Great diner for brunching. We came in on a weekend. Diner is nice and spacious and service was quick and friendly. Menu had a good number of options to choose from. Ordered the Dunlop Street Diner Breakfast and it was great, a little bit of everything in a full breakfast spread. They even had homemade jam. I chose strawberry and it was great with the rye toast. I also ordered a fresh orange juice which was also delicious. I would come back again for the same meal but also want to try some other things on the menu. read more

Love this cute diner. Stopped by on the way to Blue for a quick breakfast. I loved the unique eggs benedict options, there are many combinations you wouldn't find in Toronto. We ordered the pork belly and halloumi options and it was incredibly filling. The sour dough bread was great. Didn't expect to receive so many potatoes, couldn't finish those . Everyone is very friendly and service is very fast. Lots of nice paintings around the diner for sale too. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Dunlop Street Diner - Signature 22 - grilled bacon and cheese sandwich, topped with eggs benedict. Breakfast poutine on the side. - Diners Near Me - Barrie, Ontario

In our many years of travel, we've hit quite a few diners, drive-throughs and dives. As far as dîners are concerned, this one definitely falls in the upper class category. Our "person" was Becky and she was amazing, kind and patient. I always ask the staff for their opinion on the top dishes and Becky went through all the key faves for us to choose from. My partner had the chicken sando with asiago and bacon, while I had the house burger with cheddar and bacon. They use brioche buns so right off the bat, this puts them in the upper category. Brioche buns are buttery and smooth compared to all others, which will either cut your upper palate or taste like dry sawdust. The fries and home fries were perfect - neither over or under cooked and made fresh. You didn't have the taste of potatoes, coated in corn starch to rob you of your potato craving. Portions are more than sufficient, so much that we took the potato's home for a later snack. The place is immaculate and airy. It is more pub-like with it's craft beers than dive-like diner. You HAVE to try the house hot sauce. It is locally made and has just enough zing for you to want more. Like a Frank's only better. "I put that $h!t on everything". read more

We actually went here two days in a row, and the first day was better than the second. I always order the traditional three eggs, home fries, toast and the meat. The eggs I ordered over easy, when it came I was pleased to see the whites cooked and the yellows jiggle. But when I broke into it, the egg white were also very runny, which I should have said over medium. I asked for crispy bacon and that's what I got, some toasted rye, a good marble rye, with some seeds in it, I enjoyed this, it was good bread. And then we had quite a bit of potatoes. Their homes fries were red skin potatoes that were smashed and fried, crispy on the outside and and soft on the inside. Very nice touch. I got coffee with my meal, where refills were endless, which is good cause the coffee was VERY dilute! My dining partner ordered the daily special, it came with caramelized onions, English muffin, hollandaise sauce, poached eggs, and we upgraded to the taters, but I can't remember what the meat was... the daily special was enjoyed, but the hollandaise sauce sauce had no flavour... it was extremely bland. Our waitress DoM was excellent! She was funny and extremely good at what she does. She got our order right for everything we asked, things came on time, coffee was constantly refilled, our bill came in a timely manner, we were quite pleased with our meal Saturday! Sunday was a little different. I ordered the usual breakfast with poached eggs this time, and it came out beautiful, fully cooked egg whites, soft yellows, just perfect! My home fries however were half the portion they were on Saturday morning, which was disappointing... but still the same great taste! Rye was the same and delicious, and my bacon crispy. My partner ordered the O-M-Brie, and enjoyed it very much!. Sunday was a busy day... I asked three times for jam before it came, or coffee cups were not refilled often.. but it's a huge restaurant with at least 12 patio table and two large sections on the inside. And Sunday brunch is a busy time. The waitress felt bad, but it looked like they needed a little more staff for the rush. We enjoyed our food both days this weekend and would highly recommend you check this place out for your self. Great spot in the middle of the city, seconds away from the water if you wanted to wonder around Barrie it's on the Main Street loaded with other shopping spots read more

We dropped in here when we went on a mini day-date with the baby at grandma's. For our own reasons, we hadn't been to a patio at all during the lockdown and hadn't brunched in just as long. Without a baby, we knew we had to take advantage of the situation... So, we turned to our trusty Yelp friends and sure enough, we were NOT disappointed. We squeaked in before a real queue started up and ALL of their eggs Benedicts looked delicious. I decided to go with the What the Cluck (fried chicken) and my husband got the Holy Cow (Angus beef) and we were in brunch heaven. First off (getting it out of the way), the home fries were SOLID. Perfectly crispy - if I had to guess, fried at least twice, maybe even thrice. The eggs (we asked for soft) were perfectly cooked and the vast difference in flavours between our dishes was wonderful. My eggs Benny had a hint of curry and on the side was a delightfully delicious chicken skin. The Holy Cow had my fav sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions and there was heavy hand of mustard, not my fav but I'm sure good for those who like mustard. We can't wait to go back for another Benny, we'll just need another good reason for the trek. Also, it looked like they had shut down the street for a street fest - we would have liked to stroll around but we needed to get back to the city read more

I can't explain how much I look forward to visiting the Dunlop Street Diner. It's always so good which is why it's my favourite breakfast spot in Barrie. The only difficult choice is what to order because their entire menu is so amazing! They have a fantastic variety of both traditional and unique breakfast items with something for everyone, including an impressive selection of Benedicts. They also have generous portion sizes. It's always quite busy (the sign of a great spot) but they recently expanded which should alleviate some of the wait times on weekends. If you go early or on weekday, you can usually get a table right away. They also have a great patio area in the summer. read more

I just love eating at diners, especially this one after my first visit. No fancy and expensive meals, just good breakfast with an expansive selection or sandwiches and burgers just like the good old days. I was tempted for the breakfast selection but opted for a chicken club sandwich and fries. It was a very good club, the chicken was real not some processed version. Nice crisp bacon, lettuce and tomatoes along with a pickle and coleslaw. The service was excellent, and the coffee refills were a plenty. No need to ask, the waitress simply came by frequently and asked if I wanted a refill. Unfortunately, not too many diners provide this type of superb service anymore. Kudos to the Dunlop diner, I shall return. read more

Food was very good and portions were quite generous. My girlfriend and I were passing by Barrie on the way to Wasaga Beach and decided to stop by this restaurant for a quick brunch. Upon entering the establishment we were greeted warmly by the hostess and promptly brought to our table. Although we visited during the pandemic, we felt very safe as we witnessed all tables being cleaned and sanitized after each guest leaves, and all staff members were properly wearing face masks. Shortly after being seated, our waitress came and took our drink orders , which came out quickly. As she gave is out drinks, we ordered our mains. I had the reuben sandwich, and my girlfriend ordered the no bull hash. The reuben sandwich was great. Very flavourful and had a generous amount of meat. It was served on a nicely toasted rye bread, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese. It also came with a coleslaw, a pickle wedge, and your choice of side (home fries, french fries, salad, or baked beans) for which I had chosen the french fries. Typically I am picky with my fries as I enjoy them cut thin, which this establishment does. If you are a fan of thick cut fries, these may not be the best for you but it hit the spot for me. The No bull hash came on a bed of home fries, topped with roast beef, arugula, beets, poached eggs, mushrooms, cheddar, and caramelized onion, topped with a hollandaise sauce. The portion size of this was quite generous, as my girlfriend was filled and had enough left for another meal. Taste was also amazing, though the roast beef was a tad bit on the tough side. Overall, it was a great dining experience with great food and a welcoming and kind crew. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and look forward to visiting it again when I am in the area. read more

Popped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon for brunch and the breakfast options were impressive. The atmosphere has a diner feel. I'd go so far as to say there's something for everyone - they offer gluten free and vegan options too! Everything was tasty - the one interesting note was the baked beans were more like chilli beans than traditional baked beans (usually sweeter). My boyfriend still ate them up without an issue! Oh! They also carry Terry's unique hot sauce, a local hot sauce that's one of the best I've tried. Overall, good service and good food. Worth stopping by for a bite if you're in the area. read more

Food was delicious as always but the atmosphere and service is lacking. Our waitress messed up our simple breakfast order. NOISY!!!!! The patrons, many were just loitering during the busy period, in fact the 50 minutes we waited, I never saw some of them even take a sip of coffee/tea let alone order food. Rather than deal with the loud patrons, the staff simply increased the volume of the music which only made it worse. No action when the staff were asked repeatedly to turn down the volume. Obviously we do not matter, so it will be awhile before we return. read more

If you're looking for some solid brunch in Barrie, look no further than Dunlop Street diner! We came here with a fairly large group on an early Sunday afternoon and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, but tables were available pretty much right away for smaller groups. Once we were seated, the service was quick and welcoming, and we quickly got our coffees and juice on, and our entrees came shortly after we ordered. As for their food, there's a great selection of classic brunch items, from savoury egg Benedicts, sandwiches and skillets to sweet pancakes and waffles. I got the Spicy Hash skillet, which was delicious, flavourful, and generously portioned. My other friends got the DSD (Dunlop Street Diner) sandwich, the Veggie Hash skillet, the egg breakfasts, and the pancakes, which were all also great! Their homefries were also universally acclaimed by our table. All in all, with great, generous portions of all day breakfast, solid sandwiches, and free coffee refills, you can't go wrong with a stop at DSD! read more

On a snowy Saturday we found ourselves famished and looking for something or somewhere for breakfast on Barrie's waterfront. We thought we would be out of luck when we came across this spot on YELP. We entered out of the snow into a charming dinner. A great deal of care went into the renovations on this building. Our waitress, Heather, filled us in on all the home made menu items and we ordered. Home made baked beans, excellent, try the pork belly bacon, and I would come back just to sample more of the ample selection of Benedict's. Service is great. Food is great. Value is great! I would come here on a snowy Saturday morning in late March or a sunny Sunday in July. read more

came by here because the menu online looked very interesting and it lived up to those standards!! the spicy has was good, fairly mild, had lots of rich hollandaise sauce which was balanced by the charred cherry tomatoes and caramelized onions. the peach cobbler french toast was so good, it wasn't too sweet and the flavours were soaked up by the brioche bread. the peameal benedict was decent, fairly average in barrie but they have lots of other interesting ones that should be given a try if you're going to dunlop street diner. overall, great experience, very clean restaurant and amazing service! read more
