Lake Simcoe Arms Restaurant

Food is good, very sad they took the garlic shrimp & rice off the menu. Service is ok it could be better. But all & all its a great place to go.

The atmosphere is lovely inside, with lots of seating for many visitors, or even larger groups. The building is a century building, with old wood flooring, fireplace, and a general ambiance that’s probably present for the past century. Very comfortable seating, and our server was delightfully friendly and good at banter with us. They have a lovely selection of dishes. Appetizer options range from cheesy garlic sticks to potato skins and calamari. There is a sandwich menu, main entrée, and specials menu. Something for everyone, really, including a few vegetarian options (veggie burger, veggie wrap, etc.)
If drinks are your goal, they have a great selection of martinis, spirits, wines, beers, and liquered coffee! I didn’t get a chance to read the drinks menu in detail, but the wine list alone took up one page of the large menu.
I did not know this place existed until my father suggested it for a birthday celebration. It really is worth the drive to Jackson’s Point (lovely scenery on the ride up).
I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a good, pub-​feel to their dining experience. Will definitely return!

Average food, average service. There are not very many good restaurants in Sutton, so this makes it an ok one to go to.

Very nice patio, came in on very hot evening 5:50pm, we were sitting inside then told one of the servers to pass it on we were moving outside because of the heat inside, things were a little mixed up but 10 minutes later we got water and order taken?? i hope the food is good, lol
I orderd the buffalo wrap, not good, fries were great, like swiss chalet, my wife’s quiche was ok she said, service was ok to be honest

We got amazing service last night!
I ordered the Fish N’ Chips. They were perfect! The fries were great, and the fish was amazing.
I ordered the Hot Chocolate as well. It looked awesome, and had whipped cream. It was the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had!
I thought because we sat in the corner the service would be bad, but it was fantastic! Our waitress was incredible!
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some good ol fashioned Pub/​comfort food.

Great patio, food and service. Highly recommend the calamari and fish and chips.

There are few places where the atmosphere is as inviting as the Lake Simcoe Arms. Pub fare at its finest. Although this visit was simply to enjoy their selection of desserts, the visit was worth the stop.
No matter what you had to eat at the Arms, be sure to leave room for the Bread Pudding. The warm cake, smothered with caramel sauce is to die for and the coffee warm and fresh. The kids enjoyed a huge piece of decadent Chocolate Loven cake drizzled with chocolate sauce — which they devoured, leaving nothing but crumbs.
My compliments do not stop with dessert, as the wait staff were accommodating and friendly. When one of the kids were being challenging, as they are at times, over their dessert, she went beyond expectation to ensure everyone was happy with their experience.
Only one word of warning — although the patio is large, it does fill up quickly on a beautiful summers day. Be sure to claim your seat early :-).

In Sutton and Jackson’s Point there aren’t many options for eateries or bars. That’s why it kills me to say that I dread the thought of eating anything at this establishment. I have ordered food a few times, and when it is not terrible, I’m surprised. A few years ago my stepdad ordered a meat sandwich (I can’t remember which meat it was), and it was undercooked (still pink). He got food poisoning that night, even though he only had two bites before sending it back. My food has always been subpar when I eat there, but it’s never really THAT bad.
The service is usually terrible. I have been on my own a few times to watch some hockey games, and when you’re sitting at the bar, the bartender is nice and often doesn’t leave your glass empty. That’s what gives this place the extra star. If you’re with a group, you’re often waiting a terribly long time for your food, and just service in general.
They have a nice patio, but you still have to deal with everything mentioned above.
It’s an alright place, but I don’t LIKE coming here. I wish there were better options nearby.

Service is an abomination. Crazy bad. We have a cottage nearby and come here regularly because it is a nice looking spot with a great patio in the middle of «downtown» Jackson’s Point. The food is ok but the service is excruciatingly slow. Just a disorganized and poorly run kitchen or not enough staff or both. So sad.

food is great. we had shrimp curry with rice and thai salad. yes, asian cuisine in a canadian resto. the creemore beer was (tasted a gf’s!) i would finish it if i wasnt driving. the service was good and efficient too. the placewas packed. and the ambience of the place was historical. i find that all lot of group of families, ladies who lunch come in. even bikers.

Service is terrible terrible terrible. Went in for lunch and sat for 20 min and no one bothered to come ask us for our order, so we left. Of course as we’re walking out the server runs over and asks where we’re going. Home for lunch I told her. Just now went back for a beer at the bar… And sat for10 min at the bar. Again no one came over to ask what we would like. I have never sat at a bar anywhere for more than 30 sec before a barkeep asks for an order.
So to summarize have been here twice now and sat inside for 30 min and I haven’t so much as have a glass of water because no one has ever ask
I will never go back and neither should you.

Spending a night in Georgina and we decided to eat out here. Friendly service and atmosphere in a charming old building. Good pub food with healthy options. Variety of beers on tap.

What’s with the super vague reviews??? This place is great. The food was amazing, there’s 2 floors (i think?). The upstairs is a cozy party room with a fireplace, small bar, loads of space and tables. Downstairs is your average bar/​pub with a huge bar, TVs, dining area, etc etc. The food is great and the service is verrry sweet. If you live around the area, I would definitely recommend reserving the party room because it’s perfect — you can either mingle with everyone or find your own cozy corner to hide in :)
There’s a park right next to the restaurant too so if you’re feeling like fresh air WHADDAYA KNOW you can just sneak out and hang out (propose?) in the neighborhood gazebo.
Prices are reasonable and pretty much comparable to any mid-​size pub-​like restaurant.
SO, if you’re around — go here. Not like you have much choice in terms of restaurants around anyway!

Lake Simcoe Arms has a couple of things going for it, mainly it is the only pub grub joint in Jackson’s Point. In fact, as of this writing you have only three other choices for lunch North of Metro Road: Lisa’s Place (so-​so all-​day breakfast), Jackson’s Place (pricey steakhouse), and Golden Dragon (pricey Chinese-​Canadian). The burgers aren’t bad; I can’t really comment on the service because it really depends. In short, this place is nothing spectacular but it’s not terrible either.

You can‘t go wrong for a decent meal served in a pub-​like atmosphere. Housed in a renovated Victorian building, the Arms offers a nice menu selection from the requisite hamburgers and fish and chips to steaks and seafood. Fast, friendly and efficient service keeps regulars coming back for more.
