We enjoyed the lobster roll and fish & chips. So delicious! The beers we got were great too - a blueberry beer and the 1776 IPA. Both were delicious.

The fries were solid, but the fish itself was just okay, and the tartar sauce didn't hit the mark for me. Service was fine, though the front‑of‑house experience was odd. The greeter looked completely disengaged--wrapped in a blanket and appearing ready for a nap. By the time we left, she actually was napping. There's a lot of hype around this place, so I came in expecting something memorable. Unfortunately, the visit didn't live up to the reputation. Been there done that.

The lobster was half warm and for some reason covered in grease maybe butter. It was definitely overcooked very rubbery. The coleslaw was average and the potato salad was poor. And the weirdest thing was they served the whole dinner in a metal pan and I had to ask for a plate. What they delivered was a small plate like for a slice of bread so I had to ask again could I have a large plate? Nice people below our average food.

I had the haddock dinner (1 piece), with a super generous side of salad. The French fries with hubby's meal were AMAZING (PEI potatoes may be the secret). Had a beautiful walk outside the restaurant along the water afterwards. Would have increased the rating except that the second floor was closed for "operating efficiencies" (probably between lunch/dinner crowd time), but the person who sent us there specifically said to sit upstairs for the view over the water. Would have preferred amazing customer consideration on the second floor to operational convenience. Hope that you're able to enjoy the view!

It appeared to have one server on, with a couple of table runners. The chef did come out at one point and asked how it was. Everyone was friendly and inviting. The oysters were fabulous! Clean and bright. The seafood chowder was the best I have had here on island. The club was good, on focaccia that was tasty. The cappuccino comes in a teeny cup. Beer available. We asked for the non alcoholic one on the board, was told they had been out for quite a while and offered a different one (take it off the board?) The lobster roll. Ok, it was small for the price. The roll it was in was heavy and overwhelmed the lobster with flavour. The dressing in the lobster was tasty, but it did not taste fresh and bright as the roll was so much. I would definitely go back for the chowder. Skip down to the lobster shack for their lobster roll if that is what you are looking to eat.

We enjoyed a very good lobster supper at Cardigan Lobster Suppers, which is located in Eastern PEI…read morein a quiet location near the banks of the Cardigan River. Cardigan Lobster Suppers is open seasonally during the warmer months and tourist season from 5PM to 9PM daily serving up their 5-Course Lobster Suppers, as well as other dishes (3 courses). Senior and youth portions (half size) are available for some entrees including the 5-Course Lobster Supper. We stopped by Cardigan Lobster Suppers on the way back from visiting East Point. Initially, we checked out and stopped by other lobster suppers earlier in the day including Fisherman's Wharf in North Rustico, but mutually decided to stop here since it was conveniently located along our route back west and we driving through Cardigan by 6:15 PM. The place was not that busy since it was towards the end of the season. They have a good sized indoor dining room (old style building atmosphere) and also an outside wooden patio in the back overlooking the Cardigan Harbour. We decided to take a seat outside since it was nice outside and no one was eating in the dining room. I already knew what I was going to order, which was the 5-Course Lobster Supper ($38.95 plus taxes), but my friend wanted to try the Scallops for dinner. However, they had no more scallops, so my friend decided to order the Half Size Lobster Supper ($25.95 plus taxes), which also comes with 5-Courses, but only 3/4 lb Lobster instead of the 1-1/4 lb Lobster. Coffee or tea is included in the price pf the supper. Course 1: Seafood Chowder (all you can eat): This chowder was creamy and not too rich and had celery, fish, baby shrimp, and mussels, sprinkled with paprika. We were also given a basket pf hot rolls with butter. I really enjoyed this seafood chowder and I asked for two more bowls through the course of supper. Course 2: Garden Side Salads: These fresh salads came with choice of homemade dressings and we enjoyed Mango Jalapeño and Raspberry Vinaigrette dressings on the salads. Course 3: Mussels: I was given a big bowl of PEI mussels (counted 32 mussels) and my friend was given half the amount of mussels. The mussels were cooked just right, little broth in the bowl. Course 4: Lobster: I was given a full lobster, which was strategically cut in certain locations for easy breaking (I still needed a lobster cracker). My friend was given a half lobster, cut up the middle, tamales already removed. The lobsters were served with melted butter and side plates with a boiled PEI potato, 1/3 corn on the cob, and long sliced carrots. Course 5: Desserts: Two dessert choices were offered including a Fudge Nut Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream and a Blueberry Shortcake, so we decided to get one of each to share. The brownie was really good which was not to rich and had crunchy walnuts baked in and the vanilla ice cream was cold and light topped with chocolate syrup. The blueberry shortcake consisted of a soft piece of pound cake topped with fresh blueberries/sauce and cool whip. Overall, the food we had was very good and tasty (all courses). The dining atmosphere outside was very quiet and serene overlooking the Cardigan Harbour, but there was a tree blocking much of the view. There were also a few older older couples also having supper outside and the best part was, there were no screaming kids here during our supper. However, since we were dining outside, the flies became attracted to the food on the table, which we had to shoo-away/swat (this could also happen in my backyard too). The service was very good, as our waitress served our courses in a staged and timely order including refills on the seafood chowder and coffees. We left here very full and very content with the PEI lobster supper.
