What Alyssa Joanlanne likes about Fil's Diner:
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. View all feedback. What Kat La Page Carriere doesn't like about Fil's Diner:
Last time we'll visit ever. Absolutely disgusting. Fil's has gone downhill. I feel sick to my stomach. The batter on the BF's fish and chips was raw, made him sick to his stomach. I ordered a HOT chicken sandwich and the chicken was literally ICE COLD only the bread and gravy was heated. Chicken is not even actually chicken, it's sliced sandwich meat chicken. Not impressed at all. Thanks for making us sick to our sto... View all feedback.

Located in Ottawa, Fil's Diner seems to have a mixed reputation among patrons. While some have had unpleasant experiences, such as finding raw batter in their fish and chips or cold chicken in their sandwiches, others have praised the all-day breakfast and friendly service. The restaurant offers a 50s-style diner atmosphere, complete with old music playing in the background, and is connected to a pub and bowling alley for added entertainment. Despite some negative reviews, many patrons have found Fil's Diner to be a local gem, with tasty food and great service.
