Pleasant Street Diner

me and my wife just ordered two bowls of seafood chowder. hands down the best chowder you can get on the East Coast. everybody's so friendly that works there and they go up and beyond for you. I give these guys a five star rating

Great food. Fast service.
I ordered a seafood platter. No clams available. Which is fine. Was not aware that I had a choice between one piece of fish or haddock tips. Haddock tips being a bit more food. I got scallops. Shrimp and one piece of fish. This time I only got very few fries. Compared to most either time recieveing many fries. So all in all there wasn't much food on the plate. My fault for not asking about haddock tips. I just didn't know it was an option. I feel the server maybe should have mentioned the options. But whatever. I split the meal with a friend. We weren't full as per usual when splitting this meal. I mentioned my disappointment. And was compensated with some haddock tips to take home. Which wasn't necessary as it may have been my fault for not knowing or asking for more fries and or haddock tips. I just thought I'd have to pay for more food which I didn't want to do. But I really appreciate the effort to make it right. Meant alot that they care enough to listen and fix the issue. Again. Not necessary but appreciated!
I don't recommend getting a seafood platter when clams are not available. Although everything else was amazing. If you dont get what you want. Mention it. They will fix it. Great people. Great establishment!
Will always return. One disappointing visit won't stop me from showing up or recommending this place. Love the food. They also have the best club house available in the city. No question !
Try it. It's worth sitting and waiting for 20 min for a table. !
Thanks for making it right! Very much appreciated ?

Excellent food as always. My husband and I shared the clam/haddock tips combo and there was enough for 3 people! Highly recommend.

On our visit last week, we decided to share a bowl of chowder....our server split it into two good sized bowls. It was full of fish, scallops and shrimp and so filling! You won't regret ordering it.

We always try to support local when we can . We have been living here for almost 4 years now and this place was always on our radar to try . Well we have tried on several occasions now to go and try this place out and it was always a 45 minute wait to get in . Yesterday I tried calling all day to make a reservation for dinner and these people don’t even answer their phones , maybe because my number is not a local number and they thought it was spam ? Anyways we decided to take our chances and just go to see if we could get in . 7pm on Saturday night , sign inside the doors reads take out only . Hmmm ok interesting because there were empty tables and people sitting having their meal . Buddy at the front door was ignorant and said yeah after 7 it’s take out only . I replied to him with that’s interesting but we did not know that as you guys don’t answer your phone . So I think he maybe felt bad , and said you could take that empty booth there and just pointed . (There were more than one empty booth) . We sat and noticed the table had not even been cleaned or sanitized after the last people to sit there. We waited for a waitress to bring menus and it was taking awhile so we used the menu on our phones to decide what we wanted to order . When the waitress came to take our order I pointed out that the table needed to be cleaned . She proceeded to take one of the napkins on the table and give it a quick wipe ?‍♀️?‍♀️?. Unacceptable in my books considering you still have social distancing signage up on the tables as well as plexiglass between the booths to keep the patrons safe .
Food orders were taken and brought out quickly , and was hot and tasty . (Now I know why this place is popular , the food is where it’s at , not the service or the people) When the food was brought out we still had to wait to have condiments brought to the table for the fish and fries . (Any longer and the food would have been cold) . Not once did anyone come and ask how it tasted or if we needed anything else . Hubby finished his meal ahead of me , and the waitress decided that instead of having him pass her the dishes he was done with that she would just reach over me to grab them herself . This is very rude and unacceptable to do while someone is still eating their meal .
They have a lot to learn about customer service and respect and manners for their patrons . I wonder how these people are still open for business after a first and probably last experience there . My guess is that they are only still open for business because the food is good . It’s definitely not for the customer service that’s for sure

First time visiting Pleasant Street Diner and I gotta say this is some of the best food you can get in the Halifax/Dartmouth area. The portions are huge and the service is amazing. All our food arrived quickly and hit.

The portions are ridiculously huge, tons of fish and fries, and a nice heaping scoop of coleslaw. The fish chowder was packed with seafood and was so delicious.

The coconut cream pie was also top notch, one of the best slices I've had in a while.

Me and my family's favorite spot is to grab a quick meal. The owners of this facility are extremely welcoming and make you feel like family when you walk in the door.
Lynn is the most passionate and hard-working waitress I've ever met.
Love this diner very much

Jujust moved from bc...i have found my new place tp eat...friendly staff...food is amazing every time...nothing is finer than the pleasa t street di ers

One of my favorite places to go when I'm home. Fish and chips with a side of gravy is perfect. I brought my husband here and he still talks about how simple and Delicious it was.
I gave a 4 for service because I found on all 3 occasions (I'm home for a month and we gone 3 times already) and only once the service was less than. Kinda felt like we were an obligation
Could have just been an off day too. As we all have those
