    Real good local food. Nothing fancy just darn good. Worth the money. Have the scallops and fish and chips.

    This cafe reminded us from places back home. Good food, good service, good coffee. It was exactly what we needed and wanted for breakfast.

    I REALLY WANTED to LOVE Jo-Anne's Q-N-T!! It's the kind of place I love to love. It's been around…read moreforever, has an old school menu, a really nice staff and is apparently famous for their delicious homemade pies. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, and our order turned around pretty fast. I went with a lunch special of seafood chowder and a western omelette on toast. My lunch was ok enough to warrant a 3 star. The reason for the 2 star, is the foul smell that permeates the entire dining room. It shifts from a latrine explosion to an uncleaned barnyard, and it is STRONG! I have no idea where the smell is coming from, but it cannot be ignored and absolutely impacts the experience!

    3 stars on Yelp is called an "A-OK" and that's exactly what the Quick-N-Tasty is. It seems to be…read moreworking for them just fine, seeing as the place has been open for 50+ years without a hitch (or any changes in decor). Many of its patrons - some of my dining partners included - have been visiting for just as long. Since there are no other reviews yet, I'll take the liberty of giving lucky you, hungry Yarmouth-visitor, a detailed breakdown: From what I can tell, you can't really go wrong with the breakfast menu (which stops being served at an absurdly early 10:30AM) or the daily specials, including turkey dinners on Sundays, smoked fish, salt fish cakes, and various sandwiches. The egg breakfasts ($4.25-$8.25) are beyond basic but include your choice of toast, and if your choice isn't the spectacular brown bread, I don't want to hear about it. Alternatively, you can try a traditional Acadian dish like Rappie pie ($10) or a bowl of chowder ($8). But the menus and placemats urge you to try the "famous hot lobster sandwich" ($20) and being a compliant customer, I did. Is it tasty? Yes, it's lobster between two slices of white bread in hot cream sauce. Is it wildly overpriced for its tiny portion? Also yes. Desserts seemed to be more reasonably priced, and there's several varieties of pie available at any given time, from coconut cream to peanut butter. One thing: the smell. You may have heard about it from reviews elsewhere on the web. I can confirm that the odor that greets your entrance is nauseating. For what it's worth, your olfactory senses adjust to it after a few minutes. Note this is NOT a late night place - summer hours are 8AM-8PM but normally it closes at an even earlier 7PM. IN SUMMATION: Do stop in for the family fare that the locals have been scarfing down for generations, but the value you'd expect from a small town diner like this isn't quite there.

    We had just gotten off a whale watch, and it was close to many restaurants' closing times…read more Everywhere we tried to go was too close to closing to let us in or they were closed. This was our only option before a 2 1/2 hour drive to Halifax. The service was good. Our server was very nice. But the food was... mediocre. The salad dressing came in little Kraft packets. The meals came with two veggie sides and mashed potatoes. The veggies -- carrots and parsnips -- tasted either canned or boiled or both. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and had food that was lower quality than I make in my own kitchen. The scallops were decent which was the only consolation as we had been looking forward to scallops from Digby since before our trip. The restaurant could also use a refresh. The inside looks like it's 1986. The air conditioning was also messed up and the inside of the restaurant was so cold I had to go get a long sleeved shirt from the car. And I am never cold. I rarely leave bad reviews, but I had to tell my honest opinion. I didn't even take pictures of our food which goes to show how disappointed I was.

    The original owner/chef passed away last year and now is apparently run by a friendly Mexican. I…read morehad a pretty good 2-piece haddock and chips, and my wife enjoyed her scallop roll. We ate on the diner side, open for lunch, but there is a much larger dining room as well. Recommended!
