Was in the area for car service and dropped by Showtime Bistro for lunch. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of tables and the decor is warm but the music was just too loud. I was the only dine in customer at the time and there were a few other customers in and out for takeout during my meal. Order: Mike Tyson Burger and small Jerk Chicken Poutine. The burger was really good and the beef bacon was a really nice touch. I really enjoyed this. The poutine was just Ok. The Jerk flavour just wasn't there for me and they used processed mozzarella curds, it was tasty but disappointing overall. The fries are good but I wouldn't order poutine from here again. read more

Showtime Bistro - Mike Tyson Burger with small Jerk Chicken Poutine. - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This halal restaurant tucked away in a Scarborough plaza serves some of the best food! I tried their chicken tikka wrap and the tikka was so flavourful! The wrap was very filling and I loved the fries that came with it. My friend tried their chicken tikka poutine which was also super yum and I have to say their service is also very warm and friendly. The ambiance is nothing too fancy but it's fine for a fun dinner with friends. read more

Showtime Bistro - Chicken tikka wrap - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The wait was ridiculously long--45 minutes--only to receive a mediocre burger that's barely better than A&W, disguised as "gourmet." By the time my food arrived, the fries were cold, and the portion size was laughable for the price. The service didn't help either. The wait staff had the personality of a gnat, and when I asked what was on the burger, the waitress simply replied, "Beef." Groundbreaking. To top it off, I got the wrong order, but after waiting that long, I couldn't be bothered to send it back and wait another 45 minutes. This is exactly why I dislike Toronto burger joints--they sell you on the hype, charge accordingly, and then fail to deliver a decent burger. I've yet to find a place in this city that's actually worth returning to. I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't recommend it either--not when I can make a better burger at home in half the time, with twice the quality. read more

On Uber Eats, I have seen a number of BOGO offers from Showtime Bistro. I never acted on them until this past Tuesday. I don't normally hang around the Markham Road and McNicoll Avenue area. I needed to check it out. I ordered the following items after completing my errands in Whitchurch-Stouffville: - Pineapple express burger with potato wedges (BOGO) - Showtime classic poutine (BOGO) The app stated that it would take twenty minutes for my takeout order to be ready. It was completed much sooner than that. I got there in twenty minutes. If you are heading southbound along Markham Road, you are hanging a left into a compact set of eateries and businesses. It is a bit tight for two cars to enter, so some caution is needed. I parked in front of Showtime Bistro. I backed into a spot. I then headed inside. I waited at the counter. A woman was in front of me stocking the fridge with canned pop. When she was done, she apologized. I liked her politeness. I stated my name and indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. Although I had the order number displayed on my phone, ready to show her, she asked verbally for the number. I gave her the last three digits of my order. It was ready, on the counter. When she placed it in front of me, it leaned on the plexiglass like the Tower of Pisa. She apologized for the lean. She was so apologetic. I thanked her and left with my paper bag of leaning goodies. I placed this paper bag in a reusable one in my car because it was tough holding a tall paper bag with barely a handle. I was supporting it with my hand under the bag when I fetched it from the eatery and could feel the warmth. I drove home after safely stowing my food. I had the burger and poutine for dinner. I snuck in a couple of wedges because they looked good. I then had the remaining food that covered two meals. The pineapple express burger was pretty good. It had spicy jerk sauce on it. At first, it tasted like a bunch of black pepper, which wasn't interesting. It tasted much better and more flavourful as I devoured it. Perhaps I had stumbled on way too much jerk seasoning with my first bite that it was too much for my tastebuds. It was yummy. My second burger the next day confirmed that it wasn't all black pepper. The pineapple slice was thick. It was sweet and delicious. The burger came with ring onions and pickles on top. The onions were too raw for my liking, so they came out. I had the pickles on the side, which worked well. They were crunchy and enjoyable. The beef patty was delicious. It was juicy and done perfectly. The bun held up well. It wasn't soggy, which I appreciated. I normally don't like potato wedges because they are typically boring. These were great. They had subtle seasoning, were crispy on the outside, and creamy inside. They tasted good the following days when I crisped them up before consuming them. I had some creamy dill sauce from St. Louis Bar and Grill. Dipping the wedges in this sauce was heavenly! The classic poutine is a generous size. I was pretty hungry on Wednesday and ate the entire thing. The gravy was yummy and rich in flavour. The cheese curds were perfect. I got a generous number of them in each poutine container. The fries were good. I'd get poutine here again. This eatery was a decent find. I'd return to try the wings and Ferrero Rocher milkshake. (85) read more

Good customer service, food is a little saucier than I like, but most people seem to like the sauce. It's unique. There was a mountain of fries on my plate, the portion sizes are good enough for two people, I wasn't able to finish this alone. Menu is a little slim read more

I like showtime. The atmosphere and aesthetic are both very welcoming. It is a great restaurant for a group of friends that is different from your regular pub. No alcoholic drinks served here. Also, they have a good selection on their menu. The staff are really friendly and they do have other items from the menu as I ordered rice with veggies and soy. However I did ask them for no hot sauce but the final platter did come with hot sauce. Similarly, my friend asked them to hold the imitation bacon (halal) but he ended up with it on his final platter as well. We still had a good experience here and will return. read more

I gave it 4 stars but it's probably closer to 3.5. Got another DEAL off DoorDash but nothing piqued my interest. This place was on my front page for a while so I decided why not try it out. I think the DoorDash prices a bit upped from the regular menu but I'm just going to use them for this review because they're what I would've paid. The two items I got (pictured) were the large "showtime classic poutine" (11.95) and their "Ferrero Rocher milkshake" (9.95). I thought the poutine was good. It was decently priced even with the slight markup and a decent portion size. It tasted pretty decent. It didn't have any special additions so it was what I paid for. I was a bit surprised by the milkshake though. A lot of the reviews praised the milkshake in being REALLY good but I thought it was pretty average. Even without markup, the shake is upwards of around $8 which is a lot considering it didn't taste like anything special. I'm sure there were bits of Ferrero in there somewhere but they weren't particularly stand out. It tasted just like a regular chocolate milkshake to me. A bit overpriced on that end. The poutine is about what you'd expect but the milkshake costs way too much for what you're getting...so 3.5 stars it is. It's an OK place but probably won't be returning if there's other options. read more

I got the chicken and rice with their signature white sauce since it always looked so good on their online menu. I definitely wasn't disappointed, everything was very flavourful and portion size was decent as well. My only complaint is that the chicken was a bit on the dryer side. But other than that, would get again! read more

Traveling for work and stumbled upon Showtime Bistro. Maybe I stumbled too hard and hit my head because something wasn't right about this place. There were two menu items that were "signature" - the Jerk Poutine and the Mike Tyson Burger. I have no idea why it's called that... it was small, overcooked, unflavorful and greasy. It came with fries that were also very greasy and severely overcooked - not to mention a small portion. All that for about $15. Like I said, something wasn't right about this place. When I walked in, the atmosphere looked like one of those places where you order at the counter and sit wherever with your food. However they waited to seat me and never offered me a beverage. The waitstaff hovered around me as if they felt bad I was dining alone, but never really spoke to me. The menu said they served Pepsi products but they brought me a can of Coke (which I preferred anyway). A bit of commentary on the decor... The walls were covered in quotes from movies from no particular genre - things like Toy story, Casablanca, Godfather, Aladdin. They were also playing music, but only Justin Bieber songs. In the hour that I was there they ONLY played Justin Bieber. I wouldn't go back and I'd be surprised if it stays around much longer. read more

This is my go to burger when I take out with Uber. Burger is called The Big Show Burger. This time my wife and I dined in. With ourselves and another random table for 2, I found the service to be very slow. Even it being noon the teaffic inside the restaurant had maximum 6 people the entire time we were there. Today my beef bacon tasted different. Is it a different brand? Was it burnt? Just did not enjoy it for some reason. However I usually do. Place is clean read more

First of all, we went on Valentine's Day. Many, if not all ladies in the restaurant got a rose...except for me... I'm not so much of a flower kinda girl anyway. Whatever, we just went there as we didn't want to get ripped off. Location seems a little sketchy. Menu does not have many items. The jerk chicken poutine was amazing, little spicy (I am a mild spice person), but flavourful and very saucy, which I really like. Fries was like Costco fries, the jerk chicken and sauce saved it though. The burger was average, same as fries. Nothing special. The Fererro Roche milkshake was very good. Must try. Very thick and filling, but makes you full of guilt after. We order things, but it took like foreverrrrr. It took aproximately 30min, drank all the water we had. They charge for water by the way (bottled water). For the long wait and price, very disappointed. We didn't even finish the burger or fries. The food definitely looks a lot better than taste. read more

Showtime Bistro - Amazing poutine - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Went there again for a dinner and I really don't see what people like about this place. The poutine felt like it was made from frozen fries, the jerk chicken sauce and stuff is still good, but the fries were a major turn off. We got burgers too this time, the buns were chewy and hard and the meat was tasteless and super dry. The final product was so bad it would give shitty bar food a run for its money. read more

This place is perfect for hanging out with friends or having dinner with the family. They have lots of parking and seating in the dining room. The decor here looks pretty and they have quotes from movies on the wall. It's nice and bright for photos too. The food here is all 100% halal. They've lot lots of burgers and poutines. They have a good selection of sandwiches to o and some entrees to choose from. The price per person is about $10-$20 depending what you choose to get. I would recommend the poutines. They're cheesy and saucy ! Make sure you save room for dessert ! Their milkshakes are pretty good !! read more

Decided to check this place house this is one of the worst tasting food ever I had I tried the phillycheese steak 100 percent that did not taste like a Philly cheesesteak it was greasy meat was seasoned very poorly and the food is overpriced definitely not good quality, it was very soggy the bread not crunchy, I wouldn't come back here because it is not worth my time, the service was good that's the positive usually when I go by this place it's usually empty I'm surprised how they survived this far, the food is generic no wow factor read more

Ordered chicken quesadilla and onion rings through DoorDash. The onion rings are a great size and I liked that there were 3 different sauces included in the order (spicy, ketchup and sour cream). There were four pieces of quesadilla provided which is alright for the price. While it could have been more flavourful, I did enjoy it and would return to this establishment in the future to try their other food offerings. read more

review is based on last visit (pick up order) as in the past the quality of the food seemed to be of a higher standard, open to re visiting eventually. called in late one day as I was in the vicinity and not many other options were open in the area. What sparked my interest was the daily special & jerk chicken poutine which I've had in the past and it was pretty good! The special I got was the Mike Tyson Burger w Fries. I opted out of the fries for onion rings instead bc I ordered the jerk chicken poutine as well, tho didn't adjust the burger nor was I offered? Anyways the onion rings were nothing more than your typical frozen wholesale type and the burger was honestly just OK, given the regular price of it I don't think it's worth it as the burger just didn't have anything that really stood out read more

Went back to show time after about 8 months and again they've changed the layout. Got rid of the booths and add few more tables. Again no longer order at counter now it's sit down. The menu has also been revamped with more options being offered. It's come far from the one pager they used to have about a year ago with only burgers. Now they've got fish and steak etc. I got a show time burger came with wedges and wife got a steak wrap as well as wings as app. I was really surprised when I asked for a salad instead of fries and the waitress told me it would cost $4 more. I've never heard that anywhere. Funny thing is they used to offer salad or fries or wedges as sides no longer apparently. Really weird. However gotta say the wedges were crispy and delicious and man they gave maybe like 6 potatoes worth...it was slot. And the wings were delicious and good size. Definitely would go again. read more

The food isn't bad and my favourite is the chicken shawarma poutine but the 1 star is for the bad service I received after my order was messed up. My poutine was made incorrectly and missing things so I called the restaurant I see if I could get it fixed. The lady who answered the phone was very rude after I explained what happened and started arguing with me. Instead of apologizing and trying to help fix the situation (mistakes do happen) she had an attitude and was arguing with me. She was convinced I was wrong even though I was very specific in what I wanted in my order. Great food but the service turned me off read more

In a word - meh. This restaurant is way better as an Uber Eats / Takeout restaurant. The food was good (highly recommend the ribs) but considering that it was coming one at a time just did not make sense to us. Honestly the food and customer experience is what is saving the review. The 2 servers were always kind and would give us insight on menus. We wanted to finally dine in after always ordering here online. We were the only ones at that restaurant and they chose us to dine in at a half booth, but when the next customer came they decided to seat us at a table right next to us. There were regular tables and booths that were clean but out of all tablesIt's very confusing why you would serve your dishes 1 at a time. I refused to eat without my family having food in front of them and we had to wait 30 minutes in a practically empty restaurant, it just did not make sense. Same thing with dessert, we ordered a cheesecake and a milkshake. The cheesecake was good, however by the time we had the milkshake we finished the cake because it was again a 25-35 minute wait. I will continue to order from Uber, just won't come back until they fix their serving issues read more

Went here a couple of times with colleagues. The place is clean and modern. We ordered the classic Mozart burger, the Big Show burger and jerk chicken poutine. Wait times for the food were slightly long. However, "good things come to those who wait". The burgers are excellent! Even the bun is a fresh yellow high quality bun. They definitely fit the bill as "gourmet". I don't know if kids would appreciate them though, because they area bit large to bite. The poutine was top notch. The potato wedges are terrific too. So you would ask why 4 stars instead of 5? There is a 15% gratuity already on the bill, but when you pay by credit card, the machine asks for another tip. Half of our group ended up tipping twice by mistake (25-30%). I don't know if this is on purpose, but if they include a tip on the bill, the machine should be set to NOT ask for a tip again. read more

Very cool place! Pros- Amazing food! I've been 2 times so far. Free can refill Portion sizes are quite decent Con- Size: I'd feel odd coming here with a big group because of the seating. Odd location to get to if your coming up from HWY48. I got a burger this time and REALLY enjoyed it. read more

Walked in today around the late afternoon time, the place was very clean and had an interesting decor which was movie themed. The servers and staff were very friendly as well. I ordered a "Mike Tyson" burger and I can honestly say it was amazing it came with a variety of toppings which included all of the basic stuff (onions tomatoes etc..) but it also had beef bacon and fried jalapeños which I found delicious. I liked the fact that the jalapeños actually complemented the taste vs. just burning my mouth like it usually goes haha. Overall I had a very pleasant experience and thought the food was mouthwatering as can be seen in the picture. read more

Showtime Bistro - Mike Tyson Burger ! - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This restaurant recently got taken over by new owners. I was really hesitant on going in because I didn't have the best experience when the previous owners were running this restaurant- in other words, I had a few bad experiences. I heard a lot of good things so I decided to go on in. As soon as I entered I was greeted and taken to a table. The staff were all very pleasant and offered to give recommendations as I hadn't ordered from their new menus. I ordered the jerk chicken poutine, chicken bites, Tyson burger and Fererro Milkshake. Poutine- this involved ooey-gooey cheese, and lots of it It was delicious but massive so I'd recommend sharing Chicken bites - these were addictive! I recommend ordering these as an appetizer, you won't be disappointed. Tyson burger - you could see the juice as you bite into your burger. You can tell they use good quality meat. Fererro Milkshake - I can confidently say that if you have this Milkshake, you will want to go back.. again and again. I'm currently craving it The good vibes and food will definitely take me back :) read more

When we came in today (Tuesday evening) around 6:30PM, the place was empty. I found the place is clean, and I like the decor. It is very movie-themed. They play movie soundtracks and there is an old movie playing as well on their TVs. I feel like this restaurant should be beside a Cineplex. We chose our table, and you basically just have to come up to the front to place your order and pay. Once your order is ready, they call your order number and you pick it up in front and deliver it to your own table. The prices are fair for what you get. My fiance got the short rib poutine ($10.99) and I got the sliders ($9.99). We requested waters and the server just gave us very tiny cups of water which I finished in one gulp. That wasn't good. I should have just ordered a bottle of water. Short rib poutine - a big serving for $10.99! The short rib poutine is actually spiced! The sauce and the spice of the meat has overpowered everything else in the poutine, unfortunately. After a while the food gets tiresome, as the fries and cheese curds taste like the sauce, you don't get to taste the individual tastes of cheese curds / fries anymore. Beef sliders - these are awesome and they taste good. This is a much recommended item from their menu. The patties are a good size and they are very flavorful, and I like that their sliders come with many different toppings! I would definitely come back, as I find their service and ambiance wonderful. I can't help but name all the songs being played and figure out which movie each song is from, as they play movie soundtracks all day long. Wait time is minimal, I think we only waited about 5-6 minutes for our food. Review 65 of 100 read more

Totally forgot to take advantage of the 10% off coupon - if you are reading this, remember to use it! This is kind of a hidden gem and it makes the restaurant stand out within the plaza. It's the kind of place you would go to casually catch up and have a tasty meal. In particular i am giving my review based on the jerk chicken poutine that I enjoyed (yum and has a kick!) and also the waffles in the chicken and waffles. Service was friendly and efficient, restaurant was clean and welcoming. The biggest negative was that the caesar salad was drenched in sauce (which we could have done without). Otherwise, the burger was decent and tasted fresh. It's more of a 3.5 stars in my books but I am all about supporting small local businesses. The waffles texture and bite is definitely one that you won't find anywhere else. Give it a try today and let me know how you like it :) read more

Honestly, the food is SO good..I'd recommend this place BUT their service is probably the slowest I've ever had. I'm a very patient person, but this place tests my limits. The staff aren't very welcoming or kind either. Won't acknowledge you, even if you've been standing there waiting. Food is great though, if you don't mind waiting an hour for a your food..which probably isn't a complicated thing to make. read more

You know that feeling when the hair on the back of your neck stands up. You feel a chill. That feeling when the world around you just stops. You forget about everything else. You forget about your worries. Your stress. You forget about life. All you can think about is that moment. That moment that life brought you. All the hurdles. The stresses. The worries of life almost seem worth it. They brought you to that moment. That moment is when you take your first bite out of a burger at this burger joint. True bliss. read more

There is no way these are actual reviews. We ordered using Uber last night. The burgers are frozen patties, which were grey. Like seriously grey in colour! The wedges are also the frozen bagged type you find in the supermarket and I think they were either baked or air fried. It was a waste of money that went right into the garbage bin. I wish I had taken pictures to share, but we were so disgusted we just tossed it and out $50 in the trash. read more

You can try it if you really don't have any other options to eat. The food was just ok, nothing special and doesn't really match the description they boast on the menu. We ordered a mozart burger, chicken shawarma poutine and steak wrap. The burger was nothing special, the poutine was good, the steak wrap was really disappointing. read more

My sister and I ordered from here through UberEats and it was DELICIOUS. The jerk chicken poutine is a must have, although I'd prefer if the chicken pieces were cut a little smaller. It was also packed really well. My friend has tried their ribs and she really loved it. The next time I order I'm definitely gonna try the ribs! read more

Great place for a group of people. This my second time dining in. Overall clean restrooms, and dining space. Good food presentation.. I ordered the lunch special the zinger burger. The burger was okay, it was soaked in oil... tasted good though. The fries however were old, seemed they put it back in the fryer to heat it up and it made the fires very oily and had a bit of smell to it... I think they also needed to change their fryer oil as both the fries and burger kind smelled like burnt cooking oil. read more

We walked in today (Saturday) at lunch time. The waitress said they didn't have any salads or sandwiches. She said that they only have salads when they're busy otherwise the vegetables get old sitting out. That's pretty rediculous and she actually said it like it made complete sense to her. Tables weren't clean and floors were sticky even though we were the first ones in the restaurant today. I ordered the wrap which had cold rice in it. I should have tried the burger instead since that is more popular apparently. The real kicker is that when we were leaving she was eating a sandwich that I'm fairly sure was from there. I think they have limited options when it's not busy. Really unprofessional. read more

I don't know why this place received such low stars but I think it was very good. Yes it's a self serve thing... You have to pay before ordering maybe because a lot of people have dined and dashed... But who knows? As long as you have intentions of paying for your food then you're good! My brother had the steak which was so yummy!!!! Almost as good as the keg I had the sliders with beef bacon which was very nice as I don't eat regular bacon... It was clean Washroom was clean (Incase it matters) The owner was nice (I think he was the owner) he did check up on us to see if everything was ok Water was served in paper cups..

Great underrated place. The first time I went it just opened it was alright but they have managed to improve their burgers. Really yummy now. Usually have their Mike Tyson burger. Beef Patty is soft and crumbles in mount and love the beef bacon and sauce , gives really rich flavour. Their jerk chicken poutine is just the best I have ever had and the serving is huge too. Everyone i take just looks at their​ poutine and have a big smile on face.Only issue is days they are open, it usually only Thur to sunday.highly recommend read more

Went with my family for dinner. We ordered the following: 2 Fight Club sandwiches Carne Asada 1 lb Wings with BBQ sauce Big Show sandwich Sixth Sense sandwich ---------------------- Here's the rundown. Showtime Bistro is fantastic and a must-try for those looking for something halal set in a modern cuisine. The sandwiches were flavourful and juicy. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Carne Asada. Mainly because we did not expect an appetizer dish to be so good. You have to order this! I had the Sixth Sense. The mushrooms were a great touch and overall, the sandwich was filling and well worth the $10.99. Will definitely be visiting again! read more
