Out in the middle of nowhere (since the 404…read moreextended to the 'wick, Woodbine Ave is now nowhere) you can find Jacx next door to Brice's Furniture. I stopped in with a couple of associates in the early afternoon on a Saturday for a late lunch. The place was fairly empty, and the staff was busy putting together the Christmas decorations. This might be why service was rather slow at an otherwise quiet time. Fortunately I was not in a rush. The menu is filled with a seriously diverse selection. Linguini with Seafood? On it. Liver and Onions? On it. Curry of the Day?? ..On it... The decision was tough. Normally I would have had the Seafood Linguini since that is a pretty strenuous test of a restaurant,but I was not wanting the carbs. I settled on the Meat Loaf, served with Mushroom Gravy, potatoes and veggies. The plate arrived with a load of meatloaf, two thick hunks, slathered in gravy. I had the roasted potatoes with it. The meatloaf was thick, moist, tender, and loaded with flavour. Overall, a great feed, and worth the wait. For desert, I tried the Caramel Chocolate Cake, which is a La Rocca product. Who doesn't like La Rocca cakes?

She liked the omelette but the eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked poached eggs and everything tasted great. Unfortunately the service made us feel uncomfortable. The server, who was blonde with glasses (did not get her name) seemed not happy to be serving us. To be fair, it was incredibly busy and she was on her own. But she wasn't the nicest before it got busy either. It's too bad because the food really was top notch. I want to order the French onion soup next time. And all of the benedicts. Yes, all. I will line them up and just go at it.

The ambiance is very relaxed and comfortable, making it a perfect place for a quiet breakfast or a hearty lunch with the family. The food was the highlight for me. Everything tasted fresh and had that authentic, home-cooked quality that you just don't find everywhere. The portions were generous, and the menu has a great variety to choose from. To top it all off, the service was excellent; our server was incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're driving along Highway 48 and looking for a reliable, delicious spot with a great vibe, I highly recommend stopping here. It's definitely a local gem that I'll be visiting again!

You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into the preparation. To top it off, the service was top-notch; the staff was attentive, friendly, and really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. If you're on Black River Road and looking for a restaurant that delivers on both taste and vibe, I highly recommend checking this spot out. I'll definitely be back soon!

The menu items are delicious with new items replacing older ones every once in a while. The Caesar salad is a REAL Caesar salad . Once you have one, you won't be able to eat one from another restaurant again. You can tell the dressing is homemade with original ingredients such as lemon juice, egg whites, garlic, anchovy paste, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce. The bacon they cook and doesn't come from a bag. I realize I have spent a lot of time describing a salad but when you eat one you will understand. Their risotto is also authentic and they revolve flavours. However , my favourite is the Mama Burger with spicy, peach preserves and Brie. Also treat yourself to one of their martinis Just found out the restaurant and their recipes and techniques were sold to a new owner. I hope the quality is kept up

**A True Hidden Gem in Orillia **…read more As we were passing through Orillia, we decided to stop into **Theo's Restaurant** for a bite to eat--and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and brought to our table with such genuine hospitality. The space is spotless, intimate, and beautifully styled, creating the perfect atmosphere for a cozy meal. The menu is filled with wonderful Greek and Italian options, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The bruschetta was outstanding, and the veal parm was perfection. The food alone is worth the visit, but the service truly elevated the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, giving us that small-town connection where we didn't feel like "just customers." We also noticed the same level of care at the tables around us--clearly, this is how they treat everyone who walks in. Theo's is definitely a place I'd stop at again on my next trip back. And for anyone who lives in Orillia, it's a wonderful spot for a family celebration, a special date night, a relaxed dinner out, or even a business meeting. **Five stars all the way. The Theo family has done an incredible job.** Anja Lavigne ( Toronto/Kwarthas )

The only thing that was established that night was the fact that my family and I were never coming back. The first thing that threw me off about this restaurant was the slow service. It was almost as if we were completely invisible. It took us 20 minutes to be seen and seated, then another fifteen or so just to get our drink ordered. Our drinks came quickly, but that was probably due to the lack of customers. I ordered the steak. It came with potatoes and something else that tasted like a sweaty anus. The steak was so chewy i has almost broken my tooth. After a good jaw workout just trying to chew and swallow the first bite, my husband was making disgusting faces towards his potatoes. He had found not one, not two, but three long, brown hairs in his mashed potatoes. It was absolutely disgusting.
