Evan's Seafood

Cute little restaurant overlooking the waters.
Good seafood platter, little bit over fried but super good value. Drinks are also very good.

Lobster roll is not very fresh, still has a lot of bones in it. Seefood chowder is very thin, not much meat in it. Not worth the money spent.

Low key place - fantastic food and great beer selection. We were trying to find somewhere that wasn't pretentious, and this was the perfect spot. You can sit outside and watch the bay, with the ferry crossing Halifax Bay. The food was excellent (we had the lobster roll) and the staff was very friendly. It is a walk-up order for both food and drinks, but they still cleared dishes and brought the food out when it was ready.

A fantastic place for fish and chips with great value, as a visitor from Toronto!

I came here with my family of 4 and we ordered the Small Family Pack ($70) which came with 10 large pieces of fried haddock and two large fries, the jambalaya ($20), and some soft drinks. The grand total was ~$120 including tax and tip.

It took 15-20 minutes to make our food (they are freshly fried), and I could not believe the portion sizes! The fish here were gigantic and absolutely delicious with the tartar sauce. They are a tad under seasoned, but perhaps this is deliberate to showcase the fresh flavor of the haddock. The fries were crispy and delicious as well. The overall flavor gets a bit repetitive once you’ve had too much, but the SMALL party pack could easily feed 4-5 people.

My girlfriend wanted to try the jambalaya, but I thought it was a bit average (or maybe just not for me). The most ordered items definitely seem to be the fish and chips, lobster roll, and lobster poutine!

This place could definitely benefit from adding different types of sauces for the fish and chips (maybe a curry sauce like how the brits do it), but the price-performance ratio of Evan’s Seafood is incredible! Very worth it and I’d recommend you come here to give it a try.

The patio is dog friendly. If you eat on the patio you have to order inside and you order your drinks outside. There were water bowls available for our dog.

Evan’s Seafood is my go-to place on Dartmouth waterfront.
Previously I thought their lobster poutine was my favorite. But after I tried their scallop sandwich, I have reconsidered my decision.
The scallops were fried with the right amount of time, still tender and juicy but definitely cooked. The salsa and coriander on top added to the delicious taste and made the taste of scallops standing out even more.
Would love to bring friends back.

Today we ordered takeout and were very disappointed, the potatoes were with residue and black spots, the portions were very small. We paid like in a restaurant. We used to eat there on the spot and really liked it, so we went back again, but we won't come again.

Right beside the ferry to Halifax nice views of the Halifax harbour front and the food was fantastic. You can watch the ferry’s come and go crisscrossing the harbour while enjoying the outdoor ambiance from the patio
