The dumplings are divine and have an amazing balance of flavour and texture. The beef tacos are good but pricey for the size, ($14 for three). We also tried the edamame (not pictured) which was great, not spicy as advertised but great flavour either way. Drinks and service are always top tier, haven't had a bad experience yet. Great spot to go before a game at TD place or watch the game there. Great atmosphere for a fun date night or a get together with friends. Even better in the summer when the patio is bumping.

Waitress came over gave us her name and asked ours (nice personal touch). We ordered a beer each and decide to order our Mai's at same time. Place was swamped and there was a line outside to come in. Our waitress (Roni) was kind enough to help with our selections and even offered up some recommendations. She came around 2 times to be sure everything was good The 4 stars are solely for 2 items that were beyond the control of our waitress. First my partner asked for salad instead of fries and requested dressing to be on the side. The salad arrived dressed but not a heavy dressing so it was fine. Secondly , I ordered the veggie burger which was delicious in flavor. The issue was it was not seared off so had texture of mushy beans. Hard to handle in a bun. But very tasty Both complaints are minor but do prevent a 5 star rating.

After shopping up a storm at various stores in the vicinity, I looked up and saw a Kelseys. I…read moredecided to drive over there on a hot summer day. There were folks on the patio. I wanted air conditioning. I walked in and was promptly seated at a table by the window, looking at the patio. It's nice to feel like I'm out on the patio, but I'm not. My server decided to greet me two tables away. That's just downright odd. He wasn't even staring at me when he did that. He didn't really talk at a normal voice throughout my stay. I suppose that since there were many older folks at this restaurant, he had to raise his voice to be heard. Frankly, I could have heard him across the restaurant with the music blasting. It was a huge turnoff, even though I'm sure Peter is a lovely person when he isn't serving folks in their sixties and older. Anyway, I ordered a Diet Pepsi and got it with a lime wedge. I was so thirsty that I eventually got a refill and downed most of it. I ordered my usual, which was New York-style wings with sea salt and black pepper. It comes with veggie sticks and ranch dip. My wings were good, except that it felt like someone went crazy with the black pepper shaker. Hey, I could have dipped my wings in a container of black pepper, too. The veggies were a nice contrast and were crisp. For dessert, I gave the chocolate berry cake with vanilla ice cream. By the time this dessert was given to me, the vanilla ice cream has slid to the plate's edge. The cake was okay. I wouldn't get it again, though. I'd sooner have the ice cream! This Kelseys is simply average. I have had better at other locations. I was pleased to get my SCENE card swiped. I collected 15x the points. There's the silver lining visiting this Kelseys. (282)

We had not gone to a Kelsey's in awhile since we had always considered it to be more for young families. Seeing what was available, it only reinforced that even more. There was a lot of kid friendly choices.Fortunately, we opted for more of an adult choice: Nachos with avocado and tomato sauce and battered fish. We placed our order on the mobile app.(This is a great time saver when ordering during this exceptional time). We called in to this restaurant who told us it would take at least 1 hour. So we had timed our arrival so that our meals would still be warm when we took them back home. Only one criticism, you couldn't text them to say we were in the front of the restaurant. We had to present ourselves to the front entrance to pickup our meals...and we waited about another 10 minutes. I think this is more due to the fact that pickups and curbsides was still something new and the limited staff seemed overwhelmed. To our surprise, it tasted pretty good. Even better with our Organic beers from LCBO. $$

I got the breakfast with meat and pancakes. Everything was good. Service was fast. It was a week before Christmas on a Thursday and the restaurant was packed.

Everything else was great.

It's always been a special morning when we got Broadway for breakfast. They're a similar restaurant to Zak's Diner; with great food and their signature Homefries (that could sometimes use a bit more seasoning). You can get their Homefries anytime, even after breakfast, but their quality isn't as good as fresh in the morning. On top of just the food, the have amazing service. The staff is always happy for a quick chat or there for a good recommendation. In terms of speed, it depends on when you come, but provided you know what you want, it can be as little as 5 minutes (the time it'd take to drive to the store). Now to the Ambiance. The place is inspired by NYC's Broadway (specifically their Musicals) so the restaurant's walls are decorated accordingly. Overall, this is one of my favourite restaurants in all of Ottawa, and probably my favourite one for eating breakfast. My only qualm is asking that the Homefries receive more seasoning, but that is something so minor that it shouldn't result in the loss of a star from my review, and similarly it only really happens when I order takeout. Edit: I forgot to mention that from what I've seen, the owners are great people. Some of their staff have worked for over 10 years (some over 20), and they still have good things to say of their bosses (the staff, I mean), which is not something you tend to see. Also, this place is locally owned and operated.
