    Perogies - Inside the ground pork and rice bun $4.

    I've been wanting to try Ottawa Perogies for some time, but they have limited hours and are a bit…read moreout of the way for me, so I only recently got around to it. They sell perogies and other Eastern European snacks. Overall, the food was good, and reminded me of the home cooking of the mothers of my Slavic friends. I found the prices a bit high for what they were, but I guess nowadays that's not unsurprising. I got a ground pork and rice bun ($4), a ground beef crepe ($4) and a cottage cheese pancake ($4). The ground pork and rice bun was reminiscent of a cabbage roll in bun form, minus the cabbage and the tomato sauce, lol. It was heavy on the bun and rice and light on the pork, but tasted like comfort food. It reminded me a bit of the Asian buns filled with fillings like BBQ pork or curry beef as well. The bun was soft and almost brioche-like. The ground beef crepe was tasty, albeit a bit oily for my tastes. The crepe is a bit sweet, while the meat is slightly salty. The cottage cheese pancake was slightly sweet and I should have eaten this one last, as it was more dessert-like. I like that the cheese was thick and had a nice texture. Overall, the three items made a good snack. Service was courteous. The lady asked if I wanted the items warmed up and I liked that she placed them on a real plate to microwave them before putting them into a styrofoam box (I have seen some places put styrofoam in the microwave [shudder]). I mean I would have preferred if the box was cardboard, but at least they don't microwave styrofoam. The shop is located in a strip mall. There's plenty of free parking in the strip mall.

    The place is to go only, there's no sitting available inside. Perogies were freshly made and tasty…read more The size of one piece is slightly smaller than expected. The service is good, all my questions were answered. Also tried pyrozhky, they were just ok. You can purchase Ukrainian souvenirs at this place as well.

    The hubby picked me up a power bowl from Copper Branch, so I cannot comment on the service, but…read moreboy, oh boy, was it tasty. I decided upon the aristotle bowl. I got to chose one protein and a base. I went with the smoked tofu, and quinoa. Both were awesome. The quinoa was cooked soooooooooooo well. The bowl was a Mediterranean style type of bowl, and it came with olives, chickpeas, beet hummus, and sprouted mung beans which were amazing. The large threw be back about 17 bucks, but it was so very worth it. I love that everything on their menu is super clean, and veg/vegan. Word on the street is that their shiitake teriyaki is amazing, so I want to go back and try that, as well as their "chicken wings."

    Opted for a bowl from Copper Branch and I have to say it was delish! Don't be turned off by the…read more"vegan" label if you are a meat lover, it was truly packing on the flavours and you don't miss the meat. I got myself the Aristotle Bowl, the vinegrette alone made the bowl, but the ingredients were fresh, crispy and yummy. You have your choice of protein so you're not stuck with same old tofu, and option for base (quinoa, rice, noodles...). They do offer the "mini" versions of the bowls which I actually appreciate as I usually find these type of bowls are huge and I end up wasting. The portion was just perfect... Have to go back and try some of their other products, love me a good breakfast and they have "all day breakfast", and some yummy looking "wings"!

Man, I normally don't even like coleslaw. I asked my husband if he wanted it but tried it first and I was like "NVM!" LOL. The slaw was garlicky. It was so bomb. The fish was haddock. At first I thought it was cat fish but haddock is even better. My husband said he enjoyed his chicken sandwich. The fries are fresh cut. Had some great flavor and loved how thin and crispy they are. Service was quick to order and the food came out hot and fast!!! It was a little bit cold in the restaurant so I can see the place being a little bit more popular in the summer. Overall, definitely coming back to visit next time we are here!!!

Right at the corner that I frequented when I was a couple decades younger. I haven't been back to the Wellington/Mechanicsville neighborhood, tailing the Hintonburg neighborhood for many years. "Little Mac's". Is. THE. BEST. TASTIEST, fuckin' god DAMN, "THAT A TASTY BURGER"...in the city of Ottawa. ..hidden off the street on a corne, to make sure it stays a gem, proper diamond in the rough. I'll say it again, because I legitimately said it twice out loud with a mouth full of the best burger in this city. "DAMN! That's a TASTY FUCKIN' BURGER!" Eating here was fine. It's a small joint. Very reminiscent of proper burger joints from times in this city, past. This is by far, the best damn burger in this city, hands down. I legit mentioned to Moe, it was the best burger I've had, in well over a year. Hand made patties, proper. in house, smoked bacon, with a proper smoke ring on the edge. ...ok, ok, but ITS A GEM OF A PLACE. I havent seen so much care in proper burger preparation...just for, too DAMN LONG. Thank you "Little Mac's". And I absolutely adore your dedication to amazing, five star, Michelin Star, burger. At home. Thank you greatl, Moe. You made mine and my sons day. We needed those incredible burgers, with smoked bacon, and real cheese. I have only made two yelp reviews in the past. One, was to complain, one was for a former Turkish bodega, that couldn't weather the Covid of business, and you, Moe. You being the face and conversation, that also grilled those INCREDIBLE BURGERS! Hands down. Your burgers are 11/10, for this sleepy city. And I imagine they can't be replicated by ways of franchise. There are few that take the pride that you do, Moe, in offering the mint burger that you do. I should be back within two weeks, brother. I absolutely appreciate your care and grill mastery. Absolutely, fuckin', LOVELY. ...I can go on, but, it'd be better to learn from experience, by the uninitiated. I lived the dream today. To the dreamers. The dream is alive, offered up dinner in the cabane style. THE BEST BURGER IN OTTAWA. Proper. I will legit fight someone that says differently. But, they may just have a dented pallet. if the beef isn't seasoned properly, the whole burger is bland. Moe, he ABSOLUTELY UNDERSTANDS

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Vegan fast food burgers. Pretty…read moregood for what it is. The Long Version: Odd Burger is a vegan fast food restaurant. So imagine McDonald's and Burger King got together had a baby and that baby grew up and became a vegan. That baby is Odd Burger. They serve burgers, nuggets, breakfast sandwiches, fries, onion rings, tater tots, poutine and milkshakes, and everything is vegan. The taste is very much fast food. The service and ambiance is also fast food style. My husband and I each got a BacUn Famous Melt Combo. In-store the price is $15.48, but it was $17.03 BOGO (buy one get one free) on UberEats, so I ordered it on the app for pick-up. The combo comes with fries. You can upgrade to tater tots, onion rings, poutine or lots of other options. I love that for your drink you can get a juice, coffee or tea for no extra charge. Most places only offer soft drinks and anything else is extra. You can upgrade to a milkshake for more money. We just got fries and orange juice. For our burger we had the choice of their regular smash patty or chickpea patty. We chose the former. The smash burger is made of wheat and soy protein, flax seeds, onions and nutritional yeast. The BacUn is made of oats, chickpeas and wheat gluten. It comes with vegan cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles and their special sauce (which tastes a bit like McDonald's Big Mac sauce). The burger comes with a sesame seed bun, but the sesame seeds are only on the top bun, so I gave my husband my top bun and he gave me his bottom bun, so it worked out for me and I didn't have to eat it bunless, lol. The burger itself was ok. The taste was very fast food-like. It didn't taste like meat but I appreciated it for what it was. I want to try the chickpea patty next time. The fries were thick and battered. They came piping hot and were crispy on the outside. The portion was nice and big. I enjoyed the fries. The orange juice was just regular orange juice, but I liked that I wasn't limited to choosing a soft drink. I eat meat, but I'm an equal opportunity eater, lol, so I wanted to try Odd Burger. I think it's a great option for vegans and vegetarians who miss eating at fast food burgers chains. For meat eaters I don't really see much advantage over regular fast food burgers chains. I mean it's not any healthier in terms of fat and sodium content. I suppose it might be better for the environment (?) I didn't find the taste that "wow" or anything. Maybe I'll like the chickpea patty better. There's not too much seating at this location. Just 4 tables for 2 which can be combined to make 2 tables for 4. Service was courteous and efficient. I do like that it's a Canadian chain. It even started off in my home province, Ontario! Street parking only. Review #131 (2025)

    Delicious burgers and fries every single time. Fully vegan fast food joint resembling McDonald's !!read more
