I ordered a small poutine to go, what a treat! I snapped a few pics but could not wait near the garbage cans as they REALLY needed to be changed! Didn't take too long and I was on my way. $6.75. Potion was ok. Good ratio of fries to cheese to gravy. The fries were for sure chip-truck tasting. Very thin but I liked that the skins are left on. I loved the saltiness of it. Daily/weekly specials. I'll try the loaded baked potato poutine next time. Or I'll come on a Tues when they have pad thai on the menu. Cool Truck!

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.

Kinda feels like a semi-permanent establishment. Smash Daddy Burger - A double patty of flattened beef was delicious. It was a melange of flavours that worked very well. I wish the patty was more crispy so that there is more texture in the patty. Naked Fries - The spiced fries were one of the best fries I've had. Fries were super crispy with fluffy interior. There was a good amount of seasoning on the fries making it tasty in flavour and texture. Would come back just for this!

I would come back again.

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.

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.

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.
