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“

“This place is okay, but I don't think it will be my first choice for dining in the area.

The service is excellent. I saw my waitress several times throughout my dining experience. She was friendly and accommodating.

The atmosphere is also excellent. I didn't feel too exposed or boxed in. I was far enough away from other customers to feel comfortable. The restaurant itself is designed well. A nice ambiance.

The steak and poutine I ordered for my kids was well received. They absolutely loved it. I ordered it to be done medium, and it was cooked medium. 4/5 on the steak. Very nice.

The chicken wings I ordered, however... left a lot to be desired. They were terrible, in fact. Although I ordered them with the Thai sauce flavour, they tasted flavourless. They just weren't enjoyable at all. Wings are a 1/5. Very bad.“

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

“We were so incredibly pleased with our stop at this location. We called in advance as we were showing up close to closing time from a road trip, and they were kind enough to be kind about it and accept us.

When we were having trouble ordering, instead of upselling us, Diane was honest enough to suggest a single combo upgrade so my wife and I could share and save us that cash. Although it was more than clear we were pressed for time, Diane never made us feel unwelcome or burdensome. She was professional and kind throughout our multiple interactions.

The food arrived promptly, and was very delicious. We got the roast beef dinner, which tasted so great. I wish the mashed potatoes were a little creamier and the bun not so hard, but everything was great. We finished the food promptly. It's interesting that I read a review that mentioned a watered down drink, because our ginger ale did taste a bit watery.

When our meal was still not done past closing, we were again not made to feel burdensome, unwelcome, or uncomfortable. I believe there were two managers at the back that we thanked and gave good feedback to and now this positive review! We actually hadn't been to Swiss Chalet in a very long time, and this has been a pleasant and welcome surprise, and maybe we'll start visiting more often closer to home“

“best Breakfast in barrie!“

“Farmhouse was a perfect venue for our wedding, the space is beautiful and the coordinator Tara was extremely helpful and responded quickly to our inquiries. We had a cocktail style reception after the ceremony, the food and drinks were excellent, and the staff were all lovely.

We were really happy with how everything turned out and we definitely recommend ordering the late night poutines!“

“The negative reviews of this place are honestly just bitter people.

This is THE Cafe for the south barrie area, we all come here to chat, study, relax, and enjoy some delicious food and drinks.

Service is excellent if you don't have unrealistic expectations of others.“

“A great sports bar to visit if you are in the area! I found the prices to be a bit higher than other sports bars, but I feel it is a fair price for the quality of the food, the atmosphere and the service. They also have live music on Saturday nights.

I definitely recommend the spicy pizza garlic bread appetizer, which was delicious!“
