We enjoy coming here for their comfy seating, cute decor, and family friendly atmosphere. They really did a fabulous job with making the atmosphere playful and fun. Instead of my usual order of Mario's Chicken Parmigiana, I opted for a pasta dish which I didn't regret at all. It was served along with the All-You-Can-Eat Soup, Salad, and Garlic Bread. My family agrees that this location is the best in terms of food quality, delicious taste, and friendliness of all the staff working here. We were lucky enough to have many servers tending to our table, along with other tables. Although it was a very busy night, the staff's teamwork was phenomenal. Stouffville East Side Mario's is an excellent place for a family dinner!

This was my first visit back to an East Side Mario in over 10 years. I was hoping it would have…read morebeen than what I remembered because I really wanted to give the brand another try. We started off with the garlic bread. I was a bit confused by the the fact that for 4 people, they only brought 2 small garlic breads, which by the way is "All You Can Eat" when purchasing entrees. Next we ordered the spinach dip. It was pretty good, not heavy in any way, the flavors were there for a decent spinach dip. The best part was the pull away bread for dipping which was served warm. When purchasing entrees there is a choice of three "All You Can Eat" items to choose from / soup, salad and garlic breadsticks, but you can only get 2 orders at a time. I opted for Caesar salad, but they were out of romaine lettuce at 5:30 pm on a Saturday evening. I decided on the garden salad. Not really impressed by this or the way the salad was served. The tomatoes did not appear to be fresh and the iceberg lettuce was cut into very large pieces and placed in a bowl that was clearly too small. On to the mains. Hubby ordered the build your own pasta with Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken added - he wasn't overly happy as he felt that the taste of Alfredo sauce was just not there. Kids ordered off the kids menu - can't mess that up, but the pasta was dry and lacking in Alfredo sauce leaving it dry - so yess, they messed up. I decided to go for the Mario's 3 Course Feast! Mario's Mangia Sampler - this was a really big disappointment - the chicken parm was cold and hard. The lasagna was flat on the plate. I pointed to the plate and asked the person that brought out the food if what I was pouting at was the lasagna. Her response was a yeah dripping with sarcasm. The Fettuccine Alfredo was very dry and hardly had any sauce. Our server came to our table to ask how everything was and I pointed out the 2 pasta dishes and cold chicken parm on my plate. She quickly took both pastas leaving me with the chicken parm " so I had something to eat" is what she explained. Saying that no, that the lasagna should not look that way and would have that and the fettuccine alfredo redone. I sat there eating cold chicken parm while I waited. By the time the 2 pasta dishes were brought back out, I had pretty much lost any anticipation or desire over the meal. The lasagna was all cheese and sauce and barely any noodles. Not sure I will go back, but happy to have at least given it another try after so many years and realizing that it was not going to change for the better. At least I tried!

This was another new find for 2024 which left me craving more and wanting to go back. It didn't take much convincing for hubby to get takeout for the fam. We kept it simple and all ordered cheeseburgers with just bacon, sides of fries and onion rings. This burger really hit the spot! Nice size patty, seasoned so well. The bacon was crispy and they do not hold back on the pieces in your burger. The Yukon gold fries are fresh made and not frozen. I LOVE the onion rings, it's a generous portion of crispy rings! Burger sizes are single 1/4 lb, double 1/2 lb, triple 3/4 lb, pounder 1lb. Choose from Swiss, Cheddar, Bleu, Feta & Smoked Cheddar cheese. You can also add on sautéed onions, sautéed mushrooms and more. There is the "Z"Fam menu selections and the Chef's Selections if you prefer to not build your own burger. Top off your meal with Oreo Stuffed Churros or a classic milkshake. Zeal Burger, please open a Markham location!

We got the single burger ($6.00 toppings are extra) double burger ($9.25 toppings are extra), mushroom melt ($9.25) the Classic Z ($13.25) and O.Z. (for $11.50 the burger that started everything). We came on a Saturday around 530pm to the Stouffville location and they were busy. Friday and Saturday nights are their busiest. We waited about 40min for our food. Overall, the burgers tasted okay. The food wasn't hot enough. They were just a little more than warm. It was quite disappointing because these are fresh burgers and unfortunately it didn't taste that way. The fries and onion rings were decent. Good customer service.

Only one staff member was working during my visit, and there was a mix-up with my order. Luckily, I was still in the parking lot when another customer came out to let me know, so I was able to get it sorted. For the meal, I picked beef brisket (you get 3oz of meat and can also choose sausage, turkey, chicken wings, or nuggets) and a side. I chose mashed potatoes. They weigh the meat before reheating it. Next time, I'd ask for the BBQ sauce on the side since it was a bit too drenched, and while it had good flavor, the brisket felt dry in parts and not quite as tender as I hoped. The mashed potatoes had bits of skin, which gave a nice texture, but they really needed gravy to round them out (additional cost for 1.99). The bread roll stood out. It was very soft, fresh, and worked great for turning the brisket into a mini sandwich. For the drink, I went with a soft drink instead of the "lil yellow cup" option. The portion was small, but it is after all advertised as a kid's meal and less of a commitment compared to all their other menu items. It's a good choice if you want a lighter meal or just want to sample the BBQ. They also offer daily deals, which change throughout the week and is only available for a limited time (it is not mentioned how long this is for): Monday: Brisket Mac & Cheese $12.99 Tuesday: BOGO 50% any Sandwich Wednesday: 10% off Wings Thursday: Brisket Poutine $12.99 Friday: 15% off Westerner or Pit Dip Sandwich Saturday/Sunday: Kids' Meals for $7.99 I'm interested in trying other menu items and their daily specials. I'm just hoping the brisket is more tender/juicy next time!

I don't normally sit down to eat at a Swiss Chalet restaurant but heard positive reviews from…read moreothers about the dine-in experience so I decided to give it a try even though I do not live in Stouffville. I came on a weeknight and the place was busy (albeit not all the tables were filled). We were quickly seated but after that, the rest of the experience was very slow. It took approximately 1.5 hours to order, eat, and get the bill. On a positive note, it was nice eating the food fresh and I was able to use a coupon that is normally for take-out only. I enjoyed eating the fresh garlic bread appetizer. The chicken was good but the fries were not freshly made. I had the Apple Pie dessert with ice-cream on top, it was probably the best option for the dessert menu and one of the more expensive options. You get a cup with lemon + water at the end to clean your hands. I would not recommend the chicken spring rolls.

I find the eggs always runny, and the home fries way over cooked. I feel like they definitely need to up their game as this place is slowly becoming not my favourite places to go for breakfast. 5/10 recommend!

We did try take out 1-2 times from here, but nothing comes close to dining in at the location. I'm not a take-out breakfast kind of person (unless it's a breakfast sammie!). I love nothing better than a Sunday family breakfast at home and I go all out with homemade pancakes, omelettes, bacon, homemade french toast etc. HOWEVER, this mama needed a cooking break and all four of us agreed that we needed a Sunset Grill fix! It wasn't busy at all when we arrived, maybe 3-4 tables filled. They still had the far left section of the restaurant closed off. It wasn't a big problem for us, but they do have a table for 6 there which does seat more comfortably for a family of 4 when we are ordering multiple drinks and having enough room to enjoy our meals. I ordered my usual: Eggs Sunset with poached eggs. I did have to send my plate back on this visit because I had asked for my poached to be a bit medium where they are runny on the inside but a little less on the outside. They were WAY too runny for me. 2nd plate came back and it was exactly what I had asked for! I love their fresh cut home fries! Had a nice hot cup of coffee with my breakfast. My kids both ordered: Three eggs scrambled with home fries and bacon. Huge generous portions compared to a couple of other local breakfast spots (which is why this one is our fav!). Hubby ordered a western omelette - nice large generous portion with a side of bacon. The service did fall a bit short on the visit where we had to reach out for water refills, napkins and coffee to be topped up. Overall the food is still consistently good and we will be back!

The floors were also very sticky and overall just felt very dirty inside. The cashier was good but they are definitely understaffed which lead to long wait times for our food. Once our food was ready, we decided to sit outside rather than inside since there were so many flies flying around that just kept landing on everything. The food itself is good and what I remember A&W to be. Teen burger and pickle burger with onion rings and poutine. The onion rings are great and super crispy, just the way I liked it. Teen burger was good and a fresh tasting burger. I'd say overall I think they need to be a lot cleaner for their restaurant and do something about their fly infestation. Probably need to hire more people so that wait times aren't so long as well.

We ordered within 3-4 minutes and our meal was ready in 5 minutes. Cost less than half of the cost of usual breakfast places.

I found this Wild Wing a couple of blocks away from where I was in the eastern part of Markham. I checked out the menu and there were some BOGO offers. I said yes. I typically have wings at this franchise. I love wings. I mean LOVE. Sadly, there were no BOGO wing deals. I do have a weakness for hot dogs and there was a deal on them, so I went for it. I like that I didn't have to get fries as my side. There were many sides to choose from. I got a side salad for both hot dogs. I was so happy. The menu also had slices of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Yes, please! I nabbed one. My food was ready in fifteen minutes. I took my time heading over to Wild Wings. It's in the same plaza as a Royal Bank with a drive-thru and a Hakka eatery that made me drink tons of water afterwards because the food was so salty. I backed into a parking spot and headed inside. It was clean and fairly quiet at around 6 pm. A woman came out to help me. I indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. She let me know that it was being packed up in the kitchen. Cool! I waited by the bar. Another woman came out with a paper bag with my food in it. I thanked her and headed out the door to my car. I drove home and ate my food. The hot dog was delicious. The bun was soft. The hot dog was huge and grilled. I didn't get any condiments because I had plenty at home. I love relish and ketchup, so they went on. I loved it. The side salad was yummy. The place mixes the dressing (I got Italian), so it is better to eat your salad as soon as you can. The ingredients, from the cubed cucumber to romaine lettuce, were crisp and fresh. Yum! My cheesecake was also delicious. I don't think the slice is worth $9.99, but I had a craving for some and I don't do cheesecake often. I do wish that it had more raspberry flavouring, but it did satisfy my dessert craving nicely. I will need to return and get wings. I also saw poutine, so I'll give it a go next time. (84)
