appetite and left completely satisfied. We ordered the Bihari Kebab with rice and salad, Chicken Kebab with rice, Chicken Skewer with rice, and the Mix Kebab with rice and salad. Every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.
The Bihari Kebab was the highlight for me. It had that authentic smoky taste and tenderness that instantly reminded me of the kind of kebabs you rarely find outside of South Asia. The seasoning was spot on, and it paired perfectly with the rice and fresh salad. The chicken kebab and chicken skewer were juicy, flavorful, and grilled just right. The mix kebab platter was also fantastic, giving us a chance to try different varieties, and every bite was delicious.
What I appreciated most was how fresh everything tasted. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the food arrived hot and fresh. It's not easy to find truly authentic kebabs that hit the spot, but Kebob Shack absolutely delivered. They genuinely fulfilled my craving for real, authentic kebabs in Waterloo. I'll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great kebabs.”
“I tried the Agua Fresca Hibiscus drink, and it’s honestly one of the best drinks I’ve ever had, especially for the price. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but the staff took the time to explain it in such a kind, patient, and respectful way, making sure I understood everything. The customer service here is truly on another level. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I was really impressed with the Breakfast Combo! It was substantial with the sides of chutneys and the potato masala was delicious- not very hot to suit those who can't take too much hot spice!!!! The cardamom chai was excellent. Purnisha (hope the spelling is correct) is a gracious hostess! We will definitely visit again and try out other dishes!”
“Xpress Pizza is my new favorite spot. The Achari Paneer Pizza was perfectly spicy and had so much flavor. The Gravy Momos were soft, juicy, and the sauce on them was incredible. Great food and great quality. Highly recommend!”
“The space is beautiful, the service was friendly, attentive and quick. The food though… was next level delicious! Best pad Thai I’ve ever had! The hot egg coffee was so decadent. Food came out quickly. Portions were huge! I have enough for lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to try something new next time.”
“Visited Snowday Bingsu recently and had the chance to try their Tiramisu Bingsu and Oreo Bingsu. Overall, I had a really nice experience and enjoyed both desserts a lot. The flavors were well balanced, the toppings were generous, and you can tell care was taken with the presentation. Both options tasted fresh, rich, and were definitely satisfying for anyone who enjoys Korean-style desserts.
I especially liked how flavorful both the tiramisu and Oreo combinations were — not overly sweet, but still indulgent and enjoyable. The portion size was also good, making it perfect to share or even enjoy on your own if you love desserts.
The only small thing I personally noticed was with the shaved ice base. Usually with bingsu, I expect the ice flakes to have more of that creamy, milky texture and flavor, but this one felt a little lighter and more plain than expected. It didn’t take away too much from the overall dessert, but I think improving that part would make the experience even better.
Other than that, everything else was excellent. Great dessert spot, nice quality ingredients, and definitely a place I would visit again to try more items on the menu. Would recommend to anyone craving a good bingsu experience!”
“Came here for the first time today and had a great meal with my daughter. The service was amazing, I want to give a big thank you to Jameson, he was great. I will definitely be back!”
