Picture it. You walk out the front door of Coastal Inns and the smell hits you; the unmistakable smell of food being cooked outdoors. Is someone barbecuing? Or is that the smell of one of the many amazing local food trucks throughout The Maritimes? Want to be ready to find your favourite when you visit us? Here are our suggestions.
Moncton/Dieppe:
The Serious Smoke Food Truck makes its way to Moncton weekly while it tours Saint John, Fredericton, and the Hub City. Making some amazing poutine, burgers, and their signature FOOD GRENADES (trust us, they’re incredible), you can find their schedule and menu on their Facebook Page and their website.

Antigonish
OK so hear us out; While the idea of a food truck is a truck that goes places, sometimes it’s better to go to them. That’s the case with Antigonish’s Back East Seafood. An easy 10-minute drive from Coastal Inns, located in front of Pin’s Bowling, Back East Seafood serves up Maritime classics like fish ‘n chips but also gives you something different to chew on, like their signature lobster poutine.

Digby
Kalen’s Takeout is another entry in the stationary category – but it still delivers a fairly classic food truck experience and absolutely fits the bill. Seafood specials and takeout icons prepared with a home-cooked approach – they’ve been a local staple for a little while now. A recent Facebook post confirmed they will be opening for the season, but the date has yet to be announced.
