Salt Shaker Deli & Inn

“ We had a great dinner of the scallops linguine, shrimp Pad Thai noodles, cheesy crab dip, and beet salad. Our server, Ben, was attentive, friendly, efficient, timely, and professional. The restaurant's rustic decor was warm and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Highly recommended! ”

“ Only went to their restaurant. Great food. Fresh and big lobster pieces in the lobster roll. The bun is big enough to carry everything and doesn’t have crumb falling when eating. Also recommended the clam soup, but personally suggesting to be a bit more creamy would bring out the flavour out! ”

“ During our stay in Rose Bay, we drove into Lunenburg three nights in a row to have dinner. We were never disappointed. In fact, some of the best food! We had the smoked penne, chowder, tomato soup, pizza, sausage rigatoni, fish cakes and the salmon risotto. Small and quaint! Great food- great atmosphere! We loved the Salt Shaker Deli! ”

“ We had an incredible dinner here- it’s easy to see why the place was packed! We had the burger special (with an amazing garlic aioli), the pesto chicken pizza, and the best desserts. The chocolate cheesecake with raspberry honey sauce was rich and smooth. The cherry chocolate trifle though?? Life changing experience. I’ll be trying to recreate that for sure. Absolutely delicious food, great service, and an excellent vibe. ”

“ Recommended by a relative, and Salt Shaker lived up to expectations! For lunch, we had their Lobster Roll (28) and added on potato wedges (6) and a cup of chowder (10). The lobster was abundant and filled out the toasted homemade roll. Very hearty meal! The cup of seafood chowder was creamy and had a good variety of seafood (shrimp, scallops, clams) and vegetables. We can see why it's won local awards for best chowder! Service was friendly. Quite pricey for a lunch, but we found eateries in the area to be comparable. It's a town that relies on tourists, but the quality of food is there! ”

“ A lovely boutique hotel with old school charm. Be prepared for a walk up 20 steps as there is no elevator. Awesome view of the Lunenburg harbour Parking can be a challenge as you are in an old village that wasn’t designed for a lot of traffic. We easily found parking a block away. Food at the Deli was very very good and the friendly service kept a smile on our face. ”

“ Visited this quaint, homey spot during a non-busy hour, and it made all the difference—peaceful atmosphere and attentive service. Tried their lobster roll, and I was impressed! The generous filling and large chunks of lobster paired beautifully with the perfectly toasted bun. The hamburger was also a highlight—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. A great experience overall, and I’d definitely recommend stopping by, especially when it’s quiet! ”

“ Hands down the best bowl of seafood chowder I ever had in my life! I want the recipe. The spinach salad was also worthy of amazing mention. The service was earnest and friendly. Highly, highly recommend. The iced tea was nice and refreshing. ”
