Good for the price. The food wasn't outstanding but it was good for the price.The crispy chicken wrap was my favorite. It was tasty and flavorful. Their fries are usually good too but get the regular fries. The curly fries were not good.The salad is okay.

The food taste good pretty typical / standard, the ambience is fun! We got unlimited coffee with our breakfast. I wouldn't consider it a great value as it was a bit pricey for what it was. The washroom is upstairs so not super UA friendly.

Nice service, large size portions with good prices. The food was great, the Milkshake was awesome! I just wish the place was a little bit cleaner.

We are used to go to the other location by the center.We are vegan and choose to go there for their vegan options.Server comes to take our orders and no head up for any dish or options that are not available anymore so when we order one of their breakfast with vegan egg, we are told that unfortunately they run out of the vegan egg...so we had to end up ordering something from their lunch menu as anything else on the breakfast menu cannot be made vegan...They did not fill up our coffee cups frequently (came when we were done ...)Big generous portion (would be nice to offer half portion for the people with a small appetite to avoid food waste).Friendly staff.

Perfect greasy breakfast for a Sunday morning. Reasonably priced, and the breakfast poutine was outstanding. I could’ve eaten a lot more! Cool oldies diner vibe and I love the branding of Zak’s on t-shirts and mugs.

I would give it 3 stars for the ambience, location and staff. The coffee refill wasn’t offered more than once. Specially in comparison to the diner nearby it was little mediocre. Food was ok. Pancakes too slimy but the Salmon was good. Cost for two people breakfast is about $60.But today I am changing my rating to 1 star. Because you know an omelette shouldn’t take soooooo long when there are not that many people to serve at 12:38. not a mistake of the servers. They are overwhelmed because this place is understaffed.

The food was great, service was excellent and the old school diner memorabilia and atmosphere were fantastic. Their milkshakes are to die for. Despite how great the experience was I felt the prices were a little steep for the breakfast items.

Great diner atmosphere. A little slow for service - wasn't very full so I was surprised. But it was still reasonable. It's not speedy like some breakfast places.Food was good but not outstanding. Eggs Benedict were very good though.Vegan milkshake was very good!Kids menu has good variety.

On February 19, 2023 at 9:30 PM.I reached Zak’s Diner with my friends for dinner. I have already been here a couple of times and had very good experience. However, I decided to write a review this time for a very specific reason.I am a student at the University of Ottawa with the access to SPC discount. This one specific server (waiter) was good to us until it comes to paying the bills. We were asked if we would like to pay separately as each one of us were friends. We told the server to give us individual bills.After he got us the bills, we realized that we could use our SPC discount of 15% on the bill and save some bucks. The server was not happy with our request for the discount as he would have to reprint all the bills. The server gave us an angry look.The waiter got us the separate bills with SPC discount applied. One specific thing the waiter said to us “If you tell me for any discount after I have printed the bills, I will charge you guys double.”I was furious to see such behaviour from a person who’s profession demands to have excellent customer service. I as a customer do not expect the server to be rude.Another thing we realized that the same server did not put whipped cream on our milkshakes, which is a common practice at any diner.In the picture, you can see we had to request for the whipped cream separately which was brought to us in a small glass.Given the food was brilliant. Sometimes, the customer service can be an issue and can spoil your mood. I hope the management takes note of this as I have given the date and time.
