Boondocks Restaurant

If you're looking for a place to eat with kids, this is it the one! They have a shelf with books available for reading and playing. There's also an activity where children have to find “rubber duckies” hidden in the restaurant. I found it a very pleasant place and the food was delicious.

The server was nice and the atmosphere was great. Dead at 5pm, which I found odd. Had fish and chips and it was so greasy the paper was see through by the time I was done, probably should have drained more. Overall it was ok, I will be back at some point, simply because there are no options in the Passage, since Warf Wraps closed up years ago.

Lovely food, lovely service. We went here after a trip to the Shearwater Aviation Museum and were looking for something that would serve Atlantic Canada-esque food. Both food and service did not disappoint. Restaurant wasn't busy when we went.

I am allergic to gluten and told the waitress. She had no clue which things had gluten and which did not. Said the fries should be ok as they are supposed to be gluten free as they have a gluten free putine. Throat and chest swelled right after having the fries. Do not recommend this restaurant to anyone with a gluten allergy. Food was also very greasy and the fish was not fresh it was frozen and then battered. A waste of money for the quality and lack of care of this restaurant that they even advertise on the menu that they take special care cause they don't.

Tried this spot in Eastern Passage after hearing good things and ordered the Blackened Haddock. Honestly, the portion was small and not as fresh as expected—especially for Atlantic Canada where seafood should shine. That said, the location on the wharf is excellent, with good service, nice ambiance, and a huge waterfront patio perfect for summer evenings with a few beers. There are definitely hidden gems in Halifax and Dartmouth that serve better seafood, but this place scores high on atmosphere of a mini fishing village on the wharf.

Ended up getting garlic fingers and the cheese was literally pushed out of the middle so there was no cheese in the centre of the whole garlic fingers called to complain and he said that’s how they always make it never in my life have I seen a pizza shop pull one like that

Situated in a quaint little fishing village on the Eastern passage, lots of walking and interesting shops and boardwalk. Makes for great picture opportunities.

Sit out on the patio to enjoy the view while supping on shrimp and mussels. Do yourself a favour and spend the extra for the biscuits and garlic butter. The sticky toffee pudding feels like a cozy treat grandma used to make. Also, the BoonMist cocktail is the adult version of Moon Mist ice cream. It’s a whimsical way to get hammered!
