On my last day in Canada, I wanted to cross eating poutine off of my list of "Things to do in…read moreCanada" and I finally did. After asking around a few times, everyone's suggestion for great poutine was Smoke's so I took a trip with my cousin and I was soooo satisfied! I ordered the tradition poutine with veggie gravy (made with mushrooms instead of chicken) and no salt on my fries. The fries were perfectly cooked, not soggy or overdone. It was kind of overwhelming because they give you A LOT but it's very tasty. The cheese curds tasted like mozzarella so it didn't have a weird taste like I was expecting. Overall, it was a great first experience sating poutine.

I'm also probably just a weakling and shouldn't have forced myself to eat all that. Anyways, I have only heard good things about firehouse subs forever. Surprisingly, my bf has tried it before I have and he too raves about them. I finally had a chance to try a few bites from my friends' subs as they had ordered some through skip the dishes. I was blown away. I tried a few bites of the Italian and the Steak and Cheese and it was sooooo good. Also, for a bootleg Philly cheesesteak, which I know they do not claim to be, it was pretty good!! So a week later I was super craving my own and could not stop thinking about it. Thankfully for me, there's one an 8 minute drive away. Since I had such a good experience with the Italian that's what I decided to order. A medium. Also I had no idea you could add certain extra toppings at no fee, until my gf started ordering them lol next time. Anyways, somehow my friend's sub last week tasted so much better and it was delivery! Lol. Maybe it's because I got whole wheat. I need to make note to stick to white bread next time. The sub was still super tasty, packed with meat and fresh ingredients. I love their buns. They're the perfect softness. I hate buns that are hard and hurt my gums. Ya I'm sounding hella old. I'm super impressed with these subs and it's literally just a sub but I find myself craving them all the time! I can't wait to try all the flavours!

New restaurants often receive lots of hype, but it's not too often a restaurant chain does…read more However, word of Firehouse Subs has been making quite a bit of noise since they've entered the GTA market in the last year or so. Hype is great to generate buzz, but it can also lead to unrealistic expectations. I'm happy to report that Firehouse has completely met and even surpassed my high expectations. I'd heard great things about their meatball sub, so I went with that on my first visit. I had a couple years as a teenager loving meatball subs at Subway, but have since largely moved on due the sub-par meat quality. The meatball sub here is EXACTLY what you would look for in a proper meatball sub. The meat quality is top notch, and that along with the sauce really brings out a great homemade feel. And of course with a sandwich, you can't overlook the importance of the bun and Firehouse has knocked it out of the park in that regard. It should be noted that all subs are toasted here. They also ensure it's toasted thoroughly so it will take a few minutes for your sub to be finished. Beyond that, they only have a handful of toppings to choose from, and ones that are conducive for a toasted sub - so no lettuce, tomato and others. There are still a few others however, such as bell peppers, jalapenos and more. I wanted to wait for another visit before I gave my review since a meatball sub could be a bit easier for a toasted sub place to pull off. I came in today and ordered the beef brisket sandwich. They describe it as smoked for 16 hours, though obviously it wouldn't be the same as a brisket from a BBQ joint. The brisket is deli-style meat, but their fridge is on full display and you can see that it arrives whole, which means they would slice it fresh. Beyond that, once I received my sandwich and began to eat, it's clear that it's about the highest quality deli meat available. It was apparent from the look and the taste, and even the smoked quality was evident. I brought a co-worker on this visit and she absolutely loved her steak and cheese sandwich. It's all about the quality of the ingredients here which makes the sandwiches great. They are also well-staffed here to manage many customers and they're super-friendly. I'm not sure how much I buy into the firehouse theme or even the fundraising/philanthropy aspect of the business - but when the food is this good it doesn't even matter.

Hello foodies out there I been hearing all the hype on Instagram foodies posting pictures and…read morereviews on this place for a while now, so it was time I stopped in and seen what all the hype was about. Munchers is located just off McLaughlin Rd. in a small older plaza on Flowertown Avenue. It's easy to find with plenty of parking. The restaurant is small looks like takeout only at this point but clean with very clear menus on the wall. They serve what I would call a very much modernized fast food Indian-fusion cuisine. Its Indian food with an American fusion twist to it.  They have some unique burgers, cheese melt sandwiches, poutines and of course there rice bowls all made with an Indian flavor's and spices. I decided to try two of their bowls, the Tandoori chicken Rice Bowl and the Shrimp Rice Bowl, there chicken burgers look great also but that will be for next time if I am back. Food : for the Tandoori Bowl I would have to say it was a 4/5 as far as appearance and taste , but it was a relatively small portion size so they could have been a little more generous with filling the bowl with more rice. The chicken is Tandoori marinated chicken is cubed and grilled and then placed over their rice. With two sauces one is a tandoori sauce very flavorful and not spicy at all, the other is a white cream sauce or aioli of sort, possibly a yogurt sauce, they combine well and go perfect with the chicken and rice. The rice is also very good well-seasoned, you can really taste the cumin and the cinnamon, just very tasty rice. The rice and the tandoori sauce they put over the chicken are defiantly the stars in this dish. It also comes with pickled onions that are really tasty also, really enjoyed them wish there was more in the dish, you also get the choice of a very small amount of coleslaw or green salad with the dish. The coleslaw was a disaster just horrible not seasoning and no flavor just plain cut with nothing on it and almost seemed it was cooked not fresh not crunch it, it was soft and wilted like it had been boiled, horrible if you get this opt-out of the coleslaw option not good at all. The Shrimp Bowl 4/5 as well the shrimp was well cooked very well-seasoned very spicy with a tiny kick to it, again the same issue just a small portion if you're a big eater you're going to need two of these bowls they are stingy with their portion sizes at least with bowls, The rice again was amazing same as above, also came with that horrible coleslaw not recommended at all as a side option. Service 2/5 The food overall was great however their downfall is their service just horrible, first considering I was the only person there at about 2 pm after the lunch rush, it took them 34 minutes to prepare my food, with one other person walking in about 10 minutes after me. You place your order then they text you when the order is ready , after placing my order at the counter girl told me it would be 15 minutes, 20 minutes later I did not receive text so I walked in to check the status of my food and she told me it would be another 10 minutes in actuality ended up being another 14 minutes. Just pathetic service, I guess they don't have a clue what under promise over deliver means. The staff was not exactly friendly either, it's a shame great food horrible customer service, need major improvement, not sure I will be back having to wait well over 30 minutes for fast food takeout My recommendation is call-in your order and don't show up early if you want your food on time.

This is honestly a nice spot overall. Right when you walk in, the interior stands out, it's open,…read morespacious, and has lots of seating. The walls have bright paintings everywhere, which adds a fun touch, and the whole place feels really clean, organized, and well kept. Even though it was packed when I went, everything still felt under control and not chaotic at all. The service was really efficient, especially considering how busy it was. The staff moved quickly, orders came out at a good pace, and everything was handled smoothly. As for the food, I got the one tender and one slider meal. The food was good, but I wouldn't say it fully lives up to the hype, especially considering how much amazing food we have in the GTA. Still, it was definitely decent. The tenders were crispy and well seasoned, and the fries were great. I love crinkle-cut fries, so those were a win for me, super crunchy and cooked well. The slider had the same seasoning as the tender and was still really tasty. I loved the addition of the pickles and coleslaw, they balanced everything out nicely. Their sauce was fine, but nothing crazy. I'd compare it to Chick fil A's sauce, just a bit less tangy. One thing I really liked was how the food was served. The big boxes look nice, everything is organized, and it honestly feels a little fancy, which I appreciated. Pricewise, I do think it's overpriced for what you get. I paid around $22 for the meal and it didn't even come with a drink, which felt a bit steep considering the portion size. That said, the quality is definitely top tier, you can tell they use good ingredients. Overall, it's not bad at all. I'd come back, but it's not something I heavily crave. For me, it's around a 7.5/10.

I went with the Dave's number 3 and was able to upgrade my fries to Mac and cheese for $2.99 extra. The food I will say was a miss. Bland and unflavoured considering how expensive it was. This was a fail in my book. The Mac & cheese tasted almost as if it came out of a box. My girlfriend had gotten fries with her meal and they weren't salted at all. The Texas toast or square bread that comes with the meal was soggy from the chicken resting in it and the list kind of goes on. The only positive I have was the sauce if I'm being honest. Together for two Dave's #3, two drinks and upgraded fries, we spent $55 bucks. Would I say it was worth it, absolutely not. I've been to a lot of other chicken spots in the GTA as well as America and they pass Dave's by a lot. I will say the inside seating area was the highlight for me as I think it's cool how they incorporated Brampton to the drawing.

When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a super friendly cashier. She asked us if it was our first time here, and welcomed us back when we explained we had gone here years ago. We tried the chicken, gravy, fries, biscuits, onion rings and poppers. Every single thing we ordered was crispy, fresh and delicious. The poppers were sooooo good, better than ones you can get at dine in restaurants. The gravy was Soo good, almost like old school KFC gravy (before it mysteriously changed). The fries were crinkle cut and super crispy! The chick en was super crispy, fresh and juicy. This place is definitely one of the best for fried chicken. On top of the great food, the service was impeccable. I wish I knew the name of the cashier, but she was a lady with blonde hair and glasses. She was super friendly, welcoming and patient as we took out time to go over the menu. She told us we should go online before our next visit because there are lots of great coupons there. The customer service in combination with the great food makes this place stand out! Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be back.

For us it worth the drive to Brampton to pickup some food. We were delivering a wide variety of foods for an important family event and our goal was to pick up 20 different items. We ended up picking close to 40'items. The onion pakoras (20/10, yes not a typo), masala Idli, thaali with tamarind rice or lemon rice (both 10/10 and a slight up charge), all the veg curries, medu vadas, spinach medu vadas, samosas, fritters, stuffed breads, and oh those desserts - some mango flavoured, coconut and more. And the best almost all of things that we bought happened to be Vegan! There was raita and some dahi wadas that had yogurt. And get these, we did not buy masala dosas, regular idlis, puttus, noodles and pasta (yes they had pasta, probably Tamil or Sri Lankan style) and so much more.

That way can unwrap and eat straight away. Samosa and spring roll small baby sized. I will say though samosa filling was tasty as was the dosa filling. In fact the dosa was full! I rated at 3 originally but gave 4 given the amount of filling in the dosa - I look forward to restaurant opening so I can eat their dosa there and then. Will revisit!

I had an early dinner each time. Before leaving, I visited this Jollibee. There is only one entrance to this restaurant that faces the parking lot. I got to see the mascot between doors. I then headed to the order area. My first visit consisted of getting these items: - Pineapple quencher - Peach mango pie I had my Jollibee rewards QR code scanned to collect points. I then paid with a credit card. It didn't take long for a friendly woman to put my order together. I loved the pineapple quencher. It tasted like fresh pineapple juice. So good and cheerful! I had my peach mango pie in my car while stopped at a Circle K on my way home. The pie was still hot. It was crispy on the outside. The filling was delicious. I was happy having a bit of dessert.

I like a thoroughly cooked burger, but this was a very small patty that had been seared to death and stuck under a heat lamp.

I doubt they even seasoned the patty with salt or pepper, not even a hint. Then we get to my drink. The portion size seemed okay for the price, until I drank it. Ugh. Watered down, and I believe from a powder. I'm not expecting fresh squeezed but I'm also not expecting this trash.
