    Good food, friendly service, casual atmosphere. Went here for the first time after a game of golf. Surprised how many people were here for a Wednesday evening. They got everything out in time everyone seemed in good spirits. Didn’t look like they had many fountain drinks other then bottles or cans in their fridge. Would go back!

    This was my second time visiting Philthy Philly's in Pickering. We ordered the $10.99 combo that comes with a 6" Philly cheese steak sandwich, fries and a can of pop. The sandwich was made fresh to order, the fries were very crispy (maybe double fried?). I will come back again in the future.

    Run the other way. What a rip off. New management… No cheese on an order of chilli cheese fries. Sick of people taking advantage of the consumer to make a box. Wayover priced, and we’re not dumb the new boxes are smaller than they were before, and the prices are higher.!

    Best philly cheese steaks and poutine. Best days to go try both out would be Tuesdays $5 cheese steaks and $5 regular poutine. The poutine in the picture is the Chicken, Bacon Ranch poutine and the cheese steak is the You can add sautéed onions, jalapenos peppers, and even cheese wiz at no extra cost. A lot of places change you extra, they have a large variety of sauces and a decent selection of cheese to add to your cheese steaks. They are always adding new items to their menu, they recently added burgers, chicken sandwiches, desserts. The s'mores puff daddy desserts are amazing and definitely worth it! Give them a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed 😉

    Got the pulled pork poutine in medium size and it was delicious! Just the right amount of sauce to cheese on top with crispy fries. They have a decent menu selection to choose from so there is something for everyone. The environment was clean and staff easy to talk to. For the price to portions, I would say it is a bit expensive but still a great first time experience and would come back to try their other menu items in the future.

    Before leaving a review I read other reviews with pictures and it looks like a better care is put in for people that order in person.... I Ordered threw skip the dishes, the poutine wasn't hot enough to melt the little cheese curds there was, the fries and onion rings where cooked in old oil or where over cooked to hell, the sandwiches where ok at best if that. Maybe get a better product and/or service in person but definitely not ordering again. Looks good what they show in pictures but not what you get.

    I ordered 2 items, one of which was a poutine. There was a special that day (which I wasn’t aware of), which wasn’t offered to me. Instead it was offered to the two following patrons. When asked if this could be applied to my order, it was refused and suggested I come in another day for another special. Why would I come in another day for another special? It’s simple, reimburse the client, provide the upgrade or offer the same service you offer all of your patrons. Needless to say, I will not be coming back.

    This spot isn’t professional at all, all of the employees are wearing flipflops in the kitchen which is extremely unsafe and one of the employees brought his wife and child in the back as well as dining area, casually feeding the child as though they were in the comfort of their own home. My sister and I ordered food at the same time and she was given hers first while I had to wait for others who came after me get their food handed to them. These workers are extremely inappropriate and ruin a good name for this gem.

    This place really went down the drain. Used to come here often when it was under different management. During that time, the employees used to care about service and quality of the food. Can’t say the same now. Chicken was dry, poutine was quite small compared to what it used to be. And like others have mentioned, you can see some children in the kitchen area which is not safe. Probably won’t come again

    Pickering location is a health hazard waiting to happen. The staff certainly need additional training in handling the cash register/money, washing their hands and trimming their dirty figure nails, before touching food and helping out in the kitchen. Salad toppings are left opened, the countertop area and floors are usually very messy. While waiting for my sandwiches, I was shock to see the staff touching their mask, adjusting their hat/hair and handling cash multiple times. Then went ahead to cook in the kitchen and then add final toppings upfront without washing hands or wearing gloves. Love supporting my local business but unfortunately I would not be visiting this location again. Perhaps my basic hygiene expectation is too high for this restaurant, after all, maybe that's why they are named Philthy Philly's.

    Food was decent here. The one employee was sick quite obviously and it was kind of concerning considering she was wiping her nose and working with the food in the back also no gloves had I noticed prior to ordering I would have left. With that said I did not get sick and the food was ok.

    Uber eats’d a classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich… DO NOT GET A SMALL. The receipt I got was bigger than the sandwich (~6 inches). The sandwich is 10/10 though. Their philthy sauce was great. Did not regret adding it. Pretty pricy but the quality is great.

    Definitely not worth the price. The poutine is mediocre and the sandwich is alright but 100% not worth the price they charge. If it was half the price I'd recommend them but for 1 combo with a small sandwich and poutine I spent $26. There's better bang for buck at other restaurants that taste much better.

    Ordered here for the first time. I specifically said “No onions” and when I got back home… there were lots of onions on my sandwich. I drove back and they remade my order, but no apology or anything. I will not be back. Check your orders before leaving the store. I get that this is an honest mistake… but an apology is the least they could have done and they didn’t. Call me old fashioned… but customer service use to mean something. I guess being rude is the new standard for these guys. 🤣

    I orderd delivery lastnight from skip the dishes. 1 philly cheestake, 1 chilly heartburn poutine and a drink. There was no cutlery, napkins or condiments of any sort. The sandwich itself wasn't bad but presentation could've been alot better as the poutine looked like they just dropped it in the bag, was very messy and the sauce and gravy was spelt all over the inside on the bag as there was no cover for the poutine. The whole meal just looked very rushed and messy, like it was just tossed in the bag and stapled shut. Not what I expected for a first time experience considering how much I paid for the meal plus delivery.

    Ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and Meat Eater Poutine. Great portions, the Philly Cheesesteak is as close as it gets to the ones from Philadelphia. Customer service on point as well, very friendly. Store very clean.

    Ordered through Uber Eats and scheduled a pick up time. Order wasn't ready until 30 minutes after the later portion of the pick up time frame. When I did pick it up, I was waiting outside the restaurant and food was already cold, as if it was sitting there for awhile but they never marked it ready. Sure it would have tasted better if it wasn't ice cold.

    Awesome times with awesome friends! The staff accommodated my large group and served us incredible poutine. The portion sizes were also huge. I would highly recommend them!

    Philthy Philly's is the real deal when it comes to awesome sandwiches and poutine. They nail it every time with top-notch quality that's hard to beat. Hands down, they're the best in town. Definitely worth checking out if you're into seriously good eats

  • 4/5 M K. 2 years ago on Google
    We had two orders. Regular Philly steak - was very good and would order again. Poutine - wayyyyyy to salty - all I could taste was salt ! Would not go back for that. Overall, clean, fast service, friendly !

  • 1/5 Nahian C. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    I wouldn't know if the food tasted good because there was no fork! How do you guys forget to put in the fork with an order? What was the point in ordering from you if you didn't give a fork? Did you expect me to eat my piping hot poutine with my hands? Such a basic utensil and you can't remember to put in a fork? You guys aren't even busy at 9:30pm. How did you forget to put in a fork? In the end, the 30 dollars spent on this meal was wasted.

  • 5/5 Bajan S. 2 years ago on Google
    This young cashier was so courteous and I believe he is an asset to this location. I have had Philthy Philly's from a couple locations now and I can say that the food from this location is the best. I was introduce to this franchise at the beginning of the pandemic, the owner was working that day and she was really nice as well. Even though it a 35 min drive, this will continue to be our location of choice.

  • 2/5 Lauren B. 9 months ago on Google
    I hate to leave a bad review but the food was disappointing. Staff was friendly but they completely messed up our order. We came in late at night and the restaurant was completely empty, so it surprised us when we checked our to-go orders and found out that our poutine was just hot fries and onions. Kind of a bummer when you’re looking for a late night bite.

  • 5/5 Suren U. 2 years ago on Google
    Had great customer service with this location today. Thought they sent me the wrong grow-op burger, but it ended up being that (surprise surprise) the customer was wrong, and they indeed gave me the right burger (twice). Thanks to the server who made my burger and also refused payment on the 2nd, will continue to come here… also my mom loves the Philly Cheesesteak from here.

  • 5/5 Ruban J. 2 years ago on Google
    Burgers are always great!! The poutine gravy can be a little hotter as I ate it within 2min and it was on the cooler side. Besides that I enjoy the meal

  • 5/5 Nathaniel G. 1 year ago on Google
    i just left a bad review to a company not deserving of praise. that restaurant is not Philthy's. IDK who Philly is but he's a philthy bloke who now owes me pants. bro, you're getting me fat. btw, i'm still working on that large meat poutine. you could feed a family with that much content. I'm never making the mistake of ordering a solo large again. that's A LOT!

  • 3/5 Ryan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is great, my wife and I love it there and the workers are always nice especially considering how busy it always is but there is no philthy phillys online ordering options other than the food delivery services like ubereats ($ marked up). They used to answer the phone for orders but last couple/few months it seems like they never answer the phone anymore so if you want to get takeout you either have to use ubereats and pay a big markup or go there and order in person which sometimes takes 30-45 minutes. I understand because they are always busy but at the same time there have been many times lately that we’ve pulled in and seen that its full of people and just left. Also they stopped using the philthy phillys points program and I had enough points for a bunch of free food that I was saving up and now I can’t use it.

    Favourite local place for poutine. Today we got a large pulled pork poutine and it was awesome. Two of us tried to finish it but it was too much. Really tasty barbecue sauce with the pork and plenty of cheese curds mixed in.

  • 5/5 Nerina F. 2 years ago on Google
    The insane flavor and portion size not to mention the service, all worth the trip to Pickering.

  • 4/5 Chris W. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great! The price was great! When we arrived there was only one customer ahead of us in the store who was only ordering two items, yet we still waited close to 30 minutes to get our food.

  • 5/5 Joe C. 1 year ago on Google
    Haven't been on a while, the cheesesteak sandwich was great, fries were very, very good! Fresh,hot snd very tasty

  • 5/5 Sam C. 1 year ago on Google
    My 1st time going to this place and loved the service and recommendations by the staff there last night. The philly cheese steak was one of the best I have ever had!

  • 3/5 V A. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great service and ambience, but now a place I wont be returning to. I am s person of habit and once I find something I enjoy, I continue to be a loyal customer. But when free toppings are being used on a miniscule scale its niw disappointing. Last time and now this time the amount of cheese wiz on my philly is the amount you put on a knife. Charge me for it then. I get no other toppings otger then meat and cheeses. I would gladly pay more then the 17 u just charged me to have an adequate amount. I understand inflation but then charge me for it. And when I make a comment you then ask if i want more. At that point I dont, i am just so disappointed for something so small that I wont be returning. So sad.

  • 5/5 Richard W. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ryan D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the younger guys working there was extremely nice. The food is amazing, definitely recommend their sandwiches and the cheeseburger poutine!

  • 5/5 ward 8. 1 year ago on Google
    It's been a few years since I've been here but customer service is still amazing. Food was great too.

  • 5/5 Cee J. 1 year ago on Google
    A delicious spot to grab a mouthwatering meal with loads of flavour!!! And the sweets are bomb too .. A lil bit pricey but worth it (just over 70 for two adults- two large sandwiches, one poutine,two deserts and two pops)

  • 4/5 Gamers H. 1 year ago on Google
    Prices were great and portions are good but if you are planning on eating in, think twice. Chairs are super uncomfortable and the tables were dirty. Overall the service was reasonably quick and the food was good.

  • 1/5 Jesse C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had my order delivered. It was terrible. Fries were cold, the sandwich barely had anything in it and the drink was warm (wasnt even pulled from a fridge). When you over pay for a 6" sandwich you think you get something better than Subway. Guess I was wrong.
