The Freight Shed: Waterside Bistro & Market

The Freight Shed is a popular waterfront restaurant in Baddeck, Nova Scotia known for its fresh seafood, scenic views, and casual yet lively atmosphere. Positive aspects include delicious seafood dishes like lobster rolls and chowder, knowledgeable staff, and gluten-free options. However, some reviews mention inconsistent food quality, high prices for certain dishes, occasional slow service, and a potentially crowded, noisy environment. While service and food experiences can vary, it's a well-regarded option, especially for its waterfront location and quality fresh ingredients, though reservations might be beneficial during busy periods.

We went for supper with my parents to the Freight Shed at the Terrace. It was disappointing. The lighting was too dark to read the menu. I used the flashlight on my phone. There were very few gluten free options so…My daughter and I ordered mussels for two. My Dad ordered a seafood pasta dish. My Mom and husband got fish and chips. We waited almost an hour and a half for our food. No one came to check in with us during that wait. We contemplated leaving because we thought we were forgotten. Then the food finally came. The fries were so over cooked some couldn’t be eaten. The fish was cooked a little too long also. The bun that came with our mussels was supposed to be gluten free. Maybe, but it didn’t sit well with my girl. My Dad loved his pasta though. It could have been a rough night for their staff, I don’t know. I have no desire to return.
