It's just a bad museum, like not at all educational because of how they present it, I'm sure a 5 minute long YouTube video could teach you more. Food meh read more

I wasn't sure I wanted to go here. I mean, how interesting can the humble potato be? We had it as an optional last stop on our list, if we had time, which we did. It turned out to be a great little regional museum, full of info on the origins of the potatoes and how it travelled the world, fallacies, pests and disease, and modern agriculture, all with great visual aids. In back is a bonus room of old agriculture machinery including a blacksmith shop and cooper (barrel making) shop. There is also a community museum section. I didn't make it there, so no comment, but all included in the price. read more

Good food, friendly people, fast and delicious! We stopped in twice on our trip to PEI. We had the poutine, the work's potato with hamburger, peas, and gravy with cheese on top. We also had a baked potato and the excellent option we loved was the grilled cheese on potato bread. It was exceptional. The potato soup was wonderful and the chowder was delicious too! Our least favorite was the chili cheese fries, simply because their chili is different than our usual. Highly recommend. The desserts are great too. I actually lost my shoe out of the car and they kept it all week until I made it back by. read more

This review is for the Potato Museum country kitchen. We enjoyed seeing boxes of fresh potatoes being wheeled into the kitchen as we waited for our food. However the actual food was mixed. The fries were kinda bland and the seafood chowder didn't seem to have a lot of seafood in it. And the biscuit was cold. read more

Stopped here while doing the coastal drive on PEI. Had heard all about how delicious the potatoes were on PEI and wanted to check out some of the history behind it. The museum tour is self guided and you watch a couple of videos. However, as the focus is on food, and we didn't see any other options for lunch in the area, we decided to eat in their cafe. The top two things we wanted to try was their poutine and their seaweed pie... Also got the chili cheese fries and a slice of potato pizza. (PRO-Tip: Ask for tap water in a glass instead of buying anything bottled, you won't die.) The food seemed to be prepared by some local ladies and they brought it to our table when it was ready. Both the poutine and chili cheese fries were top notch. They weren't kidding when they said their potatoes are delicious. The gravy and the cheese in the poutine made my mouth water. However, the potato pizza slice was fairly lacking... It was about the size of your normal Domino's slice, except I guess the crust was made from potato dough? It wasn't very spectacular, and very overpriced ($6.95 for the slice!!) The seaweed pie is just somewhat flavored with seaweed (salty, not stringy). Finished up with a scoop of potato ice cream, it didn't really stand out, or I didn't detect the potato-ness in the ice cream.. There's also free Wi-Fi here, so you can relax and surf the web with some poutine. The gift shop also has some nice souvenirs. Lastly, you can't miss this when you get here, but there's a giant potato sculpture by the front door which you can have hilarious photo ops with. Enjoy! read more

First I want to stress if this was staffed by volunteers good job. If this was paid staff holy crap what a cluster. THEY RAN OUT OF BAKED POTATOES AND POTATO SOUP. How the does the potato museum run out of potatoes at 2:00 pm? You had one job potato museum. While I was waiting on my fries. They stopped cooking and serving because they ran out of clean plates. They were sitting on all the tables in the dinning area. read more

What a fun place. Lots of great history, helpful staff and the best French fries and potato soup ever. Who knew such an amazing place in the world existed-but then WE love potatoes. read more
