We were heading back to the city from Starved Rock and decided to take the scenic route and grab a bite and a drink. We happened to stumble upon Berta's mostly because it appeared to be the only place in Ottawa that was actually OPEN on a Sunday. It looks like your typical dive in and outside but it's anything but. Ordered an appetizer platter of cheese sticks, mini tacos and fried cauliflower, ALL amazing. We shared the chicken, bacon and ranch wrap and it was great! All fresh ingredients and fresh off of the grill. To top it off, the staff was all super nice, the bar was full of regulars and everything was fantastic. If you're ever looking for a bite to eat after trekking 5 miles at one of the local state parks or just happen to find yourself in Ottawa, mosey on over to Berta's, it's worth it.

I got a pretty simple BLT sandwich for lunch & a cup of ice water on a weekday. It all cost about $6 when tip & tax were included. Good, friendly service, and I could see the bartender actually fry up the bacon & make the sandwich on the nearby grill. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a nice, hefty amount of lettuce, bacon & tomato on the sandwich -- certainly satisfying. It comes with additional crinkle-cut fries. I'd have ordered a beer, but I stopped here during a long trip in which I was the driver. Ideally, I'd have gotten an Italian beef sandwich, but I'm watching my weight. Also appreciated that I could choose from among 3-4 different types of bread.
Berta's is about a 5-10 minute drive off of I-80, but if you've got the time it's a nice, homey, family run place that's a welcome alternative to fast food. -

It's been two months since I dropped in at Berta's, after hitting a gun range nearby for a day of shooting. Let's just keep it simple: great, fast, friendly service...five-bottle domestic buckets for $10 on Sundays...the patty melt was perfect...football was on every TV. If this was my neighborhood bar in Chicago, I'd be here every week!!

The bathroom is disgusting. It was the middle of the day and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. Definitely wouldn't eat here.

This place makes you feel like family! Come in they know what all 3 of us want for lunch and what soda goes to whom. The bartender/ cook is great and even if she is swamped does a marvelous job!
