Reviews for Zak's Diner in Ottawa, ON
Such a great vibe and great food. The host could've been a little more friendly, they seemed like they really didn't want to be... there, but the rest if the team were positive and quick to get everything to us, and the place packed! We will be back. Read more
We followed a recommendation to have breakfast at this stylised diner. The service was very good- friendly and timely. The... interior was clean and tidy if a bit plain in parts. The food was decent quality and portion sizes for the price. Would happilyvisit again. Read more
We walked to Zak's Diner. It had an interesting placement like the front was in a semi closed offf street. Anyways we were a... bit full so all we wanted to get was a shake. Unsure of what to get, we asked the waitress how the Maple Shake is. She said itis just a Vanilla Shake with Maple Syrup. We tried it and yes it definitely just tasted like a Vanilla Shake with Maple Syrup. It was alright but had to try the Maple stuff when in Canada eh? There was a ton of people getting shakes so that was the rightmove for sure. Read more
Great location. Good options for vegans. (Note that while they have vegan vegetarian options, they state that they are not a... vegetarian kitchen). And you will have to pay extra for any substitutions. ???? My favourite is the vegan breakfast burrito(with vegan eggs and vegan cheese). Big portion (would be nice to be able to order half portion to avoid food waste for some ofus that have a small appetite). We went 4 times and the 3 last times we had to wait about 25/30 min for our dishes to arrivewhile other customers that arrived after us had their meals before us. Same things with the coffee fill up...should be done morefrequently. Nobody paid attention to us on our last visit, after 25 min we had to call someone to have more coffee! Ordered theBeyond meat burger that stated beyond meat patty + vegan cheese, my burger came without the cheese when we asked the waiter hesaid it does not come with cheese....??????????? Friendly staff Read more
Had the nachos and they were absolutely delicious! My cousins had the milkshake and they were surprised how much milkshake they... got, they absolutely loved it too! I recommend this place. I will definitely come back in the future! Read more
A perfect weekend breakfast spot. We were seated outside on a beautiful day. Service was great and the food was incredible. Such... large portions for a very reasonable price. I loved every dish we ordered. My personal favorite is the eggs Florentine and itwas perfect for my taste. Also enjoyed the milkshake! Read more
As you walk into this cool retro looking restaurant, you are greeted by a red hot mustang. The entire place looked lively with... colorful decor and energetic music. Another section of the restaurant has a beautifully renovated school bus, unfortunately itwas full that day. My friends ordered a regular and Canadian burger while I went with my favorite egg, toast + sausagebreakfast. It was a delicious brunch with lovely atmosphere. Next time I visit our capital I?m certainly coming back here! Read more
We were on our way to another restaurant when we saw Zaks. My friend told me that they serve smoked meat sandwiches so having... not had one in awhile, we decided to have dinner here instead. Our server was great. The food however was disappointing. Therye bread was toasted which kind of surprised me as I would have preferred that it wasn't. I wasn't given the option. Thesmoked meat was tasteless and slimy and I was disappointed in the quantity of meat in the sandwich. The fries tasted greasy andsoggy. My friend ordered the smoked meat as well wirh onion rings and a milkshake. She was also disappointed in the sandwichand her onion rings were cold and greasy. It's too bad, we were really looking forward to having a good meal here. We shouldhave stuck with our original plan and gone to the other restaurant. Read more
