One of the worst dining experiences I've had in years. I…read moredon't enjoy writing negative reviews, but this was unacceptable. We visited The Old Fish Factory to celebrate my nephew's 5th birthday -- a group of three adults and two small children. The restaurant was more than half empty when we arrived, yet we stood at the front for ten minutes without being acknowledged. Several staff walked by, made eye contact, and kept walking. When someone finally seated us, the table was still dirty. She apologized and offered to clean it -- I ended up wiping it myself because it was still covered in crumbs after she half heartedly wiped it down. Service continued to deteriorate from there. It took another 10 minutes to take our drink and food order. We ordered two smash burgers, a wrap, two kids' meals, and a hummus appetizer. We asked for the kids' meals to come out with the appetizer, which seemed like a straightforward request. Unfortunately, we never saw our server again. Our drinks sat visibly on the bar for over 20 minutes. We tried flagging someone down -- we were brushed off with, "I'll see if I can find her." Eventually, someone else brought the kids' meals and appetizer. We asked again about our drinks, which were still untouched at the bar. Another person -- not our server -- finally grabbed them. No one came to check in. After we finished the appetizers, we waited. And waited. The kids, now long finished, grew restless. Forty-five minutes went by without a word. Nearly 90 minutes after ordering, our mains finally arrived. The wrap was cold inside. The burgers were burnt and tasted pre-frozen. The $9 "potato salad" was boiled potatoes with a drizzle of mayo -- truly. When I expressed -- calmly -- that the experience was unacceptable, the response was silence. No apology, no adjustment to the bill, no effort to make it right. Instead, they simply handed me the machine and said, "You just have to tap," implying they weren't expecting a tip -- not because they took accountability, but because they knew they hadn't earned one. I rarely leave reviews like this, and I'm not a picky diner. But this place was disorganized, indifferent, and dismissive from start to finish. We left disappointed, $150 poorer, and without so much as a simple "sorry." Lunenburg is full of wonderful places to eat -- this just isn't one of them.

The diner itself is what you'd expect - plenty of seats and a patio. The prices were decent and the service was quick and friendly. The food however, was a different story. The coleslaw looked like cabbage floating in water. I asked the server if I could get another side of coleslaw that wasn't so watery, she brought me out a new cup but it was exactly the same. I got the haddock tips and fries; the fries were meh, not great but not horrible - the fish was decent. I also had a side of gravy (beef) and it was alright! One friend ordered a poutine, that was made with shredded cheese and not cheese curds. I'd be hard pressed to return again next time I'm in Chester.

If you go here during a busy time (they are often always busy) you may experience a little bit longer than usual wait times, but nothing too excessive.

If you read their website former dairy farmers turned lobster restaurant cooks on weekends. The location did not have live music on Sunday. You get the funny bib if you want and the lobster meal for $44 with mussels and unlimited salad and rolls or $39 without the mussels but unlimited salad and rolls. The lobster was rather corny in taste, they were not over cooked and pretty nice. The mussels they tasted like the standard grocery store ones- apparently from farmed source. The waiters and waitresses frequently visited to check on us and empty out buckets. The meal also came with two dessert options and self serve coffee/tea. The experience- was nice but pricey and a bit touristy. It was sadden that the unlimited salad bar actually lacked green salad or spinach- which I was sort of craving. They generally had a selection of mayonnaise based salads- look at my photo. But some selection- but I didn't see anything fun like crab salad. The machine auto request for 15% tip, so if you're not a fan of being told what to tip be sure to manually adjust it. Washroom is located in the main floor and the lower floor. Water was self serve- which I thought was odd since the servers were visiting frequently already.

A great spot - my other food favourite in Bridgewater, N.S…read more I take photographs for a living and I once lived near here (Bridgewater) but now I am often on the other side of the country. But I still like great tasting food and yet my lunch still can't cost me the same as a car payment. So when I'm in my little home town and I'm after some interesting food that is prepared well and by folks who know how to please a big hungry guy. This is a go to for me. In a pub I want the following and in this order / cold beer not necessarily alcoholic , good tasting food choices that tastes like the proprietor would eat there. He does ! I'm 6 feet 4" I'm after well prepared salads and I want crisp fresh fixings with choices of dressings and various protein things I can leave in or out - onions not my favourite - but hey that's me. These guys are pros - totally. The guy who owns that place knows his craft - well ! He's focused on the job - he hires good people with the same philosophy - I like this guys attitude. Never once been offered sub standard grub. Nope these guys are smart and proud of what the cook has just made only seconds before the front end staff rushed it to my table. I often have the specials - a rescent trip 5000 kms back to Bridgewater gave me an opportunity to try their fish special and then another time the pulled pork. Each with an interesting crisp side salad. Cold .5 beer - so I can still focus when I'm done. So 10/10 ? Absolutely delicious - and yet very reasonably priced. My two prime YET not only concern's. I like focused staff, smart conversation and professional pride in one's job. That's this place. The River Pub - North side of King St. near the new bridge east of Victoria Rd I've not found a better Pub in town. Now remember your thirsty and hungry - these guys can solve that.
