“WOW, WOW, WOW! Is all we have to say. The food we received Saturday November 12 for a 30th birthday was above exceptional. Everything arrived on time, hot and great amount of food for around the 20 people we had. Not a single complaint was heard. Everyone enjoyed the food and went back for seconds. The chicken was juicy, potatoes and rice were very tasty and hot, the salad was soo fresh! Would recommend to anyone I know 100x over. Thank you so much again to Mario, and all the staff at The Mediterraneo for such amazing service. Ps. Couldn’t get a photo because everyone got in there right away, and how can you blame them?! Thanks so much again! - Sam Siefried & Megan”

“I've visited Kabob Place several times and can confidently say it offers some of the best Persian cuisine in Waterloo. The food consistently impresses with its authentic flavours, and the dining experience is top-notch. A standout feature is the cleanliness of the restaurant, which enhances the overall experience. The owner and staff deserve a shout-out for their welcoming and professional demeanor. If you're in search of genuine Persian dishes and a comfortable dining environment, Kabob Place is worth checking out. Highly recommend giving it a try.”

“There’s nothing I can say that the reviews don’t already, but I want to emphasize the customer service. I’ve been here three times and the lady behind the counter is so pleasant and friendly. You can’t walk in here and not smile. The kitchen is clean and open, ingredients fresh. Highly recommended.”
“Such an amazing staff and atmosphere. While we were there, we unfortunately got a ticket parking on the road in front of their building and they gave us a complimentary coffee to apologize- they are so sweet! And the Crepes were amazing!!”

“I visited the place with my friends on other day. I went there with normal expectations BUT I must say it was the right decision. They have many options in various categories of non-conventional food. The delicacies were reasonably priced and tasty. The owner is friendly and helped with choices. Last but not the least, it remains open till late night so no more hunting for food. Overall the pleasant visit and would recommend this eatery for great taste and easy on pocket. Cheers.”
“The food is AMAZING and so well priced especially for university plaza. Honestly even if the food wasn't good I would 100% come back just to see the one employee I dealt with today. He greeted me with a a drink and a date to break my fast. He has such a beautiful energy to him. I will be back again and again and ”
“Best late night burrito place around. This is a classic for a reason! Thanks to Praneeth who made every extra effort in his delivery of excellent customer service. His recommendation of flavour combos was expert. Good vegetarian and vegan options too!Vegetarian options: The veggie fajita filling is a good vegetarian option. I like that you can still pack it with other toppings after”

S&V Uptown
“From the moment I stepped into S&V and was greeted with smiling faces, I knew I was in for a special celebratory evening. Their creatively composed cocktails were nothing short of liquid art, with the 'IYKYK' and 'Simply the Zest' being two standouts. Each dish we had the pleasure of enjoying left our taste buds tantalized and in awe of the creativity and passion the chef, Krasimir, was putting in. A few of our favourite dishes included the wild mushroom risotto, the glazed short rib, and the lamb shank. Ultimately, what truly set S&V apart from other fine dining establishments was the extremely attentive and personable service from Jill, Aaron and team. Thank you S&V, for a phenomenal evening. I will be back!”
“My 9 year olds pick Wildcraft to celebrate her birthday and our server made sure to make it special!We've been a customer for a long time and we were never disappointed with our meal and service.Great place!”
“My partner and I had a great experience here! Our server Kris, was so personable and had great menu recommendations, she truly made our time there so enjoyable. The food was delicious, hot and fresh! Would highly suggest giving this location a visit! ?”

“I had a pretty good experience from Exclamation Fusion. The food was insanely good, I had the curry don. I can’t tell if i was just hungry at the time but it was the best japanese curry i’ve had. The chicken was extremely juicy and soft. the little pieces of cabbage was a nice touch.The rice was really yummy too! My partner said it was spicy but I think it was more hot than spicy, even then I cant usually handle really spicy food but this was perfect, no spicy feeling for me. I really liked it then most when it was really hot and fresh :) devoured it in 5 mins. Price is pretty good for the serving I paid 17 dollars with the 2 dollar coke included. Server was so nice, long wait time though, but it was worth the wait :)”

“Highly recommend their dumplings! They make it fresh so it tastes much better than store-brought, frozen ones. Customer service is top tier, very friendly and helpful! Clean and homey environment with reasonable prices!”
“Every time I visit my family in Waterloo, I look forward to this restaurant! I was just introduced to it during Covid, so I’ve never dined in, but I love their take out. Great food and a real value for what is received. We can never decide and always over-order - everything I’ve tried has been amazing.”
“What a wonderful find in Waterloo. My husband and I had the opportunity of visiting Bodega Rose 3 times this year. Each experience was phenomenal. The food is absolutely delicious and our server, Becky was amazing and made our night out very special!”
“Mac n cheese and pow pow (lol actually Bang Bang) shrimp I think they were called. Very good. Large portions. Only problem was the toast. I was going to say garlic toast but it tasted so burnt I couldn't eat it. The guy who burns them in the back should try it and figure out how to get it grilled without making them inedible. No point in putting it on a plate if it tastes that bad.”
“I love everything about TBK. You are guaranteed a great meal and excellent service, The Bauer Kitchen does not disappoint!. So much to choose from and the food is exceptional; such creative and unique drinks and the ambiance is a 10! The servers are the best in KW, friendly, prompt, everyone works as team. TBK is our go-to for a great night out.”
“The pork belly nachos were the tastiest thing I’ve had in a long time. I loved the low light moody atmosphere and the stirring sounds of people coming together sharing cocktails and appetizers. Staff were catering to our tastes, creative in their mixes and curious to find the perfect cocktail for each customer.”
“A high end restaurant around here used to be a business casual dress code, featured a lightly seasoned steak, a prime rib dinner, a dynamite caesar salad, a pasta dish, a seafood dish a few other signatures with an extensive wine list. All the food was made from quality ingredients, expertly prepared and the service was professional and caring. All of this is still expected in high end dining but one thing I felt was absent for a while was originality. I still fancy the local favourites but it was hard to find something unfamiliar. In the last decade, Waterloo has been invaded with delightfully unique higher end dining ventures. Steaks served with aggressive and colourful sauces. First course flavour explosions served out of a micro spoon. Exotic treasures from the sea like octopus or blow torched fish instead of grilled. The palate of the Kitchener-Waterloo region is expanding and in my opinion, for the better. The latest addition to our fine dining core is Babylon Sisters, a wine bar where simplicity done well is taken seriously, like a tuxedo. A black and white colour scheme, accented by silver, button bound leather bar stools softly lit by candle light. The Art Deco ambience is quietly stated above the sight lines. The long narrow venue is subtly divided into a bar, to a high top seated dining room and then into a retro 70’s high back vinyl booth seating area. The patio is vibrant, connected to adjacent venues. It’s very southern U.S. or Caribbean in it’s street social vibe. The two menus consist of two things: One is Wine. One is food to compliment the wine. It’s a bold statement to start your wine menu off in Canada with Ontario wines if you want to be recognized as a wine bar. Too often Ontario wine is poo pooed but to me, it just tells me whoever does the menu here has taste because Ontario has world wide award winning wines. Beyond the local selections, lots of old world wines, not the usual's you see on menus in town and offered in three ounce portions. A great concept to anyone who desires the variety of different wine flavours but doesn’t want to spend a fortune on higher end wine. Not to mention doesn’t want to drink two bottles worth of wine just to get variety. I went with the classic accompaniments with my wines, olives and cheese. A great mix of pitted olives. Queens, kalamata and cocktails, oiled up with a garlic clove. They were salty, fresh and firm. The cheese was a mix of brie, camembert and blue. I thought it was going to be mild, mild and explosive blue cheese but alas, the camembert and brie were far from mild. Normally I find those cheeses bland but they were carefully selected and well prepared. The camembert was woody and earthy. The Brie was almost whipped. The texture of the cheeses when topped on the bread turned the chewy bread into a supple ball of joy. When mixed with either the honey preserve or onion butter it was out of this world. The combination of the olives, cheese, pastes, wine and ambience was nothing like anything else in town. Oddly, across the street I could see Streetlights, another newer venue in town. A fruity coloured place that lives where Chainsaw used to be and it’s something, again, unfamiliar. All of this felt like an escape. I went in and out of Babylon Sisters expecting a nice drink but instead felt like I had a vacation. This is what I always want from a venue. Something unique. Something to take the rest of my day away so I can just enjoy the moment. Hats off to this brilliant new place.”
“Our family enjoyed our lunch at Rosel's. The food was fresh and flavourful and Rosel was so kind and welcoming. She seems to be both an expert chef and business owner. We ordered the Merienda platter which was just right for our family of five with the addition of some banana fritters and Turon for dessert. I'd also highly recommend the refreshing pineapple soda that was on tap the day we visited. We will be definitely be back and have already recommended Rosel's to our friends. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes!”
“Their charcoal chicken is a must try. It is super delicious and it comes with salad and rice that taste amazing. I would recommend having it at the restaurant. I do wish they gave more rice though because the chicken is huge and the amount of rice they give is not enough for two people.”
“Khushi was a great server. Very attentive to our needs and knowledgeable about the menu. Kelsey’s has a great menu with something for everyone. Service is fast and food is delicious.”
“I had great experience at the restaurant. The service and food is amazing. Flavors are intact and everything is delicious. They have Feb best customized dosas with range of chutneys. In house delicious juices and their own brand of award winning soups. Curries are authentic and are flavourful the vibe is amazing.”

Great food and a real value for what is received. We can never decide and always over-order - everything I’ve tried has been amazing.”
“We went on Cinco de Mayo. The place was packed but the service was excellent and the food amazing. It was a fun experience and the best part was the men playing the mariachis! They were fantastic.Cannot wait to go back”
“We went for a south Asian-themed sampler meal which was $100 per person. Ordinarily this is out of my price range but it was for a special evening. I was not disappointed at all. The four courses were quite different and targeted every taste bud. The chef, Sean came out to explain the dishes and what flavours to expect. Our waiter Hayley was attentive and also helpful with talking us through some dishes. Sommelier Jake offered wines for each course that balanced the flavours. A great, well-paced evening with more food than we could eat!”

“Great service from Sainath. I came by late at night and he treated me with excellent service and made sure I was taken care of. He gave me an appropriate wait time even though it was late and he kept me updated, as well as made sure I was comfortable during the wait time.”
“Arrived at 10.29am for breakfast this morning. Staff were very welcoming and were happy to extend the 10,30 breakfast hours to accommodate me and a friend with the breakfast menu.Coffee was hot and eggs were prepared exactly as we ordered them. A delicious breakfast for sure. All staff members were polite, attentive and pleasant to us. The restaurant seemed very neat and clean. We will be back for sure. Thank you.”
“Amazing staff especially Jhea who is very welcoming and efficient whenever I come to visit and have lunch with my friends.Dietary restrictions: Great options of food and always provided with great service and fresh food.”
“It was freshly and hot. The staff was super friendly and had a good sense of humor. She was cracking friendly jokes. The food,as far as macdonalds standards goes, was great. It was all fresh and hot. I had chicken nugget combo and the fries were crisp and just out of the fryer, the nuggets were steaming and had all the correct sauceI got a smoothie for a drink and it was delicious as always. I can't believe how pricey everything g is, but it's not just maxdonalds, uts the norm now and macfonalds is just keeping up with the cost of the times. The visit was a great fast food experience.Kid-friendliness: There I'd lots of kid-friendly options and the atmosphere is perfect to take the kiddies out for a meal or even a birthday celebration”
“$7 for one teen burger(yeah right). got for $3.50. lots of terrorists in that parking lot. those in vehicles didn't know what a turning signals was. caught at least six idiots driving without a drivers license. floor was sticky. especially watch out for the idiots going into the drive through. no turning signals again.”
“Didn't get all my roll up the rim rolls. Customer service was goodUpdate on June 20th 2023-went in around 7:45pm, ordered an XL French Vanilla and Tea, took over 15 minutes to get our order and had to repeat it to 3 different people, the cashier (who we had to repeat the order 3 times to), to a lady who asked us rudely what we were waiting for(who turned to the cashier and rudely in front of other customers told her that she had to make her own orders), and than again to the man from the deli(who questioned how I wanted my tea even after I told him what I wanted and gave me a dirty look because I ordered a chai tea without milk)”
“I miss some of the menu choices that were discontinued such as the chicken salad sandwiches. The beeping of the ovens can get annoying as is the case in any Tim Hortons. 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 went in to this location around 2:30 pm today to redeam my free sub after having a terrible one the first time I ordered, it was a new worker that day so it was mostly understandable but not really edible to my standard cause of way to much sauce, I wanted to give a shout out to the lady today who made me the perfect sub no problem and gave me some cookies cause its my birthday. you are so kind !”
“This is the fastest Tim's I know of. I work nearby and often wonder if I can make it on time if I stop at Tim's first, and every time I'm amazed how quick it is. I also enjoy that it doesn't have a planet-killing drive-thru.”
“Last night I was over there it’s my first time in subway when I have a great time best dine ỉn experience because one boy took my order so friendly and then one girl did my toppings and billing best experience in subway ever i had .”
“Edit: i went back to the store today to talk to them about the below incident. The 'supervisor' from last night did report the incident to the manager and when I went in today the shift manager I spoke to bent over backwards to make this right for me. She said she just needed to see the proof that the money came out of my account, which of course i provided for her. It was the same proof that i showed the person from last night, my banking app that clearly showed a deduction of $20.53 from my account, paid to Tim Hortons. We settled on having the money put on a giftcard that I can load to my app for future use. I am an almost daily visitor to Tim Hortons. I have never had a customer service issue so it shocked me. Today's customer service was above reproach so I am amending my review to 5 stars from 1. Thank you to Tim Hortons staff for making it right today. $20 may not seem like much, but for this senior living on a fixed income, $20 is a big deal!!Visited the drive thru at the location closest to Costco Waterloo, Friday March 22/24 at 7:35pm. I ordered a small ice capp, a large ice capp and a sweet chili loaded bowl. The total came to $20.53.I got to the window, checked to see that my scan and pay was activated on my phone and the person scanning said, how will you be paying. I informed her that I had used scan and pay, rechecked to make sure the scan and pay was toggled to 'on'... it was. She said it didn't go through. I said, let me check my banking app to make sure the payment didn't go through and the payment had indeed gone through and my bank account was debited $20.53. I showed her my bank app screen and told her it did go through, as evidenced by the debit of the exact amount of the order with the item line reading, "TIM HORTONS #76_V". She argued that my Tim Hortons app was not working and the scan and pay did not work because it didn't show up on her terminal. I responded by saying the problem is not on my end because VERY CLEARLY, the scan and pay DID work as the exact amount was debited from my account. She had scanned the code on my phone app and the payment was instantly deducted from my visa debit... = a successful SCAN AND PAY!!I asked to speak to a manager and she said there was no manager, that she was the supervisor and there was nothing she could do. I again showed her my phone banking app and we continued to bounce back and forth. She asked me what I wanted her to do and I said to give me the order I clearly paid for. Her response, "I can't do that. It is not showing on my screen. Your Tim Hortons app is the problem". I told her the app worked fine, that it is her terminal that is the issue and she said no, there is no issue with her terminal, it is my app... you know, the app that same app that successfully scanned the code and successfully deducted the exact payment from my bank account!She said there was nothing she could do. Too bad for me. She didn't apologize. She didn't give me a number to call. Worst customer service I have ever encountered at Tim Hortons... and you have her working as a supervisor!! Nice one!! I will be visiting the store on Saturday March 23rd to speak to a real manager because your evening supervisor is completely incompetent.I'm not sure if this will show up on an end of shift reconciliation of the drive thru till, but your numbers will be off by $20.53 because you took my money and didn't produce an order.”
“Update: they have solved the issue. Now it’s been a pretty good place actually, I’ll change my stars from 1 to 4. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work!Previous comment: Feels like after COVID-19 they don’t care about the dining area anymore. It’s like it doesn’t even exist to them. It’s always dirty and messy. And the order system for dining in is on 2nd plan as well. Note: not only this Tim Hortons; I’ve noticed that other locations have the same issue!”

Watami Sushi
“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 :)”

“My friends and I love having brunch at Korner Kitchen. There are lots of healthy options on the menu. Food is mostly cooked perfectly and most dishes look and taste delicious. I love waffles, the Fiesta skillet, most of the omelettes, and generally the quality and freshness of ingredients used. The drip coffee tastes great, too. However, some of the sweeter breakfast options at this restaurant are a little too sweet for my liking. The hash browns could also be crispier and better seasoned.In my experience, the staff at Korner Kitchen has always gone above and beyond to provide a great service to their guests. The interior is bright, spacious, and clean, with a positive vibe. It is definitely one of my go-to restaurants for brunch in the KW area.”
“We went to the Vaughan location and had a wonderful time! Delicious food, friendly staff, and our little one had an absolute blast. His first time trying Kawa! We're sure to come back every time we're in Vaughan!”
“I was exploring for a proper restaurant on on near our job site to have lunch with my crew.After searching diligently, we came across Jack's Family Restaurant.Needless to say, the experience was funtastic!We had the privilege of Connie attending to us; man is she a sales lady!Despite the fact that it is out of our usual thoroughfare, I definitely would be taking my family there to have dinner one day soon!”
“I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Kim’s Kitchen. The food was SOOO good. The servers and owner gave the BEST service. I’m definitely coming again. Most delicious chicken in the entire waterloo region. After the first bite I started crying because it was so good. My server Beatrice came over and wiped my tears.”
“Was ordering for my girlfriend and had no idea what to get her. The lady I spoke to was very kind and informative about the menu and helped me choose something to get her! Thank you so much ?”
“First time at this fine establishment and let me tell you nothing short of amazing. The service was absolutely hands down amazing from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left .

“Our breakfast experience at a Dearborn restaurant was exceptionally satisfying, thanks to the "Hungry Boy Breakfast." This dish, featuring sausages, bacon, and Polish sausages, was not only generous in quantity but also delicious. The quality of food was remarkable, with each meat cooked to perfection, contributing to a rich flavor profile.What elevated our experience was the outstanding service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations, adding a personal touch to our meal. Their efficiency ensured a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere.In conclusion, this Dearborn restaurant is a must-visit for a fulfilling breakfast experience. The combination of delicious food, generous portions, and excellent service makes it highly recommendable for anyone looking for a great start to their day.”
“we loved our visit here i ordered spicy chicken burger they also offer discounts to us! our favorite is the milkshake! best one so far!Vegetarian options: they have vegetarian options! which really helps!”
“I recently tried the Chicken Tikka Biryani from Manas Food Express, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, and the chicken was tender and well-marinated. The portion size was generous, making it great value for money. The biryani had the perfect balance of spices, and every bite was a delight. The packaging was neat and secure, ensuring the food arrived fresh and hot. Overall, I highly recommend trying the Chicken Tikka Biryani from Manas Food Express in waterloo for a satisfying and flavorful meal experience.”
“Discoverd this gem today while I was out and about, what a wonderful cafe! The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming and it is kept very clean. The staff are wonderful!I had the chance to meet the owner, a lovely fellow, he offered me a delicious sample of the made fresh daily soup while I waited for my coffees to brew. This was actually the second time I went in today, I stopped in earlier to grab a coffee while I was in the area, I ended up getting a coffee and a banana bread muffin. The muffin was honestly the best muffin I have had, it was a europhic experience eating it. It was good that before I left the area to return home I stopped by again to grab some coffees and more muffins to bring home to the Misses.10/10 would recommend and 10/10 I will be back!Vegetarian options: The soup is vegan and gluten free!Parking: Lots of parking as the cafe is located in a plaza.”
“Really recommend Tsujiri for their excellent quality matcha and delicious hoijicha. Their service is always great, they put careful care into serving their dishes to look and taste stunning. There is also quite a good amount of room to sit and enjoy! Have gone back many times and love each time. This time I had the parfait and the ice cream was delicious.”
“Amazing food. Wonderful ambiance . Each dish was prepared perfectly. Our server was friendly and she took time to explain what some.of the dishes were. Chef Ravi came out and spoke with us and a few of the other tables. Highly recommend!”
“We ordered a platter of sandwiches/wraps for party and they were excellent. They didn’t skimp on the meat, each sandwich had the perfect amount of condiments, and the bread, lettuce, and tomatoes were fresh. The price was very reasonable, and the size of the sandwiches were perfect.”
“We had a fantastic experience at Busan BBQ! Joshua and Nithul were our servers, and they were incredibly pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure our experience was enjoyable. Please convey our gratitude to them; they epitomize excellence in service and made our evening memorable.”
“I've been here a few times and loved the food each time. You can't go wrong with any of the bento boxes, but the dinner options like the bulgogi and the chicken katsu donburi are delicious too. The bluefin tuna tataki is so fresh and flavourful; it is a must-try.The servers are always so friendly and the food comes out quickly. The only thing that needs improvement is getting the food out in the right order and time. There were two of us the last time I went and one main course was served well before the other, and the food started getting cold before the appetizer arrived.I'll definitely be back, but next time, I will order the appetizer first and only order the main course after it is served.”
“The pork belly nachos were the tastiest thing I’ve had in a long time. I loved the low light moody atmosphere and the stirring sounds of people coming together sharing cocktails and appetizers. Staff were catering to our tastes, creative in their mixes and curious to find the perfect cocktail for each customer.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Came for a show. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Drinks were reasonably priced and the wings were amazing. Giving it 4 stars as the men's washroom was absolutely disgusting.”
“Sameer and Mubin were weapons. It was so busy and they were rippin through orders like it was their job. Those two guys need a raise, fricken beauties. I hope they’re working every time I come in! :-)”
“Can I speak with the manager please? I'd like to let them know what a great place they run: always clean & tidy and very friendly staff. Burgers juicy, meaty and tasty and onion rings delicious. Even table service! A great little spot and the best DQ in KW.Thanks for everything you and the staff are doing, please keep it up and continue to hire thoughtfully.”
“This is my go-to Starbucks despite no drive thru. The employees are especially nice and knowledgeable. They have a lot of merchandise here compared to other stores.”
“If I could give 6 stars. This place was awesome. The restaurant on no notice accommodated our large group with excellent food and Service. I requested a change to my meal and no issues. I only wish I lived in the area because I would eat here weekly”
“The place lives up to what others have said. Incredibly clean and the staff are very nice. The full grown man in front of us was being a brat about the amount of ice cream he received and they handled it extremely well.Hats off to this store, definitely a good spot for some ice cream. The blizzards always hit! ?”
“They give out 'pup cups' of whipped cream to dogs! Amazing.Just unclear where to line up somtimes, but I am not a Starbucks regular.Very friendly staff.”
“Always luv getting dq cakes in the summer as my family has summer birthdays. This location however very low selection compared to others by me, I only went to the Laurelwood location in Waterloo for a groupon deal I got, however I didn’t quite understand the deal in groupon so it wasn’t really a deal to me, so I wouldn’t purchase again from here anyway. Cake was still good and well decorated. Service was ok. I’m well aware how groupon works and I’ve bought many deals and this was the only deal that wasn’t worth the deal. The groupon ad doesn’t make sense how is it $20 towards a cake when I paid $14 for the deal and had to pay ex $16 at checkout ?”
“Always a great experience getting a blizzard here, great service. Kudos to the employee who gave me a "proper lid" for the large blizzard so that even the spoon can fit nicely in it on the road! See picture.”
“Nice. Has lots of seats and patio. Service is good. Drive thru poorly designed. Lineups wraps around and blocks parking lots driving lanes for others always creating chaos in the lot.”
“I've always loved Swiss Chalet!!!!Our food came within 3 minutes of ordering! Great fresh house salad and half chicken dinner.Such a nice, warm, calm atmosphere to catch up with old friends :)They were happy to accommodate my Celiac friend and change their gloves before handling her food.Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly!!!”
“Great and quiet location. The staff was really nice and helpful. He was patient while we tried to figure out our orders and didn't rush us. The juices were very nicely prepared and were refreshing.I will definitely visit them again.”
“Absolutely amazing service i wanna say merry Christmas to jen and Matt and the tim Horton's crew and thank you for always going above and beyond and making my mornings awesome everyday ? ❤”
“The chicken and fries were really good but the gravy was a little lumpy and maybe burnt (it was darker than usual). I had it a week ago in Mississauga and it was delicious.”

TOP CHICKEN
“The flavours were all so amazing!! The honey butter fries were some of the best flavored fries I've had! The pesto basil chicken was such an unexpected hit!Our server Julie was so great and funny!Overall a great experience”
“Vegetarian options: Plenty of optionsKid-friendliness: The owners are super nice and friendly with kids, went with my nephew and the lady at the restaurant was incredible and just spoiled him!”
“Our family enjoyed our lunch at Rosel's. The food was fresh and flavourful and Rosel was so kind and welcoming. She seems to be both an expert chef and business owner. We ordered the Merienda platter which was just right for our family of five with the addition of some banana fritters and Turon for dessert. I'd also highly recommend the refreshing pineapple soda that was on tap the day we visited. We will be definitely be back and have already recommended Rosel's to our friends. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes!”
Cheap Eats
“This place is amazing! Not just because you get fresh made on the spot food, but the owner is straightforward and very polite! This is how service should be. Great service & fresh food!”
“Been here a few times - smaller venue, great energy. If I was to see a show I’d hope it would be here. It’s the perfect size where you get an intense intimate atmosphere. Been here for concerts and fights. Drinks could be worse. Lots of food nearby for after the concert when you’re hungry/drinking lol.”
“I love sushi and this is one of the best I’ve had. Small place for takeout. Amazing price and super fresh. The specials are a staple and the trays are fantastic too.Dietary restrictions: It is sushi so mostly GF and can get veggie options.Kid-friendliness: Owners are friendly.”
“Delicious burritos! My husband eats burritos often and considered his bean burrito to be “perfectly executed”! We ate in store and it was very comfortable and spacious. Great quick stop on our way out for the night.”
“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.)”
“I just tried the Bella pizza. And that was the greatest pizza I ever had in KWC. It was delicious. Their customer service is phenomenal. Highly recommend this place. Must ”
“Really great handmade noodles here. Not only are the noodles freshly made and customizable to your preferences, but the portion sizes are also really good for the price.”
“Went on a date with my wife here today. They have typical breakfast food and also Indian food. Best chutney I’ve ever had and their croissants were extremely delicious. Service was exceptional as well. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Food was cooked quickly to order, to spiciness preferences also. I'm glad I didn't end up going for the dinner size option, as the standard biryani was rather large as it was. Really tasty, really quick and well priced.”
“It's good ambience and welcoming space I love the service and yummy ? tummy ? ✌️??Vegetarian options: Better options than other places .thank you ? I'm satisfied ? ☺️”
“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!”
“I've had pizza from different places, but the pizza that I got from Pizza 101 was DELICIOUS, I've never had any pizza like this before. The store was very clean and the staff was amazing, definitely going back. I recommend this place 100%. Well done Pizza 101.”
“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!”
“This place is fantastic! Lots of selection, great prices, delicious treats, and an owner that is incredibly thoughtful and kind. We’ve just started coming to this store and my only disappointment is that I didn’t start going earlier. If you’re looking for something…more…try coming here. It’s conveniently location being close to St Jacobs market and Conestoga Mall”
“This is the best burrito in Waterloo, hands down. Kevin is a great guy who cares about his customers and takes the time to make every burrito right. Definitely recommend you swing by before or after your trip to Costco. It's worth braving the roundabout.”

Morty's Pub
“Came for a show. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Drinks were reasonably priced and the wings were amazing. Giving it 4 stars as the men's washroom was absolutely disgusting.”
“Their charcoal chicken is a must try. It is super delicious and it comes with salad and rice that taste amazing. I would recommend having it at the restaurant. I do wish they gave more rice though because the chicken is huge and the amount of rice they give is not enough for two people.”
“I was very excited to try this place because there aren’t many Laotian restaurants.We came on a week day evening so it was not too busy.We were greeted and seated promptly wherever we preferred. The waiter was patient with us with the menu - there are a wide variety of options!We got the 51 Crispy duck with spicy peanut sauce, 18 Spicy beef salad sticky rice and tripe, 53 Champa special fry rice, 20 tray to share and the 62K Pad kee mao with chicken.Would recommend the crispy duck and pad kee mao!Hope to be back soon to try other dishes.Parking: Park for free on street or in Uptown Waterloo Parking Lot right behind BMO. Weekday evening had plenty of parking.”

Mel's Diner
“Came at 1 am and the food was just as good in the morning. There was only one waiter but she hustled for all the tables so there wasn’t much waiting. Will come back!”
“Khushi was a great server. Very attentive to our needs and knowledgeable about the menu. Kelsey’s has a great menu with something for everyone. Service is fast and food is delicious.”
“I had great experience at the restaurant. The service and food is amazing. Flavors are intact and everything is delicious. They have Feb best customized dosas with range of chutneys. In house delicious juices and their own brand of award winning soups. Curries are authentic and are flavourful the vibe is amazing.”
“We got the ramen chip, sweet potato, and gamsung rice dogs. They were too heavy with the sauce, but they still tasted good. The ramen chip was smaller than the rest of them for some reason, but the crunchiness of the ramen was an interesting contrast to the rice dog texture. We liked the sweet potato one the most.Overall, it's a tasty but pricey place for the occasional late night snack.”
“Two friends and myself went to sole in the afternoon to celebrate a birthday. We were initially sat in the middle of the section and it was quite loud for our “older” ears. I spoke to the hostess, sorry I don't know her name, if we could move. She immediately said yes, she knew the floor bookings without even having to recheck , and set us up in great booth. She handled it promptly and graciously. Our server, Monika, was equally gracious, top notch. She made out substitutions in a very accommodating way, paced the serving of the food wonderfully, and touched base with us but not intrusively. And a surprise birthday crème brûlée was beautifully presented to our friend. She even paid attention to who in our party was the birthday woman. The experience was brilliant from start to finish. And the food was delish.”

“Lovely interior. Food was all delicious - we ordered the quesadilla, the samosarito and the dessert that day which was raspberru lemon cake. Server was excellent. Will definitely go again!”
“The gluten free burger was actually really good. The bun didn’t fall apart like most gluten free buns. Felt like the burger was made with love. Will definitely be coming back.”

Thai Sun
“Saw this place as we were walking down the street and then decided to go in for dinner. It was a really good decision made - great place with nice atmosphere, attentive service and really tasty food. Didn't get main course but we had a few apps and they tasted delicious. The server was really polite and attentive too. Definitely a recommended place to visit!I'll visit again to try the main course and desserts!”
36
Red House
“It was tasty food, although perhaps a bit overpriced for the meals. There were some noisy tables so it was very noisy. Good spot to bring a date as it is a very intimate atmosphere. Overall it was great and would definitely go back. Service was fantastic.Parking: Lots if parking 1/2 block away. No parking at the restaurant.”
“Great small brewery. Beer is great, people super friendly and knowledgeable about beer. I was there will they were brewing, they should bottle that aroma. Highly recommend”
“Had really good service and the wings were great. The poutine wasn't up to the same level as the wings. It was good though.. just not as good as the wings.Good selection of beer and the staff knew what to recommend. Will go back when I get to Waterloo again!”

“What an amazing day! We went to try something out of our comfort zone and we were not disappointed!! 110% loved this place and can not wait to take other family and friends to enjoy it there as well!!”
“Had a fantastic experience getting work done (while eating a delicious breakfast on Saturday morning). The service was great, and the new owner is incredibly friendly! They have some weekly deals I'll likely come back to take advantage of (maybe on a date night or on a Sunday after church since kids eat free Sundays after 2pm).”
“Located on the second floor. Xing fu tang’s bubble tea flavour was good. However the brown sugar tapioca isn’t as good as their other locations. The location is also clean and spacious.”
“I came here a few times most recently on Valentines Day and also ordered takeout. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the free bread. There is a great wine selection as well. The snail appetizer is delicious. The pastas were decent but not exceptional. I got the spagetti and meatballs takeout once and it was too salty. The other pastas I had were alright but not top notch. I did not like the rustica or carbonara. Hit or miss”
“If you're a wing lover, WingUp is a must-visit. The flavors are spot-on, and the staff adds a warm touch to the entire dining experience. My visit left me craving more! Thank you!!!”
“The interior of this brewery is asthetic and gives a vintage vibe. Their local brews are worth a try. Best part is that they have a take away option for there self crafted beers.Food was okay but the drinks make it up to the mark.”
“This well-appointed little Pub is in the heart of Uptown Waterloo. It's an inviting, comfortable space; although it does help if you're ok with big screen TV's...there are no shortage of those.I had the California Shrimp salad. The combination of mixed greens, avocado, strawberries, glazed pecans, and goat cheese, oh yeah, and shrimp, was impressive. The house raspberry vinaigrette topped it off perfectly.My comrade spoke highly of the chicken wings.KW's Light Rail Transit will let you off right at the front door.Parking: Public Transit is also close by.”
“I've been a loyal customer of Holistic Nutrition - Nature's Apotheke for over a decade, and I can't say enough positive things about them! Their expertise in holistic nutrition is unmatched, and their products have truly made a positive impact on my health and well-being. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking to improve their health naturally.”
“I've been eating here every week for a semester, the burritos are great, there's several options for meat on the burrito, and there are so many delicious, fresh toppings to choose from. I only ever had the burritos but if the other options are half as good as them, then they'll still be well worth the money. The staff are also excellent, always very nice and friendly, often starting up a conversation with customers.”
“Food tasted great, service was without complaint and the bartender was fantastic. Despite how busy of a night it was, he made sure to keep up with orders and refills… For a first visit, I will def be back ?”
“Very tasty; remained hot the entire meal; and portions were quite large. The seating is small--about ten tables seating four each and bar stools. The decor has a fast food vibe. Not a good for a romantic/intimate dinner. Dress is casual. A popular spot despite somewhat remote location. Reasonably priced This was our 2nd visit. Will return for many more meals....oh, and the panna cotta was heavenly.”
“Come here when it's busy or when it's not so much -- either way you'll be satisfied with your visit. There's a solid selection of beers -- everything from Guinness to unpretentious local beers on tap.”
“If I could give 6 stars. This place was awesome. The restaurant on no notice accommodated our large group with excellent food and Service. I requested a change to my meal and no issues. I only wish I lived in the area because I would eat here weekly”

“If you're a fan of sushi, you're in for a treat at this restaurant. Once you've tried their sushi, you'll find it hard to dine anywhere else!”
“I regret not eating from them SOONER, my local friends said this place was infamous but I took a chance today. got the half n half, the delivery person took 25 mins cus he had a couple stops to make (ubereats) BUT the chicken was incredibly Crispy and it was cooked soooo beautifully like so juicy and moist n tender soft. Unexpected for a boneless cut. Whenever I get fried chicken delivered this is unlikely and my afterthought is “huh would’ve been better at the restaurant” but, oh boy,this was different. I just want to relive the first bite. The sauce was spicy yet the sweetness perfectly recovered you from it. Glossy. Loved how there were a couple fries thrown in. (Also crunchy !), The originals were bit bland like I was left wanting for somthing but still incredibly good just dipped them in a lil salt n leftover drippings of sauce. The pieces in the middle that were half saucy and half original were absolute bliss haha. Overall I really recommend this place or atleast their fried chicken! Irresistible. Generously portioned too could feed 2 hungry people. Or 1 glutton (me).”
“Thanks to Ahmed and all staff for making our visit great. All staff dropped by to say hello and make sure we were looked after. The food was such a great and authentic version of Middle East fare.”
“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.”
“Fantastic little corner bar. Absolutely amazing customer service and friendly staff, Very attentive taking time to learn names and greeting everyone with a smile! Food was great and came within very reasonable time and price range.”

Ye House
“They recently opened up for breakfast, and I love it! I have been so tired of having bagel, muffin and donuts for breakfast. They offer soy milk and Chinese Youtiao, and great wonton soups, which perfectly match my Asian ”
“10/10 on food quality here. This is one of the last proper “Fine dining” restaurants in the region. The ingredients are top tier. The cooking is absolutely perfect and the flavour is fabulous. This is the complete opposite of an “in and out, cheap food” experience. Came here for my 3 year anniversary with my fiancée.”
“Stopped in for a bite after antiquing. The placd itself is small, you order at a window inside and there are a few booths and tables. The atmosphere was cute.I got a hotdog and poutine.. hotdog wasn't really anything special but HUGE. The poutine was really good and also huge. My husband got the classic burger, which was also really good. The portions are really big, too. I would eat here again!”
“The works has very family staff and some amazing burgers. It took a while to get seated, but our waitress was friendly and did a great job even though it was her 1st shift.8/10”
“The ambiance is superb, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to chef Suraj Singh. We all enjoyed your delicious food (especially the Paneer lababdar) and the evening was everything we hoped it would be.”

Royal Paan
“I tried the paneer cheese dosa at Royal Paan, and it was so good! The dosa was crunchy outside and soft inside. It had lots of paneer and cheese inside, and it tasted amazing. The people there were nice, and the place was cozy. If you like Indian food, you should try it!”
“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!”

Chatime
“Friendly service. Good variety of flavours and priced well compared to other bubble tea shops.Loses a star due to their paper straws - very hard to use without making a mess.”
“Small, cozy student pub and (very) casual restaurant. The owners have obviously stopped putting any money into the place, but for a student watering hole it's fine.”
“Service was a bit slow....only 1 person working so it wasn't her fault. Food was traditional fare for a pub but quite good.Parking: Parking is nearby...no parking at restaurant”
“Walking into the is place brings me back to the south, food was impeccable. Service was spot on. The only thing I had an issue with was the music was a touch loud. But that's me being picky. I ordered a brisket sandwich with a ceaser salad. And it was amazing. Would highly recommend it.”
“Good is fresh and good. Service is okay, sometimes they make you wait long while they are doing other tasks. Store looks a little disorganized inside.Parking: 2 hour parking. Limited spots”
“Still giving 5 stars just not to ruin their rating. Think the huge issue is understaffing! Two employees working a busing lunch rush. Order taken promptly, food was a little bit of a wait. $31 for a wrap, sandwich and two drinks. Definitely a premium price for basic food. The huge issue was the wrap that was made. Goddess wrap, that when the paper wrapping was open was barely put together and impossible to eat. I know its impossible to get staff these days, and the evidence is shown in food prep and rushing through making orders. I feel for the staff here and everywhere else. Hopefully this review is seen by ownership and management and something can be done to help the staff who are working incredibly hard and doing their best”
“St. Louis is always packed because it offers great food service and price. Only downside is there's no parking lol but I always search for St. Louis in every town I travel to always ”
“I went to Proof Kitchen for a friends birthday party and we had Scott as our server! He was so attentive and kind, and made sure we had an amazing time. He made sure to make my friends day, and brought her a dessert on the house at the end! The food was absolutely delicious - and I know we will be back soon!Thank you to Scott and Proof Kitchen for making our friends birthday memorable.”
“Food is great, definitely recommend the deluxe chicken sandwich or the chicken tenders. Wouldn't recommend dining it however, the air is really heavy and greasy and you're going to leave with all your clothes smelling like fried fast food. We usually take our food and sit on the tables around the boardwalk park or just take the food home.”
“yummy spicy food! very numbing. we got the chongqing beef noodles, ground pork and pea potato noodles, and mapo tofu. all very so delicious and the mapo tofu was amazing.we got the noodles in medium size but it seems like a small (think in pho size).the reviews were right about the bad service but you know they say the best chinese restaurants have the worst service!”
“I usually prefer shawarma plates so this is the only place where I would get a shawarma wrap cuz of the flavorful fries and garlic sauce. Big portioned and cheap. Very satisfying and true to nature.”

Boston Pizza
“I recently dined at Boston Pizza and was absolutely blown away by the culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and cozy. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that I would highly recommend to everyone.”
“We enjoyed a delicious tasty lunch. Friendly and efficient service. Cauliflower was crispy and well seasoned. Eggplant was fabulous. Spicy chicken was excellent and not too spicy.”
“My wife and I were looking for a place to have a good coffee while walking around Blue Mountain's.We found Royal Majsty Espresso Bar Bakery store and we were delighted.We were assisted by Augusto. He was very polite, friendly and helpful. He also showed us that he cares about the customers and the store.The capuchinos that we ordered were simply delicious and well made.We were lucky that while we were drinking our coffees, Augusto brought out a tray with fresh cooked cookies ?.We bought two. They were so good that we had to buy more. I son loved them.The store had a great atmosphere and very well maintained.Fully recommended and special thanks to Augusto for his amazing service/attention ???????Parking: The parking was difficult due to the small size of the parking lot which is shared with the building visitors.There's no street parking available.We had yo wait until someone left.”

Freshii
“Freshii definitely living up to its name, these ingredients must have just come in, they were so fresh! This burrito was jammed with tons of beautiful flavors, I saw them making it and wasn't sure it was going to wrap.I have had plenty of meals at this location and these guys never disappoint, definitely come check these guys out if your looking for a healthy meal. Very delicious selection for Vegan food!”

Masala Bay
“Do yourself a favor and get in to try the new menu.We didn't know about the change in ownership or that there was no longer a lunch buffet. However, we were greeted so kindly and told about the $15 lunch special.The lunch special was a lot of food, your choice of curries, with rice, naan, salad, and they brought little bites for us before our meal began.We also had a mango lassi, which was fresh and delicious with cardamon.We took home a tupperware of food and were completely full.”
“I've been here only once before. This place is better appointed then the Kitchener location, and sounds don't bounce around as badly, so you can actually maintain a conversation here. The food is decent and i was shocked at how quickly it was delivered. The store was clean, the staff were polite and efficient.I'll return.”
“Its been almost a month that I have subscribed for their tiffin services and I absolutely love the food. The biggest TRP is that unlike many other tiffin providers they do not provide dal everyday (which is a great point). Their menu is not repetative or boring and the food is very home like. Absolutely love it!”

“Reasonable price + Reasonable foodOverall best food for this price.Apparently the price $22.99(lunch) is the cheapest in kw.Tho most of food there were not fresh.Interior and service was good as well.Chair and tables were spacious and comfortable.Their chicken finger food was really good, but chicken roll was too chewy.”

“Its quiet, cozy cafe that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. You order and pay before sitting down and the friendly staff will bring it to you when its ready. Limited seatings.Lots of parking. Good food, great prices. Service was quick, friendly...In overall, Good location, interior needs an update as there are some torn seat cushions and such.Parking: Free parking lotKid-friendliness: Kids menu availableWheelchair accessibility: No issues with the wheelchair accessibility”
“Food comes quick, tasty and well priced. Just get there early to find a good parking spot during lunch! Employees are friendly but sometimes can take a while to get drink refills.”
“I had to go here to quench my thirst and since I love citrus fruits m, I ordered the classic orange juice here. Didn’t take much time. Presentable packaging. Little to no wait time. Great work. All around applause from me. You guys are great. Reasonable prices too.If anyone wants some kind of juice to drink, go here. Summer is coming. Stay hydrated. Keep up the great work, Freshly squeezed.?”

“Above average for the price. $14 for a jr chicken shawarma plate. Really filling. Location is a bit sketchy at times so we just order takeout. 7/10 I’d say. Good on the way or quick break meal.”
“Its a beautiful place to spend time with your partner and friends while can have different range of coffees here and eatable stuff. Staff was good, infrastructure is pure old canadian type and is located in mid downtown.”

Shawarma Hub
“We have loved this spot for years and they continue to amaze us. The owners have been so kind, and have introduced us to terrific new foods. We have ordered lunch, brunch, and dinner, and we have not only been introduced to new foods, but they will answer all our questions , and have told us many stories of their lives, here and in the Middle East. Their menu is wide and suits so many folks, so we are always confident that when we suggest Shawerma Plus, everyone will be happy. I can't resist the fresh falafel, but I've always had a fresh and a yummy meal. We even introduced our family to this cuisine, which was new to most of them, and it was a big hit! We ordered a big meal for a celebration a while ago, and it was enjoyed by one and all. One of the fellows said " I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to spell it, but I want some more!" It doesn't get better than that. We tend to go to the original restaurant, just because we are used to it, but we have been to, and brought 'newbies' to the newer and larger restaurant, and it was of the same caliber of the original . Don't miss this place!”

Swiss Chalet
“We went to the Boardwalk location on January 27, 2024. The place was busy and our server, Vanshika was wonderful. All the servers that I could see were just about running around trying to keep customers happy and serve us as quickly as possible.There was a bit of a wait for our food, but they told us as we walked in that it would be 20 minutes for white meat. They were upfront about it.Our appetizer and meals were fresh, warm and delicious. They even offered free desserts because of the wait. We were out for a Saturday night meal and were more than happy to be served when the food was ready.We did overhear one lady complaining about the wait, and the gentleman who dealt with her had the patience of a saint. He did an excellent job keeping his cool with a difficult customer. The staff that night did a fantastic job.We will keep going back as the food is excellent every time we go.”
“I just put in an online order tonight. Because my schedule changed I figured I’d go early and wait....they had it ready. The packing of the sauces and food was very well thought out. The employee who I spoke to was extremely friendly as well. The food was so fresh and tasted amazing (much better than my usual which had fallen off in quality) This was the first time eating from this restaurant and it will now be my “go to” place for sushi. I actually saw the ads online Facebook Thank you so much for providing a fantastic meal and experience”

Keep up the good work!Previous comment: Feels like after COVID-19 they don’t care about the dining area anymore. It’s like it doesn’t even exist to them. It’s always dirty and messy. And the order system for dining in is on 2nd plan as well. Note: not only this Tim Hortons; I’ve noticed that other locations have the same issue!”

“Discoverd this gem today while I was out and about, what a wonderful cafe! The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming and it is kept very clean. The staff are wonderful!I had the chance to meet the owner, a lovely fellow, he offered me a delicious sample of the made fresh daily soup while I waited for my coffees to brew. This was actually the second time I went in today, I stopped in earlier to grab a coffee while I was in the area, I ended up getting a coffee and a banana bread muffin. The muffin was honestly the best muffin I have had, it was a europhic experience eating it. It was good that before I left the area to return home I stopped by again to grab some coffees and more muffins to bring home to the Misses.10/10 would recommend and 10/10 I will be back!Vegetarian options: The soup is vegan and gluten free!Parking: Lots of parking as the cafe is located in a plaza.”

“WOW, WOW, WOW! Is all we have to say. The food we received Saturday November 12 for a 30th birthday was above exceptional. Everything arrived on time, hot and great amount of food for around the 20 people we had. Not a single complaint was heard. Everyone enjoyed the food and went back for seconds. The chicken was juicy, potatoes and rice were very tasty and hot, the salad was soo fresh! Would recommend to anyone I know 100x over. Thank you so much again to Mario, and all the staff at The Mediterraneo for such amazing service. Ps. Couldn’t get a photo because everyone got in there right away, and how can you blame them?! Thanks so much again! - Sam Siefried & Megan”

“Clean and well organized. Fresh fruits and produce. The staff is super helpful and personable. The cashiers are helpful, kind, and happy. I use a walker and make sure I apologize to the person behind me for holding them up. Every cashier takes care of the person behind me and keeps the line moving. I never feel rushed as I pack my off to the side. I am also given help if I need anything. Thank you, Jered's IndependentGrocers.”

His recommendation of flavour combos was expert. Good vegetarian and vegan options too!Vegetarian options: The veggie fajita filling is a good vegetarian option.

“Went here to celebrate a friends birthday a few weeks ago. Honestly looking back the night was a bit of a blur but our server was very friendly and the SWEET POTATO FRIES… ?? I still dream about ”
“The food is what it is for this type of chain, but the bartender was quite accommodating, so he deserves a shout for his dedication on Saturday night. There aren't many drink options low in sugar on this menu, and he took the time to modify a mojito so I wouldn't die from the sweetness. Great service experience.”
“Mac n cheese and pow pow (lol actually Bang Bang) shrimp I think they were called. Very good. Large portions. Only problem was the toast. I was going to say garlic toast but it tasted so burnt I couldn't eat it. The guy who burns them in the back should try it and figure out how to get it grilled without making them inedible. No point in putting it on a plate if it tastes that bad.”
“It's good ambience and welcoming space I love the service and yummy ? tummy ? ✌️??Vegetarian options: Better options than other places .thank you ? I'm satisfied ? ☺️”

“I recently tried the Chicken Tikka Biryani from Manas Food Express, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic, and the chicken was tender and well-marinated. The portion size was generous, making it great value for money. The biryani had the perfect balance of spices, and every bite was a delight. The packaging was neat and secure, ensuring the food arrived fresh and hot. Overall, I highly recommend trying the Chicken Tikka Biryani from Manas Food Express in waterloo for a satisfying and flavorful meal experience.”
“My go to burger spot in Kitchener It is always fresh and made to order.My favourite the classic cheeseburger always slaps and is sooo juicy + paired with great toppings.”
“I visited the place with my friends on other day. I went there with normal expectations BUT I must say it was the right decision. They have many options in various categories of non-conventional food. The delicacies were reasonably priced and tasty. The owner is friendly and helped with choices. Last but not the least, it remains open till late night so no more hunting for food. Overall the pleasant visit and would recommend this eatery for great taste and easy on pocket. Cheers.”
“My friends and I love having brunch at Korner Kitchen. There are lots of healthy options on the menu. Food is mostly cooked perfectly and most dishes look and taste delicious. I love waffles, the Fiesta skillet, most of the omelettes, and generally the quality and freshness of ingredients used. The drip coffee tastes great, too. However, some of the sweeter breakfast options at this restaurant are a little too sweet for my liking. The hash browns could also be crispier and better seasoned.In my experience, the staff at Korner Kitchen has always gone above and beyond to provide a great service to their guests. The interior is bright, spacious, and clean, with a positive vibe. It is definitely one of my go-to restaurants for brunch in the KW area.”
“Great service from Sainath. I came by late at night and he treated me with excellent service and made sure I was taken care of. He gave me an appropriate wait time even though it was late and he kept me updated, as well as made sure I was comfortable during the wait time.”

If you're in search of genuine Persian dishes and a comfortable dining environment, Kabob Place is worth checking out. Highly recommend giving it a try.”
