"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 hidden gem offers not only delicious, perfectly prepared seafood but also an authentic dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of the coast. The menu is a beautiful celebration of seafood, with everything from perfectly crisped fish and chips to tender lobster rolls that practically melt in your mouth. The freshness of the ingredients is immediately noticeable in each bite – you can taste the care that goes into selecting only the finest catch. The flavors are vibrant, clean, and expertly balanced. Whether you're digging into the savory scallops or savoring the juicy shrimp, every dish is a testament to what great seafood should be: simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But what really sets Ceilidh Drive In apart is the warm, welcoming personality of Ceilidh herself. She’s not just the owner; she’s the heart and soul of the restaurant. Her kindness shines through in the way she takes the time to chat with guests, ensuring everyone feels at home, and her genuine love for what she does adds an extra layer of charm to the experience. It's clear that she’s passionate about sharing her love of seafood with others, and that personal touch elevates the entire meal. If you’re looking for authentic, mouthwatering seafood with a side of kindness and great service, Ceilidh Drive In is an absolute must-visit. Every meal feels like a celebration, and Ceilidh’s hospitality makes it all the more special. This place isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a reminder of why food is such an important part of culture, community, and connection."

"Donna is such a treat to talk to. Her fish and chips were the best. We got to meet one of her regulars and you just know she’s served great food for a long time in Pictou! Thanks for your lovely company, Donna. Love from Toronto."

"Had the pleasure of meeting Donna today since moving to Stellarton. Burgers were right on the money for a drive-in - Buns were steamed and the Fries are frozen..but a great combo. Have to go elsewhere if you want something fancy - I shall return and Thank You Donna for the chat!"

"My wife and I ordered the scallop burger and chips combo. The burgers were delicious, and the fries were nice and crispy. However, the highlight of the stop was chatting with Donna as she prepared our meal. The shop is right off the highway, so it's very convenient. Come by and support a local gem. Donna is old school, so I'm not sure if she will see this, but if she does, we want to say thank you so much for the meal, and we wish you all the best."
