Kips Flamin Burgers

We are still on our mission to try out as many new places in our new area as we can :) Last night we tried out Kips, a burger joint in the same plaza as the No Frills at the South-East corner of Brock & Kingston. We went in to order and the place really did have a Johnny's feel to it, Johnny's is a traditional style burger joint at Victoria Park & Sheppard in Toronto for those of you who don't know it. Kips had a grill right in the front, so you can watch your burgers being cooked and a pick your toppings setup similar to Licks/Harvey's. We grabbed burgers, fries and milkshakes and all were delicious! For sure will return!

I Love Roti
About two weeks ago I also tried out I Love Roti, which is in the same plaza as Kip's. A friend mentioned that they were decent, so I gave it a try. It was very good :) Another place that I will be returning to! Surprisingly there seem to be quite a few Roti places in the Pickering area, and this place is actually rated #5 on Restaurantica - Pickering. Paul Wong's was rated #2 by the way...

Great Wall Buffet
Also a few weeks ago, we tried the Great Wall buffet on Kingston just west of Liverpool. Was semi-happy with the food and would have been more happy if the prices were in line with the product. It is not as well done as Mandarin, but yet they charge similar prices. So if we are looking for the Chinese buffet experience again, we will be skipping this one and heading to the Mandarin. It helps that it is only just down the street from us. But for now we will be exploring more unique and one off types of places ;)

Makimono
I have also previously tried Makimono (before moving in), a Japanese place on Liverpool just south of the 401 on ramp. It was good, but I would only go there with someone who has been before. It is better to have a veteran with you, because the menu is large and if you order too much and can't finish it...you have to pay extra for everything that is left over. It is definitely an experience, and I would recommend it :)

Waterfront Bistro
Another place we love, and a bit classier is the Waterfront Bistro. It is at the bottom of Liverpool by the lake. We held one of our neighborhood get togethers there and were surprised at how much we liked the place. We will definitely be going back for a special occasion, and hopefully in the summer when the area is bustling with activity and people.

Massey's
Lastly, a place that we have been visiting while coming to check out the site on the weekends before the move - Massey's. It is located on Liverpool about 5 minutes south of the 401. We love Massey's, it just feels like a neighborhood family type of place. They have a huge menu with tons of comfort type foods. We have been numerous times and enjoyed every visit. We have also brought various friends and family members there and most everyone has loved it too. This will for sure be on our list of places to go for years to come.
