Resto Notes: Big Rig and Ralph and Sons

Ralph & Sons Diner

Ralph & Sons Diner is a family-owned operation located in a strip mall on Carling Avenue, Ottawa. It has been in operation for over 50 years. I arrived for breakfast and perused the menu. Their omelet’s, among them mushroom veggie, Western and Ham ‘N’ cheese, with your choice of toast on the side are among the favorites. You can order breakfast here from opening to closing time.

If lunch is more your style, then you’re in luck! The place has a variety of delicious dishes for you to choose from such as the four-piece chicken fingers, smoked meat on rye, or the fish and chips! They also have tasty clubs and to top it all off, homemade rice pudding. You can dine in, pickup or order via one of the apps.

I ordered the smoked meat special — two farm fresh eggs, Montreal smoked meat, home fries toast and jam as well as my traditional decaf coffee. I added in some crispy pieces of bacon. You can find Ralph & Sons Diner at 3420 Carling Avenue. It is open 7am to 2 pm Wednesday to Sunday. Visit www.ralphandsons.com or call 613-828-0697.
