The new owners are doing a great job. The food is delicious and the coffee is great. All backed up with super friendly service. Just enjoyed a full breakfast with delicious crispy bacon and all the extras. My wife had an excellent breakfast sandwich for under $7. Perfect. Will definitely be back very soon. Very highly recommended.

We were really disappointed with our overall experience. We arrived with only 2 other tables of 2 people seated in the restaurant. One was already served. It took 55 minutes for our burger and fries and chicken strips and fries to arrive at the table. The fries were cold and soggy, soaked with grease. The burger and chicken strips were very bland. Equally as disappointing was that a table that arrived 25 minutes after us was served food 10 minutes before ours arrived. We were looking forward to trying the food here after seeing several Facebook posts and this was a let down. The restaurant itself is small so it’s difficult for them to do anything about this but it was also freezing with the door opening and closing. Staff were nice to us but pretty short, no apology for the long wait time, a bit rude over the phone to someone trying to order, and a bit noisy talking to each other. Both of us did not finish our food and feel sick 10 minutes after leaving. Photo attached of the fries – honestly I think they look better in this photo than they did in person.

A good friend and I stopped by The Stretch Diner today. We were greeted by Trudy who welcomed us like old friends and seated us at a great table. Menus and drinks were presented in short order and we both asked for the recommended clams and chips. My friend asked for a piece of fried haddock as well.
Our meals arrived a few minutes later and we were simply astonished by the mountain of goodness that appeared before us! The first bite was even better! These were, without doubt, the best clams we have ever tasted!
The hand cut fries and crispy battered fish were second to none! Great and ample Cole slaw and tartar sauce topped it off!
The unbelievable clams are fresh shucked on site and they are the pinnacle of goodness!
I don’t think this place can be beat, and I have sought out the best clams in Nova Scotia for years! This is it!!
Fabulous service, amazing food and a fun 50s diner vibe plus the adorable Trudy add up to The Stretch being The Best!

Excellent food. The owner has just taken over and they don’t have a full menu or full service yet. Time will tell. It was cold in the restaurant but, to be fair, it is off-season and they are just getting started. The food was surprisingly very good. The spring rolls were perfectly cooked and had a light spice to them. You don’t need dipping sauce with them, they are that good. You have a choice between deep fried or pan fried scallops and we chose pan fried. They were perfectly cooked; not over or under done.

I think as they get more experience and get better set up with a full menu, this will be a destination for good seafood and any other food they add to their menu.

I would recommend this place even with the hiccups. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Ordered burger(the james dean) and husband had fish and chips, both very delicious and reasonably priced. Service is amazing, friendly staff and place will give you old school diner vibes. Felt like we discovered a hidden gem with this one.

We had an excellent experience at The Stretch Diner! From the moment we walked in, it was clear that the owner, Todd, takes real pride in his restaurant and it truly shows. The diner was spotless, the atmosphere welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond with their friendliness and quick service.

The food was the real highlight. The fish was fresh, never frozen, and you could taste the difference right away. The batter was perfectly crisp without that heavy fishy taste some places have, and the homemade tartar sauce was absolutely delicious. Our onion rings were crispy and golden, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy.

Another thing we noticed was how quickly everything came out, despite being freshly made. It’s rare to find that balance of speed and quality, but The Stretch Diner nails it.

If you’re looking for classic diner comfort food done right, with fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a team that cares about their customers…this is the place to go. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

We were greeted and waited on immediately. We ordered one piece fish and chips. It arrived quickly, piping hot and very tasty. The fish was fresh and crisp, served with home fries and a nice little side of coleslaw. I really enjoyed the selection of oldies music that was playing. Unfortunately, they were out of their chowder, but we’ll be back to try it next time!
