Good taste, but Small portion and pricy…read more Ordered a large jerk chicken dinner. Have about 6 pieces of chicken leg for the order. Assemble the pieces back together, is is about 1 large size chicken leg. The rice and cole slaw portion is disappointingly Small for a large order. Now that I finish with the negatives.... The food taste is good, it is flavorful yet not over saturated with salt. To be honest, I personally like the flavor here more then Chris Jerk (but Chris has much bigger portion). I think being Caribbean food, I wouldn't mind if the spice level is a bit more intense. Maybe the spiciness is toned down for the market, as the store location is in a predominantly Asian populated building complex. Yes there are some very spicy food in different part of Asia, but the flavor of spice is different and accepted differently.

I ordered the Jerk chicken poutine, which, in addition to smelling amazing, took me back to my youth with the Jerk sauce on the fries. I like that they don't ask for a tip on their machine. I only wish I had asked for the fries with only the jerk chicken gravy and jerk chicken but with none of the other stuff. Given the price for the poutine, the size left me happy and full, which paired with the festival made for an all-around great meal...

Amazingly, this place has been in Pickering since the mid-1960's, longer than I've been in…read morePickering, or even alive for that matter! For ages, we passed by Big M, noting its classic retro vibe and steady flow of customers. For years, we brushed off the recommendations of Pickering friends, but now, we have finally decided to stop by for a burger. There is outdoor seating only, so in the winter, Big M is a take-out only restaurant. Nevertheless, it was doing a brisk business at 6:00 on a Saturday. We each ordered Banquet Burgers (cheese and bacon). My husband and daughter ordered fries; I went for onion rings. They also each ordered a milkshake. Our opinion was united in that the burgers, shakes, fries and onion rings were exactly what the traditional, retro décor would lead us to expect. You'll not find surprising toppings or artisanal brioche buns at Big M, nor will you encounter the trending smash-burger. Rather, Big M succeeds because it delivers a fantastic version of the sort of burger that your Dad or Grandpa might have grilled up, or the burgers from that retro diner that you parents may or may not have dropped by on their way to the cottage that your family may or may not have visited or owned. Even if these weren't part of your childhood experiences, Big M serves up great traditional fare. Our burgers were made to order as we watched, and had a pleasantly browned and smoky finish, flame-licked by the grill, fresh, tasty toppings. The burger patty itself was neither thick nor thin, but classic 1/2 inch or so. The toasted Kaiser roll stayed crispy, and survived the trip home without getting soggy. The onion rings were the old fashioned, somewhat ponderous kind, as opposed to a lighter tempura style batter, and I relied on my husband to finish eating them on my behalf. But that substantial batter was exactly the right choice to pair with a traditional burger. The shakes were also traditional milk shakes, as opposed to, simply, "shakes", which may or may not contain actual milk or ice cream. The take-away: Big M is what it appears to be, a classic diner offering simple, diner-style fare. As such, it delivers a satisfying meal that more than meets the expectations: words like retro, traditional and home-style spring to mind. If you are in search of a trending, cheffy and possibly pricy experience (and I do tend to flock to those, when budget permits!), then Big M is probably not for you. However, for well-executed, basic, down to earth cooking, Big M serves up an excellent retro experience at a reasonable price. I'll be back to try the Whistle Dog (cheese and bacon) and the Canadian burger (Cheese and Peameal), plus another order of those indulgent onion rings.

The best burger I've had in the GTA!!…read more It was amazing. The bun wasn't soggy, all of the ingredients were high quality and well made. The sides are also really good. I've tried the onion rings, poutine and fries and they're all GREAT. Although make sure you hydrate because I did feel the effects of having a salty lunch afterwards The diner calls themselves a "drive-in" but it's more of an outdoor diner/to-go place. Most of the seating is outdoors and picnic table style. The service was wondering. Everyone is really nice and you feel welcome going here.

You don't know what to do - do we sit? Wait? So we went and sat. We were then informed that we had to go around the corner to place our order and then take a seat and wait. They then bring the food to you. Curry Goat: just OK. A bit on the dry stringy side. Flavour was mediocre. Not a robust curry. Stew beef: Beef a bit dry. Flavour has a bit too much tomato flavour. Not the best. King Fish - This was good. The fish was well seasoned and flaky. The rice served with the meals was of poor quality. The Rice and peas was a bit flat and could have more seasoning.

The tacos were packed to the brim but I still think $11.99 for 3 is pricey. $11.99 for 4 makes way more sense and is way better true value in my honest opinion. Also, Idk if they intentionally just use flour for the soft tortillas but they should provide an option for corn tortillas. Each taco down south also typically has two tortilla shells so that the toppings don't fall out and give the tacos more structural integrity. I think because they stack a nice amount of meat in each taco, doubling up on the tortilla shell would actually be a good idea (I found my taco fillings falling out every time I tried to take a bite). Cashier who helped me was friendly. Would return! Maybe I'll try a burrito or burger next time.
