Ottawa Foodies

Been here a few times, the food is decent - good service, and I agree with other poster, nice choice away from Royal Oak. I think I have been here twice, and in both cases for lunch. I had a club sandwich the first time, and probably the second time too, since I cannot remember - and that is my default choice almost everywhere. The first time I went there the service was a bit slow, but we came in after the rush time at about 2pm, and they were probably in shift change or some such thing. Our plans changed and we needed to get the mains of our meals to go. When I went to the counter to ask that we needed our food to go, they were responsive and helpful.

Been here four or five times in the last year or two, almost always for lunch.

It's a comfortable spot, friendly service and never all that busy (in my experience). The food is fine, nothing particularly special but a good alternative to the downtown Royal Oak choices.

Went to Atomic Rooster Friday night after work. I really like the interior, cosy and clean. I ordered the nights special; Fish and Chips, and hubby had a pizza. My fish was tasty but soft, not the crunch you normally expect.. The fries were amazing, very crunchy and supper soft in the middle. I had a bite of the pizza and very bland and average. The wine list is decent and the prices are amazing! 28$ for the bottle, and some were less expensive....Overall good experience, good value. I would go back, for appetizers and wine/beer and on a night that a band is playing.

Excellent. Just $3.95 for the one-egg, $4.95 for the two-egg. Delicious potatoes, extra toast for just $1, and the small orange juice is actually a very respectable size (the glass was about the size of one of those Stella "chalices").

On a rainy Saturday morning, my partner and I ventured out for a delicious brunch, our mouths watering for a classic Mayflower breakfast. Upon arrival, it was packed solid, and we just were not in the mood to be crammed into one of their tiny two-person tables...So we hit the road!

Walking down Bank street we were inspired by the fresh, renovated look of the Atomic Rooster and their billboard out front advertising a three egg breakfast for a very decent price. Exchanging glances of "Why not give it a try?", we went in.

Not wanting to ruin the ending of this post, but brunch was delicious!

The lovely servers kept our cups filled with freshly brewed caffeine-laden coffee, while ensuring our meals were brought out hot, made to order, and beautifully presented.

Even though we both got the simple two egg breakfast with toast and house salad and homefries, everything was great - Eggs perfectly prepared as requested, toast toasted to perfection,and homefries tossed with sauteed onions. The kicker - combined check for two people: $11. Splendid.

The plates coming out of the kitchen for the other hungry patrons also looked superb,enough so to entice me back to give those a try.

So, with friendly service, relaxing ambiance, and fresh, delicious food, I will definitely return to the Atomic Rooster another Saturday morning for my first meal of the day.
