This is lovely the style is great the staff are always smiling & polite the food is great and on point the restaurant is always clean the milkshakes are fabulous defenitely one of my favorite places to go!
I judge a restaurant by their breakfast and Zak's did not disappoint. Food was great. Large portions and our server was really good.
I've gone to Zak's Diner several times now and I've yet to be disappointed. The food is just perfect and don't get me started on their milkshakes... Oh my they're phenomenal! I really love breakfast and the fact that their breakfast menu is always available makes it 100x better for me.
The service is great. I get seated right away and the waiters are always really friendly! Considering the restaurant is open 24hrs, I'd imagine some waiters be a little grumpy and tired when you'd come later at night but it's the complete opposite! I've always found the best ones are the ones who are working there late! It isn't as busy so they're able to have good conversations with you and really it's awesome!
The vintage diner look gives off this even better vibe that makes your experience even better! With such great food and service, you can't go wrong.
Zaks is an old Ottawa gem! Great for a late breakfast, or a late night bite. The charming decor, makes it all the while to just run in and grab a signature milkshake. Enjoy!
I went to Zak's Diner today for lunch, and one thing I really like is that they have a 24-hour breakfast menu.
They offer freshly squeezed juice, which I think is good.
They have a really good kid's menu, it has good items.
The food is made quickly, but sometimes they forget some parts of the order, but it's not that big of a deal.
An item I really like on the menu is the strawberry banana crepes.
Overall, I rate it a 4.5.
It's awesome, and I do recommend it.
Dinner with a friend last Tuesday. We walked in and were greeted with a smile and a friendly banter. The menus were promptly placed in front of us and we got our drinks pretty fast. The one thing that bothered me is that they gave me the larger size of cider 20oz( and charged that price) but I should have specified that I wanted the smaller portion.
The menu is quite diverse but is typically a greasy spoon type diner.
My Greek wrap with chicken, feta, tomatoes and cucumber was super filling but I found the taste a bit bland after awhile. The fries were my favourite part of the meal since they were so perfectly crispy and salty. So many places cannot get their fries right!
Solid place in the market if you don't want to spend a fortune and want some comfort food.
One of my favorite places to grab brunch on the weekends or get a late night bite. It's so convenient that the place is open 24/7! So many items on the menu but my favorite is always the milkshakes which always come in double size. That's a meal in itself.
Great retro feeling at this place. Open 24 hours a day. Never had to wait more then 2 min to get a table (even during the busier times)
On to the Food:
I am a huge fan of their poutine, not the regular one. I am talking about the curly fry poutine (same one but just curly fries). it's $10.49 but definetly can be shared between two people.
The milkshakes are pretty good too. They are thick and large portion as they give you the extra.
Mocha: best one
Coffee: mocha is better (coffee flavor isn't too strong)
Butterscotch: too sweet
Mango: not bad
The hot chocolate was really tasty too!
I've also tried the quesadilla can't say I liked it very much as it was lacking flavor and was on the greasy side.
Had lunch and good diner food. Tha vegetables were a bit rubbery if I may say. The rest of the food was good. Service fast and efficient . The food was serve hot
A classic spot in Ottawa, family friendly and open 24/7. Food is delicious, portions are huge, and it has the best prices in the Market. Friendly staff and atmosphere to top it off. You can't miss out on their classic milkshakes, delicious burgers.
Great atmosphere, busy place but no trouble with food timing at all. The kids had burgers and fries. I had the ends Benedict, the hollandaise was great all the meals were served hot and service was great.
Absolutely love this place! The food is amazing. And the milkshakes as well but the portion sizes are waaaay too big. Also there's usually a bit of a wait for seating but it's worth it.
A perfect weekend breakfast spot.
We were seated outside on a beautiful day. Service was great and the food was incredible. Such large portions for a very reasonable price. I loved every dish we ordered. My personal favorite is the eggs Florentine and it was perfect for my taste. Also enjoyed the milkshake!
As you walk into this cool retro looking restaurant, you are greeted by a red hot mustang. The entire place looked lively with colorful decor and energetic music. Another section of the restaurant has a beautifully renovated school bus, unfortunately it was full that day. My friends ordered a regular and Canadian burger while I went with my favorite egg, toast + sausage breakfast. It was a delicious brunch with lovely atmosphere. Next time I visit our capital I’m certainly coming back here!
Had the nachos and they were absolutely delicious! My cousins had the milkshake and they were surprised how much milkshake they got, they absolutely loved it too! I recommend this place. I will definitely come back in the future!
Loved the place!
When we arrived there was a huge lineup but they were quick in seating everyone.
The food was delicious Mexican food!
We ordered Chimichanga, Tacos and Mango smoothie. Everything tasted really good but the only disappointment was their chicken, it was quiet rubbery and chewy.
I would recommend this place if you are looking for a good hangout spot.
An excellent breakfast experience all around. A little bit of a delay in ordering however well worth the wait. My breakfast arrive exactly as I requested it to be cooked and was very delicious. I don’t think I was able to eat half of it the portions were so generous. I highly recommend this establishment for an outdoor patio breakfast or an indoor dining experience. Service is wonderful #localguide
I’ve dined with Zak’s Diner multiple times.
They are always nice meals, and filling.
But I’m not sure if the French Toast Breakfast I ordered and its presentation is worth $18+

Great burgers and egg benedicts. Food was very tasty and portions were huge. Very friendly service. Would recommend to anyone looking to eat a diner style meal.
Definitely a place for comfort food. I love their vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. If you visit, ask to sit at their Mexican side its super cute. I love their milkshakes they always serve 1 and half servings which is ideal if you’re a party of two. My favourite is their beyond burger its delicious.
