“5 STARS PLUS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️+ The BEST dining out experience in a VERY LONG time !!! Our waiter Mike was incredible 🥰 The service and food was exceptional and before we left we made another reservation. My husband and I are Italian and the food has such deep flavour all made to perfection, everything from the start to the very end (appetizers to dessert) was the BEST ! We both left there so extremely satisfied… experience it yourself - you will NOT be disappointed. It’s our favourite restaurant now, hands down beats any other restaurant in Orillia. Worth every dollar spent there. Can’t wait to go there again ❤️”

“Went to East Sides in Orillia last night and was served by Robbylee. She was incredibly bubbly anns outgoing and she was great with my children. She said she was newer but you wouldn't have been able to tell with the speed and quality of her service.
A nice girl and we hope to see her again next time.

“We had Kalvin and Krew as an integral part of our intimate wedding.
Darwin took the helm and guided me through every step of our affair to ensure our event exceeded the outstanding ideas we had cultivated in our minds.
We host a number of different parties, for work or clients or family....
They are my first call moving forward... Always
Can't thank you enough

“Oh! I can't say anything except the good. Great! Welcome and first hand offered lentil soup was so delicious and then chicken shawarma rice plate was amazing full of fresh and healthy food.
It was quite a big portion that one can eat with full appetite only, hope they will maintain this with the price is good and all the dressings was so good and delicious.
Honestly, after long time I enjoyed my lunch eating out and for sure will keep trying at Pita Land with their different menu items. Most important what I like they change the gloves for every customer which is great and people appreciate for sure.

Note: Please make sure your hot drinks are served hot. You can let the drink cool down but you can't quite up the temperature to ones taste once it's in the cup. Our lattes were barely warm for our tastes.”

“I was served the most delicious burger I’ve ever eaten. The made in house patty was succulent and cooked to perfection. The boar bacon was juicy. The pickled onions were the perfect pucker-y condiment. The local cheese was divine. Pair that with their top notch fries, beautifully seasoned and served with a house made ketchup. I’ve been dreaming about it since. Our server was wonderful, A1 service! She (I can’t recall her name) came for a quality check and I turned with a single tear running down my cheek and asked her to hold me, I was having a spiritual moment with my meal. The Innis & Gunn was cold and the lines were clean! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the food that we had! We will be back - and that’s a promise!!!”

“Theos has got to be one of my favourite restaurants! Tonight myself and 9 other family members dined in and had such a wonderful time! The food was fantastic, and our server Ally was phenomenal!

There’s a reason this place is always so busy!”

Brewery
“Great atmosphere and a busy spot, but we were seated right away and served within a reasonable time, especially considering the crowd. We started with the deep-fried pickles, which tasted identical to the ones at Montana’s—not a bad thing at all, they were fantastic! My son had the smash burger and really enjoyed it. I went with the nachos (skipped a few toppings by choice), and they were very tasty and satisfying. I didn’t try the beer this time, so I can’t comment on that, but the food and service were solid. Would definitely visit again.”

Our burgers were put together with such care and tasted great! Some burger places just throw the stuff on the bun and don't care. The people working this evening were excellent! Well done and much appreciated!”

It was the perfect marriage of flavors and textures. My wife had the veal parmigiana. The veal was tender and the sauce was spot on. The portions were perfect and the service warm and friendly. Highly recommend, and would happily visit next time in town.”

All that raspberry isn't cheap to make, either, and KLD does it without comprise to taste and quality. Thank you.”

“All around, no problems at all.Evrything went well. Attended for a late breakfast ( at 12pm) , ordered a wrap, chicken box with salad/fries and samosas.
Food came out rather quickly, and room to sit down. The wrap was in a very neat box, and flavour was full.
Chicken box was great. Fries were tasty, salad was goodz toppings felt fresh and sauce didn't feel too saucy.
Samosas were ok, pretty mid. Not the worst I've had, but certainly better than some.”

“I recently started going to this Tim Hortons and I’ve been really impressed! The food comes out super quick, but still tastes fresh and delicious every time. My London Fog is usually ready right when I pull up to the window and even if it’s not, it’s never more than a 2-minute wait, which is awesome during a busy day.
I have to take a moment to recognize Micaela she’s an absolute gem. Always respectful, kind, and professional, which is something you don’t always see these days, especially in someone so young. Her positive attitude and constant smile truly brighten up the visit. She’s a great example of what excellent customer service looks like.
Highly recommend this location 100% worth the visit!”

“I’ve been here twice while visiting Orillia. I have some newly discovered dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy) so since then eating out has been a bit of a chore- especially since I’m still learning all of the sneaky things that contain gluten.
Both times I’ve been here I asked the staff for assistance and they have been super helpful in recommending dishes that meet my requirements, as well as offer substitute suggestions. The food tastes great and is faster than a lot of fast food places. I will be making a point of trying to stop in whenever I’m in town and need some lunch.”
