“I went to Made in Mexico to celebrate the birthday of my great-niece. I had the birria tacos and really enjoyed them. The food is great, of course (I actually ordered another helping of birria tacos to bring home for a friend and shrimp tacos for tomorrow's lunch - if they last that long). However, what put this place over the top for me was the staff. Ozz in particular was outstanding. He let me practise my rusty Spanish with him and when it was time to sing to the birthday girl, he sang louder and more joyfully than everyone. He danced with her and she was all smiles. What a great atmosphere - sorry about the noise; we can be a loud family.”

“3 generations of our family have been going there. Never once have we been disappointed. The cheese buns and onion buns are a must. definitely a 5 star. would give 10 if I could, probably much higher. There is nothing there that will disappoint especially the baked goods. I can never go there without picking up the pizza bun to take to my son. He loves them as much now as when he was a child.”

“We just moved into the area and ventured out on a walk with our kiddos to try some of the local shops and found Jake’s Bakes. Wow!! We loved everything about our first visit. Jake is so lovely and kind, and really hit it off with our kiddos. The lemonades were so refreshing and yummy. And the BAKED GOODS — don’t even get me started because they’re delicious — every single one that we tried! We have decided that we’re going to frequent Jake’s Bakes for a coffee and a baked good as a weekend treat whenever we can!”

Quality of ingredients was top notch. It will be my new go too, also they do not close in the late afternoon, which is why I ended up trying them out!”

Yar and Noor are the experts in the art of Indian food cooking with many years of experience and they are so friendly to all the customers.

We said no and they said enjoy your time .We did and again we left knowing that is a place in Barrie you might wanted to add to seek and find list of where to eat in Barrie,Ontario soon.”

“I purchased chicken soup on a number of occasions for my Grandson who's 23 months. He calls the food yummy. I have eaten other food on the menu, and each time we have enjoyed it. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. This restaurant hasn't been open very long, but you should at least visit once, as you won't regret it. Some food like festival is made to order, which just goes to prove how on the ball these people are. We know that there is more than one shop. We visited Carib Dish at St. Clair Avenue West.”

Steak House • $$$$
“This steakhouse absolutely blew me away. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our experience unforgettable. The service was flawless, with just the right balance of professionalism and friendliness. But the real magic? The back patio. 🌿✨ It's a serene escape—beautifully lit, spacious, and perfect for a relaxed evening under the stars. Whether you're sipping a cocktail or savoring a perfectly cooked ribeye, the ambiance elevates everything. The steaks themselves? Out of this world. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they take pride in sourcing quality cuts and mastering the grill. If you're looking for a place that nails both atmosphere and culinary excellence, this is it. I’ll be dreaming about that patio and steak combo until my next visit.”

It is by far better than any competitors breakfast. Thank you”

“The funny thing is that I have lived in Barrie for seven years but have never gone to the Bull and Barrel Pub until today. It is an old fashioned British pub with regal decor that makes people feel comfortable as soon as they step in. I decided to get their meatball soup with their fish and chips. The soup was certainly needed as we had our first snow fall of the year. It had enough meat in it and the meatballs were bite size with just enough spice in the soup. On to the main, the fish was absolutely perfect flaky and full of flavour with just enough tartar sauce and malt vinegar (the proper way to add to bring out the flavor of the fish.the chips were prepared well a bit of crunch on the outside but fluffyon the outside. The price was very reasonable. I did want to mention the service. the young lady was polite, professional and very efficient. While it was not busy , service was very prompt. I forgot to get the sticky toffee pudding though. I will definitely be back . I hear they have an old fashioned rast beef dinner on Sunday i may have to check that out .”

“Selina was our waitress and she was lovely!
The interior of the restaurant leaves a bit to be desired. They must have been understaffed; there were napkins all over the floor and crayons and colouring books.
My parents also had to wait quite a while for their tomato soup and when it did come out it was thick and clumpy, not like it is usually served. My cheese cappelletti was delicious as always.
I feel the chain and this restaurant in particular have gone down a bit in the last couple years but my mom still loves it so we continue to come back.”

I know it’s hard to take your family out sometimes and sometimes you share what you all have. But how they treated us so amazing with sharing the meal with my family of 4, and we only ordered 2 meals. And the waitress was so amazing because my kids really wanted tot try the ice cream but it wasn’t in the budget… but she saw how bad they wanted it and gave it to them on the house. I’m telling you now I will be coming here a lot more.”

“We visited Harvey's on Thursday, June 18 at around 9:30 p.m., and it was easily the best Harvey's experience we've ever had.
We ordered buffalo chicken strips, a burger, a couple of hot dogs, a poutine, and two drinks, and every single item was excellent. The chicken strips were juicy, perfectly cooked, generously coated in buffalo sauce, and absolutely delicious. The poutine was fantastic, and the burgers and hot dogs were made with care and loaded with toppings.
What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. You could tell they took pride in preparing the food properly and making sure customers had a great experience.
This may have been the best fast food experience we've ever had. A huge thank you to the team working that evening. They deserve recognition for the outstanding service and food quality - it was a gentleman on the grill and a lady taking orders and topping the burgers.
Thanks again from me and my girlfriend, Christine!
P.s. Bathrooms and restaurant were immaculately clean, so refreshing and I can't believe I am this excited about a meal at Harvey's 😂”

Server was very helpful and helped us choose our meals. They also give you plates for each family member to share the main dishes.
Pineapple fried rice served in a vertically cut pineapple, stunning presentation! Everything is served colorful and hot.
Would recommend sweet and sour chicken and mango salad.”

“On one visit we had pecan encrusted lamb chops, with a side of the best seasoned frites ever! May not be on the current menu, but I would recommend The North on the basis their creative presentation of their appetizers, entrees, desserts, and drinks, and the friendly servers. The atmosphere puts you at once at ease. We left the restaurant with the feeling that our experience was excellent and worth what we paid for our dining night out!”

Mexican • $$
“I couldn't be more pleased. I spent time in the Yucatan (if you go, eat the carnitas there, preferably at a mom and pop shop. Cooked underground, wrapped in banana leaves, it. is. to. die. for). I used to live in San Diego. We would often hop across the border, sometimes to Tijuana and often to Ensenada, just to eat at the food carts outside. Any where the locals were, you could count on the food. It's similar here, except the Pacific Ocean is replaced with Lake Simcoe and I was eating inside the restaurant. Everything about it was excellent, brom the location to the view to the decor, the welcoming service and the food... omygawd, the food. I had a ceviche tostada that was to die for, it was so fresh and tasty. I had two carnitas tacos and an enchiladas enmolada plate. I brought most of the enchilada plate home and should have gotten more to bring home. The wonderful cook came out to ask me how I liked it after I raved to the server how yummy the ceviche was. I thanked her for the most excellent food and left a big tip. I live three hours away from Barrie, but I'll be back for sure!”

“went to Sakana house location at Big Bay Point with a group of 8 yesterday (Feb3), about 40 minutes into receiving our food, different individuals from our table start finding hair in the food while grabbing it straight from each platter. the first time a hair is found we mention it to the staff and just put aside the food that has a 10" hair in it. then it continues, long hairs, short hairs, black hair, brown hair, etc. each time we show the staff they take it away. after 5 times in a row we stop eating and decide we want to go. we ask to speak to the manager. no manager comes to us. a staff by the name of "Na Na" decides to say she was sorry, but everyone wears hair nets and it's busy...... we walk to the area where staff makes and preps food, not one person is wearing hair nets...... I again ask for a manager to which no one never comes. she then says she'd give us a discount on each bill for the trouble. I paying for 3, with a bill of $134 got a $10 discount for hairy food and we went elsewhere because we were still hungry at we were not there for long..... the table behind us found hair in their food as well, in their first plate. they left right away..... So If you want hairy sushi at full price, go here. I will be calling Food Safety and complaining about this location as well. 0/5 rating!!”

“Typical store sushi, which is convenient and reasonable quality. Unfortunately, it sits in the refrigerator after being made and never seems to have the same quality as fresh made restaurant sushi. Great when you’re in a hurry though.
Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian rolls and salads available.
Parking: Located inside Loblaws. So, lots of free parking.”

Tiki Bar • $$
“I frequent the Queens on the regular for the live Band circuit that is there both Friday and Saturday nights starting usually at 5:30.. it’s recommended to get a reservation if you expect a table weeks in advance. The staff are great and a huge shout out to Amanda and Clair especially! Let’s talk food! They have a great menu and the food has never been disappointing instead delicious and chef worthy. There is a short break at the end of the band but then a DJ comes on both nights for dancing. For the sports people there are multiple TV’s to watch everywhere! I totally spend my money here and enjoy its ambiance! 5 stars!”

“Walking along Wellington Plaza, I noticed a sign in a window advertising samosas. Since I hadn’t had one in a while, I figured I’d go in and give them a try. I was surprised not to see the usual samosas sitting in a warming oven. When I ordered, the very nice person at the counter asked me to wait a few minutes. I assumed he was just going to grab some from the back. Five minutes later, he came out with samosas fresh from the fryer. If you’ve never had freshly made samosas, you have to try Honest Restaurant. The pastry was incredibly crunchy and flaky — nothing like the ones that have been sitting in a warmer for hours — and even the filling was hot all the way through.”

“I have had the pleasure of dining at Noble frequently Every piece of sushi was delicious & fresh The very talented artisans who create the wide variety of sushi are incredible The only drawback is the washroom which doubles as a store room for cleaning items proper washrooms are needed especially during busy times Well worth the drive north Unfortunately I am now confined to a wheelchair and Noble is not accessible”

“Personally I think Barrie Burger has the best burgers in Barrie, and have for many years. I just wish their fries were a little better, but I go with onion rings anyway, and they are excellent. The service is friendly and quick and it has that, old fashioned burger joint atmosphere. Which I like. Give Barrie Burger a try, you won't be disappointed.”
Steak House • $$$$
“This steakhouse absolutely blew me away. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our experience unforgettable. The service was flawless, with just the right balance of professionalism and friendliness. But the real magic? The back patio. 🌿✨ It's a serene escape—beautifully lit, spacious, and perfect for a relaxed evening under the stars. Whether you're sipping a cocktail or savoring a perfectly cooked ribeye, the ambiance elevates everything. The steaks themselves? Out of this world. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they take pride in sourcing quality cuts and mastering the grill. If you're looking for a place that nails both atmosphere and culinary excellence, this is it. I’ll be dreaming about that patio and steak combo until my next visit.”

“The funny thing is that I have lived in Barrie for seven years but have never gone to the Bull and Barrel Pub until today. It is an old fashioned British pub with regal decor that makes people feel comfortable as soon as they step in. I decided to get their meatball soup with their fish and chips. The soup was certainly needed as we had our first snow fall of the year. It had enough meat in it and the meatballs were bite size with just enough spice in the soup. On to the main, the fish was absolutely perfect flaky and full of flavour with just enough tartar sauce and malt vinegar (the proper way to add to bring out the flavor of the fish.the chips were prepared well a bit of crunch on the outside but fluffyon the outside. The price was very reasonable. I did want to mention the service. the young lady was polite, professional and very efficient. While it was not busy , service was very prompt. I forgot to get the sticky toffee pudding though. I will definitely be back . I hear they have an old fashioned rast beef dinner on Sunday i may have to check that out .”

Extra tomato and lettuce and no mayonnaise on the blt bagel, no problem!!! Who doesn’t love a bagel freshly made on site?? Ordered the extra hash brown and both were super hot and crispy fresh-from-the-fryer. Coffee that makes my morning.

“Loved this place, came with my family and the service was amazing . The food was to die for. And they honestly were really amazing with my kids. I know it’s hard to take your family out sometimes and sometimes you share what you all have. But how they treated us so amazing with sharing the meal with my family of 4, and we only ordered 2 meals. And the waitress was so amazing because my kids really wanted tot try the ice cream but it wasn’t in the budget… but she saw how bad they wanted it and gave it to them on the house. I’m telling you now I will be coming here a lot more.”

The chicken shawarma is incredibly fresh, juicy, and full of flavor, and the beef is just as delicious and perfectly cooked. They also offer a great variety of halal fast food, including wraps, platters, burgers, fries, poutine, salads, and many other tasty menu items. Everything is prepared fresh and served hot.
The restaurant is clean, the staff are courteous, and the overall atmosphere is excellent. If you’re looking for delicious halal food with outstanding customer service, I highly recommend -Lazeez Shawarma Halal”

Pleased to see her quick and timely service. The ambience was great too. Loved their music Playlist. ❤”
