I left 10lbs heavier that day...my stomach didn't know what was coming.
I had the lobster...but the most memorable experience there was the PEI mussels...UNLIMITED PEI MUSSELS! The bf, his dad and I ate like 8 buckets.
The service was really nice, even though we had a crazy amount of food, they didn't judge us. At least not in front of us.
Did I mention the salad bar was huge!? The place is also very big...it even had a gift store in it. Very touristy. :)
It's right on the pier, so after eating your fill...you can walk it off! Really nice view...I can't wait to go back!!! -

No visit to the PEI is done right without a trip to Fisherman's Wharf. Located on the north end of the Island you can book-end your trip with your choice of touristy action - Green Gables, Cavendish Beach sunsets, they're all close by.
So here's how it works: You select your main entree from the popular lobster to fish to steaks to chicken. Each meal, priced differently, comes with the famous 60-foot salad bar, mussels, chowder and bread - all unlimited. The salad bar features your traditional salads and ingredients along with oddities like hummus and pita triangles, tabouleh, garlic bread and pizza. All of it is done above what one would expect from a place like this, it's all tasty, replenished quickly and very satisfying. If you can manage room at the end you're offered a featured dessert or you can take as many trips as you want to the cold bar for pies, cakes, squares, tarts and soft serve ice cream.
You will leave morbidly obese, but you will leave fulfilled and pleased, having experienced the bounty of PEI the Island way. Don't pass up the chance, it's great. -

Really great food and very cool experience! Lobster suppers were mentioned in our Lonely Planet book as a "must do" while in PEI and I'm really glad we did it.
So the restaurant is massive. It seats like 400 people--imagine that. Now imagine the place being packed full people eating lobster everywhere! Awesome!
The restaurant was easy to find (thanks to the GPS) and we got a table right away. You order your lobster supper ranging from 1-2 lbs.(or other entree) at the front and then have a seat.
The server took a while to greet us but the place was packed. So she come back with piping hot seafood chowder and a basket of freshly baked bread---We are off to a great start.
Its a 60ft. buffet which was packed full of everything from different types of potato salad, to noodles, to pies and pastries. The best part was the UNLIMITED Island mussels--they were very fresh and constantly being refilled---YUMMY!!! This is PEI--best mussels ever!
You let the server know when your ready for your lobster so it's steamed freshly. The 1 lb. was very tender and tasty.
The food on the buffet was actually really good. There was lots of variety and everything was really fresh, very tasty and creative. The quality of the food was great. I was really impressed!
Bottom Line= This is a must do if you are on PEI. It was the best meal we had while on the island and its a really cool experience!
I can't wait to come back!Listed in: O'Canada

This has become a family ritual while visiting my extended family on the island in the summers. My brothers try to have buffet eating contests to get their moneys worth. It is super expensive for the quality but it's great for family fun and you can never go wrong with a lobster supper! Yummy. You'll see me next summer!

We were disappointed to see that many Lobster Suppers in the Cavendish area were not open on Victoria Day. Luckily, although Fisherman's Wharf was not doing their "Lobster Supper," their regular restaurant section was still open for à la carte dinners that day.
Service was brisk but not unfriendly. We sat down in the large wood-panelled room, decorated in the manner of a ship's galley, and my husband ordered the famous Lobster Supper while I opted for the slightly healthier pan-fried haddock with rice and veggies.
Both of our meals came with the all-you-can eat salad bar, and we attacked the dozen or so salad selections with vigour. After we returned to the table, my husband's huuuge bowl of PEI mussels and seafood chowder arrived quickly. As I don't eat mussels, I left them to his own devices but I enjoyed my salads - good but not particularly creative- and ate heartily.
Our main courses arrived shortly thereafter. My fish was moist and well-seasoned although the two filets were a little small. The roasted vegetables were nicely al dente but featured mostly carrots (I only counted one spear of potato and 2 or 3 spears of sweet potato). However, the rice pilaf was heavenly. It was buttery, aromatic, and the texture was perfect, e.g. soft yet each individual grain of rice was still distinct. Tastes of my husband's butter-dipped lobster chunks were satisfyingly rich.
For desserts, two out of the three sweets offered at the 'salad' bar were pretty good and my husband's cherry pie was just OK, probably made worse by the fact that it was served cold. We certainly enjoyed this meal if not for the sheer quantity and pretty decent quality (a strong 3.5, maybe even 4 stars) overall. To digest, we wandered over to the attached supersized gift shop that sold all things lobster, and laughed off our dinner while looking at the kitschy knick knacks. A great PEI dining experience to remember.
