Review from Jonny B.
Toronto, ON
A burger so good I had to photograph it!
Stumbled across The Merchantman Pub this afternoon during a great day in Charlottetown. First off I was shocked at the size of this place it's big, but still has great charm - cool art on the walls, good music (IMO) etc. Parents - they don't have a kids menu, but offered chicken fingers with fries or salad (that was not on the menu) to my daughter.
She went with the homemade soup of the day, chicken vegetable -fantastically fresh, loads of white meat chicken and veggies. My wife had chicken toddies - which I can best describe as blackened chicken in an egg roll type batter, with a side caesar salad - both very tasty.
I left the best for last - the east west burger... I have to admit that I was a little put off when the server said "no substitutions" to this award winning burger - but she guaranteed I would love it!
I'm going to break it down by layer as it was that amazing:
1 - bottom bun
2 - Asian slaw tossed in delicious wasabi mayo
3 - 3 strips thick cut crispy bacon
4 - a 1/4 pound patty perfectly cooked through then brushed with a terriaki glaze
5 - roasted red pepper relish
6 - pickled ginger
7 - the perfect amount of lettuce
8 - top bun
This burger was a slice of awesome... Even my wife had food envy. You have to try it... The pics do not do it justice... An amazing flavor sensation in each bite.
Top it off with great service - ice cold beer... The Merchantman became my new fav. Vacation pub. When i'm back in Charlottetown The Merchantman will absolutely be on my list. -

Stumbled upon this place because we couldn't find the actual restaurant we intended to go to, and were too hungry to go scavenger hunting, I was delightfully surprised to be seated at the bar (since all the tables were taken) with plenty of room and great wait service.
They advertise their hamburgers all about this place, and my mother, who came with me here, thoroughly enjoyed hers, so I can only recommend their cows as far as what my mommy thinks. Aside from that, I had the potato chip nachos.... AMAZING! I don't know how else to describe some invention comprised of PEI's staple crop, it works just as well as regular nachos, but has a great kick to it because their potatos, and yet comes with everything nachos would (guacomole, salsa, sour cream, beans, jalapenos, etc.). I would recommend getting them and also ordering the chicken with it, as it is very tender and moderately spiced, perfect for nachos.
I had their rum, which is apparently unique to them for over 100 years... It didn't taste much different from Captain Morgan; it's not worth getting excited over, but its priced well enough that you might want to give it a try. This place is definitely affordable for food, you cans teal away for under C$10 without alcohol, but why would you want to do that?
The wait staff is very accommodating, they check on you often and are very knowledgeable about what goes on in the kitchen, don't be afraid to ask!
4 stars because of their unique menu offerings, solid atmosphere and great wait staff.
