    Fish and chips

    Waited about 30 mins for a table and then food came within 45 ish minutes but that was fine because we were warned that's how long it would take which we appreciated. Server was nice. We sat on the patio at some cheap plastic tables but I didn't mind that either. We got the mussels as an appetizer and that was the star of the show. They were in this delicious cream sauce and so after you eat them you dip the toasted ciabatta in it, and it was SO delicious. I got the fish and chips as my main and I was very disappointed. The fish was bland and the fries are the same fries you buy in the frozen section at Costco. I know because I make these fries all of the time. I don't recommend the fish and chips. I felt like crap after. And just lacking or flavour. My bf got mary's fish sandwich and he said it was way too much bread and he didn't care for it either. Our friend got the fried clams with the Costco fries and he liked the clams but was also upset about the fries. We all agreed that next time we go we will just go for the mussels and drinks.

    lobster dinner

    i really liked this place - fresh seafood, good views and good service. first time having lobster and i was impressed - as a city girl from the GTA this place was cozy and nice. the server was very patient and came by just enough to keep us happy. downside is they don't have coffee or any hot drinks but you wouldn't really expect it from the type of establishment it is. i'd comeback if i were ever in this city again!

    Seafood chowder

    A quaint lobster shack on the wharf in Shediac . We visited off season, service was attentive and adequate as the waitress was being trained . Very quiet , nice view of the water . The seafood chowder was surprisingly good and hearty . Lobster roll was ok , Rockport rolls are better . Fries were tasty . Ceaser Bloody Mary was adequate... not as good as Quebec City . A fun touristy stop on your tour of New Brunswick .

    Mussels with sauce were delicious! Shirley temple (non alcoholic) was good! The restaurant has beautiful ocean view through window.

    I've wanted to come to this restaurant for awhile and it was definitely a huge disappointment…read more We first walked in and waited about five minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us. She was laughing at the multiple old men at the bar. When we finally got her attention her words were 'you look confused' and I was - there was no sign about where to sit. Once seated my boyfriend got the engine room burger and ceaser salad - the lettuce on the bun was literally browning. I got the turkey dinner daily special and aside from the black hair on top of my turkey, it was dry and has absolutely no flavour. We waited a really long time for a refill. The atmosphere was grungy and definitely didn't feel welcoming. The most attention we received was from the multiple flies around us and our food. I wouldn't recommend this place and definitely won't be back.

    This does not look like much from the outside: dingy building, hardly a window, you'd be forgiven…read morefor raising an eyebrow. But inside it's a largeish, busy pub with a dance floor, sports on the TVs, and - probably - lots of busy locals enjoying themselves. It's on the country pub side of things, with lots of wood, neon beer signs, that sort of thing. But the menu is big. My caesar salad was good; my chicken wings (they were on special) were just OK, a little on the thin side. Fast, efficient service. Seems full of friendly locals.
