Pebbles Family Buffet - Durham, Ontario

Les Dodos

Par hasard nous nous sommes arrêtés chez la famille Pebbles. Le magasin est très bien achalandé et les produits bien présentés. Les filles du service on le sourire et sont très efficace et gentille. Le buffet est très bien avec beaucoup de salades, de bonne sauces à salade. Côté viande, c’est également bien présenté et le steak grillé minute était vraiment bon. Comme nous sommes européens nous avons une autre approche de la cuisine et le sucre présent dans chaque plat ne nous a pas plu, mais je crois que c’est culturelle, néanmoins salade et viande grillée ont su nous régaler et nous faire passer un très bon moment à cet endroit ! Les dessers avaient l’air très bon mais nous nous sommes laissés inspirer par les très bons fruits frais du buffet.

I really enjoy eating at this restaurant. The food is very delicious. I like the salad bar, broasted chicken, homemade burger and the pecan pie the best. The apple cider is good, too. The service is always good. Today the lady who served our table is Lindsey. She is so warm and friendly. The restaurant store is worth visiting as well.

After hearing about Pebbles from a co-worker I decided to take my sister to check it out. I live in London, On so it takes about 2 hrs to drive there. Let me tell you - it was absolutely worth the drive! The staff is cheerful and so helpful! The food is absolutely delicious!

The steak (grilled to your liking) was perfect and melt in your mouth delicious! The salad bar was filled with delicious options for making a fantastic salad! Everything is homemade from scratch, everything was hot and fresh!

I tried the rice, mashed potatoes, beef gravy, roast beef, sausage, steak (grilled perfection!!) and had delicious cherry cheese cake for dessert. The cheesecake was the best I've ever had!!

The restaurant was spotless, as were the washrooms. The staff takes real pride in their place and treat their guests wonderfully.

I will definitely make the drive again to return. It was just amazing!

Where do I start? My sister Charity and husband Brett wanted to take us for dinner a few years ago. They said that we were going to the”best buffet that you will ever have”. That’s a pretty tall order because this cats been around the block a few times and eaten all over North America. I hardly think the food in this little town in the middle of nowhere is that good… common
Well holy blessings from heaven above this place ended up being just that. You are greeted at the front door by a friendly face and nice smile. Next you will be seated in a gorgeous dining area. The best part is the food though.
A massive buffet of Canadian cuisine is waiting for you fresh and homemade. Everything is made from scratch and the meat is raised right in the area by local farmers and smoked on site. To say this meat and poultry is better than average is a vast understatement. The texture is chewier than normal meat because there are no additives or protein pump. It’s fresh and the animals cared for in the best possible way. The pork chops are cut thick, smoked wonderfully and then finished on the BBQ. The sausage is to die for, made and smoked fresh and then finished on the open flame. Steak served the way you like it. Homemade bread and desserts of all kinds. Cheese cakes, coconut and apple pie , rhubarb crisp; they have an ice cream machine with all the toppings.
My first time there I hadn’t tried anything and was still at first glance not impressed. I saw meatloaf on the buffet and laughed. Who puts meatloaf on a buffet? I had to try this, my sister and her husband must be crazy. I got to my seat and started to eat. Every bite was like I was tasting the way things are supposed to be made for the first time…. I couldn’t believe it! I got to the meatloaf and ate my first bite. It was like heaven in my mouth and God talking to me telling me to go eat more. It’s so tender and the taste was different than I had ever had before. It was like cabbage rolls and meatballs and meatloaf in one bite… I could not believe it! Miracles do happen! I went up for seconds at a buffet for MEATLOAF! Wow my brain was hurting. What was going on here?
I left the restaurant in awe and shock. Never before had I had such good food. They also have a store that sells preserves, meats, ready to eat meals, fudge, cheese of all varieties fresh, gifts and cards. Baked goods line the shelves, pies are on display for sale and all kinds of fresh bread. There’s a play area outside for the kids. The bathrooms are spacious and cleaned regularly. There’s a baby changing area.
We officially had a new favourite place and I have to recommend you stop in for a bite my friends! Mmmmmmmmm yummy, yum, yum! Your mind will be blown and your mouth and body will thank you! Peace and love and blessings my friends. Enjoy

Excellent service alongside clean and elegant dining rooms, serving area, and bathrooms. The food is truly amazing with many options including dessert. We visited from nearly two hours away and would not regret it. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Canadian/American comfort food (or food in general). A truly hidden gem in Ontario.

The food was fresh and plentiful, the options turned over very quickly, so they were always fresh. My pictures show the vast selection from the hot trays which included ribs, bbq chicken drumsticks, to some pretty great broasted chicken, the Mac and cheese was certainly worth sampling, actually everything was worth at least trying. The salad bar was very fresh not a speck of brown on any lettuce or vegetable… if you are a soupy there were three options with crackers, fresh buns and bread. If you don’t like broasted or bbq chicken, there were chicken strips, if you don’t like chicken there was battered haddock, roast beef, meat loaf, the list goes on… you can get grilled burgers, sausages, pork chops or steak (the steak was a bit chewy, but this is a buffet not a steak house, kudos to Pebbles for offering steak in this economy)… if you still have room for desert well six different kinds of homemade pies await your salivating tastebuds, I’m sure they change tonight’s offerings included pecan, coconut cream, lemon meringue, strawberry rub barb and more… soft ice cream chocolate and vanilla or swirl together with toppings or fresh fruit, squares and brownies, chocolate hot fudge pudding (wow it was good)… our server was super attentive (not an AirPod to be found)… the bathrooms were very clean, the whole restaurant was clean and fresh. Pennie’s is worth a visit, there is also a gift shop with all kinds of parting gift options, heck you can even get a take out box and pack it full for the ride home….

Super friendly atmosphere and very nice staff. The food was good with lots of selection but nothing really blew me away. I don't feel like it's really amazing value for the price but definitely worth a try.
Make sure you come hungry!

This was our first time at Pebbles and a place we will visit often. It is a large buffet with something for everyone and the food is farm fresh to table. I have never liked everything on a salad bar, but at pebbles I loved every item served in the salad bar. Absolutely delicious. The desserts were the best we’ve ever tasted. Would highly recommend trying the buffet, if you haven’t yet. What are you waiting for?
