Jessica Cyr praised the mouthwatering, saucy double burger with bacon and extra pickles as a “perfect” meal, while Sophie Schneider highlighted the Beyond Burger’s succulent texture and rich flavor as among the best vegetarian options she’s had in a long time. Simon Kendiya's glowing endorsement of the entire Umbrella Burger experience — from the juicy beef to the addictive sauces and curly fries — sums it up vividly: “10/10 would cancel salad plans for this.”

    Ordered this via ubereats while at work - had several other coworkers "rave" about this place. It is AMAZING. The Mac and cheese is the best i have ever had - get ready to feel like you gained 5 lbs.. it's so rich and creamy and cheesy! And the burger, took the double, added bacon, added mayo and mustard, it was so saucy, asked for extra pickles; it was perfect highly recommend, and will definitely order again.

    I tried the chicken sandwich at Umbrella Burger and really enjoyed it. The chicken was crispy and well-seasoned, with fresh toppings and a nicely toasted bun. It was flavorful and satisfying without being too heavy. I also had the poutine, which was quite filling and definitely worth a try—great comfort food with plenty of cheese and gravy. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. The place has a casual, relaxed vibe, and the prices were fair for what you get. Overall, a solid spot for a good chicken sandwich and hearty sides. I’d go back to try more from the menu.

    I recently visited Umbrella and was absolutely impressed! I had the vegetarian Beyond Burger Single, while my partner went for the Double, and both were fantastic. The flavors were rich and satisfying, and the texture was spot on – honestly one of the best vegetarian burgers we’ve had in a long time. We also shared some curly fries with dip, which were the perfect crispy, tasty side. On top of the food being amazing, the staff here are genuinely kind and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, a 10/10 recommendation – I’ll definitely be coming back!

    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 ⭐

    These guys are out here smashing burgers like it’s their life mission—and honestly, mission accomplished. The beef? Juicy. The chicken? Crispy perfection. The fries? Curly, spicy, and dangerously addictive. I came for a snack and left in a food coma (no regrets). The vibe is chill, the staff are cool, and the burger sauce deserves its own fan club. 10/10 would cancel salad plans for this.

    Best chicken sandwich place in Ottawa! Chicken sandwich and burger style chicken were amazing. The right amount of topping without being sloppy. We also had the curly fries with sauce which were perfectly crispy and tasty. The peanut butter banana milkshake was perfectly thick and had wide straws. Amazing place.
