For a stand thats been around for many years, has anyone not told them yet that frozen bagged fries suck! When I go to a french fry stand I expect fresh cut frys, very disappointed . Was better off going to Mcdonalds and ordering value menu frys and saving $ 4 dollars

French's has been at the park for over 80 years. It still has that old time feel of getting ice cream at the park. A perfect place to grab a drink or snack while enjoying the park.

If your swimming or walking at the beach in Orillia this is "the" place to go. Historical French's stand with all the fixings for a meal or snack. Maybe just an icecream cone.

It is in the main park in Orillia on the water and is only open in the summer. It has been there as long as I can rmember. But the food is so so as it is run mainly by students and does good because it is the only one close to the park

Great view, great food. Fries and shakes were the best, should have opted for a hot dog, rather than a bugrer, but there is always next time:-)
