Well I just had what is likely one of the best burgers I've had during my burger eating career (See aerial photo) lol and it wasn't at all a surprise. I've been to the Captains Grill several times but because the Philly steak&cheese was so awesome the first time I have found it difficult to delve into the extremely varied menu but today I tried the bacon/cheese burger and it was as good as any homemade burger you'll find anywhere but at a roadside eatery? Yes!!! if you long for something made with love and the freshest ingredients (which counts OUT!!! the inexplicably busy place just north of Orillia) the place that locals like myself would never spend a nickel in but if you want something light or you are very hungry the Captains Grill scores a homerun from the fast and friendly customer service to the absolutely amazing burgers,chicken, poutine and many other hunger quelling choices.

The locally owned restaurant I serve/work at is better priced, and you get more for your buck. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I am truly disappointed as I like supporting...
Read moreMy wife and I have been here many times over the last month. We love the food, prices were great. One day they made a mistake on my dinner when I ordered spaghetti. They had put chili on the spaghetti instead of meat sauce. They had offered to remake the meal for me or to give it to me for free. I decided to take the spaghetti and man I'll tell you that dish was awesome. I had suggested they add that to the menu! And yes the Chili is wonderful, very meaty. The only thing I would like to see is more variety in the daily soups, for a while it just seemed to be a tomato or chicken soup. I would highly recommend this place. Burgers are nice, the spicy sausage on a bun...
