So I have heard many comparisons of Markie's to Schwartz's in Montreal. Although I would say that…read morethe smoked meat at Markie's is good, it is not Schwartz's good, lol. So I got the Combo #1 which is a jumbo smoked meat sandwich, fries, coleslaw, a pickle and a can of pop for $15.99. I like that the meat was lean, but it didn't have that firm texture that I like with smoked meat, it had a more deli meat texture. Nonetheless it was flavourful and smelled delicious. I wouldn't describe the sandwich as jumbo, but it was an ok size, not small. The rye bread was fresh and the amount of mustard on the sandwich was acceptable (not too much, but not skimpy). I really enjoyed the fries, which were really crispy. The coleslaw was regular mayo-based coleslaw. Service was friendly. There are a few tables to dine in. This location has been many restaurants over the years. Prior to Markie's it was a Greek place called Babinos (which was so good, I was disappointed that they closed), and prior to that it was a sandwich shop called Robz (was meh IMO), and prior to that it was a Chinese takeout joint called Ho-Lee-Pow (never tried), and before that it was a location of the famous Chinese takeout chain Ho-Lee-Chow (didn't need to try, lol). It's been 5 different places over the last 13 years. When I started writing this I thought the turnover was high, but now that I think about it, I guess it not too bad. The location is in a strip mall with a few other food places (Mr Sub, Gabriel Pizza and Shish Kabab House). Lots of free parking.

You would never know that this barbecue place was hidden in an office park. My family ordered a…read morefamily barbecue platter from this place. We got the signature pulled pork and premium pork ribs. For sides, we got the tater tots, pasta salad, and corn bread. Both the pulled pork and pork ribs were very tender. The tater tots and corn bread were good. I was very surprised with the pasta salad which was made with elbow macaroni, and red onions. It was delicious! One of the best pasta salads I have had for a while.

Best BBQ on the planet…read more I've been to a lot of barbecue joints in the US but I haven't had anything that's as good as the barbecue here. I did the takeout and chose beef brisket and a pulled pork sandwich and they were amazing. I like that they pay attention to every detail. Everything is top notch from the buns they use on the sandwich to the salads, coleslaws and fresh cut fries. No sloppy sides here. I hear the onion rings are to die for. Another thing I liked about this place is everything isn't drowning in barbecue sauce. It's so hard to get pulled pork that isn't swimming in sauce. They just put a little bit on the bun which was perfect. You actually got to taste the meat and as you'd expect, the sauce itself was ridiculously good.

I heard from a friend about Wiser Meats and decided to try them out. We placed an order and within the week it was delivered to us in a huge cooler bag with a smile! The chicken was packed the way we like it making thawing an easy chore and the meat tastes amazing. There is no water in the chicken and no strange smells like most people are used to from buying at the grocery store. I recommend this company hands down and have been dealing with them for well over a year now and always go back. Thanks Wiser Meats! You are amazing! **Update, I do live in Ottawa.. not sure why it suggests another location :(

When I went to return the remainder, turns out this address listed is 100% fake!! The thing about the internet is it can make any business look legitimate.

After looking him up, it looks like he has either created dozens of fake accounts to bolster this illegal hustle or is using his church zealots to support him.

There is a station you can grab items for your bowl and they make it for you after. We tried the mild spicy bowl and it was...

Over the past two years I've been introduced to Lebanese and Italian cuisine thanks to my…read moreboyfriend's families. The best of both worlds I say! Al-Oumara just opened a year ago (I believe) and since then, they've grown from a 2-3 person team to more than 7 people. Although Lebanese food was introduced years ago with the Shwarma food chains, Al-Oumara provides customers with a Schwarma take-out counter, but with more delicious options and platters. A mini grocery store, customers can buy freshly butchered meat, freshly made pre-packed or bulk salads and spreads, desserts, and I've even become acquainted to their beverages including Bonjus that comes in a triangular juice box and Kazouza a sparkling juice drink. I'll never forget the couple of times when they gave me a free dessert on the house or when they gave me pita bread from their bakery because they were sold out on their shelves. A family owned and run business that makes you feel like you're part of the family.
