This is always a good deal, and always part of our summer effort to get around and eat out a bit. Good food, friendly family atmosphere, and truly Cape Breton all the way. read more

Great service! 4 of us got the all you can eat sides of mussels and seafood chowder with lobster and snow crab. Seafood chowder is a bit light, not creamy enough for our tastes. The strip loin was a bit tough and the salmon was on the dry side, a bit overcooked for our tastes. We finished off the meal with the coconut cream pie and the the strawberry rhubarb crisp. Both desserts were good, the crisp was a bit Not sure when they close but they are open at 4pm every day. We got there early so didn't have to wait, but there was a wait at 6 when we left, so be warned! Definitely a must try if you're in the area. read more

I was on a group tour and we stopped here for lunch. Thankfully, the servers were there to help us with our lobsters and crab since some of us have never eaten them from the shell. Of course the food was delicious. A bonus for me as a hockey fan was the sports bar in the back that had hockey memorabilia: jerseys, sweaters, etc., from teams across the NHL as well as local. I highly recommend it if you've never had the experience of eating shellfish this way. It was fun to see whose bucket (of shells) filled the fastest. read more

If you've never done a traditional Maritime Lobster Supper, this is your chance. Fair warning, be prepared to wait for a table to come available (after giving your name) and expect to get messy (and love doing so). There are various a la carte options, including Lobster, Crab, and even Steak (this latter seems to be the least expensive item). But if you're planning on having a couple of additional items like a cup of chowder or dessert, consider doing the full all-you-can eat chowder and mussels dinner. I did. My spouse opted for Lobster a la carte and had a taste of my chowder. The cup of chowder and a generous bowl of mussels (and an empty pail) were delivered. The chowder was flavourful and contained a fair bit of seafood, it also was not overly thickened with flour. The mussels were fresh and I enjoyed polishing off what I was served. Our server came back to see if I wanted more of either but I decided it was wiser for me to just move on to the lobster. The lobster was about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds as advertised and was already cracked. Claws off the body, tail taken off and split. Plus there was a nut cracker and a tool for getting meat out of tight places. Our server helped us into our disposable bibs and we got to work. The lobster was flavourful and we enjoyed the challenge of extracting and consuming each morsel. Dinner was finished off with dessert. My was rhubarb crumble and my spouse chose blueberry. I think mine was better, there was of course added sugar but not so much that the tartness of the rhubarb as overwhelmed. The blueberry was a little to sweetened for my taste. We fairly waddled out after supper. Fresh seafood is never cheap but I feel like we got value for our dinner dollars. read more

It's been almost 20 days in Canada so far, and this spot is still at the top of our list. Cute & homey with water view patio. Very friendly & attentive staff. This is a locals' favorite, so it has a neighborhood feel. The meal - four courses, $69 CAN: all you can eat seafood chowder and steamed mussels (which you can keep ordering at any point in the meal). Then a choice of a main- a whole lobster, or a steak, or one or two other items (we came to N.S. for the lobster, so we didn't pay attention to the rest of the choices :) the last course is a dessert with coffee or tea. The chowder, though lava hot, was delicious and warranted another serving. The mussels were outstanding- served with drawn butter and a milk pail for the shells, each serving had just under two dozen. (I had four servings; the last was a dessert) The lobster was excellent with pre-cracked claws & cut tail, and served with a small variety of salads (potato, coleslaw). Mussels were supposed to be my dessert, until I saw the homemade crumble, with ice cream if desired, so my fourth round (5th?) had some sweet ala-mode company. This was a great experience and meal. It has a clean and relaxed family restaurant feel with excellent food and local beer & cider choices. read more

One of the best Lobster Supper in Nova Scotia! Great service and fresh and delicious food. Our lobster was nicely cracked that it was easy to eat. We ordered the 4 course meal all you can eat option which includes: all you can eat steamed mussels and seafood chowder. And a main dish (lobster, snow crab, salmon or steak), dessert, oat cake and biscuits, salad, soft drink and tea/coffee. It's a lot but so delicious you won't be disappointed. Clean and updated interior, cutely decorated and spacious inside. But this place does get filled up quickly so I'd recommend showing up at 4pm if you don't want to wait. read more

we had a very disapponting meal. We waited over 20 minutes after being seated for someone to come take a drink order. It took another 30 minutes for our first course to come out and it was cold. the main course came out were cold also.

Amazing food and service! We had a great server and we had someone who wasn't our server that treated our child with kindess. She sat on the floor with her and interacted her. And EVERYONE was kind there. We would go back. The food was good. The lobster was fresh. Our sever was prompt and friendly. The place was full so food came out at a slow pace. But really the best bang for your buck here. Everything was fresh and tasty. One of the few places that offered king crab legs. So I tried them and they were delicous. And they included lovely dessert and coffee or tea. I would definately eat here again. read more

Baddeck Lobster Suppers - a plate of lobsters - Seafood Near Me - Baddeck, Nova Scotia

Went inside and was warmly greeted then sat down to have the mussels and a lobster dinner followed by a blueberry cobbler. The bread selection consisted of Scottish oatcakes and biscuit & I had to have both. Such a tender biscuit! Next our bowl of mussels was tasty and very simply steamed. It was delicious with a home-cooked feeling (simple and ungarnished), just like most of the restaurants in N.S. Our server was attentive and prompt with everything, bringing out lobster soon after we ate the last mussel. I was shown by my fiance how to get the most meat out of the shells but I was not very fast and soon most of it was cold. The sides offered a trio sampler and was healthy and fresh! Still delicious. Dessert was Ok. Could have baked it more for a crispy topping. I've tried a few good restaurants in Nova Scotia and this one was in between, not my favourite but good enough. One other plus is it's located by the lake read more

My friend and I have been travelling all through cape Breton and all she wanted was snow Crab. So when we reached baddeck she found this place. I was hesitant based on the price but she really wanted her crab. I really had high expectations based on the price alone. Let me start by saying the service was great. Friendly. Welcoming. Helpful. My friend loved her crab. I had the salmon which was a tad over cooked but good. It came with basic boiled baby potatoes that could've used some seasoning. Again our server Sarah was great. But it was just a little expensive for what you got! read more

Very fresh seafood : lobster, snow crab, mussels. The food comes out in 5 mins and they are all pre cracked for you. The restaurant gives a very homey feel, they have s cute origin story of how they got started. Located right by the water and all food locally sourced. The wait stuff are nice but the guests not so much as seems like a lot of tourists and some are just rude. Overall good experience, fresh fast seafood $32 for lobster $32 for snow crab $42 for all you can eat read more

Fresh and delicious seafood offerings. We had the lobster and salmon, both were cooked perfectly. Great service as well.

I'm giving this five stars based on the experience we had our first night there. We had a waitress who was simply wonderful -- she was attentive, she was helpful, she made great suggestions. I'm kicking myself that I don't know her name, but she was probably in her 40's-50's, short reddish brown hair and absolutely fantastic. The food was very good, but having this waitress took the whole experience to a new level. My husband had the mussels, I had the chowder, and we both had lobsters. Everything was perfectly cooked and really tasty. We had terrific lemon meringue pie for dessert. The biscuits and oatcakes that come with the meal are to die for and we appreciated having refills of both. We went back again two nights later and the food was once again great. My husband repeated his meal and I had the crab legs. They were tender and very meaty. The downside was that we had a different waitress, named April. She may have been overworked that night, but she was very inattentive. She never replenished our bread basket or water, never came back to check on our meals (we both needed more butter and had to flag another waitress to get it), and was generally kind of indifferent to waiting on us. Everyone gets a bad night, and I'm certainly not going to hold it against the restaurant, but it left us feeling very deflated after the wonderful time we'd had two nights earlier. I highly recommend this restaurant for great seafood and, if you go, look around for a waitress with short reddish-brown hair and ask to be seated in her section. It will make a huge difference in your night! read more

The wait was almost an hour and I was at the front of the line! The lobster was not drained so everything was wet and messy. Not much meat and almost tasteless. Very small portion of melted butter which only briefly stayed warm. read more

My husband and I just finished an outstanding dinner. From start to finish, everything was excellent. We had the all you can eat dinner with cedar plank salmon and lobster as the main course. Seafood chowder, mussels, homemade biscuits and oat cakes, sides of salad/coleslaw/potatoes. Dessert was rhubarb strawberry and apple crisp. I am very picky about baked goods and these were as good or better than what I can make and I am an excellent baker! I would definitely return here again and wish this restaurant was not so far from our home in San Francisco. read more

Had a great view of the water and service was warm and friendly. They give you this delightful basket of bread to start. The biscuits were melt in your mouth good as was the sweet oat "cookies". We ordered the bucket of mussels and the lobster dinner. The mussels were fresh and sweet and you could dip them in butter if you really want to. Lobster dinner was a fresh and sweet lobster that came with cucumber tomato salad, potato salad, and coleslaw. Of course we had to make room for dessert of Strawberry rhubarb crumble and lemon meringue pie. We then waddled back to the car for the drive home. Love this place and highly recommend it!! read more

I am pretty picky so 5 star rating from me is pretty unusual. This place deserves it and so much more! Great service, excellent food, and great views. A must visit in Cape Breton! I found it on TripAdviser and Yelp so decided to stop in. The food choices are Lobster, crab legs, planked cooked salmon, and steak. Dinner is all you can eat and includes chowder, mussels, desert and non alcohol drinks. I liked this place so much I ate here on the first and last days of my trip. Food was the best here than anywhere else on my trip throughout Cape Breton. Mussels were very fresh as was the chowder. The lobster and salmon were amazing however! Best salmon in my life. The desert is different every night I think but I highly recommend the fruit crisp with ice-cream (don't forget to ask for it heated though). I will definitely be back next time I visit Cape Breton! read more

The first ones into the restaurant, we had our choice of tables with excellent views. The server was exceptionally pleasant and attentive. We ordered the "all you can eat" selection which included unlimited mussels and seafood chowder along with your choice of entree, a non-alcoholic beverage and dessert for $45. The mussels were plentiful (my husband had a refill, I did not), and both of us had refill cups of the chowder which contained large pieces of fish, lobster, and shrimp (which I'm guessing is not local). My husband ordered the lobster which was cracked and cleaned for him; I ordered the snow crab, which was two clusters of decent sized legs. Dessert was strawberry rhubarb crisp (minus the ice cream which was offered) and lemon merengue pie--not too thrilled with dessert, but the dinners were great. read more

This small town dinner gets everything right. The food, the atmosphere and staff are all firing on all cylinders. This is a not to be missed outing if you happen to be in Baddeck. My son had the Atlantic Salmon because the has a shellfish allergy and the staff were great about ensuring this food was not cross-contaminated. I had the lobster which was good. For me, the best part were the endless mussel served as starter. These were the best mussels I had in a 10 day trip packed with seafood. Served in a simple butter and garlic sauce, they were perfect. There was pie for dessert, but after tasting the mussels I decided to have a second bucket of them instead. Do not be put off by the line-ups, this is a very efficient place and they manage the crowds well. read more

We visited this restaurant for dinner during our stay in Baddeck. It came highly recommended by the staff at our local inn. The interior is a large open space with simple furnishings. When our server brought over a bunch of bibs for the table, I knew they meant serious business with their seafood. We got a bucket of mussels to share, and a lobster each for the table. Their prices are high compared to elsewhere we've tried around Cape Breton. So if you're really hungry, I recommend ordering their "all you can eat" over ordering à la carte. All the seafood was very fresh; the bucket of mussels was truly a full bucket of mussels (quite the generous serving); a couple of the lobsters was a tiny bit overcooked; flavors are bland (very much "fresh catch" taste over fancy culinary flavors). Our server was very helpful. But the lady at the register had a lukewarm attitude, only gave a half-hearted smile at best when she saw the 20% tip we left with zero thanks or greetings - I hope she's doing okay & is having a better day in the future. read more
