    Exterior at night. Patio in front.
    Michelle L.

    It's a little surprising to me that there are 2 Wimpy's within a 10 minute drive from each other. The one on Rylander has probably been around for 20+ years. This newer one is located in the Whites Road Center plaza. There aren't a lot of late night eats located in Pickering. It seems like everything that isn't fast food closes around 9pm. Wimpy's is open till 11pm and serves all day breakfast as well! The menu has a lot of "American" type classics - pasta, burgers, and sandwiches, on top of all the breakfast foods. We called and ordered 1lb of garlic parmesan wings and the chicken and waffles. We were quoted a time of 12 minutes before our order was ready. We showed up to lots of parking around 9pm in the plaza. They do have a patio outdoors but it's absolutely frigid so you know. After you enter the double doors going in, there are tables blocking off the rest of the restaurant. There was a TV listing out their Covid precautions and hand sanitizer around. A server came out to greet us here. The inside of the restaurant is actually really cool. Aside from that diner feel with the retro tables and chairs, the art around the walls is a mash up of old school icons (think Elvis and Marilyn Monroe) with comic culture. When I say mash up, I mean like Superman is IN the photo with Elvis. It's really unique. They had a really great system for payment. The server took out a fresh plastic bag and covered the terminal, protecting the server and us! Our order was packaged in biodegradable paper boxes or sturdy reusable plastic boxes and in an easy to carry paper bag with handles. I appreciated their commitment to being environmentally friendly. In terms of the food, I really enjoyed the wings. The chicken pieces were on the larger side of things I've seen. The breading was thick and crunchy. The sauce was cheesy and garlicky without being super saucy. Very tasty. They come with fries and I was able to upgrade to a poutine. There was a lot of gravy and real cheese curds on the poutine. The only thing were that the fries didn't really stay together very well. They were very starchy. As for the chicken and waffles, the waffles unfortunately didn't do too well and transit and were a tiny bit soggy. The chicken pieces were fried chicken breast pieces without bones. I thought the seasoning in the breading was good so it wasn't just a fried piece of chicken. There was some real flavour behind it. Overall I was really impressed with the quality of the food, the safety precautions they were taking, and the cool environment of the restaurant.

    Their breakfast was really good. They also have a breakfast special that only $6.99. Great price. Service was okay a little slow but the food was good.!

Ryan is the founder of the business, which he runs with family and friends. We got to meet Riott, his son, who had a love for skulls and all Halloween decorations at this eatery. This place specializes in sandwiches. Many of their meats are slow-cooked for ten hours. Sauces, soups, and slaw are homemade. We ordered many items off the menu and had what we liked: - Jalapeno and house slaws - Chickpea and ham soup - Roasted garlic and tomato soup - The Brooklyn (Italian) - Hot corned beef - Montreal smoked meat - Slicey's chopped chicken - Chicken club wrap I started with the hot corned beef sandwich. The corned beef was generous and so flavourful. The rye bread held all that tender corned beef together, along with the best grainy mustard aioli. I am a soup girl. I enjoyed the roasted garlic and tomato soup. It had the perfect amount of garlic with tomatoes, along with onions and spices. It was a comforting, smooth soup. The chickpea and ham soup was excellent. It had nice cubes of ham with chickpeas. It was so hearty and delicious. I also love slaw. The jalapeno and house slaws were crunchy. The former was creamy with a touch of heat. The latter was vinegar-based. You get the best of both slaw dressing worlds! I then had the Montreal smoked meat. It was full of the most tender smoked meat on rye bread with mustard. So good! I'm not sure how I managed to down Slicey's chopped chicken sandwich. It was so good that I did! It had slow-cooked chicken that was chopped with tomato, and red onion. It included the jalapeno slaw, along with white cheddar. It was messy to eat, but so worth it. The flavours were outstanding. This business supports other local businesses. The bread comes from a local bakery. It also features Purple Tongue hot sauces. Staff are super friendly and kind. They can craft a sandwich to your liking if you go with The Riott. There were two separate washroom stalls. I used one of them before I left this eatery. It was clean. No complaints. It's a comfortable place to hang out with friends over good food and drinks. I ended up having a Diet Coke and Crush cream soda during the two hours that we were here. They were cold and refreshing. It's street parking for three hours. It's free, which is nice. Alternatively, there is a parking lot across from this eatery. I look forward to returning for more good eats and soup. It's a gem of a sandwich place that happens to have awesome soups and slaw. (391)

The husband and wife team were working away behind the counter and young Ryan was spending time with his family and his toys; Genuine wholesome service. I spoke with the owners and they shared that they always enjoyed supporting local sandwich shops, but after their favorites closed they decided to open their own. I love that . Bread is fresh daily from a local bakery. Depeding on the day they can sell out of items but that just speaks to popularity and freshness. We ordered a bunch of different items and split them all. Sandwiches are loaded with bright, fresh toppings. I also LOVE that they support local and even have my FAVORITE hotsauce in store. Purple tongue. I highly recommend adding the cilantro lime to any sandwich. It compliments them so well. The Brooklyn (Italian) Hot Corned Beef Montreal Smoked Meat Slicey's Chopped Chicken Chicken Club Wrap Jalapeno & House Slaw Chickpea and Ham Soup Megan's Roasted Garlic Tomato Soup The Italian was definitely a favorite and the Slicey's Chopped Chicken was so incredibly tender. The tomato soup was quite flavorful and another fan favorite for our group. There's lots to see in this area, so we even went for a stroll after our amazing luncheon .

They're well packed with ingredients, and cut in 1/2 if you want to eat 1/2 and save the other for later. Cute deli decor. While it's mainly take out, there's a small counter to sit at if you can score a spot. Nice side options if you want to make it a meal (pop and chips). You won't go hungry here!

    Wowowow I'm so impressed…read more Lambo's Deli does sandwiches right. The moment I got my sandwich, I knew. From of the nostalgic paper bag. A sandwich that's packed TIGHT is packed right. No mess, no stress. That is serious business. The best part is, the ingredients taste so FRESH. As we were waiting, the friendly staff offered everyone free ice cream samples. It was 25°C sunny so it was much needed. No one refused! They're testing out flavours, so I think we will expect to see soft-serve ice cream on their menu in the near future! I got the Caprese sandwich and the fresh mozzarella was so refreshing! Geniusly, there was a layer of breadcrumbs added to my sandwich, which I found very humorous... b/c really? A bread byproduct inside of a sandwich? That was a first for me. But y'know what, the crunch element over the mozzarella was a really good pairing and it works! Also, the pesto was so fresh and good.. that I had pesto on my mind the next day and I just had to find something pesto for lunch again, the influence! Honestly, we did not have the intention of visiting Lambo's that day. We had walked past it on the way to another restaurant, but I remember this corner store with bold modern-80's decor caught my eye. After our original plans fell through, we stumbled back to this street corner which turned out to be a fantastic accident because we wound up loving Lambo's so much, we swore to come back to try the rest of their sandwiches!

I was thrilled to learn about Grandma Loves You (GLY) opening its first location in the greater Toronto area. It's in York region in Aurora. Woo hoo! A few Yelp experiences at GLY's original location in Rosedale made me love the sandwiches and croissants. It has since moved its flagship location to Yonge and St. Clair, and has opened a few more locations. I have yet to visit the one near St. Lawrence Market. Someday, I'll get there. In the meantime, I had to visit this brand new location and made my way up here two Saturdays ago. Out of all their stores, parking here is the best. It's free. It's straightforward. It's easy and stress-free. There were a set of stairs to get you to and from this place. I was hoping that there was a ramp for those who need a wheelchair somewhere. I didn't see one. I got here at around 2 pm. It was pretty busy. My original plan was to dine in. It looked like I had do takeout. I had the most helpful, sweet woman behind the counter. I wanted a meatball sandwich, which is my favourite. I was rusty ordering it. She guided me through everything. You can get their sandwiches that are like subs in either a 6" or 12". I went with the latter. She said that there was a seat just behind me. There were more like lounge chairs. I was down nabbing a comfy chair. I also got a Diet Coke in a can. I needed something to wash everything down. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. She asked for my name and would call me when my order was ready. The best customer service occurred when this woman brought my sandwich to me. Wow! It was such a kind gesture. I thanked her and then tore through it. Oh, how I love the meatball sandwich! So many meatballs were packed into this sandwich. Each meatball was yummy and juicy, with the perfect amount of sauce. The lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese pulled everything together with the most perfect bread. The Diet Coke was in the fridge next to where I was sitting. I grabbed a can. It was cold and delightful. Before I left, I got a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie to go. Starbucks used to offer this cookie eons ago. I don't know why the franchise took it off the menu. It was awesome. Well, this cookie was delicious and make me forget about the Starbucks one. It was packed full of white chocolate and macadamia pieces. It was just under $4 after taxes, but so worth it. I used the washroom before I left. There is only one stall. It was clean. but expect to take turns using it when it's busy. I am glad that I finally visited this location. Welcome to York region and Aurora, GLY! I'll be back for more. (398)

But overall super yummy; just wish it was bigger. Also loved the addition of the pickle! Really needs the pickle! 4.5/5 Then came the croissant with chocolate and banana. Very good but enjoyed the breakfast sandwich more. 4/5 Overall it was great and definitely want to try more.

The patio was perfect for the day we visited and they had love acoustic music. We ordered the lobster flight to split, were given a buzzer and told it'd be about a 35 minute wait. It was nearly a 35 minute wait down to the minute! The rolls were loaded with lobster that was cooked perfectly! My boyfriend liked the Connecticut roll best (just buttah) and I liked the Olcott Fire roll best (calabrian chili butter); the New England roll (lemon chive mayo) ranked last for both of us. We did not think $36 was a crazy high price for the trio. There is an extra charge (I think it was 3.5%) for using a credit card. Cash is king!

There was a long line waiting to get inside. Luckily it was a beautiful day & the crowd around us with friendly. Once inside our order was taken & we went out to the patio to wait for our food to be delivered. Again a bit of a wait. On to the food. Their speciality is lobster rolls. We ordered the lobster roll flight. It included the traditional New England roll, a hot Connecticut roll, and the Olcott Fire roll. This way we were able to try them all. They were loaded with huge chunks of tasty lobster. No skimping here. All worth the long wait!. My advise, try to avoid the busy main meal times. Or just sit back & enjoy your time near the lake while waiting. 2025-63
