Karaoke, trivia, live music, etc…read more The kitchen is usually open until 10pm during the week which is sometimes why my bro and I venture here. My bro likes the spicy chicken strips and mini beef tacos. The cream cheese poppers are good. I was surprised with the ultimate adult grilled cheese, it's quite good for bar food. They recently added tuna melts to the menu which I was pleased. You can get the tuna melt with pita bread, regular sourdough bread or as a tortilla wrap. It is my new favorite thing on the menu. The bartender who served us on 12/10 was super friendly and made sure my tuna melt order came out the way I requested. I didn't get her name but thank you for being so helpful!

GREAT prices for good food! I got the Polancic's Tenderloin with the daily cold salad (macaroni…read moresalad), a pickle spear, and a drink- all for only $13! The macaroni salad tasted so good!! I've never had macaroni salad before, but after having it here, it won't be my last time that's for sure. I'm not a huge tenderloin fan, but I know from many people that the Ottawa tenderloins are top tier. Really neat place inside too! They had ping pong, pool, darts, sand volleyball, you name it! The service is why I took a star off. It was very slow unfortunately yet seemed rushed at the table. It also felt like our food was thrown down in front of us. Side Note- they do not have to-go cups which I have never encountered at a restaurant.

We thought this might be an acceptable alternative to Rips Chicken across the street, as the wait there was over an hour. It was not. They were out of all specials by 7:30 on a Saturday. Very limited menu. Nothing for smaller kids. One waitress to cover entire establishment....she was angry and rude. My children were referring to her as an angry little elf. She refused to acommodate any of their requests. I witnessed her literally yell at a patron who asked an innocent question. Food quality NOT worth dealing with all of the above. We won't return.
