A huge thank you to Julie in management for keeping everything running so smoothly, and to Charlie in the back for making the food quickly and perfectly to order. Great team and great service all around—we’ll definitely be back!“

“GREAT FOOD. Gyoza, Mediterranean Bowl, Sushi Cones, Guacamole, and great drinks“

“I had an absolutely stellar experience at the A&W on Richmond in Ottawa! From the moment I walked in, the service was like a warm, golden hug—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Of course, the classic Teen Burger and root beer were as nostalgic and delicious as ever—crispy, juicy, with just the right pop of flavor. The place was spotless, and even though it was busy, everything moved like a well-oiled rollercoaster. If you’re craving a taste of that old-school charm with a modern twist, this A&W is a golden ticket!“

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

“My favorite burger in Ottawa hands down. Get the regular single burger, add a tomato and bbq sauce and thank me later! If you don't like smash style burgers, you may not like this place however. Their chicken tenders are also amazing and the prices are very reasonable. Wait can suck on weekdays but its well worth it!“

“Great food I go there for the great poutine..they are not cheap with the sauce and curds ❤️“

“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.“

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

“Shoutout to Dina at this location! I stopped in while out on a bike ride, and she not only had my mobile order ready in no time, she also kindly filled up my water bottle with ice water without me even having to ask twice. Friendly, quick, and genuinely helpful. The food was hot and tasted great too. Highly recommend this Harvey’s.“

“Visited for the first time after reading so many great reviews, and it more than lived up to the hype.

Burger was amazing quality, cooked perfectly and was delicious.

Fries were great too, and the servings are like an entire bagful! Pictured here is maybe 1/4 of what they give you?“

“Friendly staff. Great food. What more could a girl ask for 🥰“

“Service went above and beyond, especially since we had a reservation for a table of 10 that got lost in the books, they still booked us in on a Redblacks game day. Had us sat down in 10 mins of walking in.
Food was amazing and wervice was even better.
Atmosphere was a bit loud is all. Too be expected on game day though.“

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

“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.“

“Highly recommend - amazing food and service!“

“Highly recommend this place.The original authentic taste of food.“

“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 😔“

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

“Genuinely one of the best pizza places in ottawa. The service was quick and polite and the pizza is delicious. Prices arent too steep and its worth every dollar. Would definitely recommend to anyone, especially students looking for something good and quick on a budget“

“Delicious food Masha ALLAH“

“Best burgers in ottawa must visit its at 329 bank street ottawa“

“Chicken strips, fries, beef shami kababs. But my favourite was the bread.“

“Pleasant and efficient staff.“

“this is one of the most kind and respectful restaurants. I’ve ever been to everything here all the people all the food just makes my day. The only thing I can complain about is the lighting is a little off, which totally ruins the atmosphere, but in short, this is one of the best establishments I’ve ever seen. I’m so grateful that I got to enjoy a nice relaxing dinner here with some of my friends after a hard day of work coming from Quad Ville Ontario. This was one of the most surprising things I’ve ever seen just a restaurant. Thank you so much Harvey’s Goodbye“

“I am visiting Ottawa and found one of the best Indian style Pizza.

It was delicious and will definitely have it every time i visit Ottawa. Such an amazing staff as well as great food and service.

I would suggest to try it.“

“went for by birthday with my Daughter and Son in law. Ellen excellent server and so pleasant. Food excellent everything just perfect. Love this place ❤️“

“Very good experience at this Harvey's! The manager is really kind, respectful, welcoming, and makes guests feel comfortable. I greatly appreciate his attitude and the efforts he makes daily.

I've sometimes heard comments saying that the place isn't clean, but personally, I think the staff makes real efforts to keep the premises clean. We must not forget that some customers may dirty the tables, toilets, or other areas after cleaning.

The place is generally quiet, the food is clean and well-prepared. A big thank you to the manager for his professionalism, his hospitality, and the efforts he makes. It's worth highlighting! 👍“

“Today the waitress remembered me from 4 years ago when I lived a few blocks away :) The atmosphere and the food is amazing! The special was a Lebanese dish that was soo good. The best pizza I have ever had!“

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

“The food was great. The cocktail were also very good . The staff was very professional and attentive . I highly recommend this place .“

“I was disappointed with the crispy chicken sandwich. it was a tender on a bun. Even though it was on the deal menu you should be able to get a proper size chicken pattie. it should say tender on a bun. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!“

“Our server Yan, was absolutely awesome 👌. He was friendly, courteous and attentive to our table. All the staff that we interacted with were also very friendly and amazing. I will definitely be coming back to this new location 😊. I also want to welcome Laura, we had an awesome conversation after we were seated. She is new to Ontario and I want to wish her all the best in her adventures.“

“Our family really loves the Carlingwood Harvey's, and it has become a regular part of our week. Everytime we arrive we greeted with a warm smile from Christina, who knows are order. Let's face it Harvey's burgers are the best! Why would I want to pay an extra $1 at Burger King's for an extra tomato while Harvey's set you with the topping the way you like it! This is great location; I'm sure you will love it too!“

“What a nice restaurant. We all enjoyed our meals. The staff were wonderful. Definitely recommend! Sorry about the picture- I didn’t think to take a picture until after I had a few bites!“

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

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

“Food is good - overpriced but good. Love when live music is featured“

“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.“

“10/10! The White Album was amazing and some of the best garlic sauce I've ever had! They have incredible food.“

“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.“

“My girlfriend and i eat here too often. It started off as a "were broke, lets get the walk in special" to a weekly or sometimes more often tradition.Love the food, the burger place next door is owned by the same brothers, also spectacular.“
