    My husband and I ate dinner here tonight. I had the lobster…read moreroll with a side of potato salad. The potato salad was homemade, with egg and a mayonnaise-based dressing. As far as potato salad goes, it was excellent. The lobster roll was perfect, everything a lobster roll should be, in my opinion. The medium-sized lobster pieces (including several claws) were tossed with diced celery and mayonnaise, which was then placed on a Boston lettuce leaf inside a buttered and grilled top-sliced bun. My husband had the Sandpiper Special, a grilled lobster and cheese sandwich. Once again, the person working the grill produced a perfectly browned and toasted bread, and nestled between was saucy, gooey, melted cheese and delicate lobster. He washed it down with a great draft beer from a local craft brewery, Tatamagouche Brewing Company. We shared a strawberry shortcake for dessert. The homemade shortcake was sliced in half and layered with sweet macetated fresh strawberries (perhaps from the strawberry farm just up the road.) A large dollop of real whipped cream towered high above, but proved quickly to be just the right amount so that every mouthful contained the three components of the dish. The food and drinks all arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was friendly and polite. For seven o'clock on a Tuesday night, the place was half full - very impressive. If you're looking for delicious, homemade food, prompt and friendly service, all with a good price, then this is the place to go. I hope we're able to return tomorrow for lunch before leaving the area.

    Ceilidh Drive-In - Cheeseburger goodness

    This fixture of Blue Acres has been around for longer than I've been present on this plane of…read moreexistence, so it's with deep shame that I admit that it was only this spring that I tried it for the first time. 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.
