“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.“

“Anything and everything. You dont have to ask for a free smile as you get one coming in and leaving.“

“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.“

“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 love the NewYork Veg. Poutine. Also the service is great!!“

“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.“

“thank you for the BLM sign. your burger was fantastically juicy“

“I visited for the first time , staff is very friendly and atmosphere is clean. I tried veg steam momos and veg kurkure momos , no doubt it is the best momos i ever tried. Must recommended for vegetarians.

Rummy and Rajvi, staff has managed things and food really very well.“

“The tastiest hot chicken sandwich in Kitchener-Waterloo. Two sliders, a crispy chicken tender, and fries, all at an unbelievably low price before 4pm! The customer service was fantastic and friendly too, she gave us great recommendations. Highly recommending to all my friends.“

“Excellent quality food. Reasonable prices, and flat out delicious. I enjoyed every bite. If you are craving poutine, go directly to smoke’s!“

“Mr. Pretzel at Conestoga Mall is always a win 🥨 Fresh, warm pretzels every time and the smell alone pulls you in. The staff are friendly and fast, even when it’s busy. Perfect spot for a quick snack while shopping. Definitely recommend!“

“Was craving poutine on night and ordered from here
Got 2 classic poutine 1 with beef gravy and other mushroom one
The quantity was good so were the gravy nice specially the beef one
One things that’s was not up to mark was cheese curd , not sure is was due to heat but the cheese was melted and seems less of curd cheese and more like cheddar“

“Had a lunch here, they have table service and we're friendly. Can't ask for much more from mcdonalds.

One of my fries came with too little fries! Half as much as it should. I complained, and they gave me a small order of fries to make up for it. Even brought it to my table. Good service.“

“Harsh made the entire experience fantastic from start to finish. His professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail truly stood out. He’s a shining star for this location and a tremendous asset to the team. Each pizza he makes is with love.“

“I came here for my first time by myself looking for a small, yummy bite. I asked what would be the best, he, Hem (the employee) told me it’s all yummy but he suggested some of his favs. I got a vegan parm chicken burger and it was so yummy! I’d come here again!“

“love this location!! just down the street from us, so we often take a walk with the dog to get her some ice cream. no complaints from her! staff was very helpful on making decisions on a cake a few weeks ago too!“

“I have been to this restaurant a few times and I must say that the food has been the same good taste and consistently delicious for as long as I remember. The staff is very friendly and supportive along with that the ambience of the dining area is also immaculate.“

“I had a great experience at BarBurrito. The food was fresh, tasty, and made exactly how I wanted it.

Big thanks to Palak for the friendly service and to the manager Rama for being very kind and helpful. Overall, great service and I’d definitely come back again.“

“I was here a little while ago, I was having a really bad day and the employee who helped me, Henil, really made my day. I asked for as many pickles as he can possibly put on there and he put so much it made me smile. So thank you Henil for turning my crappy day into one I'm still happy about over a week later. I'm not one to leave reviews on chain restaurants/food places but I really just want to thank that one employee.

(I asked for his name and he put it on a cookie bag, that really made me laugh too)“

“The best pierogis I’ve ever had, the texture is so soft and pillowy, these are the only pierogis I’ve ever had that didn’t taste like grocery store quality. The girl working was not very friendly though, she seems too shy/reserved to be in a customer facing role. Price is a little high for what you get but I would get these again as they are very tasty.“

“A great go to for the classic poutine without costing too much. This review is strictly for the poutine where ive gone for the past 10+ years. There are two locations in st Jacobs. One is outdoors and another is indoors at one of the buildings. The fries come out piping hot and fresh. A good ratio of crisp exterior to plump but not overly plumpy interior. Cheese curds are used here and due to the hot gravy it melts appropriately as it should. Small poutine now cost $6.64. They also serve sweet potato fries, hot dogs and chicken fingers. Gravy is just right - flavourful and not salty for the standard poutine.“

“$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.“

“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!“

“Been coming here for years!

The consistency with quantities and portioning of individual ingredients regardless of the staff, IS what makes me keep coming back!

NOTE: This location doesn't serve food (burgers and all) though.“

“This place is so iconic! Growing up, I used to play in Waterloo Park, and stopping here for ice cream on hot summer days was always a treat. Even after all these years, I still swing by for a little snack while walking around—it’s just as nice as I remember! :)“

“To be honest for mall food this one is really good I have tried a few times at Fairview but going at Conestoga I have stopped here couple of times. I have tried barbecue or bourbon style chicken I guess with noodles and they are really good.“

“One of the best shawarmas I’ve had in Canada since leaving Dubai. The owner is a genuinely kind-hearted person, and his shawarma truly took me back to Dubai with its authentic taste and quality. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. This has definitely become my go-to shawarma place from now on. Highly recommended!“

“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 ?“

“Was there today and had a great Canadian sandwich which I have not had in years and love that you brought it back. The only issue I had was the beef could have been hotter, the curly fries were piping hot and delicious. Thanks for bringing back the great Canadian sandwich, I will be back to get one again soon.“

“I was craving late night fast food so thought of ordered from Popeyes and it did not disappoint.

The onion rings as side were really crunchy and nice. The burger itself had a really big size fried chicken and all works definitely turned out to be nice. We ordered a combo through Uber Eats and I believe it was on offer so under 30$ we got meals for 2 with drinks.

Definitely suggest as late night food around Waterloo.“

“Servizio e cibo buoni. Ottimo x una serata in compagnia!“

“This location is excellent! I would specially like to give a shout out to the wonderful lady working the cash register. I’ve never been to a Popeyes before and she guided me through the experience like no one has ever done before…! I felt like I was in a different universe. She held my hand and said a prayer with me before we ate the beautiful tenders I had decided on ordering. I have never felt more at home. Before I left, she told me she had a parting gift as I had made her day much more wonderful. I got a big hug…! Please give her a raise, it’s the only thing I ask for in life!“

“huge portions, delicious food, reasonable prices based on how much food you get....it's alot!!“

“My favourite restaurant in the plaza. I usually get Shanghai Noodles, Green Beans and Baba Chicken. I haven't had issues with service like some had said down below, so it depends on the server I guess. I am iffy on the cleanliness though.“

“The service was excellent, they really took the time to educate us about their menu and ensured we enjoyed our order. After eating a burrito, my sister had the bowl version, we felt good about what we ate...no fast food consumption regret here :-)“

“we just had whoppers delivered to us. we don't eat whoppers often but today we decided to have them. I must day who ever made them and wrapped did a perfect job. they were tadtey and held together while we ate the. the condiments were perfectly placed. Thank you.“

“Great service
Went in at 7:30 and had no clue what I was gonna order.
The young woman was patient with me. I think it was 750 by the time I got my food. And she had no problem with me sitting there and eating, even though there was only 10 more minutes until they were closing.“

“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.“

“$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.“

“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.“
