Brookside Take Out

The losbter roll was good. Both the crab and lobster roll was generous. Do not get the fried clams, just tasted like deep fried breading, no clam flavour.

Great roadside takeout, picnic style. Lucky we had cash, no debit, but it was quick, delicious, decent price. My bacon burger and poutine were great and my brother's fish and chips was also delicious. Will be back!

My partner and I stopped here for dinner one evening, having no great expectation. We were rewarded with the most generous lobster rolls we’ve had in Cape Breton so far, at the best price.

Very good experience.Great food, good service, fresh sea food, nice portions. Best bang for your buck. Would definitively go again.

You MUST stop here! We stopped in after arriving in the area a little bit later at night after a long day of travel. The lobster rolls were AMAZING and we got a side order of fries which were also SO good; not greasy at all and super fresh. Definitely recommend!!

First of all, calling this place “fast food” is an injustice. This needs to be distinguished from the likes of TacoBell and Wendy’s. This is a small local joint run by some hard working ladies that deliver on quality.This was the only place that was open when we checked in to our cabin. I needed something different from poutine which I’d tired from. I love seafood but I never liked lobster. I figured what the heck because the lady said they just hauled in the lobster the previous day. So we got a lobster roll and fish & chips. Jesus Christ that lobster roll was one of the most succulent treats I ever had. There was nothing else special about it- just some mayo and a bit of lettuce. But fresh lobster literally eclipsed everything else. I can’t have it any other way now.Yes this place is cash only but there’s a Scotia bank just down the street. This probably has the latest business hours so that’s another boon if you’re stuck late.

So happy every other restaurant was closed when we arrived in the area - it lead us to this incredible place. We had the lobster roll platter and it was the best lobster roll I've ever eaten. It was one of the best meals we've had while on our trip to Nova Scotia. The women working we're very kind and quick to get us our dinner.

My wife & arrived at our lodging the other day & wanted something quick & casual so stopped here. We ordered a burger, lobster roll & small poutine, all ready within 15 minutes. The burger wasn't anything special, but the lobster roll was LEGIT - the Cape Breton restaurant scene could take some lessons from Brookside - fill your rolls with more lobster meat than mayo/celery & make it taste fresh & wonderful for less the cost! Like previous reviews have stated, no curds in the poutine but that didn't stop us from devouring it & the 'small' was more than enough for two people. The lady taking our order was friendly. We would definitely stop here again.

Great food and service! They are open late and the place had people coming until closing time.We had the lobster roll, donair bites and seafood platter. Seafood was lightly breaded with a tasty crunchy breading. I usually don’t like fried food too much but this was delicious and not too greasy. Everything tasted homemade and was done with care. Prices were reasonable too. Cash only.
