“Went with my wife on a Sunday evening and got a table right away. Service was super quick, deep fried pepperoni appetizer in under 5 minutes, and our mains arrived before we were done with it. The big breakfast and haddock burger were both delicious, like a home-cooked meal. Fries with dill sauce were a standout. Generous portions and great value!”

“It's been a long time since I went to a Pub for a meal. Last time was 20 odd years ago, when Chicken wings were all the rage. The Foc'sle is way beyond that. The chef there really knows his business. I had a Seafood Risotto, my wife, Stuffed Haddock. Both plates were delicious, with enough to fill you up, but not so much that you wouldn't want desert. I enjoyed every bite. I will say that it's the first time I ever had an ice cold stout. It's not bad. Great place to eat. Very much recommended.”

“Salt Box Brewery is a gem. The staff truly make this place what it is. Every time we’ve been here, they’re personable, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It never feels rushed or transactional… it feels like coming home. The first hello to the last pour, you can tell they care, and man this makes all the difference. It’s the kind of place you can settle into, laugh a little longer, and forget about the clock. A must visit spot that never disappoints.We love each visit!”

“A little on the small side for dining in, unless the weather is nice and you can sit outside. The food and service are great!

“Was just into this subway this morning and the person working was AMAZING! They were so friendly and so helpful when deciding what sandwiches etc we wanted. They were so polite and had the best smile the whole time we were there ordering. Subway is subway is subway. The food is the same no matter which one you go to, it’s just the freshness, cleanliness and employees attitudes that differ. I will 100% be back to this subway SOLELY because of this employee! That said, the store was also super clean and the meat, veggies etc were all fresh and looked super good. Very much enjoyed the whole experience. They made my Wednesday morning that much better…and filled my tummy!”

“Was here for the first time tonight. Outstanding service from Evan, Heather & the rest of the staff. Sat down with Ron and really appreciate his perspective on how to run a business in the right way. Will be back for sure, highly recommend! Keep up the good work.”

“What a pleasant surprise this place was. Great food and service. Came in last night at 6:30 and it was close to closing time but they found us a table on a busy night and we were out of there by 7. Highly recommend the hot turkey sandwich and the hand cut fries were incredible.”
