We had a great first experience at Grillicious. The server recommended some food for me (vegan) and my non-vegan friend. We both enjoyed our food and the service provided. We will be back!

Very happy to discover this restaurant just off Essa Rd. Reasonable prices and very good food. My friend had the tacos, three large, delicious chicken tacos with salsa on the side. I ordered the smoked trout sandwich which came with yummy fresh cut fries. The sandwich, on a fresh brioche bun, was so delicious I would definitely order it again.

Bulgogi beef sandwich was amazing!! They are great with kids!! The chicken sandwich was lacking flavour though, a little bland.

Hey Barrie, there is a great little gem of a restaurant in your midst! A little off the beaten path but we are glad we found it. We had some business on the SW end of Barrie, up from Alliston, so searched for a nice independent spot to eat. And behold, Grillicious! We met the co-owners Dave and Josie and heard about the ideals of the restaurant, which is essentially well prepared healthy food. Well, they hit their objective and then some. I eat pork so had the pulled pork sandwich. My wife doesn’t eat pork, so had the pulled Jack-fruit alternative . Both of us were very pleased, the BBQ sauce is pretty special. The Strawberry salad to start was very tasty, we split it, and topped off the meal with a homemade lime cheesecake and raspberry ice cream cheesecake, both well worth checking out. Grillicious is 35 minutes from home, but we will be back, it’s a drive worth taking!

Grillicious Restaurant & Wine Bar is a gem - tucked into a quiet Barrie neighborhood on Marsellus Dr. It has a contemporary, stylish décor with a welcoming, cozy feel. Deceiving in size – we recently hosted a baby shower there of about 45 people and were very comfortable. It’s family run by owners Josie & Dave - also chef and bartender - who were great to work with! Josie was so pleasant and accommodating – helping to create a made-from-scratch, delicious menu (including gluten & dairy-free options) that was within budget. Events like this come with unique requests and last minute changes – and Josie and Dave were very responsive and willing to pivot. The lunch went off without a hitch! The food was wonderful, prepared on time and served by professional, friendly staff – all helping ensure the event’s success. Unfortunately, the weather prevented use of the outdoor patio, but it would be a lovely added feature for an event. We received many compliments from guests – both about the food, service and warm atmosphere. We had checked into many options to host this party – and are so pleased with having chosen Grillicious. Thank you, Josie & Dave!

Grillicious is a culinary haven that lives up to its name, offering a delightful dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and delights the senses. During our recent visit, we were thoroughly impressed by every aspect of the meal, from the inviting ambiance to the flavorful dishes served. We got to speak to the owner's, Dave and Josie who were clearly passionate about their restaurant and it was important to them that each patron was well taken care of and thoroughly satisfied.

The background tunes complement the relaxed vibe of the restaurant, creating a pleasant atmosphere that adds to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

From succulent steaks to perfectly grilled seafood and vibrant vegetarian options, the menu offers something to satisfy every palate. What sets Grillicious apart is their commitment to authenticity—all dishes are made from scratch by Josie using traditional Filipino recipes passed down through generations. The dishes hug your soul! During our visit, we indulged in the sizzling fajitas, which were perfectly seasoned and served with all the fixings for a customizable dining experience. The chicken marsala was another standout dish, featuring tender chicken smothered in a rich and savory mushroom marsala sauce. For dessert, we savored the ice cream cheesecake, a heavenly combination of creamy cheesecake and velvety ice cream that provided the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The attention to detail and culinary expertise showcased in each dish were truly commendable, leaving us eager to return and explore more of the menu offerings. In summary, Grillicious is a must visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

I highly recommend paying a visit to Grillicious and indulging in a culinary journey that is sure to leave you craving more.

So glad to find Grillicious again! This location is very nicely decorated, nice patio, very clean. The service staff were very professional and friendly. The menu is inventive and interesting. The lumpia spring rolls are delicious. We had the garlic shrimp, which was a good portion and very tasty. The chicken marsala was fantastic and the smoked trout salad was deliciously smoky with tons of arugula and tomatoes. The finale was a fresh summer strawberry ice cream cake (how many restaurants have ice cream cake?) and it was perfect. So many other menu items we can't wait to try!

We stopped for a Sunday lunch not knowing anything about this restaurant. We were very pleasantly surprised. We had the chicken strips and smoke trout sandwich.

Honestly very upsetting! I took my family to try their breakfast. The restaurant was empty and the food took really long to get to the table. The food was bland. I ordered the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce came broken and as I mentioned it to one of the waiters they argued back at me that it was how the sauce was meant to be like but it was grainy clumpy and just not appetizing at all; tasted like an old failed reheated sauce. My family left very disappointed and dissatisfied. Will not be returning or recommending:( hope that gets fixed however for future customers.

For those who desire the true Barrie experience .here it is! Small, intimate but can seat many couples, our group of 9 were seated very comfortably. Newly opened (3 weeks in). To our amazement .we knew the Georgian Grad s that showcased incredible culinary skills to an extreme. The cheaper wines were on point but their glasses are sexy! If you re going to spend you want sexy! Now let s talk food I had the Smoked Trout sandwich . The thing was so delectable you shouldn t even call it a sandwich..you have your choice for sides but don t even second guess yourself..get the coleslaw magnificent! My friends ordered the marinated beef which we had to research, ,,,with that order we noticed no one spoke through our meal..when you are tasting nothing but delight you just want to engross yourself in the experience..Now when your finished your entree with such satisfaction..you can t stop yes yes..yes..order the RASPBERRY CAKE!!! Come On nothing better. There you have it Oh and bye the way..your welcome! Cheers.

Its a nice spot by the Harbourfront. Food was served pretty quickly too. I was surprised. The quality of food was fantastic. We ordered their Bulgogi noodles and Pulled Pork sandwich. Both were exquisite. Also, sun was out so patio was open, nice views out to the waterfront as well. I would visit again. They have some parking by the restaurant, but theres a parking lot across the street as well. Theyre free on the weekends and paid during weekdays. If you have an EV. There are about 6 Tesla Destination chargers and 2 J1772 charges across the street from the restaurant. Free charging but you have to pay for parking.

Wow, what a rare find near the old downtown Barrie by the Bay. Little hard to get to with the Dunlop St E. construction, but go through the back (Bay side). Surprisingly quaint, super friendly staff, a varied menu for both meat lovers and vegans, and some quality brews on tap. Fast service. It was a Thursday night, which we had reservations for, but not needed. Im sure the weekends are different, so dont disappoint, book ahead. On my list of revisits! Update 2022: So a little disappointed this time around. Great service but wasnt satisfied with the two noodles bowls of shrimp and beef we had ordered for our recent Mothers Day visit. Way too salty for our tastes. While we could have mentioned it to our server, whats the point if we had to have a re-serve and inconvenience of waiting while everyone else finishes their meals. Im debating whether to try a third time and make a final judgement. Not a priority at the moment. Note, Im not shy about tactfully telling the server that the meal was not to our liking, but with all of our family together, it wasnt the time or purpose to make it an issue.

Absolutely incredible staff. I came in after a 16k run in scorching heat, really in need of water. Not only did they give me a cup of water, but the gentleman working invited me to take a seat and rest, and also kept asking if I needed my cup filled more with water. They let me stay for as long as I needed! I know what you re thinking, they just gave you water, it s the bare minimum but it s about how such a small thing they did helped me, and the way in which they went about it. Letting me sit was so kind of them. If you re looking for a spot where the staff are kind and helpful this is it. I can t wait to try their food sometime soon, 10/10 for customer service, I ll definitely be recommending this place!

Great restaurant. Interesting and diverse menu. Very clean environment with a pleasant vibrant atmosphere. I took my mom for dinner there today, and enjoyed sweet potato fries, and bulgogi beef with rice noodles. The fries were the best sweet potatoes Ive ever tasted, and the beef was quite delicious, as well. Excellent friendly service, and I definitely recommend this restaurant for connoisseurs, or just people like me who like to munch on thing. Easy Five Stars

Good ingredients, well priced and thoughtful fare. But, super insistent execution. Bruschetta pizza and Greek salad is a valuable order but packaging and effort range from a 1 to a 10. In my opinion, if they tried, grillicious would be worth making a part of anyones weekly bite. * please cut the tomatoes smaller and/or separate the brushchetta from the bread and greens for delivery you have before!.* I Want to give this place 5 stars!

This place was amazing! Service was incredible. First of all when we arrived, the host was honest and said the kitchen was behind- so we knew it might take a little while for food. After getting drinks though, service was great and you wouldn t have known they were behind. Every server would smile and make sure we were ok when they passed the table. The big guy burger was delicious and my partner got the salmon. It was his birthday and they were so kind and brought out a cheesecake for him. Great place!!

First time at Grillicious and believe me, it wont be our last! With so much variety down Dunlop Street, this hidden treasure right on the corner opposite Hooters is an absolute gem. The service: Heather was our server and she was incredibly attentive, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly to our 17 month old who was with us. Even got to meet the bartender Mackenzie and the owner/chef Josie who were both awesome as well. Simply friendly service from all the girls there. The food: Chef Josie told us that absolutely everything is homemade or sourced from local suppliers using her own recipes - right down to the hamburger buns and sauces...and you can certainly taste it! Everything that came out was spectacular and so tasty. My poutine with elk sausage was one of the best poutines Ive had, the sausage was really tasty and spicy, the gravy was thick and plentiful but the fresh cut russet potato fries won the prize here. Next time, Id love to try the food of Josies home country, Indonesia, which they also serve here. The beer: It seems odd saying that somewhere has the best craft beer selection on Dunlop Street when the incredibly popular Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery is just a few doors down, but theyve managed to curate a tap list that celebrates the best of Ontario craft. Collective Arts, GLB, Lake of Bays and many more are featured on tap here and with some Amsterdam beers coming soon, Ive definitely found my Barrie watering hole. Dont do what I used to do and only get as far as Flying Monkeys when you walk down Dunlop, take a few extra steps to Grillicious and you will not be disappointed!

This restaurant is a GEM! We had a delicious lunch here today. The pulled jackfruit and bulgogi tofu sandwiches were both delicious, but so were the sweet potato fries and the spring rolls. Everything tastes so fresh - all of the food is clearly made with lots of love. Not to mention the great service and the patio that looks onto the lake. We will be regulars. This place is a must-eat for anyone in Barrie, but especially for vegetarians. Cant wait to try more next time.

Youll notice immediately how welcoming and warm the staff are. So nice to be greeted and serviced by such a wonderful group of people (girls). I had the Balgogi sandwich with the hand cut fries. GF had the Balgogi on egg noodles (Phillipino inspired). Both items highly enjoyable. If you are craving hand cut fries do not hesitate to have this as your side. Theyre that good. Appears to be some talent in the kitchen. Good craft beer selection; opted for the Canvas (Huntsville) offering. One recommendation regarding the menu, identify the location of the micro breweries and it would also be helpful to list the ABV and IBU of each.

If you havent been to Grillicious in Barrie you should run. We went there tonight to try it out based on Google review that said they had gluten free- I looked them up and their menu looked promising so we went and we will be back!!!! I had the beef rice stir fry bowl and it was AMAZING!!! Way more then I could ever eat on my own and the waitress was wonderful about me being gluten free and the owner even came to check and the restaurant was quite. My husband had the fish and chips - his was the same price as mine but not as much food but he said it was very good. Music was a little loud and we were outside. We will be back for sure

We havent been anywhere since the pandemic began, as in a sit down dinner and drinks experience so this was a big leap for us - safe to say I dont think well be doing it for a while based on our experience. First of all, the service was phenomenal. Our server was amazing and super polite, as well as the other gentleman who took our reservation was incredibly hospitable and genuine. The food was okay - incredibly salty but not bad. Just kind of an okay experience foodwise. The negative comes from the pandemic protocols. There were two gentlemen indoors with no masks on (even though the window was open, they were surrounded by four walls and its clear that it would be considered indoors). They were both contractors and would frequently break the 6ft apart rule to do their work. Alongside was what appeared to be a manager who was directing them to their work. She, too was inside with no mask on frequently and also directing them with no PPE. No contract tracing for any customers was also a letdown. All in all I had a hard time setting on a review score (ideally it would be 2.5*), however my wife and I felt incredibly uneasy the entire experience and were discouraged from start to finish. I would avoid this place if you can for now and hopefully find somewhere that respects the protocols enforced by the government.

Best restaurant in Barrie! They have a huge selection of wines and vegetarian options. In fact, they are known for their vegetarian menu. Their spring rolls are hand made unlike other restaurants that buy packaged spring rolls.
