Tip: The sirloin and lobster tail meal for $25 is a great deal. After completing a bunch of errands on Saturday, I was ready for lunch. I was in the eastern end of Scarborough, close to Pickering. I first thought of having breakfast for lunch. I would only have 45 minutes to enjoy my food at the nearest breakfast joint. I felt like a steak. I did a search for Chuck's Roadhouse and this one in Pickering was close by. I drove over there, which took roughly nine minutes. It's located in a small plaza. I managed to find a parking spot fairly close to the entrance. I backed my car into the spot and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a friendly woman. She asked me whether I wanted to sit at the bar or the dining area. I went with the latter. I got a menu. I visit Chuck's regularly that I have my usual order. I got the following items: - Diet Coke - Sirloin and lobster tail meal with mashed potatoes and gravy I upgraded my fries. I got mashed potatoes with gravy instead. I asked for a medium doneness for my steak. I placed my order with Domnica, who was extremely attentive and friendly. I needed to use the washroom. I headed over there, dodging two male servers who were kind to get out of the way. My bladder needed attention after three hours of hydration. The women's washroom was clean. There were three stalls. The one that I used was clean. The lock didn't lock properly, but it was good enough to not let anyone in. I got back to my booth and my Diet Coke was on the table. It was cold, fizzy, and delicious. I ended up having a couple of refills during my time here. It was great that I had a huge screen with four different sports happening. I saw the Colorado Avalanche crush the Detroit Red Wings. The Winnipeg Jets pre-game show was on after a women's tennis match. I watched women's curling from Mississauga. There was Formula 1 racing that I had to ignore because any sport on an ice surface interests me a lot more these days. My server put bottles of Chuck's steak sauce and Heinz ketchup on my table. I didn't use any of them, but was glad that I had options. It didn't take long for my meal to arrive. It looked so good. I was so hungry that I went into devour mode. My steak was excellent. It was seasoned nicely and cooked as I liked it to be. So good! The lobster tail was succulent. The clarified butter was excellent with the lobster tail morsels. Frankly, I ended up dunking everything into the butter. My mashed potatoes were so comforting. I usually pour the gravy over the mashed potatoes. I did the reverse. It was enjoyable dunking mashed potatoes into the flavourful gravy. I also dunked sirloin cubs into the gravy. Yum! The corn was yummy. I'm so glad that it's no longer corn on the cob. It's so much easier shovelling kernels of yumminess into my mouth. My server asked if I wanted anything else. I was stuffed. I got the bill. I paid with a credit card. I held my phone to the payment machine after specifying a tip. Done! I stayed a bit longer to finish my Diet Coke while watching the Jets pre-game show. I then used the washroom before heading out. The scary part was walking into the washroom with three loud women speaking Vietnamese to one another. The oldest woman did not lock her stall properly, so I saw more than I had wanted. What I don't get is that these two woman walked the third woman over to the washroom. They stood in front of the sink. Shouldn't they have noticed that the door was wide open? They were loud talking to one another after this incident. Personally, I would have been mortified if someone had seen me partially naked in a public washroom. I came out of the stall to wash my hands. The two women were staring at me. I stared right back with my you-didn't-help-your-friend-and-I-need-therapy-now stare. They stopped looking at me. So weird. Other than seeing a half-naked woman, I had a great lunch here. (53) read more

Chuck's Roadhouse has been one of my family's favourite places for affordable AAA steaks, starting as low as $15. On this visit, my aunt and uncle both ordered the Top Sirloin & Lobster Tail ($25) and I had the Porterhouse ($29.99). The steak and lobster meals were good and they both enjoyed it but the kitchen missed the request for sweet potato fries on one order. My steak looked great but was cooked much closer to well done than my preferred medium rare. It was tough so I had to have it re-fired. The second one, unfortunately, was closer to blue, with the center being very rare. I ate most of it, not wanting to wait for any longer. Our server was really good, friendly and courteous. Unfortunately, I missed getting his name. read more

Overcooked burgers. Either re-train your cooks or hire new ones. These dried-out burgers just don't cut it. Fries, sweet fries, nachos and other sides were good. Other than that, the atmosphere and waiting staff were fast and friendly. Just address the overcooked meats issue and you'll be golden. read more

It's like inflation didn't even hit us at Chuck's Roadhouse. I could get a lobster tail and steak for only $25. It's delicious, especially that lobster tail with butter is just yum. A great value meal. The only reason it's not a complete 5-star is that the server messed up one of my friend's orders, and he had to wait until almost everyone was almost done to get his chicken and ribs. In the end, he got a coupon for $5 that's only valid for the Pickering location. We also ordered their Caesar salad, which was noted on their menu as what they are famous for and also a tempura shrimp to share. Thumbs up on my end. I noticed my friends who have been before would order their steak one notch rarer just in case they overcooked. I just stuck to my medium rare. From looking at everyone's steak platter, they got the cook right this time (no need to ask for rarer). We were returning from a ski trip, and a friend told me it was her tradition to head to Chuck's later. A few of these franchises were on our way home. Each Chuck's location was so packed that we had to hop to the next. This is my first exposure to this chain. They have several locations outside the city. But I'm impressed with the value and would gladly dine again. A lively atmosphere and is packed on a weekend evening that we were there. My friend mentioned it wasn't busy the other weekend she went so it might be luck. They did not take any dial-in reservations. You must go there in person to get added to the waitlist, which is a bummer. read more

Looking for some traditional bar food at an affordable price? Then you should definitely give Chuck's Roadhouse a try. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall full of restaurants along Kingston Rd in Pickering. The menu is pretty extensive and some great value options available. Main attractions here are their drink specials, half price appetizers after 9pm, $15 full rack of ribs on Wednesdays, $10 Domestic pitchers on Thursdays. Their steaks are the best value around. Where can you get a AAA 7 oz top sirloin steak for $13? Looking for surf n turf? No problem how about 7 oz Top sirloin and lobster tail for $25? Holy smokes what a deal! Enough of the deals you will see on the pics I posted. We came here for the half price apps after 9pm. We ordered the $6 Corona tall boy cans and the following appetizers: 1. Loaded cheese fries - crispy fries with mixed cheeses, green onions, bacon, ranch sauce and sour cream. $10.99 reg. $5.49 after 9pm. 2. Just Wings lightly dusted, deep fried and tossed in your choice of sauce bbq, medium , hot or honey garlic. 1lb $13.99 reg. $6.99 after 9pm. 3. Buffalo chicken quesadilla - breaded buffalo chicken, mixed cheeses, tomatoes and green onions in a grilled flour tortilla. Served with salsa and sour cream. $13.99 reg. $6.99 after 9pm. The portions were generous for the price you are paying. The fries were well dressed, would have like real bacon pieces instead of bacon bits but overall great app! The wings were kind of small and medium sauce lacked the kick. They were crispy even and cooked just right. The buffalo chicken quesadilla was surprisingly good. Lots of breaded chicken tomato and cheese. This is not your authentic Mexican quesadilla but for bar food very acceptable and great finger food. Overall great experience here. Great value especially after 9pm if you're looking for some late night snacks and a beer. Our bill came up to $36 before tip. This includes a 3% honest surcharge for the food you order. If you're looking for a great night out for drinks and apps head over to Chuck's after 9pm you won't be disappointed. Follow me at IG whenhungerstrikes17 read more

Our second time at Chuck's roadhouse but first time at this location. Pricing is very good and reasonable for the portion. It's definitely a lot less than what's being charged elsewhere such as moxies however do expect the food to take a longer time to come. The restaurant is pretty busy, we came on a Saturday around 5:30. Luckily we didn't have to wait long to get a table I guess it was because we were kinda early. We ordered two kids meal, a pasta and a burger it took about 45-50 mins before our food came. The wait time for the food was a bit ridiculous. So if you do have younger kids that can be a bit of an issue - just make sure you have something to keep them entertained while waiting. Overall, the food was great except for the butter parm pasta for the kid's meal which had no veggies or meat included just pasta - I didn't realize when placing the order so it was a bit disappointing and we won't be ordering that next time. All in all, the prices are decent will certainly be back again! read more

We love to go Chuck's on Kingston Rd for half-priced apps after 9pm. So worth it! Usually there's a line up but you leave your phone number and the wait is usually less than 30 mins. We went on a busy Friday. Our server was nice and checked in during the whole meal to see if we needed anything. We ordered wings, spinach dip, steak bites and tempura shrimp. All great apps, steak bites are so good, with or without the CRH sauce. read more

Service took forever, waiter wasn't too happy after I tiped 15% even though I was waiting for what felt like forever

This is a great spot for cheap eats after 9PM! Their apps become half-priced at that time which makes for a great deal. The food is good and the service is quick and friendly. They add a tiny fee to each bill which they say goes towards keeping their prices low - which I am totally okay with because when you look at their menu, the prices are actually pretty low. Especially with many restaurants raising prices due to inflation, this spot is a hidden gem. read more

Chuck's Roadhouse is a solid bar and pub where you get what you pay for. My friend suggested Chuck's for their affordable excellent deals on steak platters. It is a solid selection of steak to choose from, ranging from their $11 7 oz. Sirloin to the $25 Porterhouse Special. The one knock on this location is the slight inconsistency on their steak temperatures. If I ask for medium rare, mine would show up as medium well. If my friend asked for well-done, he would get medium-rare. The seasoning on the steak is good, but the temperatures do need to be remedied. The side dishes (i.e. Corn on the Cob, Fries, Mashed Potatoes) are solid options and if you want to create a soft and turf, you have an option of adding a lobster tail. Overall, it's a fun neighbourhood spot for affordable steak platters and good times with friends and family. I can't wait to visit again once dine-in options are available. read more

Chuck's Roadhouse Pickering - Sirloin Steak and Lobster Combo - Steakhouses Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

Went with the family and it was an absolute nightmare. Server was pleasant enough but looked and acted lost. First item to the table was chicken fingers and fries, 10 minutes later burger and fries, 5 minutes later onion rings and 10 minutes after that the rest of the families meals arrived. Order grilled chicken dinner which was supposed to consist of two chicken breasts (didn't happen got one small pigeon breast). Drink refills seemed to be a complicated process for the served. The ten CHUCKS BUCKS will be given to homeless person. read more

I had an early lunch today at Chuck's Roadhouse in Pickering. I've been to a few Chuck's and have had delicious meals. I sat on the dining room side. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and swapped the American cheese for mozzarella. It's amazing how low the prices are for what you get ... they are large meals and good quality. The burger was delicious. I'm not a big fan of fries but these were good, as was the gravy. I felt like something sweet so ordered an apple crumble. It was okay. "My eyes were bigger than my belly" and I probably would have been happy with the ice cream and whipped cream. Connor was my server. He was friendly and chatty and took good care of me. read more

Great steak and great prices. Nothing fancy but terrific meal. Definitely will be back.

Came in on a Thursday for the 50% off apps after 9pm. They made it very clear when we walked in that they were short of staff so even though they weren't full, we couldn't sit right away. We waited at the bar for around 30min and then waited another 30min for our food after ordering. We got the nachos and 2 pounds of wings. They're both great sizes and was enough for 2 people. Unfortunately they got one of our wing sauces wrong but they provided the correct order really quickly and didn't charge for it. Our server wasn't around much because of their short staff. The half off is a really great deal but I would only recommend this location if you have a lot of time to spare waiting. read more

You get what you paid for. Steak and lobster for less than $30. I got more fatty pieces in my meat and I gave the lobster tail to my wife so I ended up short. At lunch you can only pick fries or mashed as baked potatoes take longer to make I guess. We will be back but probably just for steak. read more

We went here on a Saturday night for dinner. It was busy but not super busy but we still waited about 20 minutes for a table. The server was nice giving us the menus and asking us what we wanted to drink. I ordered the 16oz rib steak (cooked medium) with fries. The girlfriend ordered a quesadilla and French onion soup. She thought the soup tasted real good but the quesadilla only so-so. My steak looked good on the plate but didn't taste that good. It was a bit bland. It wasn't seasoned at all. Definitely needed salt. I went here after a co-worker said he had eaten here and had good food. I think if I ever come here again I'd get a burger. Overall the place isn't bad. I've had worse.... read more

Good value for the surf and turf dish. Nothing spectacular about it, but decent steak and good value meal in the area. read more

Chuck's Roadhouse Pickering - Surf and turf - Steakhouses Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

Waitress was super nice and did her best trying to attend all the tables on the right half of the restaurant. Eventually, I was able to order an app and drink. Got the pan garlic bread. It was soft and enjoyable. I ordered a cosmo, which was also pretty good, and right amount of liquor. For the main, I got the peppercorn steak with mashed potatoes and veggies. The potatoes tasted like the dry mix mashed potatoes from Lipton. The steak had goat cheese on the top that I was not expecting and did not enjoy. It also was not cooked to the temperature I ordered it at. Overall, it wasn't a good experience. Not sure if it was just a one off. read more

Service slow, manager's ability to manage just not there. Food poorer quality over time, chicken like tofu, steak, chewy not edible for both. Glass windows are dirty smudged and finger prints. Wine glass old lipstick stained. read more

There was a buzz when Chuck's in Pickering first opened as it revolves around affordable steaks, beer and everything else pretty much. There was a wait of 25 minutes because there were many large parties on the 30th of December. We got a pager that reaches to the end of the parking lot. When we finally got a table, the waitress who didn't even mention her name took 15 minutes to get to us. Okay, cool. When the waitress finally took our drink order we decided to share a pitcher of 54oz. We were surprised by the amount of the pitcher had because there was so much room left to be filled. We asked to top it up and she declined because that is 54oz. Okay, whatever. We all ordered 10oz NY Cut Steaks with fries and my brother-in-law got the "all-you-can-eat" salad for an extra $5. Again, disappointing. The waitress didn't inform us that the restaurant had no croutons and she was not apologetic about it at all. You would think that with poor service like this would lead us to not giving her any tip but it's almost 2019 and we should ring in the new year right. The steak was dry and there was no seasoning but what can you expect for cheap steak. I would come here again just for the cheap drinks. read more

Had a great time and had awesome service. Our server kurpal went over and beyond. Definitely recommend

I haven't had a sit down meal in a while and so we decided to try chuck's roadhouse in Pickering. I've heard so many good things about this place and so I was ready to give it a try and they did not disappoint! The staff are very friendly, possibly the best service I've had in a long time!! They were also very accommodating with substitutions! The burger itself was amazing!!! The sauce has quite a unique taste to it & it doesn't compare to other bbq sauces. Overall highly recommend this place! read more

"BAD SERVICE" for the first time already. our waitress took so long to serve us after the drinks, because she had to serve a big table didn't remember the small table ppl. Only came to check us for once and very hard to find her again. At the end I gave her the coupon n never discounted it for me, came home n realize it n called back. She still thinks she was right. FYI 3% tips is add on the bill, if it was a great service I would give her at least $20 or more for tips. I was not happy at all. but the owner was nice I guess. Food- not bad for the price. Would I go back again probably not, when u out u want everything to go good for u n be enjoyable. The price I paid I could get it better somewhere else. read more

Food was good. But the issue was the service. We had a friend's bday celebration at your Pickering location last Wednesday (July 26th), around 9:30pm. Our server (long curly haired female server) while we are in the process of ordering our food, gave us a rude remark "Wow! That is way too much food!" not sure why she said that tho?! Is it an insult that we don't have money to pay for our food? That is such an unusual remarks to give to a paying costumer in a restaurant! She further added, "You guys are not allowed to bring home your left over food" This part really bothers me! We cannot bring home food that we paid for? I don't think so! At the end of the night when we billed out, she hesitantly gave us out containers for our left overs, clearly, she just have to ruin our night by giving us her unsolicited speech at the beginning. She actually ruined our supposed to be a celebration night. This is not the first time we had an incident with servers in this location. Maybe the management should consider re training their staff about customer courtesy. We decided not to come back to this location again, just to avoid any further frustrations! Ambiance was a ok, at least! read more

The first time I came here with friends we fell in love with their food! This time I went back and brought my boyfriend and best friend and they also really enjoyed it! We totally recommend this place!! read more

It's a very nice place. The price for the food is amazing ... but there is always a compromise if you're getting a steak for $17. The actual quality of the food was honestly subpar. I got a New York strip, and it was cooked well. However, it tasted like water and beef juice. The fries were fine. The service and the ambiance was pretty good. There's a lot of tvs and the staff were very attentive. read more

So this was our first time and we there were four of us, we each ordered appetizers, drinks and main course Apps were deep fried and completely forgettable but the interesting part was the main course, I ordered bacon wrap tenderloin and it looked good until I tasted it, it was rotten! One bite and I realized that it was very bad and when I smelled it, it was like getting slapped inside the nostrils Stupidly I ordered the salmon as a main and it was bland and overcooked so I had regrets all around It was funny how they made a big deal that they removed the rotten meat from the bill but still charged me for the salmon, not even a piece of freaking cake or free appie The food wasn't rottten was bland and expensive read more

This is the new place (same owners) where Crabby Joe's used to be. They have remodeled inside and opened up the space, removed the bar, and now they are a steak house. Chuck's is an affordable steak house, so don't expect to find prime steaks in huge expensive cuts. This place serves mostly smaller, thinner steaks at a budget price. Standard sides are fries (small serving) and a small grilled corn on the cob, and there is no bread served. If you want mashed or baked potato, that is an extra charge. Most of the steaks are in the $14-$20 range so it is an affordable meal. My steak was properly cooked to medium rare despite being very thin and was quite tasty. If you want a steak without the frills, try out Chucks's Roadhouse. I will go back again. read more

Went there on a Friday night as our regular pub was closed due to a water main break. Could not sit at the bar as it was full so took a seat at a table close by. Bartender took our drink order and got it to us, asked if wanted menus and left them. Never returned for at least 30 minutes. Got our check and left. Your drink prices may be great but your service sucks! Will not be returning! read more

Have been a few times now and have never been disappointed. Service and food is good. Had the French Onion Soup for the first time tonight and it was good. My husband and I ordered the wings and ribs and the Roast beef dip sandwich and shared them. The wing were good. The ribs were really good, and the Roast Beef dip was really flavourful my only complaint was that the bun of the sandwich was way to soft and made it really difficult to dip it. The roast beef kept falling out. Will for sure go back again and would recommend Chucks to my friends. read more

Our first visit was terrific! Proper protocols were in place, staff were properly fully masked. Our server, Arjun, was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, he actually added to the whole experience. The food was delicious, plentiful, and the mains arrived at our table piping hot. Loved the dessert as well. For the price point, we were pleasantly surprised. We will most definitely return! read more

The beer was cheap and not flat! I cant say that for half the pubs I frequent, so good on that note. As for the service and food. We got a table relatively quick at 5pm, but it took about 20 minutes for them to bring a child booster seat. We ordered steak and a roast beef sandwich, and the kids had the chicken strips and burger. The food took a good amount of time to arrive, and once it did I would say only the steak was decent. The roast beef sandwich was supper dry and the fries were over done. My child ate the chicken strips, even though they looked dry, because he had plenty of ketchup and plum sauce. My other child took a bite of the burger and refused to eat it. I tasted it myself and it was dry and burnt. Not a good combination for picky kids. We mentioned it to the waitress at the end of the meal, as she was not around much during the meal, and since we did eat the food (because I couldnt waste it) we did not ask for it to be removed from the bill. We did get a $5 voucher from the manger on the way out but I dont think we will be back again unless I am going for drinks and nachos (I saw someone else order it and it looked good!). Note: they add a 3% on the end of the bill "honest to goodness fee" which I did not notice until I read it in another review. not cool. read more

Sadly I have to give it a 1 star at least. Long story short, after having to find a waiter to be seated and after waiting 30 min to be given a menu we finally got our food. It tasted ok, but I got so sick from their steak and lobster that I lost 10 lbs in 3 days. I was unable to eat or drink and I'm sure you know the rest. I do not want anyone to have to experience so im writing this review to give everyone a heads up, this was the sickest I have been in my entire life. The price was cheap, the food wa son, the wait time was horrendous, and the food made me think I was dieing the next day. Worst part of it all was when my girlfriend emailed them the next day they didn't get back to us until the following week and they didn't believe me and my hospital letter, they wanted me to go back again and prove it was from their food. How am I suppose to do this the following week after I'm not sick anymore? read more
