Can't say enough good things about this food and Donna! Found her place randomly on our way to Melmerby Beach. She wrapped up our food to go and treated us to a glorious rendition of "Oh Canada". The price is right and the food was delicious (seafood platter and fish and chips). Perfectly cooked and one of the best pieces of fish I had on our trip through Nova Scotia. Thanks Donna and I hope you get to vacation soon! Cheers from the sassy Ontario girl. ?

This fixture of Blue Acres has been around for longer than I've been present on this plane of existence, so it's with deep shame that I admit that it was only this spring that I tried it for the first time.While looking for a quick lunch on a sunny Saturday, I was right behind a few other people who just got their food as I was ordering, putting me at the front of the queue.Owner and sole staff member Donna guided me through the highlights of her menu and I settled on the hamburger platter.Several minutes of wonderfully pleasant chit chat with Donna followed while I watched her prepare my food like a well-oiled machine.My food was soon ready, coming tightly packed on a heaped paper plate for me to eat in my car, although you can get it secured for a trip home or elsewhere. The crinkle cut fries, while unsurprisingly from a bag, were spot on, with shatteringly crisp exteriors and light, fluffy interiors. The burger was diner-style par excellence - steamed bun; a beefy, hand-made, griddle-cooked patty; melty cheese; sauteed onions, and some bite from mustard and relish. I should have nixed the ketchup to dial back the sweetness, but this was still a great little burger.A cup of house-made coleslaw was of the creamy variety, but still had a bit of tang to it, which helped cut through the rich meal a little bit.On my return visit, I went with the fish and chips. While it's a box that a lot of restaurants feel they have to check, and they do so poorly with from-frozen, pre-battered fish, I heard that Donna batters it in-house, so I was looking forward to trying it.This was a very good order of F&C. The batter was light and airy, and the two-piece was a good amount of food, with the pieces like the half filets that you'll see around, rather than the one gargantuan piece of fish that pubs often have for shock value.The fish was firm, but tender and flakey and I don't know if tartar sauce was forgotten or isn't offered, but I truly just enjoyed the fish on its own.Ceilidh Drive-In is among a dying breed of old school greasy spoons that do the simple stuff well, and while it took me a while to get there, it won't be long before I'm back.

Best take out spot in Pictou County / Northumberland. Locals love this place. Seafood platter and scallop hamburger was amazing! Lots of room for free parking too!

Who does not love a good ole fashion cheese burger.. well your in luck the owner makes a basic homemade cheese burger that is simple but excellent. Well worth the stop the lady who owns and runs it had been there forever. She makes it easy not to want to cook and grab a cheese burger and fries on the way home from anywhere.Parking: Never had a problem fibding a place to park.

Looks like a dive but the owner puts out first class burgers and onion rings. Worth a visit.

Old-school burger and fish and chips shack done right! Friendly staff with small town charm. This little take out spot is a hidden gem. You will find your staples like burger and fries and fish and chips and milkshakes. As well as seafood specialities like seafood platters and scallop burgers and more! Simple comfort food at it's best!

Aside from no ice cream in the milkshake just milk and vanilla extract which made it disgusting.. I had a hamburger platter, wife had 2 piece fish and chips both were great.
