I come here almost every week. And EVERY time, I’m highly disappointed. They add ingredients that are borderline stale and the employees don’t know how to build a sandwich. They don’t close them and as soon as you take out the sandwich from the packaging everything falls out. I think over the years quality has just decreased.

No whole wheat bread and only had halepeno cheese and the guy serving me could not speak English

This one is the cheaper in Hull-Plateau. 👍 I been there during the day and late at night. The personnel at night was nicer than during the day. Both were efficient at their work.

Fantastic local place. We came for a small birthday dinner mid-week. It was still quite busy. The burger is tied for the best one I've had in the region. Phenomenal fresh toppings. Great friendly service and atmosphere.
We came in from Kingston Ontario for a dance competition. Our server, Rashad, was very polite, informative, and very, very nice to our granddaughter. She asked for chocolate milk and he brought it with whipped cream on top which really made her happy. He said the smoked meat sandwich was the best in town and he was right. The food was excellent. The prices were great, and as I said, the staff amazing. highly recommend.
I have been a patron for years but I won't be returning there to eat. Throughout my entire evening my server came to our physical table just once to collect our bill. Otherwise it was I that took care of our table other than the kitchen staff who served our food. Also, the menu has changed so I can no longer order a regular Fettuccine Alfredo. Now it comes with chicken and broccoli for an elevated price of course. Sorry La Station but I will only go for happy hour once in a blue moon to chat with friends.
Wait staff was great, food was fine, not amazing. Ordered tacos, too small and not very traditional, which I expected, but the chicken tasted like store-bought packaged taco spice. My colleague got fish tacos and enjoyed them.
Right off the top, I just want to say how impressed I was. Came in with my fiancé for some cocktails and a quick bite. Our waitress Valerie was amazing, I asked for her recommendations on which cocktails we should try, and she took care of us well. The nachos are amazing. The deep-fried pickles are probably my favourite. A bit on the higher said pricewise, but it's justified by the quality of the service and big portions. You pay for a higher experience here. If you want cheap, then go across the street. Thank you for the great time. 10/10 definitely coming back In a few days. We may make this our spot!

Great place. The food was kinda mid. My friend got a 18$ platter of appetizers and was left thoroughly disappointed.

Regardless, my beers were great and the customer service was on point.

The best Pizza in the region.

The manager/owner Christine is such a professional, welcoming and kind person. It's nice to see such qualities still exists in the industry.
We love going there and ordering their food.

Just wish they had more vegetarian and/or Vegan options.
Also, it's a pity their voice message is not bilingual too :(

Overall A+++++

My recent visit to this BBQ Shop left much to be desired. Despite the promising aroma of smoked meats wafting through the air, the reality fell short of expectations.

Firstly, the prices were exorbitant for what turned out to be average brisket. While I understand that quality comes at a cost, the lackluster flavor and texture of the meat failed to justify the steep price tag. It was a disappointing reminder that sometimes, paying more does not necessarily equate to better quality.

To make matters worse, the ambiance was far from inviting. The crooked tables and uneven seating made it difficult to enjoy our meal comfortably. It's puzzling how such a basic aspect of restaurant maintenance could be overlooked, especially in a place that prides itself on offering a premium dining experience.

Despite these shortcomings, the service was adequate, with staff members doing their best to accommodate patrons. However, it's clear that improvements are needed in various areas to elevate the overall dining experience.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this place to fellow barbecue enthusiasts. With its overly priced menu and subpar ambiance, there are plenty of other establishments in town that offer better value for money and a more enjoyable dining atmosphere.

Amazing food, beautiful presentation and lovely space. Well decorated and it feels like high quality. Much more expensive than expected when we decided where to eat, but if you can afford it I highly recommend

I had the Tiebou yap — very delicious. The place is no frills and the staff is helpful. Love this place, wish Montreal had a Senegalese place like this.

Looks good until they close your sandwich, then it's a mess and you can tell they don't care.

This restaurant has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The price-taste relationship is not at all advantageous for customers.
The taste was absolutely nothing spectacular. The price is extremely expensive for a piece of food.
In addition to this, they charged us for a soda that was never brought to us and the portion of fries ($6) that were included as an accompaniment to the ribs.
High expectation big disappointment. BBQ Shop definitely entered my restaurant blacklist.

Food is delicious! I want to try everything on their menu! I've always gone there mid afternoon on a Saturday or Sunday, so it's always been quiet, but I can see this place getting quite crowded. The only issue is that the high chairs for the tables along the window are not the most comfortable so I always request a regular table.
We have been ordering at this restaurant for years now. The food is delicious and the service incredible. Happy customers !

This was a random stop for food after a busy day. I didn't look at any reviews before coming here. More popular and fancy than I thought. I was unaware I needed reservations, but I highly suggest you get some if you plan to come on a saturday night. They luckily had one spot left for us at the bar, and service was great. Delicious food. We ordered 2 beers, the brie entrée, rib and chicken meal to split, and a Caesar. The spicy coleslaw brought some heat too. Enjoyable for sure.

First-time goer. We arrived at 5 pm and it was quiet. By 6pm is was near full. We ordered the meat combo plate at $95. My wife and I greatly enjoyed each and every piece we ate. Not a single complaint to be said. We were very full. Could possibly split that size meam for 4 people. We will be back. Thank you
Great food, quiet atmosphere, friendly service. Loved the Pastels :)
Good atmosphere, good food, friendly servers. This is a great place for families, friends, and coworkers. I was impressed by how good their fries are. I had the Texas Burgers and it was very good as well. The lunch special came with a curry vegetable soup and coffee/tea, so it was a great value.

Who wants to spend $25+ on a combo at Subway?!?! Prices have gotten completely out of control for the lackluster quality food. Why not have a shawarma for less than half the price? Personally, I am completely done with Subway as of 2023.

I just stopped in at this Subway because it's the only one thats open past 8pm. Online the hours are listed as open until 9pm. When I arrived at 8:20 the open sign was on as well as all the lights and there was a cashier inside but the door was locked. I tired knocking on the door and even calling the store number to see why I couldnt get in even thought the open sign was on and the hours listen at the door said open until 9pm but I got no response. I'm very upset at this unprofessional service, if you're going to close early then at least turn the open sign off

Super food if your adventurous. I’m staying at the auberge de la gate and it’s 200m from here. I had the fried fish and it’s delicious. I wish I knew what the sauces were!

The customer service at this location leaves a lot to be desired. I understand that we’re in Quebec but once I said my greeting in English I could tell by the sandwich artists demeanour I was in for a rough time. Ultimately they seamed bothered by my order and rather focus on prep tasks.

As for the food it was alright, and I get that you’re trying to portion control toppings but when you ask for olives and they only put three on it, like that’s ridiculous.

Overall between the struggle to get a decent meal here, at the price of $16 for a single combo, this wasn’t worth it.

Fantastic little whole in the wall West-African food. I live in the neighbourhood and try to support as many local businesses as possible and this one never disappoints! They always serve large portions that are reasonably priced and always tastes fresh & delicious (you can really taste the spices and the wood charcoal cook!) The kitchen staff is always warm and friendly - locals and tourists need to try this little gem in the Outaouais region!
La Teranga is the best African restaurant in the whole Gatineau but j just wanna suggest something it’s gonna be good if you can put fork and spoon on the order, because many people order outside their houses or homes so kindly consider this suggestion.
Thank you a lot
La teranga forever

Really good and tasty food. However I ordered on uber eats and I definitely got a next day chicken (got chicken dibi) the only tasty part of that chicken was the skin. The inside was hard to chew and too dry.

The food was SO tasty! The service was wonderful. Warmly welcomed and very helpful with helping us decide. Quick to ask for second drinks. Didn’t feel rushed to leave. Will 100% return!

Ordered: Smoked Salmon Crustinis, brisket, pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese. All amazing and delicious items. Cocktail was a Mai Thai, which had too much ice but tasted good.

Amazing place with a cool vibe. Live music and great food. But it's pricy. I had the bison ribs which consisted of 3 ribs for 25ish $ which seemed like allot. My husband had the tartar which again felt over priced. The nachos were amazing, but do be warned the half portion is 2$ less than the full portion,
Tried their jumbo butterfly shrimp and chicken fillet strips. The rice and shrimp were perfectly cooked and well-done fillets !!
Waited a little longer for service as it was Friday night and packed.

Surprisingly good hamburger.
Tasty pizza.
Excellent service from Genevieve.
Big spacious restaurant. Looks like they’re prepared for big groups.
Big parking lot.
Came here 5 years ago and had the best Senegalese meal ever! Amazing customer service and food! Ever since then, each time I visit Ottawa, I make sure to stop by and eat here!

I think this restaurant is going through tough times because they have a lot of bad newer reviews and I understand why.

I ordered delivery from this place. They made two different delivery guys wait for 20 minutes. Total lack of organization and disrespect of their time.

The food arrived cold despite being a 7 minute drive...I had to throw it out because it didnt taste good at all. I just wasted $30, it feels great.

When an order goes this wrong, its clear the restaurant doesnt care anymore. Its time for them to stop and think about why they still keep their doors open and explore other ways to contribute to society.

Drinks and the fried pickles were fantastic.

Every single drink we had here was properly made. Even the Long Island which is usually the one drink that most places don’t put much effort into.
Nachos were great!
Tacos were okay.
I wouldn’t get the chicken wings again.

Overall, we were happy to have tried this place.
First time trying this place out. It was packed with people on a Wednesday but we managed to get a table without a reservation.

Friendly inviting and accommodating service. Casual comfort food offered on one side of the menu and more elevated options on the other side. The bistro offers a large selection of cocktails with a possibility of customizing drinks.

The deep fried pickles were a pleasant surprise. They were well seasoned and crispy and the same can be said of the onion rings. The pulled pork sliders were cute and tasty while the Gargouille poutine was just dirty dirty delicious.

We will definitely be coming back and sample the other side of the menu. Until next time!

The BBQ Shop is great little place. Nice decor, pleasant ambiance and lovely rooftop terrasse during the warmer months. Loads of tasty options on the menu and portions are generous. The pulled pork and brisket are delicious and fries are crispy. One of my favorites are the brisket ends! They are crispy and tasty and great way to start the meal. Takeout is also a possibility and great spot to order from when hosting a large group of friends.

We had the grilled steak with shrimps and the grilled chicken with shrimps.

The food was great.
The fries were crispy and not too oily.
The steak was cooked very well.
The steamed veggies are great. Normally they just taste bland and watery, however this time the veggies were very tasty.
The chicken was a little dry, but that is understandable because it's chicken and you have to cook it thoroughly.
The rice was also a little bit bland to my taste. However, they did provide lemon and butter with the plate. I don't really like butter on chicken or rice but I suppose that is a way to make it less dry.
The shrimps were amazing!

Nonetheless, we have no complaints. It was a great experience.

The pizza at this place is fantastic, I mean name what you want and you will have it done, the sky is the limit. The friendly staff, especially John, will lift up your spirit right away. Most important about this place is that they have the best variety of food. I become addicted with their wings after my first try, it was a blast. My highest compliments to all who work there and I give it my highest recommendation.
