Well made, down home food. The beef they use is really tasty. The fish is well cooked. The plum sauce is so good! Definitely get that for your fish. Honestly, the fries aren’t my favourite... we usually get mashed potatoes or potato salad instead. It does get loud in there, some sound baffling would be a benefit. But I do enjoy the simple decor and unfussiness of it all. We go there all the time. A must stop restaurant.

Cute & charming family style eatery. Very nondescript but a great little spot. Dine-in or out on the patio with a gorgeous view! And both dining room & patio were spotless!!! Fully licensed so you can have a nice cold beer or wine with your meal. Small but very good selection of both domestic & local beers! I had the fish & chips & they were massive, delicious with a crispy light batter. Fries were home cut & cooked perfectly. I wish it came with a side of coleslaw. My wife had the lobster stew, which came with a delicious fluffy homemade tea biscuit. She liked the stew but it was just essential lobster and milk/broth. The portion was good, but for being a “stew”, it could have used some potato & carrots. We took dessert to go. I heard another client rave about the blueberry pie. It was absolutely delicious. And again, homemade crust & filling. Crust was perfect. Flaky & not too heavy. The service is great and our server was a sweetheart. I give it 9/10 only because my wife thought the lobster stew a little underwhelming. I need to try the homemade coconut cream pie when we go back!!!

Delicious local seafood and a friendly, caring staff. The view of the sea and the sounds of friends and community members talking in the dining room are both delightful. The seafood platter and lobster roll are generously portioned, too! Excellent value overall.

This is the best place that we have been in the area for fish and chips, this time we had the seafood platter for two with onion rings instead of fries on one half. Service was great, meal was done faster than expected, the pieces of fish are generous and battered just right, clams were good and I'm not a fan of clams normally, shrimp and scallops cooked to perfection, and some very good fries with a side of gravy that I didn't find amazing but my wife loved it, home made biscuit to start was awesome and for desertthe house made coconut cream pie was very rich and delicious. Great food, friendly staff and a great location.

We ate here at the beginning and the end of our vacation. We had lobster dinner with potato salad and coleslaw. Absolutely delicious. Dinner concluded with strawberry rhubarb pie.. absolutely best pastry crust ever!!! Our server (tall woman with short blonde hair and glasses) is the best!
