Captain Kat's has a story to tell. It's one about loss, and a love that lasts in spite of grief and doubt and pain. It's about memory, and the battle between how it can make you embittered as it holds you back, or transform you into a better person as you move forward. It's about the choices we make, and how they shape us into the people we become, the people we are remembered as. Captain Kat's story is personal and universal, one that can stay with you forever or leave you the instant you step out of the Lobster Shack.Captain Kat's also has food, and lots of it. On our trip to Nova Scotia, we heard that Barrington was the lobster capital of Canada, and the place to go to in Barrington was Captain Kat's Lobster Shack. Marketing ploy or not, we love lobster so had to go.And we loved it. I'll get this out of the way and say the prices are eye-popping expensive (not sure if that was always the case or because of the inflation we're experiencing now). But if you want to treat yourself, this was a really good meal - excellent 5-star quality food amidst an almost-kitschy diner decor. We got:- Catch of the Day: A 1.25 pound steamed lobster that had some of the freshest, juiciest, creamiest lobster meat I've ever had. I would have loved it even without all the melted butter it was bathed in. The side mashed potato was properly creamy and the side salad was outstanding (forgot what the dressing was, but it was uniquely tarty and cut well through all the butter). They winkingly refer to this as a tourist favourite" on their menu to acknowledge how expensive it is.- Causeway Creamed Lobster: We passed on their lobster roll (which apparently was awarded winning) to get this. It's basically chunks of lobster on toast

Delicious food and friendly service! I really appreciate the vegetarian options. My husband is not vegetarian and specifically wanted fresh fish, so I am glad there were delicious options for me as well :)

The best lobster roll I have ever had. Great brioche type roll and lots of fresh sweet lobster. The coleslaw was house made and the fries were yummy too. Cannot wait to go Back!

Came from Alberta to see what all the hype was about and it lived up to it! The lobster roll was bursting with large chunks of fresh lobster from Canada's lobster capital in EVERY BITE the roll itself is buttery and fluffy and local! The mussles were so frsh and I've never seen dipping them in butter before but I'll tell you. I am here for it! The fish cakes were like delicious mashed potatoes with nice hearty chuncks of fresh fish fried golden brown with a delicious and perfectly complimentary relish chutney. Absolutely worth the trip!!!! Incredible food. Thank you!

Had a very nice experience at Captain Kats. Got there half hour before they closed but they welcomed us in and sat us down. I ordered the halibut in a butter lemon sauce and rice and a salad it was very good and filling. Would recommend Captain Kats if in area for sure.

Only 2 gripes, one I'd say is minor and the other sort of the second most important part of dining out... I gave a good rating despite the major issue as it was pretty tasty regardless.Minor gripe: My lobster was overcooked just enough so that it was sticking to the inside of the shell and the white parts that are inedible. Made it impossible to eat it efficiently and I left plenty in the hard to reach spots I'd have otherwise been able to suck out or use the tiny fork to retrieve.Major gripe: $85 for a lobster in the heart of lobster season is quite frankly insulting... I chose to try this place knowing it is the only place in the Canadian lobster capital of Barrington with lobster as it's primary focus and as its namesake... yet this restaurant is literally charging 4 times the price of Rudder's in Yarmouth and most of the other places my fiance and I have tried on this week long lobster season holiday. Despite my high rating I am truly disappointed in the experience I had here due to the pricing... When informing locals at other restaurants of what we paid at captain Kats, everyone has the jaw dropping" reaction as they believe

Convenient location as we stayed in Baccaro. Seafood was good, but they offer other options. The place was busy when we arrived. Service was friendly and efficient. Recommend the haddock & lobster bake. Disappointing that they ran out of draft when we were there! Local beer & wine available. Wish they had a patio!

Quick service, nice servers, and themed lobster decors all around. We ordered the half clam and half fish with chips as well as the creamed lobster on a roll with a side of fries. The food was good, but not memorable. Good-sized parking lot in the plaza. I recommend getting a reservation on the weekends as they had asked whether we had a reservation when we went on Friday night.

Awesome food and even better service. Had the lobster chowder and salad one day and the fried clams the next day. You cannot leave without getting a peanut butter pie. I had one at the restaurant and one to go. Cavell was our service and she was awesome. Friendly and very attentive
