Dropped in yesterday, August 29th. Should have gone to John's Lunch. At least there the food is consistently very, very good. I ordered the lobster sandwich with a baked potato. The bread was not the freshest. When I took a bite it broke in pieces somewhat dry to say the least. The lobster filling was just in the middle and was totally tasteless, if I had been blindfolded and not ordered I wouldn't have know what it was. As for the potato it was lukewarm to say the least. It appeared to be Yukon Gold which don't bake well. All in all a waste of hard earned money and time. I would have had a side Cesar Salad but they only have the one size too expensive. If you are looking for a great meal go to Inn on the Lake, Fall River. We have been going there for years and I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal or any negative comments.

Took family from Montreal on My husbands 50th birtday. Upon arrival the manager said we had 10 minutes to order, as the kitchen was closing. We waited 20 minutes before the waitress showed up and took forever to get our food. DO NOT order the ribs..the middle was not cooked and blood running from it. Called over waitress and she said the cook went home and would not charge us..got sick off raw pork, and the manager gave me a dirty look and did not apologize. Do not eat at this restaurant unless you want to get sick.

I chose Boondocks as the restaurant to bring my visitors from Australia and Texas for a taste of Nova Scotia seafood. The restaurant was almost empty, early afternoon on a Monday. We were shown to seats by the window and then told they were actually reserved, so moved to another area. The menu's were left at the first table and as the server had disappeared, we had to retrieve them ourselves. After about ten minutes, our order was taken. We eventually flagged someone to bring us some water and waited. The food finally arrived and was either luke warm or cold. We again had to find someone to ask for the food to be returned and heated. The server was no where to be found, until a visit to the washroom, showed us that ALL the staff were sitting at a table chatting and eating. We did finally receive our bill and left. It is the last time I will ever return and will make sure to spread the word. Our Province prides itself on it's food and it's people. Boondocks just left a bitter taste and feeling for me.

Don't even bother.
This is a shame for a restaurant at such a great location with a nice deck on the Eastern passage.
We went there for Sunday night dinner at 6pm, my husband and I, we were also meeting friends there an hour later but decided to go early to enjoy the good weather.
Although the restaurant was only half filled we waited at the door for over 15 minutes with a line up because the greeter was MIA.
Finally we say we want to sit outside and instead of seating us, they hand us menus and tell us to seat ourselves.
We sat outside and waited for service for over 20 minutes, nothing, another group had to go inside to request service, we flagged down someone and asked for service.
Us and the other table being ignored were being served by different servers so it was not the particular waiter/waitress.
Finally someone shows up to take our drink orders, disappears. Walks by us several times. We literally wait another half hour.
Literally one full hour of no service/no drinks, we finally say to heck with this and leave.
At the same time our friends pull in, and all 6 of us go to Celtic corners instead, which has excellent service and was half the price of the items on the menu at Boondocks.

This was sincerely the worst restaurant experience of my life, EVER. The staff was not friendly/incompetent.

Don't waste your money.

Disappointment

Disappointment. Parents were visiting from out of Province and had heard an excellent review someplace, and were excited to go. Having lived here only a few months, I can't say I had ever heard of it, and after our experience, I understand why. The service was the only good thing. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was terrible for the price they were charging. My vegetables were boiled to the point the colour was almost out of them, my "lightly dusted" haddock over overdone and floppy (who messes up pan fried fish?). The seafood linguine was swimming in a tasteless white sauce. The seafood sampler was supposed to have "Tiger Shrimp" in it. They were about the size of a loonie. The seafood chowder must have been made with all frozen food because it too was tasteless and more expensive than the best chowder that I have had in the area (Henry House in Halifax). I honestly doubt that the chef bothers to taste anything he/she sends out because I wouldn't serve it to people in my own house. This is a project for Godon Ramsey. Oh... the beer was good!
