1. A & W
Since I went vegetarian, I sometimes miss fast food. No, really, I do. 'Cause a lot of fast food is meaterrific. Thankfully, A&W has their "Swiss veggie deluxe" burger.
Which is good. Nice to have an option. And I do love the A&W onion rings...

2. Alexandra's Pizza
I have stopped here for a slice many times. I can't speak to their delivery service; I've only picked up slices to go or to eat in.
If you've been to an Alexandra's location before, you can expect the same delicious menu items in a nice, clean space.…More »
3. Burger King
Y'know, it's a Burger King. What are you expecting?
That said, the staff have always been very friendly when I've been there. There's a playground for children.
For vegetarians, they have a veggie burger. The quality has varied; sometimes it's soft…More »
4. Cora's Breakfast & Lunch
My favourite Cora's location in Halifax.
The location may be out of the way for many but that's a plus: it's usually less busy than many of the other locations in the city. It's also just a stone's throw away from Dartmouth Crossing; you can have…More »
5. Jack Astor's Bar & Grill
Not my first choice, but a solid choice nonetheless. I recently went for lunch with a friend. Here's my experience.
First up: a warning. If you're a vegetarian (which I am) this is probably not the restaurant for you. Very limited selection. Even less…More »
6. Smitty's Family Restaurant
Halifax, NS B3H 4K8
(902) 429-1148
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (Traditional)
I'm a new convert to the Smitty's chain. I went once in my teens and had such a bad experience I swore it off for years. It's only within the last two years that I've given them another try. I've come to love them!
Why try Smitty's? It's a little…More »
7. Subway
It is what it is.
And what is it?
It's okay.
I try to judge most businesses on a relative scale. This particular Subway? It's okay. I've been to better. I've been to worse.
Staff are sufficiently friendly and fairly efficient.
The menu is the typical…More »
8. Subway
It's a good Subway. It's not great, it's not horrible, it's just good. Or, as Yelp would have me say it: It's A-OK.
Staff are friendly and fairly efficient. Ingredients are reasonably fresh. The music is ... well, sometimes it's downright strange. But…More »
9. Boston Pizza
I get that it's not "hip" to like BP. That I'm not "cool" because I eat here frequently. That I'm not "with it" because I abuse "air quotes."
But, seriously, have you tried the cactus cut potatoes? Scrumptious. They're little slices of…More »
10. Subway
Can we all just agree that M&M cookies from Subway rock? Seriously, consistently delicious (thank you, mass production!) and great as a snack or a dessert for your meal.
I've eaten in this Subway several times but I've never been overly impressed.…More »
11. Subway
It's... well, quite frankly, sometimes this place is like an alternate universe. One day you walk in and it's dead quiet and there are four staff working, all who are perky and helpful. The next day, it's insanely busy and there's only one person…More »
12. Mexicali Rosa's
I'm a late convert to Mexi's. Yeah, I'd been there scads of years ago at their old location but I wasn't a fan. Maybe I just wasn't ordering the right dishes or maybe it's improved or my tastes have changed. Who can say?
The point is, I'm a fan now…More »
13. Subway
Busy. Busy. Busy. Definitely one of the busier Subways in Halifax.
Despite what others have reported, I've never had a problem with a lack of items. But then I'm not going on a Saturday night at 4 am...
I think they've recently hired a bunch of new…More »
14. Subway
No. Just no.
For me, there are three aspects of a fast food place (and while Subway's healthy, it's still a fast food place) that are needed: knowledgeable staff, efficient service and skilled food preparation.
After eating here a few times, I can…More »
