This is your average, side of the road diner, with a pretty good menu and some nice, historical decor.

Our family went in for dinner tonight (Monday) and there were only 3 tables occupied.The menu looked not bad and the reviews were good.Our waiter should consider a new profession.He looked like he didn't really care and his performance was no different.The meals were to say the least, very disappointing.My 2 piece Fish and Chips looked like a Kids portion for $19.00.The Pickerel dinner for $28.00 was full of bones.The Burgers weren't bad, but for $18.00 we expected real Blue Cheese not a dressing.Even the Ketchup was watery!All in all when 5 adults say they were disappointed with their meals it must have some merit.Bottom line, disappointing meals, high prices and lack lustre service mean we will not be returning.Hi Jim,We apologize you had an unhappy experienceWe do urge you in the future when you visit restaurants if you unhappy with anything that you receive to let the management know at the time so we can fix the situation and not have disappointed customers Your waiter was not a professional and is going back to his university studies in the fall, he and most of the other staff are serving for the first time this season and were trained by us in the spring. It is almost impossible for us to get experienced staff that want to live on an island beside their workplace for a 4 month season so we hire decent young people each spring and train them ourselves (which is expensive). We are also at mercy of their moods and unfortunately cannot force them to be happy and cheerful all the time. Overall they are a great group of kids that are doing their best at a summer job, they are not professionals. Our restaurant does have a very good reputation as you can see from the majority of the reviews and we stand behind our products and menu, of course things don't always go perfectly but we try very hard. Our hand battered fish and chips is a good size portion and has been one of our signature menu items for 18 years. We would have been happy to 'top up' your plate at the time if you had asked. Unfortunately we do not do anything with the deboning of the Pickerel, it comes individually quick frozen, comes out of the box, is defrosted and goes into the frying pan. They are filleted by machine and unfortunately some of them do have bones. Again, if you had mentioned at the time we could have replaced the fish or taken it off the bill. The blue cheese sauce that you mentioned as 'not real' on our burgers is actually handmade on site from real blue cheese, we combine it with real cream to produce a sauce. The ketchup...strange comment...is refilled from a Heinz dispenser. If it sits it sometimes forms a thin watery layer on top but this is a very small amount with normal ketchup right behind it. About our prices, we will remind you that we are on an island, everything that we receive must be picked up by boat from the mainland and unloaded on the island. As well all of our garbage must be taken off the island by boat unlike restaurants on land that have a truck pull up to the back door. All of this adds extra cost but we try and keep our prices in line with restaurants in town. Wellingtons pub and grill in downtown Parry Sound currently has pickerel at $26 (check their menu online). You came by boat, sat on a patio over the water, watched the boats go by and paid $2 more than in town! I notice that in another review you complained about the prices at Henry's restaurant which is also on an island about 15 minutes from us. You may be interested to know that they closed their doors permanently in July because of the difficulties in keeping staff on an island restaurant. They had been running for about 40 years. We again apologize that you were happy with your experience, we invite you to revisit the establishment, make yourself known to us and we will do out utmost to make it a pleasurable experience. I urge you to again read our reviews from the season. Thanks,Matt, Natalie and Andrew Overend Owners

This is an outdoor dining room. The menu is limited but the food is very good. They prepare everything on site from fresh ingredients. They have a good beer & drinks selection. The wine selection is almost non-existent. The service was adequate. If you go during dark, there are bugs. Hi,We had some issues with your server and that's been dealt with. We actually have a pretty extensive wine selection and a sommelier on staff. Come again and we'll make it right. Sorry about the bugs but at least there are less and less as the season moves on.Thanks!

Open Mid-May to Mid-October. Georgian Bay Airways is a long standing air tour sightseeing business, and the Flight Deck Grill is Parry Sound's newest waterfront restaurant. Come by car, boat or plane, 7 dock slips available for customers to use.

Stopped in for lunch on a Fri afternoon while visiting a relative in PS. The place was packed. A limited and slightly pricey menu but food was good and the fries were great! We had blackened chicken caesar salad, pickerel sandwich (without bun) $18.95 and halibut and fries $17.95.Friendly service. Nice views of the lake. Outside waterside seating. All make for a nice option for dining while in PS. They are planning on remaining open until Thanksgiving and possibly until Christmas, "playing it by ear" before closing for the winter so make sure to call ahead before you go.

My husband and I boated in to Parry Sound for the weekend and made a reservation here for dinner one evening. We shared a bottle of the house red, which was better than we expected. I ordered the Beet Salad to share with hubby and we both thoroughly enjoyed it, although it needed a touch of salt in our opinion. For our entree's I ordered the gnocchi with a rich gorgonzola sauce and walnuts. The dish was amazing, however, the walnuts overtook the dish as there were WAY too many for me to eat. I left my plate empty of gnocchi but still have full of walnuts! My husband ordered the seafood pesto pasta and was really inpressed by the flavour, texture, and variety of seafood. This is a restaurant we would definitely recommend and would go back to in the future. Hopefully our suggestions will be noted.Thank you very much for your review, we appreciate your feedback. The issue with the walnuts has been addressed with our kitchen staff and while the pairing is quite nice, you are correct, there needs to be the right amount of balance.Best regards,Carlo & Jane

We had been camping over at Killbear and decided to check out Gilly's because it was very close. We are very glad we did. The pickerel that was pan fried was absolutely mouth watering. My husband had the breaded white fish and it was delicious as well. The tartar sauce is the best we've had and tasty fries. The lunch menu was very large and filling for our dinner. Super friendly waitress as well.

We will visit again if we are out this way. The staff is very friendly and answer questions and take care of you without any hesitation. It was clean and we didn't have that long of a wait even though the place was pretty packed.

The food is great, big portions and reasonably priced. There is free parking in front. Very friendly service and suitable for a big family gathering. This place is a great alternative to the bay area restaurants, although no waterfront view..

We stopped here for lunch enroute to Sudbury. What a find!!!! The atmosphere was elegant/cozy and the food was outstanding. Best (and most creative) caesar salad I have ever had! Their soups were also incredible - and the service was fast, efficient and friendly. Although we live almost 3 hours away, we will definitely make a separate trip to come here for dinner and stay overnight!
