Restaurants in Dartmouth

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The food!!!! We had the Let the chef cook for you! Best value and most delicious meal you will ever have!

And of course get a fancy cocktail, you won’t regret it 😉”

Then I had the chicken fajitas which were huge and very fresh tasting. Emily talked me into trying the Churro bites for dessert. They are stellar all around pleased with my experience. Would recommend”

“Their seafood is best, bar none!”

“I don’t do reviews much but Sushi101 was incredibly delicious with an artistic flair that just added to the experience! We actually had to admire the artistry before diving into the various sushi roll plates. I am not one to take pictures of my food but the presentation of the various plates made me give-in and I did take my phone out for a few candid shots. I know it’s rude on date night to have a phone out but it really was that incredible!! Service was wonderful and a little wait is necessary when the food is coming out that fresh and beautiful. They were busy with eat in and take out; word must be getting out!! Well done chef and team at Sushi101!!”

The food was incredible, the service is top notch and the soothing atmosphere held even when the dinner rush began to come in. I wish I’d eaten there sooner and will definitely be back”

And to Anton ( hope I spelt his name correctly as well) for coming over to say hello and remember us from our last visit. To say that we are beyond happy would be an understatement. The service, the food and the welcoming staff truly separates this restaurant from all the others. Thanks again for making my husbands day, you really made him feel special and loved. We will be telling all our friends of the truly 5star service we received tonight. Thanks again, We will be back soon! Carrie & Ron”

“I just had to best experience with Evan’s and more specifically Manish. I ordered a large amount of take out chowder that was being transported quite a distance away. Manish was amazing. He had everything packed so well for us. He took time to write down instructions for me and explain them for me. I was blown away at how great the customer service was. The chowder was also delicious and everyone loved it. It was a very positive experience. I appreciate Manish so much for going the extra mile for us so it worked out wonderfully. Thank you so much!”

“Sushi is cheaper here. My favourite is dynamite rolls. Sobeys sushi is literally the only place to get sushi within 10 min of my house. Don’t expect lots of options. They have California rolls and if that’s the only thing you like this place is perfect for you.”

Everything is delicious, and you can really enjoy the quality and freshness in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, tasty donuts! 🍩”

“I’ve visited this location many times and have always had great customer service when going through the drive thru. I will note that the drive thru has a tight turn, so just be mindful if you have a larger vehicle.

My recent visit I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was made very well and tasted great.

Will continue coming to this location.”

“I had a truly satisfying visit to McDonald's! 🍔 The food was great, hitting all the right notes for a quick and tasty meal. The service was efficient and friendly, making the experience even better. ✨ The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. I appreciate the consistent quality here! 😊🍟”

“Went in today to this location and had a good experience. The screens were a bit grimy (as they are at all McDonald’s), but nothing crazy. The wait was only a few minutes long for a full meal and iced coffee. The breakfast wrap I got was wrapped tightly and packaged well, not loose and floppy like some other locations I’ve been to.

The staff were very friendly, the manager was having nice chats with his workers and there was even some singing happening. Very good vibes!”

“We wanna give a shoutout to the window server at Nantucket Dartmouth June 5 2026 at 10:31pm he was so god damn friendly and gave the best customer service. Thanks buddy! Don’t ever change.”

“Tacoma location around 9:30pm Sunday sept 13th.

She can show the other ones a lot actually pretty sure I seen the manager standing around before doing a poor job we need more people like her that care about there jobs”

“I usually can’t handle gluten and dairy because my tum tum doesn’t like it… but somehow this pizza doesn’t give me diarrhea and make me look 6 months pregnant, I swear it’s made out of pure magic”

“Really recommend the black sesame cream puff and the matcha cream puff. But really you can’t go wrong, every one I have tried is flavourful.”

“Finally had the chance to try Maria’s. Fresh pasta (Mafaldini) had never seen this shape before, 1/4”wide or so, looked like a lasagna noodle),Rosa Sauce and the best Lemoncello cake ever! Made chicken parm with the sauce and noodles and it was excellent. I can see this being a regular stop for take home ingredients. Also want to try the Porchetta sandwich so next Friday it’s marked on the calendar!”

“We had dinner last night. Everything was PERFECT. The flavours, the wine, the food was hot, service was quick. Our server Anastasiia was so sweet and provided fantastic service. There was not one negative thing I could say or anything I would change. Very likely the best service and best food I have EVER had.”

“Absolutely amazing donair and wonderful hospitality! You can tell they put their heart and soul into their food, and I hope this place can stay open for many years to come, for visitors all over and the locals to both enjoy. Lots of love”

“North is one of our favorite local spots. They host fun events (the drag shows are wild and I love to see that type of support in our community). We love the atmosphere, food is great, staff is always lovely and the beer is always good - in fact, their sours are beyond the best around and I really hope they start brewing them again. I was definitely a bit disappointed that they haven't offered one recently so.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back your sours! I also think their merchandise offered is more stylish then a lot of other similar places. It has a unique surf/beachy vibe that I hope they continue. What's even better is that they offer a 15% discount you can use on merch, if you show your receipt after dining in their taproom! Keep up the great work!”

“Their Veggie pizza with hot honey baked into it is the best pizza in HRM”

“Selby’s bunker was amazing to deal with and came to my rescue with helping me get a gift to a friend despite me being across the country ! 100% recommend this local spot , and can’t wait to be back there for a coffee next time I’m in Nova Scotia ! The selection is amazing , and they went above and beyond my filling out my card and delivering the gift to mu friend !!”

“I've eaten here many times and I'm never disappointed. The staff are always warm and friendly and the food is exactly what I expect - good! Their spanikopita topped with the feta sauce is the best I've had anywhere. All this for a very reasonable price. Opa!!”

“I had a great experience at wok box. The food is always very delicious and the service is wonderful! Would recommend going to visit this location if you get a chance”

“Stopped in for supper last night and we were very happy with our meals and the service! Great portion sizes, and the food was delicious. We thought it was a little strange that the shrimp dip had full-size shrimp, and only three of them in it, would probably be better if they chopped up the shrimp throughout the dip, but otherwise everything was great!”

“Who doesn’t like bagels ! Very good selection of both sweet and savoury flavours along with some specialty bagels and other goodie’s. Really tasty !! I know this will be my go to place for my bagel fix ! Thanks Bagel Montreal Style !”

“wow, raisin bread and everything else is awesome too. so helpful and kind”

“we arrived at 8:50 they closed at 9 the guy worked hard to get the order out the door and the taste was amazing great quality pizza.”

“Decided to go here on a whim with a friend, hands down one of my best choices ever. The family that runs this place must be actual angels. The experience of talking while our food was made was genuinely heart-warming, the woman who took our order was so friendly. We got some of the BEST onion rings and poutine I've EVER had. Will absolutely be returning. If you want a restaurant to fill your belly and your heart absolutely go to the hungry hut.”

“5 big stars for the Dill Pickle ??”

“The only place we go for breakfast”

“Stopped by for a coffee last Friday evening and the place was as good as ever, honestly one of the few spots in Dartmouth where I don't mind waiting a few extra minutes for my order. Got the mocha and a slice of their carrot cake, and the cake was so fresh it tasted like it came out of the oven an hour before. The staff behind the counter recognized me from previous visits and even remembered my usual order, which is a nice touch after all these years. It gets a bit busy around six but there's a small patio out back that's perfect for unwinding after work.”

“Lunchtime $5 slice is decent. If you call in be prepared to scream into your phone or they will hang up on you.. Clubhouse and fries is poet good if you eat there. Leaving the takeout container closed will result in a soggy terrible meal.”
