Mike O.

We came over after having the lobster roll at Dave's Lobster to compare them because honestly we aren't from this area and at our home you just can't get this type of food. The shack was recognized on a number of YouTube videos we watched of PEI of where to get a great lobster roll. It was certainly a busy location with only outdoor seating under umbrellas. I ordered a lobster roll that came with fries for $23.00 CAD the day we had it....no market price cost like at Dave's. The women working the shack were friendly and chatty and we got the order pretty quick. The lobster had a bit more mayo on it than Dave's and it was more flavorful, but the bun was better at Dave's. All things being weighed, the seating was better at Dave's along with the bun, but the price and inclusion of the fries was better with Chip Shack. Given the choice I would save the money and have the lobster roll here.

This was our second place we hit for lobster roll to make a comparison to another place. This one hit the mark with the perfect amount of mayo and acidity on the cold lobster roll. It was a tiny bit smaller though than the other place we went to but no big deal. They offered french fries they were perfectly seasoned and went well with it. The price was a few bucks cheaper as well. Of course you didn't have the indoor comfortable seating area, you had to sit outside on the patio benches and hopefully find one with an umbrella, but it worked out that day since the weather was fine.

After traveling millions of miles, over land and sea I arrived at my destination, DAVE'S Lobster Rolls only to find they reopen for the season, TOMORROW!!! So I turned left and there was The Chip Shack. This was the next best option seeing as we didn't want to do a sit down restaurant. Now this was my very first Lobster roll so I have nothing to compare, but it was meh. Nothing spectacular. Again maybe my expectations were too high. But the Fries, they were excellent and some of the best we've had. Fresh cut, crispy outside soft inside and just the right amount of salt. Order at the shack and sit on a picnic bench and wait for your order. Prices were reasonable. Staff pleasant.

Ordered the lobster poutine, a bit disappointing. 1) lobster was super salty on its own 2) the gravy sauce they used was warm, so it couldnt even melt any of the curds. Only good mentions was spicy mayo was good, and the fries werent bad. Service was quick, maybe like a 5 - 8 minute wait. Would suggest trying other items and avoid the lobster poutine.

When in PEI, one must get fries. PEI potatoes are legendary and you know what? They are correct. I had such a fun time trying out different places to get fries. The chip shack came highly recommended and I get why, they are just the right amount of crispy and salted just right. I got them with a side of lobster roll that was good but nothing fancy. The fries are where it's at.

My third Lobster Roll of the day. This little Chip Shack is near Dave's Lobster and a lot of cruise ship personnel go here for the fries / chips. Walk along the shoreline path to the left as you exit the cruise ship terminal. Taste: Lightly dressed lobster on a toasted roll. The lobster is shredded in fine pieces with no notable large identifiable pieces. Like the toasted bun but wish there was more meat. Ambiance: Shack is floating on the water. Outdoor plastic picnic tables on the floating platform. Boardwalk like! No pesky seagulls. Price: CS is known for their chips or fried potatoes rather than their Lobster Rolls. But at $15CAD for a Lobster Roll and it's fabulous fries, you just gotta have it. Roll is okay. Small chips is $4CAD without roll and it comes out hot and crispy. Dipping sauces for the fries - Garlic, Spicy Garlic, and Cajun. We went with the medium Spicy Garlic. Overall: Best deal for a meal. Roll is ok. Fries are the best. Outdoor seating on a floating pier - thus you're on the water!

David L.

On food, a three. The service and tone from the owner was a one and a half. So, a short review for an unworthy place. This location is the fifth lobster roll, and the worst one I've had - Lobster roll was just ok. Buns are sourced locally. - fries extra crispy were good. Nothing spectacular. - poutine was not good. Fries were fine but the gravy tasted like cheap powdered gravy. - ketchup is cheap No Name ketchup, which leads me to believe that all the ingredients are cheap. Service was not good. The original Lady taking order was nice but missed quoted the price on the lobster roll. The owner then came in it was fairly rude to my wife and quickly charged us an additional three dollars versus the initial cost. I was not impressed. Would NOT recommend going to this place just hop over to Dave's lobsters instead, it's much better.

Truly disgusting burnt fries. Isn't PEI supposed to have such great potatoes? Hate this place lol.

Mollie P.

Lobster rolls and fries were mediocre and cost $21 an order. I feel kinda lied to by all these glowing reviews. Wish we had skipped this expensive mistake.

Winnie L.

Lobster roll was pretty good. The lobster is more mashed up in smaller pieces than other places but the lobster was more tasty here - less mayonnaise taste abs more spices which added to the flavour.

OMG, crazy good. Apple fries are amazing. I feel like I need to eat them each day of my trip now that I discovered them. They are THAT good. My wife and I each enjoyed our fish and chips. Plenty to eat. Also great it was all gluten free. For us, that's huge. For the rest of the customers they didn't even notice, they enjoyed their meal as much as if it had gluten. read more

PEI potatoes. That's what PEI is known for, so naturally you got to try fries here. There is no better than this place right here. Granted I haven't tried anywhere else, but based on what I tried here, there is no better. And word travels fast so if you don't get here early (especially if there is a cruise ship docked) you might have to wait a while. I ordered the lobster roll and fries. The fries are super crispy and delicious. Just wonderful. Prices are super reasonable. Lobster roll was good. Yes the fries are amazing but the Apple fries, omg. The Apple fries are out of this world, and they count as fruit so that's a plus. They are sweet, and salty and delicious and come with homemade caramel dip. Yum. Our meals were personally made by "the queen of fries" herself, the owner. Very interesting place. Very good food. Go here! read more

We stopped here while in town and it was a surprise hit! Housed in a quaint portable building down on the waterfront, the owner is a motivated, charming and beautiful local woman who traveled the world for years and finally settled back home in Charlottetown (she even sang for a local rock band) . The chips were absolutely delicious and the rest of the menu looked great too. Just too cool and funky a place to miss while visiting - so DON'T. read more

The owner is fantastic! Had a great time chatting about her travels, life story and how The Chip Shack came about. But when it came to the food... there are a lot of better options in Charlottetown. The fries were good, but had too much salt and didn't taste fresh. Fish was nothing special. If you need a quick snack, maybe.. but if you're looking for a great eat this isn't it. read more

This was the first food stop I made in PEI. The owner was delightful and the food was amazing, especially the gluten-free apple fries. The fish was good too, but I can't stop thinking about those fries! They are so magical that we shared them with some tourists that were skeptical about buying them. The portion was so large, that we split them between the four of us. They taste like churros. Seriously, go get some. This meal was way more carbs than I'm used to, but it was I delicious way to splurge. read more

Rating based on service as we never got our food. Gave us the wrong order and said they'll fix it. We waited and waited. After 20+ mins, we checked and our order wasn't even on their radar and they tried to give us the original (aka wrong) order again. You know it's bad when the line chimes in to back you up. Asked for money back and took our business elsewhere. Other family members did get their poutine. Fries looked overdone and dish was microwaved. Stay away!! read more

If you're looking for a fantastic lobster roll and the best house cut fries, then you have to go to the Chip Shack at Peakes Quay Marina. Its a red shack, floating on floats with picnic tables. The food and staff are fantastic. And the prices are excellent. Lobster Roll and fries for $13 tax included. For dessert, have the apple fries. Gluto free fish and chips are excellent too.

Yes, yes, yes. The lobster poutine was perfection. The gravy was exactly the right kind of salty, the proper ratio of cheese curds and fries done how fries should be. So much lobster on top that was equally flavoured to perfection. The apple fries are pure genius. Why I have never seen these on a menu before? Looks like a fry, tastes like apple pie. Covered in cinnamon and sugar with a caramel dipping sauce. We will be trying to recreate these at home, 3 provinces away. read more

I are here because of all the hype about best fries, yes they were good but not worth the wait. When everything is about the fries and the way the menu is set, the most you should be waiting for an order of fries is 10 minutes even if they have to cut them. She could be making way more happy customers with just a little more organization on the fryers. Good but the fries at the red rooster are way better read more

The fish in the fish n chips is a tiny piece. When I asked her what type of flour she used, she said it's her recipe. I was asking because I can't tolerate some gluten free flours like buckwheat and oats. She didn't want to speak to us. She was not having a good day nor was she helpful. You get a lot of fries. The place is a shack and not as gluten free as I thought it would be. I was told by the owner it's All gluten free. When I got there, I saw hot dog buns in he same area and other food with gluten. The owner also said to me on the phone...you are celiac? My whole family is celiac -- and implied she understood what Celiac required and that she had a kitchen that was gluten free too. She lied. Just to get us over there. Very disappointing. NOT recommending for Celiac or gluten free food. read more

The beef tarts were dry and the pastry tough. While our server was enjoyable and pleasant, the appetizers were not the best, and for the price, we won't be back. Head down to the Italian restaurant (Vicinato) - you won't be disappointed!

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.

Dave's Lobster

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.

My wife and I made a quick trip to the Island and we wanted an affordable restaurant with good seafood. The Chip Shack did not disappoint. Although they ran out of fish, they made sure everyone knew that it would be another 45 minutes before they had more to serve. My wife had the Lobster Poutine and I had the Pulled Pork Poutine. Hands down some of the best poutine we have ever had - from Charlottetown to Toronto. The floating restaurant was amazing! We will definitely eat here again. read more

The lobster poutine is a unique experience! The prices are fantastic for the quantity and quality of the food. And the owner must surely be Bonney Anne or Mary Reade because she is a fun and hardworking woman all the way around. My son and I were in PEI to tour colleges (All the way from Tennessee), but her little place on the pier was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Please go. You won't regret it. read more
