May 23, 2012: We stopped here for a late lunch, 2:45 pm, and arrived just as the only other customers were leaving. Directed to the round table in the corner - realized later that she wanted us there so that she couldn't see us! We were given plenty of time to look over the menu, then she took our order.... More

I was a bit hesitant to go when reading the more recent reviews but I have to say I honestly don't know what other people were thinking. This was by far THE best BBQ i've ever had in Ottawa and I've lived here for over 20 years now. The service was great and our waitress had an amazing sense of... More

Have drove by this place 100's of time on my way to work and was always interested in going and then it was on the food networks "You Gotta Eat Here" so finally broke down and drove the 50+km to take my wife there for mothers day worst choice ever. There potato skins were a joke could barely find any... More

What an awful expierience we had. We have been here before and it was the same thing we waited 1.5 hours for our food and had two kids with us. They didnt offer the kids crayons Can't complain about the food it was good. But the rest of it was awful. So SLOW. Won't be going back. More

We have been to D&S a few times now, and the service was never all that great, but the food was, and that is the only reason we go back. Yeah well this past Saturday was a complete BUST! It took 45 mins to get our orders taken and another 1.45 to get our food! I couldn't belive it! It... More

The food is good - for a reuben sandwich with smoked brisket it is $11. However, as per usual the service was terrible. It took our waiter over 20 minutes to come by and ask if we were ready to order our food, and almost an hour and a half to receive it after ordering. This is with 2 little... More

This was a trip made in great anticipation. We arrived for lunch at D&S and were surprised at how BIG the establishment is. Once inside, we were seated and graciously served by the friendly staff. It took awhile to choose what exactly we wanted from the menu (everything was appealing!), but we settled on the "Armadillo Eggs" for an appetizer.... More

Went for lunch with my best friend today, who had heard about D&S BBQ on The Food Network. We decided to go at lunchtime to avoid anticipated crowds, but it wasn't busy and we got excellent, fast and very friendly service from our waitress and a nice chat with the owner, Dave while we ate. More importantly, the food was... More

The ribs unfortunately were under cooked which made us question the whole "texas bbq" method. Seemed more like they were partially cooked and then re-fired. The flavours were good and the pulled pork was delicious. the brisket did not look as I expected it to and again, I wondered about the cooking method. It looked nothing like the brisket at... More
