Oh. My. Goodness. I am RAVING about this place. I went on a mother daughter date with my mum…read more We got the French Onion Soup, and the Classic Fondue. It was the perfect amount of food and it was incredible. I would also recommend the Speak Mimosa I would recommend making a reservation after 7pm, just to be safe. The waitress was friendly, checked in, but didn't linger. I've been to the Melting Pot before - and it does NOT compare. It was priced as expected - it's not a fast food restaurant and it's worth every dollar. (Two soups, the classic fondue, two drinks and tips was just shy of $100). I've attached a poorly taken photo - we were too excited to eat it to get a picture in time.

Its obvious that everyone working in this store really cares about the business and their customers - it's always clean and they handle busy times very politely. I only wish I lived closer!

When in Canada do as the Canadians do and eat poutine! We taste tested two places - La Banquise in…read moreQuebec City and this place. We definitely give Jerry's the edge. It surpasses LB on gravy and proportion of curds to the rest of the dish. At Jerry's the hot mess was right out of the fry-o-lator. At LB, it seemed like it sat under the lights a bit. We were headed to Smokes because I could not find an address for Jerry's. I had been searching for "chip wagon." But as we were turning around to park for Smokes, there was the Jerry's yellow and green wagon! We were lucky. The portions are huge and the price is right. I could not finish a small. I truly think we have been appropriately initiated to the wonder that is good poutine.

Let me tell you one thing. The "poutine" I had today at "Jerry's Fries" was not the poutine I know…read moreand love. It was not Canada's greatest export. It was not made with thick cut fries cooked to perfection with copious amounts of real cheese curds and flavourful beef gravy. The poutine I had today, I wouldn't even feed to my dog. Me and the fellas used to head down to Jerry's all the time. Generous amounts of poutine for fair prices ($4.00 for a baby size, which was huge). The poutine that came out of that truck truly was one of a kind. But those days are long gone my friend. Today I paid $8.50 for basically a Dixie cup full of day old fries covered in gravy and a few cheese curds. I paid double what I used to for half the amount of fries and it wasn't even 1/10th as good as the old Jerry's I wish I didn't go into anaphylactic shock the second I was handed this poor excuse for a poutine so I could have taken a picture to put on the cover of How To Ruin a Business 101. Jerry, wherever you are please come back and make this right. You're our only hope.

Hindquarter Meats in Barrie is a real gem for anyone who appreciates quality, locally-sourced meats…read moreand artisanal products! I recently attended their sausage-making class, and it was such a fun and informative experience. The class walked us through every step of the process, from choosing spices to stuffing the sausages, all under the guidance of their friendly, knowledgeable staff. It was hands-on, engaging, and I left with some amazing, custom-made sausages to enjoy at home. Aside from the classes, Hindquarter has an impressive selection of local products. Their meat counter is filled with cuts of meat you know are sourced with care, plus a great variety of unique items you won't find anywhere else. They also carry a selection of local cheeses, sauces, and other gourmet goods, making it a perfect stop for building a high-quality, locally-sourced meal. Hindquarter Meats goes beyond being a butcher shop--they're a true community spot for food lovers. Whether you're looking to take a class, pick up fresh meat, or just chat with staff who are passionate about what they do, this place is a must-visit in Barrie. Highly recommend checking it out!

I have been looking for a place in Barrie to have a quick meal. I am limited by some food issues,…read moreand sometimes time is at a premium. "Goodness Me" is a health food store with extras available, including fresh baked goods, and a service counter and salad bar. They provide several fresh dishes on a salad bar, and a counter where they have about 10-12 hot dishes that you can choose from. The food is fast, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The pricing is good. My experience has been that it is best to go earlier in the day when the food is fresh. Like any other buffet type "restaurant" the food tends to get pretty thick if it has been sitting around for a while. There are lots of good options for people looking for gluten free options, but the potential for cross contamination is there if you are very sensitive.l to gluten. They also had 3 fresh soups available and regularly have chilli. The pricing is much better to offerings such as Nature's emporium. I found the price to be at least 25% less. They also have a pretty hefty discount at the end of the day on food if you are so inclined. I did it once, the price was fantastic, but the butter fish was like glue. ;) Overall, a good place to have a healthy and quick easy bite.
