“This 120 year old enterprise includes a sugar bush, with horse drawn wagon tours, where you can see 30 kms of sap lines strung from 4,500 trees; a dining hall with rustic decor and a limited menu; a gift shop to buy products made on-site and locally; and a sugar shack where you can observe the sap being collected and distilled into syrup. It’s located between Barrie (20 minute drive) and Orillia (5 minute drive). There’s lots of parking. And very helpful, accommodating staff. We appreciated the gentleman who was overseeing the syrup boiling - he took time to lift up our granddaughter when she was not tall enough to get a good view. And the shop clerk and waitress who took care of us - it was obvious that they were used to multi-generation visitors and diners, and that they enjoyed interacting with children! Watch for the older gent who loads you onto the wagons! (He’ll joke, and pull your leg if you’re not listening closely, just to bring an unexpected smile.) We took our 2 grandchildren (aged 9 and 6) here on a sunny Tuesday during March Break. It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning. Time spent outdoors, and off the devices, just soaking up nature, and making a memory. Well done, Shaw’s!”
“Very delicious old fashion juicy hamburgers, with fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Nice spot to stop at for lunch. Friendly staff working. Come try out these old fashion burgers before they ”
“If you have a craving for a good piece of schnitzel, look no further than this highway stop. Located beside the Petro-Canada with plenty of parking. I was told everything is homemade, including their delicious house schnitzel sauce. There are three types of meat to choose from, with a huge selection of toppings. Have it in a sandwich or on its own. Everything is prepared, so things just need to be re-heated. Their cabbage rolls are excellent as well. A worthy stop while driving on Highway 11.”
“The food was amazing!The French fries we could not finish there was so much!Three of us eating them and we could not finish them all....lolThe price are good just like the food!”
“Best pizza I’ve had in a long time! Also Shawn (Sean? Sorry) invited me in from the cold and let me sit inside while I waited to be picked up from a tattoo appt in the same plaza. I decided to get a pizza after chatting for a bit, and it was definitely worth it. I will be coming back!Vegetarian options: There are options on the menu for pizzas without meat toppings”
“I usually get what I order and they are often busy at this location. Today was no exception. I normally get good service but they seemed out of sorts today. Always a place for coffee and snack.”
“I recently ordered a food basket from Danny's African Restuarant for my wife's birthday, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ordering process was seamless.The food basket itself was a masterpiece. Each item was thoughtfully curated and beautifully presented, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality and attention to detail. Every component exceeded our expectations and delighted our taste buds.What truly set Danny's African Restuarant apart, however, was their exceptional customer service. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure that every aspect of the experience was perfect. Their professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for creating memorable moments made us feel truly valued as customers.Overall, I highly recommend Danny's African Restuarant. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a culinary indulgence, their food baskets are sure to impress. Thank you, Danny's African Restuarant, for helping to make my wife's birthday unforgettable. We will definitely be returning for more culinary delights in the future.”
“We did the hops tour and even though it was pouring the day we went our guide was very engaging and we were able to still visit the hops field for a bit with umbrellas. What a unique experience! Loved trying the different brews and learning about the harvest process. The property is beautiful with lots of space to hang around and you can purchase tall cans onsite too. Will definitely come back!”
“I was greeted with a friendly hello and a smile. Vamil helped me with my order of the butter chicken rice bowl, the food was ready very fast and tasted delicious. He suggested I add on crispy onions and I am so glad I did. Thank you for the awesome service!”
“Very homey atmosphere, food and staff are amazing. We have been twice so far and will definitely be returning. All the meals we have had have been great so far, had the pasta both times and it was a good choice. Brussels sprouts are amazing, the cauliflower dish was very flavourful and was a good portion. For dessert we have had the crème brûlée and the Dark Chocolate Pâté we’re both amazing.”
“These hot dogs are absolutely amazing!! If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing out!! So many varieties and they are massive. Something for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Great menu! So happy to have this chain here!The owner is a wonderful, hard working man!! Had the pleasure of working with him previously.”
“2 fabulous ladies working there helped me decide what to order. Got perogies and a schnitzel sandwich - had a doggy bag left over that was another lunch!Food was really good, service was fast, price was reasonable.Parking: Immediately in front of restaurant, large parking lot to side of building too.”
“This is A WIMPY'S, lemme tell you, the service was phenomenal, the food was cooked well, and it's very well decorated.Kid-friendliness: It's nostalgic and it's always great to share your nostalgia with your kids :)There's also cool posters all over for them to look at!”
“Stopped in for dinner at this location and experienced great service coupled with delicious food! We had told our server that we were in a bit of a rush and she was able to serve us hot food quickly, in a pleasant manner. I recommend the wings!”
“We had mini submarine sandwiches, chicken burgers, jalapeno cheese poppers, all food was awesome. The topping options were great, special veg instructions were taken care by them. Thank you so much.”
“Amazing experience, great food and wonderful service! Can't beat a place like this. Only complaint I would have is it was a tad on the expensive side but you get what you pay for...”
“Super impressed with the sandwiches I purchest they were freshley made and the meat is actually real meat, other sub pla e cannot compare i would never lea e a review for any fast food place but this place is nice and so are the staff.”
“Apps were delicious.Bang Bang shrimp and Brussels sprout dish.Excellent...gonna do our Brussels that way.Bison Burger....not so good..more bun and condiments ..than Bison.Washroom was DISGUSTING. I could almost ...Almostcompare it too the Porta Pottys on some of the Jobsites.I have learned that the cleanliness of a restaurants Washroom....room represents the cleanliness of The Kitchen.So..We will not be returning to That location of State N Main.Montana or Kelsey in my opinion is a better option.”
“I love the interactions with Jasmine and Jill. They are both amazing and competent. My fiance and I always have custom special orders and they get it right every time. Service and conversation is always pleasant. Would definitely recommend!”
“The waffle was awesome, the pancakes a bit mushy in the middle. The server brought pancake replacements, ( they were still a bit raw and mushy in the middle but better). The server was attentive and courteous. $40 for a can of ice tea, a coffee, a waffle and 3 pancakes is normal for the Sunset Grill ( always a little more pricey than breakfast most places )”
“Very nice place to have breakfast and lunch. The staff are incredibly smart. With all the different types of drinks available you're able mix and mash whatever it is you're craving. I can't say enough about the employees and I really hope they're paid well as they have so many different drinks to remember. Highly recommend... also I've never had to wait in line unlike other coffee shops. Great job everyone.Dietary restrictions: If you're lactose intolerant and want to substitute milk for an alternative they will do it.Parking: There's always been lots of parkingWheelchair accessibility: They are on ground floor and have a button to open the doors.”
“Osmows is my favourite food joint, this specific location has only gotten my order wrong once, i asked for extra croutons and they didn’t give me any, other then that they’ve been ”
“Whoa!. Day and night. If you see my review from Bayfield Street MB, we left and headed to Orillia. That was a great idea. We called ahead and they happily got the shrimp ready for right when we got there. The person making our wrap did an amazing job blending the ingredients so we didn't get blobs of single ingredients. Friendly staff. Clean. Good food. Thank you!”
“Our server Jennifer was excellent. We arrived late around 10pm but the kitchen and serving staff were delightful. They took their time tending to each of us. Overall a very good experience considering the location being in the middle of nowhere.”
“This location is great! Clean, nice front of store parking.Your chosen item made right before your eyes with fresh as it gets ingredients.We chose make your own protein salads and paid roughly $18+tax per plate.Minimal dressing options is a disappointment as they ONLY offer:: Ceasar / Ranch / Olive Oil / Balsamic Vinegar / Lemon slices...Vegetarian options: Great choice for Vegetarian”
“Always a great meal, wonderful atmosphere, and superior service. Tuesdays are their discount pasta night, so they are very popular and affordable. We were seated immediately, and drinks were prompt. Very large portions so often split a spaghetti meal with my husband. They are very receptive to this and went out of their way to accommodate us. Brought out our meal on 2 separate plates, so we were very pleased and didn't feel at all any different from all others at the table. Even gave an extra piece of garlic bread, no charge. After eating until I was stuffed, I still ended up with a good sized take out of leftovers to bring home for another time. Great food, service, atmosphere, and price.”
“My meatball salad was good.I just wish they had more than half empty inserts of food, an hour before closing.If you’re reading this, you guys should try this salad with peppercorn ranch!!!!?”
“We have been twice and very much enjoyed our meals both times. The spicy chicken tenders are juicy and delicious. The onion rings are some if the best we've ever had. Highly recommend this place.”
“Parking: Very dangerous pulling in and out of location onto Hwy #12. Parking and navigating the parking lot can be a really challenging, stressful and dangerous during very busy times such as summer and weekends.”
“The food is fantastic, big fan of their pizza. It’s not a place for a romantic dinner, it’s a restaurant in the airport. With that being said, you will love the food and the service. You could compare this to a food court restaurant, except the food is fresh and a 100 times better and someone will in fact serve you. Also great local beer !”
