Reviews of Simcoe Arms (Fish Shop)

Greg Jones

Had Lunch here the other day (Oct 22, 2014) Food was very good........excellent panzarotti Our server, Candice, was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely return when in the area.

Christopher

Do to a large lady group , our wait was longer than expected. But server was great . we had the soup and sandwich x3 which was awesome . I just wish the girl would slow down a bit when she tried to explain what the soup and sandwich consisted of, she spoke so fast we missed half of it. I give it 4.5 out of 5 well done

W Mackey

Menu was varied and every dish was delicious and piping hot...awesome meal

So far my family and I have never been disappointed with The Arms. My husband and my ten-year-old always get the fish and chips and it's amazing. I've tried most of the menu items and liked almost all of them. BUT, the reason that I'm writing this review is because of their current social distancing and the menu that comes with it. I felt very secure in my dining experience today, but the highlight was the flatbread. I requested a substitution which they couldn't accommodate, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I ended up ordering the flatbread as described, and I swear on my life that it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. Additionally, I just ate some cold out of the fridge like a gremlin and it was somehow equally good. Our waitress was wonderful, but I didn't get her name and I'm regretting it. Overall, eat here. You'll have a wonderful and safe time.

Ross Carson

Foods always good. Reasonable priced.

James McAlister (Kessbar)

Good food and friendly service. Laid back and casual atmosphere makes for nice dinner out.

Bill Inger

It's a good place to eat

Rob Lelievre

Food is fantastic. Good portions. Recommend liver, onions and bacon, burgers , jambalaya fettuccine and more. Friendly staff.

Rui Cabral

The food at the place is amazing. We had 6 different dishes and they were all delicious. Definitely coming back

Kim Schlaht

Friendly staff, good food. Nice beer. Nothing to complain about! There's a bar area and a dining area. No issues with the service - the server was prompt and friendly and efficient.

Rick Erdelac

Always good food.

Debbora Notforyoutohave

Ordered the burrito was supposed to be spicy but instead tasted like someone put sugar in it. And meat didn't seem like there was much of it more rice and not surecwhatvelse it was mush inside. Fiancee ordered grilled chicken ...potatoes tasted dry and off and chickennhas no season or anything if you don't stuff them. He has allergies to dairy and doesn't eat pork so options were only plain. Only good part was our potato skins.

triplea

bad food - cold and small portion for price. staff was rude

BRIAN Meier

Great waitstaff. Good food and drinks

Jean Waite

Decent food, good service.

Shannon Mykayla

I honestly cannot muster another star here. We had dinner last night with our two girls and I've never been more disappointed. Initially, the atmosphere is inviting, cozy and quaint. The menu offers a great array of dishes, handhelds and apps, but my goodness do not be deceived by appearances. Let's start with the fact that they do not have gluten free or gluten sensitive options, so if you have sensitives to gluten, you are going to be very limited. Perhaps they should try to accommodate this need. They do accommodate for small children with an assortment of crayon colors and an activity page which was appreciated. Now food: My husband is ok with gluten so he ordered a burger and fries, that were pretty good, but my 'Pad Thai' - and I use that loosely, was disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Yes I have been to Thailand and I know what real Pad Thai tastes like, but that does not influence my review of this atrocious dish. I have had Pad Thai at other restaurants, such as The Shier up the street, which is 100x better than the lukewarm slop I was served. I am not sure if the 'chef' at the Simcoe Arms knows what Pad Thai is, it seems as if they are absolutely clueless. Quite literally, I was given spicy peanut soup that did not taste like Pad Thai sauce at all, with short rice noodles and pieces of chicken breast (not bad) and overcooked rubbery shrimp. I only could stomach the chicken and shrimp. I had to leave the rest. It was less than palatable and awkward with chopsticks. So if you want to try this place, go ahead be my guest, but I do not recommend the Pad Thai $15 dish, and I suggest the chef please take a class on how to make Thai food properly or simply don't offer it. I doubt we will return there again unfortunately. I'm not saying this place should have been serving food for a Buddhist Monk, but there is a level of expectation when you choose to eat at a Sit-down restaurant that offers a particular dish, of which you trust will not only be palatable but an enjoyable experience.

Anna Hopkins

Had a wonderful time tonight! Tracey was so great, and the food was delicious. All the staff was so warm, and they are following excellent protocol during these times. Thanks for everything.

Mark Clark

Fantastic

Topaz Goold

Food was delicious. But unfortunately the service ruined the experience. Though the waitress was attentive, she seated 7 people at a corner booth w 2 extra chairs, then when 2 more arrived left us to drag our own chairs over. There were multiple empty tables that suited larger groups. We were not offered to move before our food arrived, we were left eating on top of each other - including mixing multiple households which was not our initial intention. There was also a $15 additional charge as we ordered one bruschetta and two orders came to the table wo confirmation from us. Then the final blow was the bill being served as one bill, for a mixed party of 9. The waitress didn't even blink just plopped it on the table. Then acted flabbergasted when the senior staff told her to split the bill for the table. It also means that we spent over 10min trying to sort out our own bill. While our leftovers are getting cold, and we were getting increasingly impatient

Neal Gayton

Good food. Friendly service.

Cheryl Riches

We went on a Saturday night it was fairly quiet. We ordered wings they came pretty quickly. Wings were good not the best I've ever had but they were good nonetheless. I would definitely return on game night for wings and beer

Kelly Bee

Nice place, wasn't too impressed with the food but ok for a pint.

Quinlan Vannatter

Food is great. Staff are great. Atmosphere is great.

David Weindl

I like to travel City to city and dry food at different places. Their ribs were absolutely delicious and the waitress that serve me was very friendly and helpful.

Mayai Barett

The patio was the main reason we came by but the food was the real star of the night.

Sarah Taylor

One of the best places to eat. Fantastic food!

Darren Wayne

Was good. Long wait for food though, friendly staff. Food was good and plentiful.

Robert Reid

Great food and great service. Been going here since I was a kid and it's only improved since. Good local beer selection. Highly recommend the jalapeno poppers if you're a fan of such things.

Vandana Srivastava

Nice food and service.

Paul Mitchell

A decent mix of different types of food.

Kayla Haskett

Love love love their food!!

Nunya Business

Ate here a few times now. Has been excellent everytime. One waitress doesn't write things down so surprisingly your order can come out wrong lol (little FYI) this has happened twice to us. Would still recommend this place tho.

trevor dubecki

Good food, nice people

Amanda Zintel

They have a great menu selection, with a variety of options for everyone. The deserts are absolutely divine. I have been on a few occasions, all were good experiences. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I also attended a retirement party there and they were more than happy to accommodate a reservation for 40 people and they were wonderful.

Daniel Kramer

At home feel, great staff and owner

Jeff MacDonald

Fish and chips are great!

Mike Hill

Awesome burgers and fast service

T Murphy

Pretty fast service and huge portions.

Todd Guthrie

Marilyn Ashbourne

Had a delicious burger and fries, from friendly staff.

Robert Botosh

Absolutely the best chicken wings! Great staff and quick service!!

Rachelle Van Ryssen

Awesome food and I love the staff!

Andrea Boyko

What I found unique was the way the menu was displayed which was on a stand that spun which makes for easy viewing and easy to wipe down the plexiglass. The dining room was still closed. The patio was opened and very nice ambiance. The restaurant attracted a varied clientele. I had buffalo chicken cheese dip with tortilla chips. It was very tasty and filling. The service was very friendly and quick. The server was very attentive and always there when needed. I would recommend eating here.

Shawn Speller

Great eats

Linda Allen

Atmosphere, Service, and definitely the Meals, were fantastic. Will recommend this place to everyone!

Dalton Shoup

Burger was a little bland. Everything else off the menu is good and the service is always great.

Bev Robertson

We were very impressed with the food and the service. We both had the Bangers and Mash. I had never had it before and it was so delicious. I would definitely recommend this pub to my friends and family.

Matthew Le Sage

Large seating area in restaurant and in bar area. Smokey topper burger with gouda cheese and bacon topped off with onion rings and bbq sauce... need I say more!!! Delish. Nice selection of beers, domestic and imports..

Cheryl Whittle

We were very disappointed in the Simcoe Arms. We are relatively new to the area and wanted to try it. I ordered Tuscan chicken, without olives. When it arrived however it not only was missing the olives, but also the Portabello mushrooms and they added goat cheese and spinach. After discussing with the waitress, they confirmed ingredients were wrong. New menu, kitchen staff not trained properly, etc. They apologized but only removed the chicken, leaving me with the sides, which of course were cold by the time I received a new plate of chicken. The waitress stopped back to explain she told the owner and he would talk to the kitchen staff. Plate #2 comes and is also wrong. Gone were the spinach and goat cheese (not in the menu), but the mushrooms were still missing. The waitress came by again and asked if I got the mushrooms and I said no. A couple minutes later the other waitress stops by and drops off a bowl with some regular mushrooms, not Portabello. No apology, no mention they aren't the right type, just dropped them on the table and left so I could add them to my plate I guess. Time for the bill, where they felt taking $5 off my $18 meal was sufficient compensation, despite the fact I never received the meal ordered as per the menu. And I got an apology again for their error, saying I was the guinea pig. Nice. I paid the bill, then told the waitress that while I understand mistakes happen, how they deal with it matters. They have lost two local customers without a doubt. She explained a $5 discount was her maximum authorized amount. I told her the owner knew about the issue and should have addressed it if he knew she couldn't comp the meal. Or she should have approached him, but I blame the owner really I didn't go in expecting a free meal, but don't think they should charge when they can't get it right. Very disappointing experience. My husband ordered meatloaf which was decent but lacking spices and rather bland.

James De Luca

The food is very good and the portions are large, on rare occasions the service can be a little challenged. But I do recommend Simcoe Arms if you want good food for a good price.

Nancy Bryans

I sat outside for lunch Nice patio. Attentive staff and my chicken tended and fries etc were good.

Franklin Madison

Great and attentive service. The best eggs Benedict in Canada (I had a seafood Benedict with smoke salmon and shrimp I am so going back here for breakfast...late breakfast

Michael Joseph Rapai

Sometimes it's quick. Sometimes it's not. Variety of choices - usually can't go wrong with any one of the items on the menu. Notes: panzerotti is massive. Egg rolls are awesome. Wings are never a let down. Hawaiian burger is probably the best. All burgers are way more than you need - good when hungry or take leftovers home. Turkey club is a solid safe bet.

Christine Bays

Top 10 worst dining experience of my life! We were greeted on the patio and said we needed a minute to look over the menu for drinks but would take waters (we had our two daughters with us). The server never came back! She just kept serving everyone around us and even clearing empty tables while ignoring us. We moved inside because we were starving and had been waiting 20 minutes. Service inside was OK. Food was mediocre at best. They still got our order wrong. We definitely won't be back! We left frustrated and hungry.

David Youngblut

Excellent Food & Service Like Usual Eh!

Daddy O

The meal was awful ..... Our waitress asked "How was it" I replied awful .. O that dish is my favourite and walked away only to reappear with the bill in full..... We will Never go back ...

Chris Menezes

Burger was burnt black. Bun was so stale I could tap on the back and it made a knocking noise.

Dewayne Johnson

Mushrooms are so good. The burgers are not your everyday fast food burgers ... These are top notch and massive!

Rob McCready

Food is great. If you want a quiet place to eat, this isn't the place. It always seems to be very loud here when the place is full. Quiet conversations turn into a full out shouting match. But you may like that atmosphere. Have been here when it isn't packed and is quite the good place to be. Still. The food here is so good. You shouldn't pass this place up. Burgers? OMG! Large patties that will fill you to the point you can't eat anymore!

Lisa Wippel

Good food good service

Julie-Marie Hanmer Diniz

Great food and reasonable prices

David Davidson

Loved the food, not so much the service. Food served, no cutlery! Ordered coffee, it arrived COLD

Blaise Wisman

The food was awesome, vary tasty as well as large portions. The prices were alright. The biggest downside is the size of the place, it is vary small and can get crowded at times. When I went we got a seat quite quick but the place filled up giving the place a vary busy feel.

Melissa Damota

I am a resident of Simcoe, I love the food at the Arms, I feel like its home cooked meals which separates this place from chain restaurants. The atmosphere is awesome in the new location and I love the outdoor patio in the summer! The arms also has a facebook page! I do wish they posted the specials to the facebook page - the features are always unique and tastey!

Sue E

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Have ate here a few times. Always enjoy the meals here. Definitely recommend,

Cassandra Young

Service was great! The food was delicious and well priced.

PopTart Grant Lambert

Great food, portion size is awesome. Drinks aren't a bad price and the staff is pretty on point

Kaveh Nateghi

Burger with the Smoker Topper is delish!

Charlie Montgomery

Good friendly service, the Arms Panzerotti was excellent.

Jeremy McMaster

Good food. A little on expensive side for lunch.

Peter Bowman

Great food reasonable prices together with good service. Lots of choice both food and beverages.

David Nazareth

Good food, good service and the price was right. Worth a visit.

Nancy Hill

Outside patio was nice, greeter wasn't quite as nice, with a direct NOPE when we asked to sit inside. Our server made up for that though, she was great. Aside from that, you now have to pay 2.00 for a water, no tap water given anymore if you just want a glass of water with lemon. Food was good, and fast service.

Jorge adiel Cobix machucho

(Translated) The place is perfect for a gathering of friends or family. (Original) El lugar es perfecto para una reunión de amigos o familia .

Carl Walters

Good service and good value! Their panzerotti are huge!

Richard Hirschmann

Always enjoyable

Cynthia Goodridge

Had to send soup back....cold ! Rest of meal was great! Disappointed that there were no gluten free options.

Taylor Alexis

I ate at The Arms on Saturday, November 20. The service from our waitress and bartender was amazing; very friendly, prompt, and professional. The food was great as were the drinks. They have the BEST pad thai; I order it every time. We also ordered the green curry chicken and it was awesome.

Adelle Rulli

Went here with my grandmother and boyfriend on Family Day. It's amazing what their portion sizes are like. And good food, too.

Brock Dunstall

My wife and I go here all the time the waiting staff are always friendly, and there's a nice bar section (also patio) with some good beers on tap!

Andre Meiller

Great service. Amazing variety of menu items. Awesome bison burger.

Christine Royle

Can't say enough good things about the food. Duck egg rolls and baked brie were amazing. The service was pleasant but slow. Two bite check in came when we were finishing up our apps and again with the mains. Drinks sat a but before getting refilled.

Victoria King

Food was fantastic!

Crystal Shannon

Good food. Love the atmosphere.

Good food

Marc Loran

Good place to enjoy a pint in Simcoe.

zenithia

Comfortable atmosphere, good service and great pub food! Edit 2019: Poor service, beer was warm and rancid, didnt get a chance to taste the food. Not a place I will return for another try

TS B

Dinner out almost came back out. What a disappointment. Ordered a Turkey que(SAD)illa. It came to the table soggy and tasteless all of the ingredients must have been microwaved from frozen except the cheese which there was lots of, probably to try and hide the wet sock mess that was to be food. I ate about 1/3. I am going to get better at complaining and not paying for this type of food but then again with the competition out there one would think asleep at the stove will mean no income someday soon. Word of mouth can be???

Tim Timar

My burger was pretty good. Other members in my party had problems with the food being cold. All in all it was ok.

Glen Krentz

Good food

David Smith

Dad and I had the pickerel and chips at 3:30 in the afternoon it was wonderful.The pickerel was cooked just right.The garlic bread was Delicious also The service was very friendly.We will return!

Darcy B

First time visit, which i mentioned to the hostess/waitress when we walked in. Started off with. "Sorry that table is reserved." "No you cant sit there you only have 4 people and that table is for 5." "You can have the table in the middle of the room"... We were finally able to find a table we were permitted to sit at. It was a table against the wall inbetween a quiet couple on one side and 2 very chatty, very loud women on the other. Wait staff do not look around. It's like we were non-existant to them (until tip time). Hard to get them to come back to the table. They also don't take your order with a note pad. They try to remember what you want. This is not impressive to me. I would prefer you write it down so I can ask questions and tell you exactly what I want. We asked for a drink menu. "All the drinks are there on the wall" Really!! the wall we were sitting against. I couldnt see the list as it was high above my head. We had to be very very patient! Not our style of seating. Very open with limited booths. Felt like we were sitting with the people beside us. Food was ok. Don't go in expecting to find pub style food on the menu. I think that's where we went wrong. They offer a 4 page full menu but specialize in nothing. The menu needs to be more simple. Not kid friendly at all (we had 2 with us)

Awaken Skeye

Burnt nachos :( one layer of cheese ?

Ken Gee

Great service. Food was awesome.

James McVey

Met here for a business lunch, food came quick and the service was great.

Heather L. Hanson

Great food

Nicollan George

This place uses to have good wings. But the last couple times I've ordered they have been dried out and hard. So when spending 70+ on food it's kind of a bummer to not be satisfied.

Ontario Gardening

This place is hit or miss with their food. Some dishes have been excellent, some actually foul. I wish it was consistent for the price we pay. I think I'm going to start trying somewhere else.

Tammy P

Not good food that I've experienced

Robert Alan Brush

Awesome Food and Service.

Larry & Beth Mansley

Been coming here since the Johnny Bo's era. Loved it then, love it now.

ApeLaw

Not a bad selection of tap brew, food is pretty good as well. Unfortunately, there were a lot of flies when I was there, so don’t turn away from your food and skip the party mix (if the put it out on the bar).

Nik Fennell

Food was pretty good. The wife and I would definitely come back. Great, freindly staff.

Shelley Martin

Fast friendly service!! Good food and nice atmosphere!! ????

Nabil Kaake

Food and Service are good

Cole's Camera

Ive only attended this establishment twice and each time has had varying results. First time I visited before covid, the food was excellent. I got the butter chicken and it was delicious, no problems. My 2nd visit was more recently and I decided to get a burger. It was extremely dry and the whole time we were being assaulted by flys, while eating indoors. The one big positive is the waitresses have always been pleasant.

Bal Sac

my food came to me cold . im pretty sure my prime rib had 90%fat myself and my gf boath got the prime rib and it was the same for her meal as well 20$ per meal wow

Such a beautiful night we sat outside. Friendly staff. Chicken stir fry was very good. Plenty of vegetables and chicken.

Curtis Saunders

first time having the wings, great flavor and nice a crispy, friendly staff. It's a place I recommend for a date night or a family meal out.

Omar Tantawy

The burger was good

Laren Rohrer

If I could less than one star, I would gladly give this place exactly it. This evening, we decided to go for an evening drink at our local pub. We received our round of two beers, one red wine, and a Long Island iced tea. My stepdaughter took a sip of her Long Island iced tea and realized that it was merely just syrup and had brought this matter to the waitress. The waitress then retrieved the drink and took it upon herself to pull down her mask, smell the drink, said will be right back. The “bartender” came over and said “Hi guys. I made this drink and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this drink. I made this drink myself. Here, our Long Island iced teas are made with an ounce of alcohol. If you’d like, I will gladly add another ounce for you no problem. If you’d like another drink, we can do that too but I will charge you for your iced tea as well as whatever drink you’d Iike next.” My stepdaughter responded “Hi. All I’m mentioning is that my iced tea has no alcohol in it whatsoever, and that it’s too sweet and I mentioned that to the waitress. You are being extremely confrontational and come over to verbally attack me and instead of apologizing and making it right”. Our waitress then came over back to our table, told us that she would take the iced tea off our bill, and she asked what she would like in return. So she asked for a bud light instead. When she came back with the beer, and she was consistently apologizing, we assured her that it was none of her wrongdoings and we appreciated her efforts to make it better. So it was set, we all had our drinks and are now able to sit and enjoy our drinks and spend time together. The bartender then came back over to the table and took all of our drinks, told us that “after speaking with the owner of the restaurant, it was decided that we would pack up for the evening and for us to leave. You were being rude with the waitress and you are being asked to leave.” This is absolutely incorrect and false information. We had asked to speak to the owner so we could discuss our experience face to face. But instead, she, the bartender, came back to the table, and she was adamant that we were leaving. We were completely shocked and surprised as we did nothing wrong. To our surprise, the owner was outside smoking and watching us leave, waited for us to leave before going back inside. I invite the owner and manager to contact me directly to address this situation, so perhaps we can have some clarification as to what we may or may not have done. As stated, living in a small town like Simcoe with a small handful of bars, this whole situation could have been completely different but it drastically turned out to be the worst going out experience I have ever personally dealt with. You have lost great patronage and will continue to do so if this is what your establishment promotes.

Debbie Boshart

I don't even want to give it any stars. Had fish & chips about 6 months ago, was so over cooked the fish shrank up to nothing. Even the waitress said this should not have left the kitchen. So this week we decided to give them another chance. What a mistake! Absolutely horrible lunch.....lettuce was brown in my salad and my husbands pizza was way over cooked. When complained they said that's the way the make their pizza....what? overcooked? Never ever will go back.

family byczyk

Good food. Prices have gone up recently though. Very nice wait staff. It is a sports bar too so it is loud but is nicer than most. Been there before a number of times with my family and I will return.

Melissa Taylor

Great food and service. Highly recommend

Dieter Bauer

They do not have a gluten free menu. I ordered chicken tiki,the meat was cold,salad was small handful of lettuce with with red onions. The fries were greasy from being cooked twice. Very disappointing. If you want a good meal try The Barrell

Justin Dygos

Rib and wing combo is more then worth it

Jennifer Whittaker

Food was excellent. Service, meh. Thank goodness another server took the time to make sure we were happy and looked after

Rod Sherman

If I could give 0 zero that’s what it would get go in for drinks the Long Island ice tea comes back with zero alcohol in it the waitress has the female bartender come over and she starts yelling at us that she knows what she made and there’s alcohol in it then storms off it gets replaced with a beer then the bartender comes over again and 2 minutes later and scoops up all the drinks and says she has talked to the owner and asked us to leave . Have had many $500 summer nights at this place but never ever again. Your not just losing regulars your losing a lot more !

jackie cleaves

Fast, friendly service. Bartender is awesome

Bettyann Mcfadzean

As always, food delicious, service great.

Brenda White

I love the Ruben sandwich...my husband really liked the special (beef enchiladas). The service was very good and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was hot. The restaurant was not too busy we were seated right away.

John Davis

Food ok - but the flies were terrible- spoke to the manager on duty who gave us a fly swatter- really!!!!!! - that’s the solution???

dafe1

Nice place, good food&prices!

Chris Ferguson

Good food and a decent beer selection on tap. Pricing is fair.

Norman Bolster

Great food friendly staff. The bar has a good selection of beer on tap.

Mel Courneyea

Love the atmosphere. Great food. Always seems to be packed and people lined up to sit...always a good sign

Jacqueline Smith

Great service, great food!!

Caliman Mladic

While I have had good food here, today I ordered the "Pad Thai" 50% higher price than downtown toronto thai restaurants wrong ingredients, also missing BASIC ingredients like crushed peanuts and bean sprouts tasted like wet garbage for 17 dollars Never again

C N

If zero was an option I would have given this establishment that, instead of the one star. Terrible experience. Service/management/food was all an issue. Server/management very defensive and lacked basic and very simple customer service skills, to empathize with their customer and rectify the issue, in a timely and appropriate manner. Won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend!

Canadian Monkey

The staff here is amazing. The food is great and the atmosphere is really nice!! Would definitely recommend!!

Lana costigan

Stopped in for lunch a week ago. Great little patio. Lots of choices on the menu. Food and service were very good. Will definitely be back.

MrMcIntyre1220

The service was top notch, I believe our waitress was Olivia (great waitress) but the food was not the best. I ordered the fisherman's platter. The shrimp, scallops and calamari was very over cooked and the fish was just a saturated log of cooking oil with a small somewhat edible piece of fish inside. Out of the 5 of us who went, no one was overly satisfied with the food. This was our first time there and the overall concencious was that no one would likely return.

Brian Mahaffy

A very nice surprise,excellent menu and food .Staff is pretty great too.

Dan Romanoski

Food so so

Sophie Fenwick

We have eaten here many, many times. Fairly new to area and were introduced to Simcoe Arms by a family member. We both have ordered the same meals every time we have been there. This is our fourth summer here and we’ve been a year in off and on covid lockdown. We live an hour away. Absolutely my favorite restaurant ever. Even though I order the same meal every time I detect a difference. I am sure it is each chef’s/cook’s individual twist, the meal is great. I love it so much I never order anything else. Today I ordered my usual and made a comment that there must be a new cook. Meaning only that it was different. Not meant in any way to demean any other cook. I only meant that it was great and different. I am sure that I have had this meal 20/30 times and loved it every time. But I think I may have offended the server by unintentionally inferring that the other cooks were not as good. That is far from true. If the food was exactly the same every time I probably would have gotten tired of this meal. Different cooks with their different twists make this meal great every time I get to eat here. I love it and I can’t wait till the next time I get to eat here. I am sorry Maryann if you thought I was being offensive

Jeremy Lambrecht

Wings are great

Rachel Bond

Love the food

Court7173

Delicious food, reasonably priced.

April Dawson

Kitchen was slow tonight but it was a full house very crowded....waitress was amazing friendly and gave us our appetizer free because it took so long to come out. Impeccable customer service, fantastic food

David Collins

I had the Red Currie dish today. It tasted like cheap spaghetti sauce that comes from spaghetti-o's and a little bit of coconut. I tried a bit of a burger, and it was pretty good. I guess just stick to simple dishes such as burgers at this place.

Rachel Jones

I go here often. But seems when my son comes the service is next to nothing. Wanted him to bring home some food but waitress avoided their table since they received their food. Just a point. Just because their teens, doesn’t mean they should be treated with less respect. Not going to go here much anymore.

Daniel Guimaraes

Very good service

Cory Goulden

Awesome service and staff! Cozy with great bar food. There may be other choices but that's what we order every week so ask I can comment on.

Rick Twyman

I did not come to your restaurant because the menu is hidden on facebook. Not everyone is on facebook. You're losing customers.

Cheryl Murphy-Simon

Great homemade burgers!!

Sheldon Armstrong

S L O W Service. Hours waiting for 2 sandwiches. How is that even possible? Not to mention . There was a wait time with over 6 tables open. A few of which were for 2 people... Well for us there was. Next group that walked in as 2 people got seated right away. Even though we were standing right there. Last time I come here... terrible service and dry food. All I can say about this place

Kathy Smith

Took my husband for our anniversary last night March 3lst 2015 I ordered chicken curry consisted of 2 pieces of chicken l leg not sure what the other was slapped on a bed of rice some curry the chicken was not cut up nothing else diid not look very good or tasted good either. My husband ordered ribs and fries the cook cannot cook fries the potatoes must have been in the bin for ages and they tasted and looked terrible too. the only thing the drinks were good and am glad we did not order the fish an chips.

Nicole Button

We stopped in on a whim on our way home from the beach and were pleasantly surprised by our experience. Our server was great - friendly, timely, and helpful, and the food was excellent as well. My husband kept raving about the burger the rest of the day!

Jojo Mahin

Perfect setting for a lunch anniversary. Never been here before , being a food critic I was very impressed with the Cordon bleu and the smoked stacked burger ...sooo yum Thank you I'll be sure to come back and post a blog on this restaurant -The Mahons

Shari Graham

Excellent spot for lunch

Nigel Watson

Ordered Pad Thai. Came to the table looking like some sort of soup. The flavors weren't very Thai inspired at all. Next order was Pulled pork flat bread. Another disappointment unfortunately. The pulled pork had a canned tuna texture. Made me wonder when it was made? Not very good at all. Side note, they make you buy bottled water if thats what you prefer to drink. Can't have a free glass of tap water? I heard the fried foods might be better choices? Overall nothing special. I'll be avoiding this restaurant.

I have to say I thought the place looked nice. I was excited to try their burger and fries. It tasted like filler and was wet and mushy inside. Actually gag worthy. They did nothing to remove it from our 50$ bill. They were kindly told it was not tasty and not edible. Very disappointed. Also nothing is more annoying than flies around my table inside the restaurant. Sorry nothing good to say. If you want to make it right pm me a credit and I would gladly retract review and would try chicken wings and fries or fish and chips.

HELEN Grieve

Fries were still a bit raw and the roasted veg on burger was tastless. My fusbands food was good. Attitude from staff was poor, it was my fault! Wont go back.

Darrell Maclean

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly wait staff

Greg Bonney

We went in for the panzerotti's. They came recommended. We were warned by the waitress that they are huge. That's what we were looking for. They were big. We weren't disappointed. 3 different Panzerotti's and they were all good. 3 days later and still eating leftovers. Service could have been a little better. Our daughter chose the the kids menu. You don't get much for $8.99. Plus the fries were frozen and tasted like it. A big X for me is not being asked if we want another drink. That lost 1 star alone. Always busy there, but we were sat right away. Lucky!

Deb OB

Always good food

Meg Hamm

As always, The Simcoe Arms was everything I wanted it to be. Great food, excellent service and an amazing atmosphere!

The best pub in Norfolk county. Staff are friendly and polite

Bruce Dumouchelle

What a great find . Excellent menu. I had the jumbylaya. Cold beer on the patio. We’ll be back

richard townsend

Best wings around

Michelle Thibeault

Loved the arms until tonight. Service ok.. Appetizer would have been good minus the ft long hair. I understand it happens. But no compensation what so ever. Not even a sorry. And no fork. Not sure we will return.

Gail Cox

Excellent food, great service.

Mary Peever

Good food

Katie Arnold

Service excellent, food delicious, prices fair.

Travis Gibbons

Good grub and good service - been there about 5 times over the past few years and always good

Mike Hall

Great food good service

Sylvia Mcgeary

Had a take out order of fish and chips....fish was more batter than fish and very thick, chips were scarce very dark and possibly reheated..awful.

Herb Lausch

Food was first class pub food. The waitress was friendly and prompt. The only complaint if you would; would be that we had our grandchildren with us and it would have been nice if their food would have come quicker. They were pretty rowdy by the time out food came. Will definitely go again.

Peter Mcdowell

Good food, and cold beer..

J Singh

A good place. Clean, good service and generous portions. A bit hard to find as it tucked into a strip mall with big box stores but well worth finding. Much better than the chain restaurants surrounding the area.

Jason Kreuger

Waited for over an hour for our food. Came to table and burger was cold and fish was cold fry’s half raw never going back

Ryan K

Very happy with fish and chips. The beer battered tasted fresh, the pickerel was perfectly cooked. Complete experience with slaw and all the trimmings. The service was excellent and fast for lunch. Yum-yum in the tum-tum!

Jason Davis

Great food

Paul Davy

Was not overly impressed. A friend ordered a coke and it was totally flat. The waitress said she'd replace it but the second coke was still flat. So she suggested a glass of water. I ordered the liver with bacon & onions. With a baked potato. I told her to bring lots of sour cream. She brought one little cup. Half way through my baked potato I requested more sour cream. When the bill came she had charged $1.75 for the sour cream. But declared that to us that she cut us a break because she only charged full price for the first sour cream and charged only .75 cents for the second one declaring she charged us for mayo instead. Honestly what restaurant charges for sour cream when you order a baked potato? I doubt if I'll ever go back.

gal

fish and chips, although very tasty fries were very few. not enough to fill an apetite

Cheryl Bates

Good food.

Eric Pagett

The food is amazing they have excellent Cuisine and really put a lot of care into the food the calamari was delicious duck rolls were amazing and their nachos were fantastic absolutely great place to eat

Elizabeth Winchester

Your typical 'pub' atmosphere. The menu is vast and the food does not disappoint! Children's meals are on the high end at $8.99 each but was enough for the meals and leftovers for my little guy. Would recommend and plan to visit again when I am in Simcoe!

Trish Butler

Always excellent

Janet Dawe

I have only been there for takeout but the staff are great & the wings are Awesome

chad cail

It's good for all your deep-fried needs but don't get the steak

Rick Antonissen

Very friendly service and the panzeraties are huge.

Larry Sartoretto

Great Food !! Amazing Ceasers

joe buck

Not good . Terribly rude service I mean really bad . The food was ok , but not good enough to make up for the server

malcolm horton

Clean, good protocols in place. Bright inside from big windows, and the fireplace in corner was terrific on cold day. Staff were personable and efficient.

Michele Quaegebeur

Service was great but very slow...

Carol Small

Good food, cold budweiser!

Willy Nilly

Great variety of food (pub fare, burgers, steak, seafood, Italian, thai, pizza, etc.) Servers were attentive and kind. Table service was quick. The flies (we sat inside) were annoying.

Geoff Kerman

Definitely worth the drive! My parents and I tried this restaurant out for the first time last night and we will all be back! The food was amazing! I ordered a green curry, and I loved it! The sauce was nicely spicy, not overly so, and really accentuated the dish! The noodles were cooked perfectly and the cauliflower and carrots were lightly steamed and still a bit crunchy. My mom ordered a Santa Fe salad that was absolutely huge, and my dad ordered fish and chips. Both raved about how impressive the food was. The host and server were courteous and accommodating. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us after a reasonable wait. Patrons would be well advised to have a reservation during these COVID times. You can get a walk-in spot, but keep in mind there may be a wait.

crystal mckibbon

Best wings in Simcoe by far!!!!!

Bonnie Laurie

Great home made food and good prices

Seanna O'Donnell

So my husband and I typically enjoy going to this restaurant. The food is good, atmosphere etc. We also enjoy bringing our 6 year old in with us as its a nice family restaurant. However! This past Saturday we went in for a date night and the waitress we had was absolutely awful! She was rude from the time we arrived to when we left. We didn't even finish our drinks because we didn't want her coming back to our table as it felt like a huge inconvenience for her. When we arrived I asked her if we could sit at a table I had pointed out in the dining room area and she replied with "um that one is wet and dirty so no, choose another one" so we choose the one beside it. She came over with our menus and threw them on our table and walked away. There was no hello, no attempt to take our drink orders - nothing. The food also came out cold (this is the first time we had a bad meal here) My husband and I don't get out too often just the two of us and I found the hospitality to be disgustingly bad, we will not be returning to this restaurant for any special occasion that's in my control. If this was my first experience here, I would be giving this a 1 star.

Stopped for supper as a group of seven and we were very pleasantly surprised. Covid protocols were being followed, all of the food was delicious and our server Sam was excellent. Would definitely recommend
