JB's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Barrington Passage

Almost didn't get in since everything in Nova Scotia was packed and reservation only on Valentine's Day... Little lobster crawl vacation week oversight on my part.

However, Brandy was a superhero today and got my fiance and I a table 15 minutes before closing. They ran out of lobsters so I didn't get the full lobster dinner I planned this week long vacation for, but it actually worked out really well because the seafood chowder, the last remaining source of lobster in the restaurant, was absolutely mind blowing level delicious... So much so I kind of regretted getting scallops and haddock to share with the seafood platter we also ordered, since both my fiance and I got big bowls of chowder we definitely didn't need more food.

The food was great and we didn't feel rushed at all, even though I'm sure the staff were ready to leave before we got there. Thank you for making us feel at home! I had the hot chicken burger, which was delicious. Other meals were the lobster sandwich, chicken cesar salad, BLT, and haddock chowder and veggies beef soup. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We'd definitely come again if we're...
