    Cajun shrimp sirloin
    Swetha R.

    Came for lunch with my friends and it was rather empty. Service was very slow. Food took over an hour to be delivered only for my plate (Cajun shrimp sirloin) to be super cold. Complained to the waitress who nuked it in the microwave and made my steak rubbery. The steak was possibly one of the worst I have had. It was just a slab of meat thrown on grill with no flavour. The drinks were on the sugary end. The pineapple ninja wheat ale and the four cheese dip were probably the only saving grace of my experience

    Storefront with the Canadian flag
    Mary T.

    After visiting downtown Ajax to get groceries, I was hungry. I have my usual places while in the city to eat, but I wanted to try a place that I have never been to. I have visited this plaza for years. Best Buy and Old Navy were and still are my most frequented stores here. I knew about this Kelseys, but never went in there until yesterday. I got a decent parking spot close to the front door. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a host. She asked whether I wanted the dining room or bar. I normally go with the former. I saw the game on between the Flyers and Devils, and chose the latter instead. I got to choose my booth. Nice! Out of all the Kelseys that I have visited for the last 1.5 years, the staff here are the friendliest. They like one another and it shows. I got a wonderful server who got me my Diet Pepsi and asked if I needed any refills throughout my meal. I ordered my favourite, which is the original (ten) New York style wings in sea salt and black pepper. I got ranch dip for my celery and carrot sticks. As usual, these wings are consistent no matter where you go. These were yummy. The man who brought my food asked if I wanted any additional dipping sauces for my wings. It was a nice touch. I would have given a perfect five stars. The problem is that I had ordered the takeaway cookie for dessert. Instead, I got the messy cookie sandwich. It is essentially double the number of chocolate chip cookies, except that they are heated up, and the whole dessert comes with vanilla ice cream, and chocolate and caramel sauces. Even though my order was wrong, this dessert looked so good that I went with it. The verdict? This dessert worked for me. I didn't have all the chocolate sauce, as the cookies and ice cream were sweet enough. The scoop of vanilla ice cream was perfect for my needs. It was all yummy that I am glad that this mistake had panned out. The women's washroom is clean and looks like it was recently renovated. Frankly, the entire restaurant looks like it had a makeover. The bar area is cozy, especially when you are seated at a booth. I had a great time watching the hockey game. The Flyers won in dramatic style at the end of the third period. I'd come back here again, as it's a relaxed place to dine. It's nice that I can finally say that I have dined here. (374)

    Chicken Fried Chicken
    Patricia V.

    I got the Chicken Fried Chicken and it was delicious. Nice and crispy breading on the outside and juicy on the inside. I also tried the strawberry rhubarb lemonade. A bit on the sweeter side but refreshing. It was a cosy and friendly atmosphere, there were also a lot of families when I went for dinner and it looked quite busy. So I was surprised by the fact that we had several employees checking up on us to ask us how the food was. Overall, a really great night with family but I regret not getting dessert.

    Thai Green Curry with Shrimp
    Mark T.

    I usually pop in here when my focus is food, not sports, beer and typical pub-fare (there are plenty of other spots close by that cover those areas very well). In over a dozen visits I've never had a mediocre meal (try the Thai Green Curry with chicken or shrimp!) or a mediocre service experience. Though not a "screen-centric" environment, there are some massive screens around should you choose to catch a game there after lunch or dinner. Highly recommended!

Menu is a tad over priced, but I can't deny it tastes good. Not overly salty or oily as bar food often is, and I actually really enjoyed their pasta. It's definitely a great place to go for a bit of a splurgy night with friends where you're prepared to pay $20-40 per person. I like it for a date night to have some heavier foods that I wouldn't want to try cooking at home. The short rib pappardelle was the best. I love the flavour and it's not too crazy heavy, even though it looks really creamy. It has very beef stew type vibes. The chicken wings were well cooked and still moist. I think it was too much flavour going on though. You LOVE the first and even second wing. But by the third one, I felt like it was getting too heavy. I know though that a lot of people love that and can't get enough of it. I personally don't like too much of any one thing. The brussel sprouts I felt the same. It's really yum for the first few bites but it gets really heavy after a while. I think it's really fun to have the appetizers and share a main with someone. The foods are a bit heavier, more of a flavour bomb, but everything is executed well and the staff are really nice! We've even done take out and the portions were very much the same.

It's located in a plaza next to Rexall, anchored by a Food Basics. I headed eastbound along Steeles Avenue East, which becomes Taunton Road. I then turned right on Westney Road North, eventually making a left into this plaza. There was plenty of parking when I arrived. I backed into a spot and walked in. We reserved a couple of tables. We were ready to eat! We got there just before 4 pm. Our friendly server advised that its new pub menu was available for us to order from, as well as its main menu. It's a Caribbean restaurant that puts an island twist on many items. There are also non-Caribbean food if you're not feeling like having spiced-up items. From the pub menu, we got these items: - Loaded crunch burger - Mushroom madness burger - Greek salad - Beef nachos - Jerk chicken poutine - Jerk quesadilla We ordered these items from the main menu: - Special chicken lo mein - Spicy pepper shrimp - Honey garlic beef short ribs - Szechwan tofu with rice We started off with drinks. I ended up with a Hibiscus fruit mocktail. I couldn't tell you what was in it, but it was cold and delicious. Our table also got colourful drinks, including a mojito. We also got a pitcher of icy water. I went up to the bar to get a refill roughly halfway through our meal. The female staffer was so nice. She brought the refill to our table and even topped up our glasses. The food was excellent. I sadly couldn't fit the burgers in my system. They looked amazing. I love mushrooms, so I was especially sad that I didn't get to try the mushroom madness burger. Both burgers that we ordered came with fries. It seemed weird to order a Greek salad from a Caribbean place. Hey, we got to get some greens in. I was impressed at how much feta we got. I enjoyed this salad. The lettuce and onions were crisp. The latter didn't have that raw, burning taste to them. The dressing was delicious. The beef nachos were amazing. The beef had big, bold, beefy flavour. The melty cheese was great with the sour cream and crunchy nacho chips. I normally don't like sour cream, but this place didn't overdo it. I liked the lighter-handed approach. The jerk poutine was amazing. It had the best seasoned jerk chicken morsels with crispy fries, a decent gravy, and cheese curds. The jerk quesadilla stole my heart. The cheese pull didn't seem to want to stop. It was the same flavourful jerk chicken. It was delicious. The mains were equally as good as the pub items! The special chicken lo mein was indeed special. The lo mein was chewy and yummy. The sauce was on the saltier side, but it wasn't horrible. I liked the veggies, especially the baby corn. It had tender chicken morsels mixed in. On top of everything was even more roasted chicken. Wow! Everything was delicious, including the chicken on top. The spicy pepper shrimp were incredible. If you like spicy deliciousness, get the shrimp. They were perfectly cooked and yummy. The honey garlic beef short ribs were scrumptious. The sauce had the best mix of honey with garlic. The ribs were tender. I loved the red and green peppers. Yum! The szechuan tofu was a nice alternative to meat. The flavours were bold and perfect. I loved the cubed tofu. I actually brought this dish home with a mound of steamed rice. This eatery has a lot of seating. The bar is gorgeous. There's a huge screen for sports games there. You can also watch games anywhere in this restaurant as there are screens everywhere. If you do want a change of pace, there's a pool table near the entrance. I used the washroom before leaving and heading home. The women's was clean. This eatery has lunch and student specials. I'd like to try the former items one of these days. I had a great time with friends here over yummy drinks and food. I can't wait to return for more. (285)
