Family owned and run pub in the heart of Pickering Village. This place looks like a small house,…read moreand you will definitely feel at home when you walk in. Lots of regulars here - it's a true neighborhood pub. If you frequent this place, the owners will remember your name, and what you like to drink and eat. The patio/deck has been renovated for Covid restrictions and is good, even in the colder weather. It's covered, heated and quite comfortable. In the summer, it's a great place to enjoy a beverage and get some sun, or hide under an umbrella. The menu is not expansive, but has surprising variety and includes such items as calamari, edamame, antojitos along with sandwiches, wings, burgers etc. All the food is super fresh and very high quality - burgers are fresh, never frozen, Cuban sandwich is hearty, and the club is just delicious on the brioche bun! They even have a Vegan burger on a Vegan bun. Oh, and drinks. The Guinness is always fresh since they serve to much! Last summer, they got the Bees Knees drinks (it's a Killer Bee with an extra shot!!). Your glass will not go empty with the fast service! Highly recommended. We will be back there are soon as the restaurants re-open!

I had the fried shrimp sandwich (on a separate menu) and my partner had the fish and chips. The food was definitely pub food. I enjoyed my sandwich a lot but it was massive. I had to take the shrimp out of the bread. The fish and chips was reportedly also good. Service was prompt and prices were reasonable.

It was also the special at Mackenzie Pub in Ajax, every Friday - only $12.95. This was a reunion of sorts with friends from high school so having a drink with them was appropriate. A shot of Appleton Rum with Coke was my drink of choice. Service for our group was very good, not always the case at some places I've been to. No orders got mixed up, used plates and glassware were cleared efficiently. Good service, good food, very reasonable prices. What else could we wish for?

When I lived in Cambridge, I would drive by Fionn MacCool's in Kitchener and wondered what it was…read more I assumed it was just a pub, but the outside looked so classy with rich colours and clean lines, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I've long since moved back to Durham, so I set my eyes on the Ajax location. We headed over for lunch on a Saturday. The sun was shining and the patio was calling us! After a look at the menus, we were delighted to see that they had brunch until 3pm! That sealed the deal. My man ordered Our Original Benny and I chose Brekky Pie. Even though we hadn't eaten breakfast yet, we couldn't resist ordering a pint. The been menu was impressive and diverse. I tried Shock Top and he tried Red Stripe. He LOVED the eggs benedict. He used all of his homefries to eat ALL of the sauce. His plate was clean in record time....and then he started eating MY homefries. GRR! My Brekky Pie was delicious. The pastry was flaky and tasty. The scrambled egg inside was full of fresh veggies an Guinness bratwurst...holy crap. I'd like to try those brats alone, because they were DAMN good. The service was great and did not hesitate to offer suggestions when we were unsure. I really liked this place. It had a great vibe. I'd like to try more of their food and beer selection! It's nice to see that pub food doesn't only consist of nachos and wings!

Our evening on their spacious patio started with some refreshing cocktails - Tequila Sunrise, Grand Thai Tea, and Sparkling Mango Mint. They looked good and tasted great! We ordered the Sharing Platter to start, while we decided on the rest of our meal. It included chicken tenders, onion rings, garlic cheese fingers, pickle spears, carrot and celery sticks, and assorted dips. It was all good! For our main courses, we got a bit carried away. Everything on the menu looked really good and it was hard to choose so we ended up with Fish Tacos, Triple Decker Club Sandwich, Chicken Cobb Salad, Buffalo Chicken Pizza, Fajitas, and the Kids' Burger. Everything tasted great, with the fish tacos, cobb salad, and fajitas being our favourites. If we weren't so stuffed, we would have tried their desserts. Next time. With good food and good service, we'll definitely return!

Visited Gabby's for the first time. The food (sweet chili thai chicken wings, hot honey garlic and…read morehot chicken tenders, fries and sweet potato fries) was all very good. The beer that was served to my friends seemed to be fine but my diet coke was flat unfortunately. We had a trainee server which might have contributed to our bills being completely messed up but we just paid them anyway...no biggie. I thought it was odd that we didn't receive an actual bill. However, we could see what we were paying for on the payment terminal if we asked. They missed an opportunity to share a QR code or ask customers to submit a review...but I'm submitting a review anyway.

Based out of an old Bank (with the Bank Vault still present in the back for private parties), the atmosphere was not a dark pub of old but updated to be classy, clean and suitably modern. The service was friendly right off the bat, we didn't wait longer than 15 seconds until we were greeted and seated. The wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu and the specials, making some good recommendations when asked. They were very enthusiastic about what they were serving and I can see why! The food was delectable, delicious and hit all the notes. I was looking for a good pub and I found an excellent one! I tried the burger which was juicy and perfectly cooked. I shared the California sandwich as well and I can't decide which one was better, it was a very tough call. When I'm back in Whitby I will definitely return.
