Fresh a Fare - Barrie, Ontario

First off they have the old bank hours from the ’70s, M-F 10:30 am to 4 pm. Unless I am holiday not going to make the place. Anyhow got off work early and decided to give them a try and decide to grab a take out order. The menu board ... is very confusing. Even with excellent help from the girl at the counter couldn't figure out how much everything cost or what they had. Wind up with a Rueben sandwich and Cheeseburger soup for $20 for lunch. ​ The Rueben had Swiss cheese, corn beef, Sauerkraut and mustard on rye. They forgot the pickle and very thin on the corned beef, otherwise a very tasty sandwich but not worth $11. As for the Cheeseburger soup, it comes with dice lettuce and tomato on the side and two mini buns. It’s extremely thick with only ground beef in it. The soup basically tastes like Hamburger Helper in a soup format for $7. Read more

Just about the best salad I've ever had, this rivals 30$ salads at fine dining restaurants. Everything is so fresh and tasty, it's perfect. I wish there was one in Toronto where I live.

Fresh-A-Fare is one of my favourite places to go for a wholesome healthy lunch. Their soups and sandwiches always taste fresh, and are made with care! Their service is also very quick and friendly. One menu item that you must absolutely try is their carrot cake which is definitely the ... best in the area. Have also had their food catered to work meetings and it arrives full of flavour and in large portions! Definitely a hidden gem in the City of Barrie that is worth checking out. Read more

Absolutely stunning food and service. Top quality, fresh, delicious food plated with the utmost care. The staff truly enjoy their jobs, and it shows. Real smiles and real food. When I have time for lunch, I only go to Fresh-A-Fare now.

The smoked salmon and egg sandwich was alright, it would've been much better if the bread was toasted. I also had the cheeseburger soup and it wasn't that special, kind of under seasoned.
