wellington diner

i was looking to try a newbreakfastplace and read a couple of good reviews for this place. i walked in on mother's day and was seated immediately at thebreakfastbar. the server recommended the eggs benedict with lobster, spinach, cheddar and bacon. i went with it and i was seriously pleased with the recommendation. the flavours blended perfectly with each other and the homefries gently spiced. the owner was personable and the waitress friendly and attentive. i will definitely be back, but next time i'm bringing friends.

went forbreakfastand was surprised at how many choices there was for a diner. we had to wait a while to be seated (30 min) but once seated coffee came quickly as did food once ordered. service was good and prices are real reasonnable. the place is open 24h which is nice. the breakfasts are good, tasty but the pancake was a little disapointing. great experience overall for breakfast. would recommend

was always thebreakfastto go place. theirbreakfastspecial is cheap and filling. there is also unique menu items like green eggs and ham. can get busy tho.

been here a couple of times, always satisfied. most recently, i went in the afternoon when it wasn't busy, still was a nice atmosphere. got thebreakfastpoutine and it was delicious. the staff were all very nice and friendly.

looked up on sites and found a nearby restaurant for brunch. the website seemed to suit our needs but upon reaching it was closed for renovation. 

went up to this diner for brunch. seemed quite busy, and we were seated in about 10 minutes. 

lots of uber eats drivers picking up food. 

between the four of us we ordered a scrambled with toast and home fries, but replaced the eggs with tofu for about $2 extra - not worth extra for sure and overall the dish lacked any flavour. in our opinion it should be a discount not extra for the amount of tofu replaced. and even than probably not worth. the "green onion homies" are nothing but home fries with a few chopped green onions on top the potatoes were the frozen kind. fancy name but nothing new in your palate. only one slice of bread-because it was rye?

we ordered # 1 omelette which was very good. the brie came up nicely

we also ordered a off the menu item called grilled cheese with benedict with chipotle hollandaise rather than the regular. this dish was good but the chipotle holly was below average

we ordered a traditionalbreakfastwith no meat and was surprised with the quantity of eggs. did not seem 2 eggs at all. may be one. the fries hardly any and just one slice of toast-perhaps i ordered a whole wheat?

and finallybreakfastpoutine. which was good. the coffee was good, but had to ask for seconds and that's it. shouldn't they come asking if we needed more?

little less than $90 for abreakfastfor four. quite expensive for my budget and not sure if i would return back.

it is always an amazing experience! service is fast, genuine, and very friendly. i could talk for hours about the wonderful dishes since the menu is so expansive.breakfastprices are very reasonable and so tasty, i recommend the mother clubber (the gluten free bread is super tasty). my lunch go to is the blackened steak salad which is a fresh wonderful array of flavours. the california club is an awesome lunch time or dinner option. lastly, must try the rueben... super flavourful and really an awesome comfort food meal.

brunch/breakfast rating. the peeps at esd can make abreakfastand wellington diner does it well. had the californian eggs benny- must try. avocado on with eggs is always good. not a fan of the blueberry pancakes, still searching for a ada's replacement. still just not the same with out those two around.

off the charts!. this diner in westboro is off the charts forbreakfastand lunch diner foods and service. the new owner has got something happening here so hats off to him.

coming back again to try the smoked meat grilled cheese sandwich delight !!

weekly tradition forbreakfastwith the family. i can only review based on breakfast, despite being a full out resto.breakfastat the wellington diner:

-friendly, charming staff and room.
-sippy cups for babies and toddlers!
-plenty of selection, from greasy to light - adifferent eggs benedict all the time.
-fresh flavours, fresh smoothies.
-accomodating: quite willing to swap homefries for something healthier. i always get the salad with their hair on your chest garlic dressing to complement the benedict of the day.

-kind suggestiong: the coffee is blah. not sure what is in use, but it is lacking.

ive tried thebreakfastplaces in ww and westoboro, and this is the absolute best mix of price, quality, and atmosphere.

meatball sandwich. the best in town. plus thebreakfastis amazing. run do not walk.......

miss ottawa. .great pace.breakfastwas perfect. lot's of people. nice spot for people watching. i hear the burger is great. real fresh patties with works. next time for sure try it.

mac n cheese carbonarra to the max. this mac n cheese blew me away and best i have ever had. the top has a crispy crunchy cheesy au gratin crust. all the macs are made to order and are not the regular to be found elsewhere. this quality diner has plenty of other specialties like all their benny's especially their california kid. other notables are the lobster poutine,breakfastpoutine, house made meatloaf, grilled cheese sandwiches, cob salad, green eggs and ham and the mother clubbers with avocado on rideau bakery egg bread. this little diner "that could" is serving up family food at family prices. it's iconic 50's decor, it's historical ottawa photos and warm caring sociable staff make for a great ambiance. the kitchen meets and supercedes all expectations. glad to make this my new hangout.

friendly service. nice brightly light room to read the paper and have a standardbreakfastyour way. coffee is ok but again its a dinner. the place reminds me of a throw back diner and i like that. it is cheap and it delivers.

we went forbreakfaston father's day, it was a first for all six of us and it will not be the last! the service was awesome from the minute we stepped in. coffee was free flowing, never saw the bottom of my cup. food was delicious, pulled pork omelette was a hit with me and all six of us were pleased with our breakfast! ;)))

went forbreakfastbecause we couldn't get into john's diner. service was efficient but not overly friendly. scrambled eggs were overcooked. bacon was overcooked. the home fries were tasty. pancakes were large, plentiful and tasty.

basically a $5breakfastfor $8. i'm pretty sure most of the other patrons were also spill over from john's diner.

never had a bad meal. i've been to the diner many times for bothbreakfastand dinner, but i've never once had a bad meal. the last time we went, i ordered the veggie wrap because frankly most restaurants have poor vegetarian options and i didn't know what to expect. it tasted awesome. whoever writes their menu has a great talent for understanding flavours.

if you like milkshakes, i strongly recommend the mocha milkshake. it tastes like a coffee crisp.
