    the front of the restaurant
    Nicole L.

    I love this place. I've only been once but I can't wait to go back. It's a small place with lots of character and a menu with loads of choices. My brother ordered a hot chicken sandwich. It looked so good, I was envious watching him eating it so I tasted the gravy and was blown away by how good it was. He said it was the best hot chicken he's ever had. It had a loads of chicken in it and as I said the sauce was out of this world and it was served with hand cut fries and veggies. My mother and I split a club sandwich that was also super delish. I've driven by this place 1000 times and I always thought it was just a pizza place but it's so much more. Speaking of which they have an extensive pizza menu. Service was excellent.

    the outside of the restaurant

    I was treated to this restaurant for lunch by a new friend who is currently living in Ottawa. It was pretty cool to meet up with him at the 2016 Ottawa marathon race weekend. First things first, It's kind of weird and fun to point out that this place is associated with Elvis Presley, as the sign on the wall of the outside of the restaurant proclaims. Another sign says that they make the world's greatest pizza ever, a claim that's really bold and sometimes controversial. Maybe Canada's best or Ottawa's best, but there was some debate as to what is really world's best, especially compared to Rome, Italy and various places in the United States (i.e. Chicago and New York, of course). My new friend from Ottawa had suggested this place and I was like, okay, what's better than pizza? Off we went. This place was about a 10 minute drive from the Shaw Centre, so that's not too bad. We arrived here around 12:15pm and it was not really busy. Better for us, since we didn't wait too long. The overall experience here was good, positive, but average. Did like the ambiance of a good ol fashion diner with good service. It was casual and quiet comfortable. We ended up sitting in the back with the many photos on the wall. The Newport restaurant is located at 322 Churchill Avenue North in Ottawa. It's a simple restaurant and/or diner in a residential neighborhood type setting. Parking can be simple here, street parking where you can find it. I'm pretty sure that there's public transit service going through here, but I'm a tourist here and it's nice to be able to have a car. There's always Uber to take you around. They accept major credit cards, so that's a good deal to have. They somehow are an authority on best pizza ever, so we decided to do just that. Prices here were decent enough to where we just split a Medium pizza and I ordered medium fries / potato wedges for good measure. Id like to think that those fries were cooked just for me. They were really good, complete with ketchup all over the place, just kind of like hitting the spot kind of good. Definitely satisfying after a few days of sightseeing in Ottawa. My time here at the Newport restaurant was brief, probably at most an hour or so for a nice lunch with a new friend. The server was very nice and we made small talk about the weather and it lead to conversation about running the marathon the next morning. It was fun that way. Even at the table further away, we overheard these older ladies about tomorrow's marathon and how it was going to be warm to borderline hot. What got me was that one of the ladies said "how far is a marathon?". I wanted to get up and say something, but I just let it go. I forgot to take photos of the menu, so I don't know what we ordered. I did take a photo of the pizza and the French fries; so that's some redeeming quality. For what it's worth, the pizza was good and delicious, but not sure if it measures up to "world's best", as they are claiming. The cheese on the pizza was satisfying and it just oozes with perfection in your mouth. The fries, as aforementioned before, was great and it's not fast food French fries you normally see at McDonald's or Burger King. I do love these types of French fries / potato wedges. The overall experience here was - as decent as they come. The restaurant itself was clean and had some bits of homespun charm and personality I've seen elsewhere in America. If you love pizza as much as the next guy, feel free to check this place out and make your own decision whether or not this place serves up the world's best pizza. While the pizza my friend and I did have was delicious, I probably would rate the pizza itself as a 4 out of 5 stars. Not the world's best, but it was the best for that day. 4.5 stars for the entire experience. Support local! B+

    Newport rocks! Thin crust, crispy on bottom and equally crispy on top, generous toppings, definitely one of Ottawa's best. The service was great, they were super friendly and welcoming.

    The Short Version: Burgers and fries place. Smash burger was…read moretoo salty for my liking. Chicken burger was delicious. Fries portion was generous. The Long Version: My husband and I had lunch here. We shared a cheeseburger ($9.50), a chicken sandwich ($12.95) and an order of fries ($5). The cheeseburger was a smash burger with cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and their burger sauce. There was too much sauce for my liking and the meat was too salty for my tastes, but other than that the burger was ok. The meat was smashed really thin and the edges were crispy. We enjoyed the chicken sandwich more. The chicken sandwich had a breaded chicken breast, coleslaw, pickles and chicken sauce. We got ours medium spice. It wasn't spicy at all, lol. The chicken was a good thickness and was tender and moist. We enjoyed this more than the cheeseburger. I liked that the bun they use is a plain bun without seeds in it. The buns were soft. The fries were a good portion size. I'm glad we shared one portion. They were hot and crispy and had the skins on. They were regular cut, not skinny, but not too thick. You order at the cash register, pay and they give you your order number. When your food is ready they call out your number and bring it to your table if you're dining in. When you're done, you throw out your own garbage and stack the empty tray on top of the garbage area. Service was pleasant and the food didn't take long. There are seats inside to dine in and also seats on the patio out front. There's a single universal washroom that is wheelchair accessible for the entire restaurant. Since the restaurant is small, I feel this was sufficient. It was clean. Street parking or paid parkade parking only. Review #187 (2025)

Cool place with some front window seats, 4 booths and a larger table that fits 10 or so people. Their specialty looks to be a juicy lucy aka patty stuff with cheese the melts when you cook it. I ended up getting a cheeseburger combo. The burgers are good. They're in tough competition with some really good burgers down the street...which are about $10+ more expensive though. Combo your meal for $4 which gives you fries and drink. I enjoy the fries as well. They also have some interesting sides like tornado fries, poutine, sweet potato fries and a few others which I think you can upgrade to. I'll be back to try other things but wanted to put it in your radar if you're in the area.

I didn't even know this was a thing before I stepped into this restaurant. The lovely lady at the front explained that it's essentially a halal way to have bacon, and it is pretty similar. Not quite bacon, but a good alternative. We added it to our burger but I ate it separately to get the full experience. I would go back here! Not sure I would add the bacon, but I would certainly enjoy a burger again.

    I just discovered The Butchery. What a revelation!…read more The shop is clean and attractive, with a very long display of many dozens of cuts of meat, many marinated. I bought a marinated flank steak that was amazing on the BBQ tonight. They also carry some great sauces, including my favourite Rufus and Teague Blazing Hot sauce. You can buy frozen pies from The Big Apple, which are the best pies around. They have a burger shack inside....sadly I was too early. Some other time. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the boss a really good man. This was a great discovery and I will happily drive the 25 km to get there. Very highly recommended.

    Don't come here hungry! Wow!…read moreThis popped up when I plugged in 'butcher' near me. 15 min away. My first visit was a Sat. So busy! And for good reason. I was blown away by all the meat, the prepared goods. Burger counter. Some seating. Freezer choices. Some dried goods, bread. I got away with Chorizo, some lean ground beef and some beautiful olive oil. Is this place cheap? No! But, I pay for quality without batting an eye. Especially foodie stuff. Next round was a Tuesday aft. Ahhh. Better. I could see everything, not so packed. It was just after a long weekend so some things were sold out but I grabbed more lean beef, a chicken parm portion, a beef Jamaican patty and a stuffed potato. All were good! The chicken portion from the fresh cabinet was $11.50! More than my lb of ground beef! But it was a filling piece and fed me x 2. I love this place.

I've not returned until now. Went there last night with a group of 6 adults, specifically because they have Gluten Free options. While service was great and the food was overall find for the price, I'm struggling. My salad was mediocre - nothing special or exciting about it. My chicken burger was good, but - again - nothing special. I don't think anyone walked away with a 'that was the best burger ever' kind of feel. One person really liked their poutine while another person found their poutine had stale fries. A burger eater also noted stale fries. I want to be clear - a 3 star in Yelp is 'A-OK' and that's what this is. It's not special in my mind. It is a good location to eat with friends and have a drink. Decor is pleasant a bit more unified than when they first opened, with better use of space. We loved our waitress.

I was only in Ottawa for the weekend, but I got nuggets from G Burger not once, but TWICE. They're good, trust me.
