Great hot deli counter, however if you plan on buying mac&cheese or scalloped potatoes, make sure you ask for a clean spoon, they use the same spoon all day long You can see the fryers and the fryer timers from the counter, if tenders are cooked at 350° for 10-11 minutes, they will look a lil toasty and may get dry within a couple hours. However if cooked at 325° for 9 minutes, they turn out nice golden colour with tender juicyness in each bite If you plan on buying wings, ask if they have their sauces out, ask they keep tehm refrigerated all day long and dont bring them out for serving, your fresh hot wings + cold sauce =room temp wings if not cold I made this same comment on google reviews. read more

I have shopped here for years. I buy only Organic fruits and vegetables and it was great to be able to go to the organic section and pick up produce and then buy the rest at the market or Goodness Me in Barrie. The organic is mixed with all the vegetables and fruits. I don't have time to Check all the foods to see which are organic . I now skip Zehrs unless an emergency and fo straight to Barrie. I Live 5 mins from Zehrs . read more

I was just there with my Mom doing groceries and refilling our water jugs, we decided to use self checkout, i dont normally but was packed so we did. The Lady servicing the self checkout named Roberta was unbelievably rude and ignorant with us. We have been there a thousand times to refill our water, typically they grab the empty jugs and scan them and ill grab the new ones to save them the trouble. So we went about this asked for a hand and instantly Roberta the cashierservicer replied" k give me a second ill grab the code" so we proceed to try and save her a minute and let her know she can scan them, comes back nearly shouting at my mom telling her she needs to get a code and cant do it like that. She came back her code didnt work soo she scanned them. then we continue to scan our things in. I started to scan our products and i guess i missed one item and she looked over at the screen then backed off, literally waited for us to have an error on the screen to let us know we didnt scan it. What if we didnt get the error what was she going to do, obviously a mistake not like im trying to steal so why didnt she mention right away when she noticed. JUST BEYOND ME. Ive worked in customer service over 10 years, my parents have owned companies and ive helped service them, never would I talk to a customer the way we were talked to. her tone went sweet to "you know nothing" which isnt very pleasant when shopping. Hopefully she cheers up and we caught Roberta at a bad time but for the moment it was atrocious. read more

The only thing keeping me from giving Zehr's a fifth star is that the new Joe Fresh department has cut into their grocery departments a bit. This is our go-to grocery store in Orillia. Yes, they have a clothing department and a cell phone kiosk and a wine rack and an optometrist but I keep going back for all my grocery needs. From the bakery to the in-store butcher shop to the produce department they always have fair prices for a good selection of quality products. For all your day-to-day needs they have all the brands you are looking for at prices that you don't need to shop around to beat. The check-outs are the gem of this store. I have never had to line up more than 4 deep for a regular or express cashier but I usually use one of their 6 self-scan checkouts. read more
