KELSEYS ORIGINAL ROADHOUSE REVIEWS

Had a late lunch with some girl friends and Shannon was our waitress. We all received wonderful, attentive service, even tho we were taking forever to decide what we should eat. Thanks again Shannon, im not from Lindsay but ill be back soon to Kelsey’s to try more of the amazing menu. And she always offered us another beer when she saw we were almost finished ours.

Absolutely great food tonight. Had a table of 10 and food was served fast and hot and delicious. Our waiter Jack was spot on! Friendly, efficient, personable. Made our visit very enjoyable! He is a real asset to your restaurant! Keep up the great work Jack! You were amazing. We will be back and will ask to sit at your table again.

We had another amazing meal at Kelsey’s. Our server Jody, was so helpful. My wife is so picky when it comes to her food touching each other and her plate came out so carefully separated and perfect. We would definitely come back again.

THE ORIGINAL JUST FOR THE HALIBUT REVIEWS

We have a cottage about 10 km from Just for the Halibut but had never eaten there until this weekend. So glad we did. The food was fresh, delicious and prompt, and the server we had was wonderful. The only criticism I have is with the opening hours. Like many Bobcaygeon restaurants, they have limited opening hours and closed on Sunday. I can understand this during the winter but you would think in full tourist season they would be open longer and more often.

Incredible food, lovely restaurant located in bobcaygeon, which really shows the joy/friendliness of the town and the community sense. Had the best service from staff with endearing conversations and local community.

Huge portions, got the burger, it was massive and so was the serving of fries. Staff was great, definitely recommend. Also for the price, it was excellent value.

GUSTO GRANDE REVIEWS

It’s a beautifully decorated restaurant, the food was great. The waiters were very friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant was at capacity they were completely on point with service. When we forgot our leftover food cartons on our table, our waiter came out of the restaurant to make sure we didn’t forget them. I didn't catch his name but he had curly dark short hair, glasses, and was very personable. The atmosphere and people around us seemed very happy and entertained which added to the experience.

Friendly service and the food was absolutely delicious. I love when my steak is actually cooked to the temperature I asked for.

Excellent Italian food ,the service and food are top notch here ,lots to choose from on the menu with great sizes of each meal ,nice tables and very quiet comfortable sit down dinning.
