    Harvest salad + salmon!
    Steph L.

    Appropriately named, "The Bistro on Main" is a cute bistro located on Main Street in Milton. This bistro is different than other eateries since it is cafeteria-style service but with moderately-priced delicious meals. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. There were gluten free options (even for sandwiches)! As for the bistro itself, the decor was simple and they had comfortable lounge couches by the front window. We had a large group and called ahead to have an area set aside for us. The menu has a great selection of healthy and hearty items at very reasonable prices. There are menus on the tables and a chalkboard displaying brunch specials and other items. Orders and payments are made at the cash register located in the back. Water glasses are on the side and it is self-serve. I opted for a healthy entree and ordered the large sized Fall Harvest Salad. It was HUGE! Mixed greens, buttered pecans, dried cranberries, apples, and salmon. The pecans were salty, sweet, and crunchy and a great combo with the plump cranberries and fresh apples. The salads were priced at $6 for a small, $9 for a large, and you could add blackened chicken or salmon for $3. Fantastic value! I want to come back and try their 5-Cheese mac n' cheese! For $11 dollars they had a version with bacon or with crab meat. Or maybe I'll try the grilled cheese crab melt for $9! Most of the extensive sandwich list ranged from $8 to $9 and came with the option of fries, or sweet potato fries, salad, or rosti. For dipping, they had a house ketchup that was a bit sweeter than usual. Overall, I was very happy with my meal here, especially the way that they handled a large group. The food was fantastic and the service was friendly.

    Had a nice soup and sandwich lunch here. I'm not giving full stars because the decor of the place leaves something to be desired and I can't say the food completely wowed me. Very chill spot, wasn't busy, service was quite good. The quality is surprisingly good because honestly the place looks like a very run of the mill café. I really enjoyed the soup (red pepper and tomato bisque) and had a club sandwich which was very standard but nice. My son enjoyed the fries (McDonald's type fries - yummy). Their gluten free options are an awesome touch, my husband had a sandwich on gluten free bread and was impressed. Overall, would return if in the area for a quick lunch. I did try the coffee which was fairly disappointing although not terrible. Next time i would probably give their crepes a try as those looked delicious !

    New to town so been trying to check out new restaurants. To be honest, name made me underestimate this place..but was definitely surprised! Food was great quality. My brother had the beef dip with frites..delicious!!!! Bread was fresh and everything on the plate was so good. I had the soup and salad..soup of the day (curry pumpkin pear) and spinach salad (pear and Brie) - again awesome! It's order at the counter..which is fine. Place is cute and cozy..DEFINITELY recommend!!

    Simply put, I thought it was amazing, it defiantly not fast food but it is good food. So if you have an hour you want to put aside for lunch or dinner, this is an awesome place to take friends or family.

    Pear brie spinach salad with candies pecans- awsome

    We dined here last night. I have been here many times before and have been happy with everything I have tried. Atmosphere- This is a quaint little place with a sitting area complete with couches and reading material right at the front window. The rest of the seating is bench style. There are some pillows but they do not really help comfort wise. There are chairs with these tables as well so I would say pick one of those when you go. You order at the counter at the back and they bring it to the table. There is a self serve water station with glasses ( love it!) Food- My table had the following: 1) split pea and bacon- excellent review. Very tasty and lots of bacon. If you like bacon ( lol.. who doesn't) 2) pear, brie, spinach slad with candied pecans- I have had this every time I have come because it it just that darned fantastic. The dressing is home made fresh, light and sweet and the pecans are so good I wouldl ove to buy a whole can of them to snack on at home. 3) sweet potato fries- crispy and good served with a nice aoli sauce with a tad bit of heat. 4) french fries- just a little thicker and better tasting than McDonalds. 5) phily steak and cheese sandwich- on a panini- Looked, smelled and my friend said tasted delicious with a capital D. 6) chicken BLT- Really good with a nice mayonnaise. 7) Grilled crab and cheese sandwich- Lots of crab + lots of cheese = excellent. For dessert 4 of us shared apple cheddar and caramel crepes( because 1 is really too big to eat alone after a dinner) - Everyone thought this was the erect ending to our meal..Yum Service- I wish this place offered full service but it is what it is. The waitress dropping off and picking them up was very pleasant. I know I will be back.

    We ordered here through Uber eats. It was prepped on time and came within the time frame indicated…read more The pizza was a bit on the cold side when it arrived however the poutine was still really hot, probably because of the gravy Food: we were craving comfort food and ordered the classic Angus burger, large poutine, onion rings and a medium size Margherita pizza. Burger: with the toppings we chose it tasted just like McDonald. It was delicious and there was plenty of toppings like pickles and hot peppers Large poutine: this could easily feed 3-4 people as a side. It was a big on the salty side but it really hit the spot Onion rings: they were still very crispy even despite it being delivered. Also very generous portion Margherita pizza: we ordered regular crust and it was delicious. The price was right and the flavours were really nice.

    Worst costumer service I have ever experienced. Pizza took 1.5 hours to arrive. Cold pizza. Worst…read morepart the owner is very disrespectful to his costumers. No explanation as to why pizza is late, besides "it's Valentine's Day what do you expect" hangs up the phone on you. When asked for an update where the pizza is - he says I'll call you back and hangs up. Never calls back. End up calling for a third time to find out what is going on. His attitude is poor and has no respect or appreciation for anyone. Just appalled at his attitude. Hopefully you can reflect on the way you treat your customers and learn from your mistakes.

    My go to shawarma place!This is as authentic as it can get in a quick eat restaurant environment…read more So this location is central located with lots of parking unlike the one in Mississauga.Plus they always have a lunch special which is a wrap and drink all week long. I have personally chatted with the owner and he seems very friendly and mostly on the floor making the wraps and other food items. So my fav here is the chicken shawarma wrap with tons of fresh veggies, a bit of garlic sauce and humus.The chicken here is not very salty which I like.the quality of the wrap is good too unlike may places where the wrap tends to be very hard and chewy. Overall it's a clean little joint with decent amount of seating for a pita place.The price is right and the ingredients are fresh.And yes it's delicious. I do end up eating here at least a couple of times a week and each time I walk out happier than before-very consistent.

    I ended up at this restaurant on a whim as my intended destination was the restaurant next door,…read morepopeyes but the service there was so lousy (save the rest for a popeyes review) I decided to take my business to the nearest restaurant which is what landed me at pita and grill. I was surprised to hear that this place had been in business for over a year because the inside looked very much like they weren't finished unpacking or setting up the dining area. The restaurant doesn't look like the place to sit down and enjoy a meal, so I wouldn't recommend a date night here, but for takeout it isn't bad. Now on to the food. It's almost 11pm while I write this review and I am still thinking about the schwarma I had for lunch at noon. The flavors worked so well together, with just the right amount of heat. And the chicken was melt in your mouth. I paid $6.49 for a schwarma and a can of pop. I would have been happier if the price was a buck less since this wasn't the biggest schwarma I've eaten. I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars because the app doesn't allow half stars, otherwise I'd have given it 3.5. The dining area isn't very inviting and the schwarma was on the small side, but boy did it ever taste good!

    Facility: Located inside the Best Western Milton (it's the restaurant of the hotel). Pretty…read morestandard but basic decor and atmosphere. Food Quality & Price: We went down for breakfast in the morning and debated going to the Tim Horton's instead. Had it been just the two of us, we would have opted for fast food upon seeing the price ($14pp - "All you can eat breakfast"). Food was horrendous. You had your standard hotel scrambled eggs and bacon (probably the only edible things on the menu). French toast was soggy. Had trouble cutting through those cardboard pancakes, sausages were rubbery. Coffee and tea were "self-serve. Seriously, I nibbled on the scrambled eggs and the day old fruit because nothing else was edible. When I was hungry enough, I decided to go get some cereal. My options were Fruit Loops, Vector, Special K and Raisin Bran (what?). I went for the Fruit Loops. And of course, they were old and stale, so no go. I paid $14 + tax to graze on scrambled eggs and a few pieces of fruit. Service: Waitress took one look at my full plate when she cleaned the table and ignored me. She asked everyone else if their food was fine. They all mumbled "yeah" and moved on (other patons were elderly or overweight, or both, so I have no idea what kind of food they're used to settling for). When I voiced my concern, waitress asked me if I wanted to take a tea to go (what? why? How does that make up for anything?) Overall: Possibly the worst breakfast I've ever had in my life. Blech. Had to leave and get some Tim Hortons to make up for it. I wouldn't pay $5, let alone $15 for that horrid experience.

    Since this is conveniently located at the Best Western, we decided to have breakfast at the hotel…read morerestaurant. Since it was a buffet we certainly got our moneys worth. Now there are not too many items but they are the right items. Your typical pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, toast, fruit, home fries and a selection of pastry. It was pretty good, and the ambiance is good too. Not only was it decent food we certainly liked the pastry and that seemed to top it off just nicely. The service was friendly, and the price is in line with most breakfast buffets. It would be nice to have a few more items but i cant complain about what was there. While we were there we also noticed that they do catering also. So a quick check of their advertising online perked me up because if i need catering i wouldnt mind giving these guys a try for that also. If I'm back in the area, i would be more than happy to have breakfast here again.
