“Stopped by on way back from cottage for 1st time. Told them I love great smoked meat, years ago I worked across the street from Nates. Bought a pound, some rye bread and a couple pickle slices to go. Thick hand sliced. Wife and I loved it. As good as Nates. Will be going back, often. Now if you could open a shop around Hunt Club...“

“We visited Sushi Fresh and it was a great experience for sushi lovers. Located in ByWard Market, the restaurant has a simple and cozy atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming.

The highlight was definitely the freshness of the sushi. The fish tasted clean and flavorful, while the rice had a good texture and balance. The presentation was neat and appetizing without feeling overly complicated.

Service was quick and friendly, and although the dining area is on the smaller side, it adds to the casual local-spot feel. It works well for dine-in, takeout, or a quick meal while exploring downtown Ottawa.

Many local diners also describe it as one of their favorite sushi places in Ottawa because of its consistency, generous portions, and fresh ingredients.

Overall experience was good.

Fresh sushi, good portions, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere — a place worth coming back to if you enjoy Japanese food in Ottawa. 🍣

“Tasty Food, Fresh and reasonable price in addition to great dining service especially the waiter IMAN, she is so friendly and likable on all levels with adult and kids as well, I really like her kindness so much!“

“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!“

“I had such a great experience at Popeyes! Huge shoutout to sukhman, one of the workers there. She was super kind and welcoming. Her warm attitude and genuine smile really made my visit better. You can tell she cares about her job and the customers. Popeyes is lucky to have her!“

“My husband, almost 10-month old just had the most delicious and healthy lunch here today. it was very healthy, very delicious and didn't break the bank. the customer service was exceptional. the owner was right there welcoming us it and explained everything to us! such a good experience! so happy to see healthy alternatives pop-up :)“

“Best poutine in town!!!!!!“

“Go here when you get the munchies. Way better than McDonald's and still cheap.

Update: it's more expensive now and they go too light on the gravy. It's like eating a lightly marinated plate of fries. The popcorn chicken was also barely crisp and probably undercooked from frozen. It was fine; I was hungry.“

“Nice little shop with good Vietnamese subs and iced coffee!“

“Best Pizza in Barrhaven! Plenty of specialty pizzas to please every taste. Tons of toppings on them. Reasonably priced and always ready on time for pickup. Great Service!Thanks Toppers!“

“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.“

“We always get one when me and my husband go down town“

“I was on my way to the chip truck to check it out but didn’t realize it was just closing the owner went above and beyond and offered to make us some fries even though they were just closing. The fries were delicious and great service! Will definitely be back here!“

“great staff...remarkable unique corn dogs“

“The Chinese dishes were fresh, appealing to the eyes and flavouful. The ordering process was easy to use and the food was ready on time. This was our first visit to Chips & Dairy. We'll be back.“

“I love the food but if you order with the app, check your food before you leave. I hadn’t ordered in months and was really looking forward to the buffalo chicken strips and they gave me regular chicken strips. We ordered a bottled iced tea and got a can instead. Of course everything is in bags and sealed so it makes it harder but it’s important. Not only did the cook make the wrong food but even the lady who packages it before you get it doesn’t notice.“

“This is a small, cozy shop with extremely friendly staff—perfect for warming up during the winter. The food is absolutely divine, the kind you’d wish as your last meal, leaving you with the taste of pure ambrosia as you drift off into the afterlife.“

“This bistro was a great little stop-over on our evening bike circuit. It boasts an open air atmosphere and friendly staff. Local craft beers are available. The burger and fries are tasty and substantive.I recommend this iconic place.“

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

“I ordered Pizza from this location, but we had an incident; the manager at the store dealt with it professionally and instantly; I definitely recommend this location“

“My pizza is always made hot and ready to order for pick up. Toppings are plentiful and it’s usually cut pretty well. I always know what I’m going to get, with it being consistent each time. Staff is always kind, friendly and quick with my order :)“

“Best pizza places I have ever known“

“Amazing quality of food. The ladies and all staff who work there are always so friendly and go beyond expectations. Decided to try the new Nashville sandwich and I was not disappointed.🙏 The food lives up to the Mary Brown’s name. Where else do you get a sandwich where the piece of chicken goes beyond both sides of the sandwich? 5⭐️“

“Karan consistently provides some of the best customer service I’ve experienced at Subway. Every visit is a great experience because he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about the customers. He always makes sure orders are prepared perfectly, pays attention to the details, and creates a welcoming atmosphere.“

“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?“
