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.”

Masseys is a great place to go for a casual dinner out. Always a good meal with big portions and very reasonable prices. So many options on the menu! Great service and friendly staff!
Heard a lot about this place and even saw them on tv on durham dining but all three of us, 2 women and one man, were very disappointed in our meals. Fries were reheated, salad was very very bland and all of us had upset stomachs afterwards....
Massey's is a landmark in Pickering. Always there, never too long a wait, if any. We usually have great meals but lately not so good...perhaps new staff in the kitchen? Souvalaki on a wrap shouldn't have chunks of beef that big...honestly it's a health hazard! The nachos appetizer had a minimum one pound BLOB of melted mozzarella cheese on top of spaghetti sauce (incidentally spaghetti was the special that night!) The staff are always friendly.
Have had some lapses as of late...waiting for milk for the tea until the hot water had gone cold
...couldn't seem to get any ones attention even though the place was only 3/4 full. But we have never been disappointed by the chocolate cake...the slice is big enough for 3-4 to share!
My friends and I have been to Massey's on three...
My friends and I have been to Massey's on three different occassions and each time the food has been acceptable. Nothing fancy, exceptional or anything that has a homemade feel to it.
The portion sizes are decent, but nobody was really impressed with anything in particular. The first time we went, the nachos were quite good (and the reason we went back the 2nd time) , but the next 2 times, they were sub par. Not sure what happened, but they were soggy and bland tasting.
The patio is the better choice because it provides some atmosphere during the warmer months.
I have been dining at Massey's for as long as I can remember. The food is AMAZING! I've ordered, or at least sampled, probably everything on the menu at least once and have never been disappointed. YES, they love their garlic and the staff will be the first to tell you so. If you don't like the meal, they'll usually take it off the bill, UNLESS YOU EAT THE WHOLE PLATE AND THEN TELL THEM IT WAS BAD (DUH!!!) The staff is so friendly and full of knowledge, always ready to make a suggestion or offer you their favourite dish(es). Someone mentioned previously that they have a high staff turnover, which appears to be true but it's only because of their high standards! Other loyal customers will know that many of the servers have been there for over 5 years (Randy, Erin, Holly... yes, I know their names! and they know mine, always greeting me by name and with a smile!) The managers do a great job, too! Although, the we miss the blonde manager, the place runs great and is ALWAYS packed. Usually a wait at the door during lunch hour and on weekends but it's totally worth the wait, trust me.
to whomever said the food is over priced... are you nuts? Have you seen the HUGE portions they give you? Always includes a starter salad or soup, too. And also, to the "greasy fish person"... don't order DEEP FRIED food if you don't like grease. Common sense, no?!
ANYWAY, thanks Massey's!!!! See you soon.
