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 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 visited on a warm and humid August evening. The sign read "Island's longest salad bar" and while…read morewe could not independently verify that assertion, we can confirm it was one of the longest we have seen. The food was great and service was very friendly. We had a wonderful time cracking the lobster and enjoying it hot with butter. Lots to choose from for an after dinner treat -. The strawberry shortcake was particularly delicious while the kids enjoyed the ice cream. A great experience and wonderful time!

I have been going here for years and I grew up in Sherwood PEI. Tonight I had the worst lobster I…read morehave ever had in my life. I explained to the server it was horrible and they apologized and offered another one, but I explained I was full and could not do it. She was kind and apologetic but said it's not your fault. The lobster was soo cooked there was very little meat in the claws and what was there was stuck to the side of the shell and had to be somewhat scraped from the shell which really was not enough meat to make it worth it. I complained Ed in the way out and one of the managers said if it was over cooked they all would have been. I have been eating and cooking lobster since I was in my teens. He looked at me and said so what do you want me to do. Lots of people try this to get a meal. I said obviously you are not going to do anything and I left saying we would not be back. As a Veteran, I will pass this on to other Veterans and let them know they are probably better off to go to New Glasgow lobster suppers.

The chowder was creamy and full of flavour and served piping hot. We arrived ahead of a tour bus and were promptly seated. The French fries were some of the best we have had.

It cost extra (~$60 IIRC) for a lobster lunch. We were each served a lobster and in the centre of the restaurant, they had trays of side dishes (self-serve). I don't remember all the side dishes but there were salads, soup, mussels. One con was that these didn't seem to get refilled as much as they should've throughout our lunch here (though we were told it would be constantly refilled). If you are part of a tour, my tip would be to fill your plate on the first round with whatever you think you'll eat. I usually take small portions and just get more after, but there was no more in this case. :') For the most part, the service was great. Our food was served almost immediately after being seated. The servers were very friendly. Food wasn't bad. I found my lobster to be just a teensy bit overcooked but the food is rarely ever perfect when you're part of a tour, because they have to prepare so much all at once.

We had 4 people in our party and we were afraid of the portion sizes so we ordered 3 at the front. But the waitress told us later on that they made a mistake and said everyone needed a ticket. So we only got appetizers/dessert coupon for one person so we kind of wasted our money.... The course included full or half mussels (choice), tomato andor seafood chowder, salad then lobster either cold or hot and a non- alcoholic beverage. Variety of dessert choices at the end. Everything was good I like how they weren't seasoned but pure taste. Service was nice. Big place, good scenery, might get a little hot when it's crowded. But good place to experience seafood in PEI

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.

While in Charlottetown, we managed to eat our way around town. Seems to be a theme for us when we…read moretravel, discover the people and destination through their food. Dave's Lobster was a highlight. Mr. Bee ordered the Half & Half Lobster Roll. One half of the sandwich was "The Local", which was 1/4 lb. of tender and sweet chilled lobster tossed in seasoned mayonnaise, with crisp celery and fresh chives. The other half of the lobster roll was filled with 1/4 lb. of warm lobster tossed with lemon garlic butter and fresh chives. Both were scrumptious. The flavor of the lobster was sweet. It was really nice to have a chilled half of sandwich and a warm half of sandwich. They both were different, but we couldn't decide on a favorite. I decided no lobster for lunch so I chose a grilled cheese. It was served on the same bread as the lobster roll, but the middle was filled with ooey gooey cheese and then smashed like a panini, it too was different and really good. But that doesn't mean I didn't sneak a bite or two of the lobster roll. The eatery is down on the water in a cute bungalow building. The interior is roomy and so bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean. They offer a few outdoor patio tables, and it was such a beautiful and warm day we ate outside and it was lovely. The service was excellent and the young woman working the counter was so helpful in explaining the different lobster rolls they offer to help us choose and her recommendation was spot on. This was truly the best lobster roll we had on the trip.

While in PEI we had to get a lobster roll and we had not bookmarked Dave's, but saw it and thought…read moreit would be a good place to go. The choice of rolls here and most places are to have them cold or warm, and we found we like the cold ones better. The roll comes with a side and we both picked coleslaw. I got a local beer which was a blueberry ale that was pretty refreshing. The food was not as cheap as some places and the two letters MP (market price), typically mean I will be paying more, in this case the roll and side was over $30. There was a generous amount of lobster on the roll and it was fresh but I felt it needed either more mayonnaise or some acid to bring out the flavors. The roll was toasted though and buttery but still lacking a bit. Overall a good lunch for someone who doesn't get fresh lobster rolls often.
