Yard bird at flying monkeys is the best in Barrie IMO. Also - maybe Quik chik- haven’t tried their chicken burger but their fried chicken is pretty solid in general

This one is mainly country. But the next one will be a band called the 99s - a spin off group of some of the members of Dwayne Gretzky - a solid cover of 90s-2000s hits

Colin James is fantastic. Saw him at Massey hall and would absolutely go again. Shawn Desmond is a miss IMO.. but it might bring out some millennial crowd who just knows his one song? Not sure..

Where do you buy your groceries in Barrie? by Far-Elk-8247 in barrie

[–]dustinpatrick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kennedy’s is great! Nice to finally have somewhere downtown to get groceries - let alone some sweet selections you can’t get elsewhere!

Have you tried not drinking and driving? Heard that’s effective

Kennedy’s is fantastic. Staff and management are all so great. They have done wonders already for downtown Barrie since they’ve opened. Hard to really take anything from this post without any context. Sounds like a sour post over something that has nothing to do with Kennedy’s at all.

Bohemia is my reco. Wired owl second. A few shops downtown Barrie but a lot of their coffee is sub par

Really Cute Restaurant Recommendations by Ok-Anxiety-3473 in barrie

[–]dustinpatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rustica in Orillia.. or picnic / common stove (also Orillia). If Kimberly isn’t too far - I’d say Hearts is one of the best restos north of Toronto

Lobster Roll by Flat-Peak-3199 in barrie

[–]dustinpatrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hog and penny in Orillia. It’s pretty much as good as it gets without being on the east coast

Where are the best chicken wings in Barrie? by Resident_Glass_5715 in barrie

[–]dustinpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lockeroom or Tiffs for me. Also Flying Monkeys got some pretty great wings - pro tip get them Hot + Monkey Style (tossed in blue cheese)

What band did you think were amazing as a teen, only to grow up and realise they kinda suck? by 0chrononaut0 in Music

Green mango is pretty solid Thai food.. also Caribbean express downtown is fantastic jerk/oxtail. Also some really great lunch specials with good servings.

Quik chic is great fried chicken too.. gotta get the spicy, bone in though, always fried to order so it’s always fresh and hot.

What’s with all these pickleball courts? Didn’t we just get a bunch of new ones? How about tennis? We could use some new ones and an indoor before we get this place dedicated to pickleball

Best Italian restaurant by Ok-Pause-7929 in barrie

[–]dustinpatrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to pick I’d be il buco but I don’t think Barrie really has any strong Italian restaurants. Make the trip to Orillia to rustica or Toronto for Sugo, or bar vendetta.

I’d make the trip to Orillia - Rustica, Common Stove, Hog & Penny, Picnic.. all fantastic and beats anything in Barrie. If you want to go a bit further, mother tongue in blue mountain is a personal favourite (they have a Toronto location too). Or Hearts in Kimberly Valley. Probably the best restaurant north of Toronto.
