407 Laurier Ave W, Ottawa, ON K1P 5N7, Canada
My wife and I were looking for a good lunch today in downtown Ottawa. Manhattan just delivered beyond our expectations. Service was fast and super friendly. We ordered a Phily burger, fries and coffee. Delicious and filling. If you're looking for great food, go here waste no time.
Poutine is good, downside is their hours of operation are small windows of opportunity. Understandable though given where they're located in Ottawa.
When I worked at the location inside the place de ville building I went there almost every day to get my fries and gravy It was that delicious and great price and great portions I also tried breakfast there and I'm usually picky about my eggs but it was made perfectly The people that work there are always friendly and positive attitude which makes you enjoy going even more
I got the southwest wrap combo , it was very good . Thank you!
First time here. The Philly Burger was excellent, the fries where not edible. Burnt to a crisp. I would have gone back but I had to return to work.
Manhattans Hand-Made Burgers: A Flavor Explosion on Laurier Ave. From the moment we set foot inside, the warm-hearted employees of Manhattans Hand-Made Burgers extended their hospitality, effortlessly setting the stage for our impending culinary adventure. Their attentive service was just the beginning of what turned out to be a meal to remember. Drawn to its tantalizing promise, I ordered the peppercorn ranch burger accompanied by a side of their crispy fries. The burger, while not winning any awards for its presentation, was a masterpiece in terms of taste. Its slightly messy appearance belied the flavor-packed punch it packed within. The patty was succulent and juicy, while the fresh ingredients melded together in a harmonious blend. The peppercorn sauce provided a zesty kick, amplifying the overall taste. The fries, golden and perfectly seasoned, were the ideal companion to the burger. The burger's hearty size and abundance of fresh ingredients presented a delightful challenge, as it playfully threatened to fall apart with every bite. This wasn’t a drawback, but rather a testament to its generous stuffing and authenticity. A piece of advice for fellow diners: an ample supply of napkins will be your best friend during this delicious endeavor! At roughly $20 for the combo, I felt the meal offered substantial value for money, especially given the quality and portion size. All in all, Manhattans Hand-Made Burgers stands out not only for its flavors but as a spot I'll eagerly return to during future visits to Laurier Ave.
Absolutely amazing place to grab a breakfast or lunch! The poutines and burgers are fantastic and they are very accommodating to specific diets!
The location is fairly easy to access, parking can be a little bit tough. Other then that walk inside 407 Laurier and it's just straight ahead in the food court. Good burgers and frys. Fair price.
Excellent service and decent food.
Great food great service I just wish there was a location that was open 7 days a week and open later than 3pm
Food here is delicious, serving size is also very generous.
One of the best burgers in town.
Prices are high; however, they make sense given location. Combos are intelligently priced and tastefully worthwhile. Well-staffed. Good service. Owner is a good guy. Seasoning is very well done. Also a big fan of their blue cheese dressing in both the burger as well as wrap.
Absolute best breakfast sandwiches
Ordered the western sandwich on brown, bread was barely toasted, it was just warm bread.
Best fast food burgers in Ottawa by far. Better than most restaurants while you re at it too. It is in a mall, so a pain to get to. Service varies but it was ok from my last visit Parking: Somewhat far away and the roads are tiny but that is Ottawa for you
Amazing and tasty burgers,I would say the best in town,so juicy and delicious,you would enjoy the taste and flavor for a while after your meal,they do serve halal meat.fantastic service and fresh meat.
Amazing place, amazing burgers please stop by and support these guys!!
Best hidden gem in downtown Ottawa. Best egg n becon wraps ever invented, not to mention tastiest omelettes...knock on wood!! It doesnt get any better than this. Try it!! Your only regret will be ... why didnt you discovered it early!!Lol
More people need to be aware of this place. Its absolutely a hidden gem. The burgers are generous portions for what you pay, and the patty is so soft. All ingredients are tasty and fresh. Served quickly, and a nice seating area nearby.
The food here is delicious. 100% recommend. Glad we found it on our trip to Ottawa.
undercooked, over priced garbage
Really good place for the hamburgers. There handmaded. Its worth every penny you spend there. Always fun shopping when Im around downtown Ottawa
Very great and quick service, kind prices make sense.
Good burgers. The poutine is excellent as well.
Overpriced. And is this even still open what with the CoVID closures and downtown core not just anymore ?
Manhattan s makes the best burgers in Ottawa I swear - the owner is always very friendly and kind. Food is served hot fresh and tasty very happy they were able to stay open through out the pandemic and afterward
Some of the best burger comf food in Ottawa. Always go here when Im in the city.
Best burgers in Ottawa
Amazing Burger and Fries (Chipotle burger with extra sauce please!) Delicious wraps too. I drive half way across the city to pick this up for lunch! Friendly service and you can tell theyre proud to have the longest line in the food court! Dont let a bit of a line scare you though, they really keep the queue moving quickly.
Great poutine!
An explosion of deliciousness!!! Real home-made burgers. Support local businesses like Manhattans. #ottawa
Poutine fries were undercooked. Burger was really good. Not the best in town by a long shot. Especially for the insane price. Its good.
If you havent tried this place I totally recommend giving it a shot, the food is good and the service is better.
Best burger in town
First the good, they really do have the best burgers in Ottawa. Some people claim 5Guys is also good but they have no idea what theyre talking about. The Bad, its not cheap. A burger, fries and coke will cost you around fifteen. But you wont be disappointed.
Food is great, but it takes some time because they cook everything fresh.
Delicious ! I absolutely love this place. The food is fresh and tasty. The owner and his employees are super nice. Generous portion sizes. Must ask for the fry spices on your fries. Yummy : )
Great breakfast service and menu. Love the home fries. Lunch burgers are good too. Rarely disappointed here.
Amazing food! Keep up the great work
Best burgers and fast food in town hands down
Best burgers and fries around, without a doubt. And friendly service to boot!
Absolutely horrendous. Ordered off ubereats and they literally got every single item wrong in the order. They put cheese on a no cheese (allergy) food order, no sauce on one of the burgers, freezing cold coagulated gravy and poutine, and our side of fries was completely missing after waiting over an hour for the food due to the restaurant delaying it . Don t know if it was an off night, but definitely don t get that impression when everything in the order is trash
Omg the best poutine ever....love this place
I mean for mall fast food, this place is great. Big chicken tenders and good fries. Close to my apartment, has been a nice treat every so often.
Best BLT in the city. The kind you remember from your childhood lol. Bread is perfectly toasted, abundant bacon, ripe tomatoes, perfect amount of mayo. My go-to BLT!
One of the best burger places in ottawa it actually looks and tastes handmade
Friendly staff, almost always quick service. Great options like avacado and egg. Lettuce wrap instead of a bun available.
Wow what a meal! Huge portions, absolutely delicious. Try it if you get a chance
Average cripsy chicken wrap. The flavour isnt very special.
Best breakfast downtown no question. Awesome friendly staff and owner.
I tried the cheese burger with fries and loved it. Will come back again to try the other burgers!
Very tasty, a bit pricey
Great food, I find the portions way too big however.
Excellent place great owner
Love the food.nobody does burger and fries better
Had the most delicious burger and the poutine was amazing !!! Such generous portions and friendly staff!! Will definitely go back for another poutine if they keep up with those portions! Great value. Cant wait to go back for my next lunch out !
Love the fries and crispy chicken burgers. Delicious!
Always good. Great burger, fresh cut fries. Awesome value for what you pay.
Avocado burger is my favorite. Lettuce wrap option available for Gluten Free goodness.
Its an okayish place. Nothing out of ordinary, really.
Great burger and POUTINE place! Give the carnivore a try.
Always fresh and great burgers
I go there for breakfast whenever I can, great staff who somehow remember you and sometimes your order :-)
Awesome service and food.
This place does not disappoint. Not cheap (specially the wraps given the size) but so delicious so I keep going back :)
If you are working downtown Ottawa and looking for a place to have breakfast, you cant go wrong with Manhattan Handmade Burgers. I often miss breakfast, so I grab a breakfast wrap sandwiches and they are AMAZING. Excellent service and tasty food. I highly recommend this place.
Food here is always top notch, staff is always well organized, friendly and fast. Great lunch spot downtown!
I give this place five stars mainly because of the service. The owner is very friendly, and the staff attentive. If there is an issue, he will make it right. The prices are comparable to the other wares in the building ($$) but the portion (albeit greasy) are generous. I seldom go at the busy lunch hour as the line up can be curving. I go between 1:30-3:00pm and I consistently get good service. Their breakfast options are also ideal too.
Very fast and good
Very good burgers. Love their burgers. Good services. Staff happy to help.
I love this place! Great food and great people!
Excellent poutine here, especially for the price. Always made fresh for your order and the staff is super friendly especially when you just say Hi, how are you. I have indulged in their delicious fatty food more than a few times.
Always great service. Check out the breakfast
Awesome food and service!!!!
Their greasy spoon breakfast is a little bit pricy, but still hits the spot.
Hadnt been there in years but I drove across town today to grab a burger and fries. Awesome food, love this place.
Great burgers, generous portions and friendly service. A bit pricey, but worth it!
Great food
Great burgers and fries, great people working there as well.
Great selection of burgers. Huge portions.
Realy friendly staff. Breakfast are so tasty and made with fresh and real food. Would recommand and go back for sure!
Line was long got food fairly fast, good overall
For a takeaway counter, $15 might seem like a lot for a sandwich, fries, and a can of pop. But they are very generous with their portions - - the fries especially - - and the food was really tasty. Dont expect the healthiest food in the world, but thats to be expected with a burger and fries joint. Their poutine is also a standout. Id go back.
Really good hamburgers. They are home-made. Great poutines as well. Amazing service, always friendly and well managed. Unfortunately, Ive gotten the green apple splatters several times after eating here.
Awesome burgers as usual.
Good burgers and onion rings. Id eat there again for sure.
Great burger at a decent price. Good central location for lunch.
Their poutine with seasoned fries keeps me coming back weekly! Their staff is always super friendly as well
Great hidden jam. Food is good for breakfast or lunch . Lots to choose from and will satisfy any hunger for burgers, wraps, poutine and more
Really nice burger considering it is in Minto Place. Service was fast and the Peppercorn ranch burger was delicious. For $10, it was a worthwhile meal.
These are basically fancy burgers for fast food prices. How could that go wrong?! Theyre super tasty and the portions are quite generous. You can get a very satisfying meal for around $10 and the service is nice and quick. The only drawback is that theyre in a food court that closes quite early and sometimes we wish we could grab a burger from them off hours because of how tasty they are!
Burgers and fries are very good! Employee are fun to talk too and service is quick.
Went to the one at Laurier after 5 pm, took 10 minutes to be served even though I was the only one standing waiting to order. The lady working the cash apparently thought it was more important to stock her vegetables rather than take my order, we had made eye contact several times. Ordered the club sandwich and took it up to my desk at work, ate a few bites before noticing a long black hair in the middle of the sandwich, threw it in the trash. Worst experience in years, wont be going back.
Very big portions and food very good
Always fresh and quality service.
The burgers are fresh tasty and staff is friendly
Good place to have lunch! Fries are good!
Delicious
Great burger and poutine
Fantastic food! Excellent staff
Ordered off of uber eats. Food was great and the delivery was very fast. We got a burger, crispy chicken wrap, fries ad onion rings. Everything was cooked and packaged perfectly!
The burgers are so juicy. A little more on the pricy side but they are really filling and taste amazing
Great food, excellent and friendly staff.
This place is great food for breakfast and lunch. Some of the best breakfast wraps ive had. Always fresh made when you order! The staff are awesome and friendly.
Serve the best veggie wrap I have ever had.
This is a great burger spot. My husband and I drop by either for breakfast or lunch once in a while. The owner is super friendly and remembers names. I would say they are even better than the Works Restaurant.
Great food
Good place for lunches. Lots of variety, and different burgers. I personally really like their crispy chicken.
We go at least once a week. The only down side is that it gets busy. The burgers, wraps and even the poutine are good. Prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly.
Food is always excellent, staff are very friendly. It does get very busy at lunch time, but fresh, made-to-order burgers do take time. Worth the wait.
Nothing but the best! Put spices on your fries!
Best Burgers!!!
Good wraps
Pretty quick service with a good selection of burgers. Get the seasoning on your fries. Its good.
burgers ok, not sure what the fuss is all about service was a bit slow and I was there off peak hours
Awesome burgers and breakfast.
Fantastic burgers and amazingly friendly staff at this location! Im working my way through the menu and havent found anything I havent liked, so far. I tried the avocado burger, last time, and it just POPPED! The avocado was wicked fresh and perfectly ripe and the combination was sublime. I think that my favourite is still the poutine wrap (with a burger patty added to it... lol). Keep up the great work!
For the time you spend waiting, youd hope they at least dont screw your order up. But they manage to. They forget the order of who should be served based on when orders are placed and charge way too much for the okay food, AWFUL timing, attention to detail (i.e. cheese on a burger/gravy on your fries), and crappy customer service. The owner does look like a total sleeze and hides in the back to avoid seeing unhappy customers fighting each other to reach in for their food orders - it doesnt surprise me. I wont be back.
First try of Manhattan Burgers at Laurier today. I had the Big Texas burger and fries and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, homemade burger and hand cut fries. Even though it was lunchtime and there was quite a lineup, service was quick. Ill definitely go back.
If you time it right, speed of service isnt bad. Just dont expect fast service right at the peak lunch hour. Quality of food is good, burgers are fried though.
The best place to have a hamburger. Also they make a great poutine
Be careful, some locations are better than others. The Laurier and Queen locations are the best. The Sparks location is the worst. I eat at the Sparks location about once a week. The service is horribly slow (10 - 15 minute wait for a burger and fries - at 11:30!) and they only get my order right about half the time (I order the same thing each week). I cant entirely blame the poor service of the Sparks location on the staff, however, since they seem to all be new every 3-4 weeks!
My review is on the Owner of this location, which in my opinion, who owns the place makes for return customers or not. He is extremely unprofessional. They were looking to hire for cashier help, called me in for an interview and everything seemed great. During the interview he did happen to mention that one of his chiefs is in his words a serious alcoholic , that all of the guys there like to party hard and drink alot , which really is no type of subject matter for an owner to be using in an interview. Things seemed to be going well and he told me that he deffently wanted to bring me in to try me out, and he promised to call that night or the next day to sched. my first day going in. Ofcourse he didnt. A week passed and he failed to return my email. I went on google to find the number to give him a call and found nothing but bad reviews about him and how he runs his business. Paying employees late as I read and treating people with a lack of respect. Funny enough my aunt was telling me over thanksgiving that she had ate at a manhattans and was disguested to see one of the food prep people picking their nose in the front , near the cash. I asked which location it had been and go figure. I would never eat at a place where the owner has a lack of professionalism and respect for people he interviews or people he works with.
I was disgusted with this place. One of the workers was picking her nose while I was eating. I couldnt believe it and then asked my wife if she saw the lady worker picking her nose and she agreed. We threw our food out as if we would have complained, she would have spit in the food or worse.
