Vera’s was a great spot to grab a bite to eat. Very cute diner theme with some nice personal touches. Food was excellent and came out nice and hot even with a full dining room. The fish and chips was haddock which I wasn’t a fan of but that is just personal preference. The garlic fries are delicious. Dessert was also delicious but there was no menu or special board you would need to ask the waitress. The blue milk milkshake is also a fun shake with a bit of alcohol in it.

The hidden gem ( literally) in CBS. They had me at homemade sausage. Best breakfast on the island. I’m not kidding. You better go.

Expected a ‘dirty bay feed’ but this food you could tell was cooked with so much more care and attention to detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and the portion size matched the cost. Atmosphere was fun. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Only headsup is they get busy (because they’re a great restaurant!), so call ahead.

Had the cod bites and chips. The cod was really fresh with crisp coating. Fries cut on site and are plentiful. We had an order of onion rings, really liked them. Shared with 3 people and was plenty with our meal. Service was good, picked our own seat and was served promptly. Staff friendly and helpful. Only gripe I have is 3.50 for a can of pop, Otherwise had a good experience.

I was looking for a restaurant to eat in the area and decided on Vera’s. The menu outside the entrance is not the current menu but the offerings were good. The seafood chowder here for $15 was big ! It tasted so good and was honestly the best chowder I had during my entire trip in NL. Nobody else can compete. I have no idea why the $15 chowders in every restaurant I went to were so tiny and disappointing. I would come here just to eat this soup. That’s how tasty it is ! Seafood platter has great scallops and the batter was light and not caked on for a change (love that) ! This was the best place we ate at during the entire NL trip. Also, service from our waitress was very good. I love her kind attitude and patience as we had to check into our flight online while seated with our menus. It does get busy in here ! Would have loved to try a milkshake if I had room for one !
