After moving back to the county, a return to Appleseed was inevitable. We swung by for a late…read morelunch, after the hordes of kids amped up from the arcade next door had mostly left. Now that I'm back on the East Coast, I can both trust fish at restaurants more and pay less for it, so I went with the salt cod fish cakes ($17). You know how they say your plate should have lots of different colours of food? Well this was NOT that. While this meal won't win any awards from the Canada Food Guide, it did well by my taste buds. The fish cakes themselves were loosely packed and had a pleasant punch of salty fish, and the green tomato chow brought a contrast of sweet and tangy to the mix. The side of beans had a smattering of what appeared to be bacon in it, and were just the right doneness - not chalky or mushy. Thumbs up! The corn beef hash was a bit greasy, but it was delicious - crisp bits of beef and potato with sauteed onions - it's hard to go wrong here. My wife went for the diner staple, meatloaf ($17). After this meal it became her go-to dish at Appleseed, and I can see why. The generous slab of meatloaf is light and moist, and a slathering of mushroom and onion gravy makes it even more hearty. Ultra-smooth whipped potatoes are a classic pairing, done picture perfect. A medley of veg likely came out of a massive freezer bag, and while a diner fixture, it's one that could be easily replaced with any sort of seasonal veg that is prepared in a better manner than steaming. On our return, I went with the hot chicken sandwich ($17). The roasted chicken was moist and tender, although a little sparse. A hearty slathering of gravy was good, and not too salty. I really appreciated the thick, quality bread that stood up well against the onslaught of gravy. As always, their shoestring fries were spot on. I doubled down on diner decadence and got a strawberry milkshake ($6.50) to drink. Appleseed gets a tip of my cap for using the classic milkshake glass, plus topping it with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Further bonus points for the extra bit of milkshake coming in the aluminum cup it was mixed in. It was a thick, tasty treat. I still wish Appleseed was in a better location with an interior that called back more to its cozy diner peers rather than strip mall industrial chic, but you can't win 'em all. It's still not easy to get more creative, casual food in Pictou County, so Appleseed is definitely an asset to the local food scene.

Well, maybe the homemade lemon meringue pie slice just wasn't tangy enough for our taste. But that aside, there's not much that didn't leave us smiling after a recent lunch-time visit. The outside deck is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy your beer and sandwich while watching the boats and herons (and some guy who appeared to be trying to fish using a coat hanger). The cheeseburger, BLT and haddock and chips were tasty, and they also served up Cokes, a welcome sight for us in a Pepsi-dominated country. Our waitress couldn't have been nicer, and the patron around us all seemed cheerful and happy to chat. All together it made for a very congenial dining experience.

This place is located on the main stretch of the vert touristy and BUSY stretch in Tatamagouche. It's small - about a dozen tables - so expect to wait if you're coming during the obvious hours (lunch/supper). The three of us got the last table for 4 but it was squishy because the place was packed! Service is friendly and quick! We honestly came specifically for the chowder and didn't try anything else because we all planned a visit to the chocolate shop, the brewery and the winery. The soup was a really good sized portion for $14 and it was creamy - something that's often lacking when you order chowder. It comes with two pieces of baguette which is great to dip into the chowder. The only complaint would be is that the chowder really lacks the staples as advertised. We did find LOTS of shrimp in each bowl, but one of us got one rubbery scallop in our bowl where the other two had none. The fish was also very difficult to catch as it seemed very little made it into the bowls. Despite it being very busy, the service was prompt and the food came out fairly quickly. There was an event going on at the winery up the highway so it is possible the menu was rushed that day. Overall, for the price, I really don't have too much to complain about but it would be nice to find more fish in the chowder. Lots of street parking available and they have an extensive menu. Google/Facebook say closed Sundays, but call ahead because we came on a Sunday in the middle of November and they were definitely open. Worth a shot and the rest of the menu looked like it had some great options.

The waiting time after the order is about 40 to 45 minutes. there are two people next to us, ordered after us got their food first, I noticed they ordered fish chowders as well. It's a chowder in a medium size blue colour bowl. we got our other food first then after a while we got the chowder in a salad bowl, same bowl as our Caesar salad. It's a triangle shaped bowl. I thought they may run out of regular chowder bowl so I didn't say anything, then later on I noticed other customers got their chowder in a regular chowder bowl, with bread and butter. I didn't get butter. I didn't say anything because I don't want to my kids feel because we are only Asian people there so they gave us a salad bowl for a soup dish, maybe they think we can't tell the difference. Honestly I don't think my kids and husband even notice that. Back to food, the chowder is ok, not Good enough to name the restaurant based on this dish. Lack of flavour and fish and shrimp are tough, lots of potatoes not much of fish. I found one small scallops and one shrimp in the bowl. I don't think there is lobster meat in there. Maybe they think we are tourists but we go to Tatamagouche quite often because we have our camper near by about 10 minutes drive away. Probably won't be back, if we do, next time I got a special bowl or plate I will sure to ask Why.

Might be different if it were super busy. Everyone there was uber nice and friendly and had a smile for us. We sat outside - it was a blustery day, and were offered to have more of the clear sheeting pulled down if it was too much. We were protected enough from the wind, so we were good. And let me tell you, best best best clam chowder I have had in years. Diced clams (loaded) potatoes (diced smaller than the clams) celery and spiced perfectly. The liquid was full of flavour, not thick and creamy like you find most places, more soup like and delicious. The garlic toast was good as well. The lemonade was not sickeningly sweet. Perfect 16 oz bowl of chowder and drink to boot.

People were piling in even after the 8:00 "closing time" but everyone was greeted with a smile and seated. I had a BLT and onion rings. Hubby had the fish and chips. Fish was hand battered and not at all greasy or fishy tasting. Lemon meringue pie looked mighty tempting, but I resisted (barely). Had to save room for s'mores!
