Wow, first time going back in over a year now in 2024 and had a horrible experience. They changed the menu so my original order is now non existent. Got a selection of items on the menu and all of them were trash including the brisket. Only good item was the pulled pork tacos. On top of that it took close to an hour for our server to even come to our table. Then waited a long time on top of that for our disappointing food to arrive. It's gone down hill, I would recommend not eating here.

Our server took our order but we never got our food. It took over a half hour to get our drinks we had to ask many times. Other tables we being served but our table had the worst service I had ever experienced. The hostess, who is not a server ended up taking care of our table. She was amazing and it was her last night at this establishment. Management needs to step it up and actually help the staff rather than stand there with a pen and paper in his hand. We are not rude people, we respect servers and establishments as we know how hard they work. This is the worst experience ever. Staff walked out that night. Change the manager, add capable staff, treat your staff with respect, make it a healthy, happy environment for your staff and they will produce.

We had a great time at North Country tonight. We had drinks to celebrate our friend’s birthday. They tasted great and were priced right. There was a live band on tonight that was playing great music! We didn’t eat tonight but do plan to come back because the menu looked great. Thank you for making my friend’s birthday a memorable one.

I came here with some of my friends and family, I was not disappointed! The food was amazing with good portion sizes and it's clear the kitchen staff take care in their food. We also got to experience some live music which creates a great atmosphere that we enjoyed while at the bar. The serving staff were nice and the owner is a very nice man who obviously cares about his restaurant and his customers. I'm looking forward to eating there again soon as I can't wait to try more menu options, the nachos were amazing last time!

This place changed their menu and it used to be so much better. It's hard for me to eat here now because I know what it used to be like. They also charged me for my soda water refills... Not sure it's worth the money to come here anymore when there's a lot better food and prices down the street.

Superb ambience, scrumptious food, diligent service!! All in one!! Live music band just enhances the vibe of this beautifully themed Canadian restaurant.The food is so delicious.. French Fries literally melt in mouth, and Goat Cheese bruschetta..Extremely yummy. Pasta varieties, Calamari, Salmon anre some of the other yummy dishes North Country offers. Every sauce and every menu item is prepared in-house. All in all… it’s the perfect place for family, friends, occasions, or regular relaxation!! They also have opened up a Patio, which also has live band. Looking forward to visit again with friends… can’t wait to experience the patio vibes.

The ambiance is really good, i celebrated my birthday and it was one of my best birthdays, all staff sang a song for me , treated me and my frds so well, the staff was so polite and kind , they served a cake to me .
My husband and I took our 2 year old out for dinner and had a great time! We had the rib and wing combo, the brisket tacos and kids Mac and cheese. We went home with leftovers! Our son was gifted a toy car which kept him busy throughout the rest of the meal and the staff was so kind as to pick up the toys he threw several times. We highly recommend North Country BBQ.

Absolutely incredible dining experience. The food was delicious and very well-priced. The portion sizes were huge and filling. We had the pasta options and they were all amazing. The interior decor and vibe was lovely. The best part was the customer service, the servers and staff were very friendly and patient, and went above and beyond to make everyone happy. Near the end of the dinner, the staff found out it was my birthday, and they wrote me a card, played birthday music, and gave me a complimentary dessert. I have never had a better dining experience and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND going here. Delicious food with outstanding service in a lovely environment! Thank you so much to Malkit and the staff for making my stay in Barrie unforgettable!

I want to start by saying I have nothing against this place, the food or service...this is just an honest review of a mediocre place. We went on Sunday afternoon for lunch. The two servers that were there were not very well versed in the menu, or any of the drinks. I had a few questions about some of the beers on the menu (local? type? draft or can?) and the server knew nothing except "craft beer" which is an opportunity lost for them. The was overpriced for the quality and quantity....I spent $5 to upgrade the fries with my sandwich to a poutine and I got a tiny bowl with 20 fries, 4 sad pieces of cheese and salty gravy. Sandwiches and burgers were just ok. We ordered dessert, given wooden spoons because they didn't know where the metal ones were or didn't have them.This place is in a PRIME location and could really be a good spot but for a BBQ joint, they're just not doing it right. They really need to check out some other BBQ places to see what they do and how they do it before calling this a BBQ place. Or, they could just make it a "Made in Mexico" again which was awesome!
