Bears Den

Bears Den is a true hidden gem in Ottawa! We stopped by for a bite to eat and were absolutely charmed by the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The location is fantastic—situated in a peaceful neighborhood, it offers a perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The decor is stylish yet laid-back, making it very comfortable. I also have to highlight the service: the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and our food arrived promptly. You can really tell they value their guests here. If you are looking for a spot with great food and a warm vibe, you should definitely check this place out. It is the perfect choice for both a family meal or catching up with friends!

This place is famous for their sausage sandwich and it is the absolute best sausage sandwich I’ve ever had. It is delicious. The bar is small but it is a very friendly place with great friendly staff. I highly recommend giving it a try. I have driven 120 miles round trip just to get a sausage sandwich.

Lovely restaurant, disgusting food. Coming from a door dash driver, don't order here. Fries sat out on counter for 12 minutes as well as mozzarella sticks and chicken strips (anyone craving some food poisoning?). For those that do not know: Chicken and Mozzarella sticks must be cooked to 165 and not fall below the danger zone of 140 between the time it takes them to cook the food and bring it to the customer. Chicken and mozzarella sticks are both danger foods as one is meat and the other is dairy. Both of which start growing bacteria over time as they are left in the open without a heat source. Fries, thankfully you probably won't get too sick; maybe some puking from old stale fries. But leaving them out on a counter while cooking meat is a huge no no and should never have happened. Fries should honestly be the last thing in the box after the meat is done; same as mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. Honestly if this place actually had food handlers certificates they would know this stuff and this never would have happened. Originally I was actually excited to return and get food; but I wouldn't eat there now if it were free as the emergency room visit afterwards won't be free.

Eric was phenomenal. Strongly recommend to anyone who wants great food in a cool atmosphere.

Recommended by friends for the sausage sandwich here, so I had to try it. The home of the sausage sandwich, which is a 1/2 pound sausage burger, was fantastic. The place was pretty busy with most people eating when we walked in, a good sign the food is good. The girls were hustling. I love that it's away from the crowds in Ottawa and Utica. The only thing I didn't like was the dolphins jersey on the bear. We will definitely go back.
