Nice 50s diner style place with over 40 year history with a bakery therefore baked goods and homemade bread for all the sandwiches.
Sandwiches were great, cookies also good. Will go.back.
Good place with good food. Mainly a takeout, but there are tables to sit and eat at. The donair sub meat was quite soft and not your typical consistency of donair meat. Other subs are really good though.
Good service and good food. Tried the donair quesadilla, which was surprisingly really good. But really the ice cream and Danwiches were the best part. Definitely can’t miss out on the danwich if you come here!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Finally found Grapenut ice cream. Donair sub was fresh and delicious.
Dans is definitely one of nova scotias hidden gems. We never come to barrington without leaving withal a "danwich". A must see!
