The Real McCoy in Scarborough

My walk-in takeout order was forgotten for the third time in a row due to their brilliant system of yelling the order across the room and hoping its acknowledged. Each time they only noticed they forgot to get my order going because they saw me standing there staring them down for 15 minutes waiting for a slice of pizza. No apologies either, just a Real Coy nod from the cashier.

Need gluten free buns

Vegetarian options: Veggie slice and veggie burger Food

Best slices in town While all the others are cutting back not not George at The Real McCoy.

Great steak sandwich and old style onion rings.

The food was really good . The portions were huge too . The spices on the chicken and hamburger was good too . Parking: There is limited parking spot available.

Had a simple order 2 small fries and 1 large fry!!! The large and 1 small fry were all scraps and some were over cooked and hard as a rock!!! Used to take my kids here long time ago and boy this place went downhill, will not be going back.

This place is very well known. They have been around for quite a long time. The food is great. Staff is always friendly. I recommend this establishment.

A True Scarborough GEM. Staff is kind and the atmosphere is relaxed. My new favorite spot. I had the double homeburger salad and onion rings. Portions are amazing. Food

One of the top mom and pop establishments in Scarborough. Amazing pizzas, burgers, fresh hand cut fries, and steak on a Keiser to name a few of the foos staples here. New location now has a seating area. Parking lot is usually a disaster however, so keep that in mind during peak dinner hours. Anytime Im in Scarborough I always come by to see George or Kumar and grab a slice. Highly recommend.

Decent veggie burger

YUMMY

Terrific place for a MOJO burger. Fresh buns, great size patty. Onion rings were really good too.

Usually this place is amazing. But I guess standards have gone down thanks to the Trudeau effect. Got the mojo. Half was an inch thick, the other half was a quarter inch thick....how do you not make your patties consistent?? Also asked for extra mustard, Im pretty sure they put the whole bottle on. Literally dripping with mustard. Was unedible. Not impressed as this used to be an amazing place when George and his family ran it.

Its the service that shine here, with an absolutely sumptuous burger joint menu. Staff and cooks are great, very accommodating, and the place is not only great to visit; its great take-out, too. I highly recommend skipping the other chains and taking it to The Real McCoy; real food, real flavour, real people - thanks so much, RM Scarborough ! ! ! Dietary restrictions: If you let the kitchen know in advance, they will take care of you. Top-notch, simply giveem a heads up.

I mean, what can I say? Number one spot for burgers and pizza. If they add wings to the Menu then my gosh!!!

Ordered with Uber and it was soo good, Greek fries is a must try

Its really nice their new location. Same feel. Better now. They have seats n tables now. Ill go back for sure!!! Parking: Little plaza. Spots in front of storefronts. Kid-friendliness: My kids were happy to sit down n eat there food! The first location had a shelf too high for most kids.

Ive been coming to Real McCoys since I was a toddler. Always enjoyed the food and found the staff to be great. No nonsense type to be time efficient, but always willing to help if theres an issue.

JUST A GEM IVE BEEN GOKNG TO SINCE I WAS A WEE LITTLE LAD AND ENJOY IT EVEN MORE THAN EVER!!!

The real og. Food is warm, pizza serving is huge. Gets smokey while inside the restaurant.

Every visit is like the first.

We tried The Real McCoy for a quick lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Everything tasted good and the priced were very reasonable. We really enjoyed the banquet hamburgers!

Would stay away from the pizza by the slice. Came around 12:30PM today and it did not seem fresh. Good size for $5 price tag.

My place for pizza since 1997 until I moved out of the old place

Classic diner burger. Liked it a lot

great burger with fantastic fries. Very friendly staff.. worth the drive to Lawrence and Bellamy

So tonight I finally tried The Real McCoy every time I have driven by the parking lot was full not tonight likely because it is summer and a week day. Frankly I was disappointed the fries were good. The burger was just OK but to me nothing special. It was overcooked and the bun was soggy by the time I finished the burger I was very disappointed. It repeated on me the entire evening. I won t likely bother to return. It is too expensive I would rather go to Burger King. The store itself is too hot and stuffy inside. I did take out. The gentleman who took my order was not welcoming at all didn t even smile once. I mentioned it was my first time in the store he didn t comment or seem to care. The staff there didn t seem to want to be working for a long run family business these employees don t represent the original owner.

Pizza and MOJO burger is amazing!

Love the onion rings!

Burger was decent but definatly not coming back to buy a burger for 9$

Best, hamburger-pizza- souvalaki place in Scarborough

I had a lot of burgers a this is one of the best! A contender only to one other burger place. So delicious! Fries are great too!

I dont think their pizza is very good. I didnt like their poutine with mozza either. But their burgers and onion rings are utterly perfect so full marks. The owner is also a super friendly dude who you can tell his staff like working for. A lot of wholesome vibes in this place.

Amazing food.

The mojo burger dont taste as good as the previous store

Owner is awesome. Had my first mojo last week. You cannot find burgers like this anymore. Sooooo good

Always the best, no other place can beat real mccoys always my first choice

For 2 people $41. Burger was ok but not much flavour and the onion rings were soggy. The fries were good. Not pleased with one server who kept wiping his nose and the other guy who changed a bag for a customer. Some of the fries fell on the counter and instead of throwing them out put them back in the container.

Fish and chips has gone downhill. Just revisited at new location. Fish is just average. Chips are good. Pizza is good. Food : 3/5 |

Always good and a neighborhood favourite

Finally gotten to try this place since i heard raves about it! Overall, the mojo burger was great and very filling. My only issue is i do think it s a bit pricey.

I love this place. But the last time me and my wife used Uber eats they charged us twice and wouldnt give the money back. Had to do a fraud at our bank and then after getting the money back uber took the money AGAIN. So now we cant order from here due to uber eats not correcting the problem and stealing our money.

Scarborough gem

Ordered pizza slices and onion rings. Wanted to see the hype of this iconic Scarborough spot. Food is mediocre. Onion rings was SALTY and the pizza lacked flavour!. The price for a huge slice is actually pretty good that was the best part. The establishment is DIRTY!!!!!! Need to clean everything, counters, floors and the washroom is horrible! Very very VERY unkept for a place that sells FOOD!!!

Very good burgers and the crispiest fries Ive ever had anywhere. Cant wait to try their poutine.

Decent burger. Could work on the atmosphere a little bit more. The lighting is too harsh and could be a bit warmer. It feels like youre in a parking lot inside.

Onion rings were soggy and not crunchy but burgers and poutine were excellent.

Gas

Best slice in town Mojo burgers rock Parking: Small plaza

Old school burger place that s been a staple since their old location. Burgers are absolutely delicious and they serve fresh cut fries with it, which makes it even better!

Very good. We enjoyed the big hamburgers

Let me tell you a little something about the real McCoys . A Scarborough legend. George (2nd gen owner) took the corner of Brimorton and Markham and made it a legend. The foods fantastic The boys know how to do it, God bless you and the Real McCoys.

My family had burgers, fries and pizza. The food was tasty and the pizza was really good.... The food order came surprisingly fast and the server was very friendly....... Kid-friendliness: Lots of food kids would love to eat.....

Had the Hamburger, $6.75. Nothing super amazing but filling. Cash and debit only Food : 4/5

Great burger and poutine. Mojo burgers are home made. Other burgers are not. So ask about that if it matters to you. This place is as classic as Johnny Burgers for Scarborough, but food tastes a bit better IMHO.

From my understanding this place has been a goto spot for many years. Recently moved locations, this place is nice and clean inside. The staff were friendly . The food was good, but the portion of suvloki chicken was far from average! And disappointing! My friend got the pork suvloki and the pieces were DOUBLE the size of the chicken! At $7 a stick one would anticipate a portion of a decent size !

Good is just amazing. Place is clean.

Might just be my old age at 35 but has their pizza slices always been bigger the size of my head??? Was so satisfying.

Another Scarborough landmark, best burgers, pizza, poutine, and everything else, they do have milkshakes.

How amazing this place is! We went last night bc we were driving by and starved. I got the mojo burger and it was the most delicious burger I ve had in ages! Does not compare to any other I ve tried even in high end places. Prices are decent and burger size is pretty good. Poutine is good too. Worth it! Scarlem gem!

Best price in town.woodman,

This was my usual go to place for a pizza and a poutine but the other day I came here and asked for a pizza slice which was terrible. Seems like the quality has gone down, definitely not up to par as the old Brimorton location. I also ordered a poutine and PAID for extra gravy and cheese and tell me how it seemed like there was not extra anything in there at all!! Such a disappointment, will not be coming here again as the staff Kumar and the others were very rude and did not seem like they want to be there or serve you at all. The $20 I spent was def not appreciated.

Just a great local pizza place. Theres no doubt they use good quality ingredients. I wont go anywhere else.

Great place!

Great classic burger from one of Scarborough hidden gems

Authentic, Must try the chocolate shake!

Best place in Scarborough doesn t matter how busy they are you always treated kindly and food is always top tier

Home of the Mojo burger

Sort of like getting pizza from a homeless shelter. The food is decent and close to the former location, but when I visited it seemed like a place where people go to get high, sort of a motley Crüe of people sitting at the tables. If you order take out, be brave but dont linger for your safety.

Bussin for sure. Definitely get the pizza.

Great food, great staff and owners. Will always be one of my favorite spots in Scarborough.

Bought a slice, poutine, and a mojo. Pizza: prob the best of the 3 items ordered. Warm, crispy bottom and crust. Poutine: could have been the favourite if only it were warm. Fries were cold and didn t have enough gravy. Burger: disappointing. Soggy and cold. Took 2 bites n put it away Plenty of customers came after me but I was the last to receive my order.

I like the new location as its closer to my home, parking is a challenge though. More of a take out place, then sit down as they only have a few tables that get pulled around the waiting area. Food is really good.. flame broiled, toppings were great.. service was quick and accurate. Ill definitely return again and again..

Great burger and onion rings! Great service!

I had a very disappointing experience at The Real McCoy. The grilled chicken burger was completely tasteless, and the cheese pizza slice was half-cooked and equally bland. The service was poor, and the management didnt seem to care about the issues. I wont be returning and cant recommend this place.

I wonder what has happened to this place. Friday, May 17. Called in an order for pick up. Was told 20 minutes, ended up 35. We got 2 pizzas that belonged to someone else. We were told to eat it and the next would be free. What was the proof of anything if a different employee is at the counter? If that wasnt bad enough, my fries had HAIR in it. They should have remained closed after the move from Markham Road. Will not ever darken their door again. $50 down the drain a fan entire family disappointed and hungry. THANKS Real McCoy.

Just as amazing as original location!!

The Mojo burger was really good. Very large. I had the fries and a coworker had the onion rings, very good! I preferred the onion rings but either is a great choice. Parking: Not a ton of parking. Have to share with the other stores/shops.

What a great experience I had at The Real Mccoy we ordered a large Greek salad and large double pepperoni pizza let s just say there portion sizes are huge and the price is just right.

Pathetic service and behavior of the staff, food Quality also not good

Iconic Scarborough Fare, never disappoints.

Simply the best place in town. No one beats them!

The food is awesome! The menu may look simple but the taste is great. My friends and I have tried different things from the menu and have never been disappointed. I have also called ahead and placed an order for pick up and staff were kind and professional both on the phone and at pick up. Great place for a great burger and fries! Parking: Restaurant is in a plaza so parking is shared.

I tried out The Real McCoy and ordered the famous Mojo Combo with Poutine. The Hamburger was ok, it was a bit dry and burnt. And the Poutine, gravy was good, but the fries were overcooked and just too dry from the inside, it just crumbled.

Poutine isnt real with grated cheese, fries looked and tasted like they had been cooked 3 times, chicken soulvaki on a bun was nice and the hamburger was just OK. Nothing fancy. Pizza was decent and the chicken strip were editable...

The best burger. Happy they reopened

This was a fave for me when it was at the old location. Burgers were homemade style, I had one the other day and was sadly disappointed. The patty seemed like store bought, and flat....no juicyness to it. Bring back the old style of burgers !

While theyre renowned for their burgers, I must say their pizza is hands down one of the best in Scarborough, and dare I say, even in Toronto. The dough is soft, and the toppings are juicy and abundant. Its a double thumbs up from me.

As a person who for many years went this the real mccoy. But it s changed a lot 4 days ago I want in there. Got 2 Burgers now this is this the kicker . My sick wife takes a big bite to only be chowing on the chef s lovely love BLACK HAIR. Complete waste of money. To the garbage it went. She said that s the last time I ll get food form this place. Buyers beware they will serve you hairy burgers injoy

Well I did want to like this place. The food was delicious but expensive. Theyre food safety handling is not standard. I watched both employees handle there phones, joke around and slap each others back sides and then touch my food. Ok so I went in again, this time I watched the manager go from touching cash to getting my pizza out the freezer and put it in the oven. He got mad when I asked for another slice , I paid for both and threw them in the garbage. I wouldnt pay to ear here ever again, Im terrified of getting ill as Im already sick with cancer. If you dont mind eating germs, then the grill will kill most of the germs. Goodluck

Great burgers and fries. Staff are supper freindly. Pizza slice are also pretty good but only three choices. Purely a take out spot but well worth the trip

Real McCoy always has a special place in my heart. Asides from the food being amazing and homemade, owner George and his family really care about the customers and the Scarborough community. I was once a un-employed lost individual with a skilled trades license. George asked me how I was doing one day after I ordered a Mojo burger combo at the old location and I answered him with candor. He was kind enough to reference me to someone he personally knew that was looking for skilled tradespeople like myself. Although I ended up going a different direction and working for another company, I will never forget such an act of kindness from George. Sadly many places close down and never re-open, Im so happy the Real McCoy has re-opened and is better than ever.

Best

Ive come multiple times and I believe I should write a review. Kam and the team (unfortunately I only got kams name as he was my primary helper today) were great! Fast service and super friendly. The foods amazing and worth spending a couple of bucks when compared to others burger/fast food joints around. I would highly recommend if you want a good portion, delicious food, and a fair price!

The burger was processed not hand made..bun and fries both cold ..lots of condiments though In one word dissapointed Food

Banquet burger classic. This place tastes like the burgers you used to eat in the 80s if you re old enough to understand that.

Great pizza!! Best in Scarborough!! Food

The Mojo burger lived up to the hype. Get it with the works. Its legit, yet not overwhelming. No one ingredient is overbearing. They obviously know how to handle beef. Parking: Not a lot of parking spots, if you go after work.

Great food for decent prices.

Scarborough staple, unpretentious, super friendly, decent food, decent prices

This is a Scarborough gem would highly recommend this spot, the mojo burgers are the best

The very best pizza I ve ever tasted and so worth the drive from Pickering to pick up to take home. Michael takes pride in his skills of creating delicious pizzas, burgers, etc. as he wants you to truly enjoy your meal. Micheal is very friendly & respectful to his customers whether a first time customer or a repeat customer. Thank you from my family Micheal and Real McCoy Burgers

They constantly have the phone off the hook, I like to order ahead of time so when I get there the food is ready .......

The Mojo burger is awesome. Staple Scarborough restaurant!

The Home Burger is still top notch but we were a little disappointed in the fries. I dont think they are hand cut any longer and they were pre-seasoned with salt. Please being back your original fries!

The food is tasty and inviting. Staff are accommodating and helpful as well. Only downside is the place needs updating but I believe they are closing down soon because the plaza is being repurposed. I hope they open elsewhere.

Ive been going here for over 10 years, ever since I was a kid going to the elementary school next door. In all that time, the price of the pizza slice combo has remained at $5. Need I say anything else? Great food, great people, great restaurant.

Food was homemade on the spot. A nice change from big commercialized places like the big M. Fries were like chip truck fries and I saw someone s pizza slice - it looked so good and big. The burger tasted like something you d make yourself in the backyard which is great! Most of all their customer service was amazing. You can tell they want to get to know their customers and please them which is what makes it breaks a good place. Very happy and will return again next time we are nearby.

First time ever McCoy visiter. I ordered the banquet burger and fries. What I really enjoyed about this place is the friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. I honestly felt like I was being served and not just another customer in a line up. The burger was freshly made and it was cooked perfectly. What I also noticed is that they use real bacon here. It was crunchy and way above fast food quality. I will definitely go again

Great food and great customer service

Best burgers ever!!!

Absolutely amazing burgers! This new location on Bellamy, way better more parking! They are still a hit! They have been around since the 1969 Wow!!!

Go Once !!! Then Youll See !!!

Solid homemade burger. Onion rings look amazing, but they arent. Theyre pre-fried, way overbreaded, and then dropped in the fryer upon order where they soak up a ridiculous amount of grease. Pizza is the real gem here. Old school slice.

Great service. Food is tasty. Friendly environment

Get food be going there since I was 11 Im 33 now and live near Peterborough over time im near hear I stop for food

The Real McCoy is the real deal. You cant go wrong with any of the items on their menu but my absolute favorite is their pizza slices. The slices are huge and made fresh every time. If you have yet to try out this piece of Scarborough history at its new location, youre sorely missing out.

It was really delicious burger

If heaven had a smell, it would smell like The Real McCoy , best burgers and fries

Amazing food so happy these guys are back in business!

Its a Scarborough institution that will forever be our fav place to go. The Mojo Burger is so filling. The onion rings are huge. If you have not had any of the food, you got to go have some asap

Good

Same decent taste and great service but its as if the portions have shrunk and prices have doubled since moving to the new location.

So so low expectation overpriced .

People either love it or hate it, I personally. love it because of the large pizza slices. The burgers are flame grilled, Steak sandwiches and great poutines. and they have Feel good Food Just reminder, theyre closed on Sunday.

We bought a medium pepperoni pizza at Real McCoys with creamy garlic and chipotle dipping sauces and it tasted amazing. Just what we needed for dinner on a weekday.

Always a great burger

Best Burger in the province the MOJO

The original Scarborough burger joint in a new location. Same great MOJO burgers, onion rings to come back for and a pizza loaded for a great price.

Vegetarian options: Need more vegan and vegetarian options Food

If you want an honest review, The Real Mccoy is not a 4.6 or 4.7 or whatever the crazy google rating of the day is. it is a 3.5-3.7. The burgers, onion rings and fries are their best offering. 4-4.2/5 Hotdogs 3.8/5 Their pizza is a joke. Dont even waste your time with this. 2-2.5/5. The grease went right through the box and left stains on the table. The salt, pepper, and chili flakes come pouring out of their shakers there, so watch out on that front! The only possible way that TRM is a 4.6 or 4.7 is if you are a Scarborough stoner (which we know there are plenty of those) TRM should ditch the pizza and focus on getting their other offerings to a 4.5+

Edit: the new location is always packed with no parking. The new staff are nice but the old staff were much more friendly. The food has gone down in quality a bit, it still tastes the same but the portion feels smaller and I found a chuck of cartilage or fat that was inedible in my burger. It s not the same as before. It s still a good burger but I ll visit Avenger burger or Burger boys for a better product. They make two styles of burgers but the home burgers are made with their own beef and are fresh and super good. They will make a burger any way you want with grilled mushrooms and onion to a tzatziki Greek burger. The steak on a Kaiser is good. The burger prices are cheep compared to place downtown but that does not equate to poor quality. The pizza is a little expensive but the servings are generous so it s good. The milkshakes and so is the service. Highly recommended.

Great food at Real McCoy. New location is bright and clean. Parking is a challenge and I wouldnt be surprised if it was a deciding factor on some visits. Parking: Few spots in tight lot not really capable of handling 2 way traffic. A challenge with other business parking and all the delivery service pickups at Real McCoy and another restaurant in the plaza.

Wonderful. If youre into a thicker dough thats light and fluffy, while still not overpowering the toppings. If you love really cheesy pizzas and stringy mozzarella and a crunchy crust! Along side fantastic staff and great service this is your jam!! :)

The burger was really good .

Ordered lunch today I should have went to McDonalds it was a waste of time gas and money almost broke a tooth on the onion rings and I give the burger 4 out of 10. I went back for lunch again a few weeks after the last visit thinking maybe it was just a bad day last time. But nope it was just as bad tried the home burger this time n onion rings again the burger was a little better but the onion rings were terrible again over cooked n hard I just cant win I was so hopeful. Well its January 2024 thought Id give it another chance but I was wrong I tried the home burger this time and onion rings the burger was not worth the extra cash and the onion rings were terrible way way to hard again I really like this place before but I just cant see spending anymore money here its a real shame they rush and dont care !!!

Visited Real McCoy burger today for the first time since. well, high school which was in the 80 s. Damn good burger and fantastic onion rings. Yum! Need to bring the family here soon.

On Saturday, January 6, 2024, at 8:30pm my husband went to order his usual. A mojo burger and a pizza slice. The staff at this time was making the burger and my husband asked him if that was his order and to cut it in half. The staff member was Indian (bald guy) and muttered something in his language that my husband understood. My husband watched the staff throw burgers on the table. Is that acceptable? Its unsanitary and disrespectful in my opinion. These guys dont know what they are doing and its horrible customer service. We have been real mccoys customers for over 20 years. The new staff that George hired, which are brown guys, and Im not being racist here, have no respect for this company. George, if you are reading this your family would not be proud. You need to hire a staff that cares about your business because these Saturday night staff dont accept the guy who was handling the pizza in the back. He was good.

The food is great but the community atmosphere, the bantering between guests, staff and ownership is what makes this a must visit. I had the Mojo combo and wow I could feed my family of 3. Thanks to George and staff for a great fist time visit (won t be the last)!

They have great pizza, great burgers and a great atmosphere.

First time going here. Burger was amazing Im definitely coming back

Fantastic food. Amazing pizza and don t sleep on the souvlaki. Hardest working crew. So happy they are back in a new home.

The Real McCoy is a hidden gem for vegetarians! The amazing vegetarian burger is a flavor explosion, and the $4 huge pizza slices are a steal. The quality of ingredients is top-notch, and the cozy ambiance adds to the overall experience. A must-visit for affordable and delicious bites!

Man. I had their pizza slice about 3 months back for the first time in my life. and swear to god, it the amazing in taste. and they fill me up for a very reasonable price. best pizza in my opinion.

Solid classic burger!

Great customer service representative
