We enjoyed the Hard Stones so much we ate here 4 times during our 5 day stay in the area. We…read morestopped here for the first time on a Sunday night - it wasn't overly busy & service was great! We started off with the Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip which was fantastic ...and it got better from there! My main course was the Montreal Style Smoked Meat Sandwich - also an excellent choice! We ended up visiting 2 more times for dinner and once for breakfast - every item we sampled was a hit ..and we tried a variety of items (see photos). The busiest day was a Thursday when we stopped in for a late breakfast and the service & quality of the food was just as consistently outstanding as our previous visits. We also really liked the vibe - dark wood & cool lighting! This is a definitely a top-notch pub/grill - highly recommended!

A long-time, family-run local favourite, the breakfasts are great diner fare and the bread is house-baked. Quick, friendly service, a good selection of menu items, and a consistent, pleasant experience. Don't judge the book by it's cover, and do pay attention to all the service trucks outside whose crews stop in during the week before their day starts. Sundays can be pretty busy, but if you're looking for a great breakfast special in the area, this is the place.

We needed a place to go to meet friends for dinner (sort of last minute). We had not been to…read moreSalamanders yet, so decided to try here (partly based on Yelp reviews - Thanks Dawn M!) It's a nice restaurant, with a view of the water along one side. it's comfy inside, with tables and booths. The service was prompt, friendly and courteous. The waitress knew the menu, and was able to advise us on deserts, etc. I ordered a salad with chicken, and it came with a little cornbread - and the waitress warned me that it had a slight kick... but it wasn't bad. You know what? She was right! I would order this again. Other things on the menu that were enticing: quiche! I can hardly wait to go back and try this! Hopefully next time, we'll be able to sit outside an enjoy the view, which we could not see very well from our comfy booth.

Food was good and nice portions. Very expensive for a diner. Breakfast plates were around $21!read more

This is a fairly new Zak's location and I was surprised to see it in Carleton Place! I've always…read morebeen a fan of the original location downtown Ottawa so I stopped in to eat here. The location has a classic diner feel like the other locations. I ordered the Cheeseburger with Onion Rings and one of their bottomless sodas. (Love the fact that there are free refills on pop) The Onion rings were done perfectly but the burger was a little over cooked, not too bad though. Good food but nothing compares to the original location in downtown Ottawa. The price of the food was a little high, however that's probably just due to the inflation of food costs across Canada currently. The server was an absolute delight and was very friendly, she really made this a happy visit!

The BEST breakfast meal I've ever had (this time I chose tater tots though, but still really enjoyed it). On top of the deliciously great meal, we also got some soup...the curried carrot soup is the BEST soup I've ever had. I hate soup. I hate cooked carrots. But I LOVED this soup.

A big platter for just the two of us. I took the steak for main dish it came with a free soup or salad. The soup was chili we both enjoyed it.

Next time we go on a road trip that way.

Food was cold, potatoes dry, poor quality of food overall. The cappuccino came from a nespresso machine.

The four of us arrived a few minutes before our 12:30 reservation. We were instructed to make our way to a table upstairs. One elderly member of our group is unable to climb stairs. We politely declined and were told we would have to wait for a table on the main floor to open up. The stools we were offered to sit at were so tall I had to practically lift my mother up. Then we started to feel how uncomfortably cold it was. A table cleared up about a half hour later but the girl at the desk quickly sat a party who had just arrived. They had reserved that specific table we were told and we had to wait longer. So we were made to wait another hour. Meanwhile, staff appeared panicked and in over their heads. We waited two hours from the time we got there for our meal. By this time the restaurant had cleared. We were served cold waffles and pancakes to be washed down with undrinkable coffee. At no point did anyone come to check on how we were enjoying our food. What a disappointment. No dessert on the menu. Awful food. We would have left to go somewhere else but where could we go that wasn't already booked up? We paid the $130 and left. I've had nice meals there in the past but I see no reasons to support that place again. This was too embarrassing and maddening for a repeat experience.
