    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    We had a lovely dinner, served to us by Tara! The portions are huge so I'm glad I only had one portion of the haddock. Very yummy!

Shishito peppers had a nice bite, mushrooms were a tad salty. - Swinton Burger: It was ok, pretty standard burger. Patty had a nice pink tonight, though was a bit overcooked on the outside. 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!

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 seats were comfortable and the ambiance it was warm and inviting. Our server, Becky was attentive and friendly. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip which was clearly made on site. The flavours were so perfect and I could tell they used marinated artichokes. It made it a unique yet familiar experience. I had the Italian wedding soup and my friend had the Caesar salad to start . I like that all the meals come with standard steakhouse options, including starters. We both chose a mixed grill so that we could have a taste of everything. It came with vegetables, and then we had an option of either pasta with Alfredo sauce, fries, wild rice, or the potato of the day. I went with pasta with Alfredo sauce. It was so yummy. And I want to give a shout out to the half rack ribs that come with the mixed grill. Everything was tender and juicy. But the ribs were definitely the big star of that show. I also ordered a virgin Caesar. Which was absolutely perfect. I think one of the reasons that the food is so good is because it's really obvious that everybody there cares about the food and the customer. And they care about each other. The interactions between staff that I witnessed showed that they work together very well as a team, but also They like each other. I will definitely come back to the Pepper Mill.

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

At first, the location felt a bit odd and made me wonder what to expect, but once inside, the atmosphere was actually very nice and welcoming. The seafood was excellent, and the grilled bass was amazing -- that was my favorite dish of the night. The other dishes we tried were also very good, but the grilled fish really stood out for me. The owner also mentioned that they'll be moving soon to a larger location near the Etobicoke lake area, which sounds exciting. With a better location and more space, the atmosphere should be even better, and I think the restaurant will do really well. Definitely a place I'd recommend, and I'm looking forward to visiting again after they move.

    I keep flip flopping between 2 and 3 stars here.... thinking that it should be a 2.5. I'll bump…read morethem up to 3 because I am a nice guy. During our summer cottage season, the family decided to head into Minden for a finer dining experience (we had been barbecuing and roasting over fires for a week straight.) This place is in a beautiful location and offers some wonderful private patios overlooking the Gull river. This private patios are for two person tables only. They also offer a very nice back larger patio that is between a parking lot and the river, so face the river if you can. We ended up eating inside. While friendly, our waitress was either a little new, or did not have a good understanding of the menu. We were told they were out of grapes and onion rings. After scanning the menu to try and determine what impact this would have.... we couldn't locate anything that contained grapes. Again, we asked what they were out of and were told grapes. Was she saying crepes? Well, couldn't find those either. Oh well. I ordered the Grilled Lake Pickerel with Mushroom Lemon Cream Sauce on house blend rice with a local Muskoka beer. Now I feel a little bad here..... Although the wait staff was very friendly, and did make a good effort, I don't think they were up to par with the prices and the gourmet atmosphere that they are going for here. At 24 dollars for my entree.... I was looking to be wow'd. The beer was on tap, but also wasn't that cold. The fish was very good.... but again, think this should of been more of a 16-19 dollar entree and not 24. My father asked if they had any Grey Goose and the waitress looked at my father very strangely and said no. Did she think we were actually asking for a grey goose? Like, to eat? It was okay, and the waitress made a good effort. Everyone finished their meal and said it was "okay". The location is very beautiful and I would probably go back, simply because in a small town, your options are limited, but I had really been hoping to get a wow out of the place. I would recommend going to this restaurant as a couple and get a spot on one of those private patios.... that alone would be worth it. So gorgeous. Split a nice bottle of wine, and have some fairly decent food.
