Our Story

The King Eddy opened on December 15th, 2014. Located in Ottawa's historic Byward Market, the 'Eddy' is home to Ottawa's best Burger, All Day Breakfast, Hand Cut Fries, Shakes and Fried Chicken! We offer a wide variety of classic 'diner' type fare that is made fresh in house every day with quality ingredients.

The legendary King Eddy Burger is a double cheeseburger freshly ground in-house that is classically simple and delicious (no ‘gourmet’ burgers here folks!). Our famous Northern Fried Chicken is hand-breaded to order with our own secret spice blend; enjoy it on a sandwich or by the bucket (seriously)! For the breakfast traditionalist, we offer the King Eddy All Day Breakfast; our version of the classic two-egg breakfast with real hand-cut potatoes and homemade chili for only $10.99 ($8.99 for your early birds). But for those looking to venture out of their breakfast comfort zone try the Locco Mocco, a rice bowl topped with two King Eddy beef patties, gravy, and sunny fried egg - you will not be disappointed!

We also offer an extensive beverage menu that includes local craft beer, wine on tap, signature cocktails, and some amazing milkshake flavors (Cookies & Cream or Nutella anyone?) and soda floats.

At The King Eddy we hope to offer an experience that is non-intimidating, family-friendly, and one that people gravitate to for all occasions. As much as the food and drink are great, we want the atmosphere, the music, and the King Eddy culture to be a big part of the equation for a memorable visit: #KElovesall.

The food was great, everyone loved what they ordered. However, when the time came to pay the bill, the waitress took advantage of having foreign customers at the table & informed everyone that she had already chosen the tip amount. This was insulting & unprofessional. Customers are not responsible for providing a living wage for employees. The incident happened on September 2nd, 2023, at around 10 pm. We were sitting outside at the corner of the patio.View more

I want to start this off, I never write reviews especially poor ones. In all my years dining places I've never come across a place so incredibly disappointing to the point where the last time I ate there (I've been over 20+times) I ended up waiting over an hour for food which is a regular occurrence but this time in particular I felt dirty almost wrong like I was apart of the "family". If you go other places & read the majority of the poor reviews you'll already come the residing common theme of racism, staff worked to the bone( resulting in no one wanting to be there = poor service.) The owners coming in & pocketing tips & working on the floor at the busiest times to collect money for themselves off the floor. I've witnessed these things happen myself whether picking up breakfast or lunch. My final straw was it was a hot day all the doors open & it was packed! Servers running around like chickens while Lindy Thompson sat at the bar drinking heckiling them. I notice she does this thing where she smiles like the grinch to fake being nice when she's actually shaking her employee on the floor. A family of 6 people of color were waiting at the door & they had 2 little girls & the dad has asked the owner if they could get some water just while they wait cause it was hot & I over heard the OWNER clear as day say "do you need the washroom code" I was so shocked I couldn't believe what I saw so the family took the girls outside after another 25 minutes of waiting as they continued too seat other people before them in line. I got up packed my meal I waited entirely too long for didn't tip I left & gave it too a homeless man as I was that disturbed that people like that still exist. Too anybody who reads this I am so sorry if you've ever had a bad experience here. Don't let this discourage you from trying other places as I've eaten around for over 25 years. This is not the norm. Shame on you.

This restaurant has solid food, but pretty steep prices. However, the main downfall of this restaurant is the service. The staff was not rude by any means, but certainly not friendly or welcoming & were very slow. We waited well over an hour to get food on a busy day, & on a seperate day where we were practically the only ones in the restaurant we still waited the better part of 45 minutes. We were never checked on during our meal either. Additionally, we had flagged a waitress down to ask for more coffee cream, which never came. We tried a second time, still to no avail. Waiting for the bill to arrive is another story too- it was much slower than I would expect on both visits. Perhaps this restaurant is understaffed, but it did not seem like it. None of us could recommend this restaurant based on service alone.View more

A new Ottawa restaurant fave! So hard to decide what to get from the menu! Every item read so deliciously! Ended up getting some milkshake & float, Grilled Cheese with Jalapeño & Tomato Soup, Quebec Poutine & Mac & Cheese. The milkshakes were an okay size. We finished them way before we got our food. Given, they were so good! The portions are massive! There was no need for me to add the tomato soup to my grilled cheese. The Mac & Cheese was simply delectable! I would order for myself next time! & the poutine I could dangerously have everyday!

Staff were patient & friendly & very helpful with recommendations.

Will certainly be back for more!View more

Service was good. Atmosphere was nice & clean. Food was acceptable but pretty pricey. I don't love their home fries, need to be more crispy on the outside & soft/fluffy on the inside. They're gift card system was down but obviously not the server's fault.View more

We were a group of 3 people so we were seated immediately as we arrived. Everything seems to be going well until we placed our order & had to wait over AN HOUR to get our food. Once we finally got it, our friend ordered a Dr.Pepper. After a few minutes went by & no one had brought it, he decided to go inside & asked another server. Our server went over to ask what he needed & they reminded him about the Dr.Pepper. My friend came back to the table as he was told they'll bring it to the table. After a few minutes we had to ask a third server for the drink so he could finally get it. In conclusion, HORRIBLE & SLOW service!
The food was acceptable, nothing out of this world. My friend got chicken & waffles, the waffles were cold but as we had already waited over an hour, we were starving & decided to just let it go. The eggs Benedict were good but the English muffin was so hard that it was hard to cut with the knife.

This was our second time giving them a chance & can guarantee there will NOT be a third!
