Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers & Restaurant

I had a wonderful time here. I was on a tour with Royal Caribbean and our guide brought us here for lunch- it was lobster rolls for most people (my husband loved his- and the potato salad was brilliant and for people with allergies to lobster they had veggie rolls or chicken rolls- and even gluten free! I have a really awful allergy to corn (which is in everything- even baking powder and powdered sugar so sometimes I can't eat at all on tours- but these lovely, lovely people made me a salad without dressing and plain lobster! It was so good. Really a super treat, and I'm so grateful to them. I CAN go all day without food and I have, but of course it's nice not to. I also loved the boutique and bought myself the cutest floppy sunhat with a lobster on it- so I'll always remember my time on PEI. (Which I loved- recommend the island to you as it's just a delight. Everywhere you go there's something lovely.

So I am biased but we had a great time here. Not much to look at inside or outside but the prices were decent. We couldn't go help ourselves with the salad bar during COVID but we could check off boxes of the food we wanted to try and they would bring it to us. Seafood was fresh. Salad bar was decent but not anything special. What made it special was the service. Our server went beyond what he needed to, to make sure that we were comfortable. He was friendly, likeable, fast, and kind. We actually had to hunt him to give him a generous tip because you need to pay upfront at the till for everything. And there wasn't a tip option when we paid. But he did his service above and beyond most of the people we know that serve expecting a tip. What was the was the best was another server. We have a daughter with dual diagnosis. She has Down syndrome and autism. And she doesn't enjoy eating. We got there late, and she wasn't interested in eating so she sat in the middle of the floor. It was a big restaurant with only a few people eating so we left her there. And ALL the staff instead of rolling their eyes as they walked by either waved or said hi. And then there was this lady. Who if anyone reading this knows who she is, please message me. I would like to thank properly. After she was done with her table, she put down her tray and sat and said hi to our girl and copied her movements (she rocks for comfort) and our daughter who doesn't particularly likes to be touched ended up snuggling in for a cuddle. I couldn't pay enough for this experience. And when I was wiping away tears and thanking her she kindly shrugged and said it was nothing. It was everything. And all the servers treated us as well if they served us or not or if they were being tipped or not. Go there on this principal alone.

We went there after viewing videos online about the place. So we decided to try it out. We went in the middle of the afternoon, so the place was empty. We also stop at the boutique afterwards. The good: Food was actually good and fresh. Salads were very good. Waitress was a sweetheart and truly great. The younger staff that came in at 4pm to prepare for the evening were also good, kept passing to clean the table. Chicken was very good. Buckets on table for good residues. The bad: Menu at entrance can be confusing. It is expensive, so you have to eat a lot from the salad bar to match up the price . Deserts in the little pick up fridge is not very modern. Chairs uncomfortable. In the end, this is a good place to go to if you have the money. But l can see hod it can get very busy around supper time.

Their infamous 60 feet long salad bar AYCE local mussels draws in plenty of locals buses of tourists alike. THE ATMOSPHERE We arrived on a Tuesday night 6pm and the parking lot although sufficiently big) was already very full. Once we parked got to the front entrance, we entered at the RIGHT sided doors to get to the buffet not the a la carte part of the restaurant. Then we lined up for 20minutes to pay for our entree meal which automatically includes access to the salad bar mussels buffet). You can also just pay $23 for only the AYCE buffet with no entree. All alcoholic drinks are extra. Once we got seated, we handed our VERY friendly sweet waiter our receipt with our respective entree meal. From then onwards, you can order the complimentary clam chowder bread for the waiter to bring to the table. Otherwise, we bee lined straight to the AYCE mussels salad bar. TIP#1: don 't go crazy at the buffet, save some room for your entree meal! TIP#2: use the plastic buckets to easily pile the mussels to bring back to your table. TIP#3: wear the plastic bib because things will get messy! THE FOOD The salad bar had an amazing selection...from simple green salads, different potato salads, to Mediterranean style. At the end of the salad bar, there was bread pudding with a brown butter sauce, the freshly steamed MUSSELS, fountain soda, and tons of dessert! There was a soft serve machine and all types of pies. They also have a daily kitchen dessert for us it was Strawberry shortcake) that the waiter offered to bring to our table. The Entrees: LOBSTER 1.5LBS $48) you can get it served cold what the islander locals prefer) or hot. We had ours hot the lobster was cooked right! Although it was expensive...we were on vacation wanted to try a 'lobster supper ' haha. Definitely have it with melted butter, use the plastic pick to get the claw meat out, follow the table top paper instructions on how to breakdown a lobster! FRIED SHRIMP $36) the shrimp were giant and cooked fried pretty well. It also came with a large side of potatoes you can choose mashed, baked, or fries). The Buffet: Overall great selection. The highlights for me were the different potato salads the mussels! It was steamed perfectly had just a touch of seasoning to give it some flavour. I really enjoyed their blueberry pie with some soft serve ice cream too. I wished I saved more room to try more dessert pies! I would skip out on the chowder as it was very starchy bland. A lot of the buffet salads like the coleslaw were also too sweet or excessive with the mayo or dressing. OVERALL Fisherman 's wharf had outstanding service, a buffet that was well stocked fresh, and served seafood that was cooked right. Since I only really enjoyed a couple of their buffet items with a very pricey entree, I would rate it 3.5 out of 5!

We stopped in this place for lunch as a part of our excursion booked through Disney Cruise Line. We were on Prince Edward Island for the day. Apparently, the place is normally closed on the day that we were there (Tuesday, October 24, 2017), so it was just the excursions from the cruise that stopped in here for lunch. Since it was just the tour groups coming in, it was fairly easy getting in and out. Within a few minutes of being seated, the servers came out with the lobster rolls (pictures included). The lobster roll was good, but I thought there would have been more than just that for a lunch. Since it was through the excursion, I'm not sure how much of it went to them on a per person basis. Water was at all of the seats in the place where we were reserved. However, there were a few occasions that I needed to get a refill of water and I had to flag down one of the servers over by the server area, as they were primarily just chatting away over there. There were a few communal desserts to choose from at the table, but that was it. Overall, the lobster roll was good, but I thought there would have been more food available there. There was no buffet or salad bar option for the groups that came in that day. This place also has a pretty good sized gift shop right at the entrance to the place. There are plenty of touristy type items to be found there. I didn't get anything there as the shop was pretty busy with multiple buses here at the time. I ended up going outside for a while to enjoy the weather, as it was sunny with temperatures in the low 70s. Overall, this place was okay. I think it would have been better had more been available than just the lobster roll sandwich and potato salad. Myself, along with a few others, just felt we were being rushed in and out of the place. I don't like having that kind of experience. Would I try the place again if I'm up that way again? Maybe. I'd need to check everything that's available, cost, etc. before I make that final decision.
