Came in at around 11 am on sunday. Place was empty except myself. Waitress was friendly. Decor was good and modern with photos of various landmarks and boats from Halifax. The place is actually named after an intersection there. Had the mini lobster rolls. Came on toasted and buttered bread with coleslaw. The portion size was small for my liking but not going to deduct stars for that. The store made potato chips were very crunchy and good as well.

The large donair is anything but large. The taste is great. The donair poutine was mediocre at best. Fries had a strange taste.

Excellent food. Small on space but great offerings, well prepared and presented dishes. Best donairs outside Halifax. Pizza passed the taste test too.Well worth a visit.

For 20 years I have told people I wish I could taste as great a donair as I had when I lived in Bedford NS. I never thought I would get that experience again. I can't believe I have found this place in Calgary. It tastes exactly as I remember it. I am so excited!!!

Attended on Saturday for an east coast kitchen party after having been several times before. The music and entertainment was great, good East Coast beer selection and have really enjoyed all the authentic Halifax food we've tried so far

Service was incredible! Fast, friendly and personableFish and chips was the best I’ve ever eaten with the exception of a place in Scotland where they filleted the fish in front of me, but as far as Edmontonian fish and chip shops go this is by far the best!! Tar tar sauce made in house!!! So good!Would recommend 12 times out of 10And their selection of beer on tap as well as bottled and tall boys is impressive, with knowledgeable and friendly bar staff!

Really enjoyed our meal. I would say maybe order take out at peak times as the space is very small. Besides that everything was unreal, best Caesar in Calgary.

Authentic Halifax! Absolutely delicious food. Don't be confused "Street food" includes a bucket of mussels inside a modern restaurant with a lovely view of Renfrew. Please get Garrison on tap, or bring in some local breweries!

ate there twice recently and have been very pleased with the service, food and atmosphere. Happy Hour is from two to five on Mondays to Fridays where you get some drinks for half price. I order the draft beer that is cheaper than coffee at the local diner! The fish and chips are excellent.

Amazing atmosphere, and really good food! Staff is super friendly, and all the pictures on the wall remind me of home. We tried the garlic fingers, lobster rolls, deep fried pepperoni and the donair. Everything was amazing except for the donair, I just wish the pita wasn’t as soggy, maybe it was just the one time. I’ll definitely be going back.

Awesome spot - I’ve been walking by it for a long time and finally stopped by. Great location for small parties looking for a fun Canadian food flair. You need to hit up happy hour and end it with some mini donuts. If you’re a foodie and love Great Big Sea, you’ll love this place (napkin game is strong).

The fish and chips (fries) were delicious. The tarter sauce was kicked up a notch and I loved the coleslaw which doesn't happen often. I had a bite of an OG donair and OMFG. I don't even like donairs and I already want to go back for one to myself. It probably helps that the server shares my name but spelled differently since Lindsay's are awesome. The place is small which adds to the charm and seating was not an issue while we were there.

A big call out to Josh. I had an issue and reached out. He showed me that he cares about his customers. A dumb thing could have easily led to a broken relationship without Josh stepping in to make it right. I will be back for the outstanding donairs regularly and thanks again for understanding Josh.

Really good Donair; very flavourful. The only negative is that it was smaller than I had expected. Comparable to other places regular size. The fish and chips are pretty good too. Best tasting in Calgary I've found so far, but might not mean much as I haven't had a lot of fish and chips. The doughnut dessert is also pretty good, but also small. Reminds me of a timbit but way better. Overall I enjoyed it.

This bar is a unique bar with great food, drinks and really good company. It is very East coast oriented, so if you love your East coast living, you gotta love this, without a doubt. There's is parking at the back for those who are interested and because this place comes very highly recommended, seating can be hard sometimes, so make sure you call in to reserve a table ahead, as much as possible. I'll give a special shout out to a waitress by name Kyla, who does a good job at making guest feel welcomed, making sure the drinks are flowing and is funny by nature. 😅😄#Tipyourwaitress

This is a run of the mill restaurant. Dramatically overpriced. 20+$ for "lobster rolls" and chips which consisted of about 1 table spoon of lobster mix per roll and the rest being bread and potato chips. The chowder was really bland and watery. Soup would be a better word for it. It's not bad food, but nothing stands out as worthwhile. Would go again if someone else paid

Some of the best fish & chips I've ever had. The fish is fried to perfection, with just the right amount of coating, plus it tastes really fresh. The fries aren't incredible, but they're still more than good enough. Pair this with a pop and you have yourself an amazing lunch.

Being from Halifax I am always looking for the flavours I grew up with and I am usually having difficulty finding them here in Alberta. This place though... Ugh. It's like I am transported back to pizza corner, or anywhere in Halifax for that matter. The donairs, the garlic fingers,the clams and chips and fish and chips, mussels, pizza, you name it. You can find these items anywhere but they will not taste like the authentic Maritimes like this place does it. My new favourite place.

I was told this place serves the famous east coast donairs, and, while I've never had donairs from the east coast, I must say they definitely did not disappoint in terms of quality of food. I usually find donair sauce too sweet and the meat too salty, but this place has the flavour and the seasoning of both of them nailed down perfectly. The chips I ordered as a side were quite amazing as well. It is a small restaurant and I'm not sure how busy it gets during dinner time, but I would definitely recommend checking out this place for lunch or dinner.
