One of my favorite places to go when I'm home. Fish and chips with a side of gravy is perfect. I brought my husband here and he still talks about how simple and Delicious it was. I gave a 4 for service because I found on all 3 occasions (I'm home for a month and we gone 3 times already) and only once the service was less than. Kinda felt like we were an obligation Could have just been an off day too. As we all have those

Excellent food! It's definitely a place you want to go if you're looking for authentic maritime seafood. Taste is pure perfection 👌 Beautiful staff & busy atmosphere. It's my favorite place to eat when I'm in Nova Scotia 😋 ❤️

A delightful little restaurant is situated on the Dartmouth side. They offer fresh seafood, and their clams are especially delectable. However, if you are particularly interested in obtaining fresh clams from this establishment, it would be prudent to make a phone call in advance, as they often sell out by 5 pm. The fish and chips are also quite popular.

A true fish and chips dinner, a very busy spot but if you need to wait for a table it is worth it. I saw a lot of faces of staff and customers from the old John’s Lunch. The food comes out fast and hot, with very generous portions. Beer comes cold and in a bottle. This place is well worth the visit.

After years of seeing photos and hearing how good Pleasant Street Diner was I finally got a chance on my Vacation home to try them first hand. Not many places in Alberta have clams and fries. But the ones that do are not great. Pleasant Street Diner didn't disappoint us. From the quality of service and friendly staff. The food was great! Thanks again Jennifer for the photo.

A family-run business. A must-try fish and chips. We went here for lunch on a weekday, and there was a lineup. I wanted a clam chowder, but it wasn't available that day, so I ordered fish and chips. The fish was crunchy and fresh. The coleslaw and fries complemented the fish. It's cheap too, $12 for fish and chips. I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it.

I ordered the clam and scallop combo for takeout. The seafood was really fresh and delicious and it was cooked perfectly. I didn’t receive any of the homemade tartar sauce with my order so next time I will definitely ask for some.

Best seafood in Canada. Family run business. Big servings and the staff are always helpful. Get the Tips and Chips. You won't be disappointed! Most meals come with coleslaw, but I'm not a fan. Ask for no coleslaw, you will get more fish and fries. Win win.

We always try to support local when we can . We have been living here for almost 4 years now and this place was always on our radar to try . Well we have tried on several occasions now to go and try this place out and it was always a 45 minute wait to get in . Yesterday I tried calling all day to make a reservation for dinner and these people don t even answer their phones , maybe because my number is not a local number and they thought it was spam ? Anyways we decided to take our chances and just go to see if we could get in . 7pm on Saturday night , sign inside the doors reads take out only . Hmmm ok interesting because there were empty tables and people sitting having their meal . Buddy at the front door was ignorant and said yeah after 7 it s take out only . I replied to him with that s interesting but we did not know that as you guys don t answer your phone . So I think he maybe felt bad , and said you could take that empty booth there and just pointed . (There were more than one empty booth) . We sat and noticed the table had not even been cleaned or sanitized after the last people to sit there. We waited for a waitress to bring menus and it was taking awhile so we used the menu on our phones to decide what we wanted to order . When the waitress came to take our order I pointed out that the table needed to be cleaned . She proceeded to take one of the napkins on the table and give it a quick wipe . Unacceptable in my books considering you still have social distancing signage up on the tables as well as plexiglass between the booths to keep the patrons safe . Food orders were taken and brought out quickly , and was hot and tasty . (Now I know why this place is popular , the food is where it s at , not the service or the people) When the food was brought out we still had to wait to have condiments brought to the table for the fish and fries . (Any longer and the food would have been cold) . Not once did anyone come and ask how it tasted or if we needed anything else . Hubby finished his meal ahead of me , and the waitress decided that instead of having him pass her the dishes he was done with that she would just reach over me to grab them herself . This is very rude and unacceptable to do while someone is still eating their meal . They have a lot to learn about customer service and respect and manners for their patrons . I wonder how these people are still open for business after a first and probably last experience there . My guess is that they are only still open for business because the food is good . It s definitely not for the customer service that s for sure

Excellent food as always. My husband and I shared the clam/haddock tips combo and there was enough for 3 people! Highly recommend. On our visit last week, we decided to share a bowl of chowder....our server split it into two good sized bowls. It was full of fish, scallops and shrimp and so filling! You wont regret ordering it.

Great food. Fast service. I ordered a seafood platter. No clams available. Which is fine. Was not aware that I had a choice between one piece of fish or haddock tips. Haddock tips being a bit more food. I got scallops. Shrimp and one piece of fish. This time I only got very few fries. Compared to most either time recieveing many fries. So all in all there wasnt much food on the plate. My fault for not asking about haddock tips. I just didnt know it was an option. I feel the server maybe should have mentioned the options. But whatever. I split the meal with a friend. We werent full as per usual when splitting this meal. I mentioned my disappointment. And was compensated with some haddock tips to take home. Which wasnt necessary as it may have been my fault for not knowing or asking for more fries and or haddock tips. I just thought Id have to pay for more food which I didnt want to do. But I really appreciate the effort to make it right. Meant alot that they care enough to listen and fix the issue. Again. Not necessary but appreciated! I dont recommend getting a seafood platter when clams are not available. Although everything else was amazing. If you dont get what you want. Mention it. They will fix it. Great people. Great establishment! Will always return. One disappointing visit wont stop me from showing up or recommending this place. Love the food. They also have the best club house available in the city. No question ! Try it. Its worth sitting and waiting for 20 min for a table. ! Thanks for making it right! Very much appreciated

We happened upon Woodside Diner by accident. Our first visit. We were met at the door by one of the owners. A really nice treat actually. We ordered ample meals: 2-piece Haddock & fries as well a Hot Turkey Sandwich meal. Both were really delicious . The service was personable and quick. Our server, Jennifer, had a professional and very friendly manner. We had the chance to chat with owner on the way out. We will definitely be back when were in the neighborhood Parking: Level lot in good condition. Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance was from a wide sidewalk which was in excellent condition on a level parking lot. The interior had plenty of room between tables.

First time visiting Pleasant Street Diner and I gotta say this is some of the best food you can get in the Halifax/Dartmouth area. The portions are huge and the service is amazing. All our food arrived quickly and hit. The portions are ridiculously huge, tons of fish and fries, and a nice heaping scoop of coleslaw. The fish chowder was packed with seafood and was so delicious. The coconut cream pie was also top notch, one of the best slices Ive had in a while.

Our server was Nicky. The service was fast and friendly and we didn t feel rushed. Hats off to Nicky for her friendliness even though she was very busy. The serving were so large we took some home.

**Pleasant Street Diner - A Seafood Delight in Dartmouth** We recently had the pleasure of dining at Pleasant Street Diner in Dartmouth, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu boasts an impressive variety of seafood dishes, and we decided to indulge in a few of their offerings. We started with the fried calamari, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. . For the main course, we opted for the fish and chips, as well as a seafood platter that included scallops and clams. The fish and chips were outstanding, with a light, golden batter that encased the flaky, moist fish. The chips were crispy and seasoned to perfection, making this classic dish an absolute delight. The seafood platter was a true highlight of the evening. The scallops were made with perfection, offering a delicate sweetness that was enhanced by a subtle lemon butter sauce. The clams were equally delicious, with a briny freshness that transported us straight to the seaside. Each component of the platter was cooked to perfection, showcasing the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The service at Pleasant Street Diner was impeccable. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about ensuring we had a great dining experience. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they made us feel right at home. In addition to the outstanding food and service, the prices are very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions and high quality of the dishes. Its evident that the team at Pleasant Street Diner takes great pride in their work, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. If youre a seafood lover or simply looking for a memorable meal in Dartmouth, I cant recommend Pleasant Street Diner highly enough. Its a true gem that deserves all the accolades it receives. I look forward to my next visit!

Tonight I must give a big shout-out to this great diner! My husband and I decided to splurge for our 50th wedding anniversary and I happened to mention this when I called to order a seafood platter and 2-piece fish and chips. Well, when my husband went to pick up the order, he was surprised to find out that two rice puddings had been included free of charge, for our anniversary! Wow! We were so touched. But it didn t end there When he got home and we opened our special dinner, we realized that the diner had also added an extra piece of haddock! Can you imagine! They were just so kind_not to mention that the food was fantastic as always. Dartmouth is definitely blessed to have this place!

The best clams and chips in Nova Scotia and one of the best Fish and Chip resturants around. when they give you clams and chips they put the clams down first and fries on top, you get so many clams that i personally (and i can eat well) have a hard time finishing them all. The food never disappoints, if your visiting Nova Scotia for the first time or looking for a Fish and Chip place to try, you will not find better than here, IMO they are the best.

Got takeout from there this evening, the first time in several years we have eaten there. I have to say I was dissapointed. We have gone to the diner as our go to place for fish and chips since they first opened and found the fish excellent and the fries acceptable. ( dont let the reviewers fool you the fries are frozen not cut in the restaurant. This time I noticed that all three pieces of fish we ordered were almost identical in size and seemed to be a combination of some filet and some minced fish. The quality and freshness of the fish was well below normal quality have come to expect from this restaurant. This was certainly not helped by the batter which was too thick, crunchy and overcooked, nor the fries which were undercooked and soggy, and cold slaw which was dry and tasteless. We will probably return hoping this is a one off experience but should our next visit not show vast improvement we will surely be looking for another location for our fish and chips.

First off I was so sorry to hear about the passing of the older gentleman who ran the restaurant a few months ago. I actually remember him coming to our booth once while I was there with my family. He and my father ended up chatting about traveling overseas. By the end of the conversation he brought a piece of pie over for my stepmom. Truly seemed like a kind-hearted social person. My sincere sympathies to his family and loved ones. This is a wonderful establishment. Have been going there for years with family members (some of which can be very picky/particular and have had no complaints after several visits which is a rarity and that speaks to how good they actually are). Also always feel comfortable bringing people to for the first time. They can be busy during peak times for sure but thats what happens when you have good food and great service. There is a good variety of choices for everyone and the portions are quite generous which is surprising given how reasonably priced everything seems. I particularly enjoy their calamari Greek salad. Made the way I like with big chunks of everything and always so much calamari I can never finish it in one sitting. The place is always clean and actually noticed staff doing extra when things are slow which is always nice to see. They are also always personable and friendly and try to be as accommodating as possible. Have also done pick-up there several times and the wait is never unreasonable. Floor plan is set up so that even with mobility issues would not be hard to navigate. Theres a large free parking lot outside the restaurant with designated spots which is always nice. I am pretty sure I will still be going to this restaurant for many years to come. Parking: As mentioned parking outside the restaurant with designated spots available Wheelchair accessibility: As mentioned floor plan seems like it would be easy to navigate even with mobility issues.

Tommy was very friendly and even remembered my father and I after we hadnt been by in at least a year! The food came out quick was tasty and amazing! I had fish and chips (comes with coleslaw) only issue is that the coleslaw was a lil dry for my taste but other than that the fish was juicy and tasty, the chips were amazing and pair nicely with the gravy! Our server Chris was very kind and gave amazing service! Will 100% be coming back in the near future! Parking: Its right next to the restaurant and its pretty good. Kid-friendliness: They treat the kids with kindness. Wheelchair accessibility: From the lot straight to the restaurant it is easy for someone in a wheelchair to get in.

Best family owned spot in Dartmouth!!! Awesome service and food every time! Incredible seafood plus the best pan-fried haddock anywhere... They have other dishes besides seafood, but that is what is great here. Save room for a slice of pie or rice pudding!

Im kind of back and forth on this one. Their burgers used to be really good but now they are smaller and I was given lukewarm fries. Wont be buying this anymore. I was there recently and I thought their Haddock Tips were really good to me. My wife said no Johns Lunch makes better tasting ones to her. I cant tell the difference they both taste really good to me. :)

Heard many good things about this diner. 1st visit was OK. Not mind blowing as others have may have suggested. Portions good, service good and the prices were ok, I had the burger and I found it satisfying. May need a few more visits to explore their menu before I can really nail down whether I would agree with my friends high praise. But overall, based on my only visit, it was pretty good.

This is my favourite restaurant to get my seafood platter fix on. Make sure to get the clams if they re in season. Old school diner with simple homemade food. We got a seafood platter with an extra fish to share and a hearty seafood chowder. Although we had to wait around 15 minutes for a table on a lunchtime weekend, it was worth it for the delicious seafood. The coating on the deep fried seafood has a little bit of sweetness which differentiates it from other places. Would highly recommend a visit.

Our family ordered the haddock burger, the hot turkey sandwich, the deluxe cheese burger, and the calamari Greek salad. It was all homemade, fresh, and delicious. When our waiter asked if he could get us anything more, I said the only thing more we need is a larger table because the portions of food are very generous!
