Steele’s Restaurant - Ottawa, Ontario

Came with my 3 year old son. The staff are so kind, and enjoyable, I just knew walking in here I was going to love it. The meat is great, vegetables are fresher than even the grocery store some how lol! Whether on break from work, solo, or with family, ... this is exactly what we all look for in a diner and so glad there are still REAL and quality diners like this around. Will be back for sure Read more

Very nice place for breakfast. I found this place on Google Maps, stopped in this morning and had a great breakfast plate with a generous portion of eggs, toast, home fries, ham, bacon & sausage. Coffee was included with the meal and service was excellent. I would highly recommend this ... place to locals and visitors, it's very affordable and quality food. I really enjoyed it and I'll be back soon. Read more

This was a great place for a hole in the wall breakfast! Good food, incredible service and the prices are amazing. We can't wait to come back for breakfast (again) and lunch!

I recently visited Steel's Restaurant at 1900 Merivale Road, a dining spot with over two decades of history in the community. Regrettably, the experience did not match the high expectations I had set considering its longstanding presence. Upon entering the nearly empty restaurant, I was promptly greeted and served by a ... friendly and efficient waitress. I ordered my usual breakfast: two poached eggs, bacon, potatoes, and rye toast, with the meal including a complimentary cup of coffee. Unfortunately, the coffee was a letdown—lukewarm and was the last remnant from the pot. The meal itself arrived quickly but fell short of satisfactory. The potatoes left me puzzled; I couldn’t discern if they were fried or deep-fried, and after a single taste, I abandoned the remainder. The eggs were overdone, and to my disappointment, the toast comprised three small end slices of a rye loaf. A second cup of coffee, which was never offered, would have been a small but significant gesture of attentive service. Financially, while the price aligned with that of a nearby competitor I had reviewed previously, the quality and overall dining experience starkly contrasted. This breakfast at Steel's Restaurant was notably lacklustre and left much to be desired. I offer this review in a constructive spirit, hoping it will be received as such. There is certainly room for improvement. A great breakfast can hinge on the quality of its simplest components, such as well-prepared potatoes. Steel’s has the potential to truly honour its long-established role in the community. Read more

Such a surprise. The food is all home made and very good. 11.95 for an amazing bacon cheeseburger and a mountain of fresh cut fries. What a deal! Everything was so good, and the owners are incredibly kind. This place is a total hidden gem. You’d never even notice this ... place driving by, but do yourself a favor and check it out rather than going to a fast food chain. You absolutely won’t regret it! Read more
