My husband's family like this place so we stopped here for lunch. I ordered "pizzasalad" from lunch…read morespecial- a combination of pizza and salad on top, which was surprisingly good and it was exactly what I wanted. I moved the salad on top, and pizza under north was flipped over, looked like a Christmas wreath! My husband had crabster sandwich, which was loaded with crab and lobster meat. Both were pleasantly delicious and more than anything our server was very friendly and efficient. The dark inside but cozy booth tables were comfortable, and we had a wonderful lunch here.

Excellent service and the place is very nice…read more The food was good, but not amazing. I got the prime rib sandwich and the meat had a fair amount of gristle, overcooked ends, etc. I had to pull it all out, remove the bad parts (about 1/4), and then rebuild the sandwich. The buns were tough. Maybe 2 day old bread?

Insane wait on the food. Then longish wait on the check, but nothing can be as bad as the food…read morewait. We were only driving through to go to the beach. If we'd known how long it would take, we could've just gone straight to the beach and made lunch and still would've eaten earlier. The order was - Two grilled cheeses, one taco plate, and chowder. They're pretty ballsy allowing a table with young kids to wait that long. It could've been pretty disruptive had any one melted down. I still tipped, but really shouldn't have given how bad it was although most of it was probably the fault of the kitchen. If you're in a rush (keeping in mind this was Monday mid afternoon) then keep driving.

The vibe is friendly, and the whole place says "welcome!" If you can get there for live music, it's more than worth your while. Topping it all off: best steak (New York strip) in the province. Roadside Willie's is well worth the trip. Added bonus: candlepin bowling next door, so if you've had one too many to drive home, bowl yourself sober!

When I was in town for a blood donation, I decided to visit Belly Up BBQ as a way to both replenish…read moremy iron levels and try a new-to-me restaurant. There was a small surge of BBQ places in Halifax in the 2010s, and while that eventually died down, it's good to see the trend spread elsewhere to add new kinds of cuisine to other areas of the province. The interior is spacious, with a bar at one end, a section with several booths, and even more tables beyond that. The décor isn't over-the-top with southern US kitsch like many barbecue joints and could easily pass for a regular bar and grill. Normally when I try a BBQ place for a first time, I go all-in on a sampler platter to try as many of the smoked meats as possible. Alas, Belly Up is the only BBQ place that I've been to that doesn't have this option. As a result, I went with the beef brisket platter since that's more unique to Belly Up, and things like ribs and pulled pork can be found at many restaurants these days. It wasn't too too busy when I arrived and most people were already eating, so my food arrived in quick order. The brisket came as two long, thick slices, and the broad layer of fat on top told me I was getting the fatty end of the brisket. There was a bit of a smoke ring around the edges, although I didn't find that it had a prominently smoky flavour. It was spot-on for tenderness though - the meat broke apart easily, but didn't crumble from being overcooked, and each bite was tender and juicy. You get a choice of a few different sauces with your meat (which is served entirely on the side) and the chipotle sauce was savoury and not *too* sweet, but again, I'd prefer a heavier level of smokiness from the namesake pepper. You get two different sides with each entrée, so again I went with some of the more unique options - the corn fritters and the apple coleslaw. The corn fritters were very well executed - crisp on the outside, fluffy and moist on the inside, and with a hint of sweetness. The ginger and jalapeno honey sauce that came with them was also a surprise hit, with a good balance of sweetness and subtle layer of heat. I generally prefer a vinegar-based dressing for my coleslaw to cut through the rich dishes that it's often paired with, but I still enjoyed Belly Up's apple slaw. The additional crunch and sweetness of the julienned apples brought some complexity to what is often the most forgettable part of a meal, and honestly it's just nice to see a slaw that's done in-house instead of coming out of a five-gallon bucket from Sysco. Service was friendly and attentive throughout my meal. There's definitely some tweaks that Belly Up could do to polish their BBQ game, but it's a still a solid option for something different in the food scene in Truro.

ving the Best for Last at Bicycle Thief…read more We saved Bicycle Thief for last, and it ended up being one of the best meals of our Halifax trip. We started with the flash-fried calamari, a great opener served with their sun-dried tomato pesto aioli. But little did I know the standout lobster dish of the trip was hiding in the appetizer section. Their lobster and corn chowder was incredible. Seriously, so, so good. Potatoes, Vidalia onions, and double-smoked bacon added great contrast to the sweet lobster. And you know it's good when you can see that beautiful red lobster oil floating on top. It really showed that they used the lobster shells and all those flavour-packed bits to build the stock. Absolutely delicious. Next came the spaghettini ai frutti di mare, loaded with huge jumbo shrimp, fresh scallops, and mussels in a sun-dried tomato pesto. The seafood was fresh and plentiful. The linguini all'aragosta did not disappoint either. San Marzano tomatoes, cream, and Parmigiano made for a rich and decadent sauce that worked beautifully with the lobster. We also had the crab ravioli, followed by yet another lobster dish, the lobster Thermidor. This was seriously indulgent, with wild mushrooms, Gruyère, and house-made black truffle spaghettini. Rich, savoury, and packed with flavour. After all that decadence, we needed something bright to finish. The crostata al bergamotto was perfect, with a vibrant bergamot citrus curd that cut through the richness and refreshed the palate. Great seafood, incredible pasta, creative flavours, and excellent execution. We definitely saved one of the best for last.
