Barb's Family Diner

Miss this place. Pictou County is not the same without it and nothing can compare to the excellent service, amazing food, and downhome atmosphere. I’d die for the famous fish tips rn.

Took my husband and mother for supper on Sunday to Barb's Family Diner. Although it is a busy spot, the food was fast, hot and delicious. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. I got the cheeseburger and it was a generous (read HUGE) homemade patty, with a toasted bun. My mother got the fish tips and ended up sharing them with my husband, they both agreed that it was the best fish they'd had in a while. We finished with some Sticky Toffee cake (can't remember the exact name), but it was to die for. A large portion that we were able to split, it was warm and so tasty.

No pictures this time, it was too good to stop for.

A great little diner that holds a special place in my heart, as my aunts all ran it under the MacLeods banner in the 1990s. Just as good now as it was then! I will be back for sure!

Visiting friends in Caribou River, we decided to go out for breakfast. They found this gem in an ad in a local paper. As they had been there several times, we decided to go there and arrived around 9:30am. We managed to get the second last table in the small and very popular restaurant. Our server was very patient with us, as the breakfast menu had a good assortment, which made it hard to choose. The coffee was just the way I like it, hot but not bitter. The meals arrived promptly and were too good to share. Fish cakes were a good size and very flavourful. Don't forget to order some chow! Cheese omelette and scrambled eggs were nice and fluffy! Home fries and toast just the way they should be. They are only open Wednesday to Sunday. Check their website for their hours. If there other menu is as good as the breakfast menu, it is well worth paying them a visit.
