We came in the early afternoon and it wasn't overly busy. Two servers didn't look overly interested in being there and were slow as slugs. There was a bartender mixing drinks who looked annoyed and a cook in the food truck who was the only one actually invested in what he was doing. Seating is flimsy and grinds on the concrete floors when you try to move. Tables were crammed quite close together because a musician eventually came in to set up. The space just generally looks poorly used. Our server took a long time coming over to bring us a pitcher of beer and then again to take our food order. The glassware was dirty so she apologized and brought new glasses. By the time we poured the beer, we noticed the pitcher was even filthier. Not sure if they ever wash them. The food is just ok. Nothing to write home about. Portions are on the smaller side. $14 was the Super Bowl special for a small bacon cheeseburger with nothing else, no side. $19 for fish and chips is a bit of a better deal because the fish is big but it's quite greasy. Fries were hard and stale and not really a generous portion - don't opt to pay $4 for them as a side! We watched the cook push out orders and wait around for the servers to pick them up. He'd look out trying to get their attention and seemed completely unimpressed with them. Other than brining our drinks and food, the server didn't bother to come by once in the hour + we sat at the table. When she finally came for us to pay, she seemed terrified to have to talk to a human. Overall, just a weird vibe for a place like this. This could be a great spot but it didn't leave a great first impression. Might give it one more shot next time we're in town, but we won't be ordering food. We'll see how long it takes to get an (overpriced) cocktail.

This fixture of Blue Acres has been around for longer than I've been present on this plane of…read moreexistence, so it's with deep shame that I admit that it was only this spring that I tried it for the first time. While looking for a quick lunch on a sunny Saturday, I was right behind a few other people who just got their food as I was ordering, putting me at the front of the queue. Owner and sole staff member Donna guided me through the highlights of her menu and I settled on the hamburger platter. Several minutes of wonderfully pleasant chit chat with Donna followed while I watched her prepare my food like a well-oiled machine. My food was soon ready, coming tightly packed on a heaped paper plate for me to eat in my car, although you can get it secured for a trip home or elsewhere. The crinkle cut fries, while unsurprisingly from a bag, were spot on, with shatteringly crisp exteriors and light, fluffy interiors. The burger was diner-style par excellence - steamed bun; a beefy, hand-made, griddle-cooked patty; melty cheese; sauteed onions, and some bite from mustard and relish. I should have nixed the ketchup to dial back the sweetness, but this was still a great little burger. A cup of house-made coleslaw was of the creamy variety, but still had a bit of tang to it, which helped cut through the rich meal a little bit. On my return visit, I went with the fish and chips. While it's a box that a lot of restaurants feel they have to check, and they do so poorly with from-frozen, pre-battered fish, I heard that Donna batters it in-house, so I was looking forward to trying it. This was a very good order of F&C. The batter was light and airy, and the two-piece was a good amount of food, with the pieces like the half filets that you'll see around, rather than the one gargantuan piece of fish that pubs often have for shock value. The fish was firm, but tender and flakey and I don't know if tartar sauce was forgotten or isn't offered, but I truly just enjoyed the fish on its own. Ceilidh Drive-In is among a dying breed of old school greasy spoons that do the simple stuff well, and while it took me a while to get there, it won't be long before I'm back.

Bread is toasted warm with garlic spread. This is heaven! We also ordered fish and chips as todays special for $10, again there are lots of fries, fish has a thin batter which makes it more crispy. I would recommend only have 1 order with fries, the other ones just skip it otherwise you can't finish. I'm so glad that I came here on Sunday. It closed on Monday and Tuesday, Sunday opens until 6pm but depends on when they sold out. Highly recommended, I found this place online. 1 more thing, everything is freshly made so with the lineup, you expect 15-20mins wait.

They also offer lobster poutine and burgers. The service if very friendly and COVID-19 safe. There currently in a large parking lot with a couple of picnic tables but most people seemed to eat in their cars. I did have the lobster roll, so good and fairly priced at $16 as lobster is expensive this season. We were lucky to get them as they've been running out of lobster by mid afternoon this summer. A great spot for seafood lovers.

For my 40th birthday dinner, we tried out New Glasgow's newest dining hotspot, Little Gull Bistro…read more Taking over the space of the more concisely-named The Bistro, new proprietors Tom and Willow are breathing some fresh air into the county's dining scene. Their new fall menu features bistro classics like French onion soup, oysters and steak, but gives them a more upscale structure and puts regional farmers front and centre. Little Gull's house-made pastas also feature prominently, something that will be sure to make them stand out once word spreads. Once you go fresh, pasta is never the same again! We started out our meal with a dish that's ubiquitous at up-casual restaurants - mushroom toast. Buttery mushrooms on fresh bread - what's not to like? Unless you're one of those babies that doesn't like mushrooms. Yeah, I said it! Little Gull's house-made focaccia was airy, moist and thickly cut to support its load of savoury goodness. Creme fraiche tied the decadently hearty fungi together with its lightly tart creaminess, while some generous shavings of Grana Padano added saltiness and doubled down on the umami. For my milestone meal main (MMM), I was enticed away from the pasta by one particular ingredient on one particular dish - the black garlic cream sauce on the chicken fricassee. Black garlic is garlic which has been cooked at very low temperatures for a very long time (two weeks, when I made it once), but it's well worth the wait! What you get in the end is incredibly rich, complex and of course, still recognizable as garlic. You could eat this stuff like candy, or at least I could. I'm not normally one to get the chicken dish at a restaurant, as my wife isn't big on red meat and I like to diversify our order, but this was far from a consolation prize. Every part of it was perfectly executed - ultra-crisp fingerling potatoes; tender chicken breast, whose skin was bubbly and super crisp; and that black garlic cream sauce...Amped up with some more Porter River Farms 'shrooms, it was everything I hoped it would be. Some seasonal veg rounded out the dish, and was certainly head and shoulders above your forgettable steamed/boiled veg at old school places around the county, but the aforementioned stars of the dish certainly out shone them. My wife's main was the pork cotoletta, which while Italian in its name, was very German in its execution. A bone-in cut of pork gets the schnitzel treatment and gets paired up with braised red cabbage, fingerling potatoes and apple butter. It was a hefty plate and I gladly did my husbandly duties and finished off  what my wife couldn't/was strategically leaving room for dessert. I liked that the pork was from a more flavourful cut than the traditional tenderloin that's used in schnitzel, and it was deftly cooked, as its tenderness was hardly any different from that prime cut. The breading was fantastically crisp and golden brown. I'm of two minds that the bone-in factor isn't mentioned on the menu. A little heads up would be nice, although in theory you're not just picking it up with your hands and chowing down - your knife and fork are going to let you know what you can and can't eat. On the other hand, too many people these days are babies about any meat that isn't steak that has a bone in it, so Little Gull may not want to put people off from even trying a great dish. In the end, I think they chose the right path, although I wouldn't be surprised if I just over-thought the whole situation For dessert, we went with Little Gull's apple sundae. This seasonal delight has apple ice cream that they make in-house, combined with sauteed apples, oatcakes, whipped cream and warm, salted caramel sauce that will satisfy your sweet tooth without putting you at risk of a diabetic coma. Service was easy going and attentive, with GM and co-owner Tom impressively recognizing me from social media and checking on us (as he did everyone). While my first visit to Little Gull was for a big day, their food is too damn good to wait for another special occasion, and I look forward to diving deeper into their menu in the near future!
