“I absolutely love the oxtail here and will be trying the jerk chicken very soon. I am so happy to have found a place for my favorite comfort food! Thank you so much! This is the go to place for sure!”
“Every time I go, I never leave disappointed. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, the food is amazing & the venue is always beautiful this time of year! Definitely recommend making a reservation in advance to shorten your wait time as it's a very popular place especially on Friday & Saturday nights although if you don't, trust me, it's worth the wait Every.Single.Time!!!”
“Have dined here at least six times over the last two years. After being given a gift certificate from a colleague for a Christmas I enjoyed it so much that I asked my family to have my next birthday supper there and have been a few times since (with others even requesting we go their now for their celebrations which speaks volumes about how good the place is overall).It is a cozy restaurant (be sure to make reservations if going at peak times as I'm sure they fill up quickly) but there is enough space between tables and booths that it does not feel crowded. They set the atmosphere very well with dim lighting, candles and music played at a volume that is nice but not so loud that it is distracting or hinders conversation. The whole decor seems to match with a theme that comes office classy/intimate but still accessible (would be a good place to go on a date I imagine).The staff are always appropriately pleasant, attentive and accommodating (my family are the kind that always as for things like extra napkins, condiments and other small but multiple requests that I am sure staff eventually find insufferable but never let it show). The time between being seated, ordering and receiving ones meal has been very reasonable everytime. Same sentiment when it come ordering take out as well.The food presents at appropriate temperatures, seems to be made with fresh ingredients and is Always delicious. Portion sizes are pretty average (usually can't eat it all so do take away some leftovers). My family has never sent anything back while coming there and that is a rarity. Also have been told their gluten free options are quite good.Have usually started of with either calamari or wonton soup which have always been nice. The ginger beef is so good that I have had it a couple of times now. The prices are reasonable and you are getting quality for what you pay.Will continue to keep it in mind whenever a suggestion for a place to dine is brought up.”
“Really lovely food and service, at very good prices. The dining area was a little cold but it was snowing outside so that probably explains it. Very much recommended.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Best spot to grab a quality craft beer in Dartmouth hands down! Lots of beers on tap to choose from. Worth the trip over from Halifax without a doubt as well. The Jughead burger is a classic and you can’t go wrong with it.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What a fantastic spot! This brewery has truly exceeded all expectations. Not only is their beer selection impressive, with a wide variety of craft brews that cater to all tastes, but their family-friendly atmosphere sets them apart from the rest. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with smiles and a warm welcome, making you feel right at home. The best part? They've combined great beer with delicious food that's sure to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. With all the classics and a range of unique options, their menu has something for everyone. Even vegetarian and vegan eats to sooth the soul. The fact that it's family-friendly is just the cherry on top! The kids have a blast with the table top games while the adults can relax and enjoy their brews. If you're looking for a brewery that's not only about great beer but also about creating a welcoming environment for the whole family, look no further. This place is a winner in every aspect!”
“Being from Montréal, I love a good poutine. You won't be disappointed here! Real cheese curds (grated cheese is NOT poutine), they don't skimp on the sauce, the fries are like Restaurant Lafleur and the best part is they put it in a metal bowl. Stays HOT. Great service, too.”

“The Canteen had a cozy atmosphere. The menu had lots of delicious options. I was hoping to try their lobster roll but it was a seasonal dish. I had the haddock sandwich and soup. The sandwich was good but the soup was delicious. Service was great.”
“Excellent menu, I just Love their Clams! My trip to my home town is never complete until I get my fill of Clams and Chips here! I highly recommend to stop here for a bite, you will defintley be back for more! Most of all, I love the family atmosphere and the owners and staff. They make you feel right at home!”
“Wanted to write an update as we have been coming here consistently for a few months now. It's still exceptional!! The tempura is hot and tasty, servings are large, fish is fresh and the prices are reasonable. The owner and his staff are so friendly and really put in an effort to take care of their customers. This has quickly become our favorite sushi and ramen restaurant in HRM! If you haven't tried it yet, you should!”
“We visited for the first time this evening. The owner was so helpful and friendly. Great prices and amazing food. I’m gluten sensitive and appreciated the selection. So happy we found this place. We will be back soon.”

“We absolutely adore this spot! The burritos and quesadillas are phenomenal- all fresh and delicious ingredients. I keep wanting to try other things too but it’s so hard to move away from that beef burrito! Homemade chips on the side are also to die for. Highly recommend!”

“Ate here for the first, i had the fish&chips....they were delicious...i will be back to try other food....our server Audrey was very friendly. This place is very very clean.....5 stars rate from me.....Thank you”
“Dear Friend, your service was excellent despite being packed, your small booth in the corner was cozy, your small plates made us say "mmmm!" with every bite. Your boozy cocktails were delicious and inexpensive.Best tartare we've had anywhere, the carrots were amazing (yes, order the carrots with your raw beef), oysters were so fresh with a fantastic house made hot sauce.1st time there, 1st class place. Book a res if you want a seat”
“It was my first visit to Mozzarrito, I was greeted by a friendly young lady, Bhakti was her name. She made me a Tandoori Paneer Burrito, delicious! I will be back for sure. Thanks for the great service and yummy recommendation :)”
“I was in Nova Scotia on vacation, and this was on my short list of places to visit. When we came in, we got a flight of ciders, and when we couldn't decide on the final Cider for the flight, we were recommended one that turned out to be our favourite that night (raspberry)! Now I'm back home and taking full advantage of the free Canada-wide shipping for orders over $80. This is pretty much the only Cider I drink now, my other favourites are vanilla, snakebite, and gingerbread. Crisp apple is also a good basic Cider as well! I give these to friends for birthdays, weddings, and Christmas gifts. I can't get enough of it and I would love to have it on tap again because that was the best!”
“Finally got to check out this gem! Amazing selection of gifts, stationary, housewares, and so much more. Although we got our drinks to go, the cafe was very cosy and inviting.”
“Sino pastry shop cole harbor road. The best French pasty strawberry cream puff ever!!! The pastel de nata was awesome as well. My first time there but will definitely go back!”

“Ordered food for my entire team… it was a huge order. They managed to have everything ready in 30 minutes. The food was hot, and soooo incredibly good. The guys couldn’t stop talking about the burger week burger, and how amazing it tasted. We all loved the French fries, and everything else we ate! The service was amazing both on the phone during the order process, and when I went to pick it up. We can’t wait to order from here again, and visit with our families! Thank you so much.”

Jenn was the best server I have ever met, she always brought me more lemonade when she knew I was getting low. So thoughtful, will be here again.”

“Today I stopped at this new restaurant as I was looking forward to hopefully enjoy something different for lunch. They truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is quaint, the people are so friendly (even met Mom), the price point very reasonable, the menu although small (which is very smart since they are brand new) had options that I cannot get anywhere else and it tasted absolutely amazing. I definitely will be returning regularly. Ohhh and all I could do was talk about my lunch all afternoon. This place will no doubt be a success.”
“Thank-you so much to the staff, and to whom I believe was the owner, for being accommodating, for great service, for delicious food ( great quality and quantity) which all made my birthday celebration enjoyable and memorable. All 10 of us really enjoyed our meal and we all said we would definitely return! A real gem! Highly recommended!”
“Great place. it was our anniversary and we both love Mexican food. food is great, drinks was flowing. staff is just as wonderful. definitely returning. thanks Sabrosa.”
“Fantastic place to grab lunch and watch the world go by. Right on the waterfront with huge windows. Also 10/10 for anyone with celiac concerns as Evans tailor their menu towards GF options and the staff knowledge of GF is amazing!”
“We ate there last week and it was such a great meal. The steaks were done just right and the flavour was fantastic. The staff are always friendly and professional. A little expensive but the food is above other places as ”

“I've been going every week with friends for early bird as seniors who that's mostly who is there before 830 am it was affordable now the prices went up 3.00 for early bird and less hashbrowns and no fruit regular breakfast after early bird went up 70 cents so only hurting seniors who can't afford to eat there otherwise my family bought me 200 dollars in gift cards as that what I asked for christmas when that gone sadly we won't be back as can't afford shame on you pur and simpleKid-friendliness: Very goodWheelchair accessibility: Good”
“I’m obsessed with this pizza! All the ingredients are always fresh and I love all the variety of pizzas they have! Really good quality pizza and very affordable for how much you get. It a definite winner 10/10”
“The food was good, but the flavours were pretty basic. The fish cakes, while tasty, didn't have a lot of flavour to them and weren't worth $22. The smash burger and fries were also pretty typical and basic,and not really worth the money”
“We came by for supper on a Monday night. Fabulous food, service (great job Adam). We had a variety of food and drinks from the menu. I ordered the lobster pasta special. Very good! We will definitely stop by again when we visit from Alberta.”
“We had a wonderful time at the lounge as a staff party! Great service and drink options. Love that we had an instructor for the duration that gave us tips and practice throws. They then organized the tournament for us and did the scoring. I liked this vs trying to figure it out mainly on your own. Would return for sure.”
“Minor point, if you saying you are at least A 4 star restaurant, with pricing to reflect that rating. Need to upscale you napkins, brown light weight paper napkins don't cut it! Also, your hostesses need to be aware, letting people cut in , how don't have a reservation, in front of those that where there before them, who had reservations, isn't appropriate.”
“my wife and I are here the other night for my birthday and was it ever good. great service, excellent food for a great price. we recommend and will be back soon.”
“For the most part we enjoyed our breakfast. For me I was disappointed in the amount of hash browns that were on the plate relative to the size of the plate. With the cost of the meal the value just didn't seem to be there. I'm all for recommending others try the place for themselves but I won't be rushing back myself.”

“Been going there for years, best pepperoni in town, the beef jerky is just as good, love all their subs (you gotta get the turkey with pickles on cheese bread). Recently got to try their chorizo sausages aswell which were also killer. I got no pictures to post because it’s in my belly.”
“Love this restaurant our first time going here the food is amazing , so much flavor.a great choice on the menu and a wonderful atmosphere, we will definitely be going back a lot as I’d have to say the best Indian food I’ve ever had.”

“Favorite Tim's location. The staff is so friendly and personable. Always greeted with a smile. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. My order is spot on and delicious. Great place sit and chat with family and friends.”
“This particular Tim's is amazing! I will hold off on buying a coffee until I can get to this location. The team here is friendly, no matter what I order it is delicious. They seem to work well as a team. I can't praise this location enough.”
“I often go to the Tim Hortons on Main St in Dartmouth for lunch because I typically ask to have several things left off my sandwich, and unlike most of the other Timmy's I've been to, the drive through team always makes my sandwich perfectly and quickly. It's excellent service.”
“My wife and I ate in, it was somewhat clean but never bothered us. Food was good ?. They don't have any trays anymore so whether you eat in or take out everything is in a bag. I would go again. TACOMA DR.”
“The food was good, but the flavours were pretty basic. The fish cakes, while tasty, didn't have a lot of flavour to them and weren't worth $22. The smash burger and fries were also pretty typical and basic,and not really worth the money”

“If you’re looking for incredible tasting food this is it. Probably one of my favourite places to eat in Halifax based on food alone. The staff and owners are so friendly and I couldn’t recommend this place more!”
“I booked a cake and the party bundle that included cupcakes and treats for my sister's birthday. The ease of booking and payment was much appreciated for how simple it was as I booked it from Alberta. The quality of the baking had rave reviews and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. Thanks so much!”
“Really lovely food and service, at very good prices. The dining area was a little cold but it was snowing outside so that probably explains it. Very much recommended.”
“Some of the freshest, most delicious bread I’ve had yet. You can tell each loaf is a labour of love and it shows. If you’re looking for delicious, locally made bread- this is your spot!”
“Small café, but wonderful staff and a good handful of tasty crêpes. They get extra points for having more than 1 vegetarian option! Definitely recommend.Vegetarian options: Meat is an extra add-on for savoury crêpes.”
“First order from here was take out, picked up salmon, tuna, and California rolls; they were all well made and tasted great. The location was convenient, inside atmosphere was very nice. The host was very kind and quick with getting my order to me. I will be going back for sure.”

“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!”
“I tried this for the first time this week visiting from Ontario. Id like to make a point about the owner and staff who were very friendly and welcoming and excited for me to try their product. My honest review of this pizza, the sauce has an excellent taste, crust is nice and thin and crunchy where it counts, not overdone and baked in an old school oven which I love. One thing I will make note on is the cheese, I think it's just the brand that's being used is on the cheaper side and makes it a little rubber-like. Though I understand in these tough times for businesses and just about everyone that you have to save where you can. Does it ruin the pizza? no. Would it make it that much better with something more quality absolutely. I will definitely be going back for more in the future. Great spot, and great prices, you can't go wrong.”

“These guys. Been going here off and on for years. I live in hali but well worth the drive for the comfort and friendliness of the owners. No matter how busy they are, they still have time for a good talk. The pizza and donair are top notch. Hard to find a place like this.”
“best pizza around so good amazing flavour and texture and the atmosphere is amazing it's so cool in there i love yeah yeahs everyone needs to try it, service 4 stars only because it's good but not absolutely stand out amazing, never had a bad experience, best pizza, highly ”
“Best pizza place in Dartmouth. Best customer service in Dartmouth. All these bad reviews saying the hours of operation are wrong is because they had a death in the family and were closed for over 3 months. Please don't judge this gem of a pizza place based off those reviews! They have updated their hours and you can find that on their website. I've been going to Hungry Hut for over 15 years and you wont find many places as passionate as them! I've tried nearly every item on their menu and they do everything good. But I highly recommend their Donairs!”
“One of the best family restaurants you can ever eat at. Family owned and operated with quality and pride. Every meal prepaired with the highest standards of tasty delicious food.”
“I always saw this place anytime I went to Sobeys or access NS but never thought to try it because we don’t like pickles. I was thinking it might be pickle oriented. We gave it a try today and had an amazing brunch, Saiid went above and beyond for us. Being a single mom going out to eat with two small kids isn’t an easy task but Saiid made sure we felt welcome and comfortable moving an extra round table closer to us so my kids could continue to Color while they ate. Thank you for the wonderful brunch, it was delish, we’ll be back ! :)”
“We had a wonderful time at the lounge as a staff party! Great service and drink options. Love that we had an instructor for the duration that gave us tips and practice throws. They then organized the tournament for us and did the scoring. I liked this vs trying to figure it out mainly on your own. Would return for sure.”
“I have to first comment on the bathrooms. absolutely beautiful!! cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen in a restaurant, well done!! your food is delicious and your staff is the best!! we were treated with such kindness today, you made my boy feel so special on his 6th birthday. we will definitely be back again soon.”
“I have been a regular here for several years and am always so happy to be here! What's the best thing? The servers always seem to be enjoying themselves! The food is always amazing, and the place is very cool, especially the beautiful bar itself - 2 slabs of live-edge Douglas Fir! But the service tops it off... no less than outstanding!If you live in the HRM or are visiting the area, I highly recommend the Millstone Public House in Dartmouth! Family friendly, always excellent food, and Wicked Awesome service!BTW... I have no idea who owns this local chain nor do I know any of the staff. I legit give this place 5+ ⭐️”

“Absolutely hands down one of the best, if not the best Starbucks I have ever been to from all over the world. The staff are kind and conscientious and funny. They truly love their jobs and it shows through the little jokes and cute little offerings that they're constantly making efforts with one of the baristas. Kevin is absolutely the best in the business, kind and sweet and always good at what he's doing. The drinks are always made better than anywhere else perfect on the orders, no matter how complicated, always able to take detailed instructions very well with a giant smile. My mornings are always made better by them. There's another female employee who works there who has the biggest smile and the kindest heart and I will remember her name. If ever you need a quick pick me up, don't go to the Tim Hortons across the street. Take the time to go to this Starbucks”
“Went mid afternoon for a late lunch. I asked for a fresh burger on the grill and fries. I received terrific service from Navneet and Prabm. My food was hot and fresh!. Thank you for a positive experience.”
“For an inexpensive chicken meal it doesn't get any better. Beer, appetizer, quarter-chicken dinner all for less than !$25. Can't beat it AND everything (except the beer - which was good) was fresh and hot. Definately would recommend.”
“The place was renovated. It looks pretty good now.The food is always fresh and good.Very humble experience from the employees.Parking: wheelchair accessible parking available”
“As a delivery driver in the area, I can say the location is generally very clean and friendly. I use their washroom a LOT.Parking: I have never seen the parking lot full.”
“Best JBC I've ever had. Fresh, hot, juicy patty. Crisp lettuce and slice of tomato. Hot crispy bacon. Warm bun. Not only that but it was ready before I got to the second window. And service with a smile. ”
“after living in halifax for over 4 years i must say the most disappointing customer service and most hurtful incident of RACIAL profiling I ever had to deal with has been at the Burnside freshii..... after walking in between meetings while talking to my business partner on the phone, I was refused service by the MANAGER . who told me he will not serve me.... when asked why he refused to serve me he told me I was disrespecting him by coming to his cashier register on my phone...... of course this manager them walked around from his counter walked right into my face to intimidate me..... when i proceeded to try to make my order after been hungry running back and forth to meetings all day he proceeded to call the police... thanks to freshii Burnside I am once again reminded that my appearance is either threatening or offensive.... either way it was made clear that my kind is not welcome.....!!!”
“This Wendy's on Forrest Hills has been our go-to for years! The drive thru is the fastest I've ever seen, and they rarely mess up my order (once they gave me the wrong pop, but I was able to swap with someone else in my family). The food is always hot and delicious. We never go to McDonald's anymore because this Wendy's is close to our house and never disappoints.Vegetarian options: They have great salads and baked potatoesDietary restrictions: The Chilli, baked potato and their taco salad is GF (I know these for sure because my wife orders them).Parking: Always close parking aroundKid-friendliness: My kid loves their chicken nugget mealsWheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance and big 2 wheel chair accessible doors.”
“This Tim's was clean and in good condition. Food was as you expect from this chain. Service was fast. One of the nicer Tim's we have visited in quite a ”
“Upgrade looks great. But. Only 1 cash which will be an issue. Order ahead was disabled and when I asked about it I was told it's because how busy they are. Looking around I'm thinking, not busy like it used to be. So my Americano which normally takes me 2 minutes took 15. And when I asked about the delay was told that one of the espresso machines were down which leads me to think if they weren't ready to open they should have waited.PS..also did not see any of the amazing people who worked here before the renovation.All in all coffee tasted great so the other stuff can be chalked up to growing pains.”
“Food was great- server were kind. We really enjoyed ourselves the only suggestion is that there was a delay between appetizers and main however the server were frequently checking in us and gave us updates. Would def. Come again.”
“Asked for x3 veg and X2 cheese, I got exactly that - the flys on the wall buzzing around my face and up my nose were a little gross, but other than that, the utensils and condiment section was reasonably clean and stocked full. pretty good temperature. Solid choice for the area ?”
“If Valerie is working, then your drink will be made perfectly. Food is always top notch. They are really nice minus the window people sometimes, but overall, great Tim's.”
“Whoever is doing the hiring at this location is doing a GREAT job!all the girls that work here are so accommodating,they happily respect non meat eaters and change gloves and knives and they even remember us and that we don't eat meat and go above and beyond to not cross contaminate.the store is absolutely spotless as well.me and ALL my friends go to this one exclusively and call it OUR subway because the staff at every other subway in the city are dirty as heck, rude and the stores are all filthy now too.we all stopped eating subway and lots of other fast food because of this reason till we came across this location.it's almost unheard of to see fast food chains hiring nice local young people these days but this store seems to do just that and its great for business! they are welcoming and polite and I honestly cant say enough nice things about this location.thank you ladies for the fantastic service every time!to the owner of this restaurant ,i promise you, there are TONS of people coming to your location because of your nice clean polite staff.thanks!”
“Shout out to Main Street Dairy Queen for this amazing cake !! We picked it up today for my daughters 10th birthday Luau party and we were blown away with how beautiful the cake was !! Best ice cream cake we’ve ever seen!! Thanks so much for helping make her day so special!”
“The food and staff are amazing. I'm not a fan of pub food but Jamiesons food tastes like a 5 star restaurant. Their Chef is amazing and their staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Ordered the Barbecue chicken pizza. I get pizza there all the time and it is always very good but tonight my pizza was soggy and extremely salty!! I could not eat it!! Randy’s is my go to pizza place. I don’t know what happened tonight but I won’t be ordering this pizza again!!! So disappointed!!!!! Edit: After posting this review I received a call from the owner who was very concerned about the pizza we received as we are regular customers and has offered us another pizza on the house which we appreciated! This was the one and only time we were not pleased with a pizza from Randys! Edit: just finished enjoying our complementary pizza and it was absolutely delicious! After one unsatisfactory pizza, we were given an extra large complementary pizza and a large pop. It was very much enjoyed, in fact, one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had! Thank you, Randys!!!”
“When we first moved into the neighbourhood, I admit I wasn’t super excited by what seemed to be a sports bar. But it was open when we were hungry, so off we went. And we were pleasantly surprised!The decor inside does lean a little sporty and I’ve never been there in the middle of a popular sportsball game, but it’s otherwise just a normal restaurant.The food is really good and consistent, the prices are reasonable (especially during happy hour and Wednesday wings night) and the service is always spot on. They do a great burger, Caesar salad, wings, pan fried haddock, etc. It’s now one of our regular spots in the neighbourhood and the usual answer to, “Ugh I don’t feel like cooking tonight. Where should we go to eat?””

“Stopped into this Cafe for the first time when i discovered my other favourite local cafe closed down :(I went with a bacon breakfast sandwich and let me tell you.. i am usually a pick eater and it comes with things i would usually leave aside. however i decided to try it as it was intended and i do NOT regret it. One of the best I’ve had here in dartmouth.I also got an iced latte, again, not my usual but it was delicious and creamy.The atmosphere is super welcoming and pleasant all the staff were smiling and it seemed they had a good flow going for how busy they were while I was there ! However, a bit small, it would be awesome if they had the space to expand !I also noticed they had a “Put it on a tab” for those who may not be able to afford a meal. A+ to you guys ! will definitely be back in the future !”
“Great place to shop record which is what I did. I scored a few awesome LPs to add to my collection and I couldn't find these at home so I'm very happy.”
“One of the best local meals I’ve had in awhile. Put into a much needed food coma. Definitely will be going back. Atmosphere was a small town mom and pop shop, which felt great over all the big chains we have an abundance of.”
“very cute little bubble tea place! The tea is very good, lots of dairy replacement options, they have a lot of fun Japanese snacks, the staff is very friendly. My only gripe is with their bathroom. it contains not only a toilet and a sink but also all the cleaning supplies for the restaurant just out in the open. other than that, very lovely place and will definitely be returning!Vegetarian options: dairy replacements are available!”
“Today my husband got our car stuck coming onto Prince Albert Road when he was on his way home from Physio. Many people drove by him not stopping. Suddenly a man with a truck stopped and helped him get our car out. All the man asked is that he leave a nice comment to his pizza shop, Leo’s Pizza. My husband and I never heard of Leo’s and had to google it to see where it was and luckily it was close by. We both agreed that we definitely wanted to give Leo’s our business so we went right over there to order some pizzas for lunch. He was at the shop when we arrived and got to thank him again. We didn’t get his name but if you’re out there; thank you again for stopping to help my husband. As for the pizza; it was absolutely delicious and we can’t wait to have our 9 year old Autistic son try it when he gets home as pizza is his most favourite thing. We’ll definitely be repeat customers! Proud to support local. Give Leo’s a try. Great pizza and great caring staff ❤️”
“I can’t believe this place has been here six years and I just found it! Excellent customer service, and the treats were fantastic! I love the selection of Nova Scotia made products as well!”
“Fish and chips are good. The donairs arent that great and the pizza is pretty mid. Overall it's an ok place to eat. I still miss Jake and Dino's nothing will ever substitute.”
“Beat grilled cheese with bacon , bread perfectly crispy delicious ! Hot chocolate was not too sweet and the date square was fresh and wonderful !! Good selection , nice atmosphere and you feel very welcome here !”
“Friendly, courteous staff and the rolls and bread were still warm! The mini cinnamon buns were tasty but I was disappointed with the various sizes of buns in the box…. Consistency in size is important… see photo!”
“I have been here twice once in bedford which was the best experience. lovely service. went to sackville location and it was aweful. we ate in and it was given to us in a box with two plastic forks. the lady also said we close in 20min. she then walked away. we ate our cheesecake the lady was out back the whole time. we got up and she still did not come out. the cheesecake also still had the pieces of paper on either side of it. she just flopped into a box. I can't imagine the owner would be impressed as she served myself and my friend in bedford with class and professionalism. hopefully she sees how her staff are here in sackville.”
“I don't order from Chanoey's as much as I should! Food Quality is amazing, the service in-house is bar-none! And when I do have it delivered, it's still hot and well presented. Their Spaghetti is amazing!!”
“A warm ambiance, favored by local residents, London Fog and House Vegan stand out as personal favorites of mine, whether for business meetings or casual gatherings with friends.”
“Amazing food. Although the Dartmouth location has horrible ambience for dine in. So take your meal/s home. The only real complaint I have for this location is their hours of business. It opens too late in the day and closes far too early :(Please talay thai - think of trying to make your open hours longer.”
“Great place to meet up with friends over a few drinks! It'll be so nice when the temperature warms up to sit outside in the picnic area, especially when the new permanent food truck arrives! (Believe May/2024)”
“I really appreciate the vibes of this place. The decor and atmosphere sticks to its theme well, seemingly without overdoing it. Wings were the largest, tastiest and cheapest I've had since pre-pandemic. Will be returning when back in town. :)”
“Three Bears Deli staff went above and beyond to cater to our special dietary needs. They made me feel confident that they could help us provide a meal for our function that had some severe life threatening allergy modification request. Not only did they do this, they delivered the most delicious sandwiches and soup. They were so scrumptious! Thank you Three Bears Deli, I would highly recommend you a 100 times over!”
“The service was great, the server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the chicken finger appetizer. It was huge, this needs to be shared. The fingers had a crispy homemade batter and the chicken was moist. I had the fish and chips. Light batter over a very nice piece of fish. Their tartar sauce has a fresh herby flavor. We finished with the sticky pudding that was the star of the dinner. Rich, dark cake with a creamy, sweet sauce. We shared this desert but I wished I had gotten my own.”
“Our new favourite Thai place! Since moving back to NS we have tried to find a great Thai place that was not food court level. This is the place! Everything we’ve tried so far (been there twice now) has been delicious. Service is great. If you like Thai food go!”
“Minor point, if you saying you are at least A 4 star restaurant, with pricing to reflect that rating. Need to upscale you napkins, brown light weight paper napkins don't cut it! Also, your hostesses need to be aware, letting people cut in , how don't have a reservation, in front of those that where there before them, who had reservations, isn't appropriate.”
“my wife and I are here the other night for my birthday and was it ever good. great service, excellent food for a great price. we recommend and will be back soon.”
“The food, drinks and staff were all top notch. Everyone seemed very friendly and the music by Cory Mercer (@thecorymercerreport) was fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“Thanks for all you did today on my order of 15 pies for lunch. Starting before you were even open and with today’s terrible weather we could not have had a better lunch for my large group of hungry construction people!!!! Appreciate it every year. Thank you and Merry Christmas the pizza was delicious.”
“I always saw this place anytime I went to Sobeys or access NS but never thought to try it because we don’t like pickles. I was thinking it might be pickle oriented. We gave it a try today and had an amazing brunch, Saiid went above and beyond for us. Being a single mom going out to eat with two small kids isn’t an easy task but Saiid made sure we felt welcome and comfortable moving an extra round table closer to us so my kids could continue to Color while they ate. Thank you for the wonderful brunch, it was delish, we’ll be back ! :)”

“First off, the appetizers are to die for. Me and my buddies got ribs and chicken tenders for the main and let me say.. By far the best chicken tenders I have ever had. Jenn was the best server I have ever met, she always brought me more lemonade when she knew I was getting low. So thoughtful, will be here again.”
“Maybe the best Indian food I’ve had in HRM. Huge portions for a reasonable price and it all tastes homemade with a proper amount of spice (hard to find sometimes).I ordered via Uber so I’m sure it’s even better fresh from the kitchen!”

“Our fav place to order stuff crust pizza. Little pricy to add but we think it is worth it. Ordered on our way home and was ready when we arrived and too hot to eat until we got home.”
“Thank-you so much to the staff, and to whom I believe was the owner, for being accommodating, for great service, for delicious food ( great quality and quantity) which all made my birthday celebration enjoyable and memorable. All 10 of us really enjoyed our meal and we all said we would definitely return! A real gem! Highly recommended!”
“We had takeout last night, suggested by our daughter. Omg the dishes and appetizers were the best. We are retired and have had our fair share Asian cuisine. This will be our new go to place.”
“Just had a pizza from here tonight. Excellent as always. I find it strange that onions aren't included on a works though and you have to pay extra for them. I've never seen that anywhere I've had pizza from. Great pizza though and I'll continue to order.”
“Papa Johns is our go to pizza place ever since they opened at the Portland Street location ! They always serve us with great customer service and are super pleasant. The food has been consistently good every time we order! 10/10 would recommend !”

“Wanted to write an update as we have been coming here consistently for a few months now. It's still exceptional!! The tempura is hot and tasty, servings are large, fish is fresh and the prices are reasonable. The owner and his staff are so friendly and really put in an effort to take care of their customers. This has quickly become our favorite sushi and ramen restaurant in HRM! If you haven't tried it yet, you should!”
“Fantastic place to grab lunch and watch the world go by. Right on the waterfront with huge windows. Also 10/10 for anyone with celiac concerns as Evans tailor their menu towards GF options and the staff knowledge of GF is amazing!”
“We visited for the first time this evening. The owner was so helpful and friendly. Great prices and amazing food. I’m gluten sensitive and appreciated the selection. So happy we found this place. We will be back soon.”
“I prefer the food selection here over Mizu. It’s not a perfect score because I was not too fond of the customer service. I guess it varies with the server and time. I had a male server who was not very good. I came here at 2pm for lunch. The ambience is also not that great.”
“All great. Sadly some people who stank of cannabis came in and ruined the experience. Not the bar's fault. It's the government's fault for allowing that poison to be legal.”
“We absolutely adore this spot! The burritos and quesadillas are phenomenal- all fresh and delicious ingredients. I keep wanting to try other things too but it’s so hard to move away from that beef burrito! Homemade chips on the side are also to die for. Highly recommend!”
“We really like this place and have gone back a couple of times. We like the variety and the food is good for being a buffet. One of the few buffet paces left and we like it!”
“Stopped into this Cafe for the first time when i discovered my other favourite local cafe closed down :(I went with a bacon breakfast sandwich and let me tell you.. i am usually a pick eater and it comes with things i would usually leave aside. however i decided to try it as it was intended and i do NOT regret it. One of the best I’ve had here in dartmouth.I also got an iced latte, again, not my usual but it was delicious and creamy.The atmosphere is super welcoming and pleasant all the staff were smiling and it seemed they had a good flow going for how busy they were while I was there ! However, a bit small, it would be awesome if they had the space to expand !I also noticed they had a “Put it on a tab” for those who may not be able to afford a meal. A+ to you guys ! will definitely be back in the future !”

“The Canteen had a cozy atmosphere. The menu had lots of delicious options. I was hoping to try their lobster roll but it was a seasonal dish. I had the haddock sandwich and soup. The sandwich was good but the soup was delicious. Service was great.”
