This place is a true PEI institution. It started back in 1958 as a fundraiser by the New Glasgow…read moreJunior Farmers, serving lobster and pies in a canteen hauled onto the site for $210. Today, it's grown into a huge dining hall with a polished system--but the sense of tradition is still very much alive. The setup is simple but memorable: everything is all-you-can-eat except the main course. You'll get bowls of seafood chowder, steamed mussels, salads, rolls, and dessert included with your meal. The lobster is the star, of course--I had the 1.5 lb, and it was perfectly cooked, sweet, and tender. The sides are plentiful and satisfying, but they exist to set the stage for that big plate of lobster. Expect a line before the doors open--it's part of the experience. Service is efficient and friendly, clearly well-practiced at managing the volume. This isn't fine dining, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's about tradition, community, and sharing in a piece of PEI history. Bottom line: if you're on the island, a lobster supper here is non-negotiable. It's as much a cultural event as it is a meal.

We chose a 3 lb lobster, which was perfect between sweetness and meatiness for us. Restaurant has children menu for 12 & under, which offers smaller menu such as 1/2 of 1 lb lobster for 24$ and other non seafood regular kids menus. Start by paying for ticket with choice of meal when you enter. Price includes two servings of rolls, bucket of mussels, seafood chowder, dessert and non-alcoholic drinks (just no seconds of mains). Big dining room area so there was no wait to get a table, and good for big groups and family friendly as well.

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 cold and they put warmed butter on it. Extra drawn butter would have been good. I would either ask for the lobster roll bun, or just get the lobster roll. It was good, and I would go back, but maybe a different location. The breeze became heavy at times, and would be refreshing save for the fine dust coming off the driveway from the numerous cars coming in and out. Paving or gravel would be a wonderful improvement.

We sat by the front windows, and when I walked through the intimate dining room it looked inviting as well. There isn't a lot of seating, and Pedro does all the cooking, so reservations are a must, as they fill up fast and stayed busy the entire time we were there. Pedro came over introduced himself and asked how were our meals. Everything was delicious. My husband was a wonderful chef, and the seafood linguine was bathed in a sauce that replicated my hubby's! He died 8 years ago, so this was a pleasant surprise that brought back some sweet memories. Definitely a yes!

They had tables set and ready for us when we arrived. Most of the seniors came for their famous lobster roll sandwiches but a few of us had dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate us and served us with a smile.

Both the lobster roll and chicken salad came with potato salad, a strawberry dessert and a drink. Serving sizes were plentiful and exceptional taste. Attached to the restaurant is a souvenir shop that had a good selection of local products. Prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend you give them a visit. You'll be glad you found this gem.
