Reasonable prices and huge portions -- what a warm welcome to PEI!…read more Gateway Lobster Shop, nestled in the charming Borden-Carleton plaza, is situated just past the Confederation Bridge. Careful not to accidentally drive past! We were greeted immediately upon entering and service remained very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The food is tasty and portions are extremely generous for the price. We ordered a seafood chowder and the bowl was filled to the brim -- it turned out to be 2 bowls' worth of some of the best chowder on the island! I would highly recommend a stop here on your way in or out of PEI.

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. Service was fine - you order at the counter and pickup at another counter - nothing fancy. They offer outdoor seating only which was wonderful as the day was gorgeous. Oh and the fries. These were amazing. And you get a ton of 'em. So good. Give this place a try - you'll want to go back.

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 food was amazing. Looking forward to trying the spot again before we leave the island.read more

We stepped into the restaurant and all of our expectations were met, above and beyond…read more The hostess sat us by a window, giving us a couple of options. Our server, Ashley, was thorough, knowledgeable and kept a close eye on us, making sure everything was up to par. There was enough staff, and all walked the restaurant making sure empty dishes were cleared, orders were brought to the table promptly, with our server diligently making sure we were well cared for. They also cleaned the seats as well as the tables, a nice touch. It was a bit tight - lots of tables - but when it was full of diners, it did not get too noisy and we were able to carry on conversing. The lobster dip had a decadent creaminess, with a hint of sweetness that was melt in your mouth good. I had the seafood bubbly bake, hot and delicious. The Caesar salad was also delicious- so large I brought most of it home for tomorrow's lunch. My family had the halibut(medium) it was the best halibut we have had here on PEI. They also had the pork loin, and while it was delicious, the mashed potatoes were to die for. We had the blueberry tart and chocolate stout cheesecake for dessert. We also had the bearded skipper NA drink and the range light NA drink, both very good. Best meal we have had on the island so far- service, ambiance and the food all were above and beyond. They don't take reservations, so go early to get seated and not put on a wait list (4 ish). Enjoy!
