Umbrella Burger

Hands down the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in Ottawa. Service was quick, food was hot, ingredients were fresh and staff was very kind. The space is also super clean.

The absolute best smash burger in the city and I’ve tried them all. In a nutshell, umbrella is bigger and they don’t try to mimic anyone. Their home-made sauce is decadent but does not take over the beef, the patties are crunchy on the edges but remain juicy inside, buns are perfectly toasted and the bang for $ is awesome. The dining room on Preston is not great (except in the summer with the patio) but you won’t care after the first bite; it’s an in and out kinda spot. Sweet potato fries and the spicy chicken tenders also deserve an honorable mention. 10/10 👍

The burger itself was very well assembled and nothing fell out of it. It tasted and fresh and it was overall delicious. The pricing is very fair considering how massive the burger is. I also appreciate how easily customizable the burger is and the variety.

The sauces are very runny/thin in my opinion, very difficult to use it as a dip. The patties definitely need seasoning, and you must eat it immediately or else the patties because very tough and dry.

Ordered the Chicken Sandwich and the Single Burger.
The first couple of bites were good but then it just started feeling greasy and weird tasting. It’s a good burger but not the best. I’ve tasted better specially with those prices.

chicken 6/10
beef 7.5/10

If you’re looking for tasty, good-quality burgers, Umbrella Burger is a solid choice. We ordered two single cheeseburgers, one chicken sandwich dressed burger-style, and a side of spiced curly fries.

I’d rate the cheeseburgers an 8/10 — they weren’t the best I’ve ever had, but they were definitely very good and satisfying. The chicken burger was more of a 5/10: it was okay, but I would strongly recommend the beef burgers instead. The curly fries were tasty, and I really liked the dip that came with them.

They do offer milkshakes, but we chose Coca-Cola to go with our burgers. The atmosphere is fine, nothing particularly special, and the place was quite busy. The service was friendly, though the restroom could really use some improvement.

Parking was easy to find, but it’s worth mentioning that I went on a Sunday. I might come back, and overall, I do recommend this place 🍔⭐️
