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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great sandwiches and main entree salads. Always a line for weekend lunch, when we typically eat there, but drop your name and party size and they will call you when your table is ready. Worth the wait. read more

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. read more

We ate out on the deck. The view was amazing; watched the sailboats out in the bay. The staff were very accommodating and punctual; very easy to converse with. The place was quite busy but that was not an issue for the staff. Nice cocktail menu and a very neat menu. We had the crab dip and the shrimp bruschetta with a 1/2 litre of Pinot Grigio- just the perfect amount of food for us as we were not hungry. All and all, very great place and would recommend to anyone who is passing through and visiting the area. read more

One of the worst dining experiences we've had. Like many reviews on Yelp or google had showed, this place is a very racist establishment. Waited 40 mins to be seated in full sun, no shade. Staff gave side-eyes when we asked to move, and the manager told us to move our own tableware, even when we were with two elders. 20 mins to get water. 40 mins later our food was misdelivered: our food to wrong table, twice. The dish we wanted to order was mis-introduced. When we tried to ask the manager, she rolled her eyes and rudely told us not to "yell," even though we spoke calmly. We were only non-white guests in the restaurant. Felt disrespected and unwelcome. There were also many reviews about this manager at the front desk, she got good reputation of being a "rude" server. To those rude, unprofessional, and unhappy, frowned hostesses: you apparently can stay home and play with your kids, but if you choose to come to work, please respect your work, your customer, and yourself. You're paid to serve your customers! Or try to work hard to get a job you are satisfied with. Overall, the service quality showed how many Canadians had been very similar to their American neighbors. And food quality is a joke. Absolutely do not recommend. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

An amazing lunch topped off our trip to Lunenburg- the lobster roll was overflowing with lobster chunks and the flavor was superb - same with the seafood chowder - overflowing with seafood chunks - the chowder is a lighter cream soup (unlike some chowders where the soup is thick and overly creamy. read more

- 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 read more

A must for your dining experience! Everything from impeccable service to outstanding food preparation. The establishment is clean and fresh. We dined on the chowder, which was one of my favorite chowders during my 17-day trek through Nova Scotia due to the Smokey flavor from the seafood and a lobster roll and order of fish cakes. Because of the amazing flavors of my entrees, I decided to go for dessert and I'm glad I did! The choc mousse was a definite not to miss! Great job to this culinary team. read more

Pizza is second to none, drizzled with their oils. Seafood chowder excellent too. Packed house, but quick to give you a call when your table is ready. Recommended! read more

The service was ok. We had the clam chower. The broth was ok. The body was mostly small bits of carrot and potato. Mixed with some undescribable clam or mussel bits and the tinyest shrimp i have ever seen. At 16.50 it is not a meal. read more

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

The service and food were amazing! My wife had the seafood chowder which she loved. I had the tomato soup with the cheese garlic bread. I can honestly say it's the best tomato soup I've ever had. I mean that. So yummy. read more

Oh, this is the best "deli" I've ever eaten at! So busy at lunch but worth the wait. We sat inside but there is outside seating also. Husband had smoked salmon club; "it was good," he said. I had fish cakes. Wow! The best meal of this trip! read more

This place was bumping & for very good reason! I was traveling with my family from Pittsburgh to Nova Scotia & happened upon this true gem overlooking the water. The atmosphere is chill & welcoming & makes you feel like you're in a true boating town. The wait staff was incredibly helpful, upbeat, & attentive! The food was AMAZING! Everything was fresh & tasted true "chef's kiss!" There was not one thing we didn't like. We had smoked salmon, lobster rolls, club sandwich, & seasonal desserts! Awesome Playlist too! Excellent experience! read more

Very good food, service and staff. We tried their garlic cheese bread.. it was very delicious and soft. We also tried their mushroom veggie sandwich and veggie pad Thai, which we were not able to dine so the staff was courteous to quickly pack it up, both the dishes tasted fantastic even cold, I wish we had the time to eat these hot at the restaurant. read more

Get the seafood boil!!!!! One of the best things I have ever tasted and it's such a beautiful spot!

Stopped in here for a quick lunch. Four of us, there was a table available but the waiter had to wait for someone else to seat us...at that same table. The place was tiny but it was a sunny day so a lot of people were seated on the patio. I felt it was too chilly for that. We ordered drinks and lunch together and everything came promptly. I had the beet salad which was tasty but a touch too much dressing. By the time I got half way through, it was all wilted and I'd had enough. Also ordered the smoke salmon plate. It was excellent. Had all bases covered with the capers onions, dill cream cheese, tomato, and arugula. Loved it. Friend had the margarita pizza which reminded me a bit of those kiddie pizzas we ordered when we were 12. Another friend had the blt and tomato soup. Soup was excellent. Hot and fresh. Will be back again sometime. read more

We came to this restaurant for dinner and was met with almost an hour wait. But it was worth the wait! We tried a bunch of their seafood selections and everything tasted delectable. I highly suggest getting the chowder - delicious chunks of fresh seafood with tiny bites of veggies all perfectly joined together by the rich creamy soup base. The fisherman's stew was a scrumptious tomato based stew with mussels, shrimp, white fish, and the most tender scallops I've ever tasted. I really enjoyed the slightly smokey aftertaste of the stew as well. The beets salad with arugula, goat cheese, red onions, and vinaigrette was very refreshing - a great choice to balance out the meal. Other delightful choices to sample their super fresh mussels and scallops were the 1 pound of mussels cooked to your preferred tastes (they have a pound & pint combo deal), and the scallop linguini (also slightly smokey flavors). I loved that everything was flavorful, but not overly salted/spiced or too heavy. Highly recommend! P.S. The Mediterranean inspired restaurant next door is owned by the same people. read more

This was a block from my hotel and the staff were very accommodating. Got me sat quickly on a Friday night and food came to the table just as quick. Loved their lobster roll. Light on the mayo and the lobster tasted fresh. Roll was well done too, and the beet salad was delicious. Solid beer menu off local fare. read more

Whenever I am in town, I have to have their scallop linguine. Love the six large pieces of scallop and plentiful pasta. It is a little oily but... given I do a lot of walking while on vacation, I'll give it a pass. However be aware that it can sit in a pool of oil if that is a concern for you. Overall staff are friendly. read more

Everything about the Salt Shaker Deli was great. I had the salted cod and pork cakes with tomato chow, and it was outstanding! The chow was just the right amount of sweet and sour for the fish cakes! Everyone in our party agreed that this was our favorite dining spot for our week long visit to Nova Scotia! read more

Everything I've eaten there is fabulous and everyone is so friendly and helpful. Love the decor. My favorite dish is the cod cakes.

This was a great quick lunch during our vacation. The deli was bustling when we go there around 12pm, but they were quick to seat us. My grandmother was with us and she was in a wheelchair. The hostess was quick to make sure she was comfortable. Unfortunately the waitress was a bit pushy and looked very annoyed at my grandmother's slow pace into the restaurant. (She can walk on flat planes but it hurts her joints and she has so go very slowly.) The food itself was alright. Nothing spectacular given the price, but it is a touristy location, so I wasn't too surprised. The artichoke dip was the crowd favorite and came with amazing pita. read more

Wanted to love this place so badly. Our first meal in Lunenburg. Nice atmosphere. Only open until 8:30. We arrived at 7:30 and just felt rushed and as if we were an inconvenience. We ordered pizza for our little guy which was excellent. Fisherman's stew (Smokey tomato base), liver pate, beet salad and a sausage and penne pasta. Food was ok. Our server took our order and disappeared. The pate didn't arrive and we had to wait while it was prepared. We had to go to the bar and order drinks after the first round (because - no server). There are only 6-8 tables inside, Bar was empty and maybe 3 tables occupied outside. Unfortunately we left feeling as if we were unwelcome guests (though we still left a 20% tip). Everything felt a little off and we left more than a little disappointed, I am sad to say. read more

Amazing food, friendly service. My husband ordered the mussels with the garlic and cream sauce. Said they were some of the best mussel he has ever had. I ordered the gnocchi with artichokes,peppers and a creamy red sauce. So delicious ! Would definitely get again. Then for dessert my husband and I split the bread pudding with caramel sauce. So good. Our waitress, Danielle, was awesome!! Love this place!! read more

I stayed at the Inn (the Inn was nice) and ate at the restaurant. The people who work here are phenomenal. Some of the best crew I have experienced. The food was decent but a little expensive. I ate linguine with scallops. A little more flavour would have been nice, the pasta was not home made. At a price of $22, it should have been fresh pasta. Heck, they make their own pizza dough, why not the pasta? It would have been nice to taste a little garlic or butter or both in this dish but could not detect either in the flavour. read more

Don't stop at those restaurants closest to the harbor parking lot. Venture out up the stairs to the end of the block. Nice little place offering fish timbits! Tasty little deep fried morsels, better than fishcakes with a tangy sauce. Perfect portion size - yes I know it is listed as an appetizer.Apprently the fish chowder the others had seemingly lacked fish. I will only review my meal, let them post their own. Waitstaff got a bit harried when 2 of us switched seats as that other person had to climb out to use the restroom so I made it easier for their return by taking their seat; apparently it put the orders out of whack (seriously?). So they lost a star for that! read more
