17 Best American Restaurants in Ottawa

“Don't let the small place fool you. It's a great place to eat and the staff always make you welcome, which is what makes me come back. I can't wait to try more dishes.“

“This was my first time going here. We were in the area for an appointment, so my boyfriend suggested we stop here. He said he had been here before. When we walked in, I noticed how welcoming the atmosphere was. The staff there was so friendly. The food was delicious. I can honestly say that it was worth every penny. I ordered the ½ dark fried chicken. It came with the salad bar. The salad bar had so many options. I wanted to try everything. Unfortunately, my eyes were bigger than my tummy. I was only able to eat one piece of chicken and half my baked potato. The menu really stood out to me. The option for vegetarian and gluten-free was on the menu. I plan on getting my daughter who has a gluten intolerant to come here when she visits next time. Thank you for the wonderful experience!! ?“

“Quick & friendly service with excellent tasting food“

“Atmosphere was great, staff and people were very friendly and welcoming. Was so nice after a long day. And on top of that the food was great, chicken strips as a name of a dish is misleading, huge“

“We have never had a bad meal at Pine Hills! Great food. Great service. Finally had time to give brunch a try……….. fabulous!“

“Amazing Specials Great Service Awesome proportions“

“I went through the drive thru with my mom a few minutes ago with my dogs, one of whom is very sick. The worker at the window noticed my dogs and told us she loved dogs and thought ours were so cute and she offered us some pup cups. It was so sweet and really made my day and both of my dogs were very happy with the service.“

“We had excellent service! Our server Eric went above and beyond to make sure my mom and I enjoyed our lunch! Thank you! ♥️“

“Very good food and a awesome atmosphere.“

“I love this restaurant always have and always will never ever had a bad experience it was always good“

“"I had a fantastic experience at Court Street Pub! The burger was top-notch—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great too, with a laid-back vibe that made it easy to relax and enjoy my meal. They also have an excellent selection of beers, both local and popular options, which really complemented the food. Whether you're there for a quick bite or just hanging out with friends, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!"“

“Real nice people that run the place, great home cooked food, and if course gambling!“

“Love a great hidden gem, you walk in thinking it's a dive bar ,but think again! This place is way classier than menu and appearance. The menu has expanded, the outdoor area has expanded and not to mention how nice the server/bartender was as well as inviting, I'm fortunate to be able to order lunch from here often cuz it's so affordable I don't think I can go to fast food for the same price. Weekly specials also killing it! Must stop by

Parking: Parking everywhere just a very small walk“

“Service is great, cordial and speedy, atmosphere is great as it's an old building and they even offer succinct cards of the history of the building. However if you came for the chairs, the chairs are horrible. The one I claimed wouldn't turn left. It would spin right but not left. I recommend this place to anyone who likes speedy drinks, a staff that interacts with you, and an atmosphere with a rich history. However if you came for the chairs like me, it may leave you dissapointed. Overall great place will come back for a different chair.“

“Great food. Huge portions and very AFFORDABLE prices. Highly recommend and will return!!!“

“Stopped in for a very tasty ground beef not frozen patty Hamburger. I had it lettuce wrapped with delicious fries. I will come again. I had half the burger left over for lunch tomorrow. Bring your cash because they don't allow credit cards. But their prices are so low it is worth the inconvenience. Seems like a lot of regulars. Very friendly folks.“

“Excellent experience, best bar food in town, with a deverse menu going above and beyond expectations!! The server/bartender Stacy was extremely helpful with menu questions and very attentive to the whole table including the children. 10 out of 10 I'll definitely be back soon!!“
