Great place! Stopped there on a trip and had a good time. Food was excellent,try the French onion soup, and Paul was a fabulous host. May be awhile before I'm back in Nova Scotia, but will look forward eating there again.

Everything about our meal was awesome. Only the brave should order the blooming onion... we only got 1/2 way through but every bite was delicious. Steak, pasta, beer from Flying Boats... everything was was superb. Highly recommend.

I was blown away when I walked inside, not what I expected when I googled places to eat near Sackville. I had the hamburger soups of the day and Cobb salad. Both incredibly delicious. Service and atmosphere were outstanding. I highly recommend you try this place if you're passing by or through Sackville, NB.
