The food is amazing and the portions are big. They offered pick up as well. The view of the bay from this area is breathtaking.

The place is lovely with very kind staff. The food is beyond delicious as well! All food is very cheap such as a pizza sub (which was delicious) for 9, taxes included. Overall, if I ever stop in the area again, I will take any detour it takes to visit the restaurant again!

This place has been in operation for more than 30 years. Great food.Lobster rolls and fish and chips are the best of anywhere in Nova Scotia. I had a great conversation with another guest from Washington DC, that agreed very much with what I was saying.

If you're ever in Joggins check out the Bayview. Great home style meals at a reasonable price. Fed 6 people for a bit over 80.00 and everyone left full! Service was great and will definitely be back.

We were around the area and wanted to grab a lunch. Decided to give this place a try based on decent google reviews. The place was very small as we first walked in and was unsure how good the food would be. It turned out amazing! . The owner was very courteous and we ordered the fish and chips with fresh homemade fries.Wow - the fries was so fresh and halibut fish was delicious as the batter was light, thin not oily.All the friends I want with a blown away and with great service and food.Would definitely come back if given the chance too. We are from Ontario and wish they had fish and chips made like this.

This is a great place right by the Fossil Cliff Museum.Well the menu consists mainly of hot dogs, hamburgers, fried fish, and fried clams, this restaurant is run single-handedly by a firecracker of a lady! Think of a hot dog stand with an amazing woman running it!This is a great stop if you're coming from the Fossil Museum.Recommended.
