    No reservations deli, leave you name and number and we will call you. Service is friendly but rushed. Ambiance is good for small groups. We tried the lobster roll (good size), seafood chowder and seafood pizza. Highlight for us is the seafood pizza, surprisingly the freshness of the mussels and scallops shine through. While the lobster roll and seafood chowders are delicious, they do not stand out from other restaurants

    Lobster roll and seafood chowder

    Best lobster rolls we had on our trip. Plenty of meat. My wife also had the seafood chowder that she said was the best she's had. Also had ordered Greek salad which came with pasta on it. I would recommend warming the pasta a little bit. Cool place. There was a wait but things moved fast. Service was fast and great.

    Lobster Roll

    They have a patio if you want to eat outside but there's also an indoor seating area. Service was pretty quick! I got a lobster roll. It was good but not the best that I've ever had. It's not a very mayonnaise based roll but still flavorful.

    I enjoyed the scallop linguine with pesto sauce at the Salt Shaker Deli and couple weeks ago. This is a tiny place in Lunenburg with great service, a fun ambiance and delicious food. Our group had a great meal and enjoyed this experience.

    We stopped by here for lunch. It was quite a busy service as there was a big wait list for table seating, but we decided to sit at the bar. We ordered their lobster roll and their crab cakes. The crab cakes by itself can be a bit heavy, but eating with their relish brighten the flavours their lobster roll was similar to a tuna salad with a variety of veggies and very light on the mayo. It was really light and refreshing. I would definitely come back here for lunch, and servers are very friendly.

    Lobster roll with chowder soup

    I ordered the lobster roll and seafood chowder. While the lobster roll was okay, I've definitely had better; the roll was a bit too burnt for my liking. The restaurant has a cozy diner atmosphere that feels very welcoming. The staff were fantastic, providing great service throughout our visit.

    Got in before the rush from the buses. Good sized portions. Had fish cakes, lumberjack pizza, lobster roll and chowder. Sat at the front porch which had a nice breeze today and was quieter. Had only a little time before we had to leave.

    Avril, Hanna & Cailen. Wow. What a gem of a place..... on a side adventure for the day and out of all the things and places we saw..... THIS was the highlight of the whole day. As for food and drink; all was fantastic! (Although we only had the soup - Tomato & Seafood). I did see plenty of plates go out of the kitchen however and everything looked fresh and delicious. If you get a chance to visit this quaint town, make this your lunch spot! What a joy. Thank you staff for being helpful, engaging and so inviting. Cheers!

    Lobster roll and chowder

    The food was amazing and the staff were great. The manager was so nice and personable and seated our party of 6 as quickly as possible. The lobster roll had only a small amount of mayo and was delicious. The smoked scallops in the chowder gave it great flavor. The fish cakes and Cesar salad was also very tasty. Had the smoked salmon and hot crab dip For appetizers and they were also so good-duh in quickly and so didn't take any pics. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. It was worth the wait.

    - mussels with white wine sauce was yummy! But the size of the muss were small - house ice tea was good - around 30 mins waiting time to be seated

    I thought that the seafood chowder would just be a sideshow to the lobster roll. It wasn't. Hard to say which was better. Everything here is amazing!

    Pizzas were awesome. Pad Thai was good - not traditional flavor but very good, generous portion and tender chicken. Good service too.

    Busy place on a holiday, but the wait staff kept up. I had the best lobster roll ever. Good views of the harbor.

    For a place with such limited food options you would think it would be easy to be the best Pizza in…read morethe neighbourhood. Little Jo's pizza isn't bad, but the service and attitude sort of stinks. We once waited for two hours for a pizza. It showed up and they tried to charge us for it even though it was stone cold. I've had calls where I was treated like trash just trying to order a pie. All in all most Pizza in HRM all tastes the same barring some exceptions. They all get the same ingredients from the same Sysco truck, it's a numbers game. This isn't any different.

    I understand that a lot of places are having a difficult time due to the pandemic, but Little Jo's…read morehas really gone downhill. We've ordered three times over the past while, and the food is really, really bad. Fish and chips - the fish wasn't just burnt, it was incinerated, and the few fries that were tossed in were undercooked. Pizza was unbelievably tasteless - very skimpy ingredients and cheese...although few ingredients may not be a bad thing, since the mushrooms were really funky. Add to this that I was overcharged two of the three times, and the staff on all three visits were clearly unhappy that they were working, because they didn't smile or use any type of customer service skills they may possess. In fact, they were pretty sullen and even rude. Not even a "thanks for the support", even though I overtipped on two visits, because I know a lot of restaurants are struggling to stay afloat. Oh, and no masks worn by staff, no evidence of sanitizing between customers, and the signage they used to have up about requiring masks, etc are all gone. I'm really sad about this one...ordering here used to be a great experience from beginning to end, and the food was pretty good, but I will vote with my feet and spend my money elsewhere.
