Chafe's Landing Restaurant

We ate here a few years ago and it was phenomenal. Today, the food and service is definitely lacklustre. The spinach dip was just warm. It tasted alright but *very* tiny for $16 and some of the chips were almost soft and chewy, it was bizarre. I’m glad we didn’t add the crab for $10 extra. We both got the lobster mac and cheese ($36 each) and it was a small portion of what tasted like a frozen mac and cheese dinner with elbow noodles. I’m guessing they top it with the lobster and cheese before broiling because my cheese was only partially melted and the lobster was dried out, and rubbery as you can see in the picture. The garlic bread stole the show, it was fantastic. Our waitress who took our drink and food order was pretty inattentive, didn’t make small talk or anything, didn’t refill our drinks, couldn’t get her attention for another. Another couple of girls brought our appetizer and food. They were very sweet! We went for our anniversary and were planning to bring family from the states for some traditional Newfoundland grub but likely won’t be back. If you’re charging almost $40 for mac and cheese it should be out of this world. There’s cheaper places with bigger portions, and better quality to spend a hundred bucks for sure! (Fish Exchange!)

Drove hours and hours just to grab the lobster roll when it came out with no mayo and lettuce only so disappointed you better look for parking ahead of time and make a reservation because this place is very busy. The poutine was good and the fish and chips also looked good. Service 2/10 Lobster roll 2/10 could be an 8 with mayo Overall Nice place just busy

Good casual atmosphere and location is pretty good. We tried tacos, fish and chips and moose burger. Pretty good food. Fish and chips go better with the sauce on the side. But i think other items were way better in taste. It is difficult to find space for bigger groups. Call in advance and they will accommodate you. Staff was helpful and respond quickly even when it was too busy. Food arrival time was good. Not have to wait for a long time. Its difficult to find parking on weekends as it gets very busy.

Our second time here in as many trips to Newfoundland! My son and daughter really enjoyed the vegan fish tacos the last time we were there and wanted them again! This was my first time having moose meat, my husband has never had cod to idea before! Our meal was delicious and service is very friendly! Thank you!

Best fish in chips in our opinion out of the four places we had it in st John/surrounding area. Extremely lightly battered, delicious and fresh. Also ordered the the moose burger but not gamey enough of a flavor, was expecting it to be more flavorful but it was just good not spectacular. The chowder was delicious too. Definitely would go again for their fish though! Waitress was very friendly and the vibes feel really good there

We had a pretty good meal here. If you’re coming for fish and chips we really enjoyed it. The bang bang shrimp were ok. Nothing fancy. We made a reservation and luckily so. It was very busy. That being said, there is very little parking. My father is disabled and we had to walk a ways from down the road. The live music was nice but it was too loud. You had to yell at people across the table. All together it was an ok meal.

Friends of ours are related to the Chafe's who run the restaurant. They recommended we check it out. It did not disappoint. They make an excellent Newfoundland pulled moose sandwich and moose burger. The food was so good we traveled back from St. John's to try some other dishes. We tried the fish (cod) and chips and fish tacos. They were excellent as well. It's a busy place, so it's best to call ahead. Casual, rustic atmosphere. Spectacular scenery in Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove.

Very busy restaurant but we could get seating as we were on a bus tour. The decor is awesome. It is specialized in fish n chips but also has a decent variety of other dishes. The vibe was enjoyed by all..we were a company of 20 and still were served right. The moose sausage is a delight. Tortilla chips n dip were good. They have different vegan options as well which pleasantly surprised me. But it is a pricey restaurant. If ubhave the budget for it, it is well worth it
