What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Heart of Muskoka Fries is a beloved local spot known for its cozy Canadiana decor and hearty comfort food, especially its famous fries and burgers. While many praise the delicious food and friendly atmosphere, some reviewers have noted inconsistencies in food quality and service, particularly concerning fries and poutine preparation, and occasionally mention limited vegetarian options.
"My experience wasnt exactly what I expected, I still give 5 stars to this place.
I am vegetarian when the server took my order I did specify to get western omelette without bacon, however the chef didn’t understand the server’s message and it seemed like there was a bit of misunderstanding. They ended up putting sausage in my omelette. The server was extremely apologetic and quickly got me another meal. Didn’t charge me for the food.
The fries were extremely good! Overall was a good experience despite the mishap."

"There is so much to look at in and around Heart of Muskoka Fries that you couldn't see it all before your food comes out. The food was delicious, but the fries got soggy, driving back to the cottage. Recommend eating there while it's fresh. Get there early, they close at 6pm"

"Not far off the beaten path. This is a diamond in the rough because of the locals constantly stopping by( that’s how you know a place is good). Customers greeting the owner with local garden produce as a friendly hello. Calling each other by first name and the food was really good.. not fancy but super delicious! A definite must if you’re in the area. Prices are very reasonable!"
