Chowder House Cafe - Tatamagouche

We have been to the chowder house several times for breakfast and dinner. The fish and chips are the best around. Everything is very fresh and well presented. Nice atmosphere. I totally recommend this restaurant

Friendly staff. Fast service and great food! Absolutely no complaints! Street parking. Children's menu.

Good location, nice space. The chowder was a large serving and apparently tasted good, the Western was cool and soggy, the fish and chips were left unfinished - chips from a plastic bag and batter unpleasant. It could have been saved by decent service. One waitress - not ours - seemed friendly and attentive. We seated ourselves (the norm) and had to get our own menus. It wasn't busy. The waitress came to the table to see if we were ready to order, and came back to deliver the food. No pleasantries, no follow up to see how things were. I had to flag down the other waitress to get water. I didn't get condiments. My companion was disappointed that I left a tip at all, but it certainly wasn't what I would have normally left. Not a place I would return to, unfortunately.

The food was ok if a bit too greasy and the chowder was average. Service was really slow though. It is a very small cafe, with about 6-8 tables. Waitress kept forgetting things on our order and we had to keep reminding her to bring things.

We ventured back to Tatamagouche to pickup craft beer to bring back to Ontario with us. We needed breakfast after that!The place was packed with local retirees who all knew one another and they were having fun reminiscing and teasing one another. The atmosphere was amazing! Wish I lived there, I would go there everyday!The breakfast was delicious - two eggs anyway, bacon , ham, or sausage, toast and geometries either deep fried or pan fried with onions. We tried one of each way. Even the coffee was delicious. A very friendly place with delicious offerings.
