Oh myyyy goshhhh! This meal delivered! It was everything and MORE for our very first meal on PEi!! The mussels were out of this world! The lobster roll was hot buttered perfection and the Lobster melt was unbelievable! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at mussels or lobster or garlic or brie cheese the same way. Point Prim Chowder house - y’all Nailed it!!

What an experience! Love sitting out on the beach with our food and drinks. Be sure to try the chairs for 2 all the way at the end of the deck (place your order and walk around the corner and walk past the tables). Just can't beat the views. We enjoyed the chowder and lobster salad.

We shared oysters that were okay and my wife had the cheesy delight, which was flavourful. I had the seafood chowder and a lobster roll. Unfortunately, the lobster roll was served with bitter lettuce from the heart. Could I have brought it to their attention...absolutely. But should it have been served...absolutely not. It is a very picturesque location.

Seafood chowder and lobster roll were fantastic. Fresh and piping hot. The view is wonderful as well. Ocean breeze and patio umbrella table finish the experience. Make sure you check it out on the way or after the lighthouse.

Wow, this is my absolute favorite restaurant on the island. Everything is so fresh. We started our feast with the chowder, which is made with bacon. Next, the mussels, so good. Then my favorite, the oysters, they are so delicious. Thank you, Captain John! Finally, the Snow Crab, maybe this is my favorite! They were cooked perfectly in lemon butter they were so fresh and sweet. I still dream of them. Order and grab a seat. Enjoy the view it doesn't get any better. I highly recommend this restaurant. Oh, and there were only 2 of us, so order up! Thank you to the staff they were very attentive and wonderful.

Stopped here with my family (2 adults, 5 kids 5-14) shortly after getting off the PEI ferry. It was just what we were looking for. AMAZING food, BEAUTIFUL views and cold beer. We tried lots of different stuff on the menu (lobster melt, summer pasta, grilled cheese, oysters, clam and potato chowder, house salad, potato salad and coleslaw). Every single dish came out quickly, was hot and tasted amazing. I loved the atmosphere right next to the water. I would definitely recommend stopping at the Prim Point Chowder House.

Everything on the menu was delicious. Specifically, I know this because I tasted quite a variety of their dishes. My taste buds were tantalized with the seafood chowder and the clam chowder + the traditional lobster roll. I would so recommend going out of your way to go to this place. The staff were incredibly kind. A waitress who also happened to be a photographer on the side took pictures for my friend and I. Lastly, you should go to this restaurant not only for the amazing food and staff, but the views are not to be missed either. Friendship paired with great food and beautiful views summarize the wonderful experience at this restaurant.

Had a fantastic time with a serene and peaceful ambience. The food really hit the spot and it was unlike any other chowder I’ve had before. The lobster roll was warm, toasty, and buttery and fresh and very filling. The employees were exceptionally nice and seem to really care that we enjoyed our time there.

It was great 5 years when we happened upon the place by chance. Good news, its still great to this day. I highly recommend getting the biscuit to go with the chowder! Order at the window, receive a buzzer, find a table, and wait for your bowl of seafood delight.

Absolutely beautiful location however, very disappointing food & very expensive. Chowder very poor as little seafood in it. There should be big pieces of fish, scallops & lobster. Steamer pit @ $50. had mussels, little fish & a few crab legs & a few quahaugs( that are very tough). No clams/lobster in it. Plastic forks, knives & dishes. As we were not happy with the food, we were given a bread pudding which was delicious! We can t recommend the food that we had, it was very poor!

Very friendly, pleasant staff. Fast take out order to go. I ate while the missus drove. Had the Seafood Chowder with large buttermilk biscuit. Ok chowder but, wouldn t make the drive to get it again. Everything was diced, almost like someone used a SlapChop. Kinda pricey for what it was. The buttermilk biscuit was huge and crumbly. There s better chowder out there. (August 9 visit)

The food here is amazing! Best lobster roll on the island (I had tasted many by this time) and the view on the patio .. you are sitting oceanside with no obstructions! The hours listed were 12-6 but I learned (tourist) that meant that your food order had to be in to the kitchen by 6 pm. While it is a walk-up window to order food, you can also order beer, wine, etc, and there is table service for water, clearing and anything you might need. We were a group of 5 ordering a few different things and everyone was thrilled with their meal and satisfactorily full when finished. Oh and gluten-free options a plenty. We also dined with a dog, as this is a dog-friendly patio/deck. Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options- the chowders, rolls, you name it. Parking: A small parking lot available and then there is parking on the long dirt road leading to the chowder house. Perhaps not the most suitable for people with mobility limitations.

We ordered the seafood chowder and oysters. The oysters are wild and caught from the Pinette river which is 5 min away from the restaurant. The oysters are eaten raw. Weve never eaten raw oysters before. Only my mom and I ate the oysters. My dad isnt a seafood lover. The oysters tasted very fresh and tasted like the ocean, a bit salty and delicious. Adding the lemon and the horseradish gave the oysters a little kick. The seafood chowder was creamy and delicious. We also never had seafood chowder before. I heard and read that this restaurant had some really good chowder. They have free and very cold water in the water cooler tank outside. They have plastic utensils and cups. Total cost was $40.25. Theres a nice view of the ocean and beach/ocean floor at low tide. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly restaurant. They have water bowls for your furry friends. You can take photos of the Point Prim Lighthouse from here and of the low tide. Parking: Theres enough spaces for about 10 spaces. Kid-friendliness: We saw a family come in and eat with their kids. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp leading to the seating areas of the restaurant.

I was excited to come here after hearing so many great things but was pretty underwhelmed by the food. I ordered the summer pasta which was store bought linguine covered in butter with minced garlic (very little flavour for the amount of garlic suspect it was the garlic from the jar) with some spinach and a few halved cherry tomatoes. You cant add any options to this so I asked for some bacon on the side as one of their menu items contains bacon but was told that wasnt possible. It wouldve been nice to be able to add bacon and/or chicken for a fee. This dish was extremely bland and oily. I had to add salt, pepper to make it edible. My husband had the seafood version and it wasnt much better. Maybe stick to the chowder if you come here, Ive heard good things about it. Great rustic atmosphere and right on the water so nothing to complain about there. Vegetarian options: Limited options. Parking: 10

Point Prim Chowderhouse in PEI is a true culinary gem that deserves all the praise it receives. From the mouthwatering lobster rolls to the delightful seafood pot, this place delivers an exceptional dining experience. The lobster rolls are a revelation, with tender and flavorful lobster meat tucked into perfectly toasted buns. best I ve ever had!! The seafood pot is a medley of mussels, clams, shrimp, and fish cooked to perfection in a savory broth. All of this is complemented by a breathtaking seaside view that adds a touch of magic to the meal. The casual vibe, friendly staff, and warm hospitality make you feel right at home. If youre in PEI and craving delicious seafood in a picturesque setting, Point Prim Chowderhouse is a must-visit.

Firstly, it is no longer the exquisite seafood restaurant it has been. No table service. Kitchen closes at 6pm. No fish on the menu, however the grilled halibut was a special when I was there and is as good as I remember. The menu is condensed but has all the old favourites: lobster rolls, seafood chowder, steamer pot, seafood pasta, oysters. And the ocean vista is the same. On a sunny day there just isnt a better patio on the island. Try the Moonshine mojito

My wife said her Clam Chowder was the best she had ever had. We spent a magical afternoon having our lunch on the patio overlooking the ocean. It was delightful in every way.

Wow, definitely the most expensive seafood chowder my wife and I have ever bought but absolutely the best tasting chowder weve ever had!! Weve had fish chowders from various restaurants across Canada, in the Maritimes, and down the US eastern seaboard but this little shanty on Point Prim makes the best! We got there just before it closed and thought the shrimps and scallops may be a bit chewy if they were left simmering all day but we were amazed that the shrimps and scallops were very tender! And the flavour of the chowder was wonderful with just enough spicy heat to add some zing! We added a piping hot generous biscuit to the order which was quite filling and did the job soaking up the chowder. Great experience eating chowder by the water after climbing the oldest lighthouse on the island!

Be aware, this place is busy! We love chowder and we were told that this place had the best chowder on the island but it was very out of the way. Because it was so off of the beaten path we did not expect to see the volume of guests being served. Of course we had not made a reservation. But we were not turned away. We were told that we could order from the takeaway window and enjoy our food at the tables by the water. This option was perfect for us. Our order arrived within a reasonable time even though it was super busy. We had the chowder , of course, and a biscuit. The chowder was good, but not the best on the island for sure. It was pretty watery but it was loaded with potato and fish and very tasty. The biscuit was very good. It was a well sized portion that was warm and came with a pat of butter. Overall, the experience was not too disappointing but we found the food very overpriced. $13.95 for a small bowl of chowder and $2.95 for the biscuit. We will not be back.

Ive always loved this place but when we went for tge first time this year it was different. No inside dining and the ekderly lady I was with doesnt handle the heat very well and we had to sit outside at picnic tables, place our order at a window and get our own water and pick up our food when it was ready. The prices have gone way up. We both needed a rest room after traveling and hour to get there but in order to use a rest room we would have had to request admittance and be let inside to use tge bathroom. We just decided to eat quickly and go down the road to a convenience store. I wont be back. Too bad. This was one of my favorite places. Karen who owns the place and who has always been so kind and such a great hostess wasnt even very friendly this visit. All in all it wasnt a good experience at all. Sorry.

The dichotomy between take-out andreservation-only fine dining ruins the experience of going to a little local business. They are successful, they know it and they capitalize ont it. Lobster roll was perfect, though.

Thank God this chowderhouse has a caste system in place. Imagine driving 80 km to this remote tourist trap to find you need to reserve a table now for next season. So for this place, without a reservation, you get a picnic table on the dirt and access to a limited menu via take out window service. Lobster roll and a chowder $58 CAD. They have a great view, but not any better than the free view from the Point Prim Lighthouse 200m to their left. Should have packed a picnic you should too. Parking: Plenty of parking.

Out of towners, didnt know this place required a reservation, since this was our last stop in pei after a long ride. Was looking forward to the cheesy oysters, but after driving so long, completely famished - was told its not on the take out menu and the staff would not even try to be accommodating. Would not recommend this place to anyone. No consideration for folks traveling from far.

My husband and I came here last year and had a lovely meal and were looking forward to coming back all year. Unfortunately, this was not a positive experience. We ordered the seafood and clam chowder with a biscuit, a buttered lobster roll, and the house salad. The seafood chowder was excellent as was the biscuit. The clam chowder was not. All we could taste was potato. The lobster roll had far too much lettuce in it. The fresh herb dressing was too thin and didn t cover the salad (which was predominantly iceberg lettuce) which resulted in a very bland salad. I m happy to pay for good food. This was not that and not worth my $80+. I approached the owner after our meal to share our experience, as I feel a few small tweaks would make all the difference for future guests and he told me he was eating his lunch, making it clear he did not want to speak to me. Overall disappointing. Won t be back.

This was a total surprise find. We were driving down this dirt road to check out the lighthouse (visiting from Calgary) and came across this cute little restaurant at the end of the road. We had no idea it was even there so surprised they asked us for reservations. We didn t have any but we were able to order take out and enjoy sitting outside on the picnic tables instead. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Even enjoyed a nice glass of wine. We went with a basic grilled cheese which was good. It s a beautiful spot to soak up the water, views and just relax.

Such a lovely spot, a must experience on the island. Deck awesome, lots of ambiance with curtains and lights..and the sea air, the waves, the sun if youre lucky, but even with clouds its a great experience. Indoor dining as well, if reservations. If not, outdoor dining available... Parking: Parking available, even on side of road, its the end of the road, light house is last thing...nice too! Disability parking, and a ramp as,well! Wheelchair accessibility: Several parkingspots available.

The reviews are pretty accurate. Excellent clam chowder and the grilled cheese with pulled pork was beyond expectations - by a lot. Whod a thought. View is incredible, service friendly and efficient. Prices are fair. Would have loved to try the actual dine in experience but that was fully booked a month out. Can understand why. Absolutely worth the drive!!

This is a wonderful little off the beaten path place at the end of a gravel road and right on the water. Take out, covered deck, or indoor seating available though reservations are suggested for indoors. The food was excellent especially the Seafood Chowder. Service was quick and staff are very friendly. The rustic interior and instrumental music added a warm ambience on the cold, windy, rainy day we were there. If your looking for great PEI hospitality, this is the place.

The best and most unique restaurant Ive ever been to. Located at the very end of a dirt road right on the edge of the ocean. We were lucky to have been there on a warm sunny day in September. The service was quick and the lobster roll was spectacular. My husband had the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich, and he said it was out if this world! Afterwards, we walked to the lighthouse nearby and even walked up to the top. Just a beautiful place to be, so if you are in the east side of PEI, this is a must.

Dined here in 2016 and very much enjoyed it. Unfortunately the prices have gone up and the quality down. The chowder is average and there are far better options for lobster roll on the island. I will return next year as I hope this is a one-off and 2023 marks a return to form.

The location is superb. We arrived just after the kitchen re-opened and although we did not have a reservation we did get a table. In general make a reservation! We had a starter with pita chips, olives and two dips. We followed that with a lobster roll and the seafood steamer. Both were excellent. We finished the meal with a couple of panacottas which were perfection. Just come here, and eat looking over the Northumberland Strait, but make reservations.

Lovely food with a beautiful view. I ve been here a few times and family and friends. I have never had bad service or a bad meal. Generally friendly and well priced. It has a diverse menu, so don t be put off by the idea of seafood chowder only. You re best off to make a reservation, but if you don t have one they can usually give you a wait time. If its a nice day, you can walk up to the lighthouse and around to kill the wait time. This spot does get busy- I would say the only issue I ve had is tracking down the server when you re ready to go. More than once I ve just gone to the til after a long wait. Not worth demoting stars over, for sure!
