The Pirate - Woodstock

This is just another fast food restaurant. The seafood selections are OK but could be better with larger portions. I have had the lobster roll & was not impressed. Lots of lobster but very dry; could use a little more mayo or better still, cold slaw dressing? The fish & chips are good but, again, a little larger portions would be better. There is no table service so if you are looking to be waited on, better to try somewhere else.

This is the third Pirate restaurant, the other two are in Edmundston NB. I've been to the new one (in the building that housed the former Log Cabin Restaurant) twice now and wouldn't really hurry to return. They call themselves “The King of Lobster Rolls” and their good-sized roll is a relative bargain at $9 for one, $17 for two. The roll was generously stuffed and nicely toasted but I found the lobster meat virtually tasteless -- might as well have eaten fake crab. On my previous visit, I tried the fish and chips and again the fish was quite tasteless although the fresh-cut fires were good. Counter service was lackluster the first time, friendly the second time although I never did get the promised answer to a question I had posed. Normally I would say "let's give them time" but as they already have two other locations, I guess that's as good as they get. I'd rather pay more for a great tasting lobster roll in nearby Maine. Too bad.

Although the restaurant is clean and spacious, the portion sizes were much smaller compared to the Westmount location that I usually visit.

Sushi Shop is fantastic and not your typical fast-food sushi place with stale, pre-made sushi.

I am quite particular about sushi and recently tried Sushi Shop downtown on a whim - it's surprisingly good for a cafeteria-style restaurant.
