hungry local

You don't go here for the ambiance but the food and service are really good! It's a locally run family owned restaurant that has been around forever! They won't let you down.

The staff are friendly and the beer is cheap, but it's like having a beer ten years after a nuclear war - the point where we've got back on our feet sufficiently to wash glasses, but not to carbonate beer. I've drank in better places and I've drank in worse places. The staff can't be faulted, they are so nice!

Delicious food & friendly, quick service!! I hardly spend time in the area but would absolutely recommend. Got the fish, chips & soup combo special (per the chefs recommendation) & delivered good quality within 5 mins (as promised)! Would recommend :):)

Very kind mom and pop pub.AMAZING homemade soups, fish and chips, and more!!A little pricey for pitchers of beer (rounding off over $20.00, 4types, mostly premium)Yet they have a variety of cocktail pitchers.Dinner to split between the two of us we had the fish n chips, pea soup - that will warm your heart and 190% stick to your bones.Had a pitcher and a tequila shot each - not the best, refered as "tequila bang bang".In the end a bill of over $55.00 and very satisfied. Will try the breakfast for sure.I'd recommend for sure if you've got a few dollars to spare for a very delicious well made homemade meal!7.5/10

Went in for a beer. Workers/owners looked extremely unhappy to see me. They were extremely rude from the get go. I order my beer (Alexander Keith) and I get a flat tasteless beer. I then let them know and the owner proceeds to yell and starts telling me to gtfo even after I had payed for the beer. What terrible place. I wouldn’t come back even if it’s the last restaurent on earth.

I came here for a late lunch on a Saturday when I realized that they were still serving breakfast. I ended up ordering a beer and veggie omelette with toast and home fries that were pretty good. Though this location is definitely not fancy, I found it to be a good spot to grab a quick bite, drink, and share comfort food with friends.Vegetarian options: I ate a veggie omelette.

This place has got to be the biggest mystery in Ottawa. How does it stay open!?!? There's nobody ever in there.They do show OHL games, which I appreciate. But the beer we had was most definitely skunked. Which is expected when I haven't seen anyone in there.Try for the novelty.
