On our way to Ottawa, Pooh and I stopped here for breakfast It's a big place with three floors and TV screens surrounding us Service was quick and friendly. We started off with coffee Pooh ordered the breakfast gourmand and I ordered the breakfast burrito. My burrito was delicious. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the condiments were generous. Pooh's breakfast was tasty; the sausages were delicious without being salty but the bacon was a bit chewy. The breakfast potatoes were crispy No coffee refills A great place for breakfast read more

This place can accommodate a large number of people and they accept reservations. So it's great for group celebrations. They sing and have free ice cream for birthday celebrants. The have alcoholic beverages too - beer! Pizza, poutine, kids meal - you won't have a hard time picking because there's not much to choose from. Friend brought us here for our first time in Canada.

I literally stumbled upon this venue while looking for another. I have no idea how it is that I'd never heard of or been told about this place. It is very unique. Definitely wil require additional visits. For now, it becomes a part of my cheeseburger crusade. I was a little discombobulated as I mentioned this was not a planned destination. I ordered the cheeseburger after a couple of drafts - 22oz priced higher than my usual bottled quarts I went old school and had an Export. Good Ol'Molson X. As I said I ordered the cheeseburger & fries. In hindsight I would add ketchup and remove the green leaf (presumably Boston lettuce). Other than that I can't wait to go back and do it the way I should've. It was so good. And I know I can make it taste even better. Simple but on point. Almost met that childhood memory of a good burger on the Hibachi. What caught me off guard was the fries. These special delights made of babies dreams were EXCEEDINGLY GOOD. I have never had fries made this way or least made properly this way. I will have to have them again before they move to my #1 but they are close. I have since reviewed the place and menu online and will definitely be trying their eclectic menu in the coming months. P.S Apparently they have a huge patio. read more

Terrible food stay away from the so-called smoke meat sandwich meat was boiled ----cheeseburger a zero tasteless zero stars

It was fast food, like a TGI Fridays. It was okay. But maybe I didn't eat anything worth while? My Greek Salad was dressed well. The lettuce was fresh and the pieces were TOO big. But it was good. My hubby had nachos that I tasted. Meh... I make better ones at home. The Guac we paid extra for appeared to be like a mass produced kind, so not the right consistency. Our daughter's plate looked good, skewered chicken over rice, salad, and fries. She said it was good. Service was great, so I gave it a star for that, but it it was it is. It's a sports bar with okay food, great service, and an outside seating area. Parking was ample, and the bathrooms were mostly clean. read more

Your should mission, should you choose to accept it: to venture into Quebec to sample local culinary phenomenon "cretons", at the behest of Halifamous food blogger Eat This Town. Wait...cretons? Being the east coast anglophone that I am, this took some Googling. I mean, I'll try any food once, but I prefer knowing what I'm getting into before I do. I soon discovered that cretons is a Quebecois forcemeat along the lines of pate or liverwurst, a spreadable processed pork. Being the lover of meats in all its forms, whether on the bone, in a tube, or in the case, mashed up and spread on toast. My target was a Gatineau institution of sorts, apparently known for its cretons, La Station. Being that my apartment is in the Glebe, it was a bit of a trek to get to via public transit, but I enjoyed seeing a bit more of an area that I hadn't been through before. The restaurant itself is massive. A family restaurant/sports bar mash up with tons of booths and tables on split levels on the main floor, and more up on the mezzanine/second floor, although that was closed off at this time of day. The combined areas must seat close to 200, and the main level was still half full when I arrived shortly before breakfast ended at 11am on a weekday. The breakfast menu was fairly typical for a place like this, with omelettes, pancakes, and varying sorts of big breakfasts. One of the latter was my target, The Quebecer, as in addition to the usual eggs, meats, beans, home fries and toast, it came with a serving of cretons. Tacking on an extra order of cretons for good measure, and orange juice to drink, I was on my way. I was pleased that the orange juice was Tropicana and not an awful bottle of Fairlee, and even got gussied up a bit with a slice of orange to garnish the glass. My food came extremely quick, just minutes after ordering. The eggs were a perfect sunnyside up, with soft, but fully cooked, whites and big, runny yolks that begged to be sopped up by the toast and home fries. Said chunks of potato were wonderfully crisp and lightly seasoned, for all around solid home fries. I had went with breakfast sausage for my meat option, versus bacon or ham, and it did not disappoint. The skin was crispy, but not tough, and the meat inside juicy and packed the familiar breakfast sausage flavour that I love. The beans were a light brown, and were tender and slightly sweet. It may seem odd, but I am adamantly anti-roller toaster - those commercial monstrosities that toast bread on a conveyor belt. They definitely use one here as the signature burnt edges and surface are all too evident instead of a pleasant, even, golden brown of a good toaster. Luckily I had the aforementioned runny yolks to lend a hand, as well as the purpose of my visit, the cretons. Coming in small one ounce cups, the cretons was definitely not much to look at, though nor is its more high end brethren, pate and fois gras. An off-white/light grey colour, the meat spread easily on my toast, with just the odd bit of ground pork to distinguish it from a pure spread. It was very spreadable on my toast, although since I had a fair amount of it and wanted to try it on its own, I ended up eating some right out of the cups like a weirdo. It had a mild pork flavour that wasn't overtaken by the bits of onion it was minced with or its seasoning. Pleasantly salty, the seasoning was mild and hard to discern - a bit earthy, not particularly herbaceous. All told, it was like a slightly more oniony version of the liverwurst my grandfather used to have on his toast at breakfast, and I liked it. Service was great, friendly and didn't mind my English once I abandoned my meagre French vocabulary. They came to check in on me a couple times, and I saw wait staff going around for coffee top ups for the other patrons. It was cool to try a food that I hadn't heard of a week before this, and La Station pulled both the cretons and my breakfast as a whole off with flying colours.

I've been here many times and overall, the food is good but I doubt you'll have anything here that will blow you away. They have reasonable daily specials at lunch time that include a daily soup. I had a Cajun chicken Caesar salad with a cream of red pepper soup for 12.99 and it was one of the better tasting dishes I've had here and the price is excellent. I've got to say though that I always love their daily soups and they put a doily under the bowl which is the icing on the cake. I'm a sucker for a doily! Service is always excellent and it's a large place that can accommodate a lot of folks. They do wood fired pizzas here too. I haven't tried one yet but they look quite good. read more

I agree with other reviews that it is not as good since it burned and reopened. The atmosphere and food has become a little more generic. It remains a good spot to go for a family meal as there are lots of options ranging from pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, brochettes to steak and the portions are good. The restaurant is huge so rarely have we waited for a table. I was here for breakfast recently and there are good combinations available for all tastes. I was very satisfied with my choice of 2eggs, choice of meat with waffles covered in fruit and served with crème anglaise. Definitely a good place to bring the family. read more

Salad Deception (Thai Salad was KALE SALAD) NO THAI HERE! Kale, Red onion, 7 silvered red pepper slices, very tiny pineapple chunks, a tasteless tomato (white on the inside) with a commercial Thai sauce covering slices of chicken. A pinch of "FAKE orange noodles" we dug from the bottom plate, so few we had to ask for more. This was a very costly $16.00 deceptive kale salad. DO NOT ORDER any salads from this place. Our order of Quesadilla with chicken was good, but from $9.00 is was very small. read more

****UPDATED REVIEW***** I go there every time I stay at the Hilton by the casino. If you don't want to wait you absolutely have to make a reservation because on the weekend at dinner tome you can for sure have an hr wait. Best choice is the pizza Calabrese this is the best pizza I had EVER. Breakfast is good also, great portion and the price is pretty decent. I posted the original review 4 years ago and I have gone back any times after and had no complaints until I went on Tuesday on this week. Seems things have changed a little so I will drop a star. The service was not friendly like I am accustomed too. We didn't get anything we asked on the burger. We wanted tomorrow cabbage and onions and we got one with only lettuce. The crust on my pizza was so hard to cut because it was wet at the bottom and super hard at the crust. For me the service makes all the difference so even without the burger mistake I would of dropped that star. read more

Do not order take out but if you must check your order at the restaurant.They intentionally manipulate orders and leave out entrees because they are cheap. I ordered Fish and chips and poutine was the extra side.I pick up my order and the rude manager has the audacity to ask me if I had already paid worse was to come.I get to my house open the bag and there is dried greasy old fish with no fries.Look at the receipt and there is a charge for napkins and ketchup .Why would I need ketchup with no fries.I call the restaurant and the manager says I said no fries that is why I got poutine instead.I told her that was a lie fish and chips was the main meal.She then told me to go back and she would give me "my fries" or a refund.I went the next day and found a rude Arab woman who told me that I got what I paid for and that was it.She got in my face and clearly does not know what personal space is. The food is lousy and the management is lousier do not waste you hard earned dollars at this place.Daylight robbery and recycled food read more

Family and I came here after a long drive from Toronto and wow were we hungry! Came here upon recommendation from my roommate when I told her we wanted variety. This place did not disappoint as there were many options to choose from, from burgers, pizza, entrees, shareables and more! We got nachos, escargot, poutine with smoked meat, side of fries, and steak. Our server asked us if we wanted the dishes to come out as they were finished, but we just said to bring it all at once. I thought it was great that they asked! Even so, everything came out in a timely manner. Everything was pretty tasty! I was skeptical of the escargot (first time eating it) and it was sooo good! I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. My favourite was the poutine though! Would like to come back with friends for a drink or something! read more

Sad that it burned down a few years ago... I feel the fire took something away from it. Sometimes I feel the ambiance is cafeteria-like because of the high ceilings and low booths, but I still keep going back. Nevertheless, food is good and decently priced. Good breakfast choices also! read more

I have been eating here for over 15 years and I order only one item. The Smoke Meat Poutine. I have been mentioning this to the waiters/waitresses for over 5 years now and it is obvious they don't pass the message onto the manager or if they do, the manager doesn't care. $15.00 for a smoke meat poutine is quite excessive, however, a client chooses to eat here. The poutines are awesome, BUT THEY ARE EXTREMELY CHEAP when it comes to adding gravy. To add insult to injury, EVERY SINGLE TIME I ASK FOR extra gravy, I GET CHARGED $1.59 EXTRA??? SERIOUSLY??? Its not about the extra $1.59....its about the portion itself. Without the extra gravy, its just another poutine where I can get anywhere else. Seriously, I am trying it one more time. If this is the route they go, it is time to look for another restaurant that is more generous for the price. read more

I really enjoy la station and friends/family have joined me there for dinners every no and again. The food is good for what you get- although I find the options as far as vegetarians go, are limiting. Pizzas are great- so are the pastas... But a dish not necessarily reliant on bread? Perhaps? It might be a good option other than a Greek salad that is good- but only mediocre I find... Either there's not enough cheese/ vinaigrette and the olives are sparse.. It's good in general- their plates are yummy and service is good as well. Last time I went and was served very well by a waiter with glasses (sorry I don't recall your name)- who was very helpful (and deserves a 5 for attentiveness) All in all- not too shabby, or pricey- good. APPLE pie though was really yummy though... Mmm pie . read more

Every time I have a special occasion to attend I go to Station. Not only is the food amazing but the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is really nice too. I highly recommend it.

La Station - hmmmmm....I have mixed emotions about this place. We saw fairly good reviews from another review site and decided to try it out. It's in Quebec so we decided French food would be good. Someone said that the original place had burned down and they traded in their old look for a more "contemporary" style but my friend who was with me described this new style as...ahem..."The new Red Robin" - which isn't saying much. It had kind of a food chain feel. We had a decent meal and the staff was very nice but they were drilling holes in the wall while we were having our lunch which was very disturbing and everything looked kind of plasticky (I know that's not a word but it's what I felt was appropriate in this situation) and cheap. Not a very interesting place. The poutine was good though - very greasy - but I guess that's the point of the dish! read more

I liked it so much that I wrote a review when I got home. Where to start, we arrived with a party of eight (and a baby) and no reservation and the place was obviously busy. We were seated within 15 minutes. We had 4 kids with us, 2 of which we classify as picky eaters. Two kids ordered spaghetti and two pepperoni pizza. The spaghetti eaters finished their plates and one of them wanted more. The pizzas were not finished but both younger kids asked specifically if they could take the rest home. I ordered the station house lasagna with smoked meat. It was delicious and in such a large portion I couldn't finish it all. One of our friends ordered the poutine and said it was a cut above. The smoked meat sandwich and club sandwich ordered by the others were devoured as well. The kids got ice-cream with their meal. We also ordered desert (which I rarely do but I was hopeful as the main meal was so good) We ordered a chocolate eruption and the pecan pie. I had several bites of each and they were magnificent. (Bourbon flavoured filling in the pecan pie!) The server was very attentive to our requests and fixed anything in the least amiss. One child dropped a piece of food and it was swept up in minutes. Drinks were filled when empty. The meal was served all at once. Though the restaurant was full and he was busy, he stopped by at least five or six times during the meal. We gave the server a 20% tip. I hope they share their tips there, the cooking staff did a great job. read more

Wide variety of foods, good service, enough space and reasonable price. Everything good.

Good pleasant evening. Staff was attentive and courteous. Food was alright, you get what you pay for. Started with the nachos, they were a little over cooked but the secret hidden layer of cheese made up for it. My main was the 10 Oz sirloin. Blah... Should've paid 4.99 for the peppercorn sauce to give it some flavor. The vegetables on the side reminded me of steamed frozen veggies. read more

pretty meh, the inside looks very nice but the foods pretty average, pizza isint good, ribs are okay, fries are good. drinks are good but pretty pricey imo. waiter was very slow and served us the wrong food but didnt have time for it to be corrected. also waited a very long time for our check. read more

On Labour Day, everything in town was closed for the holiday - even many restaurants. But, we noticed our neighbour coming in with a take-away bag from somewhere. We asked him where he got the food and he told us he had simply crossed over into Quebec, where no one there recognizes the holiday. Everything was open. We balked at first because we thought Quebec was so far away (hey, we were only new in town) and our neighbour assured us that good food was only a few minutes away. Turns out you just cross the Ottawa River and there you are. Our neighbour recommended La Station - mostly for its deli sandwiches. Apparently it is one of the best places around for Montreal smoked meat sandwiches (kosher too!). But, when my wife and I arrived at La Station, we opted for pasta. I had a TERRIFIC spaghetti bolognaise and my wife had a pasta with cream sauce that had huge chunks of bacon. Both meals were delish, but supposedly you have to order the sandwiches when you eat at La Station. The atmosphere was very hip, the staff was very helpful and bilingual and the prices were moderate. The portions were huge and, like I said, they were very tasty. Please - do try La Station if you are in Ottawa. It may be in Hull, but it is literally only minutes away. read more
