Bread is toasted warm with garlic spread. This is heaven! We also ordered fish and chips as todays special for $10, again there are lots of fries, fish has a thin batter which makes it more crispy. I would recommend only have 1 order with fries, the other ones just skip it otherwise you can't finish. I'm so glad that I came here on Sunday. It closed on Monday and Tuesday, Sunday opens until 6pm but depends on when they sold out. Highly recommended, I found this place online. 1 more thing, everything is freshly made so with the lineup, you expect 15-20mins wait.

There currently in a large parking lot with a couple of picnic tables but most people seemed to eat in their cars. I did have the lobster roll, so good and fairly priced at $16 as lobster is expensive this season. We were lucky to get them as they've been running out of lobster by mid afternoon this summer. A great spot for seafood lovers.

Meeting a friend there, it came highly recommended on their part. It was nice to have the confirmation of a local, as the interwebs can't always be trusted (says the guy writing internet reviews...). We were luckily able to snag a spot on their bright and spacious enclosed patio! Both their breakfast and lunch menus were options when we arrived, and I was torn in multiple directions. I ended up landing on the fishcakes and salad ($18) instead of the heavier breakfast fishcakes iteration, as I was anticipating a hearty dinner and some greenery would be a bit lighter in the belly than eggs, homefries and toast. Three fishcakes were dotted with salmon, haddock and bright pops of green onion. They had a nice little crust from the griddle, and a chow brought its signature mix of acidity and sweetness to balance things out. The greens were fresh, and candied pecans, goat cheese and tart slices of Granny Smith apple added layers of flavour and texture. My wife's fried chicken sandwich ($19 + $2 sweet potato fries upgrade) was a towering mass of savoury delight. Two pieces of crispy, fried chicken was topped with creamy coleslaw, with some tartness showing up to the party care of the pickles. The SPF were good and crisp, and their chipotle mayo made for delicious dipping. Service was friendly, but needed some nudges on a busy Saturday afternoon. Big bonus points for the baked goods we took home! Ultra-chocolate-y brownies; massive, cheesy cheddar bagels; and a dee-lish-ous (bad spelling added for emphasis) cheddar and jalapeno bread. Justamere isn't just a big fish in a small pond, they're just killing it with both their hot and baked goods.

While looking for a quick lunch on a sunny Saturday, I was right behind a few other people who just got their food as I was ordering, putting me at the front of the queue. Owner and sole staff member Donna guided me through the highlights of her menu and I settled on the hamburger platter. Several minutes of wonderfully pleasant chit chat with Donna followed while I watched her prepare my food like a well-oiled machine. My food was soon ready, coming tightly packed on a heaped paper plate for me to eat in my car, although you can get it secured for a trip home or elsewhere. The crinkle cut fries, while unsurprisingly from a bag, were spot on, with shatteringly crisp exteriors and light, fluffy interiors. The burger was diner-style par excellence - steamed bun; a beefy, hand-made, griddle-cooked patty; melty cheese; sauteed onions, and some bite from mustard and relish. I should have nixed the ketchup to dial back the sweetness, but this was still a great little burger. A cup of house-made coleslaw was of the creamy variety, but still had a bit of tang to it, which helped cut through the rich meal a little bit. On my return visit, I went with the fish and chips. While it's a box that a lot of restaurants feel they have to check, and they do so poorly with from-frozen, pre-battered fish, I heard that Donna batters it in-house, so I was looking forward to trying it. This was a very good order of F&C. The batter was light and airy, and the two-piece was a good amount of food, with the pieces like the half filets that you'll see around, rather than the one gargantuan piece of fish that pubs often have for shock value. The fish was firm, but tender and flakey and I don't know if tartar sauce was forgotten or isn't offered, but I truly just enjoyed the fish on its own. Ceilidh Drive-In is among a dying breed of old school greasy spoons that do the simple stuff well, and while it took me a while to get there, it won't be long before I'm back.

We enjoyed the lobster roll and fish & chips. So delicious! The beers we got were great too - a blueberry beer and the 1776 IPA. Both were delicious.

The fries were solid, but the fish itself was just okay, and the tartar sauce didn't hit the mark for me. Service was fine, though the front‑of‑house experience was odd.

There's a lot of hype around this place, so I came in expecting something memorable. Unfortunately, the visit didn't live up to the reputation. Been there done that.

The breakfast menu looks a bit limited, only a few specific items. However there are choices within each plate and a long list of sides. The full breakfast includes fishcakes, chow and baked beans.

But between everyone in our group enjoying their food and the excellent services we received from our server Randi - I can't NOT give it five stars. It's not perfect - but our group was very happy overall. We pit stop in Port Hawkesbury after getting off the ferry at Caribou and making our way to Glenora Distillery Inn. This restaurant had the highest reviews of any restaurant in the area. They were able to accommodate our Group of nine including four adults and five kids. The only issue was that their debit and credit machine was down so they accepted cash only. Outside of that - the food and service were excellent. Our server Randi was excellent at checking on allergy issues we had around eggs and nuts. What we ordered: Starters: - Nachos. Solid. Nothing spectacular. Kids menu: - The Works pizza. The kids liked it. It was pretty basic. Thinner crust and looked like oven baked, but again - the kids that had it said "yummy." - Quesadillas. Really good. One of our kids ordered it without peppers. The first order came with peppers. Randi offered to replace it quickly and immediately - and was apologetic about the mix up. This is one of those service moments that gets you a star added or taken away. The customer first attitude and service was top notch. Thank you Randi. Randi also comped a dessert for that kid as well. Adults: - Crab Cakes. My wife really enjoyed them. I had one bite and they are not my thing - but my wife really wanted crab cakes and they delivered on her expectations fully. Good job! - Maple Spinach Salad as a side is Soooooooooo good. Loved it. Get it. - Seafood Chowder was exactly what other reviews said - made with fresh ingredients, super chunky with lots of seafood and not that many potatoes, and was tasty. One of the top two chowders I've had on this trip. - Fish and Chips was MASSIVE. One piece is plenty, but the update to two pieces is a deal. Manage your stomach space accordingly. We had our desserts packed to go, but a couple of bites of the Turtle Cheesecake and Coconut Cream Poe were delicious. Again, max score I would give on these types of places is four stars because I reserve five stars for my favourite places that you can't miss. But all the food was good - and Randi was really excellent. Randi earned this place a five star review.
