“The family in the kitchen is as amazing as the food. I will visit here anytime I am in Ottawa. probably the best chicken I have ever had. Thanks for the tour Ramone. Your pride in your product shows in the taste.....“

“Went to Fatboys for the first time tonight and it won’t be our last. After waiting for a seat we were met by the owner who welcomed us and told us we would enjoy the food and he wasn’t wrong we had the Kentucky shared platter and it was definitely filling and the price was affordable. Our server was Emma who filled our drinks and told us what food was coming and what dips were available. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Will definitely be back“

“My wife and I traveled from Ghana to Ottawa for business, and we stumbled upon BBQ GOLDEN GRILLSTONE for dinner. The food was absolutely mouthwatering! We felt right at home, surrounded by flavors that transported us back to Ghana. The jollof rice was spot on - it tasted just like the authentic Ghanaian jollof we grew up with. What a great idea to bring a taste of Africa to Ottawa! The flavors were sweet and perfectly balanced. We'll definitely be back for more!“

“Discovered this restaurant today and happy we did. The food was excellent, great experience allowing us to cook our meal while chatting. Attentive service, excellent quality. A lot of food in the options. We really loved the experience and will definitely return.“

“Had the roasted brussell sprouts to start, highlight of the meal they were to die for. Pulled pork sandwich and a brisket sandwich both very good, garden salad was disappointing. Drinks were average for the price. Overall would definately go back while in the area“

“great space, awesome knowledgeable staff, incredible wine list and they were even able to accommodate a fussy vegan with fresh flavourful food.“

“Great good with great value“

“We ordered the family platter for 4. Halal bbq beef ribs and pulled beef were great. It is a largely self service place with disposable dishes and plates but glad the utensils were of steel. Also liked the corn bread.“

“We are a group who booked for the all you can eat buffet to celebrate a friend's birthday. The variety and quality of the dishes was amazing, good value. They even brought a plate of freshly made stuffed vine leaves to the table, still piping hot. (My only quibble: a few of the dishes were just warm/tepid/cool. Not easy to keep everything at the right temperature with a buffet.) There was something for everyone, whether you are a vegetarian or a meat or fish eater. My particular favourite: stuffed courgettes/zucchini - delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Convenient parking out front. We will be back.“

“My company recently ordered from African BBQ House in Ottawa. Everyone was blown away by the portions and flavors of the food. The owner and staff were incredible with accommodating my order when given short notice and were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 10/10!“

“Fantastic little whole in the wall Caribbean food!! BBQ chicken was to die for..spicy, moist & charred to perfection! Big portions, reasonably priced & tastes fresh & delicious!! You can tell they put their heart & soul into their cuisine. Highly recommend & we'll definitely be back!!“

“We chose this place to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and it made the occasion feel extra special 🎉🎂 It was our very first time visiting this chain, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Thankfully, the experience turned out to be a great one! 😊

From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well organized. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, which made it perfect for a family celebration. 🎈 The food was enjoyable, and everyone at the table found something they liked, which is always a win when you’re dining out together.

Overall, it was a wonderful first impression, and we’re glad we chose it for such a meaningful day. We’d definitely consider coming back again in the future! ✨“

“Super filling and well priced“

“great food great taste very nice people 😀 👍“

“I have been going here for years. They are great. I usually get duck, char sui and crispy pork. Depending on the day, they will have other stuff. Some times I just get a whole bunch of stuff for me and my friends, other times I'll get a bunch of lunch boxes. A lunch box can have 1,2 or 3 meats - comes with huge amount of rice and Chinese greens.
I even bought a hat once - got a good laugh from the team :)“

“Double 7 is a true gem in Ottawa! From the moment you enter, you are greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The menu offers an incredible selection of authentic African dishes, all rich in flavor and prepared with the utmost care. Every bite transports you to the heart of Africa, with dishes that are both comforting and exciting.“

“The food and the staff were amazing. I had some lamb, rice and kwanga (should have taken plantain instead of kwanga as it was tastier). Our server was very kind and energetic. Music was nice but the seating could have been a bit better. I will most certainly go back.“

“Flavours were fantastic and the service was warm and inviting (contrary to some reviews we read prior to going)and the only draw back was the place looks like it could use a little tlc. My family took me there for my birthday dinner (2A 2C under 6) and we walked in to a bouquet of mouthwatering smells and the courteous and friendly staff directed us to choose what ever table we wanted. The restaurant to be honest, looked like it needed a polish and the floor could use a good mopping. That was the ONLY negative to our experience there. After talking to the mgr who walked me through the menu and gave lots of great information and suggestions we placed our order. He was even kind enought to wish me a happy birthday and brought me a juice as a little something! Please understand that time relaxing and talking while waiting for the food is part of the African restaurant experience so don't be expecting toget it on your table in 5 min. If you want that go to McD's! When the food came (2 combo platters) it was beautifully plated (I wish I thought to take pics!) and with a bowl of delicious jolof rice. FYI Ghanian jolof is different in the flavour and "sauciness" and this Nigerian jolof was fantastic of its own right being light, fluffy, and with a beautiful smoky note. The chicken and goat were amazing! Tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour I only wish we had ordered more! The beef was a little overcooked comparitively. I will say that there is a bit of heat to the dish (a tiny little bit too much for the kids even though they didn't stop eating! hahaha) The take out and delivery that was coming and going throughout our meal was nonstop which just goes to tell you how good the food is. Overall if you decide to check this place out you won't be dissapointed. The food, service, and friendliness of staff are amazing! We'll be back!“
