July 2024. Fast and friendly service after whale watching. Had fish tacos and fish & chips. Fries and sweet potato fries were great. New name Chet Wick’s.

Delicious food at a good price!

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian burger was absolutely delicious! Flavourful and the dill hummus is a game changer.

One of the best veggie burgers I've had in a long time. They had some other veggies options as well, which isn't common in rural NS!

The fish tacos are so delicious. The scallop lobster and haddock perfectly cooked in a batter topped off with a spicy mayo on a bed of coleslaw tucked into a crispy Pita. 100/10. They were so delicious. I went back for seconds the next day.

Perfect place to stop and eat after whale watching. My husband ordered the fish tacos, while I had the deep-fried fish fritters. We were hungry, and both were delicious!

We each ordered 2 dishes 30 minutes before closing time- the cook commented, “you must be hungry!” We were, and the food was utterly fresh and delicious. Beet salad, bean burger, chowder- garnished and so tasty. We are now wrapping up 2 weeks of vacation, with many more meals to compare, and this meal remains the standout.

I've given this 2 star because at least it looked clean, that's about it. My food was like sliced meat/sludge in a cheap roll, coffee was not available, had o go next door to the shop to get that. The only low point of our trip to the island. Next time I buy sandwich and coffee and sit by the quay. Sorry but that's just how it was.

Probably the worst cafe we have been in whilst in Canada. No coffee, you have to go to the shop for that... My food was like liquid sludge... Don't waste your time, buy sandwich and coffee next door sit on the beautiful quay side.

It used to be a good spot, in the past year food here has gone to the dogs. Small portions for a very touristy price and not very tasty fish and chips especially for a fishing community.

Their chowder was absolutely delicious. Their fish and chips were the best I've ever had - I usually find the fish a bit bland in fish and chips - just a vessel for tartar sauce, but here it was delicious even without tartar sauce.

Expected better. Hopefully as tourist season picks up things will improve. Had heard good things about this place.. disappointed.

Worst Tourist Trap! Was working in the area and looked for a place to eat. Saw the pics on Google and reviews. Went in for lunch break and the place was pretty full. Ordered and was told that the meat pie would take 15 minutes. I said that’s fine as long as it was worth the wait. I was told it would be. I had left and went to the restroom. I came back and waited a total of 30 minutes for a meat pie and fries. While waiting, a woman came in twice and asked how much longer her order would be, as she needed to get to her whale watching tour. By the time my food was ready I couldn’t even eat in - Had to do a takeout and didn’t see the food until I was down the road. $10 meat pie that was the size of a McDonald’s apple pie. It had about 10 small pieces of meat - $1 a chunk! The $6 small fries were the size of McDonald’s kids meal and were cold. Not even close to the pictures in Posts. I even tipped 15%. I returned later in the day to discuss the extreme lack of food for $24. I was polite and to the point. The person who served me was the only one in the place. They were polite and apologized about my experience and stated that it was the owners discretion to serve such small portions. I told them I came in for a “working man’s meal, not a tourists snack”. I love supporting local businesses with hard working staff, which they are. I will not support a local riff off joint. Never thought I would be so dissatisfied with a meal in my life. I guess that’s what you get - “Screwed at the Drive Through!” Better off grabbing a pre-made at the store next time!

It was the only gig on town toward end of season, but food was great, people friendly.
