    Lobster Roll with a local lager.
    Jim R.

    Never had a worth the price - delicious - Lobster Roll until today. It was so packed with tender lobster meat I hardly ate much of the perfectly toasted roll. The lobster had mayonnaise, celery, green and regular onions along with the roll. ( I understand the other way of having it is with just drawn butter - which I don't think they offer but don't quote me!) The place itself has a touristy vibe to it but don't let that turn you away - in fact it adds to the experience. And talk about touristy, check out their attached gift shop. Fun and delicious place to check out.

    Fish-n-chips

    Finally a real fish-n-chips place. We have been traveling in Canada for two weeks and could only find frozen fish and frozen fries. This place has the real stuff. The tartar sauce is made in house and it is delicious.

    At the top of PEI is this very popular lobster roll joint. Yup, great rolls, but spectacular setting. A few good local beers on tap and an oyster bar to boot. Dog friendly everywhere! Worth the wait.

    Best lobster roll I've had in PEI. Lobster roll was seasoned perfectly and so generous in lobster chunks! Market price today was $29, so it was a tad cheaper than spots in Charlottetown yet it was much more generous. We also had the salad instead of fries, and it was very good and high quality too. The fried scallops were amazing with the dipping sauce. Can't wait to return!

    If the line is long, you know it's good. The fried scallops ended up being my favorite and we ordered everything on the menu so I say that with confidence. Would return in a heartbeat ... although my heart would probably stop if I came as much as I'd want to!

    Butter lobster roll

    I tried Richards at two different locations and at both spots in my opinion the lobster had a texture of being previously frozen. I preferred the buttered version to the mayonnaise one you could taste a little of the lobster, the mayo version was so over seasoned it might as well been a tuna fish spread. Staff were friendly and presentation was great just missed on flavour.

    Best seafood on the island, bar none. Don't let the unassuming chincy tourist vibe, insane children hurling themselves off piers in the distance (or the super long lines) fool you; this place is worth the wait in the hot sun. I would wait in line during the literal apocalypse for Richard's. I would fight the four horsemen head on, barehanded and bleeding from every orifice, just for a taste of the fish burger and its mind-blowing, tangy tartar sauce. Incidentally, this is my only complaint: why are they selling cheesy tee-shirts and hats when they have literal tartar gold that should be bottled and sold until every person on Earth has had the opportunity to experience fish nirvana? I have no idea. ANYWAY. Incredibly generous portions (there were about 3 filets in my fish-and-chips), and i MADE the room. The fries were also deliciously-seasoned and crispy. Just go.

    Best fish and chips anywhere. Amazing ambiance sitting upstairs and looking out on the dunes and beach and fishing boats.

    Amazing lobster roll and fries, but be prepared to wait around 30 mins for your food, due to the line they usually have

    So I am biased but we had a great time here. Not much to look at inside or outside but the prices…read morewere decent. We couldn't go help ourselves with the salad bar during COVID but we could check off boxes of the food we wanted to try and they would bring it to us. Seafood was fresh. Salad bar was decent but not anything special. What made it special was the service. Our server went beyond what he needed to, to make sure that we were comfortable. He was friendly, likeable, fast, and kind. We actually had to hunt him to give him a generous tip because you need to pay upfront at the till for everything. And there wasn't a tip option when we paid. But he did his service above and beyond most of the people we know that serve expecting a tip. What was the was the best was another server. We have a daughter with dual diagnosis. She has Down syndrome and autism. And she doesn't enjoy eating. We got there late, and she wasn't interested in eating so she sat in the middle of the floor. It was a big restaurant with only a few people eating so we left her there. And ALL the staff instead of rolling their eyes as they walked by either waved or said hi. And then there was this lady. Who if anyone reading this knows who she is, please message me. I would like to thank properly. After she was done with her table, she put down her tray and sat and said hi to our girl and copied her movements (she rocks for comfort) and our daughter who doesn't particularly likes to be touched ended up snuggling in for a cuddle. I couldn't pay enough for this experience. And when I was wiping away tears and thanking her she kindly shrugged and said it was nothing. It was everything. And all the servers treated us as well if they served us or not or if they were being tipped or not. Go there on this principal alone.

    Probably my favourite place to get lobster on PEI. They have a salad bar that is all you can eat…read more(extra charge), but it's worth it as they have mussels and other goodies. Also their rolls and strawberry shortcake are fantastic! The only downside is the ambiance. It's super loud and generally a lot of kids. If you are looking to avoid that, go for lunch!
