Carthew Bay General Store

Nice place to stop for a beer. Great views of the bay. Nice and quiet. The owners and staff are very friendly and inviting. Food has always been good. A place for good vibes. Came back to update this review. No change in rating but DOG FRIENDLY SPOT TO HAVE A BEER! After a long drive it's nice to have a spot to sit for a minute with the pooch have and have a cold one. If you want some excellent food. It's right there for you as well. Cheers folks. You have a termdous spot

Pub and scoops. Omg. Awsome icecream. A bit pricey. But pay that. You will not be disappointed. Fam at the water. It's all worth it.

Average , prices were average for these days , portion sizes were adequate I got a chicken Caesar wrap , not a tonne of chicken. Might be a cool place to stop if you’re driving through or want to spend a day at the lake on the patio. Owners seemed nice enough , not sure if it’s their first time operating a restaurant but I wish them the best. Needs a few tweaks here and there.

Great Pub. Wings, burgers, Colombian style empanadas, skewers and draft Storyteller beer was really tasty. Excellent service and food. Strongly recommended and dog friendly.

Update after my second visit: wow my second experience was not great. I was ignored at the table when I arrived, no problem I figured they were busy and I went inside to place my order. After I got my food, no one checked in on my meal. I finished my meal. The server came out 3 times and served every table on the patio but mine. I went back inside to express my concerns and to place an additional order. I was told well that’s the owner… A simple sorry I missed you would have been fine but the owner just turned around and ignored my concern. If you want to ignore your customers I can spend my money elsewhere. This place was 5 stars on my first visit when the male server provided excellent customer service. 5 stars even though the food was average at best.

Good spot for a burger and a beer. Handy for boaters, but needs a bigger dock. Like most restaurants these days, they may be struggling to have enough staff at busy times.

Kawartha Dairy ice cream, generous scoop of yummy, served by a very pleasant man who seemed to enjoy his work! Sat outside and enjoyed the lake..

Great food and great service. There’s lots of outdoor seating which is awesome to have a view of Lake Simcoe.

An absolutely charming place off the beaten track with beautiful views of the lake and such lovely owners. Food was also delicious and fresh and the owners were so kind to our children. Will be coming back!

I love this spot. The service and people are amazing! This is a family diner type experience.
