Reviews for Skeeter Barlow's Forest in Forest, ON
Got a take out full rack of ribs and fries with vegetable of the day. Vegetable was a baked wedge of squash and the ribs so dry... I couldn't eat them. A small palm sized pile of fries.They offered to replace the meal but I declined as I would have to go backout after a 12 hr work day. Read more

After reading mostly positive reviews, we decided to try Skeeter?s out. The food was sub-par at best. The batter for the fish... and chips were soggy and the mushroom caps were extremely salty. The kids? meals were supposed to come with dessert (cupcakes),but after paying the bill, we were not offered or told about the dessert. Once asked the waitress after our goodbyes, she toldus that due to unknown allergies children may or may not have, they do not bring them out to the children. Perhaps asking theparents would be a good option as opposed to opting not to mention it at all? We got them when asked, but they were not good ?dry, run-of-the-mill grocery mini cupcakes that lacked any flavour. The washrooms were terrible - very dirty. It wasn?textremely busy when we were there, so there shouldn?t be any excuse for the state that they were in. Our toddler refused to useit! All and all, we will not be dining here again. Read more
I got a burger with French frys..and when I got it the hamburger was burned it tasted horrible and the bun was so soggy and... greasy everything was falling apart. There were about half of the amount of frys you usually get and they were over cooked aswell. Very unsatisfied and for $15+ for a burger. Food has been poor in the past but thought I'd give them a second chance butI'm not spending anymore money here. Read more
We received dirty glasses for the kids, Pepsi tasted like the syrup needed changing. Poutine came out with hard gravy chunks on... it, chicken strips were brought in 2 different orders (there was only 4 ordered), Cesar salad was not fresh at all and the placewas buzzing with flies. Not happy about the money spent here. Read more
We had the manager as our server as it was full capacity! She was awesome and super patient despite how busy it was. I got the... Hawaii wrap, it was pretty good but I didn't quite taste the cilantro which I was hoping for. I had it with the Greek saladwhich was average, wasn't a fan of the tomatoes that were used, they just didn't taste fresh. I also had a couple of drinks, thestrawberry gin drink as good but my draught rolling rock seemed a bit flat. We also got the jalapeno poppers which came withonly 5 and seemed like they were peppers and not jalepenos, still delicious but not what we expected. Not bad for a small townrestaurant and great staff, willing to be adaptable for requests, but room to improve. Read more
