  Food generally good but do not order for delivery. Waited 2 hrs to get a couple of subs. I only live a couple kilometres too.

  Absolutely terrible no ... DISGUSTING! While in ottawa, all I wanted was a good hot submarine. I searched google for a joint nearby and Fat Albert's came up and my wife remarked on how she loved going there as a kid. The online menu hit home and mentioned tons of beef stacked high and loaded with mushrooms and onions and a special blend of seasoning. I was so excited to go. Walking in, the restaurant ambience was alright, the beer was cold and the waitress, although polite and friendly was practically half asleep. Even after our meal she cleaned up and never returned with the bill and left us wondering how and where to pay, we had to get up and approach her at the main entrance where she was hunched over resting her head on the entry station. She made no apologies for the rudeness and even took a few seconds once we approached to raise her head and acknowledge us. Once the food arrived and was placed in front of us, we instantly looked at one another knowing exactly what each was thinking, YUCK. The first bite proved to be the same. The sub was served open faced on a plate as if proud of what they made. It was horrible and they should be ashamed. There was a minuscule layer of beef which seemed to have freezer burned edges, topped with maybe 6-7 thin slices of mushrooms (tasted like canned and soggy) almost raw onions and an ok layer of cheese. No "special" seasoning anywhere to be found unless they consider the 3 tablespoons of salt they drown the sub in a seasoning. The sub tasted equally terrible the meat was cool to the touch in some places and I'm sure the beef is frozen and then microwaved to order. What I thought to be freezer burned meat was most likely a white dryed out edge from being microwaved. The only bright side to our experience is that we didn't get sick afterwards. The fries were ok but nothing more than the standard crispy cavendish fries that most cheap restaurants get from their suppliers. No reason for any restaurant to serve frozen fries when it's so easy to please customers and make fresh fries with a nice seasoning. Stay away and spend your money somewhere, anywhere else.

  I have an hour lunch, waited 40 min for take out putine chilly, had 20 minutes to eat. I opened it up looked at it, me being starving I had to take it back and ask for money money back. Little bit of fries with a little bit of microwaved chilly for 12.99! I'd rather starve.

  I found it HORRIBLE,,
  Our putin was nasty cold and over half empty, it wasn't even almost good.
  My sub was also half empty and extremely chewy..?
  The only thing that was ok was the kids meal chicken strips., I was surprised as to how full it was. After looking at the receipt tho I realized it wasn't even the kids meal lol and I was charged extra....
  Our bill was 36 dollars it was cold gross half empty and a wrong order. I'll never recommend it or order again obviously.
