This was our first visit to B&G and we loved it. We went early enough to enjoy happy hour so that was a bonus but the food was all delicious. We started with a dozen oysters which were fresh and very good. My only complaint and why I didn’t give 5 stars was the condiment selection. You get only 2 accompaniments with the oysters, hot sauce and a mignonette and you only get about a TBS of each for the entire dozen. We are used to having horseradish as a choice and also not having to ration out the sauces. If you are trying to control costs, cutting back on the items that cost only pennies is not going to get you very far. But back to the food, Lobster Artichoke Dip was excellent, clams & chips, cheeseburger poutine, fish & chips and scallops & chips were all very, very good. We all agreed we would come back again.

Updated: we went in anyway kinda blind because of the website issue that's being worked on. What a delight!! Kayley was our server and was terrific. We ordered the lobster dip, cheesesteak and fried pepperoni and everything was phenomenal! It's very nice inside, bathrooms were super clean, music wasn't too loud. It was a really great experience. Highly recommend.

Hey yo did you know your website isn't working??

After numerous glowing recommendations, I finally decided to give this restaurant a try. It was easy to get in, and if the main lot is full, there’s plenty of extra parking available next door.

The menu was a delightful challenge, overflowing with options that seemed perfectly tailored to my tastes. I wanted to try just about everything!

I ended up choosing the fish and chips along with a bowl of chowder, while my wife went for the Shrimp Po’ Boy. Every bite was exceptional! The tartar sauce, in particular, was a revelation—I could drink it straight, it was that delicious.

The service was top-notch, and the food arrived quickly and steaming hot. If I had to mention one minor gripe, it’s this: I paid $8 for an extra piece of haddock with my fish and chips, but I was only given one tiny cup of tartar sauce. How am I supposed to enjoy three amazing pieces of fish with just one small serving? When I asked for more, I was charged an extra $2.

But honestly, if that’s my biggest complaint, then this place is clearly doing a lot right. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Came with the kids to try out this spot on a Saturday morning. Food was pretty good and place looks really nice. We'd come back and try again.

Kids liked their burgers and donair slider, though one boy mentioned they were a bit heavy handed on the ketchup (on the burger) for his liking, but he was able to scrape some off and still had a great time with his food!
