Updated review Feb 2026. I came here for late Valentines day dinner. The restaurant was packed. We waited about 10 minutes to get a table. The appetizers are half price after 9pm. We ordered the surf and turf 7 oz top sirloin and lobster tail $25.99 and the mesquite bbq chicken sizzler $15.99.. Both dishes provide excellent value. I was impressed with the sizzler plate the flame grilled chicken breast was spot on and the grilled red peppers, onions, broccoli and carrots complimented the dish. This would do well as fajitas. The steak and lobster was cooked to medium rare and the lobster tail was tender. The only negative was the calamari. They needed a couple more minutes in the deep fryer. The breading was a bit soggy for some of the pieces. The server was friendly and checked on us regularly. Overall it was a good experience and w3 enjoyed our mains. If you're looking for some decent food and great value, definitely come to Chuck's Roadhouse. read more

We went last month to Chuck's Roadhouse in Ajax We were suggested to check this spot out for their half-price appies after 9 or during happy hour The spot is your typical sports bar Lots of TVs with the game on Fairly loud Our server was quick and prompt throughout the evening No issues at all there Unfortunately the food was not that good The bruschetta had too much balsamic on it The mozzarella sticks were meh and the sauce that came with it wasn't that good The only thing I enjoyed was the onion rings which were really good I didn't have any of the sliders as that's what my hubby ordered He liked them I probably won't come again for the appy offer Could have been better read more

We went this past Friday to Chuck's We went for the after hours appys They are 1/2 price after 9pm Their appy hour The spot was busy on a Friday It definitely has a sports bar/casual vibe There was a Jays game on so that's likely why it was busy We ordered from the appy menu for our meal We ordered the sliders, mozzarella sticks, bruschetta flatbread and the onion rings Meal was okay We loved the onion rings and sliders The flatbread wasn't so good and the mozza sticks....thought the sauce that accompanied them was ehhhh Maybe I would try something different next time ....but could have been better read more

My partner and I, along with another couple, visited your restaurant. We have dined at this location many times before as mentioned without issue. We were respectful, quiet and paid our bill in full, and tipped appropriately. Our original server ended her shift and asked us to settle the bill which we did. We then tried to get the bar tender Ashley's attention. She ignored us. When she finally came over to us and without any prior interaction with her or explanation, she refused to serve us further when we attempted to order another drink. This was both confusing and humiliating, as there had been no inappropriate behavior on our part to justify such treatment. At first I thought it was because the bar was closing at 12 because it was good Friday, but she said no they close and at 1 and then proceeded to tell us that the liquor control board audits the bar and you are only allowed one drink per hour. We said we have never heard of such a thing , when we questioned her she told us we are no longer welcome and we are banned. We are all professionals who work for the City, the Government and Law Office we did nothing to warrant this treatment. In fact, it looked like she was trying to close early and perhaps this is why she said this. She was also serving a table beside us (which were her friends) -more than 1 drink per hour. What made the situation even more concerning is that we were the only two interracial couples in the establishment at the time. While I cannot definitively state the reason for the refusal, the circumstances raise serious concerns about potential bias or discrimination. We left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and completely shocked--especially as professionals in our late 40s who have never experienced anything like this before. When we were leaving, I saw our original waitress and asked her if there was a problem with our table she said no and we told her what happened and she said "Oh Ashley does that sometimes because she wants to leave early". Horrible experience as a black woman. read more

Staff is exceptional! Had the two chicken breasts meal. Was so. Good and at a great price.

First time at this location. I ordered top sirloin steak with fries Had a Guinness draft to start, it was bitter and not cold enough. The same everywhere though recently for Guinness, probably not a fault of the restaurant. For the steak though, it's fresh but very tough meat, had to chew a lot, felt like I was eating a well done steak but I ordered medium rare. The colour of the meat was right so I didn't ask to have a other one, figured it's the quality of the cut that's not up to par. Not many people in the restaurant so it was quiet enough for us to talk without having to raise our voice. The corn really had no flavour, maybe a hint of butter on the very bottom, other locations were more generous on the butter. I had to add salt to the corn. I don't think I would come to this location again. read more

Chuck's Roadhouse - 7oz sirloin steak dinner medium rare. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Chuck's Roadhouse was a nice place for appetizers and dinner. The food and service are good. The only negative is the parking, it seems the shopping center can get busy and parking becomes scarce. read more

Looking for something completely average? If Chuck's Roadhouse was on Tinder it'd have a 50% right swipe rate.. Still probably a higher swipe rate than me but that's my problem. Honestly the food isn't bad, but it's nothing memorable either. The pricing is incomparable to other spots though, it's like they have happy hour at all times and when the do have happy hour - it's even more amazing. Since it is patio season, I definitely will be back during happy hour to get my fix of bar food and $4 beers. Overall, Chuck's is a decent place to hang out for a drink, or two. If the food quality went up, it'd be a go-to spot. read more

Stopped in to this Chuck's Roadhouse location for dinner. The wait time for a table was very reasonable. The inside of the restaurant was clearly very well kept and the staff were going above and beyond to make sure the guests had a good, safe and hygienic experience. I ordered: Top Sirloin & Lobster Tail - $20 7oz steak with a thick juicy lobster lobster tail. I asked for the steak cooked medium, and it was done perfectly. I substituted the fried for a side Caesar salad, it was creamy and delicious. I also ordered a side gravy for the steak which I highly recommend doing. Everything was delicious! My bf ordered: Ribs & Wings - $14.99 He substituted the fries for mashed potatoes, and got a side gravy as well. It was a lot of food, definitely worth the price. Our waitress was great. I can't remember her name, however she was the only waitress working all tables that night, and even though restaurant capacity is much less, she was still friendly and efficient while handling all the tables by herself. I would definitely recommend this location of Chuck's Roadhouse, and I will be returning. read more

I had come here intending to order wings and a salad but the steak menu is so darn tempting, even though my last steak was overcooked. Where else can I get a 9oz Ribeye, 10oz Top Sirloin, or 13oz T-Bone for only $14.99 (with fries and corn on the cob)? I gave in and ordered the 13oz T-Bone medium-rare and added on the all-you-can-eat Garden Salad for only $4.00. What a deal! I also ordered a 12oz glass of beer for $3.00. Yesss! The salad arrived first, in a large wooden bowl. It was a very generous serving. There's no way I could have seconds. Great value. The steak arrived before I was finished with the salad. It was definetly thicker than the ribeye I had last time. It was also seasoned better and they nailed the temperature on it, medium-rare. Mmm, this was a good steak. This was definitely a better experience than my last, and worthy of a review update. The prices are cheap! Or are they? They have this thing called an Honest to Goodness Fee where they automatically add 3% to your overall bill. Huh? What? Why? Why not just add the 3% to the menu prices? This strategy artificially makes the menu prices seem lower. In the overall scheme of things, 3% may not seem like a lot but the concept is suspect. That 14.99 steak now becomes 15.44 and I would probably still buy it at that price. Would you? If the government proposed a 3% increase in taxes, we'd be screaming and rioting. This fee is pretty much the same thing. That's my opinion. Taxes and gratuities are still extra. Hmmm... read more

Average food but I really like the 1/2 price off appetizers after 9pm deal. It's such a good deal and I like how they open late as well. Food is mediocre but for $6-8 a dish it's acceptable. Service is also okay. read more

This location is pretty good, the food has that traditional pub/bar taste. They price their food at a cheap rate considering what they are. They have all you can eat salads for $10, half off appetizers after 9pm, & even deals on pints of beers considering the sporting events trending. Their staff are relatively friendly depending on who you get. When they are busy, expect to be neglected or feel the need to repeat your order to them so you can actually get it. read more

Chuck's Roadhouse - Their nachos - it's good, but basic - Steakhouses Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

See all

Really bad service and the restaurant could use a good cleaning. The tables weren't wiped down and there was dust on the top parts of the booths. When the waitress took our order she had both of her hands all over the table and was leaning in way too close for comfort. She didn't even bother to write down the orders, so as assumed things were messed up. Food came out burnt and over cooked, we ordered the nachos and the cheese and chips were so burnt and I ordered a steak rare and it came out medium well). When I showed the waitress she just walked away (no apologies whatsoever) and came back with a plate and put it in front of me and told me to put my food on it to take to the back. I don't understand why she couldn't just bring the entire plate to the back. ANYWAYS, when the steak came back it actually tasted worse and the nachos were no better. The lack of care with the staff was really apparent, which is unfortunate because I came here once before and it was such a good experience. I honestly won't come back after this experience. read more

The food took WAY too long to be served on a Thursday night (~45minutes) but this is just about the best "value" steak meal you can get anywhere. For only $20, you're looking at a 7oz top sirloin and lobster tail combo (with corn on a cob and fries) and for $15, you can get yourself a 9oz ribeye, 10oz top sirloin, or 13oz T-bone combo! Given the price, set realistic expectations of what the meal is going to be like - the quality is acceptable but nothing more. Take it as it is and come by if you're looking for a place to grab cheap beer and steak. read more

Note: this particular location had only been open a week. My wife suggested this place and a way to support a new business in the area. The place was packed and the waiting area was too small to contain all of the eager customers. We, thankfully, arrived just ahead of the rush. We were promptly seated and had time to browse the menu and were ready when our server took our drink order. I had the roast beef sandwich with fries and a French Onion soup to start. My wife had their burger with fries. Dessert was their coconut cream pie. The soup arrived quickly but was stone cold. The cheese hadn't even melted. It took me 5 mins to flag our server to tell her the problem. I waited another 10 mins to get my soup (hot) just ahead of my main. The server apologised and said the kitchen was still ironing out the bugs. Ok. I guess. The rest of the meal was decent. However, swell of waiting customers was getting too much. Between the noise and two brats who just couldn't stay still and her running around. It was getting intolerable. At one point the father grabbed his youngest son and said, "Stop F@&)king Around!!" Then again it was a Thursday night and after 7:00 pm. There were other places near by that were more kid friendly. Suggestion: avoid being seated anywhere near the front door. The dessert was very good. The menu for the desserts are all under $5.00 and priced just right for a shared end to the meal. The roast beef sandwich and burger were very good and we will be back to try more of the menu without the romper room side show. PS We went there again this week. Suggestion #1: if you order the nachos. Please ask to have the sour cream, guacamole and salsa on the side. If not it will be plopped on top. Suggestion #2: Do not order the Buffalo Chicken topping. A waste of money Suggestion #3: Unless you like cold custard avoid Chuck dessert. The hot apple or banana cream pie are the better options. read more

Went to Chuck's tonight for dinner tonight, the waitress handed my husband 1 menu and took our drink order. My husband asked what they had for domestic beer, she said I don't know what that is I think Coors Light, no biggie he ordered a Coors I ordered a martini. We then ordered the $20 Lobster and Steak off the menu, we were asked if we wanted loaded potato with it, we agreed (no mention of up-charge for potato). Meal was ok at best, my drink tasted like cough medicine. The bill arrived and our $20 meal was now $25 and loaded potato was $2.50 more each. I asked why the price of the meal on the bill was different than the menu and the waitress apologized saying sorry some of our menus still say $20 as the steak and lobster were a special during COVID. Sadly we won't be back, not the best experience! read more

Waited 25 minutes... okay, it's new. Order drinks...wait. Drink comes with lipstick print... nasty. Bill comes... tea not deducted. Don't go here until they learn how to run a restaurant. read more

I loooooove the way they make quesadillas. And a virgin Shirley temple to drink:) I think all the girls are so nice and someone's always cleaning the bar or checking to see if you need anything. Fast refills on drinks and quick to bring the check. I love it here :) read more

Great place! Tasty food and good service! Very reasonably priced! Love it! My favorite is the roast beef dinner. It's a winner. Lots of flavor and generous portions! You can get unlimited salad added to your main for about $4 or $5 which is a great deal. read more

Came here a couple of times, prices and food are pretty decent. Once me and my partner went on a tuesday, and they were having a rib special in their menu, me and my partner had already ordered steaks, but was feeling like trying the ribs, when asked the male waiter to place an order of ribs, he asked if we would like to replace one steak dish for the ribs, we decided to just keep both steaks and add the ribs and have leftover to take home, but the waiter told us that we were not allow to take leftover ribs home as they were "on special". That was somehow upsetting as we were paying our dishes and is to our decision if we decide to take our food home or not. More upsetting it was to see the couple that was sitting across the table to have their unfinished rack of ribs taking home. read more

Won't be back. Chucks claims that the extra charge to your bill is becsuse it cost more to serve good quality food! Well than they better look into getting a new supplier! It would have been better quality food from the hot section of my local grocery store and cheaper too. read more

Ok, since discovering this place I've been several time now. This chain has to be the best deals in town for drinks and food. Where else can you go to get a $4 pint and a $6burger with fries? That's cheaper (and far better tasting) than a combo at McD's. They have daily drink specials, like $4 pints every day, $6 Schooners, $9 pitchers, on other days, Food: great prices and tasting pub dishes. I've had most things off the menus and have not been disappointed. Steaks are another fantastic deal, t-bone, rib eye and porterhouses are made to your liking and come with a side and corn on the cob. Great place to grab a pint, a bite and catch a game. read more

Came here for dinner with my sister and food is alright. They do need to have more vegetarian options and price is reasonable such as their surf and turf is $20 but i don't like how they have some 3% goodness charge extra on the bill (plus tax and tip) which doesn't make sense. read more

First time to Chuck's Roadhouse in Pickering, I had a very bad experience. But want to try it again in Ajax. Wow what a difference then the first time. Food was great!! Shirley was my server very friendly n care!! Highly recommended to Ajax one for sure!! read more

Chuck's Roadhouse - Skinnylicious sirloin steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Okay so I've been mulling this one over for a little while. The prices are the lowest I've ever seen, but that's when they tell you that you get what you pay for. First time ever went here I would have the ribs I got no sides not even the dry old corn on the cob that they offer with every meal. I have the two for one coupons that's why we thought would give it a shot I know they are new. That's why we went 4 times before I'm writing this review. I realize they're new we gave them a shot potentially next summer when we come back from Florida they make it one more shot the consistency is not there if I'm watching not only my food going back but the tables that are around us going back that's not a good sign. One of the managers explained that is chefs were from Belleville or somewhere in that direction will that's fine I'm sorry but if your Chef you should be able to operate in any kitchen not just the one that you're working in now. That's what makes a chef a chef. I have to give it a two and I'm being very generous at this point I want this place to be my go-to place and it's not going to be I'm very disappointed for that because their prices are reasonable their wine is reasonable. The young lady that's always at the front counter that the hostess I'm not even sure what she's doing there I'm going to assume she's either the manager's daughter or the owner's daughter because she's definitely not doing what she's there for somebody like that that is standing there flipping her hair could be going in wiping down tables and that includes the edges young young folks because people like to spill stuff on the edges of tables and there's nothing more gross and getting up and you have slop from the previous customer on the front of your shirt. As I said the menu and the prices are fantastic definitely have to work out the Kinks potentially will give it another shot but consistency is key and if I can't walk in and get the exact same consistency for the exact same item every time I walk in. The problem. The ribs were okay but they baked the barbecue sauce on top of it as if it was like a meatloaf so it cracked and it just not right. Work through the Kinks and we'll give it another shot until then it's a two. read more

Unfortunately my family and I had terrible food tonight. We were all starving and looking forward to our delicious meal that turned out to be horrible. The burgers were so over cooked and dry, chicken fingers were rock hard my toddler couldn't even eat them and the quasadias were hard as well. We were so disappointed with everything. We are regulars and have always enjoyed this place but tonight was not great. Don't think we will be returning anytime soon. BTW this was a takeout meal. read more

Newer staff than last visit - very friendly and much better service - hooray Have had many items off the menu to date - all good, great prices and worth a visit - if you are after 9pm great menu deals !! Always cheap beer read more

Horrible experience Got sat and after 15 minutes still no one even came to take our order. 3 tables were sat and taken drink orders and no one even asked us if we had been helped. Just left! Horrible! Will not be going there again. read more

Food is good. Service is great and beer prices are unbeatable. Best beer prices I've ever seen. 5 bucks for 30 oz beer Tuesday's. no one can touch that. Steak is pup quality... it's not the Keg... but very tasty and much cheaper than a Keg. Great spot. read more

Service staff were so friendly and happy to all the customers and to each other. It was a great environment. We ordered cheesy garlic bread, a streak dinner that came with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob and a mushroom Swiss burger (I added bacon to that) that came with fries. The burger might have been a tad on the dry side for me but over all the meal was good and the value was great!! Check it out! read more

I just finished having lunch at this location we had never been before and I can tell you that I will never be back. I had the chicken and rib combo and my chicken was like paste the ribs were tough.. I don't think I have ever even seen chicken that is so mushy the only thing edible were the fries. Our waitress however was pleasant Will never go back!!!! read more

drinks are dirt cheap....like a pitcher is $11!!!! wth??? amazing . Food is pretty good just stick to your typical pub food and you are good. I got chicken fingers and salad and i loved it! my friend said the burger was over cooked because she wanted it cook medium...but you cannot be too picky here since the food is so cheap . i would for sure be back! cheap food and cheap drinks. bonus is that they have a patio read more

Worst place ever. Steaks came out cold and rare (we ordered med rare). I asked them to please just touch it on the grill; it came out well done. Worst was - it was my birthday which I told them. I ordered a long island iced tea. It was soooo sweet and tasted like a powdered mix. After just a sip I asked if I could please get a martini instead. They brought me one alright...one with a HAIR in it! She offered to replace it and that one came all cloudy and gross. We ate our meal but it was awful. They didnt even offer to comp the drink - I had to ask. Then in top to pay that 3% surcharge. Do not waste your time. Awful customer service...awful tasting food read more

The worst of all the Chucks I've been to, and I've been to many. No wifi ( it's 2019), they are always understaffed, the ones that do work there are miserable, and we had to wait over 15 mins between waitress visits. The Pickering location is close by so avoid this location if you can. read more

If you are thinking about going to Chuck´s Roadhouse in Ajax for dinner or lunch, think twice! Worst experience ever! Waited in line for half an hour, when we finally got a table, the drinks took another 10-15 minutes, after an hour of waiting for our food, we asked the server and she said we were still 6th, or 7th in line, Not an apology or even a glass of water offered.So we decided to leave and got up and asked to talk to pay for the drinks and talk to the manager, host asked him to come and he didn´t, the second time she asked him, he said if we wanted to talk to him we had to go where he was. Obviously we left. No customer service, no server service, just a crappy restaurant, and this is not the first time the same happened to me at the same location. Can´t see them in business for long! NEVER GOING BACK! read more

I honestly tried to give this place a chance. I was excited to try it, and actually drove 25km to get here. I was really hungry, because my last meal was 10 hours beforehand. Unfortunately it was a bust! I ordered the T-Bone steak cooked Medium. It took a while but not that long considering it was relatively busy. When it arrived I cut into it and started to eat, only to be amazed that my supposed Medium steak was actually Rare. So I told the waitress and she took it back to the kitchen. A few mins later my steak arrived again slightly charred - but still rare inside. This time I was very hungry and not too happy, so I showed the manager. He apologized and said he'll take it off my bill. I explained to him that my intention wasnt to get free food - I was hungry and wanted what I ordered but I'm tired of sending it back and forth. A chef in a steak roadhouse should know how to cook a steak?!? So he took it away again. I waited for them to bring me another but it never came. After waiting a while I asked where my steak is - apparently they thought I didn't want it anymore and would rather stay hungry and go home on an empty stomach. The server and manager were very nice about it all, but it's quite substandard for restaurant chain to make such mistakes. Either way, I'm about to go home hungry and find something else to eat, lol! read more

I never normally take the time to post, but I am making an exception. Several months back when we were finally allowed back into restaurants I wanted to have a great meal with my wife as we had an excellent experience at the Chuck's in Pickering and the food was excellent. However, we were so disappointed with the Ajax branch that now my wife never wants to go to the chain again. Both our meals seemed like 80% salt and 20% meat. It was not a good experience when you were looking forward to another excellent experience. I think chefs do that when the meat is old and they are trying to hide that fact. Not good for business. read more
