Great place with a good Muskoka vibe and a delicious food! The staff are welcoming and friendly. I've been there many times over this summer and it's always a pleasant experience. Also, having pool tables / darts makes this place even more entertaining. Cool place to meet with your friends to hang out, highly recommend :)
The staff was very friendly and food was decent and well proportioned for the price. However, we found the sweet potato fries were too thin and slightly overcooked. The creamy turkey soup (soup of the day) lacked the creamy texture but was well flavoured. Would stop by again if in the area.
There were 11 of us on sleds on Sat Feb 29/22 at about 11:30. Our server was fabulous! She kept it lite and got it all right and made us laugh and took our pictures.... . And we were probably a real pain to coordinate. The kitchen was efficient and accurate. Food all good. Only suggestion is that we have had great wings there before and the wings on Sat were not your usual. Way small, less meaty, a bit over fried. Hope you will talk with your supplier to get the wings back to flying straight. Gladly pay a couple bucks more per pound for superior wings. Thanks for being there - we have been regulars since you opened.
Good food great service. We use to go there a lot several years ago and found we didn't like some of the changes they had done so we stopped going
We thought we would try it again. Glad we did. We have been there three times so far in July. From the time we walk in Joanne has greeted us with a friendly welcome and great service. She is efficient, polite and she really hustles to make sure all patrons are having a good time. She asks if everything is good throughout the meal
Food was very good and they have this unique salad - that is a combination of a Greek and Caesar salad - it is always good.
So to Joanne and the rest of the staff Great Job
Nov 2021, Amazing service and food was delicious. Enjoyed the variety of beer and the wings and poutine...omg! Great job.
2019, Let's start by saying over the years, I have not always been happy with service or consistency and wait times to name of few. A few of these issues I read in reviews just now. Hard for me when the owners are friends but business is business and I work a food service job as well. Myself and 5 friends decided to eat there again last night based on location to a venue we had later. WOW!š is what I have to say now since not eating there in over a year. Not sure if it's a new cook, menu upgrade or what but Blake's is back on my return listš. The server was fantastic! She retained all 6 orders in her head and apps, didnt miss one detail. The draft beer was Super coldššŗWas 1 other table in with us so not busy yet but the apps came out quickly, hot and the serving dishes so funš. All 6 of the main courses prepared are presented beautifully. Lots of food for the price per item. This location provides a cottage cabin atmosphere. Pool tables and perfect for a snow machine location stop. Looking forward to more wings, cold beer. Well Done š
I am having a hard choice determining what to set the stars at because Iāve had multiple experiences and it seems to me that whomever is working (or lack there of) determines whether we enjoy ourselves or not.
Hereās some key points.
> The family who owns this restaurant used to have presence a lot but now we barely see them.
>Service staff FOH. Breakfast is usually busy but well handled. We usually go on weekends and itās good.
However, our experience about 4 weeks ago was atrocious. We sat near the kitchen so could here everything that was being said and let me tell you, you blakes need to stop employing a lot of these people. We overheard comments that Iām greatful our kids werenāt there. Who am I to ruin a smoke break but kindly donāt have it in your hand or mouth when serving me please. The cook man looks unkempt.
>We notably noticed two recent changes that we were very happy with and thatās the woman in the kitchen who used to cater the Festival of the Sound dinners and banquets (red hair) Weāve come twice when sheās cooking and just excellent.
Second, the young man who hosts and checks on our table is extremely pleasant to have there. He looks like heās a son (long hair)
Maybe build from those two positives onward as you donāt want to lose your following.
Iām was going to give you 3 stars but will be 4 as hopeful you care what longtime customers say.
Great food but service was really slow. Perhaps they were short staffed but they didn't communicate. Five stars because staff is friendly and food is always good.
