    Best smoke meat up in Muskoka. Wow!!! The briskets was awesome at lunch. Thinking about when to return after the first bite.

    Best burger in Bala, bar none! Add a rice pudding to your order as well. Only open seasonally.

    Again, was not disappointed! Stopped by for lunch with a friend. Ordered the same chicken club on…read moreGF bread since it was so good last time. This time I also tried a salad on the side that was like a vinaigrette slaw made from mainly cauliflower - it was delicious and flavourful. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and said it was excellent! We were able to eat outside which was so nice. We both agreed, we'll be back next time we're in the neighbour.

    Cottage Cravings only recently came to Bala after a fire at their original Gravenhurst location…read more last year left them looking for a new space. But I'm so glad they landed in our tiny, sleepy town: CC is about as close as it gets to a one-stop shop here. There aren't a lot of places where you can grab a coffee and sandwich, pick up cheese and charcuterie to take home, or grab wall art or dish towels for the cottage. I appreciate that the products here are so thoughtfully selected as well. Cottage decor can teeter on kitschy, but the selection at CC -- technicolor enameled outdoor dining sets, lake-themed hooked rugs, craftsman birdhouses -- is tasteful as well as fun. Popsicle makers and painted martini glasses give ideas. Food from local vendors means you don't have to wait for next week's farmers market to pick up those jams or condiments. And a bounty of healthful dining options from veggie paninis to fresh soups make a quick, delicious lunch. CC definitely makes a great addition to our little hamlet.

I for one am real glad that they made it through and are now open once again for dine in Great rustic ambience and charm that truly complements the food and hospitality PS: I wish they decide to serve their corn bread in smaller portions

    Aug 28th. Ordered the sampler with ribs, pulled rock and brisket, fries and coleslaw sides and an…read moreorder of burnt ends. Ribs - salty and a little tough. Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.
