We stopped in here for dinner cause my partner was going on an evening flight. It isn't as good as I was hoping for. It was okay for airport food but if you're not flying I wouldn't go out of the way to eat here.
Amazing Thanksgiving dinner for 29 bucks. What a deal. Server/ bartender very kind and professional
One of the worst places to get service on PEI. I had my flight delayed 2 days and I went to Budley's to eat some snacks. The east Indian lady there was right off the bat super rude and very unfriendly. She was not willing to check for any more sandwiches on the outside of the security area. I could not get her name but she deserves to be thought and coached some manners and to be pleasant when passengers are already tormented by the airlines for delayed flights. After being a bit upset with her, I still asked for a coffee and she gave me the worst coffee, very cold and stale milk. Would recommend you eat out or bring some food with you. The airport and manager should hire good staff. Puts a sour taste after beautiful PEI visit.
Good service, great food, good value.
Nice little restaurant, though it's more of like a convenience store with 10 or so tables in the middle of it. Bit of a weird setup but still a nice atmosphere. Small airport so what can you expect. Food was decent for what you pay. Portions were pretty good.
An unexpected gem at the Charlottetown Airport. After a harrowing drive through torrential rain, we needed to dry out and warm up before our flight. The waitress kindly allowed me to order the lobster omelette even though it was a couple of minutes past the 11am cutoff. The omelette was delicious and a good value, served with exactly the right amount of toast. I got the tater tots as a side and they may have been the best tater tots I've had anywhere. My husband got the chicken fingers and fries and they were also fresh and hot.
Excellent breakfast in what I thought was unlikely to be a good restaurant, considering it is half a gift shop and the other half I was expecting to see an elevated menu on a sign for fast food/snacks since it's in an airport but I was pleasantly surprised when they seated us and handed us menus. As you can see in the photo I got the $15 breakfast that comes with 3 eggs (I do Sunnyside up for toast dipping), ham, bacon, sausage and Bologna with tater tot hash browns and rye toast; it was all done very well and I enjoyed every bite. My fiance had the breakfast wrap without hash browns and said it was very good, super cheap too! The bacon was crispy without being overdone, sausages were very flavorful along with the ham and Bologna, the tater tots were cooked perfect and my were my eggs were perfect. About my only gripe is I wish the rye toast was bigger for dipping in the yolks but there were 6 little slices instead of the typical 4 you'd get with white or whole wheat. Service was fast, the staff were polite and they were super on the ball refilling my coffee which was nice on a stressful day. I only wish I could've tried the lobster omelet as well after we just returned from a lobster crawl holiday in Nova Scotia and found only one lobster themed breakfast meal, but I was super hungry and got their biggest option. Too bad I probably won't be back too often since we were in that airport due to how terrible swoop treated us after a second round of unexplained cancellations in Moncton, but it is nice to know there is an airport in our range with a solid choice for a quick tasty meal.
Food was a little pricey for the amount that was given. Also quality of food wasn’t the greatest my pancakes tasted like they were cooked on a dirty pan or flattop. Service was super slow, nobody had even realized we were there until about ten minutes later. Received the food and waited another ten minutes just to get drinks. Drinks also came in the smallest glass ever was about the size of two shot glasses.
Very friendly people work here.
The servers are exceptional. They never stop. Lots of choice on the menu. Best pan fried fish on PEI.
Great customer service. The woman I spoke to on the phone was very helpful.
Food was great, had an unexpected lengthy delay, staff were great and very accomodating.
Diner inside the Charlottetown airport. Service was friendly and fast, especially given how busy they were. Serving take out orders for coffee and baked goods, as well as sit down meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. All day breakfast option was great - 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast, & coffee for 10.99. Would definitely return. Another visit proved that the food and service is consistently excellent. Super nice staff. Really good breakfast and fabulous coffee! Time and time again, Budleys can be counted on for a fast and delicious meal served by such friendly and efficient servers.
Excellent service. Very accommodating. Waitress makes you feel right at home. Vegetarian options: Will swap items Dietary restrictions: Will accommodate accordingly Parking: Less then 1 hour is free
Our flight was delayed so we decided to get a quick bite to eat at Budleys. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they had gluten free bread so we all ordered sandwiches as we thought it would be a fast option (chicken salad, grilled cheese and a club so nothing too complicated). It took almost one hour to receive our order. On top of that the gluten free sandwich was the smallest gluten free sandwich anyone in our party had ever seen. It had to be 3 X 3 inches at most. Members of my family couldnt stop laughing it was so ridiculous. Id be shocked If it took me 20 seconds to eat. Budelys should either make you aware of the size of the gluten free sandwiches or give you two it was that small. On top of that I didnt get the coleslaw that was supposed to come with the sandwich! Unfortunately we were already through security when I opened it up or I would have taken it back and demanded a refund. I realize GF options are never the same as regular orders. Theres always some compromise but this was absolutely ridiculous. The lessons learned from this experience are : 1) dont place an order at Budelys if you have a flight to catch. It might not get there in time and 2) stay away from the GF sandwiches. The sizes are so small they are ridiculously laughable!
Food was hot and tasty! Coffee was hot. Service was great! Keep up the great work!
Lobster chowder was terrific. Lots of lobster, great fresh hot biscuit
Love love love this restaurant. Don t mind when my flight is delayed as it means I have time for a meal here. Food is delicious especially the tater tots!
Highly recommended
Friendly manager and A1 food!
The food was fine but the service was so slow. This kind of issue is unacceptable in an airport location where people are generally in some sort of time crunch. The staff need to communicate better with customers. They also forgot to include part of my order and I only realized this once I was through security.
Great little place for breakfast at the airport!
It s alright, this is more of a convenience store that happens to sell some hot food, rather than a traditional airport cafe. The prices are higher than advertised on the menu. For example a bagel with cream cheese is advertised as $3 and was rung up as $3.75+HST. It was also the smallest bagel and schmear of cream cheese I have ever seen in a while. Good if hungry and no other option but don t come here hungry.
Good food, friendly service
There are actually 2 Budleys. One for the public and one in the security for passengers. I ate at the public one. It was acceptable. Not anything more than average. Vegetarian options: Not much. So many restaurants think a garden salad is a veg option. They think all we want are salads.
Tender and flavourful roast beef, fluffy mashed potatoes, and gravy like Mom made.
The beer is always cold!
Charged me $3.75 for a bagel advertised as $3. Pro tip for management: update your menu before you increase prices on your point of sale.
Very tasty breakfast especially the tater tots that had a delicious onion taste to them.
Great airport food. Awesome clubhouse!
Super awesome staff Parking: Airport Food : 4/5 |
First time having breakfast here. It exceeded expectations. The food was awesome and a good value for money. The service was top notch and the coffee is quite good. Will definitely be back soon. Food : 5/5
Very friendly smallish little restaurant before security. Lovely and friendly young lady served us some wonderful food. Large serving. Great prices. Food : 5/5 |
I just ordered the fish & chips.. Oh wow it was awesome!! Fish very fresh fries wonderfully cooked.. This is a little gem at the airport! Restaurants in Charlottetown you better step up!! Budley s is the place to dine.. eat with friends.. I ll give a 10 .. The service was .
Bacon double cheeseburger platter, with fresh Island beef, great taste, well garnished, and with lots of fries. Bonus tasty wings platter, too! Nice quiet place, clean and bright. Topped off with friendly service.
Always great food, always great service. I have never had a bad experience at Budley s. Great prices and amazing food, you can t go wrong. This time I had the butter chicken burger, it was sooo good, and I was filled with just the burger, no need for sides.
Fantastic food and the service was beyond perfect as usual!
For a small location at the airport, pretty good. Very busy. Good food and service.
Very Good
Great staff
A simple recommendation for the food bar in the waiting lounge: some lactose free or dairy free creamer for the coffee. Not a huge ask, but some alternative options would be great for those who have dairy sensitivities.
Great place to grab food before your flight. It was very good. We had the burger club with fries and wings. Friendly service. Food
During my trip to PEI to visit family, we went to Chambers twice for brunch! The Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection, perfect eggs, excellent hollandaise sauce. It was wonderful to see Anna again, after a few years & covid (this is our familys choice for brunch) she provides excellent service!!
Any time i go here somthing goes wrong. I either get the wrong meal or i wait an hour. Food is ok but not worth the wait
Greatspot to get a bite to eat before your flight!
Lovely airport food
Great place. Great service improved
Wait time was too long. They could have one or two extra servers so guests/ travellers dont have to wait for very long to place their orders. Food was alright.
Cooked food is not the best...they need to find something that they can offer that is fresh. Prices were reasonable (for an airport) for packaged food and drinks.
Real good food
We ordered supper from Budleys two Sundays in a row because...why not! The food was hot, delicious and very reasonably priced! Online ordering and curbside pickup was a breeze. Well definitely be back!
The food is absolutely delicious and homemade vibes. What you d expect from grandmas kitchen.
Loved the food and great service as well !
Enjoyed my meal.... Staff very kind.... The Blueberry cheesecake was delish
Ordered chicken mushroom Fettuccini Alfredo via delivery app, arrived with no chicken
I eat here often. Delicious traditional diner type food, real comfort food!
Consistent, very good diner style food, good poutine, good sandwiches.
Wait time is crazy but food is absolutely delicious!
Right inside the airport with lots of parking, that they validate. The food is good and the servers are friendly and attentive.
The food was good and the service was friendly and on point.
Amazing food! Will be frequently going back!
Great food and great service. Definitely going back again
Good eats
Love the smoked meat sandwich and chowder. Apple crisp bread pudding is a winner!
Short on staff... Looking wait...
Good food. Ill-equipped kitchen
Hard to know how to rate. The aviator burger was good once it came, but it took a good 45 mins from ordering to receive it and the poor server seemed to be run off her feet and clearly needed an extra hand. I guess if youre in the airport and in a hurry, not the best option.
Small but efficient and good quality of food.
Good portions for decent price. Service was a little slow for later in the morning when it didnt seem so busy but overall still great service. Parking: 1 hour free parking at the airport before you have to pay the machine inside the terminal.
Hours are not correct. We check before coming because we planned to get something at the airport. We got through security by 7:30 on a Friday night. Online says open till 8pm. Not open, no vending machines so cant even get a bag of chips or a bottle of water. Plan ahead and eat before coming. Bring empty water bottle so you can fill with water. We were instructed to come to the airport 3 hours before, then a 2.5 hour flight. So no food or water for over 5 hours. Not looking forward to this.
Good food Great ambiance
Great little place at the airport. Friendly service, just a bit slow.
Pleasant staff, however the kitchen must be terrible. We waiting 55 minutes for 4 breakfast orders (from the time we ordered had been there 1 hr and 30 min total). Finally had to ask for it to go so we could get in security line. I had eggs Benedict with sauce on the side and it looked awful. Eggs over cooked, English muffin soggy and not buttered.
There is no idea in this restaurant what is an espresso coffee at all - do not order. Not impress from the menu and the staff attitude as well.
Very very yummy. And also very fast. the server was also very friendly
Great homemade food and large portions. Our waitress Diksha was great. We had the hot chicken sandwich. All white meat. Very good
I have only tried the fried potatoes but they are very expensive
Excellent quality and service.
This is the Charlottetown airport eatery, both pre and post security check. Surprisingly diverse menu.
Great food
The only restaurant at the Charlottetown airport & is before going through security. There is another Budleys that is after security but is not a full service restaurant so the menu is limited. I opted for the bowl of lobster chowder & my husband had the Aviator burger. The chowder which came with a homemade biscuit was pretty good. It had a lot of lobster throughout. My husband said his burger was amazing. I didnt have any but it did look real good. I had some of his french fries and it was so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Our food came out pretty quickly. We were a bit worried based on other reviews but had no issues.
The chowder is a tasty as advertised. The pan fried fish is very good. I skipped the fries...
Great food and service
It was horrible. Was there for an hour just waiting for food, one of the lady was horrible I think she was the supervisor, she had nasty attitude towards the customer.
Fantastic food and the staff was incredibly friendly!
Great food at a great price. Gluten free bun was an option along with plant based burger. Good milkshakes!
Great food at very fair prices with friendly service, first time there but will not be the last!! Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals
Service and food were fabulous. They also validate your parking. Had the lobster chowder and lobster roll. Everything was excellent
Great food! And Great Service! The owner is a great guy!
Great service. Fantastic fish and chicken fingers. Homemade desserts. Awesome!
Best fish and chips
Delivery was on time and the food arrived hot and delicious! Thanks
Best fish and chips in Charlottetown. Light batter, tasty white fish, had to go back second time. Will be a third and fourth for sure....
Food was delicious. Prices were fair.
Amazing staff, helpful, fast, friendly, following all the strict safety protocols, clean space and food was great. Full meal for under $10. Breakfast sandwich on croissant and Breakfast burrito was also delicious. Fast options before getting on plane in the morning. Potatoes were nice add on. Great option if not able to grab something before the flight. Highly recommend.
Nice burger
food was great with big servings...Server was attentive and efficient ...and so convenient for travellers ...nice to have quality food before or after flying !
Great bkft, good price
Great space, professional and friendly staff. Really interesting menu, there are items that are mainstay with some really quirky and delicious items thrown in. Will go again.
Excellent food and even better customer service
Food is amazing. Friendly people. A little on the slow size. :-)
My girlfriend Caroline and I have eaten Budley s takeout a few times but this was our first sit down meal in his restaurant at the Charlottetown Airport. Earl was very hospitable and easy to talk to, and we enjoyed the banter before placing an order for the evening. Caroline wanted an Aviator burger, and I was looking forward to the fish and chips. Caroline mentioned they offered a chocolate and banana milkshake, so we asked for that as well. Earl came back out to tell us that Yes, we have no bananas, We have no bananas today! Ah well, subbed in a strawberry shake in its place. I ve had the fish as takeout, but getting it fresh and hot on my plate was fantastic, for the batter is a thin one, and perfectly done in my opinion. The review would lose a half star for bag fries, but Caroline s Aviator burger was an incredible find that I am going to have to return for in the future that put that half star right back into the review. I ate my coleslaw and Caroline s when she offered it up to me, and I would have easily have enjoyed twice as much as it s that good. It was a lovely meal in a venue that Caroline and I never expected to find ourselves in, heading to the Airport for supper. Don t forget to have your parking ticket validated before leaving the restaurant! Thanks for a great meal and chat! (Best fish and chips in Charlottetown)
Wonderful meal and friendly service
friendly staff
Best airport cafeteria I have ever eaten in and I have been to many of them
Good food, real good prices for an airport resto!!!
Great staff!
Was closed but had before and is good
Dirty tables, lots of garbage in the vent below our chairs and not the best service. Fish tacos were decent
Fish and chips yum
For an airport restaurant its surprisingly good. Just had couple bad experiences with other places. Also, in the window side there are a nice lounge area which is easy to miss so highly recommend the window side
Huge lines, only one person working so they had to ignore waiting people in order to prep food. Constant switching between handling money and food seemed unhygienic.
Chairs are uncomfortab e.
Friendly staff and good food
Handy.
Enjoyed the food and very good service. Id recommend it.
Friendly staff and not just for air travellers. Great menu and tasty.
Hot and delicious food! Fries and hamburger is excellent, staff is excellent too!
The food was good, nice portions with the Fish and Chips. The tables in the back area could be bigger to accommodate 3 people when the main tables are full.
Sandwichs were stale + dry, complete waste of money
Great place
Good local beer, standard diner food.
In terms of the actual meal, Budley s offers your standard casual small airport fare nothing fancy. However, I was impressed by the generous portion size, and I thoroughly appreciated the staff s willingness to modify my order to meet my several dietary restrictions. It was nice to have a salad with spinach instead of just lettuce, and the pan-fried PEI potatoes were a comfort food that hit the spot. The staff also kept me aware of changes to my flight as alI was eating, and didn t roll their eyes when I double and triple-confirmed that my meal was allergen-free. Great service!
