Ottawa Foodies

These were good but I find the rings at Dick's to be superior in flavour and texture.

I like them a lot but I agree they are very similar to A&W's which are probably much cheaper.

I finally got to try these and they sure are good but extremely greasy. I got them to go and they cost a smidge over $5 with tax. A huge quantity, easily enough for someone to eat as a meal.

They are super crispy, almost overcooked, and seem to be breaded with panko crumbs. There is a tasty saltiness to the batter reminiscent of A&W rings. However, unlike A&W, these ones don't fall apart while you're eating them.

I probably won't get them again, simply because I can't handle eating a pound of onion rings (I might be exaggerating there). They'd be perfect to share across 3 or 4 people for a tasty snack...

I agree, those onion rings ARE the best in Ottawa. If only I could persuade my partner to frequent Dick's more often... I just realised how dirty that sounds! I mean the restaurant damnit!

Best in the city!

Crispy. Generous amount of onion in the batter. Remarkably cohesive -- these didn't fall apart at all, no onion sneaking out of its ring, nothing. Great batter. Etc, etc.

(Yes, I've had The Works'. Good. But these are better.)

Just got back from Lick's.

I really love their onion rings. They "bite off" instead of seperating, when you take a bite. No pool of grease in the bottom of the container either.

Even after they had cooled down a little they were still "bite-able" and tasty.

I just hate it when you bite into an onion ring and the onion slides out, falls onto your chin and burns you.

None of that going on here.
