Great team and great service all around—we’ll definitely be back!“

“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...“

“How disgraceful. No fundraiser for the millions of Palestinian Men, Women and children devestated, dead, dying during a n ongoing massacre. You'd think filthy rich Ottawa Lebanese Resto owners would do something! DO SOMETHING! 🇵🇸🖕🇮🇱“

I once went at 7:30 and they were already stopping dine in service. Either way, my friends and I will still be back, hopefully earlier next time lol“

“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.“

“The service was amazing! This was my first time at Five Guys and they were all very helpful.

Nice atmosphere; very retro. They also tell you where their potatoes are sourced from weekly.

Food itself was great. This place is good when you need a nice, kind of greasy, messy, and flavourful burger and fries.“

“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⭐️“

“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.“
