Zak's Diner Reviews
Above-par, hard workin' staff that still take a moment to chat you up while mixing 4 shakes and managing the take-out counter. Superhuman Service!
Loved my Reuben so much I bought the tshirt in the hopes they'll give me staff rate on my next meal ;) Hearty portions so plenty left to share with a fellow hosteller. 5-Stars, thanks for the comfort food since Winterlude hot chocolates as a kid in the 80s. Best Nostalgia Diner in the City
We had breakfast at the Kanata location, we order 2 poached eggs and bacon for 17.99$each robbery for this.
if I go to a restaurant I want real poached eggs not eggs from a steamer pan and not even cooked properly, came with tasteless bean from a can and about 10 beans in a small condiment container, frozen cooked potatoes, the toast and
bacon was ok, this is not a diner
The milkshake were amazing and the service was good but I went with 2 of my friends we all got some sort of burger and all 3 of them was disgusting pretty much all 3 of our plates where still full when we left and it costs us $40 each not worth it, we were told it was good so we went…. Not going back unfortunately.

Zak's Diner, located in the heart of ByWard Market, offers classic diner fare with the option to "poutinize your fries" for an extra cost. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for breakfast, lunch, and more. Visitors often appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, who are known for always having a coffee pot in hand. The service is generally quick, and staff take care of customers well, often accommodating special requests, like larger tables. Despite slightly higher prices, the cozy environment and good service justify the cost. The menu features highlights such as the Famous Milkshake, Ice Cream Float, Honey Garlic wings, and Chocolate Shake, which are popular among guests. The size of the shakes is impressive, often coming in a glass with more than a second glass-full on the side. The bacon on the burgers is highly recommended, and the Meat lovers breakfast has been noted for its fabulous, large portions. There are vegetarian options available upon request. Overall, Zak's Diner provides a nostalgic dining experience perfect for those seeking comfort food in Ottawa, and guests are likely to return for the delicious food and friendly service.
