TL;DR/The Short Version: Delicious crispy chicken tenders…read moreand waffle fries in what feels like a micro-Food Hall environment. The Long Version: My husband and I stopped at Cali for a snack before heading back home to Ottawa. We shared a 4 pieces chicken tenders combo ($18) which came with waffle fries and a canned drink (we got a Fuse iced tea). The chicken tenders were a good size and were lean chicken breast meat. I don't know how they do it but the outside was so crispy and crunchy and the inside was moist and tender. Definitely in the top 5 chicken tenders I've ever had. The waffle fries were great too. Waffle fries are so underrated, lol. The meal came with 2 Cali sauces, which I would describe as a creamy chipotle sauce. Service was pleasant. You order and pay at the kiosk and they ask you to enter your name. They call out your name when your order is ready. There is a bit of a wait since they fry your chicken to order, but it's so worth it. The building has 3 fast-food style eateries. Totopo Tacos is on the same floor as Cali and Sama Sushi is on the lower floor. Totopo Tacos and Cali share the same dining area. I didn't go downstairs so I don't know if Sama Sushi has it's own dining area or not. It feels like a really tiny Food Hall. It looks and feels nicer than a typical Food Court. There's free parking in the shared parking lot. Review #96 (2025)

Cali is worth all the hype it has got in the last 2 years!!!! Wooow this place is dope!…read more As you walk in, there's a few other restaurants that are like totally ignored lol ... but you have to walk up a flight of stairs to the left to get to the right spot. I waited a very long time to try this place out, as every time I passed by in the last year, this place was Jammed ... a huge line up so never wanted to wait in line for fried chicken. Was in Laval on a Monday and I decided Hey let's try Cali.. I always wanted to try it out but maybe I'll get lucky and there won't be too many people. To my surprise, there was a lot of people but thankfully they were already eating and they've been served so I came in at the right time to get me a chicken burger ! Yaaay! The employees are super friendly and welcoming! The menu is super simple Chicken burger, waffle fries, poutine and mac & cheese that's it .. I think ahahaa So I just ordered the chicken burger trio. With the waffle poutine and boy was it out of this world. The chicken was insanely crispy on the outside juiceeyyyyy on the inside. The Burger: 5+++++ it was the best chicken burger I've had in years like legit one of the top top burgers! Filled with so much flavour. The slaw was amazing! Who knew their pickled cabbage would taste so good in a burger? Their Cali sauce is amazing! The guy even gave me all their sauces to try out was awesome ! Super generous. The trio was like 26$ but I swear the portion sizes are extremely filling and definitely worth the price if you ask me! I recommend this place whole heartedly! Cheers!

First time eating at Reuben's. We came in from a rain storm with 2 young children. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the host, a sweet older gentleman, offered us paper towels to dry up, since we were soaken wet even with umbrellas. He seated us in the booth and got our little children settled in with coloring material. He was so gentle spoken with our children, and for that matter, the entire staff was! Our family felt welcomed and not a bother. You would be surprised at how few places make us feel this way, even though our children are calm little beings. Ok, now... to the food! When I hear brisket, I think of Texas styled BBQ, this brisket is different, this is a deli style brisket, think Reuben Sandwiches. The brisket was sliced so thin and was juicy, it was delicious! Our kids had kids meals and in their opinion, the best part was the ice cream at the end . I highly recommend eating here! The staff is friendly, the food is great and overall, just a comfortable place to be! Tip the staff well, trust me, by the time the bill arrives you will already have experienced their top notch service. I don't have pictures to share because we were hungry and ate everything up before I could remember to snap some photos!

We stumbled on this establishment this evening and it did not disappoint. We had a brief 5 - 10…read moreminute wait but it was well worth it for in house smoke meats/seafood. We had the the spinach and artichoke dip to start which was really good. I had the original Reuben which was memorable with the in house smoked corned beef brisket. The pumpernickel bread was awesome as well. My wife had the smoked lox bagel sandwiches ch with the fried capers and that too was amazing. Bonus points for the Molson Export Ale on draft which was a nice change of pace from all of the craft drafts I've been having.

Discovered this place thanks to my boyfriend who used to work in the area!…read more I love their variety and the sandwiches taste great! Friendly service and all the COVID measures are in place. I got the CBC sandwich which is cheddar cheese, bacon, and chicken. I added lettuce, black olives, and the special toasties sauce. It was a really good sandwich. It's the same concept as subway but what I like about it is that it isn't subway.

Pooh and I went here for lunch yesterday. It was packed which was a good sign…read more Our server was very friendly and helpful when deciding what to eat. Pooh had the Short Rib Mac & Cheese and I had the Super Smoked Meat sandwich and replaced my fried with mashed potatoes. Pooh's lunch was delicious (I had a couple of bites) The mac and cheese/meat combo was amazing. I find it difficult to find a good Mac and cheese in a restaurant well we found it here! My sandwich was super-sized and filling. The mashed potatoes were very tasty; I think there was garlic in them. I removed one star because of the price. It was an expensive lunch and there was no alcohol.
