BEST CHIPS IN OTTAWA!…read more This is my second visit to Ottawa and last time I went to a few other places and this is definitely the best poutine I have had in Ottawa. The fires were crispy, the curds were squeaky and the gravy was delicious. Id also like to shout out the person who took our order; she was super friendly and asked me to share my thoughts after, which just made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. It's in a Canadian Tire parking lot, which just adds to the Canadian vibe. 5/5 amazing place!

I'm convinced this is the best poutine in the city. It's always relatively busy, but the wait is…read morenever too long. The fries are the perfect balance between crispy and soggy, and the amount of gravy is enough to achieve that while still having enough gravy on the fries on the bottom. Also, the cheese curds are super squeaky! I've tried other chip trucks but nothing seems to compare to crispy chips. There are a few picnic tables outside where you can sit, which is nice.

I really like their hamburgers and fries here…read more The bunderful burger is messy to eat but it's totally worth the 8 napkins you must continuously wipe your mouth after taking each bite. The fries are so tastey in whatever greasey oil they cook in. This is ultimate comfort food & worth every calorie. If you're still hungry, there are salty peanuts complimentary (sometimes) as well.

It was ridiculous and in fact makes me reluctant to go back. Even though we asked that they lower the volume, and they said they would, it really never happened. The experience was miserable.

Our first taste of Mary Brown's as we don't have one in the Bay Area. Turns out the day we went…read morewas National Fried Chicken Day so we couldn't resist getting two orders. We were surprised by how heavy the box was! The chicken was tender, hot and crispy! My only complaint is that they got our order of one spicy and one regular wrong even though I asked them specifically. I think cuz it was so busy they got a lot of orders wrong. I'd rate this my tied for my second favorite fast food fried chicken to date.

Edo Japan has come such a long way! It's a Canadian chain that sells Japanese food. It was founded…read morein 1979 and started off exclusively in mall food courts mainly just selling chicken and beef teriyaki on white rice. I used to hate it because it was mostly bean sprouts and onions (with some cabbage and carrots) with gristley meat on plain rice. So I avoided Edo for like 20 years, lol. However, recently one of my co-workers bought his lunch from there and it was a noodle bowl and looked delicious. I asked him where it was from and I was shocked when he said Edo Japan. They have totally expanded their menu, have stand alone locations now (of which this is one of them) and their food is pretty good for fast food, just a bit pricey imo. I got the Hawaiian Chicken Bento Box ($13.75). It came with my choice of 2 sides. I got Gyoza and California Rolls. The Hawaiian Chicken is chicken, pineapple, cabbage, broccoli and carrots on a bed of white rice (the menu said mushrooms were included, my meal for some reason did not have mushrooms). I got 2 Gyoza. The filling was ground pork. I got 4 California rolls. I asked for no sesame seeds and they were able to accommodate. The California rolls were grocery store quality sushi, so not that good. The filling was cucumber, avocado and an imitation crab salad (mixed with mayo). No masago. It was pretty flavourless. Gyoza were good. Fried from frozen, but to be expected of fast food joints. The Hawaiian Chicken was fried up to order. It was pretty tasty. I asked for their teriyaki sauce on the side and they gave me so much of it. I'm glad I didn't get the sauce on the food. It would have been way too wet and saucy for me. Service was very friendly and courteous. I'm so glad that I gave Edo Japan another chance. For Japanese fast food, they are pretty good. Obviously not as good as Japanese non-fast food, but you have to take places for what they are. This location is in College Square. It's next to Thai Express. Along the same side as Starbucks and BMO. Lots of free parking.

I wouldn't really recommend it but if someone's in the mood for a certain type of food like hotdog & such and I so happen to be near and A&W, I'd say this would be an option. That's my best way of describing this place without knocking it out. Service was non existent. There's a bunch of teenagers there. I can't say much about the ambiance or indoor setting.

I kept seeing the teen burger and since it is across the street from the hotel I am staying at... why not. I kept seeing the 24hr drive thru busy at all times. Surprising to see how busy it was inside as well. We have 1 in Brampton and it always looks slow. The drive thru there... service is so slow. Ok, so I ordered the teen burger, sweet potato fries and an ice tea. Once you pay, you take your drink to wherever your sitting. Someone brings the rest of your order. The burger was ... alright. Nothing great. I am intrigued to give the "beyond burger" a try next. The sweet potato fries was served in this neat mesh type basket... I saw regular fries being served with this too... it was good. Come with the chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Overall it was ok... the stars is for the neat... different experience.

Shawarma Palace might have to take the crown for the best shawarma in Ottawa!…read more As a Torontoian, we have decent shawarma but it doesn't compare to the shawarma in Ottawa. Whenever I'm in Ottawa, this is a spot you got to stop at. I admit it is pricer than other places but the service is friendly and efficient, things that you need at a booming place. At $30 for a mixed plate, I can't say it's cheap but it is filling. Prepare to have itis after and enjoy the massive amounts of protein. 4/5

The food is good ha) they are so apologetic strive to please. The restaurant is airy and it is very pleasant to sit by a window on Carling and enjoy the food in the clean restaurant. The portion of one plate is enough for me and my teen. We leave stuffed. It's a bit pricey but it's very flavourf, and not abundantly salty like Shawarma Prince on Merivale. The hardest choice is living between a mouthwatering wrap or a plate! I'm from Toronto and grew up on gyros (with fries in it!), shawarma and pitas but this place does a really good job keeping the meat juicy, sauces tasty and vegetables fresh.
