Love ALMOST everything about this place. Staff are great, the food is so good. Their specials are always yummy, especially the gumbo! mmmm make that stuff more often please. Their side serving of spinach is HUGE at brunch which is fantastic. There is one unfortunate drawback...their coffee. You guys are doing everything else sooo well. Buy some good dark roast beans please. Or a little espresso machine for americanos, I would definitely pay for a better coffee. The current coffee used is almost bad enough to ruin the fantastic food. I'll still be back though, the food is good enough to switch to morning tea once a week.
What an amazing, authentic local haunt. Both the service, the food and the value are top notch and after my first visit, it was clear to me it would become a regular dinner option. 10$ beer pitcher, a 15$ burger that was the double the size of your average pub burg and an amazing array of homemade dipping sauces. It's in the middle of nowhere so you know that it has to be good in order to survive. On the random Thursday we went the place was hopping and were lucky to grab the last table. Can't recommend it enough!
Great pub food. One of the best places to have chicken wings in town. Service is top notch and friendly. A regular wednesday (wing night) hangout!
Fantastic. 9 times out of ten your going to get a moderately priced meal that is going to be packed with flavor and great portions I've had one poor dining experience but besides that it's almost always great. It's really nice to see a great restaurant open up in the heart of sandy hill
Very good foo. This is the best food for breakfeast i love it it is my love
Incredible. Best food, great prices, awesome service. It's so unique I know I won't find another place like the SHLAG!
Love this place. One of the best vegie burgers I've ever had, their butter chicken poutine is yummy too! This place is a 5 min walk from my house so I'm there all the time. People are starting to realize how good it is and now they are busy all the time! Oh well they deserve the business :)
Awesome. Everything is good here, prices, service, drinks and food. Wish it was bigger as sometimes it's really hard to get a table.
Love. Love. LOVE. the veggie burger. also, the Cajun greens Benny. I think it's called the sandy hill Benny... SO yum. good hollandaise too. my only complaint is that breakfast is only available on weekends. what's a girl supposed to eat mid-week?!!
Fabulous home made katchup, great service, best pub food in Ottawa
$4 apps!?! awesome.. Went for a snack with a few friends- we ordered several items from the $4 appetizers menu. The dumplings were AMAZING with a great dipping sauce. Wings were great too...The food really is made with care. The atmosphere is super cute and cozy! We will certainly be back.
For me, what can make or ruin a good breakfast is the basics. People in Ottawa are used to good coffee, and at the very least home fries need to be fresh. SHLG needs to do better much better with both. Serving Bridgehead coffee and elevating the home fries would restore my faith.

A special neighbourhood pub. When someone cares about what they do, it shows. The food at SHLaG is always creative and delicious, they serve generous portions, and the prices are very reasonable. That it's in my own 'hood makes it extra special. Bravo!
Really good place to eat and drink.. I went to this place on a Friday night with friends and I must say that I'm impressed. It looks small but it was a comfy environment. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. Highly recommended for a visit.
I'd move in if I could.. I go to SHLAG with my boyfriend and roommates as often as we can. Cheap Moosehead from Mondays-Wednesdays, cheap Pabst on all the other days, and $4 apps (the cajun remoulade is heaven in your mouth). Weekends they have the best brunch in the neighbourhood - you've got to try the Breakfast Kaiser.. and the Mitchell's Green Chili sauce. Go, go, go.
Been coming here with my girl since we started dating, great wing night! The beer is always cold and the company great. Head on down for a great meal!
Breakfast kaiser was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Two amazing slices of ham, cheesy eggs, and fresh veggies on an amazing kaiser. It's like a croissant and a kaiser made sweet dirty love, and we get to eat their babies.
Great "local". I can't say enough good things about this place. if you live in Sandy Hill, this is YOUR LOCAL WATERING HOLE. Pub food is reasonably priced and of excellent quality, everything is lovingly home-made (including the ketchup!). It also have some interesting historical momentos on display about Sandy Hill. Excellent value for money and a great atmos. If in the neighbourhood - GO! Brunch is awesome, daily specials always a pleasant surprise.
A Gem. This great little spot is a real gem. I'm truly abashed that I didn't get to sample any offerings from the ecclectic looking menu (other dinner plans, unfortunately). The bar, however, is a fine bit of wood (supposedly its pedigree dates to prohibition era Chicago). Service was friendly and knowledgable. I shall certainly return with an appetite!
So good it should be a secret.... The menu out of this small kitchen is outstanding - specials rival +++$$ meals from Ottawa's whoop-dee-la-la bistros. prices are fantastic and the staff cheerful and human. a small sign behind the bar warns 'be nice or leave' - a philosophy I can certainly live with. Weekend brunch is wickedly good. Wine list short but very competent. Run don't walk to get there...actually stroll by and relax is more the spirit. Cheers!
Food dude. Was in for brunch, they use real bone in ham with the brunch WOW it was goood. Took a look at the nights specials, I will be going back, I have heard that the Gumbo is something not to be missed.
Awesome. My girlfriend and I have eaten at the Sandy Hill Lounge and Grill many times. Food is always awesome, the gumbo is best gumbo that I have had. If you go for brunch, do yourself a favour and try the French Toast Waffles.
We will surely return for Wing Night and to try the burger, which we hear so much about.
