About Seaside Shanty Restaurant

Seaside Shanty Restaurant offers a beautiful view and charming decor, featuring a barrier-free patio that allows guests to enjoy the scenery. Located at the head of Chester Basin overlooking the ocean, it is a great spot to relax. The menu highlights the lobster roll, fish and chips, halibut ceviche, and asparagus salad. The seafood chowder is praised for its new recipe and remains delightful, with one reviewer noting it was perfect and not over-seasoned. The lobster roll was especially popular, described as just delicious, and the seafood chowder and lobster roll are highly recommended. The restaurant provides blankets for outside seating, which can get chilly after sunset, and the service is generally friendly and quick, making for a good dining experience. Guests also appreciated the friendly staff and the easygoing atmosphere, perfect for a sunny day or a special celebration.

Delicious fish and chips and the lobster roll was soooo good!!! Sat out on the deck on a beautiful Saturday. The service was quick and very attentive! Definitely recommend!!!

My husband and I stopped here tonight and it did NOT disappoint. First, we dropped in around supper time with no reservation and they kindly found a table for us. We both decided on the fish and chips. My husband ordered a beer and I tried the Lighthouse & Wolfville Bubbly Rose NV. It is very good. Our food arrived quickly and the fish was very good, light, not at all greasy and so delicious as were the fries. Everything was nice and hot except for the coleslaw which wasn’t...read full review

Beautiful view, great food, friendly service in an updated venue. Our party enjoyed everything we ordered: oysters, seared tuna, Caesar salad, fish and chips, scallop risotto and the flank steak. The fish was cooked perfectly. Will come again!
