Fast food restaurant
😠 Tried the club wrap when you first opened and was blown away. Noticed quality went down hill quickly. What is this wrap job? And you’re no longer cutting it in half? Clean the griddle before you cook on it! Gross clumps of black garbage in our burger and wraps left an awful taste in our mouth

👍👍 Recently switched from the Kanata location to this one due to its proximity, and I must say, the food and atmosphere is nothing short of amazing. The food consistently exceeds expectations.

Equator Coffee Stittsville

👍👍 Equator coffee had some big shoes to fill when taking over quitters coffee shop. After going to equator quite a few times since, I’m happy that things are simply excellent. Same lovely staff with the same delicious food (new items on the menu… the chicken sandwich is a must try). Last but not least,...

Constance Lake Lodge
Restaurant
👍👍 The breakfast here is amazing! The atmosphere is even better! A warm, homemade meal at the cottage only 20 minutes out of the city. Zone out on the crystal clear water while scarfing down sausages and bacon, that's the good life.

Perfectly cooked fried chicken (crispy & juicy) and not greasy at all. You get a choice of either spicy or mild sauce. Both look the same and taste like man...

Meal Prep Ottawa
Restaurant
😐 I ordered 4 servings from ottawa meal prep for the first time and dont think ill be trying again. The food was just so bland and not tasty. The chicken had a little off taste to it im guessing from the lack of seasoning. The asparagus tasted like it was steamed for 3 minutes. Not to mention, the pa...

👍 Solid food stand! Above average variety and nice fusion of Asian and standard chip truck fare. Excellent portions but a touch pricey (sit-down restaurant levels). Definitely would eat here again.

👍👍 This place is more than meets the eye. Quality/price ratio is off the charts. Great service. The mall food court is a time warp to the 90s. Never change, Mr. Cheezy Pizza.

👍👍 Fantastic poutine! Homemade fries and gravy, with St Albert cheese curds! You can customize it to your liking, asking for extra cheese or crispier fries. Super friendly service and a really cozy atmosphere, too. I brought the poutine home to have my grandparents try it, and they both loved it too. D...

You can tell that a lot of love was put into the food. I tried to pick a favourite, but it was honestly all equally delicious. We will defi...
