Lockside Canteen by Lemon Dogs - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

It was raining so it was a quick stop but my grilled cheese was delicious and the lemonade & popsicle was awesome!

Me and my girlfriend tried Lemon Dogs for the first time, months ago. My gf is a vegetarian and wanted to give the burgers a try, since this place is vegetarian/vegan based. I will be honest, I didn't think that I would like a veggie burger (big lover of meat ... over here) but wanted to try for her. So, my gf ordered the Vegetarian Smash Burger and I ordered the TBLT Burger (sides: carrots w/ dairy free dip & chips w/queso). Boy oh boy, were we in for an amazing surprise! After I took the first bite of mine, I was so shocked that the patty wasn’t meat. I’m actually still mind blown that meatless burgers can taste so freaking great! It was and still is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. My gf absolutely loved hers as well and we both agreed that the flavour combinations are fantastic. The TBLT: Impossible patty on a buttery, toasted sesame bun with marinated smoked tofu bacon, tomato, shrettuce, "bacon" bits and smokey pepper mayo. — The smoked tofu and Smokey pepper mayo really help to bring all of the flavours together! Vegetarian Smash: Impossible patty on a buttery toasted sesame bun with american cheese, pickles, white onion, shrettuce and house smashsauce.— This has become one of my gf’s go to’s! Since the first time we experienced Lemon Dogs, we’ve gone back many more times and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is over the top excellent, and the atmosphere is great! They also do weekend specials which I think is amazing because it allows customers to try many different burgers that are not always featured on the regular menu. On their 10th birthday celebration weekend they featured their Nashville Hot Mushroom Sandwich and OMG it was out of this world!! I still think about it lol. They also have delicious drinks including their fresh pressed fizzy lemonades which are my favourite. They even make their own handmade freebies and popsicles! If you ever want to try some awesome burgers, or are someone who is looking for great vegetarian/vegan options; THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! Bonus: Its also located at the beautiful Shubie Park. So, it’s a great way to end your walk or time adventuring in the kayaks. Read more

Visited Halifax from Toronto, where there is an abundance of vegetarian and vegan restaurants, however this is by far the best vegetarian burger I've ever had. The raspberry lemonade float was also delicious!! They were also serving a vegan cake for their 10th birthday and I'm not really sure how ... they made the butter cream but it was amazing 😍.

Disappointed with this place. They ran out of the kind of tacos I wanted to order and then when they did arrive they were disappointingly small. I know the hype about this place is great, but I wasn't overly impressed. Service took forever. We had to wait almost 15 minutes ... for the drinks to arrive alone, and then another 15 for the food. It's just tacos folks. How long does it take? I won't be back. It's the only food place in Shubie Park though, so that is a bonus. Beautiful park. Read more

What a wonderful small business with a unique idea! The food was delicious and fairly priced, for hand pressed made-to-order tacos. The service was great and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely come back to this gem again and again. Did I mention that the tacos we had were to ... die for? I had the chicken tacos and my fiancé had one chorizo and one chicken and he also loved them. We are really looking forward to trying out all the different types they offer with their rotating menu. My only feedback would be to provide sorting garbage cans - no point in having compostable plates and cups if they’re just going into the park’s regular garbage; but this is a minor fix! Read more
