On our way back from a Muskoka getaway, we made a split-second highway exit kind of decision to…read morestop in here - and it was meant to be. Friday afternoon, approaching 4pm, we parked in the large lot, and had a refreshing sample of Wandr (non-alcoholic sparkling tea beverage) on the way into the main entrance. A brewery tour was just beginning, so we were gratefully whisked into the cool production area behind the shoppe with James, a home-brew maker, beer enthusiast and clear fan of Muskoka Brewery. Tour details: It costs just $5 for about 40 minutes to tour the production site with interesting and surprising details of how this became one of Canada's favourite breweries. No long boring lists of facts and figures. Photos are encouraged, and you'll emerge back into the brew shoppe with a free frosty cold can of the beer that started it all: Muskoka Brewery Cream Ale. Once back in the retail area, you'll find t-shirts, hoodies and hats with the cool northern vibe, and sample anything on the menu. We tried (then bought) gin, Wandr (Lemonade Lemongrass!) and several different craft beers. Though we didn't stay to dine on the large covered patio, we could hear the live music while we shopped, and were surprised at how genuinely helpful and friendly every staff member was. If you want to chill out and enjoy good beverages in a laid-back, woodsy yet polished Canadian vibe - this is worth the drive.

They brew their beer onsite and you can buy beer and souvenirs to take home. Monday - lunch I liked their honey cream ale. Gord had a Caesar wrap and fries. I had the burger and fries special (for $15). Both were good. Abby was our server and she friendly and chatty and took good care of us. Tuesday - supper That night the special was $18 for a pint and a pound of chicken wings so that's what Gord and I had. His were battered and mine were battered and then tossed in medium sauce. Yum! Leah was our friendly and chatty server. Wednesday - supper When we went for supper, it was jammed inside so we ate outside in the "beer garden". I had the steak and frites special ($25). I'd ask for medium and the steak was well-done but happily still tender. The fries were overdone. Gord had a club sandwich and said it was good. His fries were overdone too.

She is a local Realtor whom we done business with for years. My brother and his wife arrived first and was a bit early and the owner greeted them warmly and as he knew there were 3more of us coming without even being asked he asked a gentleman to move over one seat and brought over a couple of others stools so by the time I arrived I had a great seat at the bar waiting for me. Now for the Bar Tender....once again she was exceedingly warm and friendly and was delighted to tell us about the house drinks. I decided to ask it they had Margueritas as they weren't on the drink menu. She then carefully went over the different types of Tequila I could choose from which included Patron my personal favourite. She then created the best Margarita Ive ever had. My brother and his wife had Gin and Tonics created with the same care and flair as were the Virgin Ceasars ordered by our friends. We then were moved to our table and were warmly welcomed by our charming Kiwi waitress who had a wonderful sense of humour and provided terrific attentive service throughout our meal. Now for the food...I chose the Mulligatawny soup which was delicious and the Prime Rib which came with roast potatoes perfect Yorkshire pudding and a medley of beautifully cooked fresh vegetables which even included parsnips which as a transplanted Brit I thought was a creative touch... even the red wine gravy was spot on. My sister in law had The Blackened Mahi Mahi out friends both had the chicken supreme and my brother the seafood casserole. Each of these dishes was prepared with great care were creatively garnished and had generous portions... none of those tiny haute cuisine portions here.... We left stuffed but not before sampling their creme brulet which was also perfect. While outside after dinner I encountered the kitchen staff and they were equally friendly and interesting and we shared our passion for great food. Both my brother and I share a passion for great food and are no strangers to the kitchen. When guests come to our family cottage they are always delighted with our fare but once in awhile its nice to get away and let someone else do the work. Often Im disappointed when my dinner arrives has skimpy portions and I sit there thinking I could have made it better myself... theres none of that here! At the end of the day it comes down from the top as wise owners appreciate their staff and while setting high standards ensure that each staff member is treated fairly and with respect. It was apparent that each of the staff we met were happy to work there in this warm collegial environment. The final touch was that as I couldn't eat all my main course I asked our server if I could take it to go. Rather than simply drop a takeout container on the table she took it in the back packaged it up and returned it as we were leaving... we were sent off with the same warmth as when we were greeted and left feeling we had made some new friends... we can't wait to go back!....Crisco

My husband really enjoyed his rainbow trout tacos, and I thought my tofu burger hit the spot. The restaurant had a great selection of beers and my husband liked his. My Sauvignon blanc was decent. However my parents didn't have a great meal. They ordered the dry ribs, which turned out not to be dry rubbed ribs but battered rib nuggets. Super disappointing. Their onion rings were also mediocre - big portion but small rings and lots of batter. The kids menu had your typical fried stuff but also a roasted chicken and rice dish, with peas and onions. Dessert included a cookie or ice cream. They had an outside patio and plenty of tables inside where there are TVs and a view of the fermentation tanks which my kids enjoyed taking a closer look at. They also had coloring crayons. Fun spot and good random drop by, but I guess you just have to be careful what you order!

Don't be surprised if your food hits the table before a tipple. Both the Great North mule and spicy vodkarita were well balanced with enough alcohol to create a kick that reminds you there's 2oz in the drink. And while the pink raspberry lemonade looks and tastes refreshing, the fake raspberry flavour just didn't cut it for me. We all agreed that their fries rock. The parmesan truffle fries ($12) feature cut potatoes that arrive sizzling hot and covered with enough grated parmesan to create a melted crust on top. The truffle oil was a bit muted but I'm fine with it not being so overpowering. Their sweet potato fries ($12) are one of the best I've sampled, fluffy and cut thinly so there's a lovely crunchy crust to encapsulate the sweet soft interior. The fries going wonderfully with the buffalo chicken dip ($15), a gooey creamy sauce that has quite the cheese pull as well as large chunks of chicken breast. I only wish it was served with the "warm flat bread" noted on the menu instead oily fried pita that was so heavy paired with the dairy. I just stuck with the fries for dipping. In between a starter and a main lies the seafood chowder ($20), which arrives hot with a few scant slices of toasted baguette. The soup has a wonderful flavour but is more potato than seafood... I tasted some white fish and perhaps a bay scallop but little of the lobster and wild salmon that is touted on the menu. If you're looking for something to soak up the booze, their handhelds are the way to go. The turkey burger ($23) features a surprisingly juicy patty (when compared with their beef burger) that gets a bit of extra flavour from the feta and spinach that's mixed into the pulverized patty. The sweet and savoury tomato preserve was an interesting condiment that lends the burger a hint of cranberry sauce taste.
