Reviews - The Fourth Lock
Reviews summary
Nestled alongside Thompson Lake in Fall River, this local restaurant offers an inviting ambiance and commendable service, making it a go-to destination for many diners. While most patrons enjoy the delicious food and friendly staff, critiques have emerged regarding inconsistent quality—particularly with their chicken wings and fish and chips, which some found lacking in flavor and preparation. The outdoor terrace shines in warmer months, providing stunning views. Despite some noise and parking challenges, the restaurant's charm and diverse menu, alongside a solid cocktail selection, leave guests looking forward to return visits. Reservations are recommended for peak times.

I had so many fantastic dinners here in the fourth closed, I can't say how much I love the owners, employees and eating. I haven't been to lunch yet, I'm looking forward to going out on the terrace that. Learn more View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about The Fourth Lock:
We made reservations a week ago for the inside of the restaurant. One of my friends arrived first and they sat her at our table inside. Then within 15minutes told her she had to move because the table was reserved. She said yes, I reserved it. Then told her no this is “so and so table” (won’t say name out of respect for them) and this is is always… See more View all feedback.

The restaurant is amazing!! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5
My husband and I visited this establishment last night and we were blown away! The atmosphere and service can’t be matched on this side of the bridge. We had an amazing dessert and a free delicious peach samplers. We are foodies and the selection and variety of entrees is exceptional! It has a Gibbys and Pressgang feel to it and it’s only minutes from our home! Very impressed and we look forward to many more nights! Thanks, Olu Rooms: 5
Been coming here for dinners a few times a month for the past 4 years. It’s a guaranteed great time. The ambience, food and service is excellent every time. Cannot say enough good things about it. Best to make a reservation. Parking lot gets full, lots of extra parking at Fall River Place (1 min walk). Thanks to the team for ensuring such a great experience. Rooms: 5
One of the worst service experiences we have ever had . We were there for 1hour and 75 min before we received any food! We booked early, it was a big celebration with the family 8 adults 6 kids ages 9 months to 8 years They sat us in the holding room as you walk in the restaurant That was fine but then sat two unsuspecting souls at the one other table . All would have been fine if we were served but instead they chose to serve that couple and allow us to struggle to entertain everyone to keep them happy as they were starved and Im not just saying kids! It went from bad to worse No follow up on the drinks, gave us the bill before kids got their ice cream .I could go on To add insult yo injury no one even apologized. Honestly I felt so bad for the couple on a date night sitting the room with us I spoke to the server and mentioned she should comp them a drink . You are a community restaurant We live in this community We were thrilled to get a chance to try your restaurant You can be sure we will not go again and I will spread the word what a terrible experience it was . Really too bad it would n’t have taken much for the manager to right this wrong. That says something right there. Management didn't care!!
This is the second time we've been ans the food was fantastic. Love all the gluten free options and knowledge of the staff on what they can do to accommodate. The parking is a bit of a challenge but it is so worth it to deal with that all the same. Service: 5 Location: 3

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious, and we had a wonderful time. We were fortunate to discover this place just 10 km from the airport. The owner truly went out of their way to ensure we all had a great experience.
I had a fantastic dining experience at a charming local restaurant in Fall River. The owners, food, staff, and the view of Thompson Lake from the patio all exceeded my expectations. I absolutely loved the service and the delicious food!
My friends and I went out for dinner on Saturday evening. The service and food were outstanding. I highly recommend this place. We ordered the charcuterie board to start, which was...

Great food! Excellent beer choices and nachos are sooo good!Food drinks: Excellent choices and great food
Amazing meal and the service was top notch. First time there and would love to go again someday. Thank you so much!
We had a very nice dinner on site! Perfect service, friendly and fast! Very good quality of the food. We enjoy the night in site with drinks and food. We have a small but really mixed card from meat to fish and Vegi.
A perfect weekend break outside the city in a beautiful cottage country. The accommodation is great, the rooms are clean, spacious and bright. The restaurant offers amazing food, everything tasted great and they have a large selection of beers. The staff is the best, they advise and help you with anything. I definitely recommend coming for the whole weekend or longer.
We were visiting the area from NB and the fourth lock was recommended by our host. The decor and ambiance was excellent and the host has us promptly seated. Our waitress was also great and got us our drinks and food fast. It was a busy night with almost the whole place full. The cocktails were really nice and we enjoyed them. We ordered the fried calamari to start. It came with an arrabiata sauce which was very nice and had the perfect balance of heat. The calamari itself was under seasoned and needed more salt.For the main course I had the duck with a risotto. The duck was perfectly medium. And tasted devine. The risotto was al dente, but a bit stodgy at the same time I would have preferred it a little looser) my partner has the seafood pasta which was also quite good. Overall, I would come back.

Great food, always satisfied, no matter what we order. great service, the staff are friendly and always make them feel like family. if they didn't try to reserve them today.
The food and staff are fabulous, it's our regular weekend stop when we can. My father would not have us take him anywhere else when he comes to Halifax. This place is a destination, if you are in or around the area stop in for great food and service every time. Spring and summer when the deck is open the view is awesome and the beer is cold. We are confident taking anyone here anytime.
Great eating and cozy atmosphere! very helpful for all our nutritional needs! very recommended.
