I ended up with a drink leaking in my car because the carbonation was strong and didn't have a place to escape. - This place has the best brioche buns. - Get the Dubai chocolate brownie. Two Saturdays ago, I was in the Malvern area of Scarborough and had just spent some time running errands. I needed to grab some dinner. I looked at my DoorDash app. I saw a BOGO deal on a Boardwalk classic burger combo. Perfect! The combo details are as follows: - Two Boardwalk classic burgers - Two 8-ounce fries - Two fountain Diet Coke drinks I saw a Dubai chocolate brownie on the menu. I had to get it. I got an estimated time to pick up my order. I casually drove over to pick up my food. This eatery is located in a plaza. I drove southbound along Morningside Avenue and did a left turn onto Kingston Road. I then did a right into the plaza and backed into a parking spot. I walked into the eatery. There's a door to enter and a door to exit. It reminded me of Salisbury House in Winnipeg. The eatery was cheerful and spacious. I was the only person here at nearly 4 pm. I got a helpful woman who came out of the kitchen. I let her know that I had a DoorDash order. She took out my tray with my drinks and my paper bag of food. I thanked her and took everything over to my car. My food went into an insulated bag. I secured my drinks. Both drinks had the X on the lid sealed with tape. The problem with this approach is that the carbonation had no place to escape, except under the lid. Yep, I had Diet Coke leak out of one of my drinks. I ended up cleaning the mess after I removed the tape off both drinks to release the bottled-up carbonation. I drank one of them as I headed home. It tasted yummy and crisp. It was icy cold. I liked that the straws have a red diagonal stripe. They are paper and durable. Being a person who is curious about an eatery's backstory, I went on Boardwalk Canada's site to check out OUr History. It wasn't helpful with the birthplace right off the bat. It says that Dave and Fran DiFerdinando founded Boardwalk and they wanted to bring the "taste of Boardwalk fries" to Canada. Which boardwalk? It should be mentioned in the same sentence. When I think of boardwalk, it's the Beaches area of Toronto. Second? The boardwalk shopping area in Kitchener. The third? The boardwalk in Atlantic City. I don't recall any Boardwalk burger joint in any of these locations. When you read the Boardwalk Canada's story, the third paragraph says Ocean City's Boardwalk. Geez, thanks for burying this detail. As Canadians, are we supposed to know where Ocean City is? Looking at the Boardwalk US site, all my questions were answered in the tagline under the title of this History page. It's Ocean City, Maryland. Why not cut to the chase on the Canadian site with this detail?! One word: Ugh! Let's get to the food. I frankly didn't think the fries were to write home about. They are apparently cooked multiple times. I didn't taste it. They tasted like once-fried fries that were lightly seasoned. I saw tater tots on the menu. I'd rather get them than fries. I hope they are yummy. I will need to get an order and find out. The burger was delicious. The brioche bun was delightful. It was soft. Yet, it held everything together. It felt fancy and it was a nice change from a bun with sesame seeds. The seasoned beef patty was juicy and flavourful. It's halal, too. I loved the lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and secret sauce. They tasted fresh and were the perfect toppings. I had the Dubai chocolate brownie for dessert. OMG! It was stellar. It had the best semi-sweet chocolate. There was pistachio cream on top mixed crunchy kataifi bits. I'd get this dessert again in a heartbeat. I had a wonderful experience here. The burgers do run on the expensive side at roughly $10 and higher. It's excellent, though. I'd splurge getting one, along with the Dubai chocolate brownie. (368)

Boardwalk Scarborough under new management, they had a customer appreciation day…read more We've been to another location before, and came by to support. I love their Crispy Chicken sandwich, it's super tasty and the chicken is really crispy. My husband likes their mushroom swiss burger. Their shakes are absolutely incredible, tasty and thick. I knew they were really thick, so today I tried flipping the cup upside down... and it truly does not budge. We've now had their Nutella, Dubai chocolate, strawberry, and cookies and cream shakes. They have all been delicious! Good amount of tables on either side of the restaurant. Staff are super friendly. Their fries at both locations have been lacking. I don't typically get the combo because I don't like their fries

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

The design your own pasta for less than $12 from an arrangement of varietal ingredients alone should bring you here; not to mention the sweet owners who cater the food with love. There was so much to choose from I decided to throw in a complicated mix that still worked out. 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!

Its like super hot buffalo wing sauce) and a pineapple bbq one, and a Mexican fries. 1lb gives you 13 boneless. Well seasoned. Incredible amt of options for sauces and seasoning. The only thing about the halal is that the boneless are halal BUT u have to pay to upgrade to boneless and sometimes they fry it in the same oil as the non-zabiha bone-in wings if it gets busy. 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. I recommend it.

I have tried at their First Markham location and Scarborough Town center location. The food quality is ok, edible, not surprisingly good. The volume is small. Although the item price is low, it will leave you hungry if you only order 1 or 2 items. I ordered chilli wonton and cold noodle with plum juice, i felt half full only. The service is ok, not surprisingly good either. It is usually located in a food court, so food court store quality i guess.

It was buy one get one free this weekend so I also tried the BBQ mushroom. But it was too spicy for me. Both though were hot, fresh and crispy and the pork and mushrooms were flavourful. I beat the lunch crowd by going right when they opened 11am at Scarborough Town Centre. Service was friendly and waited a few minutes. I ordered 2 more 1/2 hour later and it got busy so had to wait around 5-10 min. Ambiance was not bad in the food court because it was before lunch hours. I still think Fresh Meat Bowl at Finch Midland has the best and juiciest crispy burger. Check my reviews for my blissful experience!

You get to pick and choose your noodle type but choosing rice noodles will increase the price by a dollar or two Portion sizes were phenomenal for how much you're paying I preferred my fiancé's egg noodle over my rice noodle and personally the fish balls were a bit too scaley and are more fried spoon scoops from a fish paste vs the bouncy traditional HK fish ball, but nevertheless. Delicious quick eats! Closer to a 3.5 over a 4 for me but still a great place to eat imo

Simple, no-frills spot, but the food hits the spot. I'd definitely come back here hopefully for warm comfort food when it's cold outside
