The portions are huge, the bread is always fresh, and they stack the toppings like they actually care about feeding you. The staff is chill, quick, and they always get the order right. No matter what I grab -- cold cut, chicken, whatever -- it always slaps. You can't beat the value and consistency. If you want a legit fire sandwich with real portions and zero disappointment, this is absolutely the spot. Five stars, easy.

We were beyond happy to find Schnitzel Works! It is one on my fave fried food that is so enjoyable. If you have a proper schnitzel it is not greasy at all. It is light, crispy and not insanely heavy. SW is all that then some! The piece of pork ~German style I had was gargantuan. Crispy, nice breading not too salty and I had the gravy with mushrooms to dip it in. Wow. It was awesome! Came here during October 21-Covid times and it was take out only which is totally fine! A great east end Ottawa gem that I will definitely love to return back to try more of the country different styles. Giddy up!

The wife and I were browsing Uber Eats and came across this place…read more Let me describe this hidden little gem in one word. Delicious I got the Italian hero sandwich and the wife got the turkey pesto and we shared a regular fry and a dip. Both sandwiches were amazing. Great portion size and deeply flavourful. Like I mentioned we got the regular fry and the bag was basically overflowing with fries. The first were chunky fresh cut and seasoned perfectly. Like a lot of the reviews have stated this place is more of a to go location and to be honest that's more than okay. The owners definitely know the meaning of value for money. And I will for sure be coming back. This restaurant is a must try. Enjoy!

I showed up around lunch and was initially surprised by how tiny the joint is. But the sandwich menu sure looked promising, so I ordered a couple to go and asked the guy to select the bread he thought would go best. My favorite was the #3 ("Prosciutto ham, spicy capicollo, calabrese soppressata, Havarti cheese"). It's one outstanding sandwich. All the ingredients work so well together, and the fresh bread is the perfect vehicle. The copious, delicious butter is the icing on the cake, basically. The #11 ("Roast beef, herbs Havarti, lettuce") is good too, no doubt about it. The roast beef is really flavorful and the other components are a perfect accompaniment. I can see why this joint's been around so long. It's great.

I do frequent this location from time to time and the building does need some maintenance and a good deep clean. This location is probably the second busiest location that I have ventured into, aside from Bank street. The interior is starting to show some wear and tear. The last time that I was here, which was early December of this year, the whole entrance, leading up the cash was a puddle. They had a fan next to the cash/display case to try and air out the restaurant. There was dried splatter on most of the art on the wall. Bathrooms were lacking hand soap and not clean. The restaurant did not feel clean. Service was friendly, ,bagel was fine. They have added some new items to the menu, like tater tots, which were really hard, burnt and just not good. They also reduced the size of the pickles that they serve with the bagels to a sliver. Its quiet humorous. It used to be a quarter of a pickle (Take a look at my past photos that I uploaded). If you are in the area, and craving a bagel, they do make some of the best in the city, but best to grab them and bring them home.

Nice, faint crunch on the exterior, soft interior with still some bite to make it a delicious bagel. We enjoyed the classic kettlemen bagel sandwich which had smooth cream cheese, salty capers and rich and fatty smoked salmon. Everything worked really well with the fresh bagel. 5/5. We also tried the oven roasted chicken bagel sandwich. The chicken was okay, it works as a sandwich but not my favorite. 4/5 but the bagel carries this. Price is not bad for lunch meal.

First time trying this place out - I'm a fan of sandwiches and regularly eat at Subway or Jersey…read moreMike's in the USA so had a certain basis to compare it to. Firehouse is really a step above! I love the theme of the place, the easy menu ordering options and variety. There's plenty of parking, tables for seating and love how the staff greets you as you walk in. Firehouse has sandwiche names you can order straight off the menu so this takes any guess work in terms of figuring out how you want to customize it, however you can also build your own with any ingredients available. I tried the meatball sub and the classic italian on white bread. We opted for the large size and it was plenty if you are very hungry. Everything tasted super fresh and just perfect - honestly the most impressive thing for me was the bread. It it moist and light, definitely better than Subway or any other chain I've tried before. This location has a cool Coke Freestyle soda machine so you can choose from huge selection of drink options, many of them zero sugar as well. Very fun! I will definitely be back and praying we get this in Quebec one day!

I've been coming to Canada every year for longer than I can remember, and it's always a necessity…read morethat I stop here for what is likely the best sandwich you can get anywhere in the country. Di Rienzo's is a small deli tucked away in Ottawa's little Italy neighborhood but trust me it's no secret. There's always a line of the well informed, salivating with a grin as they wait (not long mind you, they move fast). The smell here is your first clue that your in for somethings delicious, if you weren't hungry when you arrived you will be once the aroma hits your nostrils. They have a selection of Italian pre-packaged products and various snacks, as well as cold drinks to complete your meal. That said, this joint is all about the sandwiches. They'll make whatever combo of meats, cheese, and toppings you want but if your unsure just pick one of the options on the board. I almost always get the #14. It's all the delicious Italian meats you could want plus havarti, lettuce, and mayo (exchange the regular havarti for the herbed havarti if you'd like). The bread is amazing quality as well. You really can't go wrong here. They have some sandwiches in a case ready to go as well, such as the steak which I hear is amazing. The staff here couldn't be more friendly and accommodating which is no small feat for a place this busy. There are no tables so it's takeout only and It IS cash only however they have an ATM for the unprepared. Oh, lest I forget, this amazing and quality sandwich is less than 10 bucks! This spot is a real gem and if you find yourself nearby you absolutely have to try it out.

The Short Version: Restaurant inside the Holiday Inn Ottawa…read moreEast. I feel it is what you would expect of a restaurant inside a mid-range hotel. I found the food ok. The Long Version: I love trying new restaurants. I also love scoring deals, lol. I have this app called Too Good to Go, where you can buy "surprise bags" from stores and it's food they have leftover at the end of the day. You can't choose what you get though and there's a designated time window when you have to pick it up. I saw Myra's on the app and I was already in the area doing other things and the pickup time worked out, so I figured why not give it a try. I got their lunch surprise bag for $7.99. Pick up was easy. After lunch they close for a few hours before dinner so pick up time was right after their lunch service closed. There was a staff member mopping the floor and when I told her I was there for my Too Good to Go order she went to get it. She was courteous and efficient. I got 3 small pieces of breaded chicken fillets, pilaf rice, peas and carrots and a small salad. It was all packaged in a cardboard takeout box. To me the chicken tasted like frozen stuff you get at Costco Business Centre or food suppliers like Sysco. I felt the meat tasted processed, like the chicken breasts that are pumped with salt water before being frozen. The rice was soft and fluffy but on the salty side for my liking. Peas and carrots were ok. The salad was fresh, no wilted leaves. The food tasted like it was made that day and wasn't stale or spoiled, so I'm glad they are using the Too Good to Go app as intended and not to offload garbage like I've heard some restaurants do. Not a bad deal for $8. Was I wowed by the food? No. But was it perfectly acceptable? Yes. A-OK by me. Free parking in the hotel parking lot. Review #19 (2025)
