Tom's Lobster Shack

The pros:
- This Lobster Roll was absolutely delicious
- The location is world famous and picturesque
- Service was pretty fast considering how busy it was

Cons:
- not much for seating, however it's a take away and there's literally miles of sea shore to sit at
- it's a bit pricey for the portion size if I'm being honest

Overall: the pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I'd give this experience a solid 9/10

Our tour guide recommended this one since there were 4-5 similar restaurants in the area. We were glad we tried the truffle lobster roll, it was sooooo good, better than other port calls we had. Just order one share first if you are not sure , you won’t regret!

Excellent lobster, stick with their classic flavour my gf took the Asian version and it wasn’t as good. A little saucy for my taste but overall very good.
Peggy’s Cove an extraordinary place!!! Worth the trip, restaurant near the lighthouse

At $31 each, these lobster rolls are definitely not a budget lunch option, but they are incredibly delicious and the amount of filling they give you is very generous. I wish they had better seating options as it was very windy and they only have outdoor seating so it's very hard to enjoy your meal without having to worry about everything flying away.

Both the food and the view are amazing however, the service leaves a lot to be desired. While our own experience was unremarkable, we could easily overhear the young man who took our order as he dealt with further customers. Several unprofessional comments were made about race, as well as gratuity stinginess, and other subjects, when this man in the baseball cap thought customers had walked out of earshot.

Consider taking your Lobster roll to the lighthouse for the true Peggy’s Cove experience, the cuisine, at least, justifies the fought after seating.

Love their Lobster Rolls (Cajun and Naked). Be prepared to fork up --- a lot of lobster and expensive per roll as it's a tourist destination.

This was the best lobster roll I had while in Halifax! If you’re visiting Peggy’s Cove, make sure you grab a roll! You won’t regret it! The naked roll is a 12/10!!!

Best lobster roll you'll get in the Halifax area. Not inexpensive but good value for money compared to a lot of other places!
