“We cannot say enough about our experience at Pepe and Lela’s tonight. We almost cancelled because of the snow but thankfully we didn’t because it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food is all house-made, authentic and absolutely delicious. Our server, Amanda was literally the best. She was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. It is so refreshing to go out for a meal and enjoy every minute of the entire experience. Everyone should try this gem- you won’t be disappointed.”

“The Cherry House never disappoints. Michael and his team deliver impeccable service in an elegant yet comfortable setting—fine dining without the pretense. We started with a crisp Caesar salad (the only one I've ever had that I can say compete with my father's - even Dad agreed) and a beautifully balanced Caprese salad with the freshest basil, both savoury and well-executed. Even the bread and butter were exceptionally phenomenal—a simple yet telling detail of the kitchen’s commitment to quality. For mains, the halibut was perfectly tender, the rack of lamb with scallops rich and flavourful, and the filet mignon flawlessly cooked with a peppercorn sauce that was absolute perfection. Each dish showcased precision and top-quality ingredients, all complemented by a bold, complex 2013 Brunello Monticiano. A silky crème brûlée and expertly crafted Spanish coffees was the ultimate indulgence to finish this exceptional meal. Consistently outstanding—sophisticated, polished, and always worth returning to.”

The subs? Next-level. Fresh, flavourful, and honestly some of the yummiest we’ve ever had. And the portions were so wildly generous! You definitely get way more than you pay for.
Wish every spot was as fantastic as Goody’s. Thank you and we can’t wait to come back when we're in town again! 🙌🥪🔥”

I've been to other restaurants of your calibre and I'm not spending that much for a glass of wine.”

“We had one of the best dinners we’ve ever eaten at this restaurant, and we are foodies so that is saying something. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere and ambiance was intimate and classy. But let’s talk about the FOOD! Ugh! I splurged and tried the certified A5 Kobe, and it did not disappoint! It was incredibly buttery, tender, and perfectly cooked to temp, I couldn’t get enough. We’ve been to Japan and had A5 Kobe and Wagyu, and this was right up top with the cuts we had there. The sides were nothing short of phenomenal! We also had the sushi assortment with maki, nigiri and sashimi and it was mouth watering. I wish we lived right next door to this place, but I guess it’s better for my wallet that we don’t. If you’re considering eating here, DO IT!”

The food quality is consistently top-tier — perfectly seasoned, full of flavour, and clearly made with care every single time. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Portions are generous, ingredients are fresh, and everything tastes exactly the way great jerk should.
What really sets Jus Jerk apart is their efficiency and customer care. Even during busy periods, orders are handled quickly without sacrificing quality. The team is organized, friendly, and genuinely appreciative of their customers, which makes the experience that much better.
If you’re looking for authentic jerk with incredible flavour, fast service, and people who truly care about their craft, Jus Jerk is the place. Easily one of the best food spots in Burlington — highly recommended.”

It’s nice to have here for parents or individuals coming for one of the various activities that are hosted here.
The service was great, very friendly and quick, and the americano I got was pretty good.”

Indian • $
“We were in the mood for some Indian food and decided to try this place as we had never heard of it before. We tried the lentil soup, butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala, along with the chicken samosas and garlic chili naan. The food was absolutely stellar! Probably the best lentil soup and tikka masala I’ve ever had. Service was very kind and friendly. Only thing I would say needs improvement is the atmosphere in their modest dine-in space. They only just opened a dine-in area recently (they were predominantly a takeaway) so I’d cut them a bit of slack. There’s a tv on the wall but it was off. No music. It was so quiet we could hear other people chewing across the room. Play some music, and offer ice for the lukewarm water, and this place would be 5 stars. Give them a try!”

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people who work here, the cooks, the atmosphere (when indoor dining is allowed), and of course the food. The waitress who works here, I don’t know her name, but she is absolutely amazing. She is just THE sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She restores my faith in humanity everytime I come here. The food is always incredible, always tasty, fresh and full of flavour. There’s a handful of vegan options, the onion bhajis are my absolute favourite and I have the utmost faith and trust in Prince Of India when it comes to the knowledge of food restrictions, they ask how spicy you want your dish (mild, medium or spicy) and they really do give great sized portions. You even get a discount on your meal when you dine in, which is such a nice bonus. I recommend Prince Of India to everyone I talk to, quite literally. If you’re looking for authentic food, and even further, authentic people, this is the place.”

“Went for the 3rd time today. This is going to be my go to fried chicken place! They make great Korean fried chicken (sometime I want to try something else, but I can’t get past the chicken ;) ). Also, really great service (shoutout to Chris). Read reviews and someone gave this place a one star review for food, service and atmosphere because they closed the kitchen a little early… not merited IMO. Life happens, but they make good food and have good service. Small places like this rely on reviews and an unmerited 1 start does real damage.”

“A good ol' public house with the food you would expect from one. Lots of typical British style cooked to perfection and a good selection of alcohols. Lovely atmosphere both indoors and on the patio, and friendly staff. Would love to give this place 5 stars, but our tables fries were overcooked and hard to get through, but genuinely enjoyed everything else. Got the featured club sandwich (grilled chicken, portebello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, melted brie, lettuce and tomato) and it was incredible. Will definitely be returning next time we're in the city”

“Amazing food, exceptionally caring and attentive staff. The people here go out of there way to make sure customers are happy, comfortable and taken care of. Tonight I ordered through uber eats and accidently canceled the order, UE. Charged a 95% cancelation fee to my CC without telling me.. when I noticed the charge on my card, I spoke to Uber eats who refused to refund the "cancelation fee", and would not place a reorder without me paying again (double charge) for the original order. I ended up driving to the restaurant and told them of the situation and they made sure I was taken care of. They fufulied my order without knowing if UE would give them the money they are owed. I absolutely recommend this place and have ordered from them many times, every single time the food is incredible. If you're looking for a nice night out, or take out food, you can't go wrong with August 8 Burlington!”

I always lose a few pounds and feel really energized and clear headed during and afterwards. My favourite is the Creamy Cashew at end of the day, never has a drink felt more satiating and worth the wait. Juices are always well packaged, consistently fresh and it is so convenient to get them delivered. Would definitely recommend.”

“My recent dinner at Spencers was a perfect example of how truly exceptional hospitality can turn a small issue into a memorable highlight. My wife had ordered KOBE beef burger. When the plate arrived, the presentation was lovely, but upon her biting into the patty, it was undeniably rare and undercooked. Although we both like medium burgers for their juiciness, my wife is pregnant and cannot enjoy due to medical reasons. Now, let's be honest: in the rush of a busy dinner service, kitchen errors do happen. That is simply a fact of the industry. What differentiates a mediocre restaurant from a truly outstanding one is the recovery, and the team at Spencers executed a flawless, five-star recovery. We also noticed that a manager touched every table to ensure everything was OK. Manager Daniel approached our table, offered a genuine, warm apology and whisked the plate away, promising to take it off our bill (this was not requested or needed) The recovery that followed went far beyond the simple expectation of a corrected meal. The manager immediately informed us that the entire cost of the burger would be removed from our bill and even surprised us by preparing and dropping off a new one for us to take home. (Agin not requested or needed) We left the restaurant feeling profoundly special and deeply valued. The entire staff, from the kitchen to the floor, treated the mistake not as an annoyance, but as an opportunity to truly shine and earn our loyalty. They didn't just fix an order; they actively sought to spoil us and ensure we had a fantastic evening. This level of dedication makes Spencers a place we will happily return to again and again.”

“My family has been coming to this location for over 20 years. While the menu and the staff has changed, the experience is always delicious! We were there on Thursday and Remas was our server. She was friendly and attentive, and the desserts did not disappoint. My only request would be that they be more generous with their toppings (the amount has become less and less over the years) especially for the cost.”

“One night this past week, while staying at the Waterfront Hotel, I walked around the area looking for an inexpensive, fast restaurant to buy dinner to bring back to my room. I saw someone go into Sandwich Station so I eventually ended up there too. Glad I did! Very pleasant man at the counter, the portobello mushroom sandwich was delicious, so was the tomato and basil soup (which came with garlic bread), my husband loved the meatball sandwich, said it was one of the best ones he’s had. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the location, and as a vegetarian I was pleased to see several interesting options available. Also, there are lots of tables if you choose to eat there.”

“The restaurant was very nice, the server was also very nice although she forgot to grab us a couple things. The wait times are relatively long say 30 minutes to one hour. I think the place needs more staff due to a couple servers doing everything and is why people have to wait a long time. The people who sat next to us waited at least a hour and Noone came to them so they left without drinks or anything that was not good to see. Think just needs to be run better. I also work in hospitality so I know how tough things can get. Food quality is what I expected, nothing fancy just a decent meal. I'd come back.”

“It's our first time here. We were happily greeted when we walk in, then every thing was explained to us. We built 3 poke bowls and never felt rushed to make our choices. The service over all was phenomenal - I would give it more then 5 stars if I could.
The food was equally as good.
The restaurant was modern and very clean.”

“I recently visited this restaurant over weekend twice actlly..I was really impressed with the excellent food quality ...everything tasted amazing! The staff membrs were friendly, active, nd quick, which made the experience even better.
However, the team seemed a bit understaffed for the number of orders, n the way they shouted food items at the back felt a little too loud for customers, it felt like school kids rhyming something.... I understand it perhaps part of their process, but it could be handled more quietly for a calmer atmosphere out there...
The front desk girl, Mani, was polite and professional, though repeating name twice for the takeout order didn’t feel necessary...
Overall, fantastic food and great service, but adding a few more team members n calm atmosphere would make the experience even better.”
