Another restaurant to try!

If in long point ontario you ought to take a stop by the coop restaurant! Do not judge a book by it's cover! It is a tiny little building with a kitchen that you would expect in a much larger establishment. Food varies from some of the best breaded fish you will find to a slice of apple pie piled high with icecream and whipped cream and who knows what else. To their award winning awesome burger to their award winning chicken fingers... my 0ne year old definatly gives their grilled cheese a thumbs up! If you are in the area I would suggest giving it a try!

Restaurant to try!

Last night my wife and I ate at The dogs nest just outside of simcoe ontario. The service was awesome , the food ( mostly smoked items like pulled pork, bbq beef and their own dog balls) The service was very genuine . They spent time talking to to my 1 yr old son and didn't make us feel rushed at all. In the end awesome food, awesome service and a dining experience second to none! If you own a harley you'll love it here. Friday the 13th is coming take a stop in and enjoy.... you won't be disappointed. Make sure and try the key lime cheese cake and the smoky sauce provided on the table.
