My husband and I ate at Grubstake every chance we had on our three-day stay in Louisbourg! The food was terrific: crab cakes, caesar salads, lasagna, chicken caesar wraps, carrot cake, strawberry shortcake. The restaurant's interior is simple ~ a great glimpse in to an honest-to-goodness old restaurant that cares about its customers and the quality of food. We felt as if we were stepping back in time to when good food and superior service mattered more than glitz and glamour. Everything is homemade and delicious.
The staff makes each customer feel valued and special. As Paulette said to us, "The most important thing is that you are happy." And, boy, were we!! Don't miss out on this classic, delicious, and hospitable opportunity to experience Louisbourg at its finest!
Had a great lobster dinner with a great bottle of local wine. Excellent service. Lobster season is short up here (two months).
Service was great. Food was wonderful and jazz playing on the stereo was cool. I highly recommend the shrimp and scallop flambe.
My wife and I had excellent seafood meal's. I am generally not a big fan of fish, but my wife had such a good experience with haddock in the area, I had to try it. It was excellent, among the best fish I gave eaten. He scallops were excellent as well. For dessert we made a special request they were able to accommodate and the blueberry pie with local wild blueberries was just right. Service was attentive and thus was an overall very nice vacation experience
Our server was very polite and helpful. The hot turkey sandwich I had wasn't quite what I was hoping for but my group all loved their meals. A good place for even large groups. (they easily accommodated our six and then another group of twelve that came in. The main seating area is quite nice.
I noticed the owner responds to Google reviews, which in my mind demonstrates a lot of care in the business.
A family meal after a visit to Loiusburg went over very well! The kids options were delicious but for the price it would have been nice to have a drink or dessert included.
The haddock burger and chippers were great. The burger was a touch overdone but the flavours were awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to get it again.
The service was prompt and friendly. Our server was very knowledgeable and honest.
Thanks for the good food experience!
Over the moon at how new Management is handing all aspects of the restaurant this season.
I have been here many times so far for both lunch and dinner, and both menus have options for everyone.
Great staff, great food, and definitely one of my go-to spots on the island.
Try their home baked desserts - you wont be disappointed!!
