She did however, gave me bottled water when I asked for tap water. The gift shop ladies were a bit curt, but with the amount of people they were dealing with, I totally understand. We sat upstairs (3 levels of dining area, top one closed). The lobster roll was delicious and my SIL had a 3.25 female lobster to wrestle. Cole slaw was good, as was the Caesar salad. Daughter got a chicken wrap, which she enjoyed as well. This was a special spot for my husband and I - he is deceased and we toasted to his honor. The place was full, but we were spaced apart enough to have a pleasant time chatting and eating. I would say yes! Worth the extra side trip to get there.

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.

Since this comes up before the more busy part of Peggy's cove there's a bit less traffic with easier parking and a chance at getting a table. The views are great as you get waterside dining, but the real star of the show is the lobster! And I recommend getting the reasonably priced special that comes with a beer. We were also able to switch out our side with the seafood chowder which came with even more lobster! What makes the lobster so good here is they serve female lobsters that are rich with delicious, flavorful roe when it's in season. I went here with my family and all of our lobsters were packed with the good stuff. Safe to say our bellies were stuffed full of delicious seafood before we went off to hike away the calories at Peggy's Cove.
