Broadway Bar & Grill Central

I had a delicious brunch here. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff here. Ordered an omelette. It was alright but those home fries are to die for. Everyone at my table whose food came with these starchy nibblets of deliciousness was losing their minds. Would come back again solely for the purposes of eating those home fries again.

I just love this place. It’s my goto greasy spoon breakfast joint. The servers are always up beat, especially the guy that’s always wearing shorts, even in the winter.
Take 3 is my usual and it’s the home fries that keep me coming back again and again. They’re perfect crispness and slathered in this glorious garlic butter sauce that is just dreamy. Sometimes when I’m feeling real ambitious I’ll get an order to go so I can eat them later that day. The sausages are tasty and they’re always cooked well, which I prefer. They also substitute extra bacon for the ham without issue.
Parking is the only real issue at this place, it’s jammed on weekends and the people at the gas station started towing cars that park over on that side decreasing it even more.
Overall I love this place for breakfast and used to frequent it often when I lived in the area. It’s also my favorite location of all the broadways.

I only put one star because I had too.
Personally in my opinion this was the worst place to go and eat.
The food is terrible And my burger was pink and bloody. The seating was not very good Nd the chairs are uncomfortable.
When we were seated there was used plates utensils and cups and cleaned it as we were sitting there.
The server was lazy and did not check on us even once. Only to take our order and give us the bill. I had to walk from the dining area to the bar so that I could get a refill on my pop.
The bill was wrong and had some items from a totally separate table in the bill. Took her 10 min to come over and when I said it was not my order she huffed and walked away. Waiting another 14 min for the bill to be corrected.
I have not been back since and I never will go back. It was defiantly dirty, gross food and terrible service from the server.
No thanks ! Don’t waste your time. Go to a different Broadway’s if anything. The one in Orleans is way better.

On a friends recommendation, my groups of friends and I tried Broadway this morning for Sunday brunch. The rather large restaurant was absolutely packed and hopping with activity — always a good sign. The service at our table was really good. The menu had a lot to offer. I thought the options were maybe a little pricey for breakfast (for example my breakfast of 2 eggs, toast, hash-​browns, bacon and pancakes was $ 14.50). On the other hand, the dish was plentiful and the hash-​browns were rather fabulous. Everything was really good and our table of 8 did not have any complaints. I also thought the java was quite good for a bar&grill/non-coffeehouse coffee.
Yes I would definitely recommend to a friend and would return for brunch again in the future.
It might be useful to know the establish, doesn’t take reservations for Sunday breakfast/​brunch. Our large group had to wait about a half hour for a table.

Really good breakfast spot. Always packed on weekends, but even then service is fast. Their breakfast potatoes are amazing!

Today was the first time in a LONG time that I’ve made breakfast before 10 a.m. Let me tell you Unilocalers, it was totally worth it!
It’s been years since I’ve been to Broadways, but I used to drop by quite a bit when I lived in the ‘hood. I remember the food always being kind of decent, but nothing to write home about. Today was a much better experience!
First of all, we had a fantastic server who was totally on the ball, but not in your face constantly. Just loved her.
Second — we were in a rush. One of my lovely dining companions had a flight to catch so we were on the clock. Our food came fast, warm and delicious. I got a breakfast club in a whole wheat wrap (usually comes on toast), with hashbrowns and a field berry smoothies. Yum yum! My partners in crime got eggs benedict and the other a breakfast special with eggs, meal and toast. All were very happy with their food, though most of us couldn’t finish our hash browns (there were just too many gosh darmint!)
One thing I was very intrigued by but just couldn’t stomach that early? Breakfast poutine! Our server mentioned it’s a huge fave among the later breakfast go-​ers (need to soak up last night’s alcohol anyone?). My favourite thing was my smoothie believe it or not. It was super natural, not über sweet and the berries were delicious.
All in all, this experience absolutely made me excited to head back to Broadways to try some more of their breakfast fare. Who knows, maybe I’ll make it back for dinner and lunch someone soon as well!

Best place for Sunday brunch in Ottawa — especially after a late Saturday night. The menu is broad and even includes smoothies, but the best item is the hash browns which have great flavour! I’ve tried to replicate them, but it’s their own unique seasoning that makes them great.

Ottawa is full of pubs and bars, so it can be a strenuous and time-​consuming task to try them all out to see which one is to become your hang-​out. Broadways is not like many bars in town in the sense that it doesn’t have that UK/​Irish vibe to it. But, like those kind of bars, Broadways is cozy and very friendly. I went there on a Monday night and found the place busy enough for an early weeknight (although far from packed). There was a nice crowd of people hanging out at the bar, giving it hip barfly kind of feeling. The menu is typical bar/​pub grub (wings, sandwiches, nachos, etc.). The wings (my yardstick for measuring a bar’s priciness) were $ 8.99 a pound — way less than many I’ve frequented. The menu also had a HUGE list of cocktails and an impressive list of beers on tap — for about $ 6 for a 20 ounce draft. Not too shabby for this expensive burgh. There are plenty of big screen tvs with the latest game on, so you won’t miss any of the action. Broadways has a great vibe and moderate prices. Give it a try!
