Big M Drive-In in Pickering is a great place! Tried it for the first time, and the food quantity and quality were awesome. It’s so clean, the food’s tasty, and the employees are super friendly. I got the grilled chicken on a Kaiser bun with onion rings. The onion rings were big and thick, though I probably wouldn’t get them next time. But I’ll definitely be back for the grilled chicken burger!

The poutine is a must try. I called 15min before arriving and placed an order and it was ready on time. The gentlemen on the phone was honest about the poutine size and did not try to upsell me. Would definitely go back and recommend to my friends and family.

The chicken souvlaki was so good! Very well portioned and great flavours! The onion rings however were huge and unfortunately was too much batter/doughy, felt like i was eating funnel cakes lol.

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.

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 ❤️

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

Well this place is simply awesome to say the least and I can’t believe it’s taken me this many years to discover it. Great location and set up, the service was awesome and the food was phenomenal. It was a tad pricey for a Burger joint but the portions were big and the quality was on point so it’s justifiable. Quite possibly one of my favourite burgers around now and the onion rings were amazing too. I’ll definitely be returning again some day to try out some of their other items whenever I take a visit out those ways and I’d highly recommend you give them a try as well if you haven’t already 👌🏼

Edit Aug 17, 2024: Ridiculously slow. So many staff and yet it took our burgers and fish and chips over 20 minutes to get. Original review: I've eaten here 3 times since moving to Pickering. And I'm sorry to say that I've been disappointed with the food every time. The staff are superb. The service is excellent. Everyone is friendly and helpful. But the food is subpar and overpriced. The burger meat has no flavour and depends on the toppings to make the burger taste good. The fries are greasy, not crispy and tasteless and the gravy is overly salty. The onion rings are huge but the batter had little to no flavour as well. On my most recent visit, I ordered the chicken fingers and they were too expensive and not worth it. Same problem, no flavour unless you add ketchup or plum sauce. For a place with the reputation of Massey's I expected a lot more. 2 stars for the food, 5 stars for the service.

I had their burger and poutine not long ago. The poutine gravy was too salty making it not very satisfying unfortunately. The burger seemed like an averagely good burger, no complaints there. The customer service was great and the ambiance was a nice diner vibe. Many people I know like coming here to eat and that s great, maybe my next experience will be better.

I honestly never knew of this little gem, and its no suprise why its been around forever. Food portion size was huge and all tasted great. The staff were friendly even when it was so busy, which tells me they are used to being busy and thats a good sign that the place is successful. I understand why after receiving our food. I sort of wish there was more indoor seating however that would be my only gripe. I will be back.

Fries were excellent and plentiful, burger was ok. IMO needs more salt precook and allowed to rest a bit before going on the bun. Meat tasted good, atmosphere is as retro as it comes! Bit pricey though.

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.

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 Wheelchair accessibility: There was only one accessibility spot, and it was at the back next to the dumpsters, which covered the spot.

This is a classic Pickering spot for burgers. Hard to miss this place while driving down Liverpool road towards the boardwalk. The staff here are great and very welcoming. I ordered a burger and fries and it was quite delicious. Fries appear hand cut and taste great with gravy. The burger is not bad, but not my favorite. It takes like a well made burger from a backyard BBQ. Would I crave their burger? Probably not. But if youre in a rush and just need a well made burger, this place probably wont disappoint.

Please be careful reading your bill. We ordered something but after we paid thought that it was a little too high,so when we received our order we asked for the invoice. After checking it we realized that the order was what we wanted but the bill was more than we order. The cashier put the correct order but charged us for more. The food is good but be careful when paying.

This place might not look modern or fancy but wow, the food is amazing. The lady that took the order was very nice and polite, what a change to see nice service. You dont see politeness and kindness any more, what a difference. We ordered souvlaki on a pita and M Burger. Souvlaki were wrapped in a pita with feta and veggies and not overpowering sauce, a great amount of chicken, it was just perfect. This is definitely my new place for souvlaki. The M Burger tasted fresh, and juicy, and the french fries were fresh, crunchy, crispy. Best food Ive had in a long time where everyone is cutting on food but increasing prices, it is nice to see that there is still a little place worth visiting if you want to have a good meal on a busy day.

Went there with my best friend cause we saw a Tik Tok ranting and raving about how amazing it is. People there are really nice, service was nice, food was pretty quick which is expected as we went on Saturday before 5 so its not like we were at rush time. But the restaurant had a beginning of an infestation happening at their windows of these flying black ant looking bugs. My biggest issue with this place is still now (Monday) both me and my friends stomachs are unwell to the point of not being able to go to work. Food was mid, nothing wowing. We went on Saturday just before 5 so its not like we were at rush time.

ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST BURGERS OF ALL TIME! It cost more than a few bucks but the quality, service n PERFECTION of the FooD is off the chart! Id go higher than 5 s IF I could itd be 9 s out of 9 s, 9 s because 9 is the most Powerful Number there is, FACTS !!! EVERYTHING My Family has eaten there has been mind blowing n stomach filling... Its hard to finish everything to be honest. But its Sooo good You stuff it in!!! They have 4-5 tables inside to eat n a patio with picnic tables to eat at with overhead umbrellas to sit n eat under... The BIG M, The Original Burger % % %!!!!! Across the board!!! Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome n treated well. Great food but youd have to look at their menu on the website to see about the kids menu. My kids are too old n too young for that menu. But My Lil Girl ate some of Mommys n Daddys Burger n fries n She ate it uP like She was having blueberries. My Son killed the burger n fries like We dont feed Him, lol ... IF youre in Pickering You should try The Big M The Original Burger !!!

I went there for the first time, and was not disappointed. The big M beef patty is fresh made, and never frozen. It was a five Star experience for me, however, I must mention that the fries had too much salt, perhaps, futuristically let the customer add the salt at will to the fries, from now on then. I met Tony the owner today. This was a glorious gastronomical tasty experience, from the Big P. I definitely found this restaurant to be wholly commendable, and highly recommendable then.

Big M s burgers are memorable in the best way. The patties are juicy and you can make your burger your own by adding any toppings from their long list of options! I got the Jr. Big M and it was still a lot of burger for me but also the perfect size for me. I definitely wouldn t be able to finish the regular Big M burger. You must try their off the menu item - Greek fries. Love love it!! It s such a nice spot to sit outside during the summer months and a really nostalgic drive in space. Must try if you are on Pickering, or not even in Pickering! Go try!

Banquet Burger Chicken Salad Greek Fries Poutine Onion Rings The steady flow of people in and out of this establishment should have been a clue as to what I was in for. The banquet Burger was delicious, but what blew me away the poutine. Normally I prefer a very dark gravy. This was a little lighter than I normally like, but it did not disappoint. The poutine was superb! The Greek Fries were a perfect mix of flavors. The onion rings were crispy and sweet inside. The salad was loaded with chicken and their in-house made dressing was delicious. Theres a reason why this place has been around since 1965! Lots of parking. Patio with tables/umbrellas.

Was always a standard fare burger joint, been a customer since early 70s. Has gone through several owners over the years. Friend and l ordered steak-on-a-kaiser, mine with just fried onions and mushrooms couple weeks ago. Was absolutely the best steak on a kaiser Ive ever had and left me pining for another. Perfectly prepared, done medium, and juicy. Will be back soon. Need my fix, experiencing withdrawal. Onion rings are genuine full sized as Ive always liked them. Picnic tables with sun umbrellas provide casual outside dining atmosphere. Told to try the Greek fries next time Im in. I only got around to writing this review now because I am thinking of that steak on a kaiser for dinner! Recommended.

Classic neighbourhood shop! Always a great time when I come, I always come before or after the beach. Friendly staff (as you can see in the photo). Great food, price is a bit on the higher side, however, the portions do not disappoint. I ve only had the cheeseburger and fries here, I think next time I will opt for something different.

I grew up in Pickering and I have been enjoying the Big M since the 70s. I went to school just down the road from the Big M so it was a great place for lunch time. I remember when Chris P used to make our food when he worked there as a teen. I still love going to the Big M and I am in my 50s now. So happy it is still there to this day.

Has recently changed owners but still an amazing place. Keeping the same great menu with people who care about putting a smile on your face. This is a house hold name for the area and people come for it from all around. If you re in the area I suggest coming and giving it a try

Great old school burger joint with great service and good eats. No bathroom on site, tables outside only and can be a bit scarce at times (and some arent all that comfortable to be honest), and they close pretty early (8PM). But the food is legit awesome, and the service is friendly and fast! Food

Amazing service from not only amazing staff but the owners too, if they re around they re great with every aspect of their service! Burgers are all freshly grilled while you wait in a small piece of Pickering history, always love riding up on a bike ride for a milkshake or taking someone that hasn t been to try for their first time, all in all, would highly recommend giving them a try, the price is worth it Parking: There s a good amount of space to park even if all the spots are taken

I came here for he first time on a sunday afternoon for a quick lunch. The service was quick and friendly and the food was pretty good. I ordered the Junior Big M and it was the perfect size (4oz) I also decided to make it combo with an upgrade to a poutine. the portion size of the poutine was was so big, I could hardly finish it, but loved it!

I d heard good things about this place and decided to try it a few weeks back ..well that was a mistake because now I simply can t go back to the low effort fast food places I used to enjoy before! Thier food is amazing! Staff and friendly and personable and super helpful! More expensive than your 5 dollar cardboard breakfast sandwich ..but SO worth it! Wish they had indoor dinning
