Visited NS and hands down the best lobster rolls. The buns are actual English hot dog buns which are fluffy, tender and perfectly toasted. They offer a hot and cold version of lobster meat that is different from traditional cold lobster rolls. My family kept wanting to come back here for more! Their grilled cheese is also really good! Definitely the ultimate lobster roll and trust us, we tried A LOT. Not sure why the reviews are only average should be much higher.

If you love Lobster rolls then you came to the right place. Holy moly I ordered the half and half and it’s was heaven in my mouth yummy . Better than Pikes place lobster roll in Seattle. Highly recommend you get your hands on this when visiting Halifax.

Tasty lobster roll- cost was pretty comparable to other lobster rolls we tried considering it includes a side. Very convenient to stop by and try a lobster roll while strolling the harbourfront.

Enjoyed the delicious “fancy roll” which was nice and warm with lemon and butter. Lots of seating by the harbour to eat and enjoy! A little on the pricey side for the portion size but it was a nice experience!

I’ve been dying to try Dave’s Lobsters infamous Lobster Rolls! I ordered the “Fancy Roll” and it didn’t disappoint! Sooo delicious! Although it was pricey (35 for the roll, small bag of chips and a can of soda) It was def worth it! Can’t wait to come back again! Dave’s is located right in the Harbour. Super fun little spot with lots of sight seeing tourists
