Service is quick, Staff is friendly, Especially the owners younger son , He is very courteuos with customers at all times, Excellent customer service. The chicken is prepared to perfection full of flavour and usually never dry like other places. Ill be back soon Thanks!! read more

Beware the Restaurant section. It has a totally different menu from the Takeout which BTW is the only bright spot here. Myself and 3 adults and 2 kids were refused service here when we sat down in the near empty restaurant at 2:30 on Fri afternoon. We already had lunch previously and just wanted 4 collard green soups and a calamari dish. We were told we had to order main dishes otherwise we would not be served. Because of this we left and spent no money here. Seems to be a ridiculous policy to refuse paying customers in the middle of the afternoon because we did not want full on main dishes! Servers and management need to revise their attitude in a very competitive environment if they want returning customers. It takes years to build customer loyalty and only minutes to lose their loyalty. read more

We always call in before we pick up Cuz the line during lunch hour can get really long at times... The potatoes are really flavorful as well... Good choice for dine in as well... read more

Mario's Bbq - Perfectly marinated chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Okayy so coming here on a Saturday was a bad idea for getting take-out here....go figure We went to the back of the restaurant to get some good Portuguese chicken to take home and ended up waiting about 30 mins for it...which was understandable that it would get busy on the weekends. When we were ordering the owner of the store took our order and was getting it ready but when we asked for sauce for the chicken, there was actually no more. Which was again fine, but she didn't ask if i wanted another type of sauce. Soo When we got home we ended up eating dry chicken...yummy? That was the only thing that ticked me off about this place and the long line-up thing. Other then that it was not bad, the potato balls were really good and the chicken was really good too except kinda dry because there was no sauce...insane! Next time i come here i will personally make sure we get some sauce for that chicken, i mean it. read more

This place is something that I have been meaning to try for so long. And since I finally gave in and went this month, I have actually craved their food and went back again within the same week. The place speaks for itself, if you wanted a good seasoned grilled chicken, veggies, potatoes or rice...definitely come here. I find that they are generous in their serving and its inexpensive as well. Just a little annoyed that beverages (i.e water bottle) can be expensive now a days, even in restaurants/takeout like this. There are a few seats if you want to dine in but customers seem to do take out more. Service is friendly and straight forward so no issues at all. read more

Not the best, but not the worst. The food is a good "middle" quality Portuguese chicken restaurant. I find the grilled chicken is better than their rotisserie. however. I gave it a 3 star because the service is poor. They make you wait even longer than you have too to take your order and I find the lady owner can be very rude to the customers. read more

The chicken was amazing and so reasonably priced. I ordered half a chicken (7$) and it was tender on the inside and charred and crispy on the outside. The hot sauce was the bomb. A small tip is to order the chicken hot. They will give you the piri sauce without mixing it with the grease that they call "mild sauce". I once ordered medium and they mixed half grease half sauce to apparently "milden" the sauce. Plus, the piri sauce is not hot at all tho. So take the "hot" chicken instead of med or mild. Service is not that great, is like "pay, take food and leave". The place is small with sucky ventilation so pls do take out if u dont wanna smell like grilled chicken for the rest of the day. Def coming back. Bang 4 the buck. read more

Mario's Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I love Mario's BBQ. Ever since they were a little take out place on Dundas which has now turned into a money mart. Their food is delicious and flavourful. Prices are great and the portions are way more than what you pay for. Im so happy they launched their own piri piri sauce in a bottle because it is mouthwatering. I truly believe their food is a good reflection of Portuguese BBQ. Highly recommend to anyone looking for catering, a quick bite alone or for family! read more

I went here to pick a rotisserie chicken and potatoes. As I came to the cashier to put in my order I asked for the rotisserie chicken. It was 5:30pm and the guy told me they ran out. I asked how they ran out so early and why? The guy answered that the previous customer took the last 3 and that they haven't made any more. He also told me that rotisserie takes an hour to cook and the grill takes half that time, and that's why they have more grilled. So I had to settle for the grilled chicken. I took it to my grandparents house who are Portuguese and know they're Portuguese chicken lol. They said it was really good and we're definitely satisfied with the chicken and potatoes as were I. All in all, the food is great but the customer service not so much. Being the only reason they get 3 stars. read more

Their famous ckhn and sauce is amazing. You got to buy the sauce and put that s*** on everything!!!!!! If you are in sauga and you gotta eat here!!! read more

Mario's Bbq - Half chicken with steam vegetables - Barbeque Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

tried the one in oakville the portions were huge, great value for money, full of flavour, absolutely destroys nando's. There used to be a portugese chicken place in the trafalger village but it closed down near on 10 years ago, its great to see that style come back to the town. I will definitely be back. read more

I don't like chicken ... but the Portuguese chicken at this place is truly the best. The chickens are roasted using coal hence giving a natural roasting flavour. A great place to get great food on a busy day. read more

Best Portuguese rotisserie chicken in Sauga.. tried all the other places in the surrounding area and nothing's juicy like this place. After discovering this place we would come everyday for a chicken dinner. (it's no joke when you find something you really like!) They nailed their recipe down! Half chicken, Potatoes and rice are never a let down. I've been here 20+ times and it's never not been good. 5 stars just for consistency and bang-for-your-buck food. Price is great for what you get. If there's a line up of customers, they usually clear it up pretty quickly. Wait times are minimal during busier hours so I've never had to call in for a pick up order because their service is always quick enough for walk-ins. Their hot sauce is like a mild buffalo sauce but it's good on everything. I LOVE it when the chicken is charred and the skin is crispy. There's a slight saltiness in the skin which I just love!!!! There are other side dishes to choose from like zucchini, Mac and cheese, and other veg.. most times it looks freshly cooked and not just frozen veg which is great. There are also custard tarts usually available and pork sandwiches which I haven't took a risk on trying yet read more

Food is so good, some times service so so , but is OK, I will always go there the best chicken place in Mississauga #1

If you like Portuguese BBQ chicken this is the place to go. I haven't actually eaten in the restaurant but I try to get take out from there whenever I can. They BBQ their chickens to perfection and their piri piri sauce is out of this world; we usually get a tub of their sauce so that we can have it on everything. The place loses a star because of decor and location. One of the other reviewers described the decor as being ghetto fabulous and I can't really disagree with that. In fact it's located in the heart of the Mississauga ghetto. Having said that it's Mississauga so it's not that scary just remember to lock your car when you go pick up some truly awesome chicken. They have other stuff on the menu but it's all about the chicken. read more

After my experience on Sunday, I will never spend another cent in Mario's BBQ. The woman who runs the place has no customer service skills what so ever. She's was completely arrogant and ignorant to myself and the other customers who were waiting for their food. Not only that, but I ended up waiting about 45 minutes for my food to be ready, to be told that they ran out and I could only get half of my order. They should be more organized considering its such a busy location. I truly believe that the woman who runs the location should re-consider how she treats the people who spend money at her location. I am not the only one who feels this way. The word has spread about how poorly the customers are treated at Mario's BBQ. I have found another Portuguese restaurant right around the corner that knows how to treat and keep customers . I will be sending them all my business! read more

Always great. The food is reasonably priced and properly cooked. Chicken and potatoes are great - and great to pick up when you have a group coming over. Service has always been good every time I've gone in. I need to get here more often. read more

This is the best place for Portuguese food in Mississauga, the chicken is perfect and the staff are friendly.

I have been coming to take out here for 30 years. The first location on Dundas and the second location on Dundas And now on 10. They have never disappointed me. read more

I dig this place. I should mention that I have only ordered take out from this restaurant. My only complaint is that the line up is a bit insane. I think it's because the food is awesome for the price they charge. They have THE best potato balls ever, soft, warm, filled with flavour. Be sure to get some hot sauce because the hot sauce at Mario's is so good I could drink it on it's own. read more

Mr Mario, if I could meet you I would kiss your forehead for blessing me with the taste of your piri piri sauce. 1/2 Chicken Dinner = Half of a GOOD SIZED chicken and two sides (I opted for roasted potato's and veggie mix). Lets just begin by saying that for years, I have been really health conscious. I would plan meals, meal prep, and worked out 5 days a week. Hence, the reason for my big love of roasted chicken. Chicken is Chicken, which is mostly dry when roasted with dry rub. Regardless, the chicken is as delicious as can be, perfectly salty just like I like it. Potato's were nice and plumped, not salted but oven grilled to perfection, veggies tender. For 10 bucks, I cant complain, its honestly big enough to feed two. read more

See all

When I first visited this restaurant I had high expectations since I have gone to other Portuguese bbq places. I order the quarter chicken dinner with rice and potatoes and I was disappointed. The chicken was dry and some of the potatoes lacked flavour and one of the rice grains were still solid. I went back a couple months later with a friend and I ordered the same thing and the food was really good! Went back again a few months after that and the food was dry again. I find it's just inconsistent cause when it's was good the flavours were great! Consistency is read more

Mario's BBQ is my new place of choice for Portuguese chicken dinners. Tastier rice, better potato balls, and more chicken. The hot sauce is A+ and can buy full bottles of it. Good meal for $10 read more

I love the food and customer service at the Hurontario location. The location near Heartland should take some tips.

Picked up some food here this past weekend. Burnt potato balls dry rice. Chicken was meh and they give less sauce. Not surprised shame on me read more

One of the most flavorful Portuguese chicken situated in the heart of Mississauga! Perfect dinner solution whenever you don't feel like cooking. What you get for the price is ridiculous! The rice, chicken and potatoes goes together so well..Must ask for the piri piri sauce, it makes the meal that much better! read more

I go here every other Sunday with my friends. Some of the best chicken I've ever had is served here. Always get the chicken dinner with a side of potatoes and fava beans, then smother the fucking thing in their AMAZING piri piri sauce! Never have I left there without polishing off my whole dinner. As well, that piri piri sauce is so good that I eat that shit with everything!!!! read more

My girlfriends and I decided to dine-in at Mario's this Saturday, a first at their new location in the plaza. We used to love their chicken and sides,even ordered party trays before for parties but the recent experience has my friends and I vowing to never come back. I ordered the 8oz steak. My friends ordered the 12oz and two ordered the bbq chicken with fries. We also shared an app of calamari. The calamari was NOT fresh, it was chewy and rubbery, like it's been sitting in the back of their freezer for YEARS, defrosted in the microwave and fried. The steak was swimming in an oily gravy was salty, the steak itself was salty, and the egg topped on top was actually nicely fried. The same with my friend's steak. The chicken dinners were just passable, not how they used to serve it up in their old location. The mountain of french fries on all our plates were horrible, stale and dry. And left untouched. Despite a small table of four, poor food and service, they auto charge gratuity. We just shook our heads, took it as a loss and poor choice, and left to continue on with our night out. Once we left, I started to feel queasy and 10 mins later driving to a bathroom, I vomited the whole meal. My friends didn't feel that the food was sitting right either but no one else puked. My friend that had the 12oz steak had woken up at 3am that night and was throwing up on and off until the morning. Both my other friends had digestive problems the next day. Real shame since we all grew up in the area and used to enjoy their food. read more

We love going to marios for a quick chicken purchase. The staff is very friendly they will add some Piri piri sauce to your chicken and cut it all up for you. They send it home with you in a nice little thermal bag to keep it warm. Just be careful because the sauce does start to leak out after some time :) read more

Great chicken, good sauces. I've never had a bad experience and highly recommend it. Portions are big sizes, prices are reasonable. I just wish they were open longer, as I find their hours are short, after a long day at work. read more

I have been going to this place for years,ever since the store was on dundas.let me tell you .the chicken has got worst.you order a whole chicken and you get two halfs one half has a big leg and a small breast as big as a twoonie and no thigh.the other half has a small leg and a big breast.is it just me or are these chickens on steroids ? Ps potatoes are good read more

I mean there food is alright unless you have the piri piri sauce. Every time I go in there and try to order something they always take forever and I feel like the people are being racist. They never give me my piri piri sauce when I order the family special and its suppose to come with it. Not impressed at all. read more

We've only had take-out from Mario's but the chicken, potatoes, rice and hot sauce are amazing - such good value for the money. I would give it five stars if the young guys were always serving as they are quick and very polite; however, the wife and another girl are a different story though. One time the wife gave my husband a container of rice rather than his chicken dinner; he had to go back to the restaurant and she didn't even offer up anything for the inconvenience. Also, we ordered a bunch of food last weekend for our dinner party and they forgot to put the hot sauce in the bag - what's the point of having the chicken without the sauce ... otherwise, as I said, delicious food though. read more

This chicken is delicious, the rich is amazing the the potatoes are to die for. The salad is always fresh too. This place is great for catering, dine-in or take out, can't really go wrong. Good friendly atmosphere, I suggest anyone that hasn't been here go check it out! read more

Their new location is nice; food is great and reasonably priced. We order trays for our office luncheons and everyone loves the chicken & sides!! read more

I live in Toronto and passed by Sauga for a professional training. My home area is lacking in good BBQ chicken places so I am always looking for good Portuguese places. Mario's is pretty good. As usual I get 1/2 chicken with rice and potatoes. You can never go wrong with this choice. As for quality, I can't think of anything special to say. It's just...good. Great portion, great prices, great taste. No complaints from me. I'd go again if I'm in the area. read more

The gold standard in Portuguese chicken. You want the best, just come here. The level of attention and dedication these guys have to make sure they put out the best product is what sets them apart from everyone else. I heard a new location is opening downtown soon! read more

Chicken grilled just right. Soft, just enough juice and flavourful! The Piri Piri sauce makes anything taste amazing. I keep coming back for more. read more
