The burger was definitely one of the best I've ever had! Strongly recommend this burger spot and specifically this location”
“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!!”

“We hosted a surprise birthday party for 30 people at Mansion and it was an absolutely perfect experience! Making arrangements for the reservation and food was a pleasure and my requests were happily accommodated - I really appreciated their flexibility (e.g. allowing us to bring in our own birthday cake!). The decor and ambience were elegant yet cozy and the service was very pleasant and professional - I was proud to host our family and friends in this beautiful and classy restaurant! The food was beautiful and artistically presented - we couldn't get over the amazing fruit and veggie platters and even the nachos had cheerful coloured chips! The enclosed patio space was perfect for our size of group. We are so grateful we chose Mansion for our party and would highly recommend it!”

“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Food time Pickering they did our 30 people catering was very very nice every body enjoy the food out 10 lgive food time Pickering 10”

“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!”

He patiently answered my questions about the flavors and helped me decide on something new to try. It's clear he cares about giving customers a positive experience. I'll definitely be back again – thanks for the great service, Tristan!”

“I had an incredible experience at Dal Roti in Pickering. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic, vibrant flavors that instantly reminded me of India. Each dish was perfectly seasoned, full of depth and warmth, just like home-cooked meals. A special thanks to Chef Arvind, whose skill and passion for cooking are evident in every bite. Not only is he an incredibly talented chef, but he’s also very humble and welcoming. If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Pickering, Dal Roti is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of Chef Arvind’s amazing creations!”
“Amazing experience, the staff is friendly! I strongly suggest anyone to go there!”
“The Owl of Minerva is a great addition to the pickering food scene and to the greater Durham Region. The menu is fantastic and diverse and the staff are friendly and warm.”

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”

“We hosted our Eid party at Affys and had a great time. Everyone loved the delicious food and wonderful buffet service. 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.”

“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.”
