Reviews for Zak's Diner Elgin St in Ottawa, ON
Zak's arguably has the best milkshakes in Ottawa, which is why I keep coming back. Their food, on the other hand, is simply... average. On my latest visit I ordered a pina colada milkshake that was awesome. In fact, it was so good, I finished it in lessthan 5 minutes. The soup and veggie burger combo that I ate, in contrast, was just OK. Although the quality of burger hasimproved since the last time I went to Zak's, it is still nothing special. Note: With tax and tip included, my meal was $40. Read more
Perfect greasy breakfast for a Sunday morning. Reasonably priced, and the breakfast poutine was outstanding. I could?ve eaten a... lot more! Cool oldies diner vibe and I love the branding of Zak?s on t-shirts and mugs. Read more
We are used to go to the other location by the center. We are vegan and choose to go there for their vegan options. Server comes... to take our orders and no head up for any dish or options that are not available anymore so when we order one of their breakfastwith vegan egg, we are told that unfortunately they run out of the vegan egg...so we had to end up ordering something from theirlunch menu as anything else on the breakfast menu cannot be made vegan... They did not fill up our coffee cups frequently (camewhen we were done ...) Big generous portion (would be nice to offer half portion for the people with a small appetite to avoidfood waste). Friendly staff. Read more
Our best dining experience in Ottawa. Huge and tasty portions (if you don?t eat too much, you can share with someone), great... service and soooo nice decor (80s inspired!). Well priced. Parking at Elgin street. Read more
It's a good place to have your breakfast, all day long. They have all the breakfast options you can think off. Although some... room for improvement, like the omelette could've been thicker with onion or other garnish. They are always busy on weekends sohave an extra patience, their staff just doing their best. Read more
Good for the price. The food wasn't outstanding but it was good for the price. The crispy chicken wrap was my favorite. It was... tasty and flavorful. Their fries are usually good too but get the regular fries. The curly fries were not good. The salad isokay. Read more
Server was awesome, very friendly and helpful in choosing what's good on the menu as it was our first time here. Ended up with 4... amazing items! Chocolate chip pancakes, chicken wrap, Zak's Club and Burger with onion rings on it. Everything we ate wasphenomenal. Super fresh and well cared for. Will be back tomorrow as we hear they also have the best milkshakes (we didn't haveroom LOL) Definitely a spot to check out! Read more
I would give it 3 stars for the ambience, location and staff. The coffee refill wasn?t offered more than once. Specially in... comparison to the diner nearby it was little mediocre. Food was ok. Pancakes too slimy but the Salmon was good. Cost for twopeople breakfast is about $60. But today I am changing my rating to 1 star. Because you know an omelette shouldn?t take soooooolong when there are not that many people to serve at 12:38. not a mistake of the servers. They are overwhelmed because thisplace is understaffed.
