Jake's Place Restaurant — Restaurant in Unorganized Centre Parry Sound

Let me start by saying that they were BUSY! There had to be at least 50 sleds in the parking lot and shoulder of road. Food was good and hot - when it came. I waved the manager over to ask about our meal when I noticed that a person I was talking to outside (who got on the waiting list at least 3 groups after mine) was seated and eating. He stated that they were busy and he would check then asked what we had ordered. He came back and said that our order is on the grill and they are working on it. Also all the tickets are time stamped and appear to be in order. Fair enough but I don't see how someone who's order had to go in at least 30 min after mine was finished eating before mine is served. My receipt was time stamped as 1:38pm and lunch served at 3:12pm. We did not get an apology for the time nor offered a discount or anything. If they tried to do anything for us other than say "we appreciate your patience " I could easily give 4 stars but it seems like they didn't see an issue even when a few of the staff would walk by with that look on their face that clearly says 'you're...

Excellent back country restaurant. Great food and service. If it's summer or winter, they greet you with smiles and great food.

This family owned restaurant is located in the Near North of Ontario, just off the beaten trail of Hwy #11. Go east on Hwy #522 off of Trout Creek, and you'll run into this little town with year rounders, cottagers and hunters.

The surrounding lakes are beautiful and you just may see some wildlife up close, if your lucky.

Here are some picture from way back.

Update: went back for a second meal, tried the Big Breakfast this time - large delicious portion. Home fries were undercooked, but when I mentioned it, it was rectified right away with a new side of hot, perfectly cooked, potatoes. Will go back again.

Went for breakfast while on vacation and will definitely return - yummy french toast, excellent sausages and Hubby said the bacon was terrific. I know it's odd to add in this next part when reviewing food, buuuut, the bathrooms were super duper clean and that's absolutely noteworthy...
