Restaurants in Oshawa

“Your staff are very courteous and friendly. Our waitresses Heidi and Sharon were amazing. Thank you for an exceptional evening out. We had my husbands birthday dinner on August 30,2024.”

“Kay is an excellent server. She brewed a fresh pot of decaf for me ?, told us the specials & offered & brought water while we waited. She has an authentic, people loving personality. She as very warm an friendly. She’s everything a great waitress/server should be. ??”

“We were a party of 4, one member of our group had serious mobility struggles . All staff around us went beyond reasonable expectations, demonstrating so much patience and making efforts to accommodate some irregular requests. The staff was so considerate and helpful, I can begin to explain how helpful it was in a stressful situation. Their kindness did not go unnoticed … service was top notch - food was alright - mashed potatoes were terrible but otherwise, would recommend ! Thank you.”

“I have always loved this restaurant, the food arrives quickly and Is always hot & fresh, nice waitresses, make you feel at home”

“What a surprise to find a place that makes chicken wings so yummy and delicious. Our server, Amanda, told us beforehand but I had to find out for myself. We will be back for sure!”

“Family environment. Respectful and fast service.”

“I liked the food in Hurry Curry, the taste is awesome it fills stomach and heart”

“Head and shoulders above the alternative. Excellent restaurant, the fish and chips was amazing, taste and texture and presentation was excellent. $135 for 4 adults (soft drinks). Our waiter was perfectly attentive. Clientele were happy and friendly. Will definitely go back. Washrooms spotless, family/single washroom.”

“Just wanted to say - the decision to make the chicken tenders and serve them drowning in sauce is an awful one. The chicken tenders used to be nice and crispy and they now are served soggy and wet with way too much sauce.”

“Great meal, such a great place to dine!!!”

“Shelby Shawarma truly stands out for its delicious flavors and exceptional service! A special shoutout to Khushbu and Krisha for their dedication and warm hospitality. Their friendly demeanor and attention to detail make every visit a delightful experience. Keep up the fantastic work!

Vegetarian options: Falafel Bowl”

“Best shawarma in Oshawa, maybe perhaps best ever? The answer is probably.”

“soooooooooo good i love it”

“Breakfast, brunch or lunch, the food is always amazing. Large portions, lovingly prepared by the friendly staff, my family and I have been dining here for almost five years on a weekly basis.”

“Had this really delicious Arabic ice cream with interesting texture from the S&H booth in Toronto’s Halal Bites Festival in a very reasonable price. Not too sweet. Flavourful. This makes me wanna have this again soon. Then I find out there is no similar product in GTA. And the S&H store is so far from me. So my only complain is please! Open a store in GTA!!!”

“With a wonderfully nice waitstaff by the name of Emma we had a great lunch. All dietary concerns were meet as i leave with a full belly filled with lovely soup , healthy green salad, and a toasty fresh loaf. Thanks for lunch”

“tejbir is a great staff; very friendly.”

“I never come to ESM but decided to after YEARs of not… I was skeptical because my last visit wasn’t great. However, the food was fabulous and my Server, Amy, was super attentive and provided amazing service. I will be back!”

“OMG Fantastic all around. Sit in Beverly’s section she was our server and so service oriented. Our lunch here just awesome.”

“The food was exceptional and everyone should support this wonderful family owned business. Mary was excellent and was what customer service should've. We will be back!”

“Operating a pizza oven out of a food truck! Amazing experience. Ordered a Spicy-za and Margherita pizza. Good service just took under 10 minutes to get the food. Truck is parked on Main Street and Queen in Brampton for the lighting of the Xmas ? tree. The pizzas were cooked well from the bottom but was doughy on top even though it was thin. Of course the Spicy-za pizza had the most flavours.”

“I ordered during a street festival that I was a vendor at - and not only did the Oshawa location call to give a heads up about the event, they even hand delivered it to my booth and then even followed up to ask how it was. The food was incredible and the customer service is unmatched. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back soon”

“I had dinner at Red Lobster 🦞 Oshawa location and it was absolutely delicious, great service and price was very reasonable with great portions. It was so nice to have dinner and not be disappointed w the food, price and service. Fish and chips haddock Wednesdays for $17.”

“The staff was good the food was great Atmosphere was good, I will love to go again!!!”

“best pub in town and the food specials are fantastic”

“We have been to Whiskey John's a number of times, the last couple times we were there Amanda was our server, she is fast, friendly and keeps an eye on her tables, making sure everyone is happy.
Amanda is great at her job.
Looking forward to our next night out there.”

“We dined last night for my birthday dinner and we enjoyed our meals so much! Erin our server was so sweet and accommodating. We ordered the Mediterranean smash burger, the steak and mushroom pie and kids fish and chips. The burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a restaurant. it's was cooked and seasoned to perfection! the pie had a beautiful buttery crust and dark brown gravy, it was scrumptious! Our daughter loved her meal too. We had 2 gift cards to use, but we didn't because we saved 1 so we can go back. We haven't had a decent dining out experience in the last 4 years. THANK YOU!”

“Hands down the best caesar salad I have ever tasted!”

“First time trying China Wok. Surprisied the food was actually pretty good. Great portions had a lot of left overs.

One of the dishes had I think 90% broccoli in it. So the portion size can be deceiving.

Will def be back to try other dishes.”

“quick service and amazing food”

“Great food! Orders came in fast, and super nice employees”

“On Thursday, Nov 23rd I unfortunately had to visit the Oshawa hospital. I went to the Tim Hortons inside there, and I was truly in a sad place. I was greeted by a woman by the name Michelle. I believe she had red hair. She truly made me feel like I was important and not just another customer. I was sad that day she welcomed me with a smile she directed me to where to pick up my coffee. I was truly greadful for her kind words and manner in which she presented herself.
Your facility should be grateful for having a customer service rep like her. I would definitely come back just hoping to be served by Michelle again.
I hope she will get to see this as I would like to thank her for how she made me feel a little better that day.”

“It's a bit more expensive than other fast food places but worth it imo. I always get the beyond burger, a vegetarian option. Whenever I go to this drive thru the staff are friendly.”

“I used to love coming here when I'd go thrifting at the nearby value village. I swung by today cause I was hungry even though I'm trying to cut back on fast food. It's a nice treat every once in a while. Anywho, usually things go smoothly but today there was a bit of a miscommunication. But we were able to talk through it which I'm grateful for. Usually I'll take it as is but we got my order corrected and everyone was so apologetic. This is why I love coming back to this location, the service is unmatched.
Also, whoever was in charge of the music today, great taste 👌”

“A word of advice, go on a Wednesday Afternoon. Place is deserted, full kitchen of staff, ready to serve you. Cashier was super kind, and patient while I decided on what to get. The frosty I got was so creamy, just the right texture, not too frozen, not too melted. Only got one brain freeze while eating it. The chicken nuggets aren't burger king nuggets, at least. Very soft, breading crunchy, but cooked and chilled just right. Service so good I'm actually surprised. Will definitely be going to this one over the harmony location.”

“Lost a star because you can't get into it 24hrs, it's only drive thru when late or early. I have a truck and trailer and have a horrible time finding an open Tim's early am. Otherwise it's fine. Typical Timmies.”

“Thank you Timmies for Saving the day”

“Food came fast & was tasty.
Atmosphere was ok.
You’ll have to ask for the washroom key from an overwhelmed server who’s trying to multi task so pack your patience.
There were messy tables with no one sitting at them & the garbages here were all overflowing.
There was a server out on the floor trying to keep up with the dining room cleaning.
Other than, that it was a regular old coffee house that was just -super busy.”

“Went through the drive thru for some breakfast on Friday April 25th. The best I think I have ever had (not to mention it was very hot). Definitely, don't go to McDonald's often, but this location seems to be doing something, right. Impressed for McDonalds! WTG!”

“We always go this McDonald's when we are in the area as we live out of town. The food is always done right here as we order it a certain way and it's always delicious (as much as fast food can be). The service could be a little better, they do listen to what you have to say, but a lot of times at this location their service is a little slow and almost every time, they have a hard time hearing anything at the speaker, so they may want to look into that.

Parking: Very small lot.”

“Omg! Where to begin. Food was AMAZING!!! Great customer service. Fast and reasonably priced. We shared an order of butter chicken tacos and also a small masala fries between two of us. We were not left hungry, by any means, but wanted more just because it was so darn good.”

“Hanoi is becoming a favourite for our family. We love the garlic shrimp noodles and bahn mi sandwiches, apps and the best smoothies!”

“Went to their Whitby branch and order cheese burger with fries. Staff is friendly . Food was freshly prepared,tasty. Large portion. Fries topped with delicious sauce. Highly recommended. 100 percent halal food. Highly recommended”

“Amazing stores, extra large candy and pop shop, tons of vendors, a must go destination”

“I come here about once a week and the service here is amazing!! Staff are always so kind and willing to start up a convo, it really adds to the friendly atmosphere!! It's always clean, not to mention the super fast service and minimal wait times!!! I totally recommend this location ?”

“We've been coming to this place for years, and it’s still the best shawarma in town! The food is consistently delicious, with great taste and generous portions. The owners and staff are always friendly and accommodating, making each visit a pleasure. Highly recommend!”

“Druv and his team are the most professional to deal with. My daughters team wanted to do a team meal at the hotel that we could take out and Dhruv made this process so very simple.. the taco meal that we ordered for 35 people was delicious. Everybody was so happy with their dinner, and we will definitely be utilizing this meal option again when we are back in town for tournaments, and we will be passing along his name to other teams too.”

“Ordered delivery last night. First time eating from here. It was amazing! My kids loved it and we will definitely order again. Lots of food and everything was so good.”

“It’s amazing food that comes in big portions for such a great price! Instantly found myself craving for more the next day”

“Again it's amazing place to come and it we had Barbarian which is the meat and potatoes. 3slices of peameal (check the pics ) 3 grilled ham 3 large farmer's sausages and 3 strips of bacon ( done perfectly) and a heaping of homefries . Check the pics. You have not breakfast until you come here. The Egg Benedict superb (Again check the pics) the prices are great the staff amazing the chef and cook Superior. It's a small cozy place .Gets busy so if there is a line wait it's well worth it. Coffee is good and don't forget to ask for the hot mustard.”

“Everything runs like a tight ship from the entry line to the dining room staff to the kitchen.
Kudos to the owners, management & especially the kitchen & wait staff.
Quality food, consistently great everything”

“This is probably the best and my favorite sushi spot in Oshawa, they offer all you can eat as well. They keep adding signature roles to the menu. The service is good and the staff are friendly. You can also see the chef make your food which is cool. I've gone there so many times they know my favorites at this point. Highly recommend.”

“Hands down the best sashimi, sushi, and sushi pizza in Durham region!”

“INCREDIBLE ATMOSPHERE. THE MOST FRIENDLY STAFF. INCREDIBLE SERVICE. LOVE LOVE LOVE”

“Best ramen in Durham region.”

“The taste is really mouthwatering .the best restaurant to taste all mixed spices . Worth visiting here”

“Chef Richard and his crew. Serve up some delicious jerk. The food is always hot. So full of authentic flavours. Perfect level of spice every time. Also if you are in a hurry. Try the Patties. So freaking good!”

“Love this place! 10/10 always recommend and have never had issues ever! They exceed my expectations as always love all the bartenders and will continue to support them! Love you guys ❤️”

“Brandee was the TRUTH… welcoming, friendly, attentive, and quick.. it’s because of HER I’ll be back. Marcus is also an awesome cook!!!! #STILL”

“I have been to Mucho Burrito 3x. I really love their choices. sometimes they do cut short the toppings. however, I'm never disappointed with their food. always delicious 😋 the few times I went, a Vipal looked after my orders. he remembered me, and is always pleasant, patient and listens to what I like in my food. I really like his service. I'll be back. thank you 😊 Lorraine”

“Delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. A great place for lunch, dinner or drinks.”

“I finally tried the fries yesterday and they were perfect chip truck fries, I’ll be back.”

“Thank you so very much for the gender reveal cake that we picked up yesterday absolutely beautiful cake and the cake was so good,!!!”

“Amazingly authentic, flavourful and fresh. This is the place you want to go if you want real, unprocessed Mexican and Central American fare. The chicken and beef burritos are fat, fat, fat -- stuffed with refried beans, onions, veggies, sour cream, homemade sauce and more. Did I mention that these are fat? One $12 burrito can easily feed a hungry appetite, or last for two meals. Best deal in Durham Region. Maybe in the entire GTA.”

“Fantastic place. Safe for all. If you like to play board games, tcg, ccg, rpg or anything like that, Brew Wizards is awesome. Fantastic food, craft beer, coffee! Staff is amazing.”

“Had an opportunity to try Red Swan Pizza while visiting Orillia recently and we loved it! Crust was delicious with the sesame seeds. Pizzas were loaded with toppings and everything tasted really fresh and yummy. Wish there was a location closer to where we live. Even the next day when we reheated the leftovers the crust was excellent.”

“Amazing pizza & Wings. Very Nice staff, i will definitely be supporting this business in the future. thank you Krave, for the amazing dinner”

“The raspberry cheesecake was not as good this time as it was last time. It was definitely a few hours past its best by hour date. Additionally, it was a smaller piece than others were. He had the peanut butter brownie fudge cheesecake. If you were expecting a taste of peanut butter, dont waste your time on this one, as there was barely even a hint of peanut butter. The deserts were definitely not worth the price this time.”

“Lovely staff, attentive and friendly! Generous portions and delicious food! I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered the Greek souvlaki, the chicken was so tender for both meals! Would love to come back and try the fish and chips!”

“Waffle fries are great!

Not like your traditional fast-food chain of restaurants. They have an actual person taking your order in a booth, its more personable!

As they take your order, you pay for it right there. You drive around the building to grab your order. One of the team members walks your order out to your vehicle.

First-time experience, it was nice. Maybe having a secondary person taking orders simultaneously would be beneficial as we were in a long line.
This location seems to have the capabilities for this suggestion to exist.

Overall, it was a great experience.

Looking forward to other drive-thru locations in the GTA.”

“Very nice place! Very recommended”

“we loved it.... Delicious. will stop here for vegan food when traveling to and from Toronto...better than fast food with vegan options”

“I have tried sushi from many countries and cities, but this "Sushi Again" has a flavor so breathtaking that it stops you in your tracks. I highly recommend it! It will definitely satisfy you in every aspect, inclufing food, price, service, and atmosphere.”

“I always order the lunch boom chicken sandwich meal. Great value and great food. These guys are pro 100%.”

“Wilson Rd location is absolutely fantastic!!! Would recommend anytime to anyone I have been there multiple times food is always super hot fresh full and great portions! Clean excellent friendly fast service! Totally my new favourite 👍👍👍👍”

“Great customer service & they do have halal options available. My understanding is their chicken filet, souvlaki are halal but still just double check with them.”

“Ice cream is so yummy and tasty i like the coconut ice cream🥰🥰🥰”

“Don't buy anything from the Mary Browns in Oshawa at King St and Gibbons St. just north of the Oshawa Shopping Center. The past owner were of Asian nationality and the Chicken quality was top notch, and really fresh and hot. The new owners are east Indian nationality. Now, every piece of chicken has broken bones and blood throughout the meat. And it's not cooked properly, and soggy. Smells like the cooking oil was old as well. The staff was uninterested in working there, very sad employees.”

“The best in oshawa my family love it”

“Very classy inside. Impeccable private washrooms. The cleanest I've ever been in. Great aroma of a variety of food styles throughout the main floor. Large dining area. It doesn't feel like old downtown Oshawa. They did a fine job of bringing this building into the 21st century. This is my new refreshment spot before the Generals games. Free on street parking in front after 6.”

“the food here was amazingly delicious and the customer service was excellent I will definitely recommend this place to others thanks Arlene”

“This place is absolutely amazing! Small family owned restaurant, always welcoming and the food is fresh and delicious. The breakfast potatoes are the best I’ve ever had and the eggs are always cooked perfect. Bridgette and her daughter Melissa are always so pleasant, it’s a great way to start the day. We travel quite a ways to eat here but it’s worth it. I absolutely recommend this place.”

“Shabi put me and my boys on the chicken burgers and the chef made it mad delicious and Shabj always checked up on us and offered spectacular service. Thank you!!”

“King's Breakfast Place is a restaraunt that has been a true gem in Downtown Oshawa..
Despite the name they serve much more than breakfast..
This is a family Diner..
Everyday they have a different 'Special' on.
Last Friday the 'Special' was
Fish and Chips..
Delicious
The prices are very reasonable in these expensive times..

If you've never been here I do recommend this excellent Diner.
There are plenty of tables with padded seats..
There's three big-screen T.V.'s..
This is a very clean restaurant with large, floor to ceiling windows creating a warm, natural light which add's to the aesthetics and home-like charm to this delightful Family Restaurant..

Special thanks to outstanding Staff and Chef!!”

“I recently visited bar burrito and was served by praveen and carolin. They did fabulous job for my burrito, too delicious..!!! They maintained a professional yet friendly demeanor throughout my visit, which enhanced the overall dining experience. Their excellent service turned a regular meal into an enjoyable experience. Definitely , we’ll come back..!!”

“tejbir is a great staff; very friendly.”

“I can't speak for any other Mr Sub location but this Mr Sub is exceptional!! Honestly, my husband and I get subs at this location twice a week. Their toppings and meats are very fresh. They always make the Sub exactly how you want it and the staff are super friendly and accommodating!! I can compare to any other places because we don't go to any other places. When you find a great place with excellent quality, why are you going to take a chance being disappointed elsewhere!! If you're looking for a delicious lunch or dinner you will NOT be disappointed here!! Love it!!”

“I just have to say thank you thank you for the wonderful girl last night Kathy , even though it was 7pm and she was shutting the window to close up for the night she let me order my 3 drinks , and even chatted with us about all the snow and then even served a guy who came up behind us .
