Top Shot Golf - Trackman Simulator Bar

Indoor golf course

👍👍 Looking to do something with the kids? This is it. The owner is amazing with the kids and they love all the games they can choose from. I've tried other golf simulator locations in the area, and they don't compare. This place has way more space for us to golf, and you don't feel enclosed. Great way...

CrossFit Colosseum

Gym

👍👍 Excellent crossfit gym. Just about every class has a warmup, a skill section (which typically everyone does together), and a workout. Every single movement is demonstrated in every single class, and coaches actively observe to ensure that you're moving well and properly. Sometimes I'll look at th...

Dosa Eatery Courtice

South Indian restaurant

👍👍 We went to Dosa eatery for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ordered different dosas and all of them were delicious. Portions were big compared to other dosa places we have been. All dishes were reasonably priced. You will notice that the staff really want you to have good time and enjoy food....

Pizzeria Bros Hamilton (Hess Village)

Restaurant

👍👍 Went in on a Saturday evening for dinner, for the first time. Met the owner and chatted with her. She made the pizzas for my wife and I and they were amazing. Select from a menu of delicious pizzas or choose your own toppings. Dough is rolled in front of you. The thin crust pizza is approximately 11...

7Spices Pockets at The Oshawa Markets

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 If you haven't had a 7Spice Pocket you are missing out on a culinary experience like no other! Don't call youself a foodie if you haven't had a jerk or Ackee pocket! Absolutely delicious!!! A perfect fusion of flavour. We've been buying pockets for the past 4 years for events and family functions,...

Julian Loy Fitness

Personal trainer

👍👍 Julian is just incredible. His SHRED program was the fastest I’ve ever seen results in my life. Within a week I saw changes. I’ve worked with many other programs and trainers and never have I gotten results so quickly. I also had a surgery recently and became discouraged due to my limited abilities...

Hoagies Heroes

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Truly deserve the 5 stars!!! The chicken sandwich was juicy and flavourful! It MELTS in your mouth and is so delish. Grilled mushrooms, onion and peppers compliment the chicken beautifully for a balanced palette of flavor. So good that the sauce is not necessary, but their house sauce is very good....

Legacy Acrobatics

Gymnastics center

👍👍 Love Legacy Acrobatics! Alexa has the patience of a saint! She’s amazing with kids of all ages! My ONLY complaint is there are not enough boy classes! So, come on parents/grandparents, we all know our boys love to do flips so why not have them taught to do them safely, so there’s less chance of t...

House of Champions Kickboxing and Fitness

Kickboxing school

👍👍 I love the gym because it gets me in shape and I’m learning how to kick and punch better and stronger. I go there together with my dad and my friends. I can’t wait for my classes every day. And coach Alin is the greatest!

LEGACY STRONGHOLD | Muay Thai & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu BJJ, Mississauga

Martial arts club

👍👍 Bao takes a thoughtful and principled approach to everything that he does, whether that's training, building a curriculum for classes, or prioritizing his students' needs. Couldn't recommend this gym more.

9Round Fitness

Gym

👍👍 I have gone to 9Round for 5 years now. I have never felt so energized, welcomed and motivated at a gym in my life. What I love so much about it is that it doesn't matter what level of fitness you are at; you go at your own pace that you are comfortable with. I raved about it so much, I convinced my...

Chic Peas Veg

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 10/10 place. It was my first time having Ethiopian food and it did not disappointment. It's the only Ethiopian place uptown. Vegan food with flavour that packs a punch. The injera was soft and spongy. Ordered the sampler platter and it is restaurant quality (maybe even better). There were 4 types of...

Maple House at Canary Landing

Apartment building

👍👍 I recently toured these apartments and they are great. Brand new building with lots of amenities and events and cool services, they even have a music studio. Niusha was my leasing consultant and she was very sweet and helpful. Her service was so good that deserved a shout out. Keep up the great work...

Point Blank Martial Arts and Fitness

Martial arts school

👍👍 By far the best gym to train at if you are interested in martial arts. At Point Blank, Steve not only delivers comprehensive and engaging classes for all ages and skill levels, but he has also created a community of support and positivity to help the students thrive. Steve is extremely kind, patient...

Elevation Martial Arts & Training Centre

Martial arts school

👍👍 Prior to covid I had tried 2 other BJJ gyms, both decent, however not what I was looking for. I am into my second month at Elevation and have been pleasantly surprised: solid instructors, great comradery between students, everyone is helpful regardless of skill level. Highly recommend this gym, it...
