Poutine had lots of gravy and cheese curds, every bite had the perfect ratio. Even with so much sauce and cheese, fries are crispy even after 30 minutes of eating. The gravy is so well flavored, I liked the bowl clean of the gravy with my sausage. The polish sausage was amazing- Smokey juicy and grilled so yummy. The bread was soft and melted so well with the sausage. I put some gravy on top of the sausage and wow. A MUST! CASH ONLY BTW! The lady so sweet and explained the different flavorings of the sausages :) SO WORTH IT! The best places are the local mom and pop shops! :)

Regrettably, I did not get poutine, but I did get a sausage and it was great!…read more I'm not normally in this area at all, especially at night on a weekend, but we were on the patio at the Laff across the street for a friend's birthday and wanted some grub with our drinks after the Laff's kitchen had closed. We walked over to this little stand, which I actually had no idea existed, to get something quick to-go. There was no line late on a Friday night. We got a few different sausages and poutines and brought them back over to eat on the Laff's patio. It had been a long while since I had a grilled Polish sausage, so that's what I got with a little ketchup, mustard, and some chopped raw white onions. The sausage was perfect, tasty, hot, and not overcooked, just what I was craving and very satisfying. There was only one person behind the counter, a young guy who was very sweet, super fast, and we were really impressed he remembered everything we ordered. They have a small menu of your standard chip wagon fare - fries and poutine, hot dogs and sausages, pogos, and drinks, plus ice cream. Great spot that's open late (until 3am I think) for before/during/after a night out at the bars.

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.

My husband and I went to Killer Buns because they offer vegan alternatives to their regular menu…read moreitems. We very much enjoyed everything we tried! 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.

I would come by again and try other things on their menu if I'm ever around the area.

The Long Version: I love food trucks so when I was driving home and spotted The Eight O'Nine parked at the lot at Scott Street and Stirling Avenue I knew I had to look into what it was all about. They opened recently in 2025. At first I thought the name of the food truck was referring to a time, as in 8:09pm, but when I looked at the menu and saw references to Dominican-style foods like Yaroa, I knew that 809 referred to the area code for the Dominican Republic. Very clever naming. My husband and I made it out there on a Saturday mid-afternoon and shared a smash burger and fries ($15). I love how their listed prices are inclusive of taxes. The burger was delicious. It was 2 smashed beef patties, cheese, pickles, grilled onions, ketchup and mustard. It was juicy and flavourful. I would have enjoyed some lettuce and tomatoes in the burger, but I've been finding that many smash burger joints don't serve their burgers with these fresh ingredients, likely to save costs related to wastage since these ingredients spoil faster. Anyway, I still enjoyed the burger. The fries were hot and crispy and had a bit of seasoning on them. The fries portion was pretty small. I was hoping for more fries, lol. Service was friendly. There's some picnic benches in the lot where the food truck is parked, but we took our food to a nearby park. We walked there, but there is street parking nearby. I'm not sure if you're allowed to park in the lot or if it's just for food trucks. It's in the same lot as La Troca, Si Senior's food truck. I want to try their chicken po'boy sandwich next time.

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.

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.
