Prices tend to be on the expensive side especially when buying a prime cut of steak but the meat is top quality, so give them a try. I'm sure you'll be pleased. Also inside is Vera's Burgers. One of the best hamburgers in Ottawa. My buddy Brian and I go there several times a year and enjoy the great food. I'm upset that they stopped selling Coke in the glass bottles. That was a nice touch. Drive out to Bells Corners and enjoy Vera's and the Butchery. Cheers! Zee Mitchell

I just discovered The Butchery. What a revelation!…read more The shop is clean and attractive, with a very long display of many dozens of cuts of meat, many marinated. I bought a marinated flank steak that was amazing on the BBQ tonight. They also carry some great sauces, including my favourite Rufus and Teague Blazing Hot sauce. You can buy frozen pies from The Big Apple, which are the best pies around. They have a burger shack inside....sadly I was too early. Some other time. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the boss a really good man. This was a great discovery and I will happily drive the 25 km to get there. Very highly recommended.

Just another 5 star update. 2nd visit only but used the on line ordering system this time. That is…read morehit and miss at most places but it worked out great and I'd use it again here. I had to pay upon ordering, cringed but left a tip as how do I know it will be great, right?! Paid with Visa and made it right to the place at the 15 min mark. It was ready to go. Killed me not to get fries but trying to be Spring-body ready! Haha! Just a hamburger, no cheese, loaded with veg and only hot sauce as a condiment. Love their raw onion. I tried on line as I was between appointments and inside the resto takes time to make. This just worked out and I'm so tempted to order another one. ;) I live too close to here!

It always comes down to the fries..... I thought the burgers were decent and were.....burgery…read more Let's talk about the fries, they weren't crispy on the outside and velvety on the inside like we all want a delicious fried potato to be. The texture was the same throughout and I might even venture to say that the fries are actually far below average. I got the Cajun fries so I might want to try the regular ones before I write of their fries forever. Service was great - very quick and everyone was really nice. There is one thing that will bring me back here- it's the peanuts! These peanuts that are given away for FREE in an all-you-can-eat format were actually some of the best peanuts I've had! Next time I come, I am going to see if they have onion rings. For a place that specializes in just two things, they got to get their fries right.

They have a small patio but with the size of our group we sat inside. I truly appreciate how accommodating they were to fit us all. It was super busy and people were lined up to eat here. Despite all this the appetizers were fast to come to the table and the food didn't take that long either. The servers are very polite and helpful. But they have an issue with water hehehe although it's free but I wish they can put empty glasses on the table and maybe a water jug cause they kept bringing them one by one and it was hard asking for refills. Other than that the food was amazing with 20 people there was a huge variety of dishes and every thing was delicious. We ended the dinner with 2 large kunafas and tea and that was great too. Reasonable prices and awesome service. Definitely will be back!

I ordered a small poutine to go, what a treat! I snapped a few pics but could not wait near the garbage cans as they REALLY needed to be changed! Didn't take too long and I was on my way. $6.75. Potion was ok. Good ratio of fries to cheese to gravy. The fries were for sure chip-truck tasting. Very thin but I liked that the skins are left on. I loved the saltiness of it. Daily/weekly specials. I'll try the loaded baked potato poutine next time. Or I'll come on a Tues when they have pad thai on the menu. Cool Truck!

Our visit absolutely confirmed their perceptions--wow!!! Based on our experience we'll add an additional x15+++ to their 'rave' sentiments. A dedicated a top notch team effort from reservation, meal and final wrap up! The food, venue, the entire Cheshire Cat Pub Team working in unison made for an outstanding birthday celebration experience!

To the The Cheshire Cat Pub...your teamwork and dedication to excellance is commendable. Kudos to all of you.

Maybe a 3.5 star if only I could give half-stars. For the overall experience. We have had Papa…read moreSam's before, but it's been a while, and we are now comparing current pizza competition in the 'hood, for price, quality, service, and to see how well they stand behind their advertising. That last point for this experience really bites! Down one full star for this experience!! We were drawn to Papa's because of local advertising, so I called. At the end of placing my order, the man who answered said, "in Kanata"... nope! We completely blanked on that - I didn't even notice the ad specifically stated Kanata, when we wanted the Stittsville location. I hadn't fully realized they had 2 locations until then! The bad experience was with the Stittsville location; they charged about $5 more for the same pizza, saying "all the prices have gone up!" Yay for you, not so much for me!! But for now, supporting local, you got me once. So this pizza was $31, taxes in. Almost double the Milano's special!! Yikes! On the upside, they did allow me to change one item at no extra (I don't like green peppers), and they threw in 2 cans of pop at no charge. Great! As for the pizza itself, we got what papa's calls XL, but to us this is the same size as Large at Milano's, so it's bigger than Domino's, and also had more of everything on it than Domino's. Papa's considers chicken to be a premium topping, so they charge more for it (we didn't get it today). I might add that Chicken is included at Milano's. So how good was the pizza? The bottom line it was ok, but not stellar. I've been looking for pizza crust that is light and airy and full of bubble-pockets, instead of too thick. That's not what we got here. However, it wasn't too thin or too thick. The pizza was covered with ingredients (waaay better than Domino's!) On the downside, I didn't love the pepperoni on it; I like it more like salami that's not too hard and chewy. This is sort of like bologna... and just about as exciting :-( Lastly, the service: ummm... leaves a bit to be desired. First of all, they don't respect advertised specials at both locations, which is really unfortunate. That will affect future purchases at Papa's either location. Secondly, the Stittsville location is in like an old house, and the sidewalks are not well shovelled. I walked past an open door that wasn't the entrance, to hear loud (Lebanese?) music blaring!! When I did get in to pick up my pie, the music was gratefully turned down, and the pie was ready. However, the fellow serving started in on the personal questions: "Do you know what your name means? Heaven!" And "I love your hair!" Geez, I love the compliments, but did not expect them!!

I'm usually not a huge fan of chain pubs, but my husband and I were getting together with his…read moresisters and their husbands and we were looking for a place with a sizeable patio and free parking, and close to someone's home, so we ended up at the Stittsville Royal Oak. Not all Royal Oaks are equal, some are certainly better than others. Overall, I would say this one was better than some. We were meeting later in the evening, so my husband and I already had dinner, so we just shared the Haddock Dippers ($9) and Sweet Potato Fries ($9). I also got a Strawberry Dream ($6.50) and my husband got a few Guinesses ($9.55 each). The Haddock Dippers came 4 per order. They were fairly small and more batter than fish, but the batter was crispy and they didn't taste like Captain Highliners at least. The fish came with tartar sauce. The sweet potato fries were thin and lightly battered. I enjoyed them, but just found the quantity lacking. The portion was really small, especially for $9. They came with a chipotle mayo dipping sauce. The Strawberry Dream was like a virgin strawberry daiquiri. It was good, but way too sweet for me, no surprise though, as I find most drinks way too sweet, lol. Service was alright. The patio was a good size. I like that we weren't close to other occupied tables. They have a table with a firepit in the middle, which I thought was cool. There were lots of mosquitoes out through, so be sure to put on bug repellent if you're out there in the evening. It's a chain pub and definitely meets the standards of such. Even in today's economy though, I found the portion sizes small. Lots of free parking in their private lot.

It has been under newer ownership for about the past 2 years, and I only just found out about it recently - through the Stittsville News (boy oh boy do I miss those community newspapers! Shame on them for closing!) It's not a fancy place, with cement floors, but they have art for sale on the walls, which brightens the place up a bit. The pace is cozy and casual and seems to attract many regulars. I would like to get my little group of knitting friends to meet here at least occasionally. Shopping local really works!
