The other half went to their other location in Lantz which I didn't know existed 🤦🏼. The food was very good and I enjoyed the decor. We'll definitely be back.“

“I recently tried the Swiss Chelt Rotisserie Chicken, and it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly cooked—juicy and tender on the inside, with a crispy, flavorful skin that added just the right amount of crunch. The seasoning was spot on, giving the meat a savory and delicious taste without being overpowering.

The fries were equally impressive, hot and crispy, with a satisfying golden-brown exterior. They complemented the chicken well, making for a great overall meal. I left feeling full and satisfied, and I’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for a flavorful and hearty meal!“

“This was my first time at The Cannery, Bedford Row in downtown Halifax. I was greeted by friendly staff and my first thought was of the cleanliness of the restaurant and the staff were sharply dressed. The ambiance was chic and it was decorated in classy high end furnishings. I choose a both, yet still had a great view of Halifax harbour. The Braised Short Rib Pappardelle was cooked flawlessly and the sauce was tasty delicious. I look forward to the steak on my next visit. Mixologist Abi is amazing and pours the best tasting cocktails the city has to offer. His drinks please both the eye and the taste buds as he has a few tricks up his sleeve. Thanks again to everyone at The Cannery for a tasty meal and tasty drinks. See you all again soon. Cheers“

“Great food, atmosphere & service“

“Johnny’s Snack Bar is right at the top of my list of favourite places to eat in Halifax. It’s a true North End gem that’s been family run for over 40 years ! You can feel the love in every part of it. The food is consistently perfection, no matter what you order. From old school flat top burgers and breakfasts to daily specials, pork chops, fried chicken, and their incredible pan-fried haddock, everything is done right, every time.

The atmosphere is classic old school diner feel & always busy. Chris and Tasso, along with their sweet and hardworking parents, make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The service is genuine, the portions are generous, and the prices are more than fair.

Although street parking for Johnny’s has been terribly affected by City installing of bike lanes, you can find parking at the forum.

This place has it all, comfort, value, flavour, and heart. If you haven’t been, go. You’ll understand why it’s such a beloved local spot.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I stopped by Harvey’s Dartmouth (100 Main St.) for lunch and ordered an Angus burger combo through mobile order for takeout, but then decided to dine in. While I was looking around for a tray, Sukhpreet noticed me, even though she was busy, and kindly came over to help. She gave me a tray right away and even checked in to ask how my burger was.

What really stood out was her courtesy — she came back later and offered me the option to choose between apple pie and blueberry pie, which was such a thoughtful touch. Her friendliness and attention made my experience here really positive. Thank you, Sukhpreet, for going above and beyond!“

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

“Have gone here 3 time so far. New years, Fabulously rich and a random night. Great service, friendly and fast. Only downfall if they stop serving food at 9 and their food is very good. Always have a good time will continue to go on occasion.“

“Worst hours of a sports bar in Canada
Stanley cup playoffs start at 9 pm
Guess what time this Sports bar closes ! 9pm
Staff is awesome ! Best around !
A sports bar that closes before games even start ….not cool“

“Had a deadly time with the b’ys“

“The OG sandwich is great! some great music“

“The best! Such a rad venue!“

“Amazing food and service! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for great quality pub-style food! Will 100% be back!“

“You guys really need to step it up when it comes to consistency. I'm so tired of paying good money for food and being disappointed. You used to be my go to for everything and I keep trying and hoping that things have improved but one week I'll get a large donair and it's a large and tastes good, next week ill order a large donair and get a small burnt one. same thing with donair subs. I just paid $15 for a large donair, it was tiny and the sauce on it taste like milk not at all like donair sauce. Done with spending good money and getting something different every time I won't try again that's for sure.“

“Peaches N Tea gave the drink list a fruity twist making it the perfect match for my meal and super refreshing.“

“friendly staff , topped the way you like it“

“Staff was very friendly! Food was Fast and amazing.“

“awesome food. bad internet service on delivery. they will ghost your food and not give you food or money back after they fail.“

“The Lion’s Head is one of my go-to spots in the North End when I want a chill, friendly vibe. The rooftop patio is the real star — perfect for soaking up the sun.

Service is always quick and friendly, even when it’s busy, and having lots of free parking nearby makes it an easy choice. It’s also a great spot for larger groups — plenty of space and a lively atmosphere without feeling cramped.

Food-wise, it’s mostly solid with the occasional standout. The sweet potato fries, burger, salad, mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap with soup I tried once as a feature were all great. The wings were just okay — not bad, but not a must-order for me.

All in all, a fun neighborhood pub with a killer patio, reliable food, and staff who make you feel welcome.“

“I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough“

“Group of work crew got together for a meal and then a Moose game on February 29th and not only enjoyed the food, the layout of the restaurant, but the waiter (Brandon) was amazing and made the whole experience of our first visit the best experience and we'll definitely return.“
