Isabelle Richard

HiroMori Sama

The lobster was served cold, the potato soup was burnt and the salad was already getting brown (they are supposed to be green right??) And then we changed the lobster for a pasta. The sauce was pure ketch-up and the vegetables are canned...i don't know if i have ever been served with worse food than this...cold unfresh and disapponting Honestly, i do not recommend it.

Yesterday night, I went to this resaurant and ordered the crispy fish and chips. They were the most crispy fish and chip I have ever tasted in my life! Next time I' ll be back for sure!

Heart of the fun filled tourist destination! This resto knows what PEI is about, delicious food and friendly & excellent service, the nautical ambiance is cozy too! Adam our server is the best! You gotta have the steamed lobster meal with PEI mussels. The best! We sure will be back again!

Came in off the street with a family of 5, we were seated almost immediately. The server brought us water to start and menus to browse. We ordered the Seafood Lobster Chowder, Fish and Chips, Poutine, Onion Rings, and a Grilled Cheese kids meal for my youngest who is a picky eater. The food arrived fast considering there was.another large group who ordered ahead of us. Everything was served piping hot. The Chowder came with a warm roll and was rich and delicious with lots of seafood pieces in the Chowder. The fish with the fish and chips was huge and the batter was crispy and the fish was well seasoned and flaky. The fries were also crispy without being overcooked. Everything was delicious and the server checked in shortly after we started eating to make sure everything was great. The servers know their stuff and we were extremely happy with our visit. Will eat again. 10/10

Perfect restaurant to eat Lobster !! Especially seafood chowder was great too!!! My daughter loved the fish & chips!!

Sandy Burns

We stopped here after travelling all day to get to PEI and were looking for a quick supper. We all had the lobster rolls, and they were absolutely delicious. Tons of lobster in them, and ready quite quickly. It was only after we ate that our gracious server told us he had been about to close when we walked in (we arrived three minutes after closing time, but we didn't realize this). Rather than turning us away, he stayed open just for us. He was very nice and it was a wonderful start to our vacation. I would definitely eat here again (but I'll keep on eye on the hours next time). Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Pleasant staff, good service, but doesn't compare to other places on the island

I am pleased to say it’s my first time in PEI & I never had lobster. As my first time at this restaurant I had such a horrible experience with the staff. This one waitress was extremely rude to my family members, and assumed we did not speak English or understand due to our colour. We ordered more than one lobster and obviously are paying for everything, even the extra bits. For my first time here the food was mediocre. The soup, salad, and potatoes were amazing. I really enjoyed that. But I unfortunately have to say the experience from the staff, and quality of the food have disappointed me and my family. I would appreciate better behaviour towards their guests, and welcome them with good vibes.

Nizar Kubursi

Good lobster good prices

Roberto Centeno

Ok

Chris Sherren

The best lobster poutine ever! My girlfriend loved her lobster roll!

Suzanne Dupuis

You know these amazing restaurants you hear about scattered around in PEI- well this ISN’T one of them! Food is ok- if you have very young kids. But my cup of seafood chowder was just potatoes and onions...

The 7-day Tour East Bus trip that I'm traveling on stopped here; we have 50 tourists in our group. It's a meal stop so only a quickie review. The $325 meal plan includes 6 lunches and 6 dinners of which this restaurant is one of the venues. This New Glasgow seafood eatery has indoor and patio seating. The set meal began with a 1-1.5 pound (pre-cooked weight) Maritime Lobster entree. We could then go up to a counter and select from unlimited potato salad, garden salad, seafood chowder, and/or steamed mussels. Delicious! Dessert was sliced watermelon.

Average place nothing homemade. Service slow since everything packaged. Staff friendly. Had lobster role myself small but tasted decent.

(Translated) The whole lobster is very enjoyable for one person, but the Atlantic lobster does not seem to have the sweetness and solid flesh of the Pacific lobster... (Original) 整隻的龍蝦一個人享用很過癮，但大西洋的龍蝦似乎沒有太平洋龍蝦的鮮甜及紮實的肉質 ...

Our group of 14 came here for dinner for our last night in Cavendish. The waitress did her best to make sure everyone was taken care of and did a wonderful job. She was nice, tentative and kept the drinks filled. I know it's not easy with a big crowd, especially with quite a few kids as well so a huge thank you! My boyfriend had the lobster poutine which was amazing! After a horrible lobster poutine at the Walton pub, this was a welcome surprise (he was a bit worried to order another one) I did try it and wished I had ordered the same thing. One of the kids ordered the mussles, it was a huge serving, and she was happy with it, ate the whole thing actually. The fried shrimp, scallops and clams were good, I enjoyed the meal as did my sister in law who ordered the same dish. Over all it was a pleasant experience and glad we decided to try the Lobster Shack.

Kristy Campbell

The best lobster roll! Quick service. Would 11/10 recommend.

Craig Savoury

A good quality, reasonably priced seafood restaurant that is a much better than the other options in the immediate Cavendish area, especially the "Boardwalk". The service was quick and the food delicious!

M Gillett

Our family ate here a few days ago. It was excellent food and service! My parents thought the fish and chips were the best - the restaurant doesn’t use the regular “fish and chips” batter, it is very crispy and not oily/greasy and flavourful. My 10 yo thoroughly enjoyed it too. My husband and I had the lobster roll. Super delicious. But the pièce de résistance was definitely the lobster seafood chowder!! Soooooo good. And last but certainly not least, the service from our waiter was prompt, helpful and friendly.

J K

Dined here with my family, a party of 6. We got the baked and steamed lobster, seafood chowder soup, lobster poutine and lobster roll! The baked and steamed lobster came with mussels, a side salad and corn. The mussels were so good! The seafood chowder was delicious! Totally would recommend this restaurant. I would definitely come back in a heart beat!

Jung Youngsun

This restaurant was the best!!! It was very fresh and delicious. My favourite was the clam chowder. I definitely recommend it. Love it!

Jeremy Yoon

I had a great time in pei and this restaurant food. I love lobster Clam chowder .. etc Thank u. I will come back soon.

Sungmo Park

Here is the taste of PEI. I had good time with my friends. Thanks.....

(Translated) Service and size of the lobster not worth half the charged price ... Avoid this place (Original) Service et grosseur du homard ne valent pas la moitié du prix chargé... Évitez cet endroit

Robert Thouin

Having had a delicious lobster meal for lunch elsewhere on the island - we ordered to take out some fish n chips, DON’T. The fish was fresh but overcooked and the batter was coarse and tasteless. The fries were the type that are coated with something and we’re not crisp but soggy. The meal was accompanied by the absolute tiniest, wee portion of coleslaw I’ve ever seen, really it was but a tablespoon serving half filling a very small plastic container. Same amount of tarter sauce along with that. We each ate less than half our meal. I realize it’s a tourist destination but some respect for us would be appreciated.

7 tables in the building, 1 young Male server taking care of all. Waited 10min to get drink order, then 5 more to get them. Takes the order, 2 lobster dinners and calamari 1st to start. Well, mussels come out 1st w/ only 1/2 of them opened and were served to us. I was always told if they dont open they are dead? Calamari then came out dry and way over cooked, should be tender not chewy and crispy. We said we're not chancing the lobster's and said just bill us for the drinks we're leaving. The owner instead of asking what can I do to make you feel better, he said you cant leave I started cooking your lobster. I said you gave us dead mussels and way overcooked calamari and you want us now to risk your lobster cooking? 2 other tables left as well and thanked us for for the heads up before they ordered. It looks great from the road, I recommend keep driving. Bad food bad owner.

Family visited from Ontario and the seafood chowder was amazing.

(Translated) A disappointing experience, the lobster was cold and rubbery. I do not recommend it to anyone :( (Original) Une expérience décevante, le homard était froid et caoutchouteux. Je ne le recommande à personne :(

William Hart

Waited 15 mintues for just drinks we left with others that said the food was terrible. Went down the road to Fisherman's Wharf for a great service (Kegan) and fresh yummy lobster dinner with a 60 foot salad bar and unlimited mussels.

Jun Li

We had lunch here with lobster. Taste very good. Also they grow potatoes and vegetables with their homemade sauce are really good.

I had dinner at this restaurant with my family last week. The lobster and mussel were really fresh and tasty. Also, clam chowder and seafood chowder were awesome!!! It was creamy and lots of stuff in soups. This was best chowder ever!!!. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you looking for best food on Cavendish....

TAESHIN BAE

Fish was very overcooked, not a busy place, not the cheapest either! Very few people in there as well. Waitress was polite and courteous though.

Amazing lobster poutine and clam chowder. A little outdated and the menu could be updated. Service was a bit slow.

Cavendish Lobster Shack is what East coast travel dreams are made of. You always hear about East coast hospitality, but we didn’t experience it from any other establishment or local until we walked into this restaurant. The staff are beyond accommodating and attentive. We felt so welcomed and cared for! We got a lobster roll and the seafood chowder. -The lobster roll was great! Lots of lobster meat and the bread was perfectly toasted. The French fries are like Costco fries and if you know Costco fries then you know it was hecking good. -The seafood chowder was the best we have ever tasted (though it can be ‘heavy’ for those sensitive to salt/cream). It was SO good we ordered a second bowl even though we were already stuffed. I also LOVED their bread roll; it was a sweet bread that was deadly delicious when dipped into the chowder. We compare every lobster/seafood meal we have on our East coast trip to the Cavendish Lobster Shack and nothing measures up. We’ll definitely be coming back to Cavendish if not for the beaches then just for this place.

Amazing lobster roll and seafood chowder. Amazing service. Highly recommend ???? ????

Needs an update, food was over priced

(Translated) Very good food! Seafood chowder and lobster roll are to try! Very nice experience and good service. I will stay there again the next time I visit Cavendish, without fail! (Original) Nourriture très bonne! La chaudrée de fruits de mer et le lobster roll sont à essayer! Très belle expérience et bon service. J'y retournerai la prochaine fois que je passerai à Cavendish, sans faute!

Pierre Timotheatos

Really good food and service seafood chowder is fabulous and a better choice than clam chowder. Fish n chips was good. Lobster roll was good but far from great as you could squeeze the water from the lobster, for 18$ i expect better.

David Wong

Good place to get a whole lobster or fish and chips

Mark Askey

Best food in the area

I really enjoyed Cavendish Lobster Shack. I am from PEI, a few friends and i came out to Cavendish for the day and were very pleased with the food and the service. The server was quick and answered all my questions and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this resturant to locals and anyone coming to PEI to visit.
