Fil's Diner - Ottawa

I have only been here for breakfast and I must say their Fil's wake up call (basic 2 eggs, hashbrowns, toast and sausage) for 7.50 is a good dish! The hashbrowns are great here and the rest is all pretty good. I have found that later on a Sunday when more locals come in the service is a bit more slack with less frequent check-ins.

I don't know why this place gets so many negative reviews. We go here basically every other weekend and have never had any issues. Food is great, exactly what you would expect from a diner. Servers are friendly. I always get scrambled, sausage with rye toast and always plenty of coffee. The decor is always pretty cool. Bright colours, comic book characters.

Best breakfast spot in town. I have been going there quite often for the past three years since we stumbled in after our car broke down just down the street. They have great staff that are often overworked but do their very best. They are kind and friendly. The breakfast is the best in town but much better on the weekends as opposed to the weekdays. I would recommend this place to anyone.

After our car broke down and had to be towed, our breakfast plans changed and we ended up at Fil's Diner because they serve breakfast until 3 every day, which was a good decision. The atmosphere was retro (the good kind of retro) and they have a typical diner menu. The server was very enthusiastic and happy.

Non pretentious diner. I've been going to Fils for years and find it has something others lack consistency. The eggs are really good the yolks have flavour that the others don't have. The bacon is delicious and cooked right most of the time although sometimes they scrimp on how much you get.The toast is cooked well and buttered right. The shakes are amazing. What I love is that you can walk into any diner in Westboro and find pretentious people who love to pretend they care about where they are eating and what they are eating. At Fils it's regular people from all over Ottawa who know the food is just good. Yes there are some strange characters that come in for bfast but that is the right anyone has as a paying customer. It gives Fils more character and less pretense. I find people watching at Fils one of the good things about it.
