To start out the onion rings were melt in your mouth delicious. Someone in our party had a burger that he said was really good, the chicken strips were also delicious. The salad was amazing. It was so good I asked if they sell the dressing! She had just made a fresh batch so she sold us some to take with us. They couldn't have been nicer. We were able to eat on the back patio of the brewery looking over farmland. Very relaxing after a long day on the road!

The place is great if you don't mind the incline of the hill you have to walk/drive up to enter their business. Been going there for years. Decent accessible seating is available inside but my preferred option is to take it to go almost every single time. The place is normally either packed or nearly empty but their food is always good.

We chose the 2 specials of the day-artisan grilled cheese and chicken sausage. We ordered both and split them. Both were tasty. The red pepper jam was great on the grilled cheese sandwich-post and gooey. The chicken sausage made locally without antibiotics, etc was very flavorful! Next door is the bar-Marco makes great margaritas but we chose a local beer from Copper Bottom a floral pilsner. Tasty On the property they have houseboats and floating wine barrels that you can stay overnight, AC, and TVs included. A cute new place we met people staying in a local campground that brought their boats over for a beverage and snack. Would love to come back and take advantage of the overnight options!

It's not easy being a pizza place in Pictou County, and all the more so when the granddaddy of the…read morecounty's famous style of pizza is a literal stone's throw away. At first glance, Andre's dine-in menu is broader than that of your standard takeout joint, with over a dozen pasta options and several different wraps and salads, on top of the usual assortment of burgers, fryer fare and of course, pizza, that you'd expect. My wife and I first came by for an easy mid-week lunch while in the midst of labourious home renos. We didn't want to cook and needed out of the house. Knowing that I'd save the pizza experience for another time, I went for the donair sub. It had a decent amount of meat, although I couldn't get a read on the exact flavour of it, due to a hefty slathering of donair sauce. That said, Andre's deserves a tip of the cap for making both meat and sauce in-house, as opposed to much of their competition in the area which is often mediocre Bonte/Mr. Donair product. There was lots of melty mozza, and the bun was crisp from its time in the oven, so overall it was a very good iteration of this hot mess of a sandwich! My wife snagged an Andre's Salad, which comes with romaine, red onion, red peppers, zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, feta and parm. It's a subtle upgrade from your run-of-the mill garden salad with a better variety of flavours, and I eagerly partook to balance out the less healthy ingredients of my sub. Our return visit saw us getting takeout, and this time it had to be pizza! We took a pass on their respectable Friday night deal of two large pizzas for ~$36 due to an already full fridge and that being a lot of pizza for two people, and went with a single XL combination, plus the good ol' Andre's Salad for more significant veg content. The wait was quite good for a Friday night at around 25 minutes, although I was only placing the order at 7pm, so a little past dinner time for many families. Upon opening the pizza box, it was noticeably different, as although Pictou County-style pizza is known for having some browning of the cheese that covers all the toppings, Andre's was completely browned. There was even some crisp bits of cheese that had shattered a bit! While daintier taste buds may not be a fan, I'm all for this additional flavour and texture! Another distinguishing feature of Andre's pie is the crust - it's much thinner than that of other Pictou County-style places. That's not to say it's a thin crust, it just isn't a half-inch of dense dough. I assume most places do that to support the generous amount of toppings and cheese that are one of the defining features of the area's pizza, but Andre's thinner crust works just as well. Don't get me wrong, it's not a demonstrably great crust - the crust is dense and bready, with no airiness, and little-to-no leopard-spotting on the bottom crust and cornicione. Unfortunately, like all other Pictou County pizza places, they've got the toppings and sauce down pat, but these are not well-crafted crusts, just sauce and cheese delivery vessels. Speaking of the sauce, being a Pictou County-style place, the brown sauce was bold and peppery with a slightly stronger flavour than others I've had here. Crust criticisms aside, I'm a definite Andre's pizza fan! Being in the pizza game in Pictou County may not be easy, but there's a reason why Andre's Pizza has been at it for decades.

This is a cool place if you're into any kind of rock music of the past 40 years. As you walk in,…read moreyou will notice the old jukebox in the back and the nice bar. But when you sit, you will be staring at your table for quite a while. What you will be looking at is all kinds of ticket stubs for concerts from a who's who of rock bands and artists of the 60s through today. Think Black Sabbath, David Bowie, U2, etc. Then, on the walls, a myriad of signed albums, from the same type of bands. Clearly, the owner of this place is a rock fan, and also spent a pile of money on this memorabilia! All this stuff gives this place a really cool vibe. The food is elevated pub-type fare. My colleague's club sandwich was on a kaiser type roll and looked excellent. My beef dip sandwich had a very flavourful au jus accompanying it and the side caesar salad was excellent. My only complaint is that it does take a bit of time to get your food here, which happened both times I had lunch. Nevertheless, the food is good, the vibe is cool, so I'd happily return.

They post their soup schedule on their Facebook every week, and we lucked out because my wife has a nostalgic soft-spot for their soup of the day that day, corn chowder. Soups come with a biscuit or roll, and I doubled down on biscuits. The corn chowder was still piping hot after taking everything home and getting set up to eat. The soup was was creamy and smooth, with pops of sweetness and texture from the corn. The biscuits were buttery and lightly flaky, and while the exterior was a bit more firm and roll-like than a typical biscuit, it didn't detract from it. I had also picked up a loaf of whole wheat bread, which was light, airy and moist - great for sandwiches or on its own! On a return visit, it was another batch of soups - the daily special of clam chowder and the alway available, tomato cheddar. The clam chowder was thick and chock full of bits of clam and perfectly bite-size chunks of potato. I went for the roll this time, and it was light, smooth and great for dipping. My wife's tomato cheddar was a great, simple soup. The namesake flavours were front and centre and it had a silky mouthfeel from the added fat of the cheese, but the sauce didn't break and have actual pools of grease. For dessert, I bought a couple of their iced cinnamon rolls. They were light and airy - definitely head and shoulders above the grocery store ones - and a quick run through the microwave softened that butter/cinnamon/sugar mix wonderfully, without completely liquifying the icing.
