Everytime I go here I'm always blown away by the service and the amount of food for price paid! Love Fil and Lisa. Gotta try Fil's hot sauce too. It's sweet and spicy, plus I bought a bottle for $7 to take home with me. What a treat! The decor is amazing too! I had the Hungry Cubs Breakfast and couldn't finish the toast it was so much food.

The staff here are very kind, the chefs humor is wonderful, the food is fresh + delicious, Nov.6 2025 treated my brother + I to lunch here....we had a lovely time, definitely recommend this place if anyone has time to try it out + would like to.
Nov.7 2025 - am going to donate a copper pot to thier place to help it out in the interior decor.
On a side note the chefs in house hot sauce is a wonderful balance from sweet and hot, I found it more sweet then hot.....try some on ur table u decide, I bought 2 at $7.00 each as it will be great for the chicken wings I bought at an earlier time at Costco....gonna have my brother over to enjoy them with me.

Our first visit to Fil’s Café was such a treat! When we arrived, the place was packed for lunch, but the regulars kindly offered to share their table so we could get a seat. We were greeted with complimentary cookies and “fart soup” 😉 — a fun surprise!
We ordered the souvlaki platter and loved dipping our fries in Fil’s very own hot sauce. The atmosphere was contagious — full of laughter, friendly chatter, and good vibes all around.
Thank you for sharing your love for friends, family, and food. We can’t wait to come back!

My boyfriend and I just ordered takeout for the first time and the owner was so kind. He knew we had a child at home so sent us home with toddler snacks as well as his homemade hot sauce. I am not usually a fan of hot sauce but this is AMAZING!! The Greek omelette was delicious. Good and service 10/10. Will definitely be back!

A lovely place with atmosphere. The food and service was great!
It has been some time since my last visit to this wonderful family establishment. My family and I stopped in for some breakfast and as always food and company was amazing! We were welcomed and greeted like family, that had been apart for to long. Phil now has his own signature hot sauce which is incredible! You need to go see Phil and his wonderful family at Phils Cafe. There is no other restaurant with more authentic family atmosphere than this one. I hope to be in Barrie again soon just so we can dine again. Thank you from the Turners.

A Hidden Gem with Heartwarming Service! We had such a wonderful experience at Fil’s Diner! I went with my husband and our daughter, who isn’t even two yet, and we were completely blown away—not just by the food, but by the incredibly kind and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home. They went out of their way to make sure our daughter was comfortable and entertained—bringing her toys to play with and even surprising us by making her a little stack of pancakes on the house! It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us as parents. What really stood out, though, was how friendly everyone was—not just the staff, but the other diners too. It honestly felt like stepping into a warm, small-town community where everyone looks out for each other. That kind of vibe is rare these days, and we’re so grateful to have experienced it. Thank you, Fil’s Diner, for making our visit so special. We’ll absolutely be back soon!
