The room is quite small and narrow, with room for perhaps 20-30. We sat at the bar, which I liked since we were far away from the hustle and bustle near the entrance door.
Drinks selection is very focused. There are a handful of Muskoka beers on tap including seasonal varieties. All wines are from the Niagara region. The menu is similar in its simplicity. Sometimes, less is more and I think theCG executes this well.
From my vantage point at the bar, I must say that everything that came out of the kitchen looked good! I had the fried chicken thigh sandwhich and my partner had the steak frites (a hanger steak from Cumbrae Farms). This is southern comfort food at its best! The County burger and pork tacos looked like items I would want to order next time. Portions are not big, but plentiful enough.
Service was very professional. It was a busy Friday and the staff seem so busy that there is very little time for chatter.
The County General is a great place to stop in if you want to treat yourself to a gourmet but casual meal after a stressful ride on the Queen street car, without breaking the bank. Meal for 2 with no starters, 1 drink each, was about $65.
Would definitely come back for the burger/tacos again.
