The Chipper

First time as a tourist with family and decided to dine at The Chipper because of the reviews in their local paper from our hotel and it was on the beach. Our food was extremely greasy especially the fries which they were so famous for. I know they are busy as no other snack shack on the beach but not only that the prices were way too expensive (we should have eaten on the strip) The burger was overcooked and grease soaked bun. The ketchup bottle was left out in the sun all day and was gross so I asked for a cold one, no name ketchup. The patio was super hot and hardily any shade and the table and chairs were small, very uncomfortable, unstable and breakable. We will not return, go eat in town where it is cheaper, fresher to dine. I think they got a good review from «Georgian Life» as it is their local paper and keeps business on the beach.

A cute little place right at Sunset Point Park in Collingwood offering very friendly service and breathtaking views. This place was recommended to us by some locals on a weekend getaway from the city.
Burger — Was pretty average sized which turned out to be alright. Came with a side of fresh cut fries which were very good. 3.5÷5.
Fish & Chips — Priced at $ 12.99 (I think, if not more), you get a small side of creamy coleslaw. The fish was nice but it was quite small. One thing about it though is that although it was a pretty small size, there was a lot of fish and not too much batter which is what usually makes the size deceiving. As good as it was, I think I’d be a little hesitant to pay that much for the portion size. Price and portion aside, I’d give it 4.5÷5.
Mushroom Caps — It’s been forever since I’ve had anything this good. Took me back to my elementary school days when we used to «splurge» on the same dish at this greasy spoon in Scarborough called Papa’s Place. I’d definitely order this again. ⁵⁄₅.
Fried Pickles — Probably the best fried pickles I’ve had. I was actually already stuffed by the time I took a bite from a wedge but forced myself to have 2 whole wedges because they were just that good. What made it good? The batter. The batter itself also had dill in it which is quite standard but their batter had more flavor than all the others I’ve had. ⁵⁄₅.
There are tons of other items on their menu plus you get great views of the lake. Definitely worth checking out when you’re in Collingwood and are looking for a quick and cheap bite.

I came across this wonderful food truck the other day when my boyfriend and I decided to watch the sunset at Sunset Point Park. The location is fabulous, right in between the eco park across the street and Sunset Point Park. My boyfriend and I were feeling a bit hungry and decided to try out The Chipper. I ordered medium fries and my man got a regular burger, The kind lady at the truck advised us to wait and our order would be called shortly. I knew right away that this meant fresh food, yum! The service was quick and friendly, the fries, oh the fries, you HAVE to have the fries when you come. On the side of the truck it says «best fries in the Georgian bay. perhaps the universe» and I can vouch for that personally. they are hot, fresh and jam packed into their container. With minimum grease, these are easily some of the best french fries I have ever had.
My boyfriend’s burger was also delicious, I had one bite and I instantly noticed that there is a little extra something added to the beef patty that makes the burger different. I am still unsure of what it was but it was really tasty.
The food truck itself is clean but only accepts cash, be prepared.
I also enjoyed The Chipper because of their condiments, or rather the presentation of the condiments. The salt was in a shaker but the vinegar was in a spray bottle, which is such a great idea for those of us who like a little bit of vinegar all over our fries.
The Chipper is a great place to grab a quick snack or even a meal as they offer combos of burgers and fries, poutine and even healthier options such as grilled chicken.
