# Highwayman: Agent-Direct Score B (75.4%) Site: https://www.highwaymanhfx.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/highwaymanhfx.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Highwayman is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open Highwayman's website. It can read what Highwayman offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.highwaymanhfx.com/food-menu - Phone: +1-902-407-5260 - Address: Barrington Street 1673 B3J 1Z9 Halifax - Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Sat 16:00–00:00; Sun closed ## Nearby, also direct Places near Highwayman that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Antojo Tacos + Tequila (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/antojo.ca - Moxie's (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/moxies.com - Wooden Monkey (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/thewoodenmonkey.ca - Barrios Kitchen & Bar (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/barrioshfx.ca - Sketti and Ball (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/skettiandballco.ca ## What to fix first - **Booking only through resy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission.
