Not That Great

We came here for breakfast as we heard their breakfast was good. We were definitely fooled! We walked in and the place was packed, we weren't able to get a table for 15 minutes, so we opted for the bar. The bar was actually comfortable, but it was so busy! We were given menus and chose our items. We waited, maybe about 7 minutes for our food. I ordered 'Zak's Big Breakfast', it wasn't that good at all, the eggs were cold, there was no ketchup for the homefries (I had to hunt down a bottle) and there was no butter/jam/peanut butter for the toast, once again, I had to hunt those items down. On the menu it says 'fresh fruit' however, the lady behind the bar told us that it isn't fresh, it is processed, yuck! Also, I was supposed to get fried beans with my meal but, they never came. The atmosphere is definitely diner-like, I have to give that to them. But the service and food is not worth your money. Needless to say, I would never come back here again.

Average Diner Food. Above Average ( read: higher) Prices.

Visited on a family trip to Ottawa. Like many theme restaurants, Zak's Diner is pricey, and offers just basic quality food. Service was good - friendly and quick. Food was basic diner fare - not good but not bad and certainly not outstanding. But, be warned, you are paying for the atmosphere and the location near the Byward Market. The prices were a good 40% higher then what you would find for similar food at a regular diner. I would give it a pass, walk 3 blocks in either direction and you will find the same food, for a lot less.

Its a diner, but with higher than average prices. Its a regular, run of the mill restaurant. There are much better places, but if you are drunk and starving after the bar then I guess it may be worthwhile

excellent place for a reasonably priced meal. A popular resterant so you may have to wait a short time to be seated but the food and service are worth the time.
