Lumbertown Ale House - Ottawa, Ontario

Lumbertown is normally my go-to choice when eating out but the last few times I visited have been a bit disappointing. I love that they have so many local beers on tap, and the atmosphere is always good. The food is unfortunately nothing special and could use some seasoning. I ... had the Chicken club the other day, and it was lacking seasoning, sauce and flavor. Our servers didn't check in on us, and we had to wait a while to place our order and to get the bill. I used to work in a restaurant and understand that things get busy and staff are working hard, but it was unfortunate because I felt like I didn't have the opportunity to provide feedback on our experience.

Stopped by for a quick bite on our way back to Ottawa. I loved that I can pick 3 different choices of tacos; picked shrimp, steak and fish. It was DELICIOUS and TASTY. The food is fresh and perfect blend of flavors. 🤤🤤🤤 For drinks I ordered ... Lumbertown Lemonade. You can choose the fruit and alcohol you like. I chose Mixed Berry with gin.. Citrusy but needed more gin. Service and staff was great. Even with busy crowd the food was served in timely manner. They also gave live music on Saturday. Will come back again. Read more

We stopped in for lunch on Sunday, and we were 8 ppl. We had a reservation, and our table was all set. We all, but one, ordered the Craft Beer battered fish and chips, The fish was excellent. The chips could have been cooked a little more, but no one ... complained. We ordered a big plate of nachos, we shared, and they were fantastic. I think we could have eaten 2 of these, lol. My niece had the special of the day, which was gnocchi, which was made from small potatoes and a fennel sauce, and she loved it. I was most impressed with our server. When we arrived we were the 2nd group to come in, we all looked at our menus and ordered, as we were doing this, the Lumbertown started to fill up pretty fast, and the lone server managed to seat serve deliver everyone's food and drinks hand our bills without missing a beat. I was impressed, and I mentioned this to her. One person served probably over 40 ppl. Awesome, great job! In short, food was excellent, and the service excellent, washrooms were very clean. I'll be back to eat here again and try other dishes I hear are worth trying out. Cheers! Read more

Had a very pleasant lunch here during a stop in Arnprior. The veggie burger I ate was quite good, while the beer from Cold Bear Brewing Co. (which is from Arnprior) that my server recommended was excellent. While eating, I saw a sign that they have live music on Saturday evenings, ... something I will keep in mind as I would happily come back here. Read more

Fantastic food and service (considering how busy it was for the two servers). Nice ambiance too. You can tell they use quality ingredients and the chef knows what they’re doing with them! Can’t wait to find an excuse to go back!
