The Caesar Salad with a Twist was great, the air-dried prosciutto was super thin and crispy, with cornbread croutons and fried capers, definitely a nice "twist." The fish taco was good too. The Open Face Prime Rib was a bit disappointing. The beef was dry and had a strange smell. It's not that the beef itself was bad, just that it didn't seem to have been cleaned or prepared properly. Service was great. We had to change tables twice, and they were very accommodating.

The Caesar salad comes with a touch of prosciutto and fried capers. And the Naanwich has spicy jerk chicken (with a nice kick), and pickled veggies, all a bit odd, but tasty.

It's going to be a tight fit with just three tables of four. Hang on tight, it's a culinary delight of Canadian and American flavors! Start with the dry ribs. Amazing!!!!! Try some Jerk chicken poutine. Fantastic!!!! Another beer/wine/sparkling to cleanse the pallet. Your going to need it. Cesar salad to cool your tongue down, cold romain with house made dressing with just the right amount of anchovie for some light kick. Finished with fish and chips, light battered fillet atop a mound of fresh cut fries. Mac and cheese three with truffle oil and shallots. Flavor abounds! Fete du complete with their double chocolate brownie to end this flavor extravaganza. Wow.... How one Chef in a tiny cottage kitchen can produce this quality of food......I don't know how, but keep it coming. Outstandingl restaurant and staff.

Simple menus with something for everyone's tastes. We had the burger (which was indeed homemade), poutine (best in Bala), salad and the mac and cheese. Everyone was very pleased. When walking in - the small interior will throw you off but if the weathers right - the patio is awesome. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for affordable and something the kids will love. Service and food were top notch.

UNCLEANLINESS & POOR SERVICE…read more The restaurant's floors were sticky and the bathroom had a stinky smell as if someone peed on the floor and did not clean it for a long time. The service was slow and poor. It's called "fast food" not "slow food". The cashier was impatient and had a annoyed look. When my food was being made I noticed the cook didn't wear any gloves. When making the grilled chicken wrap, he used his hands to grab the bacon and chicken. After cooking, he did not wash his hands and continued to mop the floors! The food was not that great either. The only thing that was remarkable was the onion rings which were thin and crispy. This Harvey's was also serving Swiss Chalet food. I got the strawberry shake which tasted overly sweet and artificial. The classic burger was cold when I picked up my order. It was bland and had no flavour other than the pickles. I've never seen a fast food joint with such poor hygiene! I would not even come here because of the terrible service alone, but knowing that I ate food that was made from someone who cleaned the floors and made food without wearing gloves or washing their hands will always haunt me.

The chicken was fine - the usual rotisserie chicken from Swiss Chalet - but the fries were horrible. They were pale, skinny, tasteless and barely edible, not the usual crispy, soft-centred, plump, tasty fries you would normally get at a Swiss Chalet restaurant. Very disappointed that they would substitute these inferior Harvey's fries in Swiss Chalet orders. Also for take out, why would include plastic utensils in the order? Do they think people buying take out don't have cutlery at home? Won't likely be returning to this location.

We stopped by for a hearty breakfast before we started our day snowmobiling and boy did we get that. Walking in, we were welcomed by two ladies to sit anywhere. The dining area was nice and cozy, giving a cabin like vibe. The menu had your typical items ranging from your breakfast combos to breakfast sandwich & grilled cheese options. I opted for a farmers wrap with home fries and my husband went with bacon, eggs and rye toast. My farmers wrap was delicious - it has cheddar cheese, eggs, hash brown, sausage and bacon nicely wrapped. My first bite a nice crunch to it and it was dripping with all delicious juices. Swing on by if you're looking for a nice home cooked breakfast!

Boston pizza was overwrought with tourists (and I'm not personally a fan of the chain), so this seemed like the best option. It's a family run business, a polish family owns it and they live upstairs. Communication might be a bit difficult and the service was a bit slow, but the food was good, the drinks were just what we needed and we didn't have to wait 2 hours at the Boston pizza to be seated. There were some bees and flies out on the patio that were bothersome, but hey it's Muskoka! One of the women who worked there brought out water and pieces of turkey out for our pup to enjoy, which was really nice of her. We ordered the almond pastry, a few beers, the polish sausage, pierogies and a cappuccino. All were great. They closed pretty early, around 3p, but not sure if it was specifically because were there on thanksgiving.
