One of Pickering’s most historic restaurants, Massey’s, has been open since 1965. A family business since it opened, Massey’s has grown from a small take-out burger joint to a full restaurant.
“My father started the restaurant,” says current owner Don Argiro. “I’ve worked here on-and-off since I was a kid, and now my kids work here too. It’s a true family business.”
Offering traditional Canadian food, Massey’s is famous for its burgers and sandwiches. “From steaks and sandwiches to the perfect burger, we have something hearty and delicious for whatever you’re craving.”

I have been coming to Massey's since I was a 6 year old kid playing hockey in Pickering. I am now 47 years old, and it's still a great as it always was. You'll be shocked, but in all these years I have only tried the three above menu items - Why? Because they are perfect! I travel from Yonge & Sheppard to massey's in Pickering at least once a month for my "Steak-on-a-Bun" fix, which is almost always accompanied by Fries with Gravy, or occasionally by a big, crunchy-fresh house salad when guilt gets the better of me. The steak is perfection - big hunks of completely fat-and-gristle-free, melt-in-your-mouth marinated steak ~ tender, moist and not overcooked, yet deliciously charred on the outside for that yummy grilled flavour. Gotta have mine with just HP sauce, onions and sliced pickles, but traditionally comes with lettuce & tomato. Throw in a large order of fresh-cut fries with dark, beefy gravy on the side, and I'm in heaven! Trust me, there's none better, anywhere in the city (or probably on the planet). Go there, ignore the whiners... you'll thank me :-)
We ordered burgers but came home with very greasy Fish and Chips. Everything was dranched in grease and We ordered hamburger, fries and onion rings but came home with Fish and Chips. We called the restaurant and they offered to redo the order if we come back However, we don’t leave that close so we decided to keep the order. Big mistake Everything was drenched with grease and not really edible. Both my husband and I tried had a bit of a fish and some fires but we had to throw most of it out Absolutely will not go back or recommend this food to anyone.
Our waitress Tonya was fabulous! Food was very good and portions were large for the price paid. The restaurant was very busy but we still got our food quickly and the service was phenomenal - even when Tonya was busy another waitress would see how we were doing. 2 large meals with alcoholic beverages including tax and tip for $40? Who could ask for anything more? We will definitely be going back again and again.
The alfredo sauce was gray and overbearingly tasted of roasted garlic, not much parmesan cheese in it, was grey. The shnitzel tasted like it had been cooked and then frozen and reheated. The shanghai noodles were okay, but not much flavour. The waitress and manager did not charge us for the alfredo after we complained. We'll never go back there again. And by the way, we are not past employees!
They served me, my wife and her father the absolute worst burgers we have ever had - no exaggeration! We initially asked if we could get them at least medium rare but the server said it was their policy to cook the burgers until there was no pink showing. Well, not only was there no pink showing, there was mostly black showing. We joked to ourselves (but seriously) that they tasted like hockey pucks....which they did. We should have immediately sent them back but, instead, complained to the server who,we thought, might reduce the bill or something to rectify the situation. No such luck. All we got was a sorry and full Bill. Too bad. We have had burgers here before, a few years ago, and I'm sure other items on the menu are fine.....but we will probably NEVER go back there again.
