Passed by and decided to try this place out. I'm a big sucker for a good pun, and with this place I had to try the halibut. Took the order to go and we sat by the water to eat lunch! Overall good meal. Fish was moist and crispy.

Shrimp bake looks pretty deep, but...

We were staying nearby at Fenelon Falls and decided to stop by the town of Bobcaygeon for lunch before our long road trip. If you're looking for the same decor as a Texas roadhouse, you've found the right place. The interior is decorated with guns, bull horns, you name it... The interior is surprisingly deep. We had a hard time getting seated because the waitresses were serving customers in the back. We wanted a small lunch, so we ordered the 1-piece haddock and chips ($9.50) and the shrimp bake ($8.50). We were disappointed with the size of the shrimp bake. It looked deep, but was instead cooked on top of a tall escargot dish. What you're getting is 6 shrimps covered in cheese. The haddock and chips were pretty good. The batter was light and crispy. The fish inside was flaky, mostly juicy, with some areas that were dry. We actually had better (and cheaper) fish and chips in Fenelon Falls the previous day. Service was attentive.

Trapping bees off table.

Love this place. Been coming for 20 years and so happy it's open during all of this COVID stuff. Eating on the patio is great but PLEASE do something about the bees and flies. We have eaten 4 or 5 times on the patio and again I love it and if I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would do it but maybe get rid of all the flower boxes surrounding the patio or spray for bees and flies but when we have 6 or more bees circuiting all our drinks and 10-20 flies on our table it's just not right.

Just for the Halibut as seen on @yougottaeathere . Bobcaygeon Gem! Of course I had to order the Halibut which was fried to perfection The one piece served with chips & coleslaw was more than enough food for me ($13.99 market price.) We also had the crab cakes which I personally didn't enjoy but my SIL orders them every time. My only wish is that they made their own tartar sauce, but after 40 years I'm sure they won't be switching it up anytime soon. The family run restaurant staff were super friendly, they went above and beyond to ensure everyone was happy (including serving us small plate of fries straight away for the unhappy little one at our table.) Highly recommend!

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Had the Haddock filet and the batter was super light and very tasty. Also had the Key Lime pie for dessert, amazing! Also the service was great. Can't believe we've had our cottage up here for a few years and never been here. We will be back.

My husband and I stopped by for dinner last night. It was extremely busy but we were sat right away! The service was amazing and the food was to die for!! The waitress was very friendly, our dood came pretty quick and she made sure we were happy on numerous occasions. We had the coconut shrimp to start. They were delicious! We both had the halibut and chips, the portios were perfect, the breading was perfect (not too thick or soggy at all!) And the gravy was perfect! We loved it here and will definitely be back!! Thanks again!!

Wow! Just had an amazing dinner here on route to a friends cottage. Our server Cindy was awesome. Hubby had halibut and fries. I had small greek salad with salmon... Loads of feta, delish homemade dressing and beautiful poached salmon. Will be back!

Great halibut at reasonable price. Not a fan of fake ketchup brand and tartar sauce in package seems a bit cheaper and doesn't taste great.

Good amount of chunky fries. - Sticky Toffee Pudding: The definition of indulgence, as the pudding is drowning in a lake of sauce. - Sunshine Express: Refreshing cocktail. Absolute standout service that's welcoming and helpful. Kitchen is a bit slow, though likely due to the amount of guests they get. Prices are on the higher end. Vibe is elevated casual.

Staff were really nice and they made a great recommendation with adding the carrots as a side. If i had to recommend a unique side it would be the carrots! It was so flavourful- we were all amazed by them. We had to order a steak and they really can cook these well. You can see where they fire them up on the grill. We ordered everything to share - Steak, pasta( i can't remember which one), carrots, fries, chop house potatoes, lamb chops and sticky toffee pudding. Everything we ordered and ate was absolutely delicious and I would definitely be back to enjoy another meal here! The vibe is cool in there, a good option if you're looking for a fancier dinner in the area.

The modern, chic decor sets a wonderful ambiance, and the service was immediate and welcoming. The food was spectacular from start to finish. We started with fresh, warm bread, followed by a flavorful seafood gumbo loaded with meat, and a generous portion of two lightly breaded crab cakes. For our mains, the 10oz ribeye and 8oz tenderloin were seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection--compliments to the chef! They came with a lovely side of baby potatoes and vegetables. We capped off a perfect meal with a warm pecan tart and ice cream. I highly recommend coming here. We noticed they have a pizza oven and plan to add pizza to the menu soon; we already can't wait for our next visit to try it out!

There are specials that change weekly. The interior is decorated with New Orleans memorabilia, medium lit, cozy (not large), with jazz music in the background. Service was attentive and friendly. They operated for 30 years at their old location. This location soft-opened on 2026-02-12. We came on 2026-02-25 for dinner. There were still some furnishings to complete (there were unforeseen delays). They kept the same menu offerings but it will be expanded within a month. We ordered the following: 1. Citra Terre D'Abruzzo Pinot Grigio - Italy (glass $14.95). 2. Coke. 3. Crab Cakes ($19.95). 4. New Orleans Shrimp Cocktail ($19.95). 5. Jambalaya Aranchini (weekly special). 6. Blackened Lamb Chops (weekly special). 7. New Orleans Fisherman's Plate ($39.95). 8. Pecan Pie warmed with Ice Cream ($14.95). 9. Bananas Foster ($14.95). 10. Beignet ($14.95). Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037

But when Toronto…read moreLife hosted a special TL Insider dinner ($225 per person, inclusive of taxes and gratuities), curiosity won out. The prices listed below reflect the regular menu, though portions at the event were likely smaller than standard service. The evening began with a beef skewer ($31), featuring cubes of barbecued beef glazed in teriyaki and topped with plenty of chives. Unfortunately, consistency was an issue. Other guests raved about how tender theirs were, while mine arrived overcooked. It wasn't inedible, but it certainly wasn't tender. One of the restaurant's newer additions is its aged fish program, so I was eager to try the dry-aged salmon ($33). Listed as a "crudo," I expected delicate slices in a citrusy sauce, but it arrived as another skewer. The texture was undeniably smooth, with the dry aging removing any chewiness, but the salmon also developed a gaminess that lingered unpleasantly. A marinade or thinner slicing might help balance things out. I'm glad their signature Caesar salad ($24) remains excellent. It's beautifully balanced with acidity, savouriness, and thoughtful touches like buttery breadcrumbs and bacon bits that aren't rock hard. It's still one of the better Caesars in the city, though tableside preparation now costs an additional $10. Fans of tartare will likely appreciate the beef tartare ($41), which is prepared traditionally with minimally dressed hand-cut beef. Personally, I wanted more contrast in texture or flavour, though tartare has never been my go-to dish. I did appreciate the accompaniments of buttery crostini and gem lettuce leaves, which offered a lighter way to enjoy it. And for fans like me, don't worry their cheese bread puffs still make an appearance (along with their take home chocolate muffins). What continues to shine at Jacobs is the steak itself. The 40-day dry aged striploin was cooked beautifully, developing a crust that locked in the juices while maintaining tenderness despite being a leaner cut. The seasoning is more restrained, which allowed the volcanic sea salt and chimichurri on the side to actually enhance the beef rather than overwhelm it. The pecorino broccolini ($22) had me almost finishing off the plate and is such a nice accompaniment with the rich beef. The only disappointment was the duck fat fries ($21), which arrived lukewarm and slightly stale, likely a casualty of serving a packed dining room. Dessert ended the evening on a high note. The crème brulee ($21) was fantastic with visible vanilla bean specks throughout the silky custard. The sugar topping was thin and delicate, avoiding that overly sweet crunch some versions suffer from. Served alongside a sizeable chocolate biscotti and a fragrant orange shortbread cookie, it's easily large enough to share. With the expanded dining room, the front-of-house team has clearly grown as well. The staff is younger and fresher-faced, so any old-school steakhouse stuffiness has largely disappeared. More importantly, the service remains polished and attentive, and we were well taken care of throughout the evening.
