Buster’s Sea Cove

Mushy tasteless «crab» cake sandwich. Barely any crab can be tasted in the cakes. Mostly bread crumb. Waste of 10 $. Go to Ruth’s Chris steak house on Richmond St W for REAL crab cakes.

Wrong address so we have to find a nearby restaurant. Check the reviews to find the right address. I will update it when I visit this area next time.

We were hungry for seafood after a visit to the nearby Aquarium. It’s hard to find, but the other Unilocal reviewers helped. I think the address is wrong — I think it’s 120 Bremner — second floor. We went during the holiday so the lineup wasn’t long — but it was definitely busier than the neighbouring shops.
They have a low salt option for the fries. However, they were well soaked in grease from grilled squid so we ended up with a food coma later on. Which makes me wonder how all the office workers fare after eating at this place.
We went with kids which worked well in the food court area as it was super clean and open, but they did lack child booster seats like an average mall would have.

I love this place so much. I go to St Lawrence location often for chowder. They know exactly how to prepare fish perfectly. I brought my Greek partner here for Calamari, and he said it was one of the best he’s had. I was so excited to see they have a food truck now and multiple new locations scattered downtown. Yes! Now I don’t have to go far for it.

Buster’s Sea Cove is bustling during the noon-​hour lunch rush, so if you want to avoid the crowding and the long lines, then avoid noon to one. The food here is just as good as the Buster’s Sea Cove located at St Lawrence Market. I have been to this location numerous times, since it’s one of the few lunch options available in Southcore Financial Center.
On cold days, I really like their lobster bisque. I have also tried the clam chowder, but think that the bisque is tastier and a better value. The crab cake sandwich is really good, though sometimes I feel like it’s a little too dense and take the rest home. The lobster roll is also tasty but I thought that it was a little on the pricey side compared to what you get. The halibut sandwich is amazing, though.

I love my seafood stopped off on break from work… staff is friendly .food is great I got an order of calamari and chicken n shrimp gumbo… huge order of calamari and the gumbo was packed with shrimp n chicken… will be back multiple times .ps line much shorter than st lawrence market

It offers very reasonable price, fresh seafood in downtown Toronto. I am a big fan of their grilled calamari, shrimp po boy, fish and chips.
It locates in the Southcore Financial Centre foodcourt; the place is spacious and seats are comfortable. Although there is always a long lineup, their service is very quick. Whenever I crave for seafood, I will go to Buster’s Sea Cove!

There’s always a huge line-​up during the lunch time for Buster’s Sea Cove. It’s a quick and fresh grab if you’re itching for some seafood. I had the salmon sandwhich and it was very well-​done. Will definitely come here more often in the future when I have the time! Their french fries are also very very good — grab some mayo with them if you could!

Highlight: BEST QUALITY food court meal I’ve ever had. Buster’s is a quick, fresh, and undeniably delicious choice for all you seafood lovers out there.
I’ve been to the famed Buster’s Sea Cove at St. Lawrence market and liked it, so I was excited to hear that they had opened up in the food court of 120 Bremner. This iteration of Buster’s is starkly different than the modest hustle and bustle of its food truck and market counterparts. It sits in the middle of a brightly lit, modern food court — all straight edges of marble and glass, drawing a strong crowd during the lunch hour rush.
I ordered an ahi tuna taco ($ 5) and a New England clam chowder ($ 5.50). Even with the big line-​up, my order was filled swiftly. The taco was incredible– albeit a bit messy and leaky to handle! Two layers of soft tortillas cradling crunchy coleslaw and several slices of perfectly seared pink ahi tuna on top. The taco was topped with a mildly spicy, but incredibly fresh salsa and served with a wedge of lime. LOVED IT! As always, the spice and seafood flavours were cut perfectly with a citrus splash from the lime. The tacos are small, but worth every penny. On the other hand, the soups were slightly disappointing in comparison. The clam chowder I had was nothing to write home about and my friend’s lobster bisque was too salty on its own.
TIP: Go for a couple tacos, skip on the soup.

So good! I wish I took a picture of the beauty before devouring it.
I ordered the Shrimp Po’Boy and was pleasantly surprised!
The shrimp was well seasoned and not overly breaded, the veggies and sauces really tasted great alongside the herby flat (ish) bread. The only thing that was lacking, in my opinion at least, was that coleslaw. But that’s just relative to the BOMB sandwich.
I had it to-​go, and they packed it with a newspaper-​looking thing and I just fell in love. So charming!
Anyways, a tip would be to be wary of the calories (if you’re a counter)!
This place has been bashed by the Star for having 800+ calories for just a salmon sandwich. Their recommendation would be to ask for the calorie-​laden sauces on the side so you can apply them as needed, which isn’t a bad idea!

I just moved to a new office in the Southcore area and was pleased to see a Buster’s Sea Cove in the new food court! I tried it yesterday and it was fantastic, had the Shrimp Po Boy which was fried to order. Lineups are very long and it’s not exactly cheap ($ 10, just the sandwich, comes with no sides), but their seafood is fresh and tastes delicious.
