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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

December 22, 2013

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.

★★★
December 22, 2012

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.
