Frieze & Roy General Store

On a recent visit I was very impressed with the friendly staff. I found everything I was looking for. It wasn't until I got home discovered that the pizza we got was the best I have had in Nova Scotia. Ever.Ten out of five stars.

Had a wonderful dinner this evening at Frieze & Roy. About 20 of us gathered for a private dinner party. We were served a very nice pulled pork dinner with homemade garlic bread, roasted potatoes, squash & cold slaw, all in very large portion and amazing taste. This was followed by a desert of a generous serving of blueberry cheese cake, vanilla ice cream and a fruit compote served in a boat shaped dish. We were seated within COVID19 guidelines & served by courteous staff in a timely fashion. Before leaving the owner came out to thank us & invite us to return. Return we shall it was a very good experience. This is an historic building serving the community since 1836, not posh but a great place to stop for a lunch or supper. It has a liquor franchise shop within and should be able to add wine to their menu in the near future. Or if you forgot your beverage for your picnic stop here & pick one up.

Great little store. Troy, the owner, was absolutely delightful. We didn’t get to eat at his Mud Slide Cafe (he can’t find cook that’ll work on Monday’s) so we were a little disappointed. The ratings for this cafe are almost all five out of five. Wish we could have dined there! Oh well...next time. Be sure to give this general store a visit. Well worth the stop.

Stopped for supper at this out in the middle of the country restaurant, and were surprised by the friendly staff, great ambiance, wonderful food and cute little country store! Probably the best fish and chips on my 11 day visit to Nova Scotia! Got to visit if you are in the area or up at Burntcoat Park!

Love these kinds of local country convenience stores. They have local products and are located on a very pretty part of he province. Unlike what a previous reviewer said, I don’t think this is a “desolate” place at all. The landscape here is really beautiful in the summer and no place is beautiful in the winter. They have a café and books as well.

STOP AND EAT HEREDo yourself a favour and be sure to stop here for the fish and chips. They are very good. Jay told my wife and I that he had a new crispy batter and wanted our opinion. The batter was very light and crispy. It retained its crispiness until the last bite disappeared. The fries were very good (not frozen). The price was very reasonable as well. Jay was very pleasant and outgoing, we had. A nice chat when we told him how much we enjoyed our lunch, we sat a table outside overlooking the water. Of course we couldn’t just have fish and chips, we went for the ice cream as well, 12 flavours and also soft serve available. Extremely generous portions were given.This is a stop worth making.

The food is decent but the wait is horrible my kids went to get icecream and said the people in the back were talking and not working we’ve been waiting for 2 hours for a chicken sandwich come here if you have time

Everyone was So so nice here. They made us feel so welcome and their fish and chips were spectacular. Great fries, coleslaw, and tartar sauce as well.Ice cream place next door was awesome too!

A little bit of everything. Quaint local store with friendly staff. Cold beer or hot coffee. The store sweaters they sell are cozy for when it cools down at night.Support a longstanding local business on the historical Glooscap trail. Beautiful views from the back lot as well.As for the previous review about the prices, I've gone to Circle K's that cost more, and you aren't supporting a small town in that case.Thank you for your service!

Imagine a looooooong road with nowhere else to stop, except a location highly recommended by Burntcoat head parks website. This is it. Didn't use the restaurant just the store. It's basically like your workplace vending machine but in a store format, also because there is barely any service. If prepackaged sandwiches are your thing, this is the place for you! It's like walking into the set of the acclaimed show Corner Gas, without the laughs or good times. Be prepared to overspend on this place as they know they are a last resort" on this road"
