Knocks Cafe — Restaurant in Sussex

My wife and I have been to knocks Cafe once before and it was great, but recently we decided to make a reservation for their fancy food night and this is how it went. We arrived to find our table ready for us, there was painted plywood in between the tables. I went to sit opposite my wife at which point our server grabbed the chair I was pulling out and told me that I would be more comfortable in the other spare chair so I was out of the way. We ordered and didn't have to wait very long for our food which I was happy to see. My wife's meal was $24 and all she got was 3 nugget sized pieces of chicken, which were unseasoned and cold, and some potatoes that seemed to come from a can. My meal was $28 and I got 3 tiny scallops, 5 cold shrimp, 6-7 plain mussels and a small amount of undercooked noodles. They then proceeded to start trying to rush us out so they could get someone without a reservation in despite us not being there very long. The server never checked on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything, and when paying she threw the machine on the table and walked away, not even waiting to see if we paid. We never saw her again and I doubt my wife and I will see the inside of this...

The waitresses were kind, understanding, and very prompt, which made the experience even better.

Since I live an hour from the nearest town, I usually bring my own lunch—but on this day I was in town for a hospital visit and finally caught this place when it was open. I’m so glad I did! I had the house-made falafel with cucumber, carrot, red cabbage, cilantro, sweet peppers, and a coconut curry dressing. It was fresh, flavorful, and such a treat. I was pleasantly surprised and will...

We drove to Sussex, NB for the afternoon to check out the 8th Hussars Regimental Museum and wanted a bite to eat after our tour. Recommended by a local, she said we should try Knocks Cafe. The patio was open and as we waited for our meal we enjoyed the details in the mural on the wall. I had ‘Ruth’s Everything Pita’ and it was everything good! The first bite, though challenging to eat daintily, was filled with bits of flavor that together made a perfect sweet-salty-crunchy bite. A tangy mustard sauce was draped over ham, cheddar, greens, tomato, and sunflower seeds among other tasty bits. A Mexican corn soup on the side filled me up. I know this is a place I’ll return to...
