About
People are talking... From Durham's best chicken wings (really, that's what they say) to sandwiches that are big enough to share to pasta dishes like you have never tasted before and entrees that look like they belong downtown T.O. In a fancy schmancy restaurant. Here at Bollocks we use only the best and freshest ingredients in our food. We believe in our food. We love our food and we have fun with our food. We have the best around.. How can we possibly say that you ask? Well... We have a very experienced kitchen staff with over 30 years culinary experience. Not only are they very knowledgeable, they are a little kooky. Which means, not only are they able to create great food, they are always up for a good joke.
If you're not in the mood to try our food we also have beer (lots of it) and wine (lots of it too) and a bunch of other stuff. We have daily specials...Which means we got cheap stuff every day (in price only, not quality) we have the best serving staff and bartenders around. (We can say that cause we hired them). They always have a smile, are friendly, will go outta their way to make your visit a memorable one. (I really think it is because they like their job, not because of the tips).
That's who we are...Come see for yourself

I love wings and I usually cook my own but I recently went to Bollocks Pub & Kitchen in Pickering for their Wing Night on a Tuesday. It was a great deal and they were really good!
I had the Garlic Parmesan Wings, while my friends had the Lemon Pepper Wings, and Honey Garlic Wings. All the orders came with a very generous amount of fries and a dip.
The wings were all large and perfectly cooked, crispy, and served hot. The fries were really good. I ended up taking home half of my order since I was still full from a late lunch.
If you like wings and love a good deal, check out Bollocks, especially for their half price wing deal on Tuesdays (1lb 7.50 | 1½lb 10.00 | 2ilbs 13.00).

Had lunch with a friend on the patio. It's a small, but intimate patio. Our server was Carmen and she very friendly and seemed to know her regular customers.
We ordered the Crispy chicken Sandwich, I upgraded to the onion scoops (which are bite sized onion rings) and they came with a dipping sauce. The chicken was juicy and over filling. My friend had the halibut taco's, which I've had before and they are always great.
Food was fresh and came out hot. Since us gals were catching up we were thankful not to be rushed.

It’s your typical old timey, neighbourhood type pub with rock music in the background. The service was great as the server was friendly and efficient. I liked that we went for an afternoon meal and the pub was largely empty, so made it way easier to social distance. They have a small patio too where you can dine as well.
The food was your typical pub fare, I had the chicken tacos with fries and the Raspberry cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. The cheesecake tasted like it had been in the fridge for a while and the meal itself was ok- not tasty but not terrible tasting either.
If you are nearby and need a bite to eat, then this is a decent meal.

Unless you just want to drink beer and watch sports don’t bother with it.
Award winning food that’s a joke, the food was terrible, my wife couldn’t eat hers it was way too salty. I had a peameal sandwich that was sloppy with dried up old fries. The place was a bit scruffy too and the waitress wasn’t very nice. Pity because I enjoyed my beer. That’s our first and last time there. Be warned.

We went to pick up takeout and since passports were lifted were thinking of dining in soon. We were given the new revised menu.
We were shocked to see alot of regular/favourite dishes were removed. All thats on there are hamburger, fries and wings. I mean who can eat that 2 to 3 times a week if you wanted to go there that often. Being a regular customer I'm offended.
So they increase their prices understandable but now taking dishes off menu AND THEIR NOW DOWNSIZING PORTIONS TOO.
Its the height of creed, now their opening another location besides Pickering, Stouffville and Whitby.
And they'll use Covid as an excuse for these changes?? What about years of fat times???
Save your money and time as there are other pubs out there that will appreciate regular customers.
It should be about getting your regular customers back and getting new customers in.
Kitchen going downhill.

We were a group of 10 with reservations, seated at nearby tables to maintain required distancing. The service was so-so. The food however was absolutely terrible. I had a double burger with peameal bacon. When it arrived, the patties were wafer thin (impossible to be 'cooked to perfection' as they mention on the menu, and I can't see that they were hand made). The peameal bacon was heavily breaded and deep fried. It was tasteless. I will never go back there. I can't understand how a place that used to serve fantastic food could go so far downhill. Change of ownership? The others at my tables had similar comments. No wonder we were the only ones in there. Take my advice and go somewhere else!

We went with a large group and it was mid-afternoon. Really good food. Kids and adults were all happy with everything! The atmosphere was a nice spot with TV screens and a cool bar.

Quite possibly the most tasteless food I've ever eaten. We had heard their wings were good - not so much. 3 orders, different sauces, all equally tasteless. If you breathed in really deeply through your nose just as you took a bite, you could kind of pick up a whiff of the intended flavor. The texture gave us the impression the wings had been boiled.
Even the veggie sticks (extra $) were tasteless - I have no doubt they were soaking in water for hours/days before we got them.
Major disappointment.

On our 1st night of arrival we had no expectation of meals in Pickering
We were happy with the service and food but having visited other places I would rate this as average for someone just needing a meal

Stopped in here for a quick dinner with family and was pleasantly surprised. They have a great menu. Several of us had salads, which were really good. They have a really great selections of bowls and salads and also had vegan and vegetarian options available. Service was quick and friendly. It’s a sports pub, so lots of TVs and not the fanciest of decor, but the beer and food are good. I imagine it’s a great place to catch the game. Will be back!
