The Crazy Fox Bistro - Barrie

I went there all the way from Downtown Toronto, because of the Australian lamb. I usually go there order only that. So disappointed. Lamb looks and taste like they got it from Costco. I ordered medium, it was RARE not even close to the medium. Seasoning all wrong. If they don't have Australian lamb on that day, just put it off on the menu that day.

Went to dinner tonight with the girlfriend. This is the second time we have gone here in the last two years. Last time we asked to sit on the patio and we're told it was reserved; so we sat inside the dinner and service was ok, we stayed there for 1 1/2 hours and finished our meal and no one was ever on the patio. I gave them another chance today as I will with most places. The service was sufficient, however the food was subpar. We both ordered the salmon dish and did not enjoy it at all. For a $35 dish it was lacking in flavour and style. The jasmine rice on the side was just rice in chicken broth that I could make at home and the girlfriend makes better salmon at home with just basic ingredients. The restaurant decor is dated and most of the seating is on the balcony, it would be nice if the owners took a look at all the dust and cobwebs that are behind the mirrors and on all the ledges. All this is in the line of sight of the customers when they are sitting at their tables. The first time I went to this restaurant was about 20 years ago and it was top notch, it seems like they are riding on the past glory and have not refreshed in a long while. I'm sure the pandemic impacted them but it is definitely time for them to do some improvements. I don't think I will go back, as there are so many better restaurants in and under their price point.

I really enjoyed Barrielicious at The Crazy Fox the food was good but the service was exceptional! The wait staff go out of their way to ensure you are enjoying your time. One of our guests had endured a hard day and said the enthusiasm of the waitress just lifted my mood! My one comment for improvement is that the decor is dated but that would not stop me from returning it has a homey atmosphere, very comfortable.

I am a student, on a student budget but wanted to have a nice fancy dinner out with my boyfriend. This place is located right on bayfield but in between uptown and downtown Barrie. I have driven by it plenty of times but never really thought to go in. Tonight that changed! It 's a hidden gem! The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. We were seated on the belony overlooking the the restaurant... the only problem would be those who have a difficult time with stairs, there are a lot of stairs in this place. While they do have seating on the main floor it is not wheelchair accessible and there is about 2 flights of stairs to get to the restroom. My boyfriend and I ordered two appetizers; crab dip and chicken wings both were very good. I ordered the... Omgosh I am going to butcher this! The spinach, mushroom and goat cheese pasta dish with rose sauce. It was fantastic and suprisingly very filling. The staff were friendly and helpful and I would recommend this place for those who are willing to pay more for a nicer meal. With my current student lifestyle I can 't say I will be going back anytime soon but if my boyfriend wants to treat me again then I will definitely say yes!

One of the best restaurants in Barrie, hands down. It was Barrie licious. We both had a Caesar salad, which was quite good. The mains were penne with chicken in an Alfredo sauce and a nice chicken dish. A nice cheesecake dessert followed. All for $25 The service was very pleasant. Food 4.5/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Price to Value 5/5 Definitely will go back!
