Came for lunch at 1pm on a Saturday and there was a 30 minute wait. There isn't much space to wait, so it good that they take your number down and call when your table is ready so you can walk around a bit. We missed the brunch menu as I think they stopped serving that around 1pm. The lunch menu was mostly sandwiches, and I had the crispy chicken sandwich with half side of fries and half salad. I love that they offer you the option of half/half. The portion size is definitely on the smaller side but the sandwich with side was only $13 and I prefer the smaller portion as I've been trying to control my portions better. The chicken sandwich was ok - the chicken could have been more seasoned / better coating but it wasn't bad. read more

The Third - Chicken Sandwich with Half Salad Half Fries - Bars Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

I've had The Third on my list of places to try for some time now (pretty much since they opened in late 2017/early 2018), and finally got around to it. The place is always very busy and I now I understand why. The food is delicious, service is good and the prices are great. My husband and I were both off work on a Friday, so we decided to head there for a late-ish lunch. We got there close to 2pm and it was packed indoors. The patio was relatively empty, and that's where we opted to sit. The patio started to fill up as we were there. I got the fried chicken sandwich with fries ($12) and my husband got the Brisket Plate ($13) which came with corn, mac and cheese and some toast. The portions are smaller than at most restaurants, but I actually prefer the lower price and smaller portions. My fried chicken sandwich was delicious. The chicken was crispy and the slaw had carrots, jalapeno and celery. They were generous with the sliced pickles. I asked them to hold the mayo, which they did. I hate wet sloppy sandwiches, so it was perfect without the mayo. The fries were thin shoestring fries, my favourite type. They were crispy and so tasty. My husband also enjoyed my fries, lol. I also gave him a bite of my sandwich and he liked it too. My husband loves his Brisket Plate. I had a taste of the brisket and he gave me a lean piece because he knows I hate fatty meat and it was good. I also tried some of the mac and cheese and I liked that too. Apparently there was sweet potatoes in the mac and cheese, but I didn't taste it. I like how they give you water in a bottle, so you don't have to ask for refills (unless you drink more than the bottle, in which case I'm sure they'd give you a second bottle). Service was lovely. Although the patio is at the side of the restaurant and is next to a parking lot, the ambiance was good. I liked that some tables were in the shade (ours) but they had some in the sun for those who like that. The inside ambiance is more drinking hole-like, lol. It was loud and crowded. I preferred the patio environment. The Third is where The Blackpepper Urban Pub used to be. They actually kept one of the awnings that you can see from the patio; it says Blackpepper. The parking lot next door has limited parking spots and some are marked as reserved for SuzyQ (the donut shop) and others for QpiXXX (which used to be an "adult entertainment" store and it might still be, but now mostly sells bongs and other cannabis paraphernalia). Some spots are unmarked, so maybe customers of The Third can park there (?) I've seen Circle K customers parking there. Circle K is the business immediately west of the parking lot. We walked there, so I'm not entirely sure about the parking situation. My only regret is having waited this long to try The Third. We will definitely be returning. I want to try their Veggie Burger next :) read more

Food. Staff. Location. Prices. The caesar salad was delicious as were the brisket and fish sandwiches. Best apple cobbler since my grammy was alive x0x0 AWESOME!!!! We'll be back. read more

Many reason why we chose this place, super affordable, and highly recommended. They also have a special menu and we got the French toast fried chicken, tasty but would prefer more maple syrup 9/10! The classic breakfast was simple and delicious. Only downside was the wait, we waited almost 1 hours on Sunday @9:30am. Bar counter might have no wait... but not 100% sure. read more

This is one of my go to places for take out in Hintonburg. The food is tastey and comforting. The amount is plentiful for the price. The order is always ready when they say it's ready. It's a great alternative to packing my own boring lunch when I'm working! read more

Always a win at this place. You better call in advance if you want to avoid a waiting list, particularly in the evening on the weekends, Thursdays and Fridays. Great selection of local brews and I recommend the fish n chips or the crispy chicken sandwich. Great ambiance for an informal connection with a friend or a casual date. read more

This place is great. Amazing "comfort" food. Friendly and welcoming staff. And a very chill vibe. Definitely worth a visit!

Cute hipster spot in Hintonburg. We were in the area and was looking for a lunch spot. Service was great. Our hostess was friendly. The prices were quite affordable and portions was just perfect. Our bellies were satisfied but also we weren't stuffed to the point where we couldn't walk afterwards. Hubby got the brisket that came with corn and a little dish of mac n cheese. I got the flatburger with a side of caesar salad, and we each got a cup of drip coffee. The mac n cheese was very cheesy and we were both very happy with our meals. We would definitely come back the next time we're in the area read more

Hands down the best breakfast I've had all year. I'm excited to go back and try lunch and dinner menus too! I had the savory tart with bacon and oh my my it was delish. Hand made pastry with a sunnyside egg on top. I also had the fried chicken add on and it was hiding under a perfectly cooked fresh egg. The flavours were amazing and the hand made quality of the hot sauce and jam for toast was impeccable. Bravo to the chefs and the servers were also amazing and really authentically enjoyed being there. Oh the prices are very reasonable. Easy to treat a friend to breaky here! read more

We had a Birthday Breakfast today and what a fantastic restaurant. The atmosphere and the staff are great. The waitress was on top of everything, we had kids with us and they were treated with passion and got colouring books and crayons for the wait of others to arrive. Thanks for the fantastic service Sheri Francis read more

Location: I think this neighbourhood is known as Hintonburg. There's street parking but I think it's metered on weekdays. We went on a Saturday so parking was free. The place: I didn't see the interior because we oped for the patio. It's not very big but it allowed for enough social distancing (#1 priority these days!) and was nice and sunny! The goods: I had a scone and the classic breakfast. First, the scone was delicious and warm, and that homemade jam just amplified its tastiness. YUM! Breakfast was great and the portion (for me) was perfect. Their homemade bread is also pretty awesome. Service: Good Price point: $11 read more

Great spot to go to when you don't want to think to hard about what to eat and just have a simple but delicious bite. Breakfast and dinner is great there, good selection of pints. The owner is very friendly and the vibe is relaxed. A real cross section of clients from young to old. Never a bad call going here. read more

Great neighbourhood spot, friendly waitstaff and the price is right! The menu is concise, nothing too complicated. I had a turkey club with a side for 11$. My dining partner had a house made vegan burger. Out server Kate was extremely friendly and quick witted. She had us laughing throughout our meal :) read more

I really like this place. Good food, good drink, good prices. The only thing is it sometimes it feels like an East side Mario's or something, because there's so many kids! Idk if that's their target but, last time we were there for post-work drinks at least half of tables were families with young kids and there were definitely some "outbursts" that made things less enjoyable. But overall the staff and service is great! Just maybe wait till after the kids go to bed. read more

Nowhere else in town can you get a delicious lunch and a full pint of non-craft beer for under 20 dollars. A hidden gem hiding in Hintonburg's now soulless and oppressive landscape of Zombie hipsters. Ain't that ironic? read more

The service was great. The staff kept on asking if we where happy. And they made us fish & chips even though lunch was not until 1 pm. Sadly we were not pleased with the food. My friend and I thought that the fries where way too salty and that the fish did not have much substance to it. If I come back here again then I will get something else. read more
