I pick up food for all our dinner parties or just for our own family and have LOVED everything on the menu and we have tried everything on the menu!!! 😁 Great service and very friendly staff!!! Thanks John and all your staff for the great food always!!!🥰
Always fresh, always juicy, the best sauce and the portions are huge! We have catered so many times from Mario's and our guests are always so happy with the food! Thank you Mario's for the quality of food you prepare everytime!
I like my chicken a bit more crispy on the outside. A grill would be a nice addition to their cook line. The potatoes were amazing today. Only bench window seats available if you want to sit in. Overall not bad
Excellent food, taste, quality and portions. The person who runs this business is a young entrepreneur and a pleasant gentleman. Have been a customer for a few years now. Staff is always always nice!
I love the chicken but I had a bad experience. I didn't say anything because I didn't want the young lady to get in trouble. She offered me fresh COD fish but her boss came and told her to just give me the ones on the counter and also I saw she said to give me the Fish from another order that was ready to be picked up.
I have placed a few large (80 ppl) catering orders over the past 6 months. The reviews from the attendees was extremely positive. The quality of the food was excellent. The quantity of plentiful. The delivery was convenient and the price point was more than reasonable. I highly recommend this location for your catering needs.
I rarely post reviews. I am not sure what happened to this place. We bought a whole chicken dinner. I picked it up at 11:30 am thinking it would be pretty fresh. The chicken was so dry. I struggled to pull dark meat off the bone. The potatoes were flavour less. The rice was ok. I hope this is not the new standard.
Upadate on August 20th, 2024. Mario's BBQ is just amazing. Their food is simply delicious and well prepared with lots of great side options. Fast and efficient service. I was assisted by Jimmy, and he was super friendly, polite, and helpful as always. For my family and I, it's totally worth the drive from Guelph to come and get this delicious and amazing food. Their bbq chicken has no competition. Fully recommended 😁😎🤟🏻🇨🇦🍁 NOTE: No matter their location (Mississauga or Oakville)... their food is just great and delicious .
Portuguese snacks are on point!!! A little expensive but delicious.
Love there, custerd tarts
One of the staff members is rude.
Authentic Portuguese chicken, fantastic quality and taste and the best sauce around. Good people running the place too.
Great food
Excellent grilled piri piri chicken. Hot, moist and flavourful and great value for the money. The sides of rice and potatoes were a bit underwhelming. Also really enjoyed the custard tarts. Reminded us of our trips to Portugal. Check this place out!
Food was good just cold.
The food was good now that the SON Jimmy has taken command is not as good and the KID has a terrible ATTITUDE and no Respect for CUSTOMERS
Had been going to Johns BBQ for 30yrs until he retired. Never thought wed fine the same good quality Portuguese food!! MARIOS is top notch and generous portions!!! Highly recommend everything there!! Jim & libby Hopper
Lovely experience
Love Mario s but not this location needs to scale up a bit the potatoes were so blah no flavour and were cold , like they were frozen and left to thaw cook needs to check temperature chicken was good and so was rice . Hoping food improves like the other location by square one because it be a shame So much potential .
Good food, quick service, good price, healthy options.
Always a family fav for the chicken & roasted potatoes. Wife loves the cod cakes & grilled calamari. Food
It was are first time there, I must say it was amazing!!! The chicken was so good and the rice and potatoes were great. I will be going back for sure!!!!
The chicken is tasty and juicy, but the spicy chicken is not very spicy. The sides, such as the roasted veggies and Greek salad are very good, as are natas. What I didnt like is that they still use plastic bags and packaging for all takeout, which really hinders me from going back. The prices are quite reasonable.
First time getting take-out from this restaurant and dont believe Ill be back. Out of all Portuguese style take-outs Ive been to, this one was quite underwhelming. I placed an order for pick up an hour in advance, and when I got there the order wasnt ready. I had to wait for them to package my entire order. The food itself was average, but there are definitely better Portuguese take-out spots worth your money. However, the staff were friendly.
This is one of our go-to places for those dont feel like cooking hosted dinners.
What an amazing manager I had made a mistake on my skipthedishes order. Instead of delivery, I ordered it for pickup. I called the store to explain the buzzkill situation. The manager himself delivered my order despite of me being on a huge construction site amd that it was my fault. He made that delivery and it helped me so I can continue working efficiently! The food is always wonderfull. You cant ever go wrong. My new favourite place to eat from when Im working in Oakville! God is good! God bless! Jah Over all!
Great customer service. First time their, gave me some recommendations Family s happy with the food tastes great will be back!
This is a great takeout place when you want something quick and healthy!
Very happy with the service and food. Staff very friendly
Second time at Marios BBQ, both times food was good and same quality. I am putting their Peri-Peri sauce on everything
Simply the best :)
Great Portuguese chicken
Heard so many good things about this place. After see them on Breakfast Television I decided to go try the Oakville location. The chicken was not cooked fully. Rice was ok as were the potatoes . Ordered 2half chicken dinners, We eat some and threw the rest out . The young girl at the cash was nice.
Amazing Portuguese Chicken. Best in Oakville.
Mario s has amazing food. Great selection of Portuguese cuisine that s almost as good as being in Portugal. It s a small place with no dine in seating but they do take out for any occasion.
The best portugesse food in oakville. especially if you are having a big party.They will love it.
Nice peri peri chicken.
No flavour in the food.
First time ordering from this Oakville location. Totally impressed. I got platers to go for my party. Food was hot, fresh and fish fillets were perfection.
Bad service
Bad attitude
You ruined my day
Have some empathy
Respect drivers too .. treat everyone same
If I could give this place 0 rating I would.
Phenomenal place, took out 1 half chicken dinner, with rice and veggies, so fresh, delicious, moist and so darn tasty. Thank you
I have come here at least 50 times hands down the best Portuguese cuisine and service in all of Oakville.
Amazing chicken, and amazing service!!
Had a party catered and all the food was amazing!!
Had their Family meal #2 tonight for the first time. It was absolutely delicious & great portion sizes. Ill be back for sure
Amazing chicken. Great price.
Great food and very friendly staff, we enjoy their food very often!!!!! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options Parking: Great parking and easy to get too
Best Portuguese chicken! The roasted veggies are awesome as well
Man pork chop food was exquisite, peri peri chicken was insane very yummy in fact; the sauce glimmered in the Sun it was almost like sauce sent down from the gods themselves.
Awesome food #1 food so full of flavour, Juicy BBQ chicken, amazing round potatoes, rice and salad, everything tastes amazing!!! Favourite place. Everyone that works there are friendly and amazing! Vegetarian options: Yes
Honestly I dont write reviews often but this review is well deserved. We chose Marios to cater a lunch event at work and this is the best decision we have made. The chicken was fresh cooked to perfection and not at all dry. The potatoes were the best portugese potatoes I have ever had. And lastly the service was impeccable. The meals were ready on time and with complete accuracy. The pride in which the owners take with every meal shows in the quality of the food. Will I be a long time customer...definitely. They have also gained new customers as well. Truly the best family owned establishment I have visited in a long time. Thank you for everything you do.
Friday two p m no one answers the phone and says Voicemail has not been set up. Is this the right number on google for this restaurant?
Vegetarian options: We had a whole chicken meal deal with large potatoes and ribs, and we substituted rice for the salad. We had a hard time finishing the meal. Food
Awesome food
Food is always tasty and ready fast and friendly service
Nice . Great food. Nice people Great combination. Recommended to all . Great take out food. The chicken sauce is superb. You want some Portuguese food go there. They even have the Sardines.
The food is great but John and Jimmy have always made it fun to come by. Good food and laughs are always great.
Excellent fresh food all the time, great service also
Excellent food, excellent value.Excellent service. The best chicken in Oakville. Vegetarian options: Greatest!
Great service by the young lady and food was excellent Bought again. Great chicken Parking: Lots of space. Just be carefully crossing the road. Its narrow and blind on the one side
I travel from Milton to get Mario s barbeque chicken . The crispiness of the skin the flavour of the chicken , and juicy . It s delicious the staff is fantastic and they have lots of sides to offer.
Fantastic Portuguese food. Truly amazing
Excellent service. Brilliant service and food! Parking: Lots of parking available. Food : 5/5 |
Delicious Portuguese cuisine, paired with an exceptional, friendly team.
Was SOOOOO happy with the food we order. Was amazing as usual. But I will have to say hats off to chef John for absolutely the best stuffed sole I ve had! So delish, stuffed with shrimp, crab and bread stuffing. Topped with a cream and sautéed veggie sauce. Highly highly recommend! 15 out of 10 rating
Food always tasts amazing. Always fresh and the staff is so friendly. Best Portuguese food in the area.
I ordered catering to be delivered for a large work Christmas party and the food was delivered, very hot and right on time. Everything was delicious- the chicken, potatoes, rice, salads and roasted veggies were all very yummy. Everyone raved about the food!! Thank you Mario s Bbq, we ll definitely order from you again!!
Always the best! Great customer service, better food!
We have ordered from Marios many times and it has always been a pleasant experience. Amazing food, great portion size, great price and friendly staff! 5/5 would recommend!
I have been coming to this location for years now and I do not intend to change that any time soon. From amazing food to amazing people behind the counter, I always look forward to my Friday Marios run! This is hands down my favourite establishment with some of the best chicken Ive ever had. I will gladly continue to speed over at exactly 11 AM on Fridays to get my half chicken with rice and vegetables! Do yourself a favour and eat here! (Daniel Johnson).
The chicken and roast potatoes are very tasty. However, the takeout containers are styrofoam, which goes directly into landfill and is a health concern.Other places are trying hard to have compostable containers (best option) and many have recyclable plastic, which isn t great but better than polystyrene. So won t be returning.
Very rude staff. They dont know how to speak. I want to give -5
Food tasty but the young man who served me needs to take a course in customer service. Not welcoming at all. Actually rude. Because of the lack of customer service I definitely won t be going back
Amazing food and service
Disappointed. I liked the chicken but that s it. Sides weren t very good. I usually enjoy Portuguese food, but I m not a fan of this place.
Walked in today with plans to order for today as well as an upcoming family gathering. One person in front of us was ordering. Another person walked in behind us and the counter ignored us to turn her attention to the person who walked in behind. We left and will not return. Shame as we were looking forward to it.
First time trying this place, and was the food ever good. From the moment you open the door wow does it ever smell gooood! I had the ribs and they were fall of the bone! Best potatoes I have ever had- such great flavour!!! Will definitely be going back to try many other things. I would recommend giving them a try for sure.
They need to learn how to talk to people. Especially the one gentleman.
Love the grilled chicken , juicy and tasty. Also the cod fish croquettes are crispy and yummy. Friendly chef and cashier
We picked up some catered foods for a family event. The flavours were great all around but the chicken was dry. The vegetables were a bit over done - bordering on mushy. The potatoes we loved and the portions were decent.
Best chicken around. The sides are all top notch. Great price and value for what you get, definitely drop in if youre nearby
Wow. I tired Mario s for the first time and I loved it. Awesome BBQ chicken and delicious rice and potatoes. I would always drive by, glad I finally tried it. Highly recommended.
All the food is delicious, plus the server was cute :)
Terrible, rude! Not happy
Amazing Food. Cod Balls, Breaded Fish, Grilled Chicken mMmmmm. The Best Cod Balls and Tarts We Have Ever Had!! Chicken, Fish, Roasted Veggies, Cod Balls and Tarts were all Cooked to Perfection. A+++
Amazing barbecue chicken. Love love the roasted potatoes . Thank you guys
The ribs where from the hot table and where warm and one was cold the potatoes barely warm .forget this place
If you re searching for delicious healthy, home-cooked food, you need not look any further. This is my family s go to dinner request when we re looking for something to satisfy everyone s cravings. John, on the grill and Bella at the counter, both know my order by heart. I m laughing as I write this as John also knows the way my kids like the chicken to be cut. The food is always fresh, hot and made to order. It s not uncommon for me to make an appearance here on a weekly basis.
The chicken and potatoes are soooo amazing. The Greek salad needs some work but still my favorite place to get takeout from or Uber eats in oakville
Great food amazing flavours. Great prices. The chicken is not spicy great for the little ones and my son loves the round potatoes super cute and fun to eat. I only have one recommendation and that would be to serve the roasted vegetables hot. Please please I hope you guys change this because your food is amazing. Sometimes I just don t have a microwave to heat it up so I order somewhere else. Truly truly hope you can change this. Thanks!!!!! Vegetarian options: Great roasted and steam vegetables please ask for them to be heated up they don t normally come that way incase you don t have a microwave Dietary restrictions: Great options for vegetarian, my son is gluten free but not severe so the chicken and other non breaded products are great! Kid-friendliness: Chicken is not spicy! Potatoes are round and cute love this for kids
Notice price went up..but the chicken seems smaller...and the container is smaller and the serving is not like it use to... Could be the server... But this is the second time I notice that...
This is our familys stable. Fantastic Portuguese chicken at a great value and taste. We order from Marios for large family gatherings, as its always a hit. They always add a small container of piri sauce to our orders, which we love. Would highly recommend.
Not a great experience. Based on the description and a logo that looks like Nandos or Galitos, I expected similar. The hot Mac & Cheese side was actually macaroni salad with mayo, super disappointment. They didnt have white meat, so I had to get something that I didnt really want. It was not good, underwhelming. The staff were not only awkward, they were very unfriendly while I was being as nice as humanly possible hoping theyd come around. Also NOT wearing masks. HELLO, this is not optional. Sorry, Ill always try to support a business in these times, but this one is a huge fail. Dont be fooled by how the food looks, I thought it looked good too.
Excellent customer service and delicious food
Love the food at Marios Great place always fresh...good portions..if you like Portuguese food youll love Marios.
Exellent food and service!
Can you guys please open a store in Milton?? Every week theres posts on the towns social media pages of people asking for a portuguese food place and bakery here. Please think about it, you wouldnt be disappointed!
Ok so if youre like most Canadians and have a special place in your heart for places like Swiss Chalet and love to celebrate on special occasions with their famous nothing else is Swiss chicken.. then dont eat here. The food at Marios BBQ is phenomenal and you will most likely never enjoy another chicken spot I guarantee that. So eat here with caution as its highly addictive. Im pretty sure my stomach just smiled
Yummy chicken. Taste better than other Portuguese chicken
Best chicken in Oakville
The food here is amazing but poor customer service. Some employees can be rude.
Delicious chicken, sauce and lots of sides to choose from, even French fries for the little ones. Generous servings. Friendly staff!
This was not great, reviewers need cooking lessons. Would not recommend to anyone sorry but was not impressed for spending $40 on lunch
Great food with generous portions.
Rude behaviours by the staff, if you are serving someone, served with smile rather than showing them attitude.. people are spending their hard earned money not asking for any favours !! Change in staff
Sides are superb - grilled veggies, Greek salad, potatoe balls, fava beans mmmm ... Chicken is a round-of-the-mill roast chicken with poured over piri piri hot sauce. It really looks like someone grilled raw, unseasoned chicken and THEN poured the sauce over.
Dont go to Marios Chicken. Complaints will not be heard or acknowledged. They will just argue with you and never admit any faults. Go somewhere else for your chicken (such as Nandos or The Portuguese Chicken Guys - you will get wayyy better service). Good food wont make up for horrible service. What ever happened to the customer is always right? Doesnt exist with them. I talked to the owner and he is a horrible human who has no respect for his customers. He basically told me never to come back if Im not happy. I will gladly never EVER go back and I suggest the same for anyone who reads this.
Delicious food. Bella is fantastic!
OK chicken, but find it dry sometimes. Price is a bit high for what you get, we experience the chickens to be a bit small.
Consider yourselves warned! Read the other reviews and re consider getting your meal from these guys. Everyone that works here including the owner is super rude, super condescending and simply have zero customer service skills. Clearly not the only one that thinks this way, many people below also had the same experience I did, the food is nothing special and overpriced, they re chickens are super small and dry most times. Sides are boring and basic, absolutely nothing to them, there s some many better chicken restaurants in the area, think twice about supporting Mario s.
I went there Sunday oct 4 the staff and owner /cook and girl at the front were not wearing masks although I don t have any issues with the food or staff living in a pandemic should have better precautions when handling cash then touching food the virus is airborne as mandated by the premier all public spaces should be masked even if you say you test yourselves every day won t be going back very disappointed the screen is probably your next response but that doesn t stop water droplets from going on peoples food protect your customers and not only yourselfwent again year later owner was wearing one mask the blond girl serving blatantly not wearing it properly over her nose guess nothing will change there
Average taste
Had the rib dinner combo there. The ribs were quite obviously boxed grocery store ribs with way too much of the packaged sauce. The roasted potatoes should have been billed as stewed potatoes. Had to throw out the vast majority of the food as its taste and consistency were absolutely disgusting. Please avoid wasting your money there.
Delicious chicken. One of the best ones I ve had in Oakville and even the gta. Very friendly staff
Great bbq chicken
We usually order plain chicken there (mild one), it is always decent. Main thing we love about the chicken that it is not soggy/wet, but perfectly grilled (crisp on outside and soft inside). Today in the evening there was no wait time at all, we walked in and bought it, quick and easy. Thanks! ;)
Really good Food is great. If you order ahead of time, they pack the food when you get there to keep it fresh. Keep that in mind. Please open a location in Milton
Dosent compare to the hurantario location bunch of young kids running the place dont know what there doing.
Their chicken is so tender and their sauce is full of flavor
So happy to have Mario s in Oakville. I ve been going to the Missisauga location for years.
We loved the chicken. Well cooked and still juicy. The skin of the chicken is well cooked. I usually dont eat the skin, but in this place the skin is delicious.
If you like tasty chicken this is a great place to visit, also the staff here are friendly
Super tasty food
Love this place! There really isn t a lot of Portuguese restaurants in Oakville and Burlington, and don t let the name fool you it s not just chicken they have delicious fish and veggies even fava beans. I m usually not a fan of piri piri sauce but they make theirs a little creamy which is really nice and different. We used to have to go all the way to Missisaga to get Portuguese food now we go here. I do still wish that we could find even more traditional Portuguese restaurants in the area where I could get my salted cod, but this place is still very amazing.
They have vary good take out. Great chicken!
I spent 4 months living in Portugal last year, so I know authentic food, and I can say this is the BEST Portuguese grilled chicken this side of the Atlantic. The food is always fresh, theres never a long wait, and the service is friendly, professional and efficient. I especially like the very tall and handsome blonde gentleman who works behind the counter. He is SUCH a hospitality professional. 5/5, highly recommended.
The best food
Food is excellent and service was great!
The food here at Marios is some of the tastiest takeout in the city. The combination of the chicken amd sauce is top notch. The salad and potatoes are a perfect side.
Good taste, good price, good. service
Not only too Much friendly staff but amazing as well as delicious chicken and everything too.
Super bad attitude. I already ordered online and paid. When I went to pick up, still asked me to stay in line and wait. So bad experience!
When people onder online which means they dont want wait in the car, they want pick up right way. So can you be nice to your costumer? If you keep fighting with all the bad reviews, your restaurant will shut down soon! I gonna tell all my family and friends far away from your place! We spent money for food and happiness NOT for listening to you teaching us how to order!
Great food, great value and amazing service.
Under cook chicken!!
I was surprised to see that no employees at the Oakville location were wearing face masks. It s the basics of safety and good customer service these days! Specially when handling food! I like the food but not risking eating from there again.
Very disappointed to see that not one worker was wearing a mask,or wearing gloves and I should have walked out but felt bad however wasn t smart because someone could have easily passed the virus on to me within their employees. They clearly aren t taking Covid seriously or the health Risks of their employees or customers. Food was good but service wasn t great, owner lied when I asked employee if fish was fried recently she said no but owner stepped in and said it was done 10 min ago which was clearly a lie. Makes me nervous to go back. Disappointed beware
Sooooo good !
One stop my favorite home
Excellent food
Very large portions for some very delicious food at a very reasonable price.
Great prices! Chicken was delicious, not dry. Got the potato side and that was also delicious. Highly recommend
Fresh food, nice guys
This place is amazing. Great customer service, friendly staff, food tastes great and very reasonable pricing. 5 stars from me! Keep up the good work guys.
Excellent chicken meal
Great chicken - they do catering for small gatherings/parties and it was really easy to setup, affordable, and everyone loved the food.
Delicious food, huge portions and friendly people. Side note: the fava beans were especially awesome! Will be back for sure thx guys
Wonderful fresh authentic Portugese dishes...chicken excellent as well. Very affordable
Great food, catered from here very good value.
Went here twice now around 6pm and asked for a chicken sandwich. Both times i was told they dont have. Mind you they close at 8pm. Dont put it on the menu if you dont have it or are too lazy to prepare it.
1st time customer. Placed order online for 6.45pm pick up. Arrived at 6.40pm and they had not even received the order. Waited 20 minutes past pickup time. Garbage service. Best to call in your orders
The chicken here is tasty and savory. I think mario has the best rotisserie chicken in oakville.
Great place to eat. Chicken is always cooked right with lots of flavor. Staff is friendly and always gives u sauce when asked.
The service here is beyond unprofessional! Spanish guy has no manners and he s rude to costumers.
The food is amazing. The Spanish guy is so friendly, he provides great service and speaks and understands English .
i was a frequent customer till they missed part of my order. was asked to pick up the side next time i placed ANOTHER order. i agreed. placed an order a few days later in person and reminded the owner of my missing side and that to be included since i did pay for it! he went rude and defensive all at the same time. left feeling embarrassed, i paid for the order and was on my way. Never again.
Absolutely love this chicken. Had it for thanksgiving. Catered to 20 people The potatoes were also delicious.
very bad service a spanish guy understands nothing never back
