Alma Boathouse Restaurant in Alma

An excellent restaurant for a quick a bite to eat, like a lobster roll!

The best chowder and lobster roll I have had in the Maritimes. Excellent service soup was really hot which is the way to serve soup. Definitely a place to visit.

The blueberry cheesecake is amazing.

Waitress was fantastic!! Food was awesome!

Best chowder in New Brunswick! Fast friendly service. Great tasting food. We enjoyed the fishermans platter. We asked that the scallops and shrimp be sautéed. Reasonably priced.

Delicious dinner. Everything we ordered was delicious: Seafood chowder, chicken wings, broiled scallops, and I couldn t resist ordering the lobster stuffed mushroom caps- very light and tasty. For dessert we had the bread pudding and it is the best I ve ever eaten.

I went with 4 of my sisters. Four of us had the lobster roll with seafood chowder. ($29) It was fantastic!! We have been visiting the East Coast for about a week and this was the best so far. Every bite full of seafood. The lobster roll was on garlic toast. Soooo yummy. One sister had lobster Mac and cheese. Also delicious. For dessert we tried the carrot cake and blueberry cheesecake. Both very good. Staff is super friendly. Nice atmosphere. If you get the chance check this place out. Well worth it.

Yummy Lobster dip and the restaurant is cheery and bright. Lovely

great food, great place and excellent service

Excellent seafood chowder

Yum!

Amazing food, and the service was also great. Friendly staff, and everyone loved their meals. The lobster roll and chowder were both great.

If I could give zero stars I would. The staff made us wait to be seated for over 10 minutes, only to tell us they were unwilling to take 6 people as their tables were only made for 4. The restaurant was next to empty. They need some lessons on customer service.

Great food, fresh and well cooked fish! Excellent local beer on tap. Service a little slow, but the place was very full, the lady even apologized for the wait. Account in line with other places of this kind.

Great food.

The best lobster roll I have ever had service was fast and friendly this is now on my list of stops every year when we head east the caves were amazing too but that lobster roll,,,, yummy

Lobster poutine and lobster mac & cheese were AMAZING. Herfect size portions. Have to go back for sure. Have a small outdoor dining area.

Best fish and chips Ive had in my life!

Great food and good prices. Loved the Boathouse fish and chips platter. Reminded me of fish n chips in England

Seafood chowder and lobster are excellent and good value! Actually cheaper around New Brunswick and Nova Scotia

Very good food for the price. Service was fast and very friendly. Mussels were very good, lobster roll was okay (not great) but a bit smaller than others. Fish and chips we re also very good with a nice light batter.

Delicious homemade wild blueberry pie. Fantastic pan seared scallop dish with rice/veggies for those looking for lighter options. Amazing haddock fish and chips dinner.

Good service and food was tasty. I can say fresh food . Will visit again.

Best meal we had while visiting the area.

Loved the lobster dip, chowder, and lobster roll. Friendly staff Food

Okay, this restaurant is so good, you should make it your destination and visit Fundy National Park as a side trip. The seafood chowder was hands-down the best my wife and I have ever had in our lives. My lobster roll was made of true chunks of lobster. The beer selection is really good too with drafts from nearby Pump House Brewery. Try to get Natalie as your server. She just makes everything happen.

Stopped for lunch, lobster mushroom caps, lobster dip, lobster roll, wings, and fried clams. All delicious. The lobster dip is a must try.

We had a delicious seafood dinner here! Highly recommend the seafood chowder. The server was very friendly and the meal was excellent.

Excellent meal. There were 5 of us and we all enjoyed our meal. The seafood soup is divine. The fish burger too. Impeccable service. The lady who served us was very kind. The value for money is good. I recommend.

Food was amazing, but waited about 30 minutes to sit down which is understandable as they were busy, and about 40 minutes to get food after ordering which again is understandable as they were busy. Waitress seemed in a bad mood, and proceeded to serve tables and checkout every table that came in after us which caused us to wait about 40 minutes just for the bill. I understand they are busy and every spot down here was, but just to wait 40 minutes for the bill as everyone else who ordered and ate after us got there s before us upset me greatly.

Meh, overpriced

Family restaurant. A treat for all. Hearty meal, fast service, very good value for money. Thank you for the welcome and your kindness.

Amazing seafood in a casual comfortable environment. Friendly staff. The clams were so good just sweet and fresh..

Food

Great Lobster roll! It was our favorite of the week! Service was very good so we ate here for lunch and dinner. I appreciate your pet-friendly patio, thank you! Food : 5/5

Atmosphere of restaurant was calm, comforting, and nicely decorated with a theme of the coast (slightly maritimes). Food was amazing, my boyfriend had the fish & chips and I had the lobster mac & cheese! good portions, cooked perfectly, and really nice flavours. Waitress was super friendly and accommodating and attentive, food came fast, really enjoyable & affordable experience Our waitress Tina! Thanks Tina :) 5/5

I had such a good seafood soup! And we were served by a super nice and efficient waitress! I recommend!

Best Seafood/Fishermans platter that I have ever had.

Good menu, good food, Stephanie was a wonderful server.

They were not nice to us and then they stepped on our table

Groupe of 15, tried to sit outside cause we had 2 dogs with us. The waitress came out and was really rude to us. Wouldnt let us sit cause the table was dirty and then climbed on the table to open the umbrella. So we left with no intention of going back

Great experience! Loved the decor, the service, and of course the best part was the meals. I had the lobster stuffed mushroom caps which I highly recommend. Best meal Ive had in awhile!

We had the fish and chips and the bowl of chowder with lobster rolls. Our meal was great and our server was so friendly and quick with our service.

Very clean and lovely!

The food and service were very good. Scallops were cooked to perfection.

Great seafood at the source. Try their scallops.

We as a group of 9 members had Been to this hotel. we sat in Two tables because of big group. One of the waitress was very rude our baby was playing with salt and pepper. She came and pulled from the baby hand. She also mentioned she cannot clean the mess baby made. I told I will clean but she was rude she took from the baby. We as parents agree not to play with those things. We are explaining and getting it back. This was a harsh behavior and as for us food was very much delayed. Kids started crying. Food taste was not that great.not worth the wait.

Excellent food. Try the whole lobster or the lobster poutine. Seating inside or out. Friendly and helpful server. Free parking nearby.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch at The Alma Boathouse Restaurant on June 3rd. Lucky for me, they have a separate gluten-free menu (much appreciated). I had the lobster roll (which was served on a GF biscuit) and coleslaw. My husband had the fried clams and coleslaw and my daughter had a salad and a bowl of clam chowder (the best chowder that shes ever had). All were delicious and the soft drinks were good. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. Will definitely be back the next time that we visit Alma.

Perfect dinner spot in Alma after a long day of exploring Fundy. Scallops and lobster dinner were amazing. Service was quick and super friendly.

Beautiful restaurant with super nice people 10/10 would go again Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly

Chowder was great as was the lobster roll and a generous portion too!! Good service and nice n clean.

Amazing lobster roll and scallops in a casual friendly setting on the Bay of Fundy.

Great service and great atmosphere. You can enjoy a beer and good food here while enjoying a nice view of mountains and watching hummingbirds flying outside the window.

Generous seafood portions. Excellent chowder. Nice people.

Excellent service, friendly, efficient Fantastic fried clams.

The 18% Gratitude on the menu should of been a red flag. Fish was minimum and batter was soggy , fries were good. Wifes fish cakes were just ok. Coleslaw was dry.

Amazing spot with great gluten free options!

Restaurant at the Fundy National Park gate. Clam chowder excellent. Superb fish and chips.

Delicious!! Although we arrived late (7 pm and they closed at 8 pm) the owner still called and tried to get us lobsters as they had just sold out. We really enjoyed the seafood chowder! Very highly recommended.

The food was awesome, delicious, and tasty, but the waitress behavior was too bad. She bahaved so badly because she could not get what she expected. It was the first and last time that I went there. I do not recommend this restaurant. Food : 5/5

Great fish cakes and clams. Service was very down home-ish.

Service was slow. We waited over an hour for an appetizer. For the food the appetizer was a Ceasar Salad and that was really good. For the mains we ordered steak and fish & chips. The fish was very greasy and very soggy. The steak was just ok and not that great. The desserts were good. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good and had a good theme to it. Overall the food is nothing special and have had better food elsewhere. Should you eat here? I will leave that up to the individual person. Nothing to really write home about.

Came for lunch and fairly empty at the time. Service was good, huge portion on the fish and chips. Scallops appetizer was really good

Food amazing as always but the server was very racist and rude!

GOOD. Quick service at 6 p.m.

The lobster roll and chowder were both terrific. Service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Amazing lobster roll and clam chowder. Seafood linguini and lobster dip outstanding. Very nice servers Went because of the great reviews 5star great place to dine Food

Visit Alma, NB for the first time and the Boathouse Restaurant was my first choice to dine-out and, I am loving it. Service was awesome! Friendly and sweet customer service. I ordered a Chowder to begin with and a Platter of Deep Fried Battered Clams served with fries and coleslaw due to curiosity. And it s so yummy Chowder. Perfect taste. Highly recommend.

The best lobster roll Ive had. Outstanding chowder.

Enjoyed this place. Discovered this place after coming from hopewell rocks. The quantity of food with respect to price is amazing. The Fish and chips and chowder were the show stoppers. We even loved the bread pudding. Must visit Alma if you have completed your trip to hopewell rocks. Parking: There is a public parking at the back of the restaurant. Pleanty of spots available if its not a busy day.

Very welcoming by staff. Food was good.

The lobster was very good. Attentive service. Closes early (8 p.m.).

This is my first time here in Alma NB After visiting Fundy National Park, it was tome for dinner. The Alma Boathouse restaurant stood out as a good place to go and have a meal. I had the fish and chips. It was very good and I am happy to have ordered it. The food was hot and tasty. Great service by staff. .

Busy little place with very good food and fantastic service. Definitely order the lobster dip with pita chips and the lobster mac & cheese. Beware the fish and chips are huge

Marianne s recommendations and demeanour were outstanding. Although it took a while for the food to arrive (but our our amazing waitress had given us a head s up) it was worth the wait. We will definitely be back!

If you prioritize good things in your life. Stop here and get the lobster roll. Slap ya mum that s the best roll I ve ever had no doubt. Make a grown man cry type of food. By golly.

Best lobster roll I ve ever had I won t lie and I ve eaten a lot of lobster rolls. You won t be disappointed

Very nice, cozy, friendly, warm place to eat. Highly recommend!

Food excellent a lot for your money. Girls running off their feet they work hard was a longggg wait but worth it in the end. Atmosphere was ok but to quiet at the time anyways some background music would be more inviting one of our favs in Alma

I enjoyed the Lobster Roll and Chowder. The lobster roll had a good amount of lobster and was not overpowered by the mayo. The chowder could have been creamier. But, it was still good. My girlfriend tried the fish and chips. The fries were very good, but the fish itself was just alright.

Sorry, but this is another review to say that the Alma Boathouse gave us an excellent culinary experience. The chowder was fabulous and the mussels in beer were so good and reasonable (11$) that I allowed myself two (!) servings. The mussels were delicious and fresh, and they were quickly shown the broth and then brought to the table: sweet, tender, plump . Yum! We ordered the scallops in smoked salmon cream sauce which was rich and unctuous (though I feel they would have been good simply pan-seared with lemon. Our third meal was fried chicken (again excellent) and delicious crispy french fries. Thanks to Darlene, our visit was friendly and a breath of home. Thanks everyone at the Boathouse.

It was delicious! Highly recommend the lobster roll and seafood chowder!

Classic, no frills type dining. Nice selection for the whole family and pleasant staff. Good, comfy place to eat during our Alma visit. First time trying fried clams here. They were done well!

Chef did an awesome job on my GLUTEN FREE pan seared scallops. Gluten Free menu available. Food

Pulled pork was good. Hamburger (I belive it was frozen not fresh) was gluten free, had gluten free buns. Fries were slightly overdone. Wine was good.

Super friendly service with delicious and reasonably priced food!

Lobster roll with chowder was outstanding. Seafood linguini was as fine as anything we had in Europe. Friendly and relaxed place to dine.

We ate here at the beginning of September. I had the scallops and fries, and my husband had the lobster roll and chowder. The portions were good, the food was tasty, and the prices were reasonable. Our waitress was terrific. She gave us some insider tips on places to visit. We visited three of them, and they were all amazing. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free menu

Large portions of incredible home cooked meals.

So glad we chose to have dinner here! My wife ordered the fish and chips & I ordered the seafood platter. Service was great and the server recommended they could pan sear the scallops and shrimp over deep frying. I was so glad she informed me that it was an option. Large, flavourful and tender scallops. Best Ive had cooked to perfection. Everything on plate was delicious.

Service was excellent! Friendly and quick to the table! Food was fast to come out ! Hot and delicious! Beer was cold! We had lobster stuffed mushroom caps, mussels and fries and gravy!

The food is fresh and delicious, the service is good, and the prices are similar to those in Toronto.

Nice comfortable restaurant with good seafood and other.

Not a lot of options for a plant based/vegan. My boyfriend enjoyed the haddock. Food wasn t really picture worthy. Food

Looks like a takeout from the outside but dont be fooled. The food here is delicious and the scallops in cream sauce are out of this world. One of the better meals Ive had in a while. Service was also very good .

This is my first time writing a review and let me tell you what, THIS restaurant is a MUST. The Mac N Cheese Lobster was the best

Excellent little restaurant. Clean, friendly and good food.

Loved the ambiance, service and the food.

great place for GF wings and fries. The also have GF apple crisp, I missed out on it but the thought...

Best fish & chips I ve ever had! Great service and location. Will be back

Food was excellent. The Chowder was Awesome.

Fish and chips were great and Darlene was a delight. Wonderful feel here

Really good food!!

Very good service! Had the lobster-filled mushroom caps topped with cheese!

Stopped in for ice cream it was awesome! Rated right up there with Umpqua Dairy in Roseburg, Oregon! Went back the next night for lobster dinner, which was great also. The homemade pie was over the top, friendly staff. GO THERE IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA.

Best fish & chips Ive had in years. Great service and reasonable prices.

Excellent service and food was amazing

Ordered the scallop linguini, fish cake with seafood chowder, and fish and chips with fried clams. The scallop linguini and seafood chowder were both good but the fish and chips and fish cake were quite disappointing. The staff were very friendly though.

I had awesome service from Tina!!! She even answered my dumb question about how to eat mussels which I d never tried - - they were great by the way! Outstanding service and food!!!

Absolutely delicious! Hands down the best lobster roll in Alma, and everything else we tried was delicious too. Friendly, efficient employees and great atmosphere. Family friendly, highly recommend!

Best seafood chowder and fish & chips I ve ever had!!! Me and my family ate there multiple times during our stay in Alma, and we will be back! Special shout out to our server Gloria - she is very attentive, kind and hard working. Thanks so much!!!

Good food,

The food here is fantastic! Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. They also have quality beer from a tap. Overall, this is probably the best restaurant in Alma, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try good fish or lobster.

Food was great and the outside tables were pet friendly. A big plus for us that like to take our dog on our road trips.

Good food

Alma Boathouse is the best seafood restaurant we ate at! You have to visit and try their food! We visited from Ontario! We stoped at Alma Boathouse restaurant as it was recomanded by the owner from our Motel. We love seafood and tried at Alma Boathouse restaurant different dishes. We visited Alma Boathouse twice in our vacation. We visited New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia. Everywhere we ate during our vacation, nothing matched the food we had at Alma Boathouse in New Brunswick. We had the seafood chowder soup every time, it is the best chowder you can ever have! The ladies at the restaurant are fantastic, very helpful and super friendly! Thank you for the best seafood experience !

Best fish and chips weve ever had!! Super crispy and full of flavour. Would highly recommend!!! Poutine was good too.

So delicious!!! Seafood chowder was full of seafood and the mussels were large and yummy!

Great family restaurant and they have delicious gluten free options, including dessert! Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free options Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

Excellent efficient service from Mary Ann,Very friendly and outgoing ! Had a lobster dinner and it was so juicy and delicious. Thank You Mary Ann for the great dining experience.

The food was amazing and the quantity of 1 feeds 2.

A nice restaurant just on the way to/from Fundy National Park. Good seafood for a good mood after a fun day outdoor activities. My kids so much love the chouder and lobster rolls. Super friendly and helpful staffs

Good meal and good service.

Wonderful fast service and even better menu!

Great service and portions! the scallops where to die for! will be returning!

We were seated, waited a half hour! Others that entered after us were getting served almost instantly! We walked out without even having a drink brought to us! I will not recommend this place to friends and family! After a long day in the Fundy Trail food would have been nice! Give 1 star cause i cant give 0

The lobster Mac did tasted of boxed Mac and cheese and there was no lobster

The wait is too long (1 hour) but when the lobster arrives, it makes you forget everything. The Lobster rolls are also excellent.

Nice place, very quaint with friendly staff and delicious food

My family all enjoyed their lobster dinners, however we collectively felt the service was sub par. Our server barely stopped in, and 3/6 of our glasses were empty and sitting at the end of the table for a while, and when the server did stop in we had to ask her as she was leaving for more drinks. Dietary restrictions: For my fellow vegans: no meal options, I had a side garden salad (no options on the menu for a large salad) and fries. Their veggie burger contains milk ingredients, as well as wheat for whom it concerns. The veggie burger appeared to be the only vegetarian option on the menu.

Very nice place. Good food. The Chowder is great.

Food wad amazing and staff were very polite and helpful. Restaurant was clean. Loved it and would definitely recommend

Loved it! Decorated really cool! Great food and great, friendly service!

Really good. Delicious and inexpensive haddock fish and chips. Succulent scallops.

Very friendly staff. Variety of tasty dishes to try. My only regret is that I found out about this place on the second time I was in town.

Very friendly and well located place, impeccable and fast service, copious and succulent dishes, with good quantities of seafood.

Wandered in on our way back from Moncton late Saturday afternoon. On the recommendation of the waitress had the lobster roll and chowder for $22. Lobster roll was delicious. Generous amount of lobster that was light on the mayo (exactly how I like) and served on buttered, toasted bread. Chowder was fantastic. Again, generous amount of seafood. Broth was not too thick and was buttery in taste. My daughter had poutine and it was okay (too much gravy) hence four stars. That said, you don t come to Alma with all its seafood and expect fabulous poutine

Fantastic! Food was so delicious! Service was great!

Fast and smiling service. The fish soup is excellent, generous (not full of potatoes) a nice variety of seafood in a lemon cream soup. For dinner it was a success, I highly recommend it. Prices are reasonable.

Had a lovely dinner, food excellent service prompt,and server was friendly and helpful. I recommend this restaurant if you are around there.

The service and my servers sense of humour is 5 star! And I know theres already a ton of lobster pictures posted for here, but why not post one more!

We stumbled upon this spot as our first seafood meal in the east coast since everything else in Alma was closed. It absolutely did not disappoint. This is the best chowder we tried in the east coast! The lobster roll was delicious and the seafood linguine was PERFECT! Definitely a great stop. Lovely service too, she recommended the pump house radler to me (a must try).

Busy place , the woman serving us was super friendly, best seafood chowder I had on my trip.

Great tasting scallop dishes and generous amount. Strawberry/rhubarb crisp delicious.

Amazing food Marianne was amazing and knowledgeable with the service. Place is very clean. Keep up with the good work Kid-friendliness: Saw few familys with the kids

Chowder with lots of fish and seafood, very good. Excellent service, beautiful, clean and welcoming little restaurant.

Always great food here and the service is perfect.

The servers were so nice to us it was very pleasant, and the food was good.

They advertise take out but they dont do take out if they have dine and customers, apparently.

Great chowder

Loved the seafood chowder!

Great choices, and everything was good.

Best seafood chowder I had on our entire trip. I would love the recipe. So delicious. About 30 minutes from Hopewell Rocks and worth the drive. Great little fishing town to visit. Full of surprises. We love Alma.

Clams, scallops, & lobster mushroom caps. All services piping hot and so full of flavor. So worth the trip.

Food was excellent and service was great. Lobster dishes were exceptional.

We go there a couple time a year and the food and service are always great. The best Haddock Ive ever had. Parking: Always find a place very close to restaurant. Main street parking.

Been there once 15 years ago, but in the old house, food at least as good as back then.

Excellent food, reasonable prices, mussels the best I have ever had. Great service everything looked great.

We have just left restaurant . I am writing my review right away to help you decide where to eat ! This was an amazing meal. We shared the Lobster stuffed mushrooms, they were served hot and delicious ! I had the Boat house neptune seafood linguini, and my husband had the fried clams . Both meals were amazing. The seafood linguini was very similar to a Bouillabaise . It was quite a delightful suprise , served warm and the seafood was not over cooked. The fried clams were also well cooked and crispy. This meal was one of the best we have had in a long time . Quite the treat. Also I have to mention the excelent service received from M.A. Hands down I recomend you try this restaurant while in Alma !

Delicious food! Great service! A highlight of our visit to Alma! Parking: Lots of parking in the back.

The food was so good. I had the lobster poutine and it did not disappoint. The best thing Ive eaten in years.

Super Lobster Roll

Charming restaurant serving delicious food. If youre foodie you dont want to miss this place. The lobster was amazing!

Good meals at affordable prices.

Good food and service although a bit pricey. Not overly friendly but the server warmed up after while.

Loved the seafood bucket and appetizers and the service was above and beyond

Food was amazing. Got the seafood bucket to share was such a great option we both walked out full. Great variety of food there are vegan options as well.

Great stop for dinner. For appetizers I highly recommend ordering the scallops with salmon in cream sauce. That was amazing, so buttery and tasty with the buttered bread. I ordered the lobster roll, wish there were more lobster in my roll, it was just shredded small pieces. The fries were fresh and crispy. The taste was great overall.

Wonderful place and delicious food.

I had to update my review. We came to Alma late in the season and had supper here. My fish and chips were huge. The meal was very good.

Excellent fish and chips. Attentive service. Attractive decor.

Had lunch here. Best lobster roll and chowder in Alma. Totally worth it and so fresh. Service by Tina was excellent as well.

Good food, big servings.

The service here was very good, charming server. The fish was tasty and reasonable priced. The clams were cooked and not rubbery and the seafood chowder was awesome. Thanks for a good experience

Super good dinner

Dropped in for the seafood chowder loved it. My friend had a 2 lb lobster which she thoroughly enjoyed. Great Food excellent service, reasonable prices. Totally recommend this place.

Excellent food and service, very clean

We loved our very original seafood dinner (2-3 people) Mussels, scallops, shrimp and whole lobster, baked potato, broccoli and corn-turkey ear. All in a large metal beer cooler. Accompanied by local beers. Superb experience.

Very clean!! Great food and great atmosphere.....prices are great

Amazing fish and chips soooooo good !!

Highly recommended! Our party loved the lobster poutine, the crispy fish sandwich, the fish and chips with sweet potato fries. Great service too

Best seafood in Alma, NB! My son had fried claims and mussels. The Seafood chowder, scallops, and mussels were excellent and our servers were super nice. The food was so good with great service my son and I ate there twice during our vacation in Alma, NB!
