Been there twice. Tried the club sandwich and fish and chips. The club is huge with roast turkey,…read morebacon, tomato and mayo. Bacon was so tasty. Turkey was a bit dry but overall the club was really good. I did not like the fries that much. Not my favourite and definitely not hand cut fries like other places. The fish(haddock) was a giant piece that tasted really good. Not sure where they get their fish from but it's better than the one I get from the store. The restaurant is close to the zoo, has 2 friendly dogs always sitting outside. The place is quiet even when there are kids around. Service is good. I think the lady was the owner and she was nice and polite. I think a big plus for the restaurant is that it's pretty big if you want to take more people in there.

Stopped in Sunday Oct4/26 at 5:15 pm. Place was maybe 1/2 full…read more Had our order taken by 5:30 We waited and waited We ordered a clubhouse and roast beef dinner , both were daily specials . We saw people coming in ordering and getting their food while we waited. All the time either waitress never said anything to us , that their was a problem or our food would be out shortly. Nothing. At 6:30 I called the older waitress over and told her we could not wait any longer we had to leave. She said OH it will be right out. Totally poor poor service. WE will Never recommend this place to anyone and certainly tell everyone not to go there!!!

This location is one of those places with history and story, the grand son even works at the…read morerestaurant. If you read their website former dairy farmers turned lobster restaurant cooks on weekends. The location did not have live music on Sunday. You get the funny bib if you want and the lobster meal for $44 with mussels and unlimited salad and rolls or $39 without the mussels but unlimited salad and rolls. The lobster was rather corny in taste, they were not over cooked and pretty nice. The mussels they tasted like the standard grocery store ones- apparently from farmed source. The waiters and waitresses frequently visited to check on us and empty out buckets. The meal also came with two dessert options and self serve coffee/tea. The experience- was nice but pricey and a bit touristy. It was sadden that the unlimited salad bar actually lacked green salad or spinach- which I was sort of craving. They generally had a selection of mayonnaise based salads- look at my photo. But some selection- but I didn't see anything fun like crab salad. The machine auto request for 15% tip, so if you're not a fan of being told what to tip be sure to manually adjust it. Washroom is located in the main floor and the lower floor. Water was self serve- which I thought was odd since the servers were visiting frequently already.

Love this place. Somewhat hidden gem not so far outside Halifax. Well worth the drive. Hasn't…read morechanged at all in decades & that just great. Huge lobsters, tasty mussels and old fashioned desserts. We stop here every time we got out this way.
