Simmering Kettle - Barrie

The soup is advertised as homemade and there was NO WAY that the soup that I ordered was homemade. It tasted like a premade soup from a can and was disgustingly salty. I am an experienced cook and you can tell when a soup is homemade. When I commented to the server that the soup was not homemade, her reply was, "I swear to God that it is." That response is disappointing. She should have just taken the soup away and said that she was sorry that I wasn't happy with it. Please don't play me for a fool. Some of the soups may be made in-house here, but the one I had certainly was not.

We went to the new location on Essa. So new it isn't on Trip Advisor yet. Came for lunch. I had a soup and Chicken Parmesan sandwich. It was excellent. Service was prompt and efficient. Decor is lovely. Food came hot and tasty. I would come back.

Whenever we're in Barrie we always head to the Simmering Kettle (previously known as the Herb N' Sage Restaurant). The wait staff are the best while the meals are made with wholesome ingredients and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!

The decor is very nice and spotlessly clean and I always have good service when I come here. I have tried a couple of other things on the menu but my favourite is breakfast. Prices are on par with other places around the the food is always hot and nicely prepared. I have been here several times and have never been disappointed, this is my go to place for breakfast in Barrie.

Met my kids for breakfast and this was their choice. Can't go wrong with a Spanish omelette and gallons of coffee. The service was fast and friendly.
