“I visited Mary Brown’s today (July 15th) around 6:30 PM. The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and fresh. The person working as the cook did an amazing job. He is clearly hardworking, smart, and always maintains high standards. I visit this location frequently, and every time he’s working, the food and service are consistently excellent. I’m always satisfied with his work and truly appreciate the effort he puts in. He definitely deserves recognition!”
“We made it back to extreme burrito after a busy 3 months. We wanted something that was healthy and great tasting and they didn’t disappoint. The people are so friendly and the place is very clean. The food is so fresh and tastes great. And the lunch specials are a really good price. They have the specials on 7 days a week and for 4 hours each day. It is definitely a wonderful place for a meal whether it be lunch or dinner. I would give this place a 5 out of 5”

“We have gone to Amicis since its opening and have nothing but great things to say about it! Just wanted to share our recent experience with my daughter's wedding dinner. We had 60 people, a 5 course delicious meal, table service for drinks and everything was amazing!! Hot food beautifully presented, cold drinks, the friendliest staff who were so attentive that many of our guests commented and thanked them! We were thrilled with Ada who managed all of our requests, and was there to oversee and assist the top notch servers on our special day! Such a positive experience!! Can not say enough good things about it!!”

“Worth the wait. Mostly because 9 times out of 10 there is only 1 person working and they are swamped with orders. Shout out to the young man working this evening (May 16 closing shift). He kept his composure during a rush and the hot dogs still turned out great. All the staff members I've been serviced by have always been so friendly. I will come back every time I visit this mall”

“I recently had a fantastic experience at this Subway location. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a very friendly staff member who took my order quickly and with a smile. The restaurant itself was immaculately clean, from the dining area to the food prep station, which is always reassuring. The service was impressively fast—my custom-made sub was ready in no time, and it was perfectly constructed with fresh ingredients. This spot truly excels in combining great food, speed, and exceptional customer service, making it one of the best Subway visits I've had.”
“There are 2 employers, by the name of Harsh and Preeyug, they have an excellent customer service skills, I've always wanted to order my salad from them every day for work lunch hours. They were always precise with their work, they handled the food well, I wish there was more than 5 stars to rate them.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here for a birthday celebration, and I must give a special shoutout to Mellanni, our server. From start to finish, she made the evening incredibly memorable.
Mellanni was not only attentive but also genuinely engaged with our group, ensuring that we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Her personal recommendations were spot on; she knew the menu inside and out and helped us pick dishes that perfectly matched our tastes. Each suggestion turned into a delightful culinary experience.
Her friendly demeanor and professionalism added a warm touch to our celebration, making everyone feel welcomed and special. It’s rare to find a server who combines expertise with a personal touch so seamlessly.
Overall, I highly recommend requesting Mellanni if you visit. Her exceptional service truly enhanced our birthday dinner, and I look forward to returning to enjoy another meal with her guidance!”

The dishes were fresh, well-seasoned, and served hot. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for tasty Afghan cuisine and a cozy atmosphere!”
“Big M Drive-In in Pickering is a great place! Tried it for the first time, and the food quantity and quality were awesome. It’s so clean, the food’s tasty, and the employees are super friendly. I got the grilled chicken on a Kaiser bun with onion rings. The onion rings were big and thick, though I probably wouldn’t get them next time. But I’ll definitely be back for the grilled chicken burger!”

“orderd daily special on line. got charged regular price. I ask them why I was charged more. they said daily special not available on line order. there was no disclosure on line or in the store. they refused to do anything for me. I told them this will be the last time I give them business. also, they mess up one of my order. they give me wrong salad.”
“Went to Wow Wing for their all-you-can-eat wings ($23.99) and it was worth it! Halal wings, free parking, and some of the flavors were absolutely fantastic. I managed 35 wings (was aiming for 50 😅) but since I went a bit late and the waiting time between rounds was long, I had to cap it there.
One thing I noticed was that the waitress herself had to serve the entire restaurant, which didn’t make much sense and probably added to the waiting time. Personally, I didn’t enjoy the Cajun flavors, but everything else hit the spot. Overall, a solid choice if you want a wing night with variety.”
“New to the area and this has become my go to place for a coffee and breakfast sandwich. The staff are always friendly and the restaurant is very clean. I appreciated the extra service today when I was asked if I wanted a refill on my iced coffee! Thank you! :)”
“Now our go-to fried chicken restaurant that replaces the nearby Popeye Chicken. Spices are flavourful, and the chicken tastes and feel much healthier than KFC and Popeye. Wedge fries are also delicious. A little pricy, but when you consider the quality of the food, it’s actually not too bad. Comfortable and spacious dining area if you choose to dine in.”

“I had a great time dining in at BarBurrito! The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients, and the flavors were spot on. The service was quick, and the staff made me feel welcome. I'll definitely be back! As someone from the USA, I was impressed by the variety of options at BarBurrito – even more choices than Chipotle!”
“It's a really nice place. The atmosphere is chill and the food is hot. We had a couple of tofu dishes and got the vegetable salad which was delicious. Everything was scrumptious. The veggies were nicely done, tender and firm, and the tofu had the perfect crisp to it.”

“I came into the Popeyes Pickering location on Tuesday August 12th around 2pm.

It was a nice refreshing change these days and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated it, It is rare to get good customer service these days so when I do I want to share it. Thank you”

“I recently visited Kandahar Kabab in Pickering, drawn by its reputation for flavorful Afghan cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of grilled meats, rice platters, and traditional sides, with standout items like the Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chapli Kabab, and Lamb Shank. The portions were generous, and the meat was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mango Lassi was a refreshing complement to the meal. However, the experience was a bit inconsistent. While some staff were friendly and attentive, others seemed overwhelmed, especially during busy hours. Wait times for food can be long—even when the restaurant isn’t crowded. Huma was the best! always smiling and ready to serve customers. The ambiance is casual, leaning more toward a takeout vibe than a dine-in destination. Prices are on the higher side for the portion sizes, but the flavor and authenticity of the dishes can make it worthwhile”

The staff did a good job serving the food and picking up dishes from the tables. Affys was kind enough to donate a $50 gift card for our raffle. We look forward to having more events at Affys.”

“Came to Gyumono. The atmosphere was great and service was top notch. From entering Andy was very attentive and made sure we felt welcome. My mom had a walker and he took care of it by putting it out of the way, and when she needed it brought it for her. The food was really good too and I definitely ate a lot. The only thing I would say is that the beef tongue was a little to small and cut super thin. Usually beef tongue is my favorite but for here it's not bad. The other cuts of meat on the menu were all really good and it was my birthday and the staff sang happy birthday too. A great way to end the meal. Would definitely come again.”
“Amazing service, delicious food. Very homely vibes, hot rotis, theplas, bajra roti n puris, puran poli as well. Hard to find such different variety at restaurants.
Most of the restauranys serve the regular menu - paneer, dal makhani and malai kofta, but Govardhan serves a different menu. Worth a try.”
“Alice was professional and the food and service was excellent. Lovely clam chowder soup. Lady, young girl escorting us to to our seat. had a friendly attitude and her eyes showed her enjoyment of her job.”
