    a car parked in front of a restaurant

    This is a generous 4 star review so be warned. I felt too bad to give a 3. You get good size helpings of what you order, as expected for the price you pay. The food quality is 4/5 stars, at least at the time of writing. It is fast food and quick to arrive so checks all the basics. If this is all you are interested in read no further. I pretended to be unsure of what I wanted when ordering to asses if the staff would suggest anything or help me out. Sadly they were unable to assist making for an awkward and silent wait while I decided what to do with a couple people waiting patiently behind me and staring at me. After my order was ready your name is called and that is the end of the process. No serviettes or condiments are added to your order so if you leave you have no way of eating it or any sauces/salt or a way to clean your hands. I would expect to be asked if I need anything or have the basics (paper serviette) at least added to the order in case you grab and go. The cleanliness of the location was sub par. Very average. I also checked the washroom - apparently cleaned at 11 but at 11:20 was unused and not clean. Drywall has missing paint where a mirror has been ripped off and in addition the lock on the male washroom lock did not work. Female washroom was no better with litter on the floor etc. Staff should ensure workplace cleaning is done correctly before standards slip too far as this can degrade food quality also if general cleanliness is not of utmost importance. Overall its not a 5 star location. 3 on a bad day. 4 on a good day. Hopefully they can improve this and be serious.

    Line up snaking around the store.

    I knew it would be good. Hell, I knew it would be GREAT. I've often traveled to Kingston from Barrhaven to get my chicken fix. My friends and family always think I'm nuts to travel 90 minutes to get my chicken fix. Surely it can't be THAT good? For fast food fried chicken, I have not had better. When I found out that Mary Brown's was finally coming back to Ottawa, to say I was thrilled would be an understatement. The Kanata location opened on January 11, 2019. I decided to go on the 12th - a SATURDAY. Waited almost an hour in line. Was it worth it. YUP. Will I return, even if the line-up is that long? YUP. Impressed at how the staff did not get flustered with the sheer number of people waiting to be served. Other chicken joints get bent out of shape if there are more than 3 people in line. As I drove home with a huge smile on my face, I snacked on the Chicken Popins while the family feast stayed warm in the back seat. Waiting in line made me hungry!

    The smoked meat is great, and I'm not a huge smoked meat fan. It is thick and lean, comparable to…read morethe famous places in Montreal. The fries were also nice real fries and lots of them. Not cheap but still good value for a jumbo sandwich. I will try the ruben next time. Service was super friendly and helpful. Nice guys at this location!

    This is a solid 3.5 star experience, which I'm rounding up to 4 stars until such a time as we can…read moredo half-star reviews in Yelp (no time soon, I suspect). I've wanted to try this restaurant for years, but only made it now. I love corned beef / smoked meat, but I don't eat it that often. Generally I don't or try not to eat processed food that often, which of course smoked meat is. Too bad coz I get the craving for it more often than I eat it!! There are 2 Markie's I Ottawa; the other is on Carling. This location is in a plaza with a TD bank, Shoppers Drug, a Freshii, and Willy's, among other businesses. Markie's gets a lot of take out business, but they do offer a few tables for eat-in, like your usual fast food setup. You go to the counter and choose your options (ie: no waiter service). We each ordered a large #1, smoked meat on rye, which comes with fresh fries and a canned drink, and a side of coleslaw with a pickle spear, the slaw was very good! It's a diner experience, not 5-star cordon bleu, and the food hit the spot. My 2cents: I like a denser rye bread. This bread was finally big enough to hold so much meat, but it was so soft that it fell apart as I was eating the sandwich. It's no Schwartz' but that's a mighty high standard! And this is closer than Montreal. I would go back.

You get to choose your bread (and I believe there is no extra charge for gluten-free bread), cheese, up to 3 meats, unlimited vegetables and unlimited sauces. I got the hoagie, which was like a soft submarine bread, with Havarti cheese, chicken, turkey and ham, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, black olives, pickles, cucumbers, hot eggplant, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and arugula. No sauce (I prefer a drier sandwich, lol). The man who made my bread was super nice. And they have very good sanitation practices. Food preparers wear gloves. The man prepped my bread, meats and cheese, and then put it in the toaster, since I asked to have it toasted. Then he cashed out the lady ahead of me. Then I saw him change his gloves before he came back and finished preparing my sandwich. I wished all restaurants followed these practices. Bravo! The sandwich was cut in half, and I ate half and brought the rest home to my husband, who also thoroughly enjoyed it. My only complaint, and it's totally on me for choosing the toppings, but it was a bit too salty with the black olives, pickles, eggplant AND sun-dried tomatoes. I might just go with the eggplant and skip the other 3 next time. Ingredients tasted fresh. The sandwich was much tastier than at those fast food chains. It's a takeout only joint, located in a strip mall. Lots of free parking in the strip mall.

    Yum! I love the Mucho Burrito in our neck of the woods (their Baseline and Merivale location), and…read morefigured the one in Kanata would probably be a good choice for lunch. I decided to forego my usual chicken quesadilla for one of their salad bowls and was so glad I did. The salad bowls come in whole wheat or white and are a good size. The price includes guacamole which is nice since I'm a guac FIEND and love theirs. I went with the chicken and threw on some beans, salsa and ranch sauce. It was simply delish and just enough food. I also got a side of their corn chips with salsa and guacamole (told you - fiend), the boyfriend got a steak burrito and enjoyed it as well. He loves that they have different hot sauces to try out as well. So yes, this is a fast food chain, but it's my new favourite. It kills any fast food burger joint and is a nice switch from Subway. This spot wasn't as clean or as nicely kept as the Baseline location, but it's older so perhaps that's why. Our meal, along with two canned drinks came to about $22. Pretty decent for the fresh ingredients and awesome service. Another awesome Mucho Burrito experience!

    I'm not sure why but I liked this place better when it first opened. The burritos were never…read morefantastic but they were ok. If you want a fresh non vegetarian burrito I'd recommend going during the lunch rush as they're grilling all their meats at that time. If you just miss the rush there is a possibility the grilled meat will sit for a bit in the trays. I find the burritos bland the last few times I was here. I've tried all of the burritos and the carne and pulled pork were at one time pretty decent. The only thing that is annoying is they can't make a burrito for a size properly. Depending on who's working your large might end up as the same size as my medium and that's no big deal for me but I know some people get annoyed when they pay the difference only to get a burrito pretty much the same size as the one under it with more tortilla. They do have hot sauces at some of the counters and you can take them to your tables. The hot sauces aren't bad here.
