| - We finally visited Massey's for a family birthday get together yesterday. After reading so many rave reviews, I've been itching to try this place out and Massey's did not disappoint.
Located in a non-descript plaza next to a cupcake place, Massey's is literally right across the street (Liverpool, that is) from Zeera by the bay. I must say, I don't frequent Pickering waterfront restaurants anymore since my not-so-pleasant encounters after writing an honest review about one of the restos down there. But I digress.
Massey's looks quaint, even from the outside. It exudes a homey, neighborhood hang out vibe. And when you step in, it's an interesting mix of Jack Astor's bar area with flat screen TVs to the left and a laid back family restaurant with banquet seating (not all seating, of course) to the right.
We were a group of 9 so I am not sure what everyone ordered as we arrived slightly tardy with our 8 month old in tow. There were Caesar Salads, baked nachos, sweet potato fries being shared but since I did not partake in them, I can't say how they were but the Caesar salad seemed to be a hit with my little nieces.
For our mains, we ordered Schnitzel (with sauerkraut), fish and chips, bunch of different burgers and of course, the steak on a kaiser. I must say, I haven't been a huge fan of steak sandwiches in the past but Massey's offering has definitely made a convert out of me. 3 slices of thinly cut steaks were pleasantly marinaded and grilled to a perfect medium and for the toppings, your basic (but what more do you need, really) onion, lettuce and tomato sat atop a large bun. The Kaiser was also good, chewy enough but not dried out buns sometimes you get at other joints. I dribbled a little bit of H1 sauce for good measure and sunk my chompers to meet my match. All in all, the steak on a kaiser was a winner for me.
I did get a chance to try out hubby's burger which was just HUGE! It must've been at least 1/3 lb pattie. Again, the pattie was grilled to juicy yumminess and topped with a slice of cheddar, onion, tomato, lettuce and an over-easy fried egg. The runny yolk made a sticky eggy sauce to top this already over the top burger. It was a good burger. :D
Massey's was a great combination of good food, great value, friendly staff with a cozy neighborhood vibe. I love finding little places like these and I have a feeling we'll be coming back to try out Massey's other offerings some time soon.
