We stopped on our way back from sightseeing at the local lighthouses. We arrived about 40 minutes…read morebefore closing and the place was still pretty packed. Typical tourist decor with the fake fish on the wall, but cute nonetheless. We ordered, mussels, baked clams as our appetizer and then waited....for over 30 minutes! When the waitress finally did come back she apologized for the delay and said it was her fault (she didn't say what happened so I'm guessing she forgot to put the ticket it). But the whole time we were waiting she never once came back to check on us or our drink sitch- hubbys water was empty for awhile. Then our mains came out, I had to try the lobster and my hubs had the salmon. He ordered corn with it but got the carrots. No biggie he likes both. Again there was no follow up with us and we wanted dessert. He finally had to go up to the bar to get her attention so we could order it and take to go. Great food, a little lacking in the customer service. Great price!!

Was hiking on the island and wanted seafood. Unfortunately, I wanted to try lobster in a…read morerestaurant for the first time, but lobster season in the area was over.... Went with scallops, onion rings, coleslaw and a Bahama Mamma drink. The scallops were tough and I didn't feel they were as fresh as other places, especially Nova Scotia and down the coast in the states. The coleslaw was interesting and I liked it. The onion rings were the worst I have ever had - I get the feeling they don't make them themselves, they were stuck together, very hard batter and the oil was dripping off them. The Bahama Mamma was beautiful to look at and tasted really good, but though I was dehydrated, I really didn't feel the liquor in it at all. The views are very nice. I did lots of looking to see what the best restaurant was on the island and there was nothing that was outstanding. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing and there are better things to have gotten, but the coleslaw, drink and the home made aoili dipping sauce for the onion rings was REALLY tasty and something that one should try if you are eating here.

Pro tip: they are super generous with fries. We really just needed one order of fries for four of us. The great thing is they will give you a $4 discount if you opt for no fries. That's a nice option. My fav was the fried scallops. They were large and tender. The clams and fish were pretty good too, though the batter on the fish was in the thicker side. Also the food takes a while - at least 30 minutes so be patient.

We stopped by last week and tried the fish and chips.. the fish was average. It tasted great but…read morethere wasn't really anything different than any other fish and chips. The fries tasted homemade; they were also great but again not much different than any other homemade fries. However the "fry sauce" that came with the fries was absolutely amazing! It is similar to McDonald's "Mac sauce" but better. It had such a great flavor and went great on the fries and even the fish!! Overall we had great food! The only reason this is a 4 star review and not a 5 star review is the friendliness of the woman taking the orders. She was pretty blunt and had an aggressive tone and didn't seem too happy to be there. we could've just caught her on a bad day but since we've only been once, it's hard to tell. All in all I would probably come back again just for the fry sauce.

Pretty sure we were the only non-"locals" there, but so glad we stopped. My 2-piece fish & chips was awesome and thanks to our young and gracious server for telling me that I could get even 1 or 2 pieces of fish and not be locked into the 3-piece because that would have been way too much for me. The portion size was perfect, and the price unbeatable. My wife had a delicious scallop roll and a side of fries, and loved it. Less than an hour to the border and very happy and satisfied!
