2 Doors Down Food & Wine Dartmouth

After a long day of shopping we stopped by for lunch. One of the first places we've eaten at in Nova Scotia, after moving from BC. We were pleasantly surprised at both the proportions and the quality of a west coast classic like a shrimp taco. Don't let the Californians know you have them beat.

My dish was the Scallop & Tomato Spaghettini, again I have to say I was blown away but the depth of flavor and how wonderfully well grilled the scallops were on the outside.

The First Frost cider made a perfect pairing for this hot August afternoon.

You'll find the staff here has hustle and kindness in them, lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Don’t be fooled by the unpretentious outside albeit with a nice patio, the foods great and service was excellent. I had the vegetarian noodle soup and my husband had the pork chop with glaze. Desserts were excellent - great Angel cake berry dessert and ice cream sandwich got a big thumbs up from the ice cream addict. Two thumbs up from me for the great selection of iconic music which will have you tapping along.

One of the best veggie burgers I've ever had! Unique flavours and the topping combo was perfect. And the fries were super crispy and delicious. Service was excellent as well!

Our first visit to 2 Doors Down was during Burger Week. It was a pleasant surprise that they actually had four options to choose from! My husband and I both opted for The Smokehouse. I was a bit disappointed that at 5pm they were already sold out of onion rings - I had been so excited to try them. However, I did end up having their tomato basil soup and it was excellent - I would go back for that soup alone. For $10 on the menu, I do hope it's a bit larger of a serving as a stand alone item (vs a side to a burger). My husband said this was the best burger of burger week so far (we've tried four already). The smoke flavour in the bacon is unbelievable and the balance of flavours is spot on. Service was relatively fast for a busy Friday night - our server was very friendly, just busy. We weren't able to get their attention to get refills on our beverages but that's not a deal breaker for us. Their burgers are $19-$21 which includes a side which we felt was very reasonable for the quality. We will definitely return another time to try out their regular menu!

On a whim AND during Burger Week, friends and I landed here for lunch after some shopping. I loved the Halifax location so I knew this one would be equally amazing... and we were not disappointed. Great food (never miss out on your chance to have their famous biscuits!), great service, and happy with the Covid protocols in place. We will be back again soon to check out more items on the menu.
