It was very good ,the location , the view , the menu and the food were great . The ladies that work there were very friendly and can recommend anything on the menu that is very tasty ...we had the pan fried Haddock with mixed greens and caesar salads, it was wonderful. I had a lemon dill sauce with mine that was so good I put it on everything even my salad and my husband had Haddock Cajon style and he said it was great. Everything that people were getting looked delicious.
Recommended to us by friends in Halifax as the best seafood chowder, so far we'd have to agree....very, very delicious - full of seafood! The lobster roll and blueberry grunt were pretty darn good too!
Make a point of stopping by a few times a year for the best chowder and blueberry grunt I've ever had. Everything is amazing including the staff and the view! Will be there this Saturday afternoon to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Can't think of a better place to go
The Seaside Shanty is a great destination after a drive along the #3 highway. Always great food (the chowder is to die for) and the serving staff are very helpful. We always try and make it here a couple times during the summer season.
Thank you to the amazing friendly staff for making my daughters 18th birthday special! Everything we ordered was simply delicious! This is for sure, a best kept secret in beautiful Chester! ����
The biggest best burger I've had outside of HRM in 46 years. Chowder and lobster rolls and desserts all looked great. Service excellent.
My husband and I ate lunch at the Seaside Shanty today and were completely blown away by the outstanding seafood chowder. Probably the best we have ever had, it was absolutely chock-full of seafood finished with a perfect creamy broth. The interesting menu, the other amazing plates we saw going to other tables and the warm and welcoming service will ensure many more visits to this charming seaside eatery. Next time, we will be smart enough not to forgo those scrumptious looking tea biscuits.
I just ate the best seafood chowder I have ever had...and I have taste tested chowder in fish capitals of the world. Way to go guys.
Gotta say the Maple Walnut salad with shrimp, scallops & mussels was to die for. And their claim to fame seafood chowder- you can walk across- was delicious & hefty. Glad we stumbled across it. Jill, our server was delightful. You'll do yourself a disservice if you don't stop.
Absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, yummy flavours, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Lovely, quaint little seaside restaurant that serves up amazing food. The fish chowder was hearty and rich, burger was thick and juicy and served on fresh baked bread with homemade pickles. Great fishcakes and fresh potato wedges. Nom nom nom �
Great food, amazing staff! I unfortunately witnessed a customer being unnecessarily rude to the staff and owner. The staff were being so apologetic and accommodating to a very rude customer, who definitely did not deserve it! It was upsetting for me and my family to listen to an unreasonable person speak so harshly to the hard working staff in that manner. Chin up Seaside Shanty Staff! You all rock and I see how hard you work!
One of the best places for seafood on the south shore! Awesome service as well. The girls are super friendly but still professional.
Exceptional service and scrumptious food. I have Celiac Disease and was floored with the diligence I received on the matter of my safety while eating. I had the Pan Seared Haddock with Lemon Dill Sauce with Rosemary Red Roasted Potato & Veg. Also the Flourless Chocolate Torte! My Mother & cousin were with me and they each had Haddock as well and my Mom had the Apple Crisp and my cousin had the Blueberry Grunt. We will all be back to enjoy more dishes and an amazing view. Thank you! Cheers!
I loved the food, the atmosphere, and the people. Definitely worth a stop for fresh seafood and attentive service.
I loved their burger, great to see a non seafood option. I will be visiting again.
First time. Amazing Service and Food! I recommend this place for sure!
Love this place! The view outside is gorgeous and the atmosphere inside is warm and inviting. The service and food are outstanding with the best lobster chowder around!
Chowder, mussels were the best. Dessert amazing. Great service, staff were friendly and helpful.

The haddock chowder was so delicious! And the Clubhouse was great too! Service was wonderful! I will have to back again for more chowder!!!
delicious!!! chowder was one of the best i have tasted! such a cute little place. we will back next time we are in nova scotia
Amazing spot, terrace and view. Very nice service. I only took the chowder and the house made iced tea, it was delicious. I saw many dishes and all looked delicious. I really recommend this restaurant!
What a great place to eat and we sat outside along side the water. Beautiful atmosphere. I had the Campfire burger and I dont eat burger very much but it was highly recommended, and and can see why, best burger I ever had! The sauce was so delicious I wish they sold it to take home🙂 my friend had the pan fry fish and loved it. Of course we had dessert they had blueberry grunt which was delicious and I had the peanut butter chocolate thing in a Mason jar and it was fantastic! Our waitress was a sweetheart she explained a lot about the food and she wasn't rushing us ever. We definitely enjoyed it all the atmosphere the food and drink and our waitress I would highly recommend going . Thanks to all 🙂
Whenever we're in Nova Scotia, we try to go to the Seaside Shanty. The food is always delicious the view is outstanding, and the service warm and friendly.
This is one of our favourite places to eat when on our Sunday drive around the south shore. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is at once inviting, captivating and relaxing. The outdoor dining area overlooks the bay and is a beautiful place to take a relaxing stop. We had the corn chowder and the shanty burger and both were delicious.
It is always good food and friendly (very helpful staff) . Accommodating their menu for gluten free. Best seafood chowder ( no potatoes filler or celery and no carrot . Just lots of seafood. YUM YUM.
We took a drive down the south shore of Nova Scotia a couple weekends ago and stopped in to the Seaside Shanty. The staff was friendly, the location was nice (right by the water) and the food was good. My wife and I both ordered the seafood chowder (bowl-sized). I also had the scallops and my wife had mussels.
I'm giving this a 4-star rating, instead of 5, because the portions were a bit small and I left hungry. For the price we paid (it's not cheap!) we should not have been leaving hungry. The chowder bowls should be larger (throw out those shallow bowls) and the scallop portion should be larger.
But... the food is good... there's just not enough of it.
My boyfriend brought me here for my first experience. We ordered their seafood chowder, scallop dish and paired it with wine. The food was delicious. I recieved an incredible amount of large chunks of fresh seafood in my small order and the flavoring of the sauce was out of this world delicious. They have the best seafood chowder I've personally ever eaten!!!!!! The staff was helpful, courteous, professional and helpful with pairing food and drinks available. I have nothing but positive comments for this little Gem in Chester NS. *****HIGHLY RECOMMEND ******
