Restaurant

We were disappointed with our first order on Oct 19 because when we got home our pizza wasn't cooked. We decided to give it another try and our second order was excellent. Thank you making it right😊

My family of four stopped by this restaurant to have dinner a couple of weeks ago. Upon entering the restaurant, the overall decor was ‘trendy’ with a lot of the trimmings using wood products to give a rustic down-home feel. The special of the evening was the all-you-can-eat poutine bar that allowed for customization of you own poutine with a number of toppings. While standing by the “please wait to be seated” sign, I felt ignored and waited...along with others who just entered for an inordinate amount of time. Instead of an organized pattern of efficiency, I encountered some folks chatting with leaving customers for long periods, limited wait staff working their legs off trying to meet the sitting customer’s needs, and an ever increasing line up of new patrons entering and waiting for seating as well. A disturbing observation while waiting was the substantial delay of newly cooked fries for the poutine bar to keep up with patrons using this selection. Once seated, a wonderful young waitress came to serve us and leave us with the menus to peruse. There seemed to be another trend contained within...the challenge in pricing foods appropriately to the local market. This restaurant is not a brand-name franchise, but chose to use the same pricing structure as those locations...with limited offerings for younger clients...and commanding substantial markups for additions (such as a protein) to various items (such as nachos). I went with a old standby of pulled pork, my wife went with meatless nachos (didn’t want to pay the up charge) one kid went with poutine entree (not the bar) and the other went with fries...he wasn’t really hungry. The waitress was quick to get drinks and returned in a reasonable time with food in hand. During our wait I observed interactions with the wait staff and the person who appeared to be in charge and there were definitely more orders handed out rather than pitching in to give a helping hand in the bustling restaurant. The food review: nachos were ok, but the price point was the same... if not more then what is paid at the Irving Big Stop...and lacked protein. The pulled pork was reasonably good, but came with this ‘trendy’ little bucket with a handful of fries...really??? Fries are cheap and a way to fill up a plate to make it appear you’re getting a lot of food for your dollar. All-in-all, this is a poor replacement for the former Holly’s restaurant that used to occupy this location that provided a delicious selection of entrees and amazing desserts. I feel too much show and display is being used to make up for over-priced, small-serving sized pub-fare. I hope that management can use this as constructive feedback to improve the menu...either through pricing, or value...and pay attention to things that matter. Get rid of the French fry buckets!

Excellent local place for great food and atmosphere

Great service and awesome food. They dont generally have as wide a selection or combos as the city stores

Awesome food

Worst service we ever got. They never get our order right, they were rude to 2 elderly ladies, and they were trying to argue with us when we told them they got our order wrong saying we never asked for certain things when we did. Oh and they gave our order to someone else so we then had to wait another half hour before we got our pizza.

Tonight we stopped at Pizza Delight in Elmsdale, N.S. We were deciding as a family where to go and eat for dinner as there were other options, needless to say, my husband won and we went to this location. This was the worst service of all! It started from the time we ordered. They were busy but our waitress Jessica was totally not taking care of our concerns. We ordered our drinks and 20 minutes later when they arrived at our table they were wrong. Really, how difficult is 2 cokes and one sprite? She finally gave us new ones. My husband ordered a super donair with no onions. perfect! Daughter ordered spaghetti and meatballs. She received seafood jambalya. Had to return it. I ordered the nacho and pizza combo. Pizza was supposed to have ground beef, bacon, and green peppers on it. Nachos were requested without the barbeque sauce. I received a pepperoni pizza with onions and nachos with the sauce. Totally not the dishes we ordered! No cutlery was given, so we actually had to help ourselves from another table. Our waitress (Jessica) never came back to offer any refill on drinks, ask how our meal was, or give my daughter any parmesan cheese for her spaghetti. She did at the end offer me 50% off of my meal only. In total the bill was $45.00 with the discount. I will not return to this location again. The service was definitely not there tonight and the excuse given was that they were busy? So I guess for all those thinking of stopping by Elmsdale for a bite to eat at this location, you better check to see if they are busy first before ordering or you may just get some random meal and no service from the staff! Would not recommend this location for your dining pleasure. Tonight was not acceptable.

It's always a pleasure to come to 2nd home cafe and grill for a bite to eat and catch up with old friends, I have been told by many of the patrons that it's like coming home.

Tastey food, staff know what they are doing, clean and bright place to eat..

Great food and service. One of the best places around. Expect waiting times around supper time.

Love the food, love the portions. The desserts are to die for! Cream puffs and whoopie pies as big as your head! Everyone should try this place at least once in their life.

Awesome service
