Excellent food. The menu is very extensive so you wonder how can it all be good? While I haven’t had everything on the menu what I have ordered anytime I go is excellent. A very friendly, homey and relaxing atmosphere. This is local at its best. Not high tech or fancy just really really good!!! Daily specials always good, soups, eggs Benedict if you’re there for Sunday brunch. You can’t go wrong! Local, local,local!!

Tonight was our first visit to the Iron Skillet.. I could not believe the warm feeling from the moment we walked in the door right up to the moment we left.. Our waiter was so very attentive and wanted to be sure we had everything that we needed. The food .. Well I am not too sure what to say about that.. I have been in the Food Service Industry for 40yrs and it was by far the best food I have eaten in a very long time.. You had better be real hungry because the serving sizes are huge.. The food was hot and very pleasing to the taste buds.. We will return to the Iron Skillet in Collingwood and will recommend it to everyone I know. Hats off to you.. Keep up the great work..

Had to travel to Collingwood on thanksgiving !!! Once the tour was over, we were looking for a restaurant offering brunch / lunch , came across The Iron Skillet, they were open at 11 am … the restaurant is well put together, has a cozy atmosphere and the staff were welcoming and friendly with big smiles . We were given a detailed description of the specials and we chose the Iron Skillet breakfast & Lunch Mexican Perogies. Both dishes were prepared well, flavourful and with a homemade touch. A definite visit when in Collingwood !

I'd like to give this place a higher review because it's a local restaurant and I can tell they put a lot of love into their food. However on this night in particular, they definitely did not have enough staff there to meet the large number of people there. When we arrived at 8pm, it seemed like the dinner rush had cleared out so we got seated immediately. We ordered 8 entrees and chatted while we waited for our food. A good portion of our group was famished because they had been skiing all day, so we were really looking forward to this meal. After 20 minutes of waiting, the waitress told our group that we should expect a longer than expected wait for our food since their kitchen was backed up. I feel like this could've been said when we walked in - I don't think any groups arrived after ours. Some ladies in the table next to ours heard this and told us that they had been waiting 2 hours for their food! Now that's just crazy. I totally understand restaurants being understaffed in this hard time but we would have happily eaten somewhere else and relieved the pressure on their kitchen if they had informed us before we sat down. We ended up getting our food approximately 1 hour after we ordered which was not as bad as it could have been, but also by no means a normal or acceptable time to wait for food at a restaurant. Now the food itself was good. I ordered a skillet burger, and our group ordered quite a few schnitzels which was recommended to us. The portions were huge and great value compared to the sizes you get in the Blue Mountain village. The burger wasn't the best burger I've ever had but it was yummy. The seafood schnitzel was tender but I wished the sauce had a bit more seafood in it. As pictured, it was mainly sauce. But the taste was good. One of my friends got the prime rib and it was humongous, as pictured. I should've tried that! Overall I'm understanding that this is a small business and there are limited resources to go around. But there are a lot of restaurants in the area and if you're in a rush, this may not be a good option for you.

There supposed to be known for there steaks. Went and ordered a medium steak. It came raw. Had to flag down a server to send it back came still raw... the steak went back 3 times. It was not just a little too pick it was raw in the middle...blue. By the time that the steak was finally cooked. My companion had finished eating and I had eaten most of my fries so was not really hungry. The server said the steak was ..thick so they could not judge its temp. I would not recommend at all. Our server never once apologized...no discount.

Flavours were a bit off. Too much pepper in the French onion soup but otherwise ok, fish and chips batter was too thick and salty. Yorkie beef was tough and the Yorkie too dense. Fries were good. Gravy was good. 2 people 90 bucks for 2 plates and 2 French onion soups. More expensive then I thought it would be based on Google reviews. It was ok.

Wonderful and warm, well definitely be going back. The food was delicious and featured a lot of little touches commonly overlooked, like hand-breaded fillets, or iced tea made from actual tea.

November 21, 2024

I don t know where yall are reviewing but this place sucks. The food was terrible, dry, and lacked any kind of flavour. I know I m from Barrie but Collingwood if this is your best place to eat, please expand your horizons. My three tier sandwich was dry and bland. My friends bowl was the blandest rice bowl I ve ever seen. The deep fried pickles where an entire pickle beer batter fried which lead to uneven cook. My friend and I had to eat elsewhere because we were still hungry. I ve never been THIS dissatisfied at a restaurant. Wouldn t come back. Dunno what the food network was on when they ate here.

I have lived in this town for over 9 years and I have never been to the iron skillet. Dont ask me why this is now a very big regret because this place is amazing. I had something called the redneck burger and let me tell you it was so good. My waitress was quite lovely. The place was so clean, highly recommended

I heard such good things but our meal was not good. Its dingy and dark in the restaurant. I got jerk chicken, and it was a dry coleslaw with a breaded chicken finger and a few drops of some sweet sauce. Not even an attempt to make it something. Very overpriced for the quality of the meals.

★★
October 21, 2024

Hadn t eaten here since the restaurant moved and I had friends coming in from out of town who wanted to eat somewhere different, to have a good steak. The service was friendly and food came out in a timely manner but none of us enjoyed our meals. Steak was tough, and chewy, mashed potatoes were dry and the vegetables were few and limp. Not at all what I remembered this restaurant to be like in the past. Also, having to watch a gross crime scene documentary while we were trying to eat was inappropriate. I am afraid I won t be back nor will I be recommending this restaurant to out of town friends.

My wife and I decided to try this place after the food networks show You gotta eat here aired a program at their restaurant. The place is small, but it has a very family like atmosphere. My wife had the Yorkshire Pudding, and I had the Shrimp and Chicken Jambalaya both dishes were so delicious. For drinks we had real brewed Ice Tea. For dessert I shared a piece of carrot cake with my wife. If were in the area again we would go there again.

Had the prime rib special. Yorkshire puddings are huge, and very well done and the baked potato was just right! Lost a star on the atmosphere for 2 reasons: it was a little on the chilly side in there, and the chairs/bench seating is awful. It was hard and very uncomfortable . Having said that, if were back in the area at meal time, we will likely stop in again.

After the 2 hosts seated us it was approximately 20 minutes before one returned to see what we wanted to drink then we ordered our meals and drinks then probably 15 minutes to get our drinks then it was an hour to receive our meal we actually stood up we were about to leave when our meal arrived itvwas an hour and 45 minutes to an hour 50 to be served and hosts never returned to ask us how was our meals do we need anything . Its a small place and was only a little busy by the time we received our drinks meal and cheque it was 3 hours for mediocre food we though it would be good cause it was on you gotta eat here bt judging by the hosts incompetence must be new owner cause you dont wanna eat here we wont return to that restaurant Parking: Parking is free best attribute of the place at least you dont have to pay park to get garbage service and crap food

Was looking for somewhere else to eat other than where we were staying at blue mountain. After checking the reviews decided to try the Iron Skillet and were so glad we did. Jennifer our server was so welcoming and fun to be around. Her recommendations of the carbonara pasta and seafood crepes were spot on and delicious. Ken, who also served us, was charming, helpful and polite. Thanks for a great experience on our last night in town. Until we meet again. Your friends from Chatham ON Don&Lori M.

It was quite busy so my review is based on hoping it s a one off and maybe they were understaffed and just unusually busy. It took 35 min to get our drinks and just under two hours to completely finish our meal. I had the stuffed Yorkshire pudding which was very yummy. The sangria pitcher was wildly expensive, I ve never known one to be $42, it was yummy but very pricy. I drank a Caesar and it was delicious.

Came for breakfast. Food was good BUT STAFF WAS OUT OF CONTROL! Shouting, swearing and screaming from the kitchen could be heard throughout the restaurant. Proceed with caution, especially if with small children. I edited this review down from a 2 start to a 1 because 8 years ago I still remember it as one of the worst dining experiences of my life.

Went in for lunch table of seven at 12 o clock had the number one breakfast two eggs, bacon, home fries toast. Was extremely disappointed and upset and had to sit there with a smile on my face while everyone else enjoyed their meal mine was not enjoyable at all. I got four pieces of bacon that were burnt and could not be eaten with a fork. My home prize was about two mouthful of the bottom of the barrel burnt leftover crap the toast could ve been better. And the eggs were great. Cost me $25 for that couldn t have been more upset never again.

We really love the food here. We really do. It s often quiet which is a nice atmosphere compared to other restaurants that are loud and over packed. BUT the would love to see more vegetables in the dishes. Got the chicken teriyaki rice bowl and it was amazing with the Collingwood olive oil dressing added (it s on the table) But so much rice. Would have loved more of the veggies. And way more Bok choy! Make It more authentic and more stir fry please. It seemed more steamed then stir fried. This could be a top dish if just done a bit better. More veggies would justify the 25.99 price. Would also like to see the chicken schnitzel be offered in a white meat option (would pay extra) Not everyone likes dark meat.

Mothers Day treat and was very disappointed. Went in around 6pm for dinner with my teen for mothers day. Ordered virgin daiquiri and water, daiquiri glass was soooo sticky with the sugar rim that had dripped down the glass, order two specials Shrimp and Lobster Carbonara with a side caesar salad and the Steak and Shrimp (ordered rare steak). Salad arrived to table about 30mins after ordering everything. Another 10min wait for the rest of the food to arrive after the salad was done. When the food arrived the shrimp and lobster carbonara had about 5 shrimp in it and a little bit of lobster (all seafood was over cooked because they were rubbery while eating it). I cut into my rare steak only to find it cooked medium well at best...it was barely pink inside. Also had to ask for him to refill our water cups. While eating the potatoes and veg on my plate while waiting for the new steak, the vegetables were all over cooked and buried by the large serving of potatoes and the potatoes were partially on top of the red cabbage giving the potatoes the weird flavouring from the red cabbage. Brought up the issue with the server about my steak being over cooked and he starts using excuses from its mothers day, its been busy all day, theres others tables in the restaurant, etc.... It shouldnt take over 30mins for two simple dishes like this to be cooked even in a busy restaurant, and come out over cooked on both dishes. I asked him to take just the steak back to kitchen to have it remade as rare and he was going to take my entire plate of food back after waiting that long for my meal so I suggested he bring a plate to take the steak back on so I could at least eat while it was being remade. The then just kept apologizing and making excuses each time he came to the table. Yes he offered discount by manager on meal, but did not need to continue apologizing and making excuses. It had been many years since being to The Iron Skillet because of issues like this on other visits to the restaurant (not on special occasions).

We went to eat dinner at the Iron Skillet (Collingwood) for the first time last night. I noticed that the portions are huge, so we just ordered one dinner to share. The chicken in the enchiladas was dry and rockhard, the whole dinner was barely warm, and it seemed like the rice was made very early on in the day and was almost cold. Because we were sharing, I paid attention to the fact that the menu said there were four enchiladas, but in the end they only served us three. The sauce for the bread pudding was OK, not great, but it seemed like a vanilla sauce. The bread pudding was rockhard, cold in the middle and barely edible. The coffee had a weird taste, and was very watery. All of it just tasted like it was made days ago but I am not in the kitchen, so I cannot verify that, it just tasted stale. We will never be going back there. It just did not have the quality we were expecting and it was a total waste of money. On top of that, we both had a bit of an upset stomach for the rest of the evening.

The food here is at a standard price, but tastes great and comes in large portions! Was definitely surprised by the quality and quantity of the food. The waiter was also very attentive. We ordered the chicken parmesan (added bacon and mushrooms), redneck burger (with mushrooms), 12 oz steak, seafood pasta, and 1 lb chicken wings - all tasted great and would recommend. Parking: Large parking lot with plenty of spaces.

DELICIOUS food! Seafood crepes are a sooo good. Also love the chicken parm, Yorkshire pudding, and schnitzel. Vibe is very homey and cozy, perfect for families. Would 10/10 recommend.

Im surprised at all the high ratings for this restaurant. Ive always found this place to be overpriced and the food quality to be mediocre. Weve eaten here many times over the years - usually as a matter of convenience when the kids were young. Recently we had dinner here with friends. The beef in the stuffed Yorkshire pudding was tough. The schnitzel was thin and dry, as was the liver and onions. The service was good. We wont be back. Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: Not the best value for your money if you have children. Wheelchair accessibility: No problem for accessibility

Food was great, great portions. However, I think they got overwhelmed with the amount of ppl there were two hockey teams, that they knew about in advance and could not handle the numbers. We waited over an hour to get food.

I wanted to try this place since I moved in to Collingwood. Patio is really cool, it has the beach vibe you need during summer. Service is courteous, friendly and attentive. In order the trout from the patiolicious menu. They brought me a different plate, in the menu says trout cover with coconut and tomato sauce with rice, as you can see in the picture no tomato nor rice. However it was good; the mashed potato was really tasty and the trout was perfect. As appetizer, we ordered the deep fried pickles a little salty. Overall a good experience and will be back any time soon

Wonderful restaurant with really good food and even better service. I would like to make an additional note because we had initially gone to another restaurant with our young children. We were blatantly turned away because of the colour of our skin. We came here and were treated with kindness and respect. The food was delicious, the service was great. All the ladies made our families and our kids feel comfortable. We were a group of 8! I would like to thank the staff for being so kind to us following a particularly disturbing incident. I am glad we ended up at the Iron Skillet and we will definitely be returning. Highly recommend this place.

Went there and sat for 30 minutes before we asked if they were short staffed. They were. The server finally came and advised they were out of steak and Prime rib... On prime rib night. I told the nice server to let the manager know that not advising patrons about the situation when they walk in is a disgrace. Wont be going back.

The size portion is massive! It could feed a family of 4 it was topped of with house made sauce and complimented eat bite. The table top hot sauce is house made as well, and added a flavour hot bite. This is a must visit place when youre in collingwood! Ps - the portions are so big youre definitely having left overs for later

Very dissatisfied with both the food ( less than mediocre)and service( rude) . We will not come back.

December 21, 2023

Extremely disappointed, considering this restaurant has 4.2 stars on Google and 3.8 on yelp. My family and I are not from collingwood and decided to grab lunch at a local restaurant. Beyond disappointing. Our waitress was in some sort of bad mood and treated us with a sassy attitude throughout the service. We ordered the chicken parmesan, weiner schnitzel and the naked burger. The chicken parm was bland, dry and the tomato sauce tasted like tomato paste mixed with water. The cheese was barely melted and had to force myself to take multiple bites. As for the weiner schnitzel, the meat itself wasnt all that bad. However, the potatoes were cold and the corn felt like they took it out of the fridge and placed it straight on the plate. The burger was way over done (meat was black) and left a very unpleasant burnt taste in the mouth. The fries were soggy, not crispy. The coleslaw had an odd taste, it was most likely old. Even the drinks werent great. We ordered the feature beer of the month (on tap) and happened to get dab beer. The beer was extremely flat, and felt like it was the bottom of a keg. Quite literally tasted like they mixed the beer with water. Awful, what a disgrace to the beer industry. How the hell do you mess up beer? The 7up had a chlorine aftertaste. I was really expecting a great, local restaurant with friendly staff. We got the totally opposite experience. I really wish I could rank this restaurant high. We couldnt even finish our plates because the portions are ginormous. We felt sick afterwards. I would advise to try the other restaurants in collingwood. Even if you are desperate, the closest fast food place probably provides higher quality dishes. Please do better.

On a very hot day, we had no option but to sit inside. Many fruit flies detracted from the ambience and the washroom could use a major update. Deep fried pickle appetizer was good, but pricey. Friday steak special was decent although the sides were minimal (like when you can count the fries). Beer selection was ok, but could be improved with more local selections. Server was earnest and tried hard.

★★
December 21, 2023

Service was good, but experience ruined by fruit flies, the source of which was garbage being stored near the bathrooms. Ordered Garlic bread with cheese but cheese was barely melted and not caramelized whatsoever. For the main, corn was cold, mashed potatoes were thin and soupy (maybe this is just preference). Overall pretty underwhelming experience for what it cost

First time at the Collingwood location for lunch with out of town guests. The French Onion soup was too salty and topped with a too thick rye-type bread. One meal was slightly undercooked and tasted old. The other meals were good. The fries were underwhelming. Our wait staff was amazing. Wont be back.

Unfortunately, just had a first bad experience here at Iron Skillet in Collingwood. Have visited here on numerous occasions and had no issues. Today we come in, ask to sit outside at the side of the building for a water view.. We were sat, given our menus and waited for 10-15 minutes. No staff acknowledged us, no waters brought out, nothing. So as a result, we got up and left, still with no staff acknowledgement. Quite disappointed with the lack of service as 2 staff saw us, looked at us and continued to walk inside the side door. It did not seem busy as only 2 other couples were sitting on the patio and when we initially went inside tables werent full. Definitely going to be reconsidering visiting again when Im looking for a local breakfast joint..

My family came to Collingwood from Ottawa to see the fall colours at Blue Mountain, and we heard this place was a must-visit for food. We had many recommendations from fellow Koreans, and we were not disappointed. My husband, who loves seafood, ordered the seafood schnitzel, and he said it was the best choice. I chose the fish and chips, and it was delicious too. Even our kids enjoyed their meals. Our server, who took care of our table, was incredibly friendly and attentive, constantly checking if everything was okay. If we ever come back to this area, we will definitely visit this restaurant again.

Dropped in for lunch Oct 30 2023. Server was very informative explaining the menu, helping me to choose the pickeral with a light sauce. Excellent food arrived promptly, nice and hot and ample for two meals. Service attention quick but discrete and not intrusive. Food was priced fairly. The wall decor shows a lot of the history of Collingwood. Ive been an Iron Skillet patron since Tony opened his first restaurant on Hume Street in the early 90s. Have never has a bad meal or experience. Very professional operation. Wish you many more happy years, Tony! Parking: Right out front, lots of space mid-day, mid-week.

I absolutely love The Iron Skillet Collingwood location! I remember coming here for the first time with my family (about four of us) and I think we all had modifications to our order. Our server, Huzefa, was absolutely incredible from his friendly, professional manner to his knowledge, and memory, I was amazed! I returned with my boyfriend for fries and mojitos. Luckily, we had Huzefa as our server! Of course, our experience was nothing less than incredible! We started coming regularly, and Huzefa always made us feel special he knew right away what we would order. His outstanding, genuine, customer service has been a big part of our experience at this restaurant, and keeps us coming back. We have made Collingwoods Iron Skillet officially our spot and we cannot thank and recommend this restaurant enough! Best mojitos, best food, best gluten-free options, best wait times, best prices, best atmosphere and most of all, best customer service! If you havent had at least a mojito here, and you havent had either Huzefa or Ken as your server, you are truly missing out on an unparalleled dining experience! Huzefa, Ken, thank you so much for making us feel so special every single time! The Iron Skillet is very fortunate to have you both! Were hoping on bringing our friends and family here as well as celebrating all our anniversaries and special moments here! Shout-out to Shawn in the back-of-house too! The food never disappoints! We give five Michelin stars (even though three is the most a restaurant can earn)! See you all very soon! Dietary restrictions: My favourite dishes are the Teriyaki Stir-Fry, Naked Burger on a gluten-free bun, and Fish of the Day! Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available as well! Parking: Lots of available parking! Restaurant is next to Sobeys in Collingwood and has an outdoor patio that even offers shade in the summer.
