“The food was absolutely amazing BUT I was ordering a large amount for colleagues and ordered at 10am for a 12pm pick up. When I arrived at noon for pick up they hadn't even started cooking our food.“

“I went to the standard to enjoy a patio on Canada Day. The Waitresses were all wearing masks and respected physical distancing. our table was sanitized. We drank out of pineapple, which was over the top in a good way. I had fish tacos, which were okay but they were a little bit liquidy. my friend had a chicken burger with just the right amount of crunch. it was the perfect patio and the perfect drink in the perfect food on a perfect day.“

“This place is the best spot to go for students. They give you a discount every Monday and Friday, the manager Mina is super kind. He even gives out free lollipops. He even remembers groups and orders. Best experience ever. If you're a student at a school nearby, you have to go here.“

“The vatican was amazing. loved how different and fresh it was.“

“We live in another community 10+ km away. If we want Harvey's we always take the time to go to this location - for 40 years. Order always accurate. Food always well presented and tasty. People always friendly and helpful. David and Janie Holmes.“

“Smash Daddy Ottawa: The Best Halal Smash Burger I've Ever Had
If you're looking for the best smash burger in Ottawa—especially if you prioritize high-quality, delicious halal beef—you absolutely have to stop at Smash Daddy. This isn't just a burger joint; it's a destination that delivers an explosive, messy, and totally satisfying comfort food experience.
I ordered the signature Smash Daddy burger, and it truly lives up to the hype. The use of high-quality, halal AAA Canadian beef is evident in every bite. The patties are perfectly seared, giving you that incredible, crispy Maillard crust that only a true smash burger can deliver, while still remaining intensely juicy on the inside. Layered with American cheese, sweet griddled onions, house-made dill pickles, and their proprietary Smash Daddy sauce, it's a hefty, flavor-bomb burger sandwiched in a soft, buttery brioche bun. It's easily the best halal burger I've encountered in the city.
The side order of Naked Fries is non-negotiable. These hand-cut, double-fried potatoes are absolute perfection. They’re crispy, hot, and seasoned perfectly with their special blend. They’re the ideal companion to the rich, savoury burger, especially when dipped in that addictive, smoky Smash Daddy sauce.
Verdict: Smash Daddy delivers a top-tier smash burger experience that rivals any in the region, all while upholding a commitment to fresh, quality halal ingredients. If you can handle a little mess, prepare for pure bliss. Just remember to grab a few extra napkins!“

“Highly recommend - amazing food and service!“

“Loved it… food is good staff is friendly… overall a great experience…“

“my son and I had a great visit around the 17th of May. Everyone was friendly, fast and efficient and Amir was exceptionally great! my 7 year old son rates our visit 100/10“

“We think we went on an off day (Sunday) . I ordered the Tragically maple and I was disappointed. The bacon was very over cooked that it would break off. They use what seems to be hickory sticks. It doesn't taste like bacon sticks at all. Plus they didn't use arugula and used lettuce instead. My daughter had the same burger she had 4 nights before and hers was also different. Again no arugula. Disappointed 😔“

“Great service, great food, great little addition to the neighborhood! Whole family went out for a quick and tasty dinner on a sunny evening :)“

“I just ate there for the first time. my burger was unbelievable. I can't wait to go back.“

“The burgers are amazing, just like the fries/best poutine in town. Hidden in the hart of Ottawa U, best hidden spot in the area. And if you have the hookup, order from the secret menu if Chef D if there.“

“Harvey's is Cdn with veg burgers, veg recommended to help our earlthly environment. Website for Harvey's has been NOT user friendly for me. Staff at 216 Elgin in Ottawa and Winnipeg staff are friendly yet could smile more & joke! Wear name tags!

HO response was quick + follow-ups with Jaclyn Real Person! At 216 their Manager Rassi & Server Omar knew my name as we came in to enjoy HO make-good my suggestion of a complimentary veg burger & fave Strawberry Handspun Shake. Success with Harvey's app would have earned me points & loyalty benefits.

Maybe my old MS 7 vs newer MS10 caused missed menu items or my wrong entries on the app. More care might earn points to earn benefits like Burger Boss for $3 first one. I avoid buying anything American, use mainly Harvey's, Cdn A&W & local meals in tRump years. With reliable American Google OS! :) No McDs, Burger King, Dairy Queen or Starbucks. For takeout, I'd use Winnipeg's SKIP, not US DoorDash.“

“Excellent service. Food amazing especially the crêpe. Very warm atmosphere. Will definitely go back 😊“

“Excellent food!!!! Nice place!“

“My friend and I went here tonight for the first time. I had Butter chicken tacos,and my friend had Chicken salad, food was delicious. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back. Hopefully they get their liquor licence soon and business picks up,as it’s a great spot for dinner. I would highly recommend it.“

“Patio lunch , good company. Great food“

“best portions and the cherry slushy is on point. Not watery at all The one in kanata must have a broken slushy machine because there's a huge difference. I think it's been new management for a while now and they're definitely doing well now.“

“Walked in for a quick bite not expecting much. Walked out with the only disappointment of not ordering more! The best samosas I’ve ever had. They are a must have. Plus the people are so friendly.“

“Kane, Emmanuel and Raven are the nicest, most courteous, engaging people at a fast food place that we have ever experienced. There are regular customers that come to this Harvey's and that they know their customers by name. These three employees are a 20 out of 10: they made our experience memorable.“

“I love LJB’s treats so much that even writing this recommendation has me adding some to my ubereats cart. But seriously their donuts are to die for, their events are amazing, and they always come up with the coolest ideas. My fave? They did a pancake cake!!!! What the heck so good“

“What a wonderful experience! Rebecca and a lovely lady a Manager I believe I didn't get her name (what a shame) were amazing to deal with! So friendly, so happy, so courteous!
Truly a credit to your team!!!
I'm not from this end of the city but I'll be back just for the AMAZING SERVICE from your team!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK LADIES!“

“The couple who run this A&W are amazing! Very friendly, and when our coffee was halfway done they were right there with the coffee pot filling our cups up. Plus the breakfast choices were good. This couple is an asset to your brand. True ambassadors! I will come back to this location in the future! Dawn & Ric Charles, Ottawa.“

“Tried this for lunch with my family today. Great service and very fast. Love the dinning room setup. The couch option was a big hit with my autistic son. Also not having super loud music was very nice too from a sensory point of view. Definitely recommend. The burgers were delicious. The fries were a HUGE portion.“

“Great food and service“

“Awesome broast chicken. Crunchy on the outside, juicy and well seasoned on the inside- just as you'd hope for. We had also ordered lamb chops, which was great too.

This place appeared to be busier with takeout and delivery orders than with customers dining in. It did, however, offer a cozy and inviting seating arrangement.

Again, broast chicken is the star item for what I'll return to this restaurant.“

“Josh and Alex are both great Bartenders, really add to the great Happy Hour at this Jack's location. Awesome place and vibe.“

“Fantastic burgers and great service“

“I've been happily visiting this branch of A&W for several years and definitely I recommend it to everyone because the food is excellent, the service and ambience
are unmatched and also the staff are wonderful especially SANDEEP who is always kind and welcoming with her beautiful signature smile!“
