Tasty, well, seasoned, nicely assembled burgers. Not a smash burger, not a thick burger, just a nice, satisfying burger that came together beautifully. Sometime in late 2025 that changed. Now take your palm and hold it horizontally at eye level. Average burger, no seasoning or flavour to speak of, dry patty (kiss of death for a burger) and no love put into the food. The burger seems like a collection of ingredients rather thank a cohesive whole. I liked it so much before that I had to come three times to be really sure of what I am saying here. DON'T BOTHER. I'm not sure what changed, but no longer recommended. Sorry, I tried...

The Long Version: My husband and I love Farmers' Markets and since the Parkdale Farmers' Market is within walking distance for us, we go often. This year (2025) we noticed a new vendor: Tito Leo's BBQ. So we had to check it out. We got a small chicken BBQ platter with half rice and half fries ($10 taxes included). The rice is Java rice, which is rice cooked in chicken broth and turmeric. It was good and more exciting than just plain white rice. The fries were shoestring fries, my favourite cut. The chicken was chopped up BBQ chicken layered on top of the rice and fries. A tangy BBQ sauce was poured over everything. The chicken was tender and moist. I would have preferred less BBQ sauce because the dish was a little too saucy for my liking, but overall I still really enjoyed it. My husband liked it too. Service was courteous and efficient. They have a few private tables in front of their kiosk, but there's the main seating for the market too if those tables are occupied. There's also picnic tables at Parkdale Park right next to the market. We were lucky to score one of the private tables. There are a few parking spots at The Parkdale Farmers' Market. Otherwise, there's street parking, both paid and free spots in the area. Review #123 (2025)

I had a dinky hot dog at the Ottawa Titans game. After the game was over, I felt the need for a…read moremore substantial hot dog. I pulled out my Uber Eats app. I found Seoul Dog. It was offering a BOGO deal on Korean beef corndogs. It was exactly what I needed! I placed an order for two beef corndogs with garlic sugar. I also got a Diet Coke. My timing was perfect. I placed the order in my car that was parked at RCGT Park. My order would be ready by the time I got to Seoul Dog. What was a pleasant, perhaps shocking, surprise was heading downtown just past 8 pm and finding out that Seoul Dog has a parking lot. Free parking. What?! I felt like it was either a mistake or I had won a mini jackpot. I pulled into a spot and walked in. I got to the counter and indicated that I had an Uber Eats order. The nice woman handed me a paper bag with my items in it. I thanked her and happily left with my order. I headed back to my hotel room and chowed down. On Uber Eats, the corndog was going for $9. It's kind of pricy considering that Chun Chung offers fancy rice dogs at $7 tops. I will admit that the ones at Seoul Dog are a bit longer, so perhaps that makes paying $9 a dog a bit easier to take. I got my corndogs plain. As much as I dig ramen chip and potato cubes, I wanted something simple. I got both corndogs sprinkled with garlic sugar. I didn't know what it meant. Luckily, there isn't any sugar. It looks more like powdered sugar, but it's all garlic. As a garlic lover, it was the perfect garlicky level of yumminess. The beef hot dog in each one was plump and juicy. I liked that the batter was crispy on the outside, which a mild chewiness that was enjoyable. The cold Diet Coke washed everything down so nicely. It hit the spot. It was wonderful trying out a local Korean corndog joint and having a couple of corndogs for dinner. It made up for the small hot dog that I had at the ballpark. I'm thinking that the ballpark should offer corndogs from Seoul Dog. It's easy to eat them on sticks. (258)

Long before ChungChun Rice Dog infiltrated the Kogo market, lol. They started out on Clarence St and then moved to Lyon St and now are on O'Connor St. I really enjoyed their beef corndog. I got it with the regular dough, but you can get it with spicy jalapeno dough too (for an additional $1). I also got it plain, but you can get it topped with potatoes pieces or ramen chips (again for an additional $1). I got the garlic sugar sprinkle and spicy ketchup and mustard sauces. The beef corndog is regularly $9 but UberEats was having a BOGO deal, although the price is $10 on UberEats so I paid $10 for 2. The beef hotdog was juicy, and the batter was crispy on the outside and had a pleasant slight chewiness on the inside. It wasn't too thick. Admittedly, garlic sugar sounded weird to me as a sprinkle on top, but it oddly works and tastes good. It's super garlicky though, you have been warned. They gave us 1 tiny packet of mustard and a tiny Solo cup of spicy ketchup for both corndogs (see picture). The spicy ketchup was tasty and not too spicy. I dumped the container into the box and dipped the corndog in it because there's no way the corndog would fit into the tiny cup. I also opened the packet of mustard and squirted the contents into the box for dipping. So while I thought it was tasty and reasonable with the BOGO deal, I personally think the regular price is too high for what it is. The regular beef corndog is only $4.99 at ChungChun. Yes, ChungChun is a chain, and I always root for the underdog, but twice the price is too much for me. Seoul Dog does have the option of Jalapeno dough, which ChungChun does not have. Their current location is great because it has free parking, which is very rare for a restaurant downtown. They also have both indoor and outdoor seating and a lot of both. I picked up my UberEats order and the pickup was smooth. I got there early so just hung out outside until the app told me it was ready. I entered as soon as the app alerted me it was ready and they were just packing it up. No complaints with pickup. I'm glad I got to try the OG in Ottawa kogo, lol (still need to try the OG in Montreal kogo at Picks on Saint Marc, which was years before it's time, but I digress). They also sell Korean donuts at Seoul Dog. Not exactly sure what these are, but I'm interested to try them, especially since they have an apple flavoured one.

After a fairly disastrous experience at the Ottawa Ribfest (I honestly think those were the worst…read moreribs I've ever eaten), I was still pretty hungry and in the mood for some serious meat. I had noticed All Out Burger in the area, so I decided to pop over and grab a burger for takeout. After perusing their menu, I figured it was probably a good idea to get their namesake burger, The All-Out Burger ("2-6oz, Bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, and mayo"). This is one terrific burger. It was exactly what I was in the mood for, with its tender patties, delicious bacon, and melty cheese. The richness of all those components was cut perfectly by the other ingredients. I can't have asked for a better, tastier hamburger. It's an indulgent mess and I loved it.

The Short Version: Good smash burgers, fries and lobster…read morerolls. They have vegan versions too. The Long Version: My husband and I just happened upon Killer Buns while walking around the area. It's where Indian Express used to be (we had no idea it closed). Killer Buns is in the basement and Hangout is on the first floor (Hangout relocated here from 839 Somerset). It was Aug 31, 2025 and I was lured in by the signage saying smash burgers, but alas they said they weren't actually open and were just serving invited guests to a tasting of their vegan menu, but their soft opening was the next day and their soft opening specials were $10 smash burger, fries and a drink and $20 lobster roll, fries and a drink. So I said I'd come back the next day. And I did. And I got one of each of their special combos for my husband and I to share. The smash burger was good. It came with cheese, chopped raw onions and pickles. I liked that it was a plain bun without seeds. The meat had a good flavour and was nicely smashed with crispy edges. I think smashed burgers usually come with minimal toppings, but I would have liked to see some sliced tomatoes and lettuce on the burger. I think this would have elevated the taste. The fries were hot and crispy and tasted like chip wagon fries :) The lobster roll was ok. It's no Luke's Lobster, but we're also not Maine, lol. The lobster meat was just satisfactory in my opinion, but at least I did get a small claw and a few small chunks. There's celery and green onions in it. And it wasn't excessively mayo-laden, like at some places. It was on the small side, the size of a small hotdog bun. Service was good. I chatted with a guy there who might have been one of the owners (?) He said they used to run a food truck and did catering and served food at Bluesfest. They've also been doing smash burgers since 2019. The restaurant is small with just a few seats inside. They do have a small patio out front too. We took our food to go. I read on their socials that they serve vegan food and they have a separate fryer for their vegan items and a separate grill/flat top. So this may be a draw for vegans. Street parking only.

I had never had a smashburger before and did not think it was even possible using plant based ingredients, but Killer Buns nailed it! And the fries are perfect.. fresh cut and not at all greasy. The food was very fresh, very very good tasting. A lot of restaurants that offer some vegan or vegetarian foods resort to using pre-frozen highly processed fake meats, but not Killer Buns. Everything is made from scratch using fresh ingredients and wonderful seasonings. The place is small being primarily for takeout, but there is seating inside and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Service was very fast, friendly and attentive. We will be back again and again.

The Long Version: I learned about this diner on Reddit and shortly after, I happened to be working off-site at a location near this diner, so it was the perfect opportunity to check it out on the way home. They were still in their soft opening when I went in early May 2025. I got a Smash Burger with fries ($12.83) for my husband and a Hot Chicken Sandwich with fries ($12.99) for myself to go. The menu said the meals also came with coleslaw but the owner advised me they ran out of coleslaw. Unfortunately, I didn't get any substitution for the missing coleslaw :( I appreciated that my fries were packaged separately so they wouldn't get all soggy with the hot chicken sandwich. The fries were tasty and had a bit of seasoning on them. They were crispy even after the drive home. My hot chicken sandwich was filled with real roasted chicken pieces, but the chicken did not taste fresh to me :( The sandwich bread was soft though and the gravy was nice and thick how I like it. My husband really enjoyed his smash burger. Since I can't eat sesame seeds, I removed the top bun and had a small bite to taste. It was really good. The house sauce had a nice spicy kick to it. The burger also had cheese, bacon, grilled onions, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. The 2 beef patties were nicely smashed and had good flavour. I should have also gotten a burger and just removed the top bun, lol. I was greeted by Sana, the owner who was very friendly and welcoming and asked me how I learned of the place. The decor is diner-like and very casual. It's in a strip mall in a working class neighbourhood. Free parking in the strip mall parking lot. Would have been a solid 4 star experience for me, but the chicken in the sandwich knocked it down a star. Review #104 (2025)

Thought I would give Walkley Diner a try since I live close to their location. In one word…read more.. disappointing. Food: Greasy. All of their fried items taste the same. A change of oil would help tremendously, not only with the food, but the smell of the diner. I walked in to order a "walk-in" medium pizza. I essentially had to walk through a cloud of thick grease smoke. The place seemed abandoned. No one in sight. When one of the employees did surface, he seemed annoyed that I was waving the smoke away from my face. My interaction with this person while placing my order was somewhat abrupt and disrespectful. I asked for a menu so that I could select the type of pizza I wanted, and was told that they don't have a menu, just a flyer (with very limited information), I would have to select my own toppings. So I started listing off a bunch of ingredients, all of which were unavailable I asked if he had any suggestions. He said chicken. That was it. At which point, he refused to assist me any further. So I created a pizza from what they did have... chicken, onions, olives and (double) cheese. When I returned home I opened the box... what a sorry sight. It was a medium pizza, no doubt, but where was the double cheese? There was only enough cheese on the pie that could potentially cover a small, at best. I was able to uncover 6 small chunks of dried chicken, stringy sliced onions and less than a small handful of sliced olives. The tomato sauce was sparce and forgettable and the bed of the pizza was soggy, soggy to the point that the dough was starting to blend with the tomato sauce... ugh. Service: As described briefly in food. Going into more detail... slooooow, disorganized and, more than occasionally... rude. Ambiance: Filthy. They don't wash their floors when there is heavy foot traffic from customers entering after a weather event. Tables are not cleaned. I try not think of the sanitary condition in the kitchen which is roughly about the same size as a galley kitchen in a small apartment. Nothing in this diner feels warm nor welcoming... it's just there. This review is based on 2 visits to the diner. One, for smash burgers and fries, the other for pizza. I thought I would give the diner a second try, perhaps it would sway my opinion... unfortunately that didn't happen. I apologize in advance to those who may be offended my rather harsh criticism... This is just a review. If there is one positive comment to be made... their food is affordable, much cheaper than mainstream burger and pizza joints. But then again, you get what you pay for.
