This McDonald's visit conjured up a lot of memories being a regular well over a decade ago. I used…read moreto drop by the drive-thru after work when I used to work in Scarborough to grab dinner. I'd then sit in my car and eat before heading home. I did it well before COVID-19 was a thing. I still eat in my car these days, especially when I'm hangry. This restaurant's location hasn't changed. However, it now has two lanes that end up converging by the time you hit the first drive-thru window. I came here on a Friday night. I pulled out my McD's app to provide a code to collect points. I felt like a quarter pounder with cheese combo and got one. I got regular fries and a Diet Coke, which seem to be my usual order as of late. The woman at the drive-thru was nice. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. My drink came out first, followed by my food in a paper bag. I thanked her and happily drove home without cursing at any bad drivers. My quarter pounder with cheese hit the spot. It was yummy. My fries looked a bit droopy and sad, as if they wanted to be potato contortionists when they grew up. However, they tasted yummy and salted nicely despite their soggy appearance. My drink washed everything down. It was icy cold and didn't taste watered down. It was nice returning here to relive memories being a regular McD's customer. It has improved since I was last here. I'd return when I'm in the area again. (54)

This is just a review of this locations recent featured menus items. Recently I tried their…read moreselection of doughnuts and smoothies and found them surprising pleasant. The crème brûlée doughnut was a nice treat. Though I wouldn't come to McDonald's just to order it, I do think if you're curious, it's probably worth it. I felt that the maple iced and caramel filled doughnut as well as the apple fritter and Boston cream doughnuts were similarly delicious. I don't know that it really stacks up against any speciality shop or even Tim Hortons but I would say it was worth the price. Similarly, though I don't typically order them, I tried a selection of their smoothies and actually found them quite pleasant too. The real star was their peach passion fruit smoothie. I would definitely order this again. It was sweet, tangy, and just a pleasant surprise. I also found the strawberry banana smoothie and blueberry pomegranate smoothie to be quite good but my personal addiction to peach flavoured drinks means the the peach passion fruit will always come first. They all come in festive cups to boot for the holidays. If you were wondering if any of these items were worth the try, I'd definitely give them a go as you might find them surprisingly good. Also, if you haven't tried the Apple pies yet, they are always delicious (though I suspect many of you have already experience these little delights). As a side note, they are just better in Canada than in other parts of the world due to the method of preparation. I think Canada bakes them and other countries deep fry them. You'd be surprised at the difference. I would however avoid the "li'l doughnuts". I found them disgusting. Timbits are way better. The next things on my list to try are the festive ginger cookies. Though I found most of these items good, they are chalk full of sugar which makes little, if anything, about them nutritious. They are also likely filled with refined sugars too but I'm sure none of us are going to McDonald's for the health benefits so perhaps give these a try next time you're there.

Unfortunately, scope creep was introduced and I ended up looking at well over 2,000 additional rows of data in a spreadsheet that I needed to inject into my work. I clocked 38 hours on top of my regular work hours. My eyes! My dad was sweet to get me lunch from Popeyes one day during this craziness. My growling stomach and eyes appreciated the nourishment and rest, respectively. He dropped by this Popeyes on Bamburgh Circle. I have never been there, but I used to frequent the McDonald's often over decade ago. My dad says that they are next door to each other. My dad got me a four-piece fried chicken meal. It came with a side, a biscuit, and a drink. My dad knows that I like the mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy and coleslaw. He got me the former, which is perfect to dip the chicken (regular recipe and not the spicy) into the gravy. He also got me a Diet Coke. My meal hit the spot. The chicken was crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. I love the mashed potatoes with the Cajun gravy. The gravy has a slight kick that compliments the mashed potatoes nicely. I liked my Diet Coke that washed down everything. It was perfect. The food was delicious and much appreciated. When it doubt, fried chicken to the rescue! (72)

Daily specials are available and today was the Cajun Poutine for $3.99. A drink and/or side (e.g. fries, rice, etc.) is an extra charge. I decided on Poutine rather than chicken just to tie me over even though I love the way Popeyes chicken tastes. Service was excellent as the franchise owner was working the order counter and expediting the order fulfilment. There is a booth & several table seats for indoor dining. Two restrooms are available; one Accessible and both are Gender Neutral. My poutine was hot and tasty. FYI...No WiFi

It took two people fifteen minutes to make it. - Communication to the customer on how long it would take for my order to be ready wasn't stellar. On Wednesday night, after driving home from Mississauga, I felt like a milkshake. Where should I get one? I remembered that the Boardwalk Fries Burgers Shake location in Scarborough that I had visited months ago offered milkshakes. I also remembered this Boardwalk location in Markham. It used to be South St. Burger. Markham used to have two locations. It now has zero, which is a downer. I came here at nearly 9 pm. There were lots of parking spots. I pulled into one and entered the store. The Boardwalk is a combo store with Lava Grill. There is one entrance for both eateries. I walked in. There was a couple enjoying a meal. I was the only person at the order area, which is shared between the two eateries. It took a while for the man at Boardwalk to come over. He was making burgers. I ordered these items: - Strawberry shake without whipped cream - Dubai chocolate brownie I paid with a credit card. Done. Communication is an issue here. This man continued making burgers and fries. He didn't let me know how long it would take to make my order. I wasn't in a rush, but I didn't know that it would take fifteen minutes for two folks to try and make my milkshake. I did like that the press for the burgers automatically came down on the patties and had a timer. I also watched fries go into hot oil and the basket automatically come up once the fries were done. It was also on a timer. I noticed that burger man got Lava guy to make my shake. They both went into the back. Burger man came back to assemble the burgers. Lava guy was still in the back. My guess was that there was some issue making my shake. Again, I got no communication until Lava guy came out to look at my order and told me it would be two minutes. Um, sure. I didn't believe it. I was right. I decided to sit down. Burger guy had finished making the burgers. He went outside. He came back in. His first communication to me was two fingers up in the area. Two minutes or victory?! Five minutes later, I saw a shake come out from the back. Lava guy was holding it. Lava guy took a box with a brownie and packed it in a paper bag. I got a napkin, a fork, and a spoon. He handed me a pretty strawberry shake and my paper bag. I thanked both guys, more relieved than anything, and left. I got into my car and drove home. Despite the wait and the lack of decent communication, the two items that I had were excellent. The strawberry milkshake was yummy. I loved the strawberry flavour. It was creamy and enjoyable. I had the Dubai chocolate brownie yesterday. It was so good. I loved the crispy bits with pistachio cream and a delectable, moist brownie layer. Yum! I'm thinking that ordering online and coming here to pick up my order would be best. This place seems to take its time because it seems to be on its own time. Boardwalk has happy hour deals at night. I may give it a try next time. Here's hoping that communication is better. (190)

Not nearly as bad as the other reviews make it sound, but you are getting what you pay for here…read more This is a no frills Chinese fast food joint in the Metro Square food court. You can tell from the taped over menu that the prices have been slowly increasing over the years - but they're still quite reasonable. The two of us were able to get a good meal for less than $20. I do think they only accept cash, consistent with the other restaurants in the food court as well. We ordered one fried noodle dish ($8.85) and wonton & beef brisket with flat noodle in soup ($7.99). They do charge tax so it ended up being $19 flat. Both dishes also came with a beverage, and I think soy milk is the only cold one without an additional upcharge so we both ordered that. The fried noodles were a great portion - the taste was pretty average. The main flavour is salt! For the soup noodles, it was actually pretty good - they gave 3 large pork and shrimp wontons, and a couple pieces of beef which were tasty and well marinated. I will say that the noodles themselves lacked any real flavour, but such is the case with most rice noodles. I'd definitely get it again for the price. Overall it's simple and fast, don't expect anything mind-blowing.

My first time at Fat Ninja Bite, and it will not be the last…read more Fat Ninja Bite is tucked into a small, secluded plaza but it such a gem of a place that it deserves more business. Service is super friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean and modern. There's also a window table with several high chairs, spacious enough for a handful of people. However, I did opt for take-out for this order. If you are ordering at the restaurant, make sure to pick up your sauces and utensils on the table by the counter! I've been to several katsu places such as Brown Donkatsu and Katsuya, but this one is at the top of the list for sure.I ordered the Dark Meat Chicken Katsu on rice, which is my usual order at these places. The chicken katsu is super crispy and tender - especially with the sauce that is generously drizzled onto it. Each order also comes with a free curry mayo, which is HEAVENLY when paired with the katsu! The serving size is also super generous, I couldn't finish it all even though I was pretty hungry. It comes with a side of coleslaw, although I'm not much of a coleslaw fan so I kind of just skipped it. The rice is perfectly fresh and hot, not at all mushy. I will definitely be coming back to try their cheese katsu on rice at a later date. Definitely do not sleep on Fat Ninja Bite, this place will perfectly curb your katsu cravings!

In 2026, I ordered one delivery from Fat Naja Bite Restaurant via Uber Eats and was dissatisfied…read morewith the experience, especially since the deep-fried pork chop portion was small and extremely thin sliced (the restaurant only offered one thickness option) and tasted even below average; the curry sauce was also ordinary. Other items were average-tasted only. I'm not a big eater, but I didn't feel full after finishing the meal. In short, it's not worth it; it didn't live up to my expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it. By the way, don't believe the overrated score displayed in Uber Eats or other public app reviews because I fell for it!

The chicken was seasoned well, the oil was fresh, the chicken was juicy and the order size was big. The sweet potato fries were also nice and crispy and they came w/ spicy mayo dip as well. The only criticism I have is that anything not popcorn chicken on the menu is quite expensive. The wings and the legs are not worth the price listed. Of all the shops inside this mall, this is the 2nd best one after SOI Snacks. I'd definitely come back to try the whole fried cornish hen. The decor is also an A++. Great graphic design on the wallpaper murals.
