Two words, fish cakes!

Pier-Olivier Therrien

Richard Bowlby

Good food, but extremely slow to come out...

Heather Macdonald

Fantastic. Mussels. Chowder. Fish cakes. Great island beer on tap. Great view. Highly recommend.

Tom Brazil

Service was good but the fish & chips were horrid ????

Shannon Svenson

Nice atmosphere and view. Staff were very accommodating, even when we showed up with a large group on a busy day when they were closing early. I had the fish and chips and the fish was fantastic -- lightly battered, very tender and fresh.

eric klepsch

Great food and service!

Tom Lester

Great food, great service, great location with VERY reasonable prices for the large servings you receive! We recommend ANYTHING on the menu!!!!

Kevin Webster

A great place to stop for lunch after kayaking the local rivers. The fish and chips were battered perfectly, and the bar clams were fantastic! The service was friendly and the setting very pleasant. Finding a parking spot can be a bit of a challenge, but that was the only drawback.

Chuong Bill

Good food and good service

Andy Gilbert

Great food, great service, great view. Best fish in PEI. A hidden gem

Deanna C

Food was pretty good. Server was nice but we waited a long time for our food and things didn't come out all together. I recommend the poutine (french fries, gravy and mozzarella) and kale salad.

Michelle S

Would love to say the food was great but got turned away at 7:40pm after standing there for 10 minutes.

Devin Wiles

Good food and drink selection. Seems like they struggled a bit with the volume of people coming in during the summer months. Overall a good experience.

Christine Bulk

Fresh local seafood.

Jordan Foster

Food was great! Right on the dock like the name says... So great views.

Julie Fisher

Some of the best fish & chips I've had...and I'm old! Lol seriously very fresh & very light breading. Excellent. Highly recommend. And I don't do chowder but my husband raved at all the fish in his chowder!

Kirk Sutherland

The best lobster roll I had in PEI! (The tacos were amazing as well.)

Gary Arnold

Just Wholesome Good Food And Awesome Service

Jody Gervais

Best fresh oysters ever. Elegant, silky, full, and are so good that using anything else to flavour it, other than a little bit of lemon would be criminal. Hospitality warm and delightful. Crab dip especially yummy with PEI's homemade kettle chips. Restaurant is pet friendly and welcomed our dog in their outdoor patio.

Define Reality1 (Definereality1)

Friendly service, nice atmosphere, quaint and standard good sea food eg fish and chips Blue Mussel Cafe is more adventurous (just slightly more), but this has a better view. Both are great

Anant Saxena

Brilliant location 'on the dock', and amazing food and service to boot! Can't go wrong with this recommendation.

David Gibler

Location atmosphere and food. The best of all three!

Lu-ann Juleá W

Very nice atmosphere the waitress was very nice and good service ..the food was good but not the portion size for the money I had the battered fish and it was the size of the little fish sticks I had been there other years and it was not that small of portion .. I'll prob not go back

Ksenia Basha

One of the best fish and chips, fish sandwich is so juicy and fresh. I recommend

Lisa Mouton

Incredibly windy seating, but it is hard to beat a scallop sandwich.

Deionator A

lots of flies, overpriced, and bland tasting food. Fries are the only decent food item. Just go to blue mussel cafe, definitely worth the wait

This restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious, portions are filling and the seasoned fries are the best! The staff are friendly and very welcoming! They are very attentive and willing to go the extra mile! Thanks for a wonderful meal!

J. R. Macneill

Best fish and chips I’ve had on the Island so far!. Coleslaw the worst..

Aaron

So we arrived ready to sit down and were waiting on the waitress. My wife needed to use the washroom while we waited. She asked the lady behind the bar inside and she said " washrooms are NOT public" you must sit, THEN u can use it. I had a hard time with needing to sit to prove I would stay. I asked her why my wife couldn't use it and she is scared of people using the washroom w/o paying for food. We found needing to prove ourselves insulting. As a store manager of a large retail store in Charlottetown I wouldn't just walk up to this restaurant. Maybe call ahead so they know your a customer. We ate at the blue mussel. It's worth the wait! Sincerely Aaron Latham

Lois Costello

Amazing view, food and service. Big portions, fresh local ingredients! Highly recommend!!

Denise Cote

Amazing food, had the fish tacos, potato salad, Bar Clams everything was to die for! We got there 15 minutes before they close and felt a warm welcome. The owner came and talked with us. She and her mom are owners. Great personality, fancy plating at a very reasonable price and not to mention best views right on the water!!! Love it and highly recommend ????

Jim Craig

Fish and Chips were excellent and I dont think there would be a better place on PEI to have them . Right on the water is awesome

John David Heintz

Great setting on the bay, good food, helpful waiters, and reasonable prices, highly recommended.

Bill Nowell

Fresh Strawberry Point oysters that were expertly shucked and served overlooking the bay where they are harvested. Plus fish and sides prepared by the wife and two daughters of one of the fisherman following their family recipes. Highly recommended for an authentically local meal.

Evelyn Avila

Why tell me you do take outs and after I place my order tell me the big groups will be taken care of first. Horrible customer service by the manager.

(Translated) Best fish tacos I've eaten in my life. I don't know what they put in their sauce, but it's just too good. Everything is homemade, their sauce, their potato salad, their coleslaw, etc. And it's very close to the bike path (we started from Cavendish by bike) (Original) Meilleur tacos de poissons que j’ai mangé de ma vie. Je ne sais pas ce qu’ils mettent dans leur sauce, mais c’est juste trop bon. Tout est fait maison, leur sauce, leur salade de patate, leur salade de choux, etc. Et c’est très près de la piste cyclable (nous étions parti de Cavendish en vélo)

Sophie CT

Very good food and service!

Emily Masse

Beautiful location with SUPER food. We had bar clams and the fish n chips and who boy. Bar clams were big deep fried honkers and the fish was a fresh, light batter with incredible fresh flakey fish inside. And the fries, seasoned with a pepper and salt seasoning were even drool worthy. Highly recommend On the Dock for date night, a Sunday drive drop in, catching up with and old friend or a take out treat.

Brendan Kwolek

Great outdoor view/space for a quick bite.

Pietro Paolo D'Ascanio

Great place to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon. Deep sea fishing, restaurants, shops, and the beach is around the corner.

Colin Jack

Best fish cakes on the island

Gray Skedgel

Best fish and chips in pei.

Albert Penney

Food is very good and prices are reasonable. Staff are very friendly.

gallantish

We specifically asked the server if their seafood chowder had lobster or shrimp in it because my husband is allergic & said it is not severe (no epi pen needed) but causes discomfort so she went to the kitchen, came back and said no so we each ordered a bowl. After he finished it, he went to the washroom, came out all red in the face, eyes red and glassy—obviously having a reaction! Went back to another staff member who then told us there is no shellfish in it but there is lobster juice in it!!! Crustaceans! Not mollusks. Please indicate this on the menu.

Thomas Ivines

Food was excellent as was the atmosphere on the dock. Took the fur babies with us; no problem.

Émilie Bouchard

(Translated) The location is perfect! The lobster roll is excellent. The view of the port makes the visit very pleasant. (Original) L'emplacement est parfait! La guédille au homard est excellente. La vue sur le port rend la visite très agréable.

Javier Barragan

Two years ago we discovered this amazing place. Today we can more than confirm this is a great place to eat.

ken smith

Wonderful restaurant in the beautiful village of North Rustico. The restaurant can be hard to find as it is tucked behind another popular restaurant closer to the road. The location is very nice though as it is literally "on the dock". The service is very good. It is a seasonal restaurant, so it can be very busy. The staff told us there would be a slight wait and they fit us in as other patrons left. The food was very good and well priced for a touristy area. You can walk right out of the restaurant onto a small boardwalk that goes out to the harbor. You are also steps away from the main boardwalk in town, some nice little shops and a fantastic beach. Well worth stopping.

Filipa Coimbra

What a pleasant surprise... very clean, staff was so nice and the food!!! Yummy!!!

Baconator James

Food has improved, well above average. Obvs not competition to some chef-run local restaurants, but it's casual, kid-friendly. The place was clean, not noisy but had nice music playing (not country!) in the background so you don't overhear other people chewing/talking. We didn't wait long for our food at all. Couldn't imagine better service. All the wait staff were so helpful & friendly. Even the teenagers you'd expect to get a "please let this day end" attitude from, were kind, cheerful, attentive yet not overly solicitous. Having waited tables most of my young life & being generally ornery, I pick up on anything negative. I only had the cheeseburger, I'm not a seafood person. The hamburger was a bit overcooked, but I never asked for medium so that's on me. Why isn't this 5 stars? Because no one reads 5 star reviews.

KR P

Delicious food, excellent atmosphere. The waitress was lovely and so good with my toddler. Highly recommend.

Leah Furey

Maxime Delisle

Amazing fish and chips, very fresh fish and large servings. Try the beach chair lager with the meal its a great local product and tastes even better on tap.

Mediocre really expensive food . The server was friendly enough but I wouldn't go back

Chris Duncan

Great spot with wonderful service and home made food. Very friendly staff and local owners!

Marva Sweeney-Nixon

We (4 professional middle-aged women) went there for a drink and appetizers but were not allowed to sit outside in the sun because we weren't getting a meal! We could have sat inside, but it is such a great location on the water. Won't go back because of that treatment. So only go here if you are a family and want a meal, don't go there to spend $!!!

Aline Véros

(Translated) Great food, great view, to try the homemade nachos with potato chips from Prince Edward Island, the fried calamari, the lobster roll with lots of lobster ???? very good value for money. only downside you have to be patient ... But after all we are on vacation ???? (Original) Super bouffe,super vue, à essayer les nachos maison au chips de pommes de terre de l'ile du Prince Edward, les calamars frits , la guedille au homard avec beaucoup de homard ???? très bon rapport qualité prix . seul bémol il faut être patient...

Daniel Delattre

Excellent food. Mussels, chowder, fish cakes, wonderful service. A great place to eat.

Christophe Segard

Simon Plamondon

This restaurant is located on the border of a bay and the view is awsome. As soon as you sit, you get into a warm welcome with great staff. From the menu we decided to eat the favorite sea food platter. From the three of us, we can say that we never eated good well presented and fresh seafood like this. Six thumbs up for On the Dock restaurant. At the end of our diner, we met the owner and we can say that the whole environment respect his spirit and warm approach. A great gentleman who asked us if we appreciated our diner and took time with us and showed he cared about us. Finally, we took a walk on the dock observing the clear sky and stars. So, it is more than eating, it is a matter of living into a good experience for a moment. Congratulations to the staff and his owner. Simon, Melanie and Zack (Aug, 2019)

Corinne Roper

Loved it! My sister and I shared mussels. She had seafood chowder that was delicious. Mussels out of shell so you don't have to dig into your chowder to get them out. I had lobster roll with Caesar salad. Delicious and great service. Wine was great too. ????????

Andrew Drake

Had the BEST fish and chips here today. Thank you for your excellent food and excellent service!!

Tammie MACLACHLAN

Service was top notch, view was splendid and food was scrumptious!!! What more can you ask for? We will be back...

Bob Bryant

Excellent 3 hour deep sea fishing in North Rustico. Captain Bob and First Mate Phillip made a very great team on the 45 foot Two Sisters fishing vessel. Caught lots of mackerel and cod (catch and release). A fun time.

Suran Nikzad

John Mark Dickinson

Service was average at best. Waitress at one point was away for quite some time when we needed something. Fries I thought were over done. Starter was great. Calamari and crab dip good. Likely wouldn't go back and would check out other places in the region next time I holiday here.

Andrea MacDonald

Food was very fresh and filling! My husband had a grilled chicken burger and I had the fish tacos. Fries were amazing, kept eating even after we were full. The beer was slightly warm when served, but that may have been due to the abnormally warm weather. Drinks were slightly overpriced but as to be expected at a busy tourist destination.

Colin Mcdearmid

Great spot

Melanie Nicole

I came from Toronto ans I ate there with my childhood friends , I had the lobster dinner. It was amazing!! You can definetely taste the difference of freshness! Highly recommend!

Dimitrios James

Terrible customer service. RACIST staff. The white people in front of us were able to get a table. There were empty tables available. They told us no tables available. Very upsetting to see this treatment. Please do not eat here.

Ken Williams

Outstanding, great well portioned menu, and respectful friendly service.

Helen Kempers

Great food and service. Sit inside or on deck overlooking water.

Robin Kay

The food was surprisingly tasty. I had the veggie burger (a Beyond Meat burger) which was tasty and an excellent potatoe salad. The lobster role was also quite good as we're the fries. Wonderful view and very friendly staff.

Doug Motty

Food was delicious and service was excellent.

John McDonald

Beautiful location on the dock at North Rustico harbor. Overlooking the bay enjoy delicious reasonably price food while watching the fishing boats pass by with their local catch. The service was prompt and friendly. The staff were lovely and worked hard to please. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys eating in the outdoor in a comfortable light and enjoyable atmosphere. 10/10 in my books.

Fantastic experience, food and service. Loved the authentic food...mustard pickles on the side, homemade biscuits, etc. Recommend!

deb murray

One of our most favourite resturants on PEI. Amazing views. Super staff. Food is always delicious.

Tony LaRoche

We originally planned to eat dinner at Blue Mussel Cafe, and arrived today at 4:15, were told it would be about 20 minutes, and received a pager. At 4:30 (15 minutes later) we were told that the manager said no more people could come in until 5:00 so they could get ready for dinner. We were told if we wanted to wait another 30 minutes (45 minutes total now), we could be the first ones for dinner. They wouldn't honor the original commitment. We walked next door to On The Dock and had an excellent dinner. My wife had the lobster roll with kale salad, and I had the fish and chips. In the end, I think we got the better food, and definitely the better customer service at On The Dock.

tracy hammett

Staff was extremely friendly, very welcoming . From the chowder to the salad, fishcakes and lobster rolls..the food was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting directly beside the harbour and having our lunch. What a precious gem.

Doug Dunbar

Best food on the Island!

gerard maclellan

Been there 4 times great service and awsome food every time

Jason Sherwood

LOVED IT!! MUST STOP!! Girls. Words can't say!!!!!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!! Tasty food all the way.

KP Destro

What a great place to go - right on the water, great food . We were visiting from Ontario and didn't know what to expect. Pretty cool. It was a bit puzzling as to why they have a mini museum in the restaurant - that space could maybe be better used to seat more customers...or for washrooms that you can access without having to go ask for a key like at a truck stop and then walking around outside the building. Or possibly the space could be used for the kitchen area, and then the current kitchen area could be used for tables with a view of the water. Anyways, despite the odd decisions in the design if the place it's a great place. After sampling the fish cakes I seriously contemplated a career in fish cake smuggling...

Mike Palmieri

Ordered the lobster on a roll and had the side of fries. The lobster was fresh and there were nice sized chunks in the sandwich. Price I can't speak about. It was just under 20 for the order. It was very delicious and the view when eating on the deck was just beautiful.

francois chalut

(Translated) Really good, great service and great place. If one day I come back to Prince Edward Island. I'm coming back to eat right here. (Original) Vraiment bon, super service et endroit génial. Si un jour je reviens à l'île du Prince Édouard. Je reviens directement manger ici.

Matthew Stone

The food was delicious with lots of options even during covid. The price was good and the portions were HUGE. I had to take a lot of mine to go and I couldn't even finish all the leftovers for lunch the next day. The fish and chips was the best I've had in a very long time.

Stephen Andrews

Very friendly staff as usual and awesome food ! And so cool looking over the water...

Leith Doucette

Great Food and Great Service !!

Fabulous and fresh food. Kale salad with lobster roll was outstanding. Also heard the scallop burger and fish and chips were great. Atmosphere is relaxed with nice scenery out on outdoor deck.

Stephen Murray

Excellent fish. Great location. Engaging staff. Will go back to explore the menu further.

Angela Eatmon

Best food we've had on the island!!! Delicious! All 8 of us loved our meal. The seafood chowder is packed full of seafood and flavor! The lobster roll has a ton of lobster, the fries and gravy are amazing. My son and his friend said that it was the best fish n chips they've ever had. Service was great and that view ...wow!! Can't wait to go back!

Brigid Toner

My visitors from out of town RAVED about On the Dock. They loved the fish and chips ( even more than some places i recommended lol) and the lobster roll. This place has a beautiful location and ( unfortunately) can be overlooked due to the very popular Blue Mussell cafe next door - but based on our experience this place holds it's own. We will be back

Kelly RH

Food was ok. Chowder not so good ...

Gary Robinson

Excellent fish n chips

Marie-Christine Vanier

Simon Lemay

My wife and I had supper at the On the Dock. Beautiful set-up by the water. The atmosphere was very friendly and the staff very courteous and professional. The chowder was full of large chunks of seafood, and the biscuits were right out of the oven. The service was excellent and very prompt. I would recommend strongly if you visit North Rustico, make a point to experience this restaurant by the water.

Mark Dun

Great spot great food

Catherine Delaney

Great food, great service, GREAT environment! Went there with my dog and had lunch on the patio, very peaceful with a beautiful view right on the harbour. Will definitely be back!

Top Food with possibility to reserve a table. The much more famous Restaurant “Blue Mussel“ (directly in front of the On the Dock), has maybe a bigger Menue, but the view from On the Dock is unbeatable. Very friendly staff and very Family friendly!

Lynne Jarvis

The view was lovely- right on the water. The fish was very good-light crispy batter but the fries were just ok. Both served with coleslaw which was very good. Service was slow but price was good compared to other restaurants.

Rob O'Connor

Excellent

Jack Duggan

Great service,food and hospitality

Chris MacIsaac

Great food awesome view.

ron jackson

We like On The Dock. The Sea food could not be more fresh. And it's quality is honored by excellent preparation. You get a most excellent meal. Delivered with tremendous service and a view that rivals any in PEI. Go there and eat! Does not matter what you order (however, I can recommend the lobster sandwich, fish and chips and the mussels) you will be pleased.

Nikita P

Having worked in the industry for years I was genuinely shocked by how we were treated here. We decided to go here for our 1 night out on our weekend getaway and were extremely disappointed. After researching where to go on the island and hearing great things about this place we were very excited to give it a try. We called ahead of time at 6:25pm to see how busy they were and they told us that there might be a short wait as they don’t take reservations but to come on down. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:55pm thinking the restaurant was open until 8 (as listed online) and were met at the door by a very rude waitress who told us they were closing and stopped taking tables at 6:45pm. Not only did no one tell us on the phone that last call was at 6:45pm but they told us to come down to the restaurant. We received no apology, we’re not given any suggestions about where else to go, were not able to order takeout and were essentially ushered out the door. Had we not called ahead we would have been more understanding but there was a complete lack of communication or general concern for customer experience from this establishment. While their prices are reasonable I’d suggest going elsewhere if you can. Good customer service is always worth the few extra bucks.

MaryAnne McMahon

We were so lucky to find this great spot on the pier at North Rustico Harbour. Wonderful fresh seafood cooked to order by a great PEI cook. Not very large, especially on a rainy day when outside tables are not available but worth any wait. Just great.

Frank Balcom

Some of the best fish and chips we have had...excellent service as well!

Suzanne Burrell

Showed Gil today after reading online that is was dog friendly… huge disappointment as it’s not! Update your info please thanks

Jessica

We had both the mussels, an order of the tomato chipotle variety and one of the blueberry ale. Both were delicious! We sat on their patio right on the boardwalk with our small puppy and the server was kind enough to give our pup a bowl of water. Would recommend!

Louise Aasen

First time visit here. The two of us decided to sit outside in the sheltered area. Beautiful spot on the water. Our server was attentive and kept checking on us. Crab dip was our starter with a cool beverage. Our mains were fish and chips for me and a bowl of delicious chowder for my friend. We both had a hard time finishing. In fact I had to leave the best fries ever! This will be my Restaurant of choice in the harbour on my next visit to North Rustico.

Veronica Barrios

Chowder and fish tacos were delicious! There terrace is very nice during the summer. Prices are ok. I will definitely go back.

Awesome food, great service! We got the fish & chips and the seafood chowder, which were perfect. The draft beer is also excellent, highly highly recommend! Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful highlight of our trip!

There is a bit of a wait (40 minutes in our case, which we were told upon arrival) but it was worth it. All the food we sampled were great - lobster rolls, bar clams, mussels, nachos, even the kale salad that came as a side. The wait staff was super busy but she was very pleasant, patient, and efficient. Enjoyed great views of the harbor while waiting for the food.

We had dinner there last night, Sept 25, 2021, the mussels were very good, I had the fish tacos, amazing, I loved them, real battered fish, the batter was light and crispy, the homemade potato salad scrumptious and the coleslaw excellent, not mushy but crisp with nice long pieces of cabbage and carrots. The whole meal was very satisfying, very filling, didn't have room for dessert! The view of the Harbour was lovely, we sat on the patio. Our server was so pleasant it was really nice to talk with her. Unfortunately they close after today. Next year, we will definitely make On The Dock a must stop. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Best fish I’ve had on PEI. Melt in your mouth haddock with very little batter. Scrumptious ????

Finally got around to posting some reviews on the places I ate at in PEI. "On the Dock" was AMAZING! We ate here in September of 2018 during Halibut season. The weather was incredible so we dined outside. First off, the server was so friendly. Secondly and most importantly, the food was incredible!! I dined on Chowder and Fish Cakes...ohhhhh sooooo gooooodddd! As we were dining, Arsenault's fishermen came in with their catch of the day. We were lucky enough to be there while they were pulling the Halibut off the fishing boats and they were HUGE! What an experience that was. I am returning to PEI this summer and will definitely be eating here again. Keep up the great work "On the Dock" all the way from Toronto! C U Soon!

Very accommodating. Food was delicious and view was great! Daiquiris were so yummy. The waitresses was great even though the kids were a bit wild.

Lovely place to eat on the dock, watch the sun set, boats, birds, etc. The hostess and server were so very nice, friendly and welcoming. The food was awesome, from seafood chowder to beautiful salad, fish and chips, scallop burger. Had the blueberry draft beer, just right. Wonderful experience all around!

Well... when it says on their chalkboard 8pm closing time on a beautiful Friday and refuse to take more customers (us 4 and another couple tried right after) at 745pm. It can be very frustrating. 8pm ?? Why in the world would you close at 8pm on a georgous Friday night ? At least try to accommodate the customer. Definitively not a good way to do business. And yes, the location is amazing, the food ? Absolutely no idea.. Thanks again...
