The food is decent. Not cheap, but reasonably priced. But coffee is extra, cheese in the omelette is extra.
My main concern is the lack of customer service. They don't try to please anyone. No custom orders, no special demands. They do nothing to please a family with kids. Had this woman with a young kif. She wanted a sunny side egg and a scambled egg. She even told em she would do 2 orders and they refused. All eggs have to be the same was the response from management. As if they refused to cook one egg the lady was willing to pay for.

Nice location and nice place to eat. Our favourite time to eat here is in the fall, she changes the menu to the fall menu and you can order an apple chicken Sandwich (which I never thought I would try) and it is the most amazing burst of flavours and I will always go back for more. Bread is fresh made from Bob the Baker and everything is made there in the restuarant, soups and sandwiches and salads are terrific! The cook can cater to people with allergies or special needs no problems at all! And Free parking

Stopped there twice recently. Much to my wife's chagrin I had the liver and onions. Beautifully cooked with REAL mashed potatoes. Vegetables typical. My wife had a cheese and mushroom medium. Huge serving of cheese. Best pizza in years. On second stop we both had medium pizzas so we had left overs to take with us. Mine was well dressed, hers was a repeat. I concur with my wife, the best pizza I've had in years. This will now be a regular stop for us, even going out of our way to make it happen.

Visited here yesterday, to buy some local emu oil products, which I love. Then tasted the eggnog icecream: delicious! And bought 4 kinds of Ottawa valley fudge, some Balderson's Cheddar, and some British Stilton Blue cheese. Had to get the hockey puck cheese for our goalie son and a jar of marmalade for us. Found a brush for cleaning window screens, and had some good conversation with the friendly lady. Will be back when the Marks and Spencer's puddings and Christmas cakes come in!
The Cheddar stop is not a restaurant, but a delightful Aladdin's cave of gourmet treasures.

Friends took me out for my birthday. A great covered patio on the water. It was pub night. The bacon burger was good...a little salty for my taste but at least the bacon was crispy. Prompt service and reasonably priced. Will return again.
7. Law & Orders

After running a successful restaurant for over two years, Law & Orders was destroyed by a fire/explosion on February 2nd 2016. This was NOT the end of this popular local restaurant. With determination and an amazing community backing him, Jamie Law was able to place a food trailer on the original restaurant site while he waits for his new restaurant to be rebuilt (date to still be determined). This would not be made possible without the amazing support of family, friends, loyal customers and a supportive and loving community. The SBU (Special Burger Unit) opened its doors on Friday May 19th, 2016 and the community did not let Jamie down. It was a fantastic first weekend and wonderful to see so many familiar (and new) faces. While we wait for the new and improved Law & Orders' restaurant to be built, come and enjoy many of your favourite menu including the famous Rhippo Burger, Law Burger, What Came First, Super Chicken Burger and the Overkill. Don't forget about the fresh-cut fries and mouth-watering poutine! Stay tuned for updates on the rebuild! And for those who are not familiar with the story of Law & Orders, see below. ***** When Jamie Law opened his restaurant, Law & Orders, in February 2014, he set out a challenge that he knew would make his dad proud: it's the Rhippo Challenge and after 100 attempts, had only ONE successful challenger. The Rhippo Challenge includes two, one-pound Rhippo burgers and a full pound of poutine. The challenge? The challenge comes to those willing to test the depth of their hunger, who must consume all three items in 20 minutes or less. The successful few will earn bragging rights, get their meal for free, go home with a t-shirt and their photo will be hung on the Rhippo Challenge Wall of Fame. Bobby Roy was the first person to complete the Rhippo Challenge in an impressive 13 minutes! Chris Sipes was the next successful contestant, completing the Rhippo Challenge in just over 18 minutes. It wasn't long before Law & Orders attracted the attention of world class professional eater and body builder Randy Santel. While on his Eastern USA tour (that only included a few stops in Ontario), Randy stopped into Law & Orders and completed the Rhippo Challenge in an insane 7mins34secs. This was definitely a sight to see. His cameraman Magic Mitch decided to try, and also earned the rights to call himself a Rhippo Challenge Champion, completing the task in 15mins26secs. Currently there have been over 140 attempts at the Rhippo Challenge with 4 successful candidates... who's next? The Rhippo Burger - named after Jamie's late father's nickname - is just one of the amazing menu items on the Laws & Orders' menu, which is located on Hwy. 7 in Innisville across from the Ultramar gas station. Law & Orders Restaurant is popular for its delicious handmade burgers, fresh-cut fries, homemade pizzas and creative creations, including THE BARNYARD (chicken burger and 1/4 beef patty with bacon and cheese), the WCF -What Came First burger (chicken burger with a fried egg, bacon and cheese), THE OVERKILL BURGER (1/2LB beef patty with cheese, bacon, St. Albert cheese curds, fresh-cut fries, gravy and topped off with a deep fried pickle) and THE LAW BURGER (1/2 LB beef patty with cheese, bacon and a fried egg). Other notable menu items include deep-fried pickles, chicken wings, funnel fries, tater tot poutine and sausages. Don't forget about the delicious vegan burger which is already considered a favourite by many. Law & Orders has bar style Seating with room to seat 20. In the warmer weather, customers can enjoy additional outdoor Seating as there are a variety of picnic tables, bistro tables and benches where you can relax and enjoy your meal. Though Law & Orders does not deliver, you can always call in your order and pick it up when it is ready. During the winter months, Law & Orders' delivers to ice shacks on the Mississippi Lake surrounding Innisville, so keep an eye out for their snowmobile. Law & Orders is a family run business that works hard to ensure each customer has a great experience and enjoys their visit. The food is made fresh and has a wide variety of menu items that is sure to please all. "We want to welcome our neighbours, guests and travelers to our restaurant," says owner Jamie Law. "We've designed our menu and our restaurant to ensure we give our customers the best possible experience." From gourmet burgers made from scratch to mouth-watering pizza to its famous fries, Law & Orders has already established itself as a local must-have.

At Law and Orders, the burgers are righteous! At first, I couldn't get past the Lester's hot dogs with mustard and jalapenos, but finally I tried the quarter pound with the works, and jalapenos, with a tater tot poutine (with jalapenos). I haven't looked back. My husband swears by the onion rings (his fave), and our son (and me too) are loving the pizza. Its loaded and done just right.
Our friend from work took the Rhippo challenge at Law and Orders, and had the second fastest time to finish a pound of poutine and 2 one pound burgers, free, in under 20 minutes! #Nic Beauchamp.
Law and Orders has risen like a Phoenix from the dust, to put Innisville, Ontario. On the map!
Way to go, Jamie Law!

Vegetarian buffet, coffee & juice bar located in Carleton Place offering healthy, homemade food with lots of vegan and gluten free options.
Reviewed By Anne A - Ottawa, Canada
This is an interesting place, sometimes I just feel like that atmosphere. They have every type of cappuccino, latte, homemade desserts, the food though interesting ...it's very very expensive. I feel like I paid almost $20 just for two salad wraps and peanut sauce. The way the food, so just be prepared that you're going to pay about four times what you thought you're gonna pay. I don't think it should be that way I think there should be set amounts for a set price see you don't get this nasty surprise at the checkout . Certainly not for somebody on a budget !!!

I was brought to the Olde Town Bakery last summer by a friend who told me they had great soup and Sandwich combos. Needless to say, I was not disappointed!
You are able to choose from a variety of different homemade soups. I had the Italian Wedding. It came piping hot, but wasn't really my kind of soup. Although, my friend who loves Italian Wedding soup said he loved it, so maybe it's just not my thing!
The Sandwich was to die for. Fresh meats on home made bread with amazing veggies and topped with fresh ground pepper- much better than something mom would normally make (sorry mom).
All of this plus a drink came to a little over $10, which is less than you would pay for most Subway meals. It's definitely a bargain for the quality of food you get! I will be back!

This was my second time eating Chesswood. The service was great, the food was great!
My husband ordered the Chesswood Chicken each time, and that dish is now his favourite! Absolutely delicious!
The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant, suitable for a romantic dinner or casual meal.
We will definitely go back!
