Brewer said they use deep well water that has a high mineral content. Makes sense as the area is very rocky. Had the Iron Man, Claim Jumper and a Vienna Lager. Proper 20 ounce pints for once ! Service from Rhea was great. Friendly, helpful and responsive. Great space as well. Locals chatting and a welcoming vibe. Highly recommended.

Bancroft Brewery Pub - A Hidden Gem Worth Stopping For!…read more We stumbled on the Bancroft Brewery Pub on our way to Barrie, Ontario, looking for a quick lunch--and wow, did this place exceed all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the warm, rustic atmosphere. They have a beautiful patio, which would be perfect on a sunny day, and our waitress was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and super helpful. I ordered the Iron Man Burger, and it was hands-down one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Juicy, perfectly cooked, loaded with toppings, and a very generous portion--it left me full and satisfied. The sauce was so delicious that I wished I had a whole jar of it to dip my fries into too! My wife went with the Fish and Chips, and they were equally impressive: crispy, light batter, tender fish inside, and also a very generous portion. She was all smiles and cleaned her plate without hesitation. On top of that, the service was fast, and everything came out piping hot. Whether you're just passing through or looking for a new favorite spot, Bancroft Brewery Pub is a must-visit. Amazing food, big portions, great service, and a cozy, welcoming vibe. Two thumbs up, five stars--we'll definitely be back!

I tried to contact McDonalds Canada to prevent others from being poisoned, however the AI automated complaint system had me jumping through hoops so I gave up since my energy levels had been brought down to about 10%. Lost just under 10 pounds throughout the week of misery and MONTHS later my gut still hasn't recovered. Went from being able to eat anything in any amount to worrying about every single meal I eat, as the "wrong" food just doesn't digest properly anymore. I just visited the doctor and he says I have IBS. Thanks for giving me IBS McDonalds. All over dirty bean water.

Okay, let's update this place, shipwreck that it is…read more.. I was in that mall one day with hubby and sure enough he wanted chicken. Might as well try this one again as there was no other chicken nearby. Went in, checked out the menu board. I can't remember the exact prices but it was very expensive for a similar-to-KFC kind of meal. Settled for one piece and if I remember rightly it was about $10 with tax. Way too much. For heaven's sake, a medium order of fries is about $7, correct me if I am wrong and I will gladly change this. Hubby lost his appetite, since he was paying. They are still smelly spraying cleaning solutions on the tables right in front of your food so we had to cover it, but that hardly matters after what I am going to tell you. But, as we were waiting, things went from bad to really bad. A girl came bouncing out of the cooking area, wearing rubber gloves, to greet what I think was her boyfriend. She touched him, her surroundings, and her own hair with those gloves. Back to the kitchen she went and returned shortly after, carrying a box of food for the boyfriend and still wearing the rubber gloves. I am quite sure she didn't change those gloves in the kitchen after the first little visit. The dirty gloves should have been removed before she left the kitchen, and certainly not worn back into the kitchen once they were out and about being contaminated. They both sat down, and she kept the gloves on, and touched everything she could. Then she returned to the kitchen to make more food, and again I am quite sure she didn't change the gloves. UGH UGH UGH. This may be a new winner for the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. REMOVE YOUR DIRTY GLOVES WHEN YOU LEAVE THE KITCHEN. DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR OR YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HAIR OR ANY PART OF ANYBODY'S BODY WHILE WEARING KITCHEN GLOVES. WASH YOUR HANDS AND PUT NEW GLOVES ON WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE KITCHEN. GOT IT? We left, never to return again.

Menu prices were a bit on the high side especially since posted prices did not include taxes! We ordered 3 regular burgers (no cheese or bacon), a large poutine, large fries and 3 drinks and our tab was close to $50! I had to veto the ice cream dessert! The burgers definitely tasted home made - a bit on the drier side but they were generous with the toppings so that made up for it. There's a nice outdoor seating area to eat in. Staff are very friendly and offered things like extra napkins and paper plates to divide up our meal. They let us use the indoor bathroom for our little guy instead of the dark and scary outhouse! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area for a meal you don't have to cook yourself!

More like a chip truck out back of the tourist curio shop…read more Meats are usually reminiscent of the stuff at the bottom of the freezer, so a little dry. Atmosphere: Roadside chip-truck. Picnic tables to eat outside, if the weather is good. Alongside Eels' Creek in North Kawartha, village of Apsley across the creek. Staff: Friendly, in a city-folk way. Food: Chip-truck fare a la carte. Salad, burgers, hot-dogs, chicken-on-a-bun, fries, poutine, canned soft-drinks. Be prepared to wait, check out the tourist curio shop. Fries are inconsistent; either overcooked or kept under a heat lamp too long. Prices: Very high for this area, don't forget to add 13%HST to whatever you order. Bacon burger, fries, and soft-drink $21.00 after taxes. Tip: Plastic cup for your spare change, at these prices thy want your change? Facilities: Portable chemical toilet with hand sanitizer, mmm good! Suppose you could wash-up in Eels' Creek.
