Upon driving up to The Granite, you can see it's located right on the river with a deck facing it, and it looks to be an older converted house. We were all digging the 70's/ 80's era rock tunes throughout our meal and helped give the experience a nostalgic ambience. I ordered a unique mocktail with a hosemade raspberry and basil syrup- it was so good and different than anything I'd tasted before. For my entree, I had the Ginger Sesame Pasta. WOW! This was such a delicious dish! Everything about it was delicious. The peppers and onions were grilled to perfection, and the chicken was tender and juicy having just been fried on a golden batter. All this layered onto some Cantonese Style Noodles- it was the dish I didn't know I needed! Our meal at The Granite was hearty and delicious! It kept us going for the long drive back to Toronto. Next time I'm in Bancroft, I'll definitely be back to have this dish and drink again. They were so good!

Great food, great service, good atmosphere. Good burgers, and an absolutely amazing (but rather…read moresloppy) beef sandwich, served au jus. Sides too were exceptional, both salads and fries. Only the coffee was merely okay - but they were most generous with the refills. Highly recommended.

The food is good, the beer is cold and affordable, and it's an experience you wont get in any city. On the menu they have deep fried cheese curds, and also cheesy fries with gravy, but no poutine listed. I often wondered why not make a poutine with the deep fried cheese curds, but it felt rude to ask. One of my colleagues ordered a corona, and it was served without a lime. My coworker inquired as to the lack of lime and Calvyn reponded, "Sorry man, I've got limes, I can put a lime in there, if it will make a difference for you. Do you think a tiny wedge of lime in the neck of your beer bottle makes a difference?" They have swords on the wall... they have swords, and daggers and other medieval stuff on the walls. Calvyn is a good guy, and his bar/restaurant is awesome. If you are passing through, or staying in the area you should check it out. Also they have a dock, so you can go there on your boat.

Was looking forward to having a big piece of Halibut but was informed that the pieces were small and very expensive. As such I tried the Haddock but was quite disappointed in the portion size, mostly all batter. Also tried the clam strips which were dismal, pre made out of a bag and such a small portion. Fries were ok, nothing special and the coleslaw wasn't too my taste as well, very finely grated and such a small portion. So not a very good value, $17.00 for the Haddock and $12.00 for the clam strips. Probably the best option locally, but doesn't compare to many other fish and chip places around.

Local diner near Algonquin park, seems to be a local favourite!…read more I stopped by for dinner after my hike at Algonquin park. While I was eating here I noticed that there were a lot of people who came in, some came for dine in service and some came for takeout. The staff at the diner knew at least 90% of the people coming in by name. One of the regulars even brought his friend to checkout the place. So it seems like this diner is quite frequented by the locals in the area. When we walked in, we were quickly greeted by James, he was very friendly and full of energy. He was quick to take our order and check on us when we needed something, service was wonderful. We ordered the Porterville Pizza and wings with fries, added a side of gravy and finished off with a butter tart for dessert. The pizza was nice and crispy and topped with lots of fresh toppings, probably one of the best pizzas I ever had! The wings and fries with gravy was delicious as well. The warm butter tart for dessert was a great finishing touch to the meal. Chef Jamie did a great job with everything that came out of that kitchen, no wonder this place is so popular amongst the locals. The ambiance of the diner is exactly as pictured, small local diner vibes, very warm and welcoming. I can't wait to try the other dishes on their menu next time I'm in the area!

Price of pizza was reasonable, but to our absolute surprise the cost of the salad was $50. Yes, $50. Hard to believe. It was delicious, but they should really warn people of that cost when ordering. We never thought to ask, as we never in our wildest dreams thought it would cost that much. We called the next day to inquire why our bill was so high- we were sure there must have been an error. But no, it was correct.
