I finally went to a BeaverTail and got 1 to try! I'd like to go back to try more flavors! Food - Pistachi-OH! was so good but it was a bit on the sweeter side for me. It was a fun crunchy donut like pastry. Service - Very friendly service. - So kind to help me cut into 8 sharable pieces for my family. Ambiance - Great location and really easy to spot from the block up the hill. - However, the right side where they call the orders out for pickup is right in front of the restroom entrance. read more

Great place to try for the first time. Good prices, got OG, Hazelnut and Rizzy Glizzy- all were solid not mind blowing.

I walked to BeaverTails while at port with Virgin Voyages and I could not resist ordering the poutine with additional fried cheese curds. It did not disappoint and sometime you should not miss if you are wanting to try poutine or are just wandering around the water. Service was friendly and quick. Plenty of places to get a table or find a seat to watch the water. read more

BeaverTails - Poutine with additional deep fried cheese curds. - Fast Food Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I found this place on the waterfront along with some other food truck type stalls. The customer service was great in getting the orders taken and serving up fresh hot beavertail pastries. I ordered at the front window and picked it up on the side window. There is seating nearby but no seating designated for this place and it can get very busy during the middle part of the day, especially when cruise ships are in port. read more

We've had BeaverTails from Jasper to Nova Scotia and PEI. This location is by far my favorite! Served fresh and hot by the friendliest worker! I would recommend this stop to anyone at the Halifax waterfront/boardwalk. We usually get the Classic and it was perfect. We'll be back if we're ever in the area again! read more

As expected, I can't think of anything to say that would inform your decision to eat sweet fried dough. We stuck with the cinnamon sugar, and we're happy with it. read more

When your from the U.S. getting a Beaver Tail is the ultimate quest. We missed one in Saint John New Brunswick but found one down by the water in Halifax. Yummy read more

I had never heard of this particular Canadian delicacy. But that said, it was amazing! We need these in America! Lots of different topping options, so anyone should be able to find one they'll enjoy. My only regret is that we didn't have time to come back. Come to America, Beavertails! read more

I was in Canada on vacation. I personally never heard of a beaver tail. But walking around the port I noticed people eating this pastry. when I found the location that sold them there were so many choices. You can get it with cookies, ice cream, candy and about 20 other combinations. I went with the two basic and classic options. I got the tail with maple syrup which was epic and so tasty. I also got the original. they were both worth the price and wait. Just know that if you pay with American dollars they give you Canadian change and it is not equivalent to the us dollar. I always keep the Canadian money because its very ornate so it wasn't really a big issue for me. read more

BeaverTails - a person holding a bag of bread - Fast Food Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

There was a BeaverTails stand at the Halifax Harbour, so we got the Avalanche, which features Cheesecake spread, Skor® bits, and caramel sauce. I think this was our first time trying Skor, a chocolate toffee bar that was first marketed in the United States in 1981 and later launched in Canada in 1983. "Skör" is Swedish for "brittle". read more

Our tour guide had mentioned this as a must go place. I had seen it the day before in St. John, but didn't stop then. I wish I had! I was not familiar with Beavertails before this trip. And now I wish I could get it here in Colorado. It's basically a fried dough with a topping. There's a few premade options to choose from. I am a huge fan of maple, so I couldn't pass up a chance to try that. It was even better than I imagined. Coated with a maple spread, some small maple candy bites, and a drizzle of chocolate, my mouth was very happy! It's a pretty sweet treat, and I am sure I couldn't eat it as often as I like, but it sure was a nice special item for a vacation. read more

BeaverTails - Maple Beavertail - Fast Food Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

If you haven't had the pleasure of a 'beavertail' then you're missing out on one of the best Canadian delicacies going. Seriously, they're right up there with fresh salmon, lobsters and maple syrup! First of all, just in case you aren't aware, a beaver tail is a: whole-wheat pastry that has been deep friend in soy oil, stretched to look like a beaver's tail, smothered in butter and topped with your choice of delectable toppings. My personal favorite: apples with whipped cream. Disclaimer: Do not be confused by the term 'whole wheat.' These are terrible for you. The best time to eat a beavertail is after a day of skiing in Whistler, but a jaunt along the Halifax boardwalk rings a close second. Be sure the check out this little kiosk the next time you're on the harbour front. read more

BeaverTails - Fast Food Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Yes its a good place for a quick desert one a long walk at the waterfront. but just a quick desert to try out for once, maybe twice. Beaver Tails is simply a booth that provides a piece of dough ( which a year ago seemed to be bigger in size) with various types of topping by your choice. Ranging from cinnamon, chocolate, banana and apple pieces, if your craving some sugar after a long walk down the waterfront on a sunny hot and exhausting day, maybe its a good choice to visit. On the other hand, its is defiantly not something to eat at everyday. It is simply a touristic or summer thing to do !. On a brighter note, their Moozo Smoothies are phenomenal ! MY personal favourite is the Strawberry Banana. Trust me , this is the thing that you need to get from beaver tails. ICE cold, fresh and refreshing in such hot summer weather. I recommend you to try the venue one. And maybe visit once in a while as its not the "wow" place to be all the time, and defiantly not the place to be if you want to be in shape. read more

Wait, aren't you vegan? Believe or not, Beavertails can be made for vegans too!! My friend actually originally let me know know because I always walked by and assumed I couldn't have them. She said the original cinnamon and sugar was vegan-friendly without the butter so that's what I got and all I can say is yummmmmmmmmm. I emailed the company and found out they had a few more options for vegans: simply ask for no butter: Cinnamon sugar and Killaloe Sunrise, Apple cinnamon with no caramel drizzle or butter, Maple without butter or chocolate and coco vanil without butter or chocolate. You can also get their smoothies without yogurt. I had the Coco vanil tonight without butter or chocolate sauce and it was amazing. I am so excited to find a new place to get a sweet treat. read more

Beavertails aren't the only confection they serve here, they also offer Moozoo smoothies, sundaes, fries, hot dogs and more. Definitely not for those watching their waistlines, but perfect for a vacation treat while enjoying the waterfront. Lines can be long, but aren't too bad usually. There's limited outdoor seating for those who need a sit down. read more

Well I think I like walking the waterfront just to get a Beavertails. YUM, There is nothing like the smell of a hot Cinnamon Beavertails hot out of the over drizzled with sprinkled cinnamon. OMG. Now yes there are other tails that you can taste and some of them to me are too sweet. By niece and nephew get one chocolate chips and chocolate and icing. Now I did try it and it was very yummy but a bit too sweet for me. There is nothing like a summer at the waterfront watch the boats and enjoying a Beavertails. read more

Oh Beavertails...you are what you are. This food stand on the waterfront is tourist central so I only partake in the deep-fried dough party once every couple of years. Yes - it's just deep-fried dough that you top with your favourite combination of seasonings like fruits, sugars, whipped creams and plenty more that are generally just terrible for you. It's the Canadian churro. When I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of these. But much like rolling down grassy hills, the grown-up reality never measures up to the memory. The wait time is long and the quality is inconsistent. The last few I've had have been overfried making what's supposed to be a chewy treat a flaky, crunchy mess. I appreciate the institution of it all but it's just not my fav anymore. read more

I don't know if it was an off day, or if I may have chose the wrong combination. Went with the cinnamon style one.. so I can't imagine that was the issue. But it was just awful.. the cooking flavor was bland, and stale tasting. Not much else to say.. it was just a let down. So much so, when I went to the home of the tail.. I didn't even bother. read more

How would I define a BeaverTail? Ooey-gooey deep-fried delicious pastry heaven on a napkin with your choice of topping(s). Yes. They are really that good. The original BeaverTail is simply the pastry itself sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. But for the more adventurous they offer many other flavour options to grace the top of your Tail as well, including Apple Cinnamon, Banana Chocolate (with real slices of banana), and Maple Butter, to name just a few. So eat your heart out. Your waistline may not thank you but your mouth sure will! read more

A deep fried piece of dough with cinnamon on it. That is all a beaver tail is. It is probably the worst thing you could ever let your body process and yet here I am singing its praises. The Beaver Tail is delicious. And if you step foot in our fair city in the summer time and don't pick one up, you're not really living. Trust me, this little shack on the waterfront has the tastiest snack around. Ignore your diet for a few minutes and have a bite, you will not regret it. As I said, I like cinnamon, but there are plenty of toppings and combination to choose from. All of them are wildly unhealthy and ludicrously delicious. Once in a while this is the place to go. Don't go too often unless you feel like buying pants with a bigger waist, but definitely stop by and taste a genuine Canadian delicacy! read more

Back again this year and same deal, a great summer treat, especially if you can sit on one of the benches that are nearby and look out over the water. Service is super friendly, if you're on the walkway/promenade/boardwalk, definitely worth grabbing one and snack and walk. read more

Forget my diet! The reason why you should get yourself a Beavertail can be summed up in one word, "Avalanche." Pieces of Skors, chocolate drizzle and cream cheese on a pastry. Enough said. But if you need more information then I'll continue. Basically Beavertails are dressed up pastries. There is a huge variety of Beavertails from classic Cinnamon to the Avalanche and a lot more. However, one of the best reasons to go is so that you can do what we did and trick a friend to believe that these are in fact real Beaver tails. Our friend was from Iceland and it took a few minutes but he bought into our little prank and thought that he was actually eating Beaver tails. We then forgot about the prank until a few months later when he was telling someone else who was new to the country about how he can eat real Beaver tails. We then had to admit we were fooling around. But I highly suggest you try this because its a lot of fun! The staff at Beavertails rank about average. They are generally quite nice and helpful but not overly friendly. Its a tough job I will admit. Or at least it looks that way from where I'm standing. But a smile would be greatly appreciated. If you are new to Beavertails I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't try them. I love them and am never disappointed! read more

I will not mince words about the fact that Beavertails are probably the worst food for you in the entire world. On a scale from one to diabetes they get a solid 9.8. Beavertails are deep fried pastries with your choice of many delectable toppings including chocolate and bananas and cinnamon sugar. Now, admittedly these treats are delicious, and some even say addictive and with so many different options it can be tough to eat only one! They aren't the cheapest treats though and can be over five bucks if you want the deluxe versions. My favorite Beavertail comes with Whip Cream so I make sure I only maow in moderation. Remember to bring wipes for your hands or scope out the public washroom line in advance because (and this applies especially to the summer months) Beavertails tend to leave hands in a sticky mess. Despite that they are a perfect treat to enjoy when strolling along the Harbourwalk. read more

For what it is, you'd never guess the love inspired in the hearts of those who love them. Fried dough with sugar and cinnamon - really, is there anything else to say? Beavertails offers the sublime goodness of grease and sugar, all wrapped up in a delightful beaver-tailed shape of goodness. Beavertails are a must for us when we hit the Halifax waterfront. Although I have one kid who will opt for a slushee instead, the rest of us gravitate to Beavertails like there's a homing chip implanted in our shoes. As someone else posted in their review, they aren't the cheapest snack going. But if you're foregoing lunch, these hit the spot with just the right about of terrible goodness. read more

Beavertails is the Best! Summertime without a BeaverTail, Never! They are really a treat, fully loaded. My favorite is the Cinnamon. However, I have tried the one covered in chocolate, with skor pieces and carmel drizzled over it. Wow, it was sweet. I had some help eating that one. It is our favorite on the waterfront in summer. read more

Hotspot central! Calling all pastry buffs-- Beavertails will give you something to swoon over. My sister introduced me to this "much loved spot" just recently, and until then, this was a slice of heaven I had gone without. The menu itself proves excitement, as this isn't your average croissant or toaster strudel. This waterfront eatery offers smoothies, frozen yogurt and a sure selection of interesting pastries. My sister decided on a strawberry frozen yogurt (she said was delish), and I went for the Chocolate Hazel Pastry. Because who knows when I'll ever be here again.... right? Yum. Succulent. Mouthwatering. Fantastic. What else is there to say? The pastry was soft, buttery goodness and the sweet filling/ toppings were fresh and liquified. An extravagant treat for sure, but one worth the indulgence. My sweet tooth was quenched, and I may be onto a new once-a-week kick. read more

I would give this place 5 stars, but alas, as much as I like the Halifax location (conveniently situated on the lively and scenic Halifax Waterfront), it still doesn't quite compare to the experiences I've had in Ottawa. Don't get me wrong, these pastries are absolutely divine (so bad for you, yet SOOO good!!). I've tried virtually every variety of Beavertail, and they are all fantastic (my personal fave: the maple sugar one. VERY Canadian!) For me though, the TRUE Beavertails experience is in O-town, where the Beavertail tradition first began. Nothing beats heading out onto the historic Rideau Canal for skating, and making a pit stop at one of the many Beavertails huts set up along the skating route for a hot chocolate and a tasty Beavertail. That's the real-deal... read more

Definitely, this is a one of the delicious place for a quick warm desert with a long walk at the waterfront.There is nothing like the smell of a hot Cinnamon Beavertails drizzled with sprinkled cinnamon. Classic one. This little shack on the waterfront has the tastiest snack around. I am so eagerly waiting for this store to open again this summer. They do have many different kinds, I have tried maybe 3 kinds and all were simply amazing. Not good for one to go often as it's deep fried and lots of toppings (reese, nutella, skors and many more) But it's hard to resist. And hell ya who is on a diet plan, eh!? read more

After over a year of hearing Beaver Tails were great, etc. I finally decided to try one few months ago. I got the Triple Trip, which had hazelnut spread, Reese's Pieces, and peanut butter. To be honest, I didn't like it. Maybe it was the flavor I chose and I just didn't like that flavor, or maybe it was an off day. Regardless, I don't think I'll return anytime soon, if at all. read more

I've tried beaver tails at two different locations, this one and a place in Quebec. The first time was when I was a child in Quebec, and I got the reeses pieces chocolate beaver tail, which was phenomenal. Of course, I was a child which probably meant anything sweet and covered in chocolate and peanut butter was phenomenal to me. This year I tried Beavertails for the first time, and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered I think the "Avalanche" and it was smothered in cream cheese, topped with maple syrup and chocolate Skors. It was the epitome of sugar, grease, and happiness. Like I remember when I was a child, the beaver tail was soft, moist, and doughy - everything that makes a perfect beaver tail! Not cheap but not overpriced, you get what you pay for. If you haven't tried this place, definitely give it a chance! You won't be disappointed with its deep fried goodness. read more
