“We’ve had food and drink here for quite some time. Amazing cocktails from a barman that tells us of his delight to have selection over the drink catalog. A peak into positive management that shows longevity and a care for its employees. A business that deserves its support.”
“we had an amazing first experience at Haru KBBQ! we called as we weren't sure how busy they'd be and just mentioned we would be there in 10 minute, to our surprise, the hostess greeted us and asked if we had called. when we said yes, she let us know they had reserved a table for us! From that first greeting, the experience continued to exceed our expectations! The service was exceptional, the food was beautifully prepared and tasted better than we ever could have expected and they even had our favourite Moth Lane Beer on offer!! we went in hoping to find "our spot" and we knew by the time the appetizers were on the table that we found just what we were looking for. Oh, and the fried Chicken...unbelievable!!”
“As someone who appreciates great service, cleanliness and vegetarian and vegan food I have to say this place IMPRESSED me and everything was delicious. wonderful people. super clean. Looking forward to dining here regularly. Delicious x 100.”
“It was my first time trying oysters and I highly recommend this place for beginners! It was awesome and not fishy at all!
Also it’s a fancy place but a bit expensive…
Other foods may not be as good but the oysters are amazing!”

“Papa Joe’s Christmas dinner to-go was fantastic! Everything was cooked perfectly, the reheat was easy, and everything turned out wonderfully. Very generous portions, too. It made the holiday great, especially being able to spend time together instead of cooking. I hope they do it again next year!”
“Just had one of the best feeds of Chinese food I've had in a long time. Delicious food, A++ service. The staff are so friendly!”

“The staff went above and beyond for us - we have 4 kids, 1 being a cranky 2 year old. I think maybe the man was a manager but he came out and held our toddler while we waited for food - which they got out extra speedy so the kids wouldn’t be waiting long. They gave the kids toys and were just overall super pleasant and lovely, kind and patient. Thank you! Ps not to mention the food was wonderful.”
“Good Food and Great Service”
“We had the best Lamb Rogan Josh at Taste of India this week. I ordered it medium for extra spice and it was delicious. Lamb can be easily overcooked and this was cooked perfectly! Great portion size, would only need to split one protein with one vegetable curry for two people with naan/rice. We will be back :D”

“Had a great time here on my first PEI trip. I had the haddock tacos which were delicious and well seasoned and I found the service really friendly and accommodating. There also happened to be very engaging live Irish/PEI traditional music which was a real hoot. By the end I felt like an Islander myself!”
“The Brickhouse The food was excellent, and the atmosphere and service were exceptional! We especially loved the globe chandelier in the stairwell —it’s a stunning centerpiece and quickly became a topic of conversation (though not entirely for the right reason). With a good dusting once or twice a week, it would truly shine and capture everyone’s attention for at least a minute or two.”
“A gem. Very innovative yet authentic cuisine which is a departure from the "Manga Cake" tourist venues usually found around town. Very attentive and friendly staff. Great vibe. Mike (I think) the host, was charming and fun. Music was great albeit a bit loud for this geezer. We'll make this a regular.”
“Dropped in while touring Charlettown – we got right in and sat at the perfect table, it was inside but with the windows/doors open, it felt like you were outside but temp was it was much cooler. Service was quite spotty – it took a long time to get water and drink orders but eventually someone showed up. It didn’t even seem that busy, there were plenty of staff hovering around the back bar. I ordered the BBQ Burger with a Caesar salad– wife ordered the salmon and easy kid order a cheese burger with fries and difficult kid order the nachos. BBQ Burger was delicious, and the cesar salad was exceptionally delicious, I wasn’t expecting that different taste, next time I would order the big salad as a meal. BBQ Burger, no complaints, it was tasty – easy kid gave the burger a 9.7 and picky kid gave the nachos a 6.7 because there wasn’t enough cheese, yet she did eat the whole plate. Wife said the salmon was cooked to perfection but there were no herbs – there didn’t seem to be a lot of vegetables. There was rhubarb as a vegetable along with small chunks of carrot. The rice was crunchy but it was good. Seems like a great spot – according to other reviews, might have been an off day with service but it does seem to happen randomly.”

“Thank you for hosting the crazy South African group of 29 last night, you rocked it! We came for Bunny Chow but some of us had other meals and everything was delicious!”

“I ordered a Bailey’s cold brew with the Bailey’s cold foam. It is delicious! I went through the drive thru, and though it was busy, it was fast.
Vegetarian options: Most of their stuff comes with the vegetarian option.
Dietary restrictions: They will make your food the way you ask.
Parking: They have a small section of a large parking lot. Spaces close the to store are hard to get, but there is lots of other parking if you’re willing to walk.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs, there is a ramp into the building, and automatic door buttons further back from the door.”
“This McDonald's location was pretty busy when I visited which was lunch time. There was still some parking available when I visited. But the drive thru line was extremely long. Inside was also busy probably due to mostly students visiting. Food quality was good and service was pretty fast. I would visit this McDonald's location again if I was in the area and looking to get something from McDonald's”
“We dined indoors and Sarah was fantastic taking care of my celiac condition and recommended great choices. We then went outside for drinks and more gf dessert ( lol ) Chole went above and beyond when she delt with some Personal concerns we encountered. She is a treasure. Thanks so much”
“We had the Korean menu, spicy chicken & beef bulgogi, and it was amazing! Very nice spice profile, just enough heat it's hard for us to get spicy food in Maine!). I asked the server if Korean was their specialty and she said yes, the owner was Korean and while Sushi is still very popular, he cooked authentic Korean as well. Highly recommend, excellent food at a very reasonable price!”

“My wife and I were visiting the island and figured we’d grab breakfast at a local dine in restaurant, and chose Receiver Coffee - The Brass Shop. SO GLAD we did! WOW wow wow wow wow! The food was DELICIOUS and the coffee was amazing. The ONLY thing that topped the food was the HIGH QUALITY service we got from the young man that served us. One of the best…ever! Seriously one of our best dining experiences. Next drop over to the Island will definitely include a stop here!”

“OK so I visited PEI a few weeks ago and was on the hunt for the best fries. I’m voting this place! First, the fries were EXCELLENT. Hand cut and they don’t start frying them until you order, so super fresh and hot. Also the girls working that evening were so lovely, wish I knew their names because they were so friendly and kind and deserve a shoutout. It was later in the day and the service was still A+.
It’s a small spot, but has seating indoors and outdoors, plus it is near a little park and the harbour front; benches everywhere. Super clean and well-maintained.”
“My partner and I have come here a lot over the years! Their drinks are always super delicious and it's the highlight of coming downtown, and the owners are very kind! I really wish they offered some sort of delivery though, since coming into town isn't always easy for me, but on the other hand I don't think my wallet would survive it haha! 🤣 Definitely give these people your business; this is the best bubble tea spot in town!”

“5-Star Review for an Amazing South Indian Dining Experience! 🥳 We recently celebrated a friend's birthday at Pizza Donair and Hub, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! It was specially arranged on request! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and ensured everything was perfectly arranged for the celebration. The arrangements for the party were flawless, with seating, and timely service that made the event feel truly special. Every little detail was taken care of, and the team went above and beyond to make it a memorable evening. The food was absolutely mind-blowing! We tried Masala Dosa and it was packed with authentic flavors, made with love, and served hot. From the crispy dosas to the spicy sambar and specially made red chutney for us, every bite took us on a delicious journey through South India. We were all deeply satisfied – not just with the food, but also the warm hospitality and top-notch service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a place to enjoy authentic South Indian cuisine or host a small celebration with friends and family, I highly recommend this place, just let them inform in advance. It’s a must-visit, and we’ll definitely be back!”

“We came from NS. A group of over 20 of us…we should have made a reservation but it was a very last minute decision. The entire staff accommodated us without question. Super friendly staff, quick service and awesome atmosphere. Thank you from the 15U Fury Basketball team (and their parents)!!!!🏀”

“As someone who grew up in Charlottetown and has been dragging visiting relatives here for years, I never get tired of Founders' Hall. Stopped in on a quiet Tuesday evening last week and had the place almost entirely to myself, which made the whole experience feel a lot more personal than usual. The animatronic Fathers of Confederation exhibit in the main hall still gets me every time - there is something genuinely moving about hearing those voices in the low light. If you are a local who hasn't been in a while, it is absolutely worth a revisit.”

“Absolutely the best Vietnamese food in Charlottetown! Everything we ordered was exceptional, the chicken pho had a perfect, clean broth that tasted incredibly authentic, and the spring rolls were fried to absolute perfection. We also tried the steamed rice with duck, which was hands-down one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
Beyond the food, the owner is truly the heart and soul of the place; he is so welcoming and passionate about what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a top tier meal that’s consistently delicious, you have to stop by Dr. H’Mealcare. This place is a gem”

“For the price of admission, I would wish Trailside Music Hall would invest in some more comfortable seating rather than the worn out collection of kitchen chairs they currently use.”
“wonderful atmosphere with great staff and wonderful music !! will return for sure 110% ! 💯”
“Buono Mangia has the BEST Italian food! We love coming here! I get the cannelloni every time without fail!”

“We had a wonderful time sitting on the patio, enjoying the view. The food and service was wonderful! I am partially disabled and slowly made my way up the stairs only later to find out they have an elevator! They need to put that on their ads and sinage around the area”

“I was pleasantly surmised by the ambience, big, clean and comfortable.. I got the special, a chicken wrap, and it was loaded with real chicken. The fries were excellent. Just would like to see a less heavy hand with the salt in the soup and chicken salad I had butnfull of flavour”

“Had a fantastic experience at Hunter’s Ale House last night! It was my first visit, but I can't wait to come back. My waitress was incredibly attentive and sweet, checking in frequently to ensure everything was to my liking. The manager (possibly the owner?) also went above and beyond, stopping by the table multiple times to chat and show excellent customer care. The smash burger was absolutely delicious - a standout dish that sealed the deal. I will definitely be back!”

“Took my two kids here last Saturday afternoon and we had a great time without the usual mealtime chaos. The pasta dishes came out fast, which is a lifesaver when you have hungry little ones who can't wait, and both kids cleaned their plates. Our server was genuinely warm with the kids, bringing them crayons and keeping drinks topped up without us having to ask. We'll definitely be making Boston Pizza our go-to spot for easy family lunches in Charlottetown.”

“The staff here are the best! They're always kind, helpful, and just awesome! The donuts and coffee are always fresh and delicious (unlike their competitors, Timmies)! The toasted coconut donuts, fritters, & chocolate dips are the best. Robin's is great, and this location specifically is a gem.”
“I would go back for the Horchata over and over again. kids loved the food. Which is awesome because they can be picky. Loved the service.”
