Friend's Diner is a Laclie Street breakfast-and-lunch room built around full breakfast plates, pancakes, Eggs Benedict, familiar handhelds, and takeout. The handoff to Brittany Bezemer and Cecilia Butler kept the regulars-first diner feel while tying the place closely to Orillia community life.

Theo's Eatery is a family-owned Orillia dining room with a long Italian-Greek comfort menu, takeout and delivery, and a Tselikis family history in local restaurants. Chicken Parmigiana, Five Cheese Crab Dip, and Baked Lasagna are the safest first-pass orders.

Waterfront bar-and-grill energy with wings, nachos, burgers, daily features, and a large summer patio.

George's is an old-fashioned Orillia breakfast-and-lunch diner built around eggs, omelettes, peameal plates, Eggs Benedict, and big comfort breakfasts. The appeal is practical and local: familiar daytime food, family-owned character, takeout options, and a room that suits regulars more than destination dining.
