Rock Dell Steak House — Restaurant in Collingwood

Saw great reviews & wanted a local mom & pop shop, it was full house when we went in for our Reservations right on time! Saw the notices about short staff but didn’t anticipate… Waited almost 1 hour for salads, breads & appetizers only to realize everyone got their soups of the day until I asked by this time it was over the 1 hour mark. We finally got our main courses in “1. 45”mins. Thought we were going to end up eating there while they’re closed? The food was good but while my hubby only eats med well his T-Bone was barely medium. As for the meat platter the veal & sausage was good only. My friend who ordered the special of the day did not even get her coffee or tea that it came with? We didn’t want to ask in case it took 1/2 hour more? The wait staff were nice it’s not their fault but they never apologized to us for waiting for so long? Though the food was good it wasn’t gourmet or anything extravagant worth waiting 1.45 mins for to eat or anything you haven’t tried. Also by the time you get your dinner you’ll be so hangry anything would taste good. We didn’t get out of there until 8:40 pm & missed our last 8pm pool time. Our reservation was at 6:15pm. So unless you are not hungry at all and don’t mind sitting inside while watching them trying to figure it out & have over 2 hrs. to kill with nothing to do nearby as it’s far away from the main area & willing to settle for OK food? Plan on wasting min 2.5 hours of your vacation time with your family & friends & kids during dinner. Or maybe you’re a couple in love but if it’s your first date & you’re NOT into each other & you don’t...

We found this little place and so glad we did it’s a family owned business. That’s been here for more than 45 years. It’s right down the street from the Living Waters resort. The atmosphere is straight out of the 80s and a little dark, but that was OK. We had a nice open window near our table and our server. Ashley was absolutely wonderful wonderful.. Had great options for both wine and food and I couldn’t believe that you would get a salad bar, a soup of vegetable and a potato with your meal and if you got a steak, the mushrooms came with it. Absolutely enough to feed a super hungry bear. We both got the filet mignon and they were absolutely delicious. We have in bacon. They came with steamed carrots that were cooked perfectly. The mushrooms were delicious. The salad bar was small, but delicious dressing was very savory. Prices were more than reasonable I don’t think a lot of tourists know about this place or go there. It seemed most of the people there were elderly. They had a beautiful second room for what seemed to be a private party. We might even go there again tonight for dinner it was that good and again, especially from the US. The prices are...

Went for the anniversary $35 Surf & Turf meal. First off, I understood it was a $25 special, so when we got the bill for almost $100 at the end I was a bit shocked. For that price, I have had MUCH better meals.. but we did find out at the till AFTER our meal that the price included salad and dessert as well.

The place was PACKED. And it was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. We were jammed in at long tables like sardines in a can. We couldn't hear the servers at all, so dinner conversation didn't happen.

I was quite disappointed in my meal. My steak was overcooked, chewy and cold. Lobster is not my thing, so I gave it to my boyfriend who said it was just ok. Everything was served separately so there was quite a span of time between items. By the time the mushy carrots and baked potato came, I had lost my desire.. unfortunately, as the tiny baked potato and the pie were the best parts of the meal. My boyfriend didn't want dessert (he was full) but we weren't told that it was all part of the price, or we'd have taken it home.

Now, I've eaten here quite a few times in the past, I can honestly say that I've never been WOWED, but it's been...
