Comfort Food Restaurants in Barrie, ON

“I recently went to Kelseys on Bayfield Street and had the Beef Tenderloin & Creamy Blue Cheese Pasta and it was delicious! I can't wait to get back and have it again. I hope it becomes a permanent item on the menu and not just a limited time entree.“

“Waitress was very attentive and friendly. Our orders came so quick“

“I need to recognize one of your servers for going above and beyond the call of duty. I took my 91 year old mother for lunch at Kelsey’s. Mom has mobility issues and is very unsteady on her feet. As we walked through the door, we were greeted by Sam. I asked Sam if she would mind getting my Mom to a table while I went out to park my van. Sam, to my surprise, took my mother’s hand and politely escorted her to a table.

In my humble opinion, Sam has a wonderful heart. Listening to her talk to the other patrons, you can tell she is honestly listening to them and she shows a genuine interest in people.

I have worked in customer service for 45 years, and, I can honestly say that I have only met a handful of servers who go the extra mile like Sam did. What a wonderful person!!“

“I wish there was a sixth star option for the service. We came here for a random date night but having Linda as our server for the night made it a special night for myself and my partner. If you’re ever here and get the opportunity to have Linda as your server, you’re in for a great night of personable, kind, and professional service. Overall, had such a great night but having Linda as our server tonight, truly made it such a great experience, by far the best service we’ve had anywhere!“

“Husband and I recently relocated from the Maritimes, stopped in for breakfast and we were not disappointed! Friemdly and promt greetings, quick seating, great atmosphere and decor, amazing and diligent staff. Barrie location is more than happy to accommodate those with needing smaller portions as an adult. Our server went above and beyond any service we have received back home. even heard her communicate with the chef directly, and when an ingredient wasnt available, instead of taking it off the menu for the day, someone ran out and actually picked up said ingredient .. top notch guest service! We cannot wait to go back and try their lunch menu!“

“Cannot recommend this place more. The staff is always amazing, this time we had Laurissa who was fantastic. The food is amazing and fresh, and the vibes of this place are immaculate. I’ve been here with my partner and friends countless times and have never been let down. Great local spot:)“

“A great place i ordered the incorrect item. the service was top notch, the food was out quick and fresh. They have a signature dish which is the chicken which i did not care for but not the fault of the restaurant it sells well but everything was clean and organized.
The offered dessert came to our table often and took good care of us. next time i would get the steak. Prices were average.“

“Great for studying or dates or just convos in general.

Went there with a buddy from church, good vibes, good food, good service.

Smells like coffee... like the good kind... honestly amazing business.

Would definitely go again!“

“The service was great but I cannot say the same thing for food. I had crispy sweet chilly rice bowl but it was floating in the sauce. Rest of my family ordered burger but it was ok. They have tons of other choices on the menu though, maybe I did not pick the right one. The French onion soup was really good.“
