- Love the old-fashioned diner atmosphere!
- Can't think of a thing!
“I grew up in the Ottawa area and always considered it a treat to go to the Canteen. I still make it a point to go there when I'm in town. You just can't find anything like it anywhere else! Please don't ever change.”

- Great food, great service, awesome atmosphere!
- Too far away from home!
“This Is the best place anywhere for a good old-fashioned diner experience. The loose-meat sandwiches are fabulous and the pies homemade! The shakes are terrific, made as you order. I can never eat less than 2 sandwiches on any visit. My husband usually grabs 3! The whole experience from the horseshoe bar & stools, fast service, the steamer right In front of you, to the occasionally grumpy staff Is all part of the fun. Where else can you watch the meat being cooked and the sandwich made right In front of you as you order? No warmers used here folks!”

- I love the food and they have great milkshakes and pie.
- The only negative thing is that if you ever say anything about it tasting like the made-rites you are in for a lecture from the owners!
“The sweet soft taste of the O-so-famous canteen is described as more than letters put together. So you ask why not a chain if so wonderfully great, well great things come in small sizes, Quality not Quantity. If anyone has any doubts I would highly recommend the canteen. It is especially great for families or if you want to take a wholesome family-loving business partner then this is the place for you!”
