“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“

“Wasn't sure what to expect looking at this restaurant from the outside, but it has a great atmosphere, attentive staff, and delicious food! We had the club sandwich, Whiskey BBQ burger, and spinach dip. It was so good! We will definitely be back.“

“We had excellent service on Canada Day 2024 with our friendly waitress Pal. She was very helpful and kept checking on our party of 12 ages from 3 to 80, to make sure everyone had what they wanted. She put treats on the Robot and had the children go get their treats off the tray on it, which was a highlight for them. We could tell she enjoys waitressing because she does it to perfection. The food was delicious and plated appetizingly, too!“

“What an amazing experience tonight. It was an average night out at a family restaurant, but having Devan as our server really turned our night into something amazing! He was attentive, fun, great listener and very engaged with our visit. We are grateful you had our table!“

“Great pub food and atmosphere. Fiona was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Great substitutions for fries available with sandwiches. Abundance of choices for beer and cocktails.

Vegetarian options: The mushroom burger was completely vegan, I believe. There was a delicious beet and grapefruit salad and very tasty brussels sprouts.“

“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.“

“First time there but will definitely coming back!“

“Amazing live music atmosphere!“

“The sandwiches here are fantastic and the bread is so fresh! We went yesterday after the teacher rally and they were closed but when they saw us checking out their hours they reopened for us! We were so grateful!“

“We had a busy morning at Costco and home Depot and we were very hungry. We could see this Harveys from the Costco parking lot so we were off. The young lady that waited on us was so friendly and happy it made us feel relaxed and we had a great lunch.
Thank you for the great service Kyleigh. Keep smiling. 😀“

“Friendly staff (with great memory;).
Excellent weekend brunch menu.
Spacious; I never waited for seating.
The Eggs Benedict with the Citrus Salad is the best I have ever eaten.
I have tried, in the past, to pick a different brunch menu offer, but I always come back to this choice, although the Sunshine Salad is also great! (Nice to have a 5-star backup choice ;)“

“The best! Such a rad venue!“

“friendly staff , topped the way you like it“

“I always loved Montana’s in Ottawa but never tried it in Halifax. I came in for my first time with my girlfriend and a buddy in Halifax and was pleasantly surprised. Same great vibe and fun atmosphere of Montana’s and a table to scribble on. Sophie served us and was so kind and helpful! She described the menu well and suggested some great options. The food came quick and was hot and delicious. Great experience and great service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The OG sandwich is great! some great music“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“I went for the wing night. I was a little suspicious with what a wing night offering can be. The wings ended up being the best and curiously prepared. A mix of bartered and fried, but mostly clean and very good and minimally breaded. Delicious, generous and as always the interior is a clean and beautiful space. The go-to for wing night in Halifax.“
