Master Steaks

The Steak was over cooked and full of water! It haven’t seen a bit of spices or salt or pepper ! Honestly the worst steak I ever had!
The roasted potatoes were horrible and smelled disgusting! I couldn’t eat them at all!
The salad was ok and fresh but served with the wrong dressing.
If this would have happened to me in my home country I would have sent the steak back and left the restaurant without paying a cent but since I’am a foreigner and I had to pay up front I ate what I could and left.

That place is getting worse and worse. Ive been coming there on and off for the last 15 years. Last week ordered a 16 inch Delmonico steak with extra mushrooms and onions. When I got it the stake was covered with mushrooms and onions, so I could not see what was under. As I started working on my «steak» I noticed that half of it was fat. Basically I have paid for the whole steak and only got half of it. I noticed before that quality was down, but nothing like that. The whole meal costed me $ 38 .What a waste of money.

Love love love
Look it’s not the keg but you get a version of a ny strip or a rib eye but it’s not top end. But it’s huge and done right and quick.
The home fries are weird but the $ 15 12oz ny strip with eggs and toast and coffee were great. Lots of truckers and neat looking ppl.
Don’t be shy must try
Best part they made their own steak sauce so delish. Great now I’m hungry.
Please go. It’s no frills but a one of a kind. I’m from out of province so please go for me!
Ps they have any ATM or visa /​mc for a small fee

Steaks juicy but not much flavour.
No salt or pepper on table. Maybe up front.
Steak sauce is very good, buy extra.
Vegetables are boiled and flavourless.
Think 1960’s American military cafeteria.
Roast potatoes were pretty weak. Next time would get fries with gravy.
Tried fried mushrooms but were very flavourless. Again no salt or butter or flavour.
No air conditioning but not too hot.
Place is good tho. Price is low for solid healthy real food.

This place used to be a go to for me as the portions are generous and prices are decent. It started going downhill a while ago which didn’t bother me much as long as the prices stayed the same and the food was still good which it was for a while but not for long. I drew the line when I found a small cockroach or cockroach like insect in my food at first I thought it was problem just a chunky piece of gravy from the fries then it started to move: o I was in shock I had been munching away at my food till that point until that horrifying moment. It seemed like it was cooked with the food and just barely alive since it was brown crusty and moving its leg very slow. I got up showed it to the lady working there she looked at it for a while then agreed with no expression on her face… so I’m guessing this kind of thing happens often there. So while I try not to puke before I could ask for my money back so I can get out of there as fast as I can she tells the chef to put another one on. So I just sat back at my seat trying to process the whole situation in my head. Then they call me up for the replacement order and the steak was burnt and hard when the first one was tender and tasty were they mad at me cuz I found a bug in my food which was totally their fault? Anyway I took a few bites but the steak wasn’t edible so I left. I guess I understand now why their food was a few dollars less than steak houses when it comes to cleanliness and sanitary food you get what you pay for. I wonder where else they may be cutting costs. I would much rather pay a little more for good food and good service. This place seems to be inclined to serve the lower rung of society, but what can I say it is a real dive…
They also tell their staff to give the place good reviews. I wonder how much they pay the health inspector not to shut the place down.

This is my first review… the service was so horrible I could not control the urge to post a review about this place I ordered the 12oz Rib steak (medium well) with extra crispy fries, gravy, onion rings, and a Coke which came to a fair price of about $ 30 *please note I mentioned extra crispy fries three times* while he was plating my food I immediately noticed he gave me the same fries as everyone else not extra crispy like I ordered however I decided it was not worth the hassle to bring it up after my first taste of the steak I immediately noticed how under seasoned and thin it was but my biggest concern was how they over cooked it I clearly ordered medium well which should show some pink as you can see in the picture this was definitely over cooked but I do understand mistakes happen so I politely asked them to remedy the situation I also mentioned the fries what got me really upset is when the polite waitress told who I believe to be the owner he argued with me and tried to educate me on what a medium well steak should look like he even had the audacity to cut my steak in the middle to try to prove his point (even though I cut into it before sending it back) and please note he is doing all of this in an incredibly rude and argumentative manner Unilocalers can be the judge if this steak was over cooked as I posted a picture of it I have been to many steak houses and restaurants some best in the world including the legendary gallaghers steak house in Manhattan and café 440 on rodeo drive in Beverly Hills never have I seen a medium well like this nor have I ever witnessed this kind of service at the end he dis-​agreed to make me a new steak but would remedy the fries situation and keep my steak warm for me until the fries were done only when the food retuned the steak was room temp and the fries were fresh but even less crispy than the first time around

The perfect dive. Awesome masterburger and great sides. Very good value. Steaks are awesome and well priced. Always busy and great staff. Make sure you get the gravy.

This is my 14^th time coming here and each time they are always out of something. I have come at different times and days, each with the same result. Something is sold out or not available.
This time I got the fish special. Not much to say about it. Tasteless, oily and soft. Usually when I order fish and chips I expect crispy, tasty fish. Usually the fries are good, but even my co-​workers found them over cooked.
I will try again, just because I’m guessing the chef was just rushing.
The steak are really good and big, burgers I find are hit and miss.
Lunchtime is not a time to go if your want something fast. Weekends are the best time to go or evening.

Had the 16z steak great cook exactly how I like it veg fresh no taste mash potatoes with gravy ok but need to be more hot overall I would go back just for the steak the staff is friendly and Great

Upon seeing all the good reviews, my husband and I (regretfully) decided to finally give this place a try. This place is way overpriced for what it is! The food is ‘palatable’, but that’s about as far as it goes.
I ordered Steak on a Kaiser for $ 8.99. That would be a fair price if it came in combo form, but by the time I ordered Onion Rings and a Drink (plus Sautéed mushrooms and onions, which one would think should be included, but they also charge an arm and a leg for), I was looking at nearly $ 18 for a bloody sandwich combo — outrageous!
The Steak that came on my kaiser was a Striploin, rather than shaved meat, so I’ll give them that! But it’s just a slab of meat, slapped on the grill, barely seasoned and there ya go! Not great, but not horrible. The Kaiser was tasty though!
The staff proudly boasted that the Onion Rings were ‘hand-​dipped’, when they were nothing to be proud of at all — flavourless, pale in colour, almost ‘fish batter-​like’, retainaing all their grease — quite possibly the worst Onion Ring I have ever consumed, and the biggest shortcoming of the entire meal.
My husband ordered the 16oz NY Striploin meal — same deal and super overpriced as well! This is the kind of steak where I wouldn’t yell at him if he decided to slather ketchup all over it. His fries were nice though!
So in summary, if you want extremely overpriced, large ‘trucker sized’ portions and subpar food, this place is for you. I will say though that the staff were pleasant, so that’s always nice!

Had to be the worst steak I have ever eaten. No seasoning and the place was so dirty it should have been shut down.
Most of the time I like to try somewhere new even if it’s a dive. They have some of the best food. But this place failed on all accounts.
Will never return.

I’ve been doing this Unilocal thing for going on 4 years, and every few months, I’ll see a review for this place pop up. It’ll mention that it’s a Peel Region institution, mention that the building is no frills and a little worse for wear (expected since it’s been around since the 70’s) but over all that they grill a mean steak.
I’ll be honest when I saw it as I was heading for another meeting in the area, I was like «that’s it?!» But I remembered the reviews and figured after my meeting, given that it was lunch time, that it was high time I see what it’s all about.
Walked in and the place was clean but definitely dated and seemingly held together with hopes and dreams. That said, it was the only less than favourable note I could make. The staff were friendly and when I explained that it was my first time there, they took the time to walk me through the menu and how it works there.
After reviewing the menu, I couldn’t help myself and went in on a 16oz Ribeye cooked medium rare. The steak was cooked perfectly and although a thinner cut, was still SO juicy that I didn’t even need to take a sip of my drink until halfway through my meal. The steak came with a choice or potatoes OR rice, with veggies and a salad. Seeing the Greek flag behind the counter I knew without question I was going with the roast potatoes — amazing choice!
Even after upgrading my salad to a caesar, adding grilled mushrooms to the top of mny steak and ordering a drink the total bill (tax in) came to $ 26. Now where are you EVER going to get a quality steak dinner for under $ 30??? Not too many places.
This place is dangerous not thaw I’ve tasted their forbidden fruit… I anticipate several quick steak-​cations in the very near future

Heard about this place and passed by it many times. Thought I would check it out to see what it’s like. I was quite satisfied.
They have a great variety of steaks: New York, rib, T-​bone, etc. Unlike other steak restaurants, it’s not geared toward the more upscale diner but rather average folks who like a decent steak dinner without paying the typical steakhouse prices. It’s really a nice, laid back family restaurant.
As for the steaks, they can be big! Most places only offer 8 or 12 oz. steaks, but here you can get 16 or even 24 oz. steaks, and for less than $ 30. I myself ordered a 16 oz. New York steak, which included French fries, vegetables, and a salad, for only $ 17.99. With a Pepsi and including taxes, the bill came to $ 22 or so. I ordered the steak done medium-​well, although it was probably closer to medium when I got it. I suppose that’s understandable when you consider how thick the steak was, which is why I won’t really complain if it was slightly underdone. The taste was very good, like a nice homemade steak.
If you like a nice family restaurant and you grew up eating lots of beef like I did, you may want to check this little place out. Very affordable and friendly.

Go their for their juicy steaks and not so expensive pricing. … being close by to Zets, we were expecting good food and was not disappointed… haven’t tried their souvlaki yet… should not be half bad judging by their steaks …

We had the 16 ounce T-​bone steak meal with mash, gravy, onions, mushrooms and Caesar salad…
The steak was med rare, grilled to perfection. That was the only thing worth waiting for. With much disappointment the steak smelled off and absolutely no flavour. The steak sauce was the only flavour in the meal. The mash potatoes were cold, under mashed and the wrong kind of potatoes for its purpose. The gravy was watery, the veggies were from frozen, mushrooms from a can and the Caesar salad was over sauced and with fake bacon bits and a sad excuse for crutons. We spent $ 50 and suffered extreme disappointment. Next time we will continue our patronage at SCARBOROUGH FINEST.. T-​BONES RESTURANT

As usual their food/​dessert is amazing! My friend and I both found are steaks even more juicy than the first time!
Hidden gem is all I can say.

Well I posted a review about this place actually a pretty good review… saying how it’s got great steaks at fantastic prices… but the owner or whoever complained to. Unilocal and had my post removed lol guess they don’t like good reviews .
It said I might have the wrong establishment, because I said it’s like a truck stop… There is nothing wrong with truck stops just so you know… truckers are hard working men and woman who love great Food at fair prices. And all I said was this place is along dixie road near the 401 by a truck stop gas station so it feels like your on the road in a truck stop but get great food at fair prices and definitely check them out …
So.if this gets removed again well there’s discrimination for truckers from this place. I sure hope they change there mind and accept all good reviews cause I like this place alot.

For a 9.99 chopsteak I thought «hey you can’t go wrong». It was wrong. Overcooked and dry as hell, I couldn’t even finish it. Not to mention the new employee was really rude considering she still looked like she was training. The other one was good. Regardless, I have no interest coming back here for the chopsteak which was basically a burger with no bun that took 30 minutes to make. I might come back if it’s convenient and to try something else.

Great place to have an affordable steak. All the sides are amazing, the fries, the mashed potatoes, the gravy and onion rings are old fashioned and home made. The staff has gotten a lot friendlier since last I was here. All smiles while taking my order, I totally didn’t expect that. The venue itself is not so nice and clean :(, they really need to pay attention to that.
The steak is freshly grilled and you can see fire go up as the griller puts a new steak on. T-​bones are good, but really gotta be careful with the rib steak. I’ve had some good ones and some super chewy ones. Today, I asked for medium and my steak came rare plus. Not perfect grilling, if you ask for a medium expect a medium rare to medium well.
I like this place but they need to keep the venue a little cleaner. So I give it a 3.5. I’ve been here when it was cleaner, so I’ll just put a four star on account of previous, better visits.

Master Steaks has seriously run-​down décor, zero ambiance, very friendly cashier, self-​serve services, good quality steak and exceptional value.
Our steaks were good. The meat was tender; it was seasoned; the meat texture was good. It felt good chewing the meat! It was, however, not cooked properly. I ordered rare doneness, and the steak turned out to be blue to rare. My BF ordered medium doneness, and the steak was medium rare to medium well. I suspect that the heat of grill is not even. Overall, the grill did not make the steaks perfect, but it didn’t totally ruin them. Just in case they would overcook your steak, I would suggest ordering on the rarer side of your preference.
The pricing was unbelievably low. A 12 oz Delmonico steak with mashed potato was $ 13.99, a 12 oz prime rib with roasted potatoes was $ 16.99, a side lettuce salad was $ 1.99 and domestic beer costed $ 4. The side salad was fresh, but it didn’t worth the price. I would suggest to skip it when the cashier takes your order. They have other steak specials for T-​bone steaks, rib steaks, lamb chops, etc.
The ambiance was shockingly bad. My BF literally halted his steps at the door until I pushed my way through. Sure they could have used better light bulbs, right? A coat of paint would be really nice, but I got the feeling that it was wishful thinking.
Since I like my steak, and the value blows me away, Master Steaks earns a 4-​star rating on my book. If you care about the ambiance, it is a 1-​star restaurant, though. This is a place where you dine with people who won’t judge you for eating there, such as your family and your long-​term friends.
Oh yeah, I will come back for steak.
