    I live close to port and this is our go to place for casual food. Priced reasonably, portions more…read morethan generous, service good and friendly. Last time I was there $17 for 3 large bangers, mashed potatoes and an assortment of steamed fresh vegetables. Plus gravy. Come on. Excellent. They redid the outdoor patio last year and even though it's in a parking lot they did a nice job. Downside this location has been home to at least 2, maybe 3 failed restaurants before. John's came in and did a dust and clean repairs and paint. But you can't get away from the old restaurants. Oddly there is a second room that is large that used to have couple poor tables and a bunch of tables that only gets used for parties and occasional overflow for the main area. Washrooms for men is tiny and needs a makeover, so is the main area. Really dated decor. It's tough. Do you renovate and raise the prices to cover the costs or do try to keep costs down and keep the prices down? For this location it's starting to feel really worn. However the food is still great and we have even used it to cater a small party of 16 last year. I only took one star away because of the lack of any ambiance and the need of updates.

    Truly a hidden gem in Port Perry. And I mean that both literally and figuratively. Castle John's is…read moretucked away in the back of a very small strip mall, you would never know it was there. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement to say the least. We walk in to find a very relaxed, comfortable environment, nothing fancy. Some booths, a nice bar, classic rock music playing, lots of TVs for sports and a friendly greeting upon our arrival. Great selection of beers and a big menu. We tried the burger (they put it together exactly the way I asked), the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich and an order of Buffalo Hot Wings. All were excellent and perfectly presented. The wings especially were great! Wings were huge, perfectly cooked, crispy, Buffalo hot sauce was spot on. At first glance, the pub looks small, but if you go towards the back of the restaurant, you'll see an open door to another section that has pool tables, more seating, a big screen TV and a cozy fireplace. So if you haven't tried Castle John's yet, it's time to check it out. Highly recommended!

    On a recent road trip through Port Perry with my cousins, we stopped for lunch at The Lakeview Pub…read more Their patio, with umbrellas and a tent, looked inviting, especially with grey skies overhead. My cousins ordered the Mac n' Cheese Poutine, Beefed Up Poutine, and Blue Cheese Burger, while I had the Jambalaya (without shrimps). The poutines looked good, especially the beef one, topped with crispy onion straws. The fries were also crispy and there was a good amount of beef and gravy. The other one had lots of mac n' cheese smothering tater tots. Both were good! The burger looked great, with its 8oz patty smothered with blue cheese and caramelized onions. It was also served with crispy fries. It looked good enough for me to second guess my choice. I had the jambalaya with chicken and Italian sausage, minus the shrimps, due to a shellfish allergy. It was pretty good, although not authentic. I would have preferred the more traditional andouille sausage. Overall, the food was very good and the portions were generous. I barely finished my jambalaya and my cousins all took home leftovers. With good food, nice ambiance, and great service, I recommend this place!

    went for lunch on Father's Day. Sat at a picnic table for 2 hours. when we asked about our order…read morethey said it had been given to another table. we had 2 choices 1 we could put order in again and wait (probably 45 min they said) or leave. we left. Needles to say we will never come back. They could have at least said they would rush our reorder,

    I have been back a couple of times since my first visit in November and the food and service has…read morebeen fantastic. of course i had the starter size for the fish and chips, which were very tasty and my stomach was very happy . i had the caesar salad to start as it finally warmed up in Barrie, There was a lot of bacon in the salad which was much appreciated . I also tried the sticky toffee pudding and it was ok at best. The service was tremendous as usual and its a friendly price point. It was the busiest i had seen it in my previous visits so there was some ambiance. Now that is summertime i will going there more frequently and looking forward it. Im going to get a full order of fish and chips next time and I want to try their roast beef dinner on Sundays

    Sadly I have to change my review. I've been going for trivia on Wednesdays since 2017, but it looks…read morelike last night was probably my last time. They've introduced pay-to-win mechanics into their trivia, in the form of awarding points for Wednesday's trivia to people who order entrees on Sunday-Tuesday. Needless to say, this undermines the spirit of trivia and of competition for the sake of a few extra bucks. I contacted the pub itself but they ignored me. I contacted the company that hosts the trivia, PubStumpers, but they seemed more concerned with persuading me that the pay-to-win mechanic was acceptable, rather than listening to my objection. The trivia IS fun, but now it is only fun if you don't mind that a game of skill and chance is now about skill, chance, and how much extra money you are willing to pay. Very disappointing for trivia enthusiasts.
