Today Em, Benj, the girls and I were looking for something for something to eat whilst out and about. The girls were starting to mention words like 'hungry' and 'food' at around 1 minute intervals so we decided to stop at a road side 'Boston Pizza' as we were driving around the town on Orillia.
Orillia is not far from Barrie and a small town now over run with WallMart and co and a humongous casino the size of a small village called Casinorama. I had always wanted to visit Boston Pizza as it is a hugely successful chain owned by the fabulous Jim Treliving, one of the formidable Dragons on the Canadian, Dragon's Den. I love Jim.
The restaurant was expansive and a range of different areas including a sports bar and play area for kids. I also liked the fact that there was poker on all the in-house TVs, good wholesome family fun.
The menu was actually rather good. I was not very hungry so went for a chicken salad and it was delicious. Benj thought he would give the pizza a go ( would've thought it) which was again quite good and Em shared a large Salmon pasta dish with the girls. Again all very good. The girls had fun with the various colouring options available and we watched poker and drank $2.99 pints ( can't argue with that)
All in all a very good experience at Jim's restaurant. I don't normally frequent the chains but enjoyed it and even made an effort to check out the website and even entered a competition to win a daily prize of $1000 - I will keep you all posted!
