“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.”
“Absolutely the best meal we had during our 1 week stay on PEI! Impeccable service. Creative chef. Relaxing no-hurry dining. Great wine selection. Brick pressed chicken was the star of the night! Surf and turf cannot be improved! Fresh local vegetables. Highly recommend everything on the menu.”
“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.”

“easily the best fish & chips I've had ! 10-10 service !!!!! ♡ fantastic experience !!!!!”
“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!”

“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.”
“Stopped by the lunch takeout window last weekend and the braised pork belly was just as good as I remembered, nice and tender with that sweet-savory glaze. I've been coming here for probably three years now and the staff always remember my usual order, which is a nice touch. The little dining area gets tight around noon so I'd suggest going before 11:30 if you want a table instead of waiting. Still my go to spot in Charlottetown for a quick, satisfying meal that doesn't break the bank.”
“Absolutely amazing everything we have eaten there. It is well worth the wait!”
“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!”

“We grabbed a table at Olde Dublin Pub last weekend and the fish and chips were seriously good, nice crispy batter and not greasy at all. The live music in the evening gave it this cozy, authentic Irish pub vibe that made the whole night feel special. Our server was friendly and quick even though the place was packed, which we really appreciated. Already planning to go back next time we're in Charlottetown.”
“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”

“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.”
“Delicious mussels, seafood chowder and Lobster roll make this a highly recommended stop in PEI”

“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)!!!!🏀”

“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!”

“As an out of province visitor, we had to try the PEI fries. We were not disappointed. The fries were crispy, fresh and so good. (I don't have a picture because my kids ate them all ). I also tried a funnel cake. It was my first but not my last. It was delicious. Im not a big fan of fried desserts nor powder sugar but this was really good and not too sugary. There is like 2 tables , so not much seating.”
“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!”
“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!”

“We stopped by Founders' Hall last weekend while visiting from Ontario and it ended up being the highlight of our Charlottetown trip. The multimedia exhibits on the Confederation story were way more engaging than I expected, especially the little theater room with the sound and light show. One of the staff members at the front desk gave us tips on parking nearby and even suggested the best time to come back for the evening light display along the waterfront. We easily spent two hours inside and left wanting to tell everyone back home to add it to their list.”

Gentleman at the cash was so nice and patient.
Recommend 10/10”

“Buono Mangia has the BEST Italian food! We love coming here! I get the cannelloni every time without fail!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“We stopped in Charlottetown for a late lunch around 2pm on our road trip and were glad we did, the smash burger with the BOOM sauce was outrageously good. My husband and I have eaten our way through a lot of small town diners over the years and the staff here were some of the friendliest, cheerfully walking us through the menu since it was our first visit. The patio seating gave us a nice view of the street while we ate, and parking right out front made it easy on our tired feet after a morning of sightseeing. We will definitely swing back through next time we are on the island.”
“Had a great experience at KFC recently! 🍗
A special shoutout to Geevu, who was super friendly, patient, and made sure everything was perfect with my order. Really appreciated the positive attitude and quick service—it definitely made the visit better.
As for the chicken… it was 🔥! Fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned—exactly what you expect from KFC. You could tell it was made right and served hot.
Overall, great service + great food = happy customer. Will definitely be coming back!”

“Food was simply super! We wished they were available across Canada! Simple
Homely food touch. Our tummies felt so light after our tummies were full. We loved paneer poutine, paneer burger and paneer curry bowl. Owners were really friendly and service was fantastic.”
“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.”
