I would concur with all the other reviews about how delicious (and cheap!) the breakfasts are at Fil's, and how excellent the service is.
My main addition, however: being attached to the pub next door, they are able to serve alcohol after 11am every day, making those weekend brunches that much tastier.
Hard to beat a tasty, filling breakfast with a Ceasar for less than $15 after tax! -

FIl's can be hard to miss; in the westend right next to a bowling alley, it's small but once you find it, you'll be thankful.
This is a 60's style diner, not the typical 50's, so the decor is a bit different. The food is good, affordable, and filling. Definitely check out their breakfast menu; thats the best time to go. Pancakes and waffles are really good; I don;'t eat bacon but their bacon and eggs are reputed to be excellent as well. -

As much as I tend to go to Fil's Diner, I can't rate it very high. I like that the breakfast is served until 3pm and that it's relatively cheap, but you do get what you pay for. The service can be unreliable when it gets busy, which is often at noon, the hashbrowns are often terrible. I'm not even sure how they manage to get the toast salty, but it definitely is.
That being said, it's super cheap and open for most of the day. I still go back there often, but I definitely don't rave about it. -

This place is pretty popular and always packed, so my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try for the first time. They serve breakfast until 3pm everyday, so we walked in on a rainy weekend. We were seated right away, but it took awhile for us to even get menus, much less order. Finally, we ordered Eggs Benedict and Famous Steak & Eggs. It was cheap and fast, and the quality matched. The homefries were extra greasy and frankly, we didn't feel to great afterward. Given, we did order a couple of heavy meals, but we didn't finish them and didn't even bother taking them home.
There was only one waitress working that we saw, and she had obviously been working there for awhile, as she seemed to know the menu inside out. A few guys walked in after us and joined a group seated across the room. They were loud and obnoxious, constantly swearing, even though a family with two young children were seated next to them. It seemed like the waitress knew them, as she would talk to them in between serving tables. She warned them numerous times that their behaviour was unacceptable, but it got to the point where the family had to ask them to stop, and even the waitress clearly got frustrated. These people were never asked to leave that I know of, and it really put a huge damper on our dining experience. Additionally, we thought the place could have been a bit cleaner, and my boyfriend had to ask for another fork, as the one he was given still had a piece of food stuck to it. This may have been a one time thing, but it made a terrible first impression and we're not too keen on going back. -

One day, my wife and I were shopping along this cool strip of Wellington and we found...a bowling alley. And next to this bowling alley was Fil's Diner. Now, my wife and I are always on the lookout for Ottawa's best breakfast, so we decided to give Fil's a try. The prices are pretty good, but the options are a little slim. Not that Fil's breakfast is problematic. I mean, I always order the same thing anyways - scrambled eggs, bacon, homefries, brown toast, jam, coffee and a juice. Pretty tasty, but hard to mess that meal up! Nonetheless, I have been to better-kept restaurants.

Fil's is a friendly, neighbourhood diner that is a great place to bring kids. Breakfast is served late, and the lunch/dinner menu is always tasty. Inexpensive, with friendly service. Added bonus - if you feel like bowling, the same menu is offered in the attached bowling alley.
