“We had the opportunity to have supper there last evening. Those French fries were the best I’ve had since Mike’s fries truck closed up in Glacé Bay. I had a club and couldn’t finish it…it was delicious! Hubby had chicken strips and fries and said they were excellent. We won’t be strangers!! I give it a 10/10.“

“The staff at lick-a-chick are incredible! Kind, patient, and willing to go above and beyond to support their customers :) I am so grateful for my experience and will be giving my business to them again in the future!“

“Very clean and the staff is super friendly. It’s my go to place. The new owners are awesome.“

“As a vegetarian, I really appreciate that New York Fries offers veggie-friendly options—especially their delicious veggie fries, which I absolutely love. It’s one of the few places I consistently visit just to enjoy a satisfying snack that fits my dietary preferences.
The fries are always fresh, crispy, and flavorful, and it’s great to see a place that doesn’t compromise on quality.
That said, I’d love to see even more vegetarian choices added to the menu. A few more creative toppings or plant-based sides would make the experience even better!“

“We had a staff member offer us a frosty for waiting in line, we waited about 15 minutes because of other vehicles in line, nothing crazy. The staff member was so sweet and asked our preference and gave us free small frosties, he was an older gentleman with glasses. It absolutely made our day! Staff there has always been so nice and accommodating. And the food at this particular Wendy’s have never disappointed (and we’ve never had our order wrong) thank you for the awesome service!“

“I visited this restaurant this morning with my child. An older staff member took our order. Because I didn’t clearly hear her questions about how I wanted the eggs cooked and what type of bacon and bread I preferred, I had to ask for clarification.

Unfortunately, the cold attitude and impatience she showed made both my child and me feel quite uncomfortable and saddened. I understand that restaurant staff work hard and may be under pressure, but the service we received left me disappointed with what has always been one of our family’s favorite fast-food restaurants.

My child later asked me why she was so mean to us. I didn’t know how to answer and simply said, “Maybe she was having a bad day.” I hope future customers can receive a warmer and more welcoming experience.“

“Got a whopper meal with nuggets
Whooper was great - feels more premium when it comes in a box

New fries are so much better then the old ones

Nuggets are unfortunately not as good as the ones before they changed them“

“These Chickens Are Delicious!!!

I was on a work trip in upper Nova Scotia, tired, hungry, jet-lagged and dangerously close to eating a gas station granola bar… when I spotted a KFC. What I expected: standard fried chicken. What I got: crispy maritime magic.

The chicken? Juicy, golden perfection.
The gravy? Basically therapy in liquid form.
The vibes? Canadian politeness wrapped in 11 herbs and spices. Was this Kanadian Fried Chicken?!?!

I’ve had KFC in the U.S., but this was different—gentler, wiser, like the Colonel found inner peace somewhere along the Cabot Trail. These chickens weren’t just delicious—they were emotionally healing.

Would detour again. Would consider moving. 10/10.“

“I just went through the drive thru (Oct 21 @ 6:45) and ordered peanut buster parfaits. 2 things. 1-The young man (didn’t catch his name) that was working on the drive thru, was delightful. So pleasant and bright. We have had great service before. But his demeanour was outstanding 2-highly disappointed that I was told you will no longer be carrying crushed peanuts. I hope that changes.“

“Great experience at Burger King Sydney River! The Whopper was fresh, juicy, and perfectly made—just the way it should be. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and very attentive, which made the visit even better. Service was quick, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. Definitely one of the best Burger King locations around. Highly recommended! 👍🍔“

“I'm giving this MacDonald's a 5 star review just cause the new 7th exchange MacDonald's is so bad that it's not enough to give them a 1 star, I'm giving the nearby MacDonald's 5 stars for being at least competent.“
