“Amazing and very clean shop, customer service was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable. The smell when you walk in is so good and inviting.”

“The WINGS are THE BEST & FRESH in Ottawa!! I go there every week atleast once. I order online in Wingsup.com and pick the food in a jiffy. Love the Jamaican hot 🥵 being an Indian this is so flavourful and spicy. Second best I like is Texas tequila flavour. Great boneless bites too 🔥🔥🔥”

“If you’re looking for an incredible Italian dining experience, look no further than Via Cibo! The food here is absolutely amazing.”

“Our go-to for fast and delicious. Feel way less guilty that with other fast food choices. Mucho has been a godsend during the pandemic with low contact service. Five stars.”

“This review is about Ruchi that works at the kanata location. this employee made me my order and she made it perfect i enjoyed it greatly and it was delicious this location really seems to care about their customers. thank yiu Ruchi”

“The wraps r amazing. Seriously melt in your mouth goodness. So much flavour & the perfect size. The service is fantastic. First time I went they walked me thru the menu explaining each item. So helpful & exceptionally friendly. I’ve been to the one in Newmarket a few times now & each time is equally as impressive. If you’re looking for a healthy, tasty, quick lunch in a very comfortable atmosphere, this is the place to go.”

“Came in on a Busy World Juniors Game night, and Cassandra was so kind, friendly and gave fantastic Service! Within 15 minutes of sitting down we got, waters, drinks and our food in what felt like the matter of seconds! Thank you so much Jacks! Definitely coming back the next time!”

“Last night was my 2nd time at this place. We showed up with no reservation and asked for a table for 15 people. They made it happen. The food was AMAZING! We split a few platters and everyone was happy and left very full.The prices were very reasonable. Our waiter, Emrah, was super attentive, funny and an overall happy guy! What a pleasure to have him take care of us. Please come check this place out! 🙏🏻”

“Dropped in for dinner with my two grandchildren. Very warm, welcoming people. Asked our likes and dislikes, and tailored the food to our tastes. Brought beverages quickly and treated the kids like customers not nuisances.
Food was amazing, service exceptional. I highly recommend this family enterprise.
Will definitely return. Liz”

“Usually service and food is good. Today, july 22 around 2:30 it was someone different. I was only customer and the guy got it wrong. Ordered 2 meat/cheese. When I got home...no cheese. Also, dough was way too thin. And way too much spice. Sorry. It's usually my go to for Lebanese pies, but today's food was not up to snuff.”

“Their delicious burritos, tacos and quesadillas never disappoint! Always fresh ingredients and friendly service make Burrito Express our Go-To place whenever a craving hits!”

“One of the best places to come for some Mexican. The options, the quality of the food, the quick service. We LOVE coming here, our son (14 months old) also loves the food!”

“It was perfect patio weather to enjoy cocktails, nachos, quesadillas, chicken tenders, hamburgers etc. Great service, great food, cozy patio, can't beat that!”

“Otroligt god mat! Rekommenderar starkt deras halstrade lax i kombination med chilimajo. Deras rullar och poke bowls är också storfavoriter här hemma. Vardagslyx; 10/10!”

“I love this place! Always delicious!”

“Outstanding, as usual! Erica and her team are awesome!”

“Second satellite location for this brewery. While it is in an industrial park, they did a really good job making the place look great. Wide range of their beers are available. I did not eat here, but all the food served to the table next to me looked great.”

“Had a wonder birthday meal for my better half. The food was awesome, our server Amber was amazing!”

“Awesome food, great atmosphere”

“We were part of a group of 32 of a soccer team, and our grandson's 16th birthday. Besides that, the staff were serving 2 other birthday parties, one being a 100 year old. Every one of the servers were friendly and efficient. Thanks so much for such a pleasant evening.”

“Landsdowne Location-April 27,2025 Wonderful service by Jordan. Attentive, customer service focused, thoughtful and friendly for our group of 8. Food was excellent, hot, fresh, made to order and generous. Good wine and beer selection. Red sangria was excellent. We will be back. Highly recommend”

“The food is excellent and the service is A1. We were given a tour of the Beer Brewing process and there is far more to making beer than we had any idea of. Thank you for the tour. We love coming here.”

“The take out was amazing, great portions and amazing flavours! We couldn't believe the quality, just as good as dine in. AMAZING job!”

“Went to enjoy the old Fedtive Special. And Swiss Chalet did not disappoint. Fantastic service by Marie Anne, very polite and fun to chat with. Great attitude, the service made dinner that night extra special.
Can't wait for our next visit. That Swiss sauce gets me every time. What a treat!
Great service, good food.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Marie Anne.”

“I'll start by saying the food was really good. But what an experience. Everything was going great tonight at hockey sushi. Until I had to go to the restroom. Was finishing up my business, and come to find there's no toilet paper. I waited patiently but no one came in to my rescue. Then I saw that someone had left me 1 sheet of paper towel wedged in the stall panel. It was enough to get me into the other stall. But there was no tp there either. Anyways I figured it out. Food was great and I appreciated the authentic staff. I got a nose bleed and drank a Molson Canadian. Just need toilet paper.”

“Amazing service as we were a large group. Orders came out quickly and mostly together. Food was good, possibly some more herbs in the sauce would make it better.”

“Above-par, hard workin' staff that still take a moment to chat you up while mixing 4 shakes and managing the take-out counter. Superhuman Service! Loved my Reuben so much I bought the tshirt in the hopes they'll give me staff rate on my next meal ;) Hearty portions so plenty left to share with a fellow hosteller. 5-Stars, thanks for the comfort food since Winterlude hot chocolates as a kid in the 80s. Best Nostalgia Diner in the City”

“What a fantastic experience! Lily was kind, composed, clear, and intuitive when she took my order. What a dream to have her behind the mic. Brooke and Coco cooked the food to perfection. They raised the bar on food quality with only one shwoing. I would make a detour just to visit this location in the future! Give these girls a raise.”

“Great food & wonderful service!👏👏👏”

“Tanner was helpful to answer my questions. The staff seemed to have a good team spirit. My breakfast was great and my decaf coffee was piping hot! It's sad that I don't expect good decaf coffee from a take-out restaurant, so it was a pleasant surprise. A convenient, clean place to stop as I'm running my errands! Thank you!

Dietary restrictions: Decaf”

“Love their burgers and fries!”

“The happiest most friendly crew IN NORTH AMERICA. Drive thru lane is narrow and quite a difficult maneuver.... But it is typical in city of Ottawa to prohibit truck use and not this franchises fault.”

“I had a wonderful experience at this Tim Hortons!

The place was beautiful—very neat, tidy, and welcoming. The tables were spotless, and everything looked well-maintained. The best experience was with abhishek, who is the manager . He is so humble and professional. He gave us good suggestions for the food.”

“I pulled in here after driving from Trenton. It's probably the best McDonald's I've been to in years. Large parking lot, lots of space inside, fast friendly service, bathroom wasn't locked, lots of condiments available, and they actually accept cash!”

“Best tim love to come every day staff is really friendly and treats you like family members all ways fresh and hot food i wish i can give 100 stars specially thnx to komal and amrita

Vegetarian options: Fresh allways

Parking: 1600 kanata”

“Clean, friendly and delicious! Great vibe and selection.”

“Hands down the best shawarma in Ottawa! Our family has tried numerous places, but this one has become our absolute favorite. We make the drive from Stittsville just to enjoy it. The wraps are generously loaded with fresh ingredients, and the flavors are simply outstanding. The chicken is always juicy and tender—never dry. To top it off, the service is consistently warm and friendly.”

“Just ate there. Great service and food”

“Best thin crust pizza in town. Lots of flavour”

“Great food and the nicest owner”

“Loved being here. Great service, it wasn't busy during lunch and just one server was managing all tables. Food was great and so were the portions.
It's in the strip mall opposite farm boy. Ample parking spots available. Complementary tea is perfect to warm up your tummy before food arrives. We'll be back again for more. Thanks.

Vegetarian options: Tofu with rice

Parking: You don't have a problem finding spot.”

“Decided to drop in on a whim.
Crazy horse saloon.
Walked in and asked if I could go for a drink at the bar; at the door there were hostesses and a manager I think.
All were friendly and courteous.
They pointed me to the bar and told me to enjoy.

I sat on the tall stool chair and looked around.
Very saloon like feeling. I like this place.
Bar tender offered me Wicked easy pale ale by Samuel Adams.
Tasty nice hint of citrus and felt nice going down.
I wasn’t hungry at all just in for a drink but the friendly welcoming bar tender suggested the 1/2 price Tacos.
The choices were chicken or haddock.
I love fish so I thought why not; try the tacos.
Now I have tried tacos all over North America but let me tell you.
Man these tacos were delicious. Light, fresh, tasty, fragrant and just perfect,
Are they always like this or was this a lucky night for the chef.
The perfect most satisfying light bite that I could remember.
I am glad I ordered the fish Tacos, everyone should try these simple yet super delicious satisfying tacos.

So I had to order a dessert and it was the pretzel brownie.
Came topped with a delicious fresh scoop of vanilla ice cream and a line of chocolate sauce.

Then the bill came. 30 dollars - wow
That was so cheap compared to the pleasure I was gifted this evening.
The most amazing tacos, the most friendly and welcoming staff all around and, the atmosphere; I felt like I was at a real saloon. Love this..
Everyone should try this place and I hope you will be as lucky as I was this evening.”

“Little Caesars is decent for a quick, affordable pizza fix.

The staff are clearly overworked and understaffed but still manage to be friendly and helpful.

The pizza itself is average, similar to other fast food pizza chains.

I usually go for the Detroit deep dish—it’s okay but doesn’t quite compare to the original from Buddy’s.

Overall, not bad for the price, but there’s room for improvement.

Parking: Huge parking lot, it’s in a Strip Mall.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.”

“One of the only places where you can get a nice juicy grilled chicken sandwich.

I love one can customize the burger on demand.

Service is fast and the place was clean.

Vegetarian options: Nice veggie burger 🍔”

“The food is amazing I tried different dishes every time and it’s a mouth watering dishes. Chaats are the best 5/5 . I recommend others to visit this restaurant. Customer service is excellent. I will definitely come soon again to try something new”

“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...”

“Great environment. Good food.”

“Limitless (movie 🎥) & X-large Willy's Special 🍕 Kanata Friday Nights 💓”

“We ordered from Dragon Fortune Delight for the first time tonight and we were so pleased with our meals. The food was delivered in an hour which we expected but it was very warm and so tasty. We loved plates the food comes in. The portions are huge and the price was right. We will be ordering again, that's for sure.”

“Fratelli’s is a must visit when I am in Kanata for Business! Absolutely love the Fish Soup, my favorite dish. The wait staff is by far the most attentive and friendly.”

“Amazing subs. Honestly, the best I’ve ever had! On top of that, the customer service is amazing. I had an issue and the manager went above and beyond in order to correct it as soon as possible.”

“Food is amazing at burrito gringo. Service by a male line worker was great he accommodated my request of cutting the burrito in half, the cashier girl was kinda non cooperative. Over all good food and service.”

“I love this place. I love being greeted by everyone, it is such a lovely start to dining there. The food is always delicious and the service is always wonderful, I can’t say enough good things about this place. We love the gyozas and the gyudon, and any ramen dish we’ve had has been fantastic.”

“Great location and atmosphere, and the staff are really accommodating. Just a suggestion: I always get a coffee with cream but the cream is put in cold, so the coffee goes lukewarm pretty fast. Would it be possible to get this heated up before it’s added?”

“I can't say enough good things about this place. Consistent good food at a reasonable price. This has become dinner at least 3 times a week. Can't beat it!”

“The service is fast and efficient. the food is amazing. Highly recommended.”

“Staff was cleaning tables while front counter took my order. Food was amazing and service was prompt, will return to investigate the baked potato option 🥔

Watch out for the giant curb in the parking lot that could easily ruin your car if there was snow hiding it. (When you turn in from Hazeldean)”

“What truly set this pizza apart was the freshness of the ingredients. The generous amount of paneer chunks scattered across the pizza ensured that each bite was packed with savory goodness. Paired with a variety of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, every slice was a colorful mosaic of flavors.”

“My Better Half and myself were about to go order a couple pizzas when I noticed Pirho Grill. It looked interesting and she wanted to see what they offered. Since it's Friday, she does not eat meat. She loved the idea that you could build your own bowl and went for the All the Veggies. she especially like the Vegan Baked Zucchini cakes. Myself I got the Spicy lamb Meatballs. Our meals were excellent. She loved it. Told me it was much better than the Cheese or Vegetarian pizza she normally gets on these days and that'll become our goto place on Wednesdays (another day she does not eat meat) and Fridays. Place suits us both as we both can have what we want and eat healthy. She was especially happy with the Staff who were courteous and helpful with explanations and suggestions. Now, if you add some sort of fish to the menu, she'll be in Heaven :P Highly Recommend the place.”

“I ordered a grande London fog and when I went to the window they informed me that they only had one earl grey tea bag left, without even asking they offered me a free drink and pastry. Great service through and through.”

“the best food in kanata for breakfast or lunch”

“Love shopping here, but I thought that it would be ridiculous to close the stores, thinking people need to work, but with Covid virus, it’s the only way to stop it in its tracks, to close malls for at least the next week”

“Law & Orders provided the poutine bar at our wedding and it was delicious, exactly what the crowd needed! Really goes above and beyond. We were so happy with the service, attentiveness, and great communication. A+ catering!!!!”

“Although there's a Starbucks location just beside the Chapters across the street, this is hands down my preferred location of Starbucks in Kanata South. Prompt service, very considerate, and well-behaved baristas. 5 stars for having chosen the right people in customer service. All you expect amidst a chaotic and frazzled day is a smile and a polite sulk-free service.”

“I am a huge Pizza lover. This Gabriel pizza is the best in town. Food, quick service, ambience, staff you name it and this is the best place. Their patios are also awesome. This is now my GO-TO Pizza store and would highly recommend.”

“delicious food but wish there was another option for delivery besides Skip the Dishes”

“One of the best destinations in Kanata! Great soft serve, good prices and always pleasant staff! You gotta go!!”

“Fries are the best anywhere. The staff is so friendly.”

“You know you visit a business often when the owner begins to recognize you. There is no other dipped ice cream around that compares to Chocolats Favoris. Stick to your favourites or change it up each time you go, you can't go wrong. The chocolate is so good!!”

“The food was fresh and tasty and service was great! We had the Crunchy Fish Tacos and the Falafel Burrito. Great selection of toppings, and the service was friendly and efficient!”

“Great soups, sandwiches, salads. Affordable prices! For example, a soup is $5.25 and a Caesar Salad is $6. A Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich or Vegan Wrap is $7.50. Importantly, the food is tasty! Paninis are incredible!Definitely get food here instead of Perspectives Restaurant at Brookstreet Hotel. It's much more delicious.”

“'This' Wine Garden location is a fantastic spot. I made wine years ago and stopped going for a few reasons. Sure, I liked the lower price, and the flavor was decent, but the staff and environment were very dry/bland. When I stepped in to this store and met these people, I decided it was time to start again. The wine is amazing, the price is great, and the people here are amazing. Visit Matt at The Wine Garden . . . you'll start again too.”

“Law & Orders provided the poutine bar at our wedding and it was delicious, exactly what the crowd needed! Really goes above and beyond. We were so happy with the service, attentiveness, and great communication. A+ catering!!!!”

“I used to consider this the worst subway in Kanata because they were so cheap with ingredients. Maybe the ownership changed recently but regardless last few visits I have been really impressed with the friendly service and they dont seem to be stingy with the ingredients.”

“Stopped in today for my first visit and omg !!!!!! The aroma gets you when you walk in the door! Then you get greeted by a wonderful employee! The selection is fantastic! However, the BEST part was getting home and diving in! Thank you ! I’ll be back ❤️”

“We, went to this restaurant,and, I will congradulate the owner and staff for very good preparations of their foods.Arrived attable hot,and delicious.Quick service. Thank you very much. I, recommend highly.”

“Been coming here for decades when you were at hazldesn mall. They make everything from scratch. All these negative reviews are misleading”

“Generous portions, great flavour and lots of options. The service was great.

Vegetarian options: Available

Parking: The entrance is very easy to miss.”

“Such an amazing place with amazing staff and amazing food. Ali always serves with a smile and you can never go wrong with this place. I’d recommend any of their food to anyone especially the chicken stromboli. Shoutout to Ali once again”

“I have been here a few times since I moved into the neighbourhood and I've always enjoyed the food. You get great value for what you get I always get a few meals ordering two entrees. The staff is always really friendly and I love it when the cute little guys are there playing in the front of house they are never in the way but it's so cute to see them playing. I always recommend this place.”

“Visited for a patio dinner on a Saturday evening. Good menu, clean venue, wait staff pleasant, food was good! But I have to point out a major faux-pas. I ordered the deep fried cheesecake for dessert. It was supposed to come with strawberry and chocolate sauce & whip cream. They were out of strawberry sauce but didn't mention it when I ordered and so was not given the option to choose something else. Another restaurant runner dropped it off with NO toppings whatsoever... I thought the toppings might come after, but after a while ate it as it was (it was good but would have been so much better with even only one of the toppings) Finally when our bill came, we mentioned that the dessert had no toppings. We were told the waitress was new and didn't realize.... I get that... but what I wasn't expecting was that we still had to pay full price for the dessert---no discount, no other offer. That was very disappointing service... I suppose I could have complained or asked to speak to a "manager" but at that point just really wanted to leave. Because everything else about the restaurant was good---and so happy it's even Canadian---we will return... hoping for a better experience”

“There was an issue in the kitchen. We ordered four meals, waited about 45 mins then were told only three were ready because they had run out of the fourth. I feel we should've been told this right away. So fourth person then had to place a new order. The waitress was extremely apologetic and the manager did take the fourth meal and two desserts off our bill, which was appreciated.”

“Dropped in for dinner with my two grandchildren. Very warm, welcoming people. Asked our likes and dislikes, and tailored the food to our tastes. Brought beverages quickly and treated the kids like customers not nuisances.
