Best $ 20 dollar hamburger north of the border for $ 7 of food. Best $ 9 beer for a $4 beer. they thought stream whiste and creemore were craft beer. Service was great, but the place was empty no attention was not an issue. Did like the onion ring tower... and burger's better than any big Mac or Whopper or Harvey's.

Stopped in on our way back to Nova Scotia and had a great time! Service was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable. Food was quick and delicious! The Works always has the best assortment of dips and burgers, we miss it out East. And this location knows exactly how to serve up the experience that the Works is known for. You've gotta go!

We dropped in after passing this place many times, took the grandkids and walked in for lunch The kids burgers were great my wife's burger was excellent great “side” options I ordered the poutine with pulled pork All was fine ‘til i took a bite of my food. Flavours were good , but the actual pulled pork and gravy was COLD, this was a bummer, we were asked how our food was and we responded that it was good as the server was excellent. The kids menu is a 👍👍👍with a drink and ice cream included The garage setting was unique and nice , the menu choice was excellent. Sadly the pulled pork gets 2*s simply for the ugh cold sauce and pork. They should check all food at the pass before it makes its way to the table, this not a complaint but an honest feedback

Great place. The food was delicious, the options were amazing, and they have GLUTEN FREE buns and VEGAN burgers if you're so inclined, and I'm told they tasted amazing (they're the Beyond Meat brand for those who are particular). I can't remember what the burger name was; I just know you can get anything you want. I think I added avocado or changed the cheese and got the sauce on the side. They were very accommodating. For poutine purists, the cheese was squeaky and didn't melt easily. Very yummy and stringy when it did. The poutine is vegetarian, so there are a lot of options for meatatarians and vegetarians at this place, more than other burger joints.

I went there with low expectations to be honest because I tried one of the WORKS branches in Kitchener/Waterloo and it was one of the worst beef burgers I've ever had (that location closed permanently a few months ago) I ordered two burgers, one beef (the Tom Green) and one chicken (Chicken Fight Club). The beef one was good unlike the one I tried in Kitchener. The chicken was tender and really good. So I would recommend it. I like how they offer different options for the bun. I got a white bun for the chicken and sesame multi-grain for the beef. The service was good but slow as there was only one lady serving all tables. It was a weekend so they should hire at least one more server.

Been several years since I visited The WORKS. Nice atmosphere and decor. Great Halloween Decorations also. Ordered the Wrecking Ball 2.0...bacon wrapped cheese ball. Gotta try it. Bacon and Cheese. Tastes good with and without the dip they provide. I've never had a Ceasar salad loaded with so much bacon, it was good and the Bacon Burger from the Chefs selection was really good. The store owner provided recommendations and suggestions he was excellent at our table. We will return.

The restaurant has lots of choices of burgers. I ordered the sweet chicka chicka boom boom sandwich and my hubby ordered the get piggy with it. They come with a side. We got the fries. The ice tea came in a measuring cup. The service was ok. She wasn’t the friendliest. The restaurant was empty when we got there a 1:00pm on a Saturday.

I have been here twice already, and they never miss a beat! The food is always super fresh and the service is excellent. The Blues Burger is my favorite so far. It is absolutely juicy, and the Blue Cheese is sublime. I love their regular fries, but their Sweet Potato one slaps hard. Well worth upgrading. Never mushy. The restaurant is also kept very clean. Be sure to stop in, you won't regret it at all.

Its a bit pricey but they dont skimp on the portions so the meal is satisfying. With the variety of toppings available there is something for everyone including vegetarian. Dietary restrictions: A person at our table had an allergy and it was accommodated with no problems Parking: The Pickerings location is in a strip mall, lots of parking

Great spot. Awesome burgers and bottomless fries

July 22, 2024

Our food that cost almost $200 were the worst burgers and fries we have ever had. They were dry and overcooked to the point of cardboard. The food was tasted and discarded. The manager refused to refund the money even though the food was inedible. I called the next day for a refund. That was a timely complaint. He claimed I had to pay 50% for food that no one could consume and enjoy. The manager also had a bad attitude. He told me to good ahead and leave a bad review, he didnt care. I am obliging him. BUYER BEWARE.

Recently I was there with a couple of my girlfriends and we had this waitress I didnt get her name unfortunately I dont know if she was going through a rough day but she was extremely rude and disrespectful I dont know if she was having a bad day but when it came time to pay there was a tip option and I was going to tip $10 but I guess my hand slipped and I accidentally pressed 10 cents instead of $10 when I realized my mistake I was going to give her cash but the way she reacted was so unexcusable she was making a bit of a scene she went over to her other co-worker talking about how she got a 10-cent tip she went over to the kitchen area telling everybody everyone in the kitchen area was looking over at us I never felt more disappointed and so embarrassed I literally had $10 to give her when she came back with her take on container and she went to do all that that is so unprofessional I would never set foot in this establishment ever again

My husband and I dined in on Friday, we both ordered beef burgers. He had to get his remade because it wasn t made the way he ordered it. They brought out his burger within the next 10 mins after that. Not sure if that burger wasn t stored properly or was cooked incorrectly but the next morning he was showing signs of food poisoning. Throwing up & diarrhea all day. It s now Monday & he still has not fully recovered I really hope for the sake of others that this is not a reoccurrence, otherwise the health department really should seriously be notified. This hasn t happened to him since he was a kid. It ruined our whole long weekend .

We stopped in here for a bite and a drink before heading to see a movie across the street. Everything from the food to service was good...not great but good. The burgers and portions of the sides were a bit smaller than I expected for the price point here, atmosphere felt a bit more like a fast food joint.

Quite literally my favorite place. I am the pickiest eater most people ever meet, yet Ive tried 3/4 of their menu (with only beef burgers so far) and LOVED THEM ALL. Weve made this our go to Friday meal. The staff is super nice too, always see the same guy who seems to remember us.

Very over priced mediocre burgers. Fairly dirty facility that doesnt seem to be cleaned often, would hate to see the kitchen.

I ordered the maple bacon burger, which is a signature burger crafted by the Pickering crew. Not cheap $24 but probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. The flavours were layered and complex. I could taste each ingredient, and they all complimented each other. The beef patty was juicy and fresh, the bacon and poutine could have stood on their own. At first I thought it was too big, but it was so good, I quickly scarfed down the whole thing. I eat a lot of burgers. This one set the benchmark.

The waitress we dealt with was lovely, but the food itself was very subpar. The burger had no flavour except the flavour of the meat itself. It was super bland, and super greasy. It was also swimming in mayo. My friend got a crispy chicken sandwich and it was grilled and also had no real flavour but that of the meat. Fries were also very salty. Super expensive too for food we would never opt to eat again!

Recommended from a friend and it was definitely worth it. Went over the holidays and it was oddly very quiet (we were the only table dining in). Service was great ensuring we were well taken care of. Ordered the Canadian Fight Club and Taste of Heaven and both were very good (lots of flavour, not overly salty and most importantly burgers were juicy and not overcooked). Portions of the sides (sweet potato fries and poutine) were massive! Only downside was the kids burger was a little charred and dry (understandably so as we dont want to feed our toddler medium rare meat), but they dont know the difference anyways. Also, poutine was swimming in gravy (not a deal breaker, but became a fries soup near the end of the meal) Would definitely come back again.

Came here recently with a friend of mine around 3pm. The place was mostly empty but we enjoy a chill quiet environment. I ordered the Obi-Wan Kobe Man Cave and my friend got the Malibu Meltdown with added peppercorn crust. We shared an onion ring tower. The food was delicious and the waitress was very kind. We would go here again to try out more kinds of burgers.

We were driving to Ottawa and we decided to have dinner at works before leaving. The restaurant was half empty and the manager told us that it would take them 10 mins to seat us. We were okay to wait but we asked him to take our order early so we did not have to wait that long before leaving for Ottawa. He asked us very suspicious questions and kept asking us if were sure about our order. He told us that he would come back right away to take our order but then he disappeared. We waited for a while but then left because they took way too long to come back to take our order even though they said that they were okay with taking our order early.

Was worried when I walked in why it was empty on a Sunday at 1pm. I was looking for fresh cut fries poutine to go. Not sure why this place was so quiet because the poutine was excellent!! I would have given 5 stars if they put more curds on the poutine than I got for almost $15 with tax. If I had a suggestion perhaps look at a separate entrance for food to go so you dont have to walk all the way through the restaurant to find take out service. Parking: Tons of parking with entrance in the Loblaws parking lot either direction but only south bound Liverpool rd.

I came here on a whim, Saturday afternoon, and it was not busy at all. Was able to get seated immediately. I had the Get Elkd burger which was an elk patty topped with havarti cheese, maple bacon jam, crunchy onion strings, W sauce and lettuce. They offer many beers, imported and domestic, wines and the odd bar cocktail, but the star is definitely the milkshakes that come in the 1L measuring cups. Unfortunately, Im lactose intolerant so I settled with a 18oz blue moon. Food took a while to arrive, but thats to be expected when they slice potatoes and fry them up on location. The dipping sauce was amazing; I actually had to get more sauce to finish my stack of potatoes.

Went on Mothers Day to celebrate with family and did not enjoy the experience at all. We had to wait a long time for our food and the burgers were cold and seemed like they were cooked from frozen. But the worst part was that I ordered a drink called The Arnold (iced tea and lemonade). Instead I was served the alcoholic version and was not aware of this until we saw the bill. What made the situation even worse was the the server was not apologetic at all. I m not sure if the server was trained properly, but it s a pretty major mistake to serve an alcoholic drink to someone who did not order it. We definitely will never be going back.

We love the Works and have been going for years. The food selection has gone down and this last time the service was unfortunately lacking. They were busy with takeout so dine in was slow.

Upscale burger joint with high quality ingredients. Perhaps a bit pricey, but if you ended up trying to make burgers like this at home, with that vast array of toppings and choices, then you would probably spend more. The Obi Wan Kobe Man-Cave is one of my favorites, followed by the Blues Burger. I should add that the staff willingly and cheerfully accommodated my husbands Keto diet. Two years later, The Works is still serving up great burgers, and recently added pulled pork to the menu. They use quality ingredients and produce fresh tasting results!

Food was ok but portions were smaller than even last time and that was in Winter. Wait for food was long and with hungry kids that doesn t always go over well. They had all of 2 people working there and it was very slow. It s new management and I find the staff isn t as cheery or bubbly as the previous staff were. we have been coming here for ages. Thr previous manager would come around and say hi, even give out a few coupons for free food items with a return purchase and it was awesome. Ur lucky if you see the server. Parking: Lots of parking at lunch time on Saturday. Wheelchair accessibility: Their accessibility main door doesn t work to enter the restaurant only from the outside to their main door.

We eat here farily regularly and the food is good quaility but on our last trip my 8 yr. old son asked if he could try the spicy potato chips to see if he would like to order them, and was told by our sever, Im sorry I cant do that for you. Pardon? My son didnt understand why a couple of potato chips couldnt be spared so he could see how they tasted. This place is priced on the high side of a family meal in our books, and has certainly moved way down on our choice to return. In our opinion, once your food quaility makes it, cleaniness and service is what separates the pack. The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro Pickering has left the pack. Hello Five Guys Burgers in Ajax.

I love the food here , my only question is why do you guys close so early in the evening?

December 22, 2022

I would like to start off this review by saying the food does taste great at the Pickering location. My issue is the fact that they no longer allow you to order take out food off of the lunch menu. I like to pre-ordered my lunch and go pick it up since I only have a 30 minute lunch break. I had to go in and sit down at the table wait for them to serve it to me on a plate so I can then ask them to pack it up so I could take it back to work. I think that it s rather ridiculous. My opinion is that they are just trying to get more money off of the customers because apparently you can order takeout off of the regular menu but you can t order takeout off of the lunch special menu. That is unfair.

The burger was good but undercooked... I was the only one in the place so that didnt make any sense. The portion were okay but on the light side. Nothing was really explained to me even though I indicated it was my 1st time there. The pop machine mix ratios were off making my ginger aile taste bad. The server was okay but not really invested, checking his phone and talking with the kitchen. All in all not the best experience (since the price is so high) but not the worst either. Would I go back?.... I believe in second chances but lets just say I am not running!

First time trying this burger joint out yesterday. A bit on the pricier side, but great tasting burgers! I ordered Son of a Beech, my husband ordered Sk8er Boy and took out a wagyu burger. The Beechhouse sauce on my burger was flavourful. My husband never thought of ever adding peanut butter to his burger but he will now! No complaints with the take out. The only thing I would mention is that the 1st server who initially served our table (female) lacked communication skills. She quickly came by to get our order when I wasnt ready, then never returned. My husband then saw her get ready to leave. We were the only ones seated at the time. I went up to another server (male) who ended up being our 2nd server. He just arrived at his shift and wasnt aware about our table as the female server apparently didnt tell him. Regardless, he was friendly and helpful, we were happy with his service.

The food was great as lays, however thevservice that day (a Saturday) was quite slow. Sign at front says to wait to be seated, after waiting for 10-15 minutes (only 2-3 tables were being used) we had to go look for someone. Once seated, everything was fine, except the server did not check up on us once until we flagged them down to ask for the bill. Probably severely understaffed, which is why its a 4* review still, and besides, the food itself was excellent .

Never write reviews but I just had to give this place my first review!! :) Was going to give a fair score considering the food was OK but the staff is horrendous. Service is nonexistent. Expect to be ignored to the point that staff avoids your gaze. What are the priorities here??

Burger was OK not spectacular. Its cool in the winter if you sit inside in the winter as it is surrounded by windows. Keep a jacket close. It wasnt at all busy at 7 pm on a Friday in August.

This place is amazing, enjoyed food thoroughly, must try their onion rings. Only reason for two stars is because of the waitress Emily, very unprofessional and we felt that we were not welcome. Bad experience and only reason not one star is because their food is top class!

First time. I ordered a burger to go. Worst burger ever. I asked for pink. Was way over well done. The meat smelled bad. Nor fresh at all. I asked for lettuce and tomatoes. No lettuce or tomatoes. Way over price. Wendys has a much better burger for 1/3 the price.

Is there new managment here? I really used to love this spot, but the past few times ive ordered it has been terrible. Particularaly this evening, I called & ordered for pick up as i live less than 2 minutes away. I showed up at the time they had requested i be there and proceeded to wait another 30 minutes, no problem theyre obviously busy..i grab my food and rush home to eat in excitement & the food is cold, not even warm..the fries are limp and stale, but honestly im hungry & to monetarily invested at this point to turn back lol. But on the first couple bites i pull back to back very long hairs from my mouth & was honestly so disgusted i just threw it out.. This place used to be my go to spot for a good burger even though it was on the pricier side, but its safe to say ill be refraining from spending my money here in the future. #hairnet

Have to say that it had been a while since we ordered from The Works... and we were not disappointed, even better that we remembered. Had perpercorn burger, wow and onion rings. The best I have had from all the various burger place around. We will certainly not wait long before re-ordering.

I normally have nothing good to say but lately extremely frustrated. Phone is constantly off the hook for hours. If it wasn t for the amazing staff I wouldn t be coming in! The owners never apologize for the inconvenience either. Then after waiting an hour to get my food my gluten free bun was still frozen and didn t put our gravy in that we paid extra for.

Youd think when you pay 40$ for two burgers one with fries one with onion rings youd get more then 6 onion rings with the hamburger, not really impressed and wont be coming back

As a vegetarian I was super excited to see that they offered a portobello cap instead of regular vegetarian options like the beyond burger -as Im not a fan of canola oil and other gross/cheap ingredients. Ordered the portobello cap with a gluten free bun topped with goat cheese, and regular condiments. It was great! Long wait for takeout, would advise phoning in advance.

First off the food is awesome! We were very impressed with what we ordered. However the service is horrible. Our drinks were never refilled. We asked for wet wipes...they were never brought and when we asked for the check we sat forever waiting for it. Our server was very polite but just not attentive. We would recommend take out!

This was the first time that me and my family actually sat in a restaurant for a meal since COVID started. The food was amazing and exactly like we ordered. The onion ring tower was perfect! The waiter was polite and checked on us to see that everything was to our liking. However, wished they had the cherry coke but the Pepsi with added cherry syrup was ok. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and we ll definitely come back again :)

The burger was delicious and the waitress was very friendly. The only reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars is because they only had the one waitress and we could see she was overwhelmed with all the different tables indoors and patio, and even then she did a great job at serving us.

Aromas of patties simmering on the grill, a perfectly topped burger, and the sensation of sinking your teeth into that first bite are just a few of the things youre going to experience at this place. As for the fries, they were delicious, with a delicate exterior crispiness and a perfect amount of fluffiness. They were seasoned with big, flaky grains of salt that added more texture and nice pops of flavour.They were top notch. Im tempted to visit this place again.
