   We have visited the downtown toronto location many times, and last night was our first visit to the barrie location. The service was good, but the food was not at all as good as toronto location. We had to send our steak back as it was rare, unseasoned and very bland. We ordered a medium rare but it was raw on the inside. The salmon dish was supposed to come with a yogurt sauce, but it arrived unseasoned, and no sauce with it, with basic beans on the plate. I’m surprised the quality was not as good, but I hope this feedback helps for future as we would like to continue visiting this location, but not if the food stays the way it is. More attention to the quality of food is needed here, and the seasoning and plate presentation. Everything was bland. Thanks

   My husband and I haven’t been out on a date night since before Covid - we decided to get out for a bit last night and we had a blast. Our waitress Theresa was absolutely wonderful - The meal was great - drinks were cold and the service all around was amazing. Thanks The Rec Room for a fantastic night out!!!

   It’s a fun place to check out, but I will not eat here again. Four of us went for dinner and no one enjoyed their food. We did enjoy the games, but unless you are really into gaming or you are young or have kids it’s not somewhere you would go twice. The staff were extremely friendly though, and with the exception of the dinner it was an enjoyable experience.

   We went and had dinner, the chicken I was served was beyond raw,it was missing feathers. The manger was appalled and very professional, completely compensated the meal. This still doesn’t correct several hours of being physically ill. I wouldn’t recommend at all.

    Fish tacos weren’t good, had to send back. But I ordered the wings instead and they took the fish tacos off my bill without me asking, which was great. Took a long time to have the waitress come to our table. But she was great otherwise.

    Dishes were small compared to the price. (Small portions big prices). Missing de of the finishing touches on a few of the dishes. Volume was moderate but dining area was empty. Staff seemed annoyed that we wanted to switch tables and only 1 or 2 tables we being used.

    The dinner was absolutely fantastic, a live band came out halfway through our meal which was a hit with the adults and children at our table. The service was friendly, accurate, and our server went above and beyond to make sure our meal it was a good experience. She made sure but the kids were involved by talking to them and repeatedly wishing her child a happy birthday which made her feel special. Food was absolutely delicious, and highly recommend this place

    Food was blah, no taste and when I asked for Parmession cheese for my pasta dish I was surprised they didn't have any. Our waitress did not attend to us as needed we had to ask other wait staff to find her for us and asked other wait staff for items

    Cool environment for families and friends. Service was good. Still working out the kinks as they’ve just opened. Meals ordered were ribs, Mac n cheese, salad bowl and ABC burger. All good for the most part. It’s worth the trip to see. Second and third trips made when options are limited.

    Wasn't a fan of the food. The nachos were super spicey and wasn't told this. Didn't eat them so wasted $20 which is kind of messed up because it was supposed to be an app and cost more then my main meal. The chicken club I had wasn't the greatest. The server was lovely tho and the arcade portion was great :) had a good time thank you !

    I was excited to go to the Rec room. I was taking my husband for date night. Initially we were seated fast and our order taken immediately. It took 30 min to get appetizers and then my calamari had a long hair through it. The server apologized and took it off the bill but charged me for a replacement which is ridiculous. The artichoke dip dish comes with tortillas chips and baked pitas with a very small amount of dip..the ratio was stupid and same with the calamari…the spicy mayo wasn’t enough and I had to wait 15 minutes for more. From the time we got our appetizers, it took an hour for our mains and by that time we were no longer hungry and asked for it to go. We were brought a container and my husband asked for a debt machine…the server moved at a snails pace and it took her another 15min for the machine which she got it ready and walked away. I left zero tip and I wanted to tell her why but she never came back so after 15 more minutes, we just left. I have never left a zero tip before ever as I’m a professional chef and this is my industry, but I hope I did her and the establishment a favour by simply helping them recognize that not everyone is cut out for this industry or at the very least her realizing that good money/tips come with great, hard working, dedicate customer oriented workers! My main was fish tacos…I ate one which had very little fish…it was full of coleslaw/cabbage and had a mango salsa which was ok…the mango was mushy though. My husband had a spicy chicken burger which her said tasted good but was a little dry. Anyhow, I would have loved to play some games with my husband but after the couple hours we spent there already, we just wanted to go home and left.

    Service was very slow right from the start. We waited 35 minutes before a waiter greeted us. Took way too long to get our app. People seated after us were served much quicker. Took much longer than needed.

    Mac and cheese was delicious, rainbow salad was good, but the fish tacos were a little disappointing. I was hoping they would be a bit more flavourful. I would certainly dine at the rec room again, but wouldn’t have the fish tacos again.

    Great staff! Only issue this time was our server seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables and because of that there was delays in us getting our food. Half the table had their meals and the last 2 that came out were only warm as they were sitting in the ready window for a good few mins. We will return but unknown if we will eat there or just come to play. Also many games were out of service and there didn’t seem to be many staff on the floor to fix/help customers.

    The food was very good but the ribs I had. We’re quite cold and not very flavourful. The apps were very good. Service was very slow, watched our beers get poured and waited 15min for them to leave the bar to our table. After we prompted.

    Walked into the rec room and I cheerfully greeted the hostess who rudely just pointed at a form to fill out instead of greeting us. Hostess/ greeter not able to answer simple questions if pool table on site, just kept pointing to restaurant for us to get seated. Service at the restaurant was awful. 45mins before order taken, while maybe 5 tables total seated ; (Objectively not busy) mixed drink tasted awful. Food overpriced and not worth anywhere close to the price. Multiple staff up to our table with wrong orders, also they were unsure of which of us (2 people) ordered what. Asked for a side of sauce that was delivered after food eaten. Multiple staff standing around empty tables avoiding eye contact while customers waiting for service. Will not recommend and will not return. Not a good experience after many months of looking forward to a safe night I out.

    I guess overall, the food was good, value ???, The service wasn't very good, the girl was new and really didn't know to much about the menu or the specials. We got ripped off for our scene points, she said she put them through however nothing has shown up as I write this. We had to tell her what was on her web page. It was a group of four adults and I think we will give it sometime before we go back. Maybe the staff will be trained by then. A little disappointed.

    Music was way too loud, we even moved out to the patio to escape some of it but it was just as loud. I attempted calling multiple times throughout the day earlier to book or see how long wait times were and no one was answering phones. The staff was wonderful and the games were fun but logistics were poor
