We have gone here many times so the order above is just an example of one of the many dishes we've had. OK, so this isn't exactly a high end restaurant. I don't expect exceptional service. The wait staff are mostly young people in their late teens to early 20's and yes, some seem utterly bored and full of contempt towards their job, but they do a decent job. I don't remember ever being actually upset at anything a server has done. As long as I get my food, and it's what I ordered, and I am attended to in a friendly manner, I am happy. And that's how it's been when we go there. Regardless of service, the food is something I crave. The menu is varied and they have specials which change often. Some items are better than others. My favourite is the garlicky steak tips with garlicky veggies and garlicky mashed potatoes (can you tell I love garlic?). I have always found the food very tasty, though sometimes (depending on what you order) it is greasy and unhealthy. But that's your choice to pig out or stick to your diet. They had delicious onion wedges in horseradish sauce which I loved enough to look up the recipe online. Unfortunately they have replaced these with onion rings and some other kind of dip. But if filling and delicious food is what you crave in a family friendly atmosphere (though it is often crowded and you have to wait a while, depending what time you go), then this is the place for you!
Sizzling fajitas? NOT! It was like they had boiled the veggies, the chicken had no taste and the rice on the side was drier than a tea biscuit! No kidding!
The Trio is NOT worth the money you pay for it. I would not recommend going to this restaurant nor will I EVER be back again. Totally disappointed...all I have to say is that thank goodness I had won a gift certificate to TRY it out, cause if I had to pay...I would have been pretty upset.

I've tried coming here a few times and I always leave disappointed. This visit was definately my last. The service is always terrible, no one comes to check on you and drinks are always left empty. The food is tasteless and small portions compared to other chain restaurants. I find the wait is always long and staff are generally rude. The server we had this time only talked to us when she was trying up-sell and was loud and tacky. I will stop hoping for good service at this restaurant.
Ribs were good
Oriental salad was good
Steak was small, potatoe and veg portion was pathetic
Chicken parmigiana was the worst I've ever had....sharp tomato sauce...really cheap on the cheese
lousy food...overpriced
service was minimal
Won't bother going again...too many other good restaurants in Barrie to choose from.
