Bobby's Table - Ottawa

Went to Bobby's at 2:20 to get a quick brunch, we were rushed by the server saying they close at 3pm and to order quick (which I get, you dont really want to have to stay later- not the best staff etiquette however) Decided to just get a hot chocolate and coffee to go instead... The hot chocolate had bugs in it. there was a BIGGER one on my tongue which looked like a roach. It was revolting and I wont recommend eating at a place that has bugs in their food/drinks...

When I asked if I could have a glass of water, I was told they only serve bottled water at a cost. I asked if that was legally allowed, so the owner came over with no mask on and confronted me. I asked him the same question and he went on to say the price of tap water increased, and that they don 't legally need to offer it, and to Look it up . Great service. From what I can tell, they serve alcohol, and therefore DO need to serve water. The bacon was half burnt, the smallest cup of coffee you can imagine was charged seperste from the breakfast and had 0 refills. There was also this bug walking around beside our table, and it is middle of winter outside, so it definitely is living in the restaurant.

I heard so much about this place, but its really run down. The toilets did not work. The place was a mess. As for the food, I had smoked meat poutine which was a disaster. The price for it was 13.95, when I went to pay for it she rang it up as 18.75, I looked at her and she turned away. Sad.

Located in Vanier,The lady thats normally there has a heart of gold super nice and helpful and food is beyond delicious and also excellent pricing and value ,even breakfast menu is amazing.

Hate to knock a local small business, but...cockroaches. I'll never go there again. I've been twice and the food is decent for standard eggs and greasy spoon food. The vibe and the service is not very clean and not very fancy, but I didn't have any major objections. But...While we were eating some customers came storming out of the kitchen yelling about cockroaches. It was a little unsettling but we weren't sure if it was some kind of personal thing or altercation or a person who was a little out of it. And you know what? I've travelled and eaten in restaurants in different places and bugs are sometimes just a reality with kitchens. But after we had finished our meal, a cockroach crawled out on our table from somewhere not our food I hope!? and onto my friend. We were at the front of the restaurant, nowhere near the kitchen so if there are cockroaches crawling around out there, who knows what the kitchen looks like. The server was apologetic and comp'ed our meal which I guess is the right thing to do, but I certainly will never go back and don't recommend that you go either :
