Go for music and people watching, not for the food
October 05, 2013

Fun place to watch the local entertainment, but don't ruin the fun by ordering food. Fish and chips is beyond the capabilities of the kitchen. My fish came out oil soaked and soggy, completely inedible. A cool place, just not a good restaurant.

not so good
September 24, 2013

We went because of a recommendation...but to be fair the recommendation was to go for the music which started at 8 pm. We were to tired from traveling, so only had our meal and left. Neither one of us liked our meal and the service was rather poor considering there were only three other tables of customers in the entire... more

Delicious lunch
July 28, 2013

We had burger and fish and chips before we boarded the ferry. Nice friendly service and good food. Weather was great so we got to eat outside on deck.

Great views
July 27, 2013

Very nice spot on the water but very old establishment. I had the lobster sandwich which didn't really taste like anything & looked like it was mixed with mayo & thousand island dressing. My husband had fish & chips.... Which were excellent & homemade fries were amazing!

The Food was OK, the Music was Awesome
July 15, 2013

The food was good if not to write home about. The musical entertainment was something to write home about indeed. Nine fiddle players, a man with a flute, another with a harmonica, a guitarist, and a lady on piano played some fine music. I don't normally eat a desert but I ordered one this time because I wanted to make... more

Good view
October 15, 2012

Arring at a busy time we had to wait with seating and afterwards we were advised that the wait will be long. So we enjoyed the view while having a stroll in the seashore garden. After a day's driving it it did us good. The food was great.

Down home cooking

October 07, 2012

We really thought we were gonna have a better dining experience. Pretty disappointed. My chicken Parmesan was fine, my husband steak looked like it was put through wringer washer, friends fish had no flavor, and other friends fries were soggy in grease and uncooked. Hope should we ever decide to visit again they will take this under advisement and offer... more

Music in a big bar with food
September 24, 2012

Thursday evenings Rollie's is the host of an open music evening. When we were there by 10pm there were 15 fiddle plays plus the piano player. The music was thrilling. Some of the players were just wonderful and others added their bit in excitment and support. It was a great experience.
The food is certainly alright.

September 13, 2012

If you are in North Sydney on a Thursday night make sure you check out this pub! The local fiddlers come by at around 8:15pm and they put on a great show!! The night we were there about 15 of them showed up including Brenda Subbert (well known Cape Breton fiddler). We were also fortunate enough to meet Otis Tomas... more

Convenient to Newfoundland Ferry
September 03, 2012

The location is ideal, a few minutes walk from the Newfoundland Ferry. The food is acceptable, with a good variety of choices (seafood, steaks, burgers) and fairly priced, but nothing special. Enjoy the view.

Was told this was a great pub restaurant . It sure has a great location , but outside it didn't look that good, and the grounds were a bit shabby . We were determined to give it a try as it was sort of suggested , but if we just drove up , likely would have passed . Now, inside... more

It's a local bar and it's a good place to spend time if you're younger. I find a lot of younger people are able to get into this place. It has some decent food, but you can ind others around the area if you really want to look around for them.

October 05, 2011

We went to Rollie's Wharf, on a Thursday night, especially to hear the Celtic music played by visiting musicians. The meals we ordered were fine, though they took quite a while to arrive, as the dining area was crowded. Eventually, the fiddlers and guitarists began, but it impossible to hear them clearly, as loud conversations continued unabated. If the pub... more

2 Very Good Meals
October 19, 2010

My wife and I recently enjoyed 2 very good meals at Rollie's -- despite our initial reluctance to go there given the other reviews posted here. We both chose stir-fry entrees at our first visit and fish and chips at the second; both meals were very good and portions were very generous. Warm gingerbread dessert with caramel sauce was OUTSTANDING.... more

Some times as many a 25 fiddle players, piano, and a host of other instruments from spoons - accordion - tap dancing in a chair! Playing jigs, reels, waltzes, etc. The range of... more

Awful seafood, would not recommend
September 01, 2009

Had steak and lobster here on my final night in Nova Scotia. Worst meal of my trip, steak was so bland and rubbery I couldn't even eat it, and if it's possible, they managed to screw up the lobster. Terrible atmosphere and terrible food.

The environment inside Rollie's is great, all wood and glass, looking over the harbor and wharf. The waitress was very friendly and the service was great.
The menu was very overpriced and the portions were small. The food wasn't that great tasting either. Salads do not come with garlic bread, which was a surprise to me because of the high... more
