The Big M - Pickering, Ontario

Was curious to try Big M because of the high ratings. Came by on a weekend and it was super busy. We got 2 steak sandwiches, fries, fish and chips, and milkshakes. The steaks were cooked really well in my opinion, about 1/2' thick, medium rare (as requested), tender, and cut ... just right. The whole sandwich is about the size of a Whopper so a bit bigger than your average burger. Sadly it didn't taste like it looked. Very bland and seemed like had no seasoning at all. Little bit of salt and pepper would've done wonders. I don't know if it's always like that or perhaps maybe because they were busy. The steak sandwiches were $16.50 each + .50c per topping which for the taste, seems overpriced. The fries were overcooked and hard. :-( Again, not sure if it's typically like that or perhaps we stumbled in on a not-so-good day. The fish were alright, like the frozen fish fillet we get from Costco. Milkshakes were great! For 3 people, we spent about $84 NOT including taxes. I would hesitate to buy from here again but glad we tried it (although my wallet will disagree LOL). The service was fast considering there was a long lineup. Total wait time for food was about 12 mins. Read more

Big M’s has one of my favourite regular poutines in Durham. The large is also a really good size for sharing making it great value I was upset to see that their accessible parking spot was full of dumpsters, and resulted in needing to park in a near by parking lot. ... That isn’t really acceptable, nor should it be next to the dumpsters either. It is simply disrespectful Read more

A place to bring the kids or a date. Your food can be enjoyed an outside picnic table. The atmosphere is a throwback to older times, classic cars, and milkshakes. I ate the steak on a bun with light sauce. I paired it with a Mountain Dew, a beverage that is ... not found in many places. The girls at the counter were very pleasant and handled the large order of 10 people with many modifications and zero mistakes. Read more

Always friendly, always fresh, and honestly this time I came back for the 30th time in my life for just the onion rings. I mean, the burgers are always top notch, but I was craving rings today 🤷🏻‍♂️ Apparently they have a supplier that drops a fresh batch off for ... the day every morning? I love that. They’re incredible and I love supporting local. The more I was eating them and thinking about it. I’ve had rings, but not really like these - in the best kind of way! 🤔 Keep it up ❤️ Read more

They have the best burgers,onion rings and fries around. Food is always hot and well made and the staff are very friendly. We’ve been coming here to eat since the 1970s and they have always been great. Best food for Durham region
