There were 2 basic tables and 2 friendly staff greeted us. Since it was our first time there, we wanted to try their original fried chicken. The combos here were very well priced considering the cost of everything nowadays, and we scored this 4 pc meal for something like $12ish. The chicken was decent, but a bit too oily for my taste and I didn't love seeing all the dark veins close to the bone when I bit into the drum. The Cajun fries was addictive but we didn't give their biscuit as it was more doughy than flaky. Overall, a decent option for fried chicken if you're in the area.

It's always delicious and the prices are always reasonable.

There is no dine in and no need because the take out portions are plenty and the branding of the restaurant gives it that not too bougie but low key bang for your buck deal! I am so surprised this place does not have more reviews, the sincerity and joy of their service you'd think they are tryna hide something assuming it has to do with the food but its just a bonus cause the food just slaps!

If you're a fan of old school KFC chicken, to me this is really really similar.

I've never been fans of KFC fries especially when back in the day they used off the shelf McCains fries. Only issue with this place is there is minimal seating. No tables and only one rail along the window, so this place is mostly a take-out.

If the staff are being honest, they will let you know when they had to use the halal fryer for non zabiha meat "bc it was busy" and they needed to use it for overflow. Anyways, I liked it.

Tip: Collect Scene+ points at Harvey's…read more Last Saturday, I wanted to grab some dinner. I was in Pickering and did a search. I found this Harvey's restaurant close by. I pulled out my Harvey's app and found an angus burger combo for $9.99 before taxes. Perfect! I ordered these items: - Angus burger - Onion rings - Large Diet Pepsi - Apple pie I got an estimated time that my order would be ready to pick up. I took my time getting to this restaurant. This eatery looked fairly new. It's located in a small plaza with a lot of construction. There was a danger sign warning folks about open excavation. It was not your typical sign! I hit the drive-thru. When I got to the order area, I indicated that I had an order and rattled off my name. The woman found my order and said that I could drive up to the window. There was one vehicle ahead of me. When I got to the window, a friendly woman who talked quickly said hi. She grabbed my drink and paper bag with my food. She wished me a great day. I reciprocated and drove away slowly. I ended up parking briefly to put my food in an insulated bag. I then drove home. I had dinner once I was home. This meal was perfect. I loved my angus burger. It was flavourful and juicy. I liked customizing my toppings. Garlic mayo is a must. I customized mine with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and relish. I was happy. My onion rings were so good. They were crispy and the onions were naturally sweet. I upgraded my drink to a large Diet Pepsi. I needed it to wash everything down, including my crispy apple pie. The filling was so good. The drink was crispy, cold, and perfect. Ordering through the Harvey's app does have its advantages. My Scene+ card is a part of my profile, so I'm always collecting points when I made a purchase. I also had a gift card as part of my payment method. I used it to pay for my meal, which felt like I had won the jackpot. I had an excellent experience at this Harvey's. I'd return for more good eats and drinks when I'm in the area again. (171)

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.
