Restaurants in Dartmouth

“Hands down, the best meal we have ever had!! We were so blown away by every aspect of our experience, from the food to the service. Thank you for making our night!”

“Holy smokes. Where do I start? Thanks to the entire Canteen family - and I say FAMILY purposefully as you feel the family atmosphere as soon as you arrive - for hosting our team for dinner last week. We booked out the whole restaurant and they did just what we hoped for: Maritime hospitality, wonderful, genuine service and knock-your-socks off food. The team from across Canada went bananas over the Crobster sandwich. The special welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. The guests raved all the way back across the harbour on the ferry about the wonderful meal from start to finish. It’s a lovely space that is not pretentious and puts an emphasis on fantastic food and exemplary service, with a genuine smile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Best meal I had for a long time in the portions are beautifully and big, waitress could use a little bit of etiquette.. kind of leaned over our plates and our coffees , but otherwise fantastic service fantastic meal”

“Excellent food and service!”

“Was my first order and it was so delicious! I will order again!”

“Their seafood is best, bar none!”

“The food!!!! We had the Let the chef cook for you! Best value and most delicious meal you will ever have! Having the chef come out with the waiter to explain what was in each dish / course was also fun. They took extra care because of allergies too! And of course get a fancy cocktail, you won’t regret it 😉”

“Delicious food service is always friendly. Neil is a great. I highly recommend this Portland Street jam.”

“Was there for a late lunch. Very spacious, clean and great atmosphere. Our server Emily was very friendly and enthusiastic. Ordered taquitos (excellent flavour and lots of filling. Then I had the chicken fajitas which were huge and very fresh tasting. Emily talked me into trying the Churro bites for dessert. They are stellar all around pleased with my experience. Would recommend”

“Great food, atmosphere, experience, and service! Very clean. The dry ice is a nice added touch. They were able to make a milder spicy miso soup upon request 🙏🏻🥣🍣”

“The food is so good! I found Simply Asian by chance while visiting for work, what a gem! It was so good!”

“Selby’s bunker was amazing to deal with and came to my rescue with helping me get a gift to a friend despite me being across the country ! 100% recommend this local spot , and can’t wait to be back there for a coffee next time I’m in Nova Scotia ! The selection is amazing , and they went above and beyond my filling out my card and delivering the gift to mu friend !!”

“We had dinner last night. Everything was PERFECT. The flavours, the wine, the food was hot, service was quick. Our server Anastasiia was so sweet and provided fantastic service. There was not one negative thing I could say or anything I would change. Very likely the best service and best food I have EVER had.”

“Best Turkish food in Nova Scotia!”

“I don’t do reviews much but Sushi101 was incredibly delicious with an artistic flair that just added to the experience! We actually had to admire the artistry before diving into the various sushi roll plates. I am not one to take pictures of my food but the presentation of the various plates made me give-in and I did take my phone out for a few candid shots. I know it’s rude on date night to have a phone out but it really was that incredible!! Service was wonderful and a little wait is necessary when the food is coming out that fresh and beautiful. They were busy with eat in and take out; word must be getting out!! Well done chef and team at Sushi101!!”

“Waverly Road in Dartmouth is a great place to eat .”

“Beautiful morning on the patio drinking coffee and enjoying my pain du chocolat!”

“If you are waiting to check this place out, DO NOT WAIT!!! This is you from the future: go eat at wok your way TODAY!! The food was incredible, the service is top notch and the soothing atmosphere held even when the dinner rush began to come in. I wish I’d eaten there sooner and will definitely be back”

“Stopped in for lunch on our last day in Halifax. We had the Philly cheesesteak and the Tap burger. Food was 10/10, large hearty serving, everything was cooked perfectly. Met the owner, she was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back”

“I just had to best experience with Evan’s and more specifically Manish. I ordered a large amount of take out chowder that was being transported quite a distance away. Manish was amazing. He had everything packed so well for us. He took time to write down instructions for me and explain them for me. I was blown away at how great the customer service was. The chowder was also delicious and everyone loved it. It was a very positive experience. I appreciate Manish so much for going the extra mile for us so it worked out wonderfully. Thank you so much!”

“Huge shout out to your server Kaitlin (I hope I spelt her name correctly. She really made our night. Today my husband is celebrating one year cancer free, and she treated us like family providing exquisite and delicious meals, she also sent us home with a some cherry cheese cake on the house. And to Anton ( hope I spelt his name correctly as well) for coming over to say hello and remember us from our last visit. To say that we are beyond happy would be an understatement. The service, the food and the welcoming staff truly separates this restaurant from all the others. Thanks again for making my husbands day, you really made him feel special and loved. We will be telling all our friends of the truly 5star service we received tonight. Thanks again, We will be back soon! Carrie & Ron”

“First of all......wonton nachos are AMAZING! Louisiana chicken club 👌
Service has always been top notch.... the waitress forgot our cutlery, we all had a good laugh and she jokingly told the patrons beside us that we just like to eat with our hands 🤣 seriously though, this place is fantastic! We have been here twice and both times A++”

“Good service good food always a pleasant atmosphere when we are there”

“Always love coming here. The food was delicious and the portions are quite large. So many options as a vegetarian 🌱”

“Sushi is cheaper here. My favourite is dynamite rolls. Sobeys sushi is literally the only place to get sushi within 10 min of my house. Don’t expect lots of options. They have California rolls and if that’s the only thing you like this place is perfect for you.”

“I found the service very efficient and helpful. The food is good it's always a good spot for good coffee ☕ and food and a enjoyable spot to relax.”

“I always enjoy getting donuts from this Tim Hortons branch! The Lemon Meringue Donut, Boston Cream, and Chocolate Chip Donut are always fresh and taste amazing. Everything is delicious, and you can really enjoy the quality and freshness in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, tasty donuts! 🍩”

“I’ve visited this location many times and have always had great customer service when going through the drive thru. I will note that the drive thru has a tight turn, so just be mindful if you have a larger vehicle.

My recent visit I ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was made very well and tasted great.

Will continue coming to this location.”

“I had a truly satisfying visit to McDonald's! 🍔 The food was great, hitting all the right notes for a quick and tasty meal. The service was efficient and friendly, making the experience even better. ✨ The atmosphere was pleasant and inviting. I appreciate the consistent quality here! 😊🍟”

“Went in today to this location and had a good experience. The screens were a bit grimy (as they are at all McDonald’s), but nothing crazy. The wait was only a few minutes long for a full meal and iced coffee. The breakfast wrap I got was wrapped tightly and packaged well, not loose and floppy like some other locations I’ve been to.

The staff were very friendly, the manager was having nice chats with his workers and there was even some singing happening. Very good vibes!”

“Tacoma location around 9:30pm Sunday sept 13th. Whoever the young lady was working it tonight we can call her employee of the month best food I’ve ever gotten from you guys yall know who I’m talking about just look for the pretty smile 🖤 I got a crispy chicken deluxe with a poutine and I’m gladdd I went please reward he with somethinggg give her more shifts make her a manager ! She can show the other ones a lot actually pretty sure I seen the manager standing around before doing a poor job we need more people like her that care about there jobs”

“My wife and I stayed here for 3 hours, waiting for our bus to the airport. We watched the highschool students come and go, then the junior high students do the same. Most of the students behaved very well. The staff was outstanding. The managers were particularly good. The custodian was a hero. He cleaned up all the mess without any complaint. He deserves a raise!!!”

“Hands down the very best pizza. New York style pepperoni... perfect crust, quality cheese and cooked to perfection. We've been searching years for a place this good.”

“Who doesn’t like bagels ! Very good selection of both sweet and savoury flavours along with some specialty bagels and other goodie’s. Really tasty !! I know this will be my go to place for my bagel fix ! Thanks Bagel Montreal Style !”

“Absolutely love this spot!
Amazing and fresh food. Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff, it’s my go to spot!

In particular, they make the very BEST donair I’ve ever had! Highly recommend checking out their menu, and going for the donair if you’re ready to have your mind blown!”

“Stopped in for supper last night and we were very happy with our meals and the service! Great portion sizes, and the food was delicious. We thought it was a little strange that the shrimp dip had full-size shrimp, and only three of them in it, would probably be better if they chopped up the shrimp throughout the dip, but otherwise everything was great!”

“Finally had the chance to try Maria’s. Fresh pasta (Mafaldini) had never seen this shape before, 1/4”wide or so, looked like a lasagna noodle),Rosa Sauce and the best Lemoncello cake ever! Made chicken parm with the sauce and noodles and it was excellent. I can see this being a regular stop for take home ingredients. Also want to try the Porchetta sandwich so next Friday it’s marked on the calendar!”

“Absolutely amazing donair and wonderful hospitality! You can tell they put their heart and soul into their food, and I hope this place can stay open for many years to come, for visitors all over and the locals to both enjoy. Lots of love”

“North is one of our favorite local spots. They host fun events (the drag shows are wild and I love to see that type of support in our community). We love the atmosphere, food is great, staff is always lovely and the beer is always good - in fact, their sours are beyond the best around and I really hope they start brewing them again. I was definitely a bit disappointed that they haven't offered one recently so.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back your sours! I also think their merchandise offered is more stylish then a lot of other similar places. It has a unique surf/beachy vibe that I hope they continue. What's even better is that they offer a 15% discount you can use on merch, if you show your receipt after dining in their taproom! Keep up the great work!”

“Their Veggie pizza with hot honey baked into it is the best pizza in HRM”

“Ate there for the first time last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the food & the experience.Keep up the great work ♡”

“Well it’s safe to say Eli’s is amazing. My son chose to write about Eli’s for a school persuasion assignment — and now we have to go this afternoon because he persuaded my household! Lol”

“Stopped by for a coffee last Friday evening and the place was as good as ever, honestly one of the few spots in Dartmouth where I don't mind waiting a few extra minutes for my order. Got the mocha and a slice of their carrot cake, and the cake was so fresh it tasted like it came out of the oven an hour before. The staff behind the counter recognized me from previous visits and even remembered my usual order, which is a nice touch after all these years. It gets a bit busy around six but there's a small patio out back that's perfect for unwinding after work.”

“Called in our order because we have a very specific, autistic son who has texture issues.(IYKYK). You guys took such care. One of our best meals yet! 5 stars from us, without a doubt. Thank you so much!”

“We had a delicious meal at the old port pub last Saturday evening. Steak was cooked to perfection! Waitress was lovely. Totally recommend 🫶”

They made me feel confident that they could help us provide a meal for our function that had some severe life threatening allergy modification request. Not only did they do this, they delivered the most delicious sandwiches and soup. They were so scrumptious! Thank you Three Bears Deli, I would highly recommend you a 100 times over!”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Red Swan Pizza - Dartmouth! The pizza was fresh, delicious, and loaded with quality toppings. The sesame-seed crust is unique and incredibly tasty. What really stood out was the excellent customer service from Yash. He was friendly, professional, and made sure everything was perfect. It's clear he cares about both the food and his customers. One of the best pizza spots in Dartmouth, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!”

“5 big stars for the Dill Pickle ??”

“Bread is so good but there is a big whole the entire loaf… sadly”

“Excellent and friendly service!! Love the Cheesecake!”

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. My mouth waters at the thought of their ginger beef, and the portion is always filling. The sit-down area is warm and inviting, well spaced, and has a classy open-kitchen element that keeps the whole place smelling like delicious food aromas! My usual move is to order takeout though, because the price is very fair and the quality is always there. Containers maintain their seal and they stay a reasonable temperature during transportation for those like me who HATE dealing with leaky containers in wet paper bags.

Last night I called for my ginger beef fix at 7:45, not realizing they closed at 8. The lady kindly asked if I would arrive before they closed. 10 min later I had my food in my hand, striding out the door at 7:58. And the lady was exactly as polite as the times I arrived at noon! Now that is service! And I am happy to recommend this place on that basis alone!

A gem in Burnside, 5 stars.”

“Just picked up two cleanses for myself and bf and I needed to come on here and say Emily at the Dartmouth location is absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, for someone like myself just getting into juicing for the added health benefits it nice go be able to ask to her about the various products. We will be regulars I'm sure... 🥦🍎🥬🥒🍓🫐🥝🥕🍍🍉🍋”

“Great food and service”

“I go to this Starbucks quite frequently for a coffee or bite in the mornings during the week. The staff are friendly and very energetic considering they are working early mornings and some even have a little conversation with you which makes starting the day great. I’ve never had a bad experience inside the store or drive thru. Customer service is always consistent.”

“Delicious flavour good portions. Enough for leftovers!!”

“I dont recommend even though it says i do. I very clearly ordered a large pizza on the phone. they send a guy who brings me a Extra Large pizza (common mistake). so he calls the store. he hands me the phone and the guy on the other end tells me im wrong and that I ordered an extra large.. excuse me what? im not paying 32 bucks. How are you going to tell the customer they are wrong. I speak VERY CLEAR English on the phone unlike the guy who took my order. this is ridiculous and the pizza should be free. dont tell the customer they are Wrong. ill be speaking to the owner. I used to order once a week. now they just lost a regular customer. its pretty ridiculous to get told that I wrong. you dont treat customers like that, I work in customer service and I'd be fired. they should be held accountable”

“Lunchtime $5 slice is decent. If you call in be prepared to scream into your phone or they will hang up on you.. Clubhouse and fries is poet good if you eat there. Leaving the takeout container closed will result in a soggy terrible meal.”

“Stopped by for lunch while on our way back home from NS camping trip. The wife made me haul a camper off of the highway, downtown to stop by - (I only agreed because it was Moxies) Service was a 10 star – food was a 10 star – drinks were a 10 star – this is probably the most consistent chain restaurant I have ever visited. I always review each experience because with most any restaurant, whether it be Moxies or any restaurant – each experience changes but with Moxies, it is consistent.”

“Amazing. Great prices. Well done!”

“I've eaten here many times and I'm never disappointed. The staff are always warm and friendly and the food is exactly what I expect - good! Their spanikopita topped with the feta sauce is the best I've had anywhere. All this for a very reasonable price. Opa!!”

“Delicious full body coffee & AMAZING food - nothing to see here just a little piece of HEAVEN 🥰 plus wonderful staff ! THANK YOU Two If By Sea ❤️”

“My husband and I went through the drive thru around 9:30pm and he provided his military ID for the discount, it was first time an employee thanked him for his service in 3 years. Thank you to the young man on cash for that. Also the young lady at pick up window was friendly. Lastly the food was great tonight!”
