Restaurants in Peterborough

“stop in just about every Monday for the 1/2 price wings, always done to perfection. Looked after by Ashley, she is the best.”

“Great smash burger.
The burger is amazing, the people here are so friendly.
There are only two people work here, so it’s a little bit overloading, it might take you waiting for a while, but it’s definitely worth your time.”

The food was delicious and I was beyond impressed with the presentation and flavours. Samantha, was our server and she went the extra mile to make our dining experience a pleasant one. She helped answer questions about the menu and tended to our table in a professional and warm matter. Top notch service!”

“good food and awesome service.”

“7+ years ago we dined here for our first date and never dreamed this restaurant could get any better. Well they proved us wrong. It was amazing!! Still the prettiest place inside! Best bruchetta & caesar salads we've had anywhere! Had to sample the lobster mac n cheese, seafood gorgonzola & Marty recommended the wagyu steak. He even brought the meat out to show us. It was a true beauty! Leftovers to take home, desserts, coffee & an espresso martini made this a meal we won't soon forget! We already can't wait to come back! ♡”

“The smoked duck sandwich was incredibly good!!! Thank you!!”

“Nice, friendly staff and great food. However, should work to improve the ambience.”

“Always excellent food and outstanding service. We never leave there disappointed.”

“amazing dinner tonight celebrating my 65th bday. our waitress went above and beyond”

“I’ve always enjoyed Swiss Chalet”

“This review reflects my opinion of the restaurant as a place to get a quick take-out pizza. I'm actually not happy with this Boston Pizza for messing up my order, but I appreciate the attempts to make it right well enough to recommend the place. The employees tried their best, and they were busy. $33 for a medium pepperoni pizza, though..? It was good pizza, sure, but not really worth it for quick take-out. I think you have to get a table and dine-in to fully appreciate the price.”

“We had our annual work xmas get together tonight
26 people
Service was great .few issues with food that were quickly resolved
Our waitress Sable did a fabulous job at getting everyone served.”

“muy buen servicio y muy buena comida”

“My favourite place to eat in Peterborough. And best Vietnamese food I have ever had. Fresh tasty. Great customer service”

“we love this place it's awesome”

Pricey, yes, but much more reasonable with the many offers available in the app. A couple of years ago there were serious issues with long (up to 30+ mins) waits in the drive-thru, but that has been remedied and I rarely wait more than 5 - 10 mins on my recent visits over the last half year, or more. Service is very polite.”

“We love this location at 721 Ashburnham
It is beautiful since renovation. We come here almost daily for our afternoon tea and coffee
It is very clean here which is very important to us. Brian is always polite and friendly . Kim goes out of her way to keep this location looking good. She always says hello. All the staff here are super friendly and kind. We really enjoy going there almost daily......and I think the tall lady is Lisa but not sure. She is excellent at keeping the front moving well
But Kim and Brian are the best.”

“Nobody's perfect, mistakes do happen, and can happen everywhere. It's the way you can handle the situation is what really matters. Yes, a patty was missing from my big rosti, it happens.

“I had the best lunch today. I am not vegan, but I was travelling with someone who is, so we stopped for lunch. Not going to lie, I was skeptical as a non vegan, but I was shocked how wonderful my meal was. I got the Smokey Jackfruit Bowl. I wasn’t even sure what Jackfruit was, but omg if I didn’t live 4 hrs away I’d be back tomorrow to try the avocado toast, soft pretzel, the special tofu wrap and the mushroom Sammie. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back, without or without my vegan colleague. Thanks for opening my eyes today to something new and really delicious!”

“they got great burgers. and fries .”

“My aunt‘s favourite restaurant before she passed was Red Lobster. Our family decided to get together in her memory at one of our homes, and we asked Amir, manager of Peterborough Red Lobster if it was possible to have it catered. He enthusiastically jumped in, made suggestions. He actually organized the entire menu. 30 people gathered. The food arrived and it was magnificent. Such a variety. I am pretty sure it was almost everything from their menu and more!!! There was something for every guest to enjoy and they did. If anyone is thinking of hosting such an event, I would strongly recommend recommending contacting Amir and he had his kitchen crew will impress. Thank you, Amir and your staff.”

“We had dinner there tonight. hubby ordered the liver and onions and gravy. Best he's ever had all was delicious I ordered the chicken wrap with there homemade chicken soup. DELICIOUS! Will be a regular customer after finding this gem. Great friendly staff too. very pleasant !”

“Many flavors to explore—I’ve visited several times this summer and always enjoyed the experience! So far, my favorite flavor has to be the Blueberry Bliss. Highly recommend checking this place out!”

The food is amazing, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is always friendly and accommodating! The menu selection is superb and the soup, in our opinion, is worth the trip. In the rating system we would rate Berc’s at a 10++.”

“Porch & Pint is a definite winner! The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making for a great start to the meal.
​The steak sandwich was the absolute highlight—it was delicious and packed full of flavor. The steak was tender, perfectly seasoned, and every bite was satisfying.
​Highly recommend for both the exceptional service and the must-try steak sandwich!”

“Ice cream flavours are great! The ice cream is really high-quality. The service here was friendly and quick.
The portions are *very* generous - a Small is one very generous scoop. After a long hike, it was great, if you’re looking for a dessert-size portion, the Baby size is probably more appropriate.”

“We ordered some pizza’s through Skip the Dishes.. Skip the Dishes misrepresented the pizza I ordered, so needless to say I was disappointed when it arrived.. I called Papa’s Pizzaland and they said that Skip the Dishes had made a mistake.. I contacted Skip the Dishes and they gave us a credit.. 25 mins later we see someone pull into our driveway.. It was Papa’s Pizzaland delivering the pizza we originally wanted in a larger size for no charge..!! What amazing customer service.!! My recommendation, order directly through Papa’s Pizzaland and avoid the Skip the Dishes issues…”

“very tasty pizza and very good environment. love eating there.”

“Will drive out of my way. Been to many Tims...Love this this Tims...the service is amazing. Happy and polite at the counter and the drive-thru. They don't make you feel that you are just a customer. Keep up the great work.”

“I simply want to say that the staff that work at this Tim Horton location are absolutely amazing. They deal with so many eclectic human beings and they all do their very best each and every day. I have watched both the staff and the owners come and speak with individuals and help them when they can. The other day there was a lovely, timid, young woman in this store and both a man, who was very careful not to intrude and the owner (female) spoke to the young woman and helped her through a serious crisis (she was obviously physically abused). They sat with the young girl and at one point, I did hear part of the conversation where both the owner and the gentleman were brough to tears and I then followed. These individuals who work at this Tim Hortons care, work VERY hard and deal with A LOT each day. I ask that the patrons of this restaurant appreciate that and treat each member of this Tim Hortons team with the respect that they deserve. There are certainly times when persons have had to be asked to leave but welcome to our world and it is handled as best as it can be. Thank you for letting me share my experience Rhonda”

“I frequented their previous restaurant for years... Many dinners with many friends. We *all* followed to their new place. Good people, and much care to their product. It's the only sushi place I eat in PBO (I've have them all)”

“I recently used Tracey's That's A Wrap catering to provide food for 100 people at a surprise birthday party at The Peterborough Rugby Club building at Nicholls Oval.. I had rented the fully licensed clubhouse for the occasion ,and as it happens ,she is the sister of the part-time bar manager at the club ,Kait .This made things very easy to coordinate the occasion .EVERYONE wanted to know who did the food and complimented the quality ,variety and taste .As well as sumptuous wraps, there were fruit ,veggie and pickle trays ,as well as spring rolls ,and varied deserts . Tracey volunteered to help get things going for the first hour of a three hour party, and she left right at the end ! That was service way beyond expected.. She had some food left over and this was taken to facilities in town which she knew would use it .No waste !! I would certainly recommend Tracey for any future similar occasions and parties. She has to be the best in town !”

“Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is my kids wife and I love the beast burritos but they are so small even for my kids. The salsa needs to be sold in store lol it's that good. I wish they'd have an option for large burritos. Or a 6 pack at a decent price. Thanks to who made our food this morning”

“I always say I come to Eastside Mario's for the tomatoe soup ( which is amazing) , but now I say I come for the soup and Michael lol. This waiter goes above and beyond his job. Always friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. I give the restaurant 5 stars but I will give his service a million stars. You guys are very lucky to have him. He has a passion that you don't see much around these days. Keep up the wonderful attitude Michael, people are seeing you. Fantastic service as always.”

“i love this place and everything about it! but what i love most! is their bubble tea! brown sugar rush with extra boba 😝🙌🏽”

“We were presently surprised with the food and service here. We used to live a 5 minute walk from greek town the danforth in Toronto. Lived there for 43 years We were able to get authentic greek food when ever we wanted. Since moving up north 4 years ago we haven't been able to find good greek food that is until now. The food was fabulous just like the Danforth. Very friendly server and great portions at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place if your in the mood for some for some good greek food.”

“Best Pizza in Peterborough by far.. The crust tastes so good and I couldn't believe how cheap it was. Amazing Quality and very friendly staff”
