The fries and onion rings are also very good. Can't wait to try some of their other food items as well.“

“Great burger Fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Ordering was quick and easy; you simply walk in and use the wall-mounted ordering tablets, which are very straightforward. My food was ready in about 15 minutes.
I will definitely be coming back, as the burger has a delicious homemade taste.“

“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!“

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

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

“Absolutely loved the food at Xpress!
The taste was amazing and the service was equally great.

We tried the Gravy Paneer Momos, and they were outstanding. The momos were perfectly cooked and soft, and the gravy was rich and flavorful. It actually had that creamy, buttery taste similar to butter chicken gravy — but in a delicious vegetarian version!

The staff was friendly, and the service was quick and smooth. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommended if you’re a momo lover! 😋“

“the burgers taste delicious and service is outstanding!!:)“

“highly recommend. the food is incredible and the owner is the sweetest most welcoming lady.“

“I had an amazing experience at THG Hot Fried Chicken in Waterloo. I tried the shrimp and the spicy tenders, and both were perfectly cooked crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The truffle parmesan dip was next level and paired beautifully with the tenders. Every bite was packed with flavor. Definitely a must visit for anyone craving indulgent, crave worthy fried chicken. ❤️“

“I love there ice cream blizzards“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“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.“

“We ate there for the first time tonight. Very good food. Fresh cut fries and toppings. Food was nice and hot. Staff was very helpful, polite and efficient. So many other things to try too! Definitely better than McDonalds!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Been to barburrito twice now and both times I wasn't disappointed. Delicious food and a lot of it! Friendly staf. Will keep going back. Bring your appetite!!“

“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 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!“

“I love the tacos and super friendly people“

“Came in with my family, everything was excellent. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Would go back again.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“I got the orinal burger and found that the beef tasted real. If the bus was toasted more it would have taken the experience to the next level. Make sure to get sauces and the burger while a good flavor baseline, is pretty bland. Tasted only salted, but the chipotle sauce was nice. Will come back again, Lord willing.

The milkshake is incredible, better than many other major franchises, I had the regular and it's quite thick and filling. Imagining the Large is scary, haha“

“Nice place to have perogies was walking in st Jacobs farmers market and found this place. I tried the sample first and it slapped and it was so good so I got the combo 1 with lemonade. The perogies were good and better than the frozen ones also the lemonade was refreshing.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience at this pizza place! The worker was very friendly and provided excellent service. He was respectful, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable. He was also quick with our order and kept a smile on his face the whole time. As for the pizza, it was absolutely delicious—the dough was soft, and the ingredients were fresh. I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re looking for great food and top-notch service. Big thanks to the worker for his kindness! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at BarBurrito thanks to Rama and Assish. Both were very friendly, polite, and provided excellent customer service. They prepared my order quickly and made sure everything was fresh and perfect. Their positive attitude and professionalism made my visit even better. Employees like them make customers want to come back again. Highly recommended!“

“Visited Subway today and had a great experience. Mihir was very polite, friendly, and helped us choose really good food. His service made our visit even better. The food was fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend this place and will visit again!☺️“

“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.“

“$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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ?“

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

“I ordered the 2 piece chicken special and it was excellent — hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The staff were so friendly and provided great customer service, which really stood out. They were out of biscuits today, but everything else more than made up for it. I tried the strawberry pie for dessert and it was warm, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Great food and even better service!“

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

“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.“

“I went to Rock Paper Scissors today and asked for a spicy crispy chicken sandwich and was not disappointed. About a 5-7 minute wait after ordering I had received a takeout bag and walked to a bench at Waterloo Park to eat it. I will definitely be back in the future.“

“Pretty sure I was told this is the busiest mcdonalds in Ontario, or maybe Canada. Either way. Overall a very good place. It gets leniency for the people they get at nighttime cause they don't have control over it. But they do very well for their location and busyness“

“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 :-)“

“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.“

“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.“
