“Mixed feelings about this spot! 🍜 While the manager was super attentive to my celiac needs, ensuring a safe, gluten-free meal, the overall service fell a bit short. Waited a while for my ramen setup after my food was brought out. Delicious food though, and no celiac reaction to the food, I'd feel safe eating here again.“

“A sincere thank you to the wonderful staff at Moxie's Grill & Bar (Nova Centre location). We booked a reservation for seven people over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The staff were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and meticulous about our dietary needs (our group is entirely vegan with additional allergies). The service was excellent, the food was impeccable, and our server (Nikita W.) was so kind and attentive during our visit. I appreciate her talent and professionalism. She is an asset in such a demanding industry. We will definitely return to this location in the future. Much love and gratitude to the staff at Moxie's Grill & Bar. You have exceeded our expectations. Kind regards, -C.R. MacDonald“

“Wonderful Blues House hosting Morgan Davis! Mom and Son night out! Great atmosphere, greater music!“

“Came tor Trivia night and ordered quesidila. Little pricey for food but I guess fairly standard these days, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Iverall decent experience. Typical pub fair and vibe for the most part. Service was decent, food came out quite fast“

“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.“

“Our server Sammy was so pleasant and attentive, she definitely made our experience nicer. The food was delicious as always, I never have a complaint when it comes to the service and food. The day we were in Im guessing the a/c must have been broken as it was very warm and uncomfortable. We left after our meal which was a shame because we would have stayed for dessert and more. It didn't help that it was a hot day as is. Aside from the a/c it was wonderful. Hopefully that gets situated sooner than later.“

“Stopped in for lunch on our last day in Halifax. We had the Philly cheesesteak and the Tap burger. Food was 10/10, large hearty serving, everything was cooked perfectly. Met the owner, she was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back“

“Waverly Road in Dartmouth is a great place to eat .“

“great food, service and wonderful staff“

“I’ve been going to TBR for years now, and it’s the definition of a true local haunt—packed with regulars and soon-to-be regulars every week. I first showed up for Friday night karaoke, just looking for something fun with a few neighbors, and ended up finding a place to hang my hat.

No frills, no pretension—just a classic community bar. Everyone knows everyone, and if you don’t, give it a night—you will. The room’s full of characters from all walks of life, like a barroom sitcom where somehow it all works. There’s a seat for anyone who walks in.

Karaoke is what they’re known for, and for good reason. Donna’s been running the show for nearly two decades and she is the party. The food’s consistently solid, the prices are more than fair, and the staff know exactly what they’re doing.

Do yourself a favor—go once. You’ll walk out wondering how it didn’t become “your bar” sooner.“

“Stopped by for lunch while on our way back home from NS camping trip. The wife made me haul a camper off of the highway, downtown to stop by - (I only agreed because it was Moxies) Service was a 10 star – food was a 10 star – drinks were a 10 star – this is probably the most consistent chain restaurant I have ever visited. I always review each experience because with most any restaurant, whether it be Moxies or any restaurant – each experience changes but with Moxies, it is consistent.“

“the food and as well the staff are fantastic. Great entertainment. very friendly environment. A very safe place to go for the gay community.“

“Ladies and gentlemen…I am here to advocate… for absolute, undeniable greatness.

Last night, I didn’t just dine—I experienced domination. Total, unapologetic, five-star supremacy at St. Louis Bar and Grill.

Let me tell you something about that kitchen staff… they are not cooks. They are elite performers. Precision. Timing. Execution. Every single plate that came out of that kitchen hit harder than a mack truck. Flavours layered with the kind of intensity that demands your attention and refuses to let go. They didn’t just meet expectations—they conquered them.

And then… there’s Amelia behind the bar.

Amelia is not just a bartender—Amelia is the undisputed champion of hospitality. The poise, the charisma, the absolute command of her craft. Drinks delivered with perfection, personality, and just the right amount of flair. She doesn’t serve beverages—she orchestrates experiences.

This isn’t just a bar and grill. This is a powerhouse. A dynasty. A place where excellence isn’t hoped for—it’s guaranteed.

Five stars? No, no, no… that doesn’t even begin to cover it. This is greatness on a level that the competition can’t even comprehend.

And that… is not a prediction. That’s a spoiler.“

“Went for the Saturday night special. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection for all of us in our group.
Sarah M was our server, very pleasant and efficient.
We are a group of 6 and like to come to the pub for dinner every couple of weeks. We always enjoy ourselves“
