Review from Josephine C.
Markham, ON

The Old Country Inn is a 140 year old house located on Main Street, Unionville. The restaurant has been in business for 35 years and is the only restaurant in Markham offering German/Austrian cuisine.
We ordered the following :
Gulasch Suppe (Goulash Soup) $6.95 - a thick soup which has potato, tomato, beef chunks
Steak Innsbruck $24.95 - Served with Sauteed Mushrooms, Bacon, Home Fries, and Vegetables
Franz Josef Schnitzel $18.95 - Breaded Cutlet with Cheese Filling, Served with Home Fries, and Vegetables
Note : Home Fries can always be substituted for spatzles which is a type of egg noodle found in german/austrian cuisine
While the food took a while to come, it was overall fantastic. This place is known for its excellent schnitzels (which is breaded boneless chicken/pork/beef, etc). Great romantic atmosphere, excellent service, nice decor. They also give out a free rose, or cupcake, etc after the meal. The waitress who served us has been working there for 32 years! -

Lunch Specials Review 4.5 stars
I never expect Old Country Inn Restaurant to be that good!! All these time I been looking for good schnitzels in Toronto and all these time, it is Markham!
Nice and homey decor, really old country stylish! Even the waitress has this old time charm, sweet and caring! Giving us really good advice of what to order and how many items to order!
The follwoing were what we ordered to share with 4 of us:
Starters:
Gulasch Soup ($2.95)
Potato Soup ($2.95)
Smoked Trout ($10.05)
Chicken Waldorf ($9.95)
Mains:
Weiner Schnitzels ($11.95)
Two Bratwurst Wurste ($12.95)
Desserts:
Apple Strudel with ice cream ($6.35)
Chocolate Cake ($6.95)
They were all really good!! Especially the Schnitzel so tender and the batter is really light and golden brown.
Must order the Apple Strudel... made in house though with raisins is one of the best one I ever had.
Lunch menu is a little cheaper than the dinner menu, strongly suggest to come for a leisure lunch. -

Went here for a taste of the homeland last night.
A very cozy restaurant with friendly staff to greet you.
The only complaint I have it the lighting situation - it's a little too dark. Although the tables have tealights to make a little more 'romantic', I had a hard time reading the menu.
The service was excellent and the meals came fast. The manager even came up to make sure everything was okie.
The food was really good. I had the goulash which is my favourite. It came with a more creamy sauce and sauerkraut.
The dumplings were a little dry.
My friends basically all had schnitzel. The portions were generous and it came with homefries and veggies. They all enjoyed it.
Beer and wine selection were decent - and reasonable priced. International german beer was $5.75
THE BEST part was their home made apple studel! SOOO good.
Save some room for dessert if you ever go to this place.
2 main course, a beer, soda, and a shared dessert came to $50.
Definetely worth the trip back!
Cute thing is - if you are younger - you will be the youngest person in the place! :P The crowd is for the retired folk! :P
Guten appetite! -

I've been going to this place for over 15 years. People are friendly and warm and make you feel welcomed. The decor / interior looks dated, but to me this is a part of the charm of this place.
Now, the food - really good schnitzels and similar to what we'd had in Vienna; because there are several versions, plain or stuffed, with or without anchovy, everyone I'd gone with was always able to find something to his/her liking.
Oh, they have the famous Viennese chocolate cake (Sacher Torte) on the menu. I didn't know its history until I visited Vienna. It is said that only two places - Hotel Sacher and Café Demel, both in Vienna - have the "original" recipe and everyone else is just imitation. Must try it again in Old Country Inn and give you a report of how theirs compare to the "original". -
Review from Darren L.

Went for a wedding. They tried their best but it just seemed to be lacking in several departments. I'll chalk it up to the large crowd we had. the steak was good but the salad was very wet. They were very skimpy on the continents and we had to ask for a fork several times before getting one. As I said, it was a large crowd so I can't overly knock it for its faults and overall I still had a good time (mostly again from the wedding.)

You always feel at home (especially if you're German/Austrian) in this homey restaurant with their great selection of beers, generous portion of schnitzel and friendly service. I'd recommend the schnitzel and the gem salad. The house riesling wine is quite decent. Groups are definitely welcome. If I were a diehard carnivore, I'd give it 4 stars.
