Yes yes, it's good. But only go here if you want to pay double what it costs down the street & want to eat with cruise ship visitors. Not a local in sight.

We stopped by Dave's Lobster twice while we were in Charlottetown; yes, it was THAT tasty. We ordered the "Some Fancy" lobster roll both times. Warm, buttery and delicious with large pieces of lobster in each roll. The staff was very friendly and provided the food promptly. You have a choice to eat inside the restaurant or outside at the picnic tables with a view of the wharf; both are excellent choices. Highly recommend.

Went twice while I was on PEI it was so good. Highly recommend, especially for a more of a relaxed vibe vs a restaurant style establishment. All of their rolls include a choice of side as well!

Delicious lobster rolls, not so great coleslaw. I feel like their marketing actually works both for and against them, because their claim as the "best lobster rolls In. The. World." had me drawn to this restaurant with huge expectations that could not be met. And while the lobster roll was delicious, I don't think it met the high expectations I had built up for myself after reading that statement. That said, I still think this place is worth visiting if you are in the Peakes Quay area. They offer both warm and chilled lobster rolls, so everyone should be able to find something they like here. Note the market price for a single lobster roll in August 2024 was $32 before taxes.

Really good lobster rolls. We were in port on a cruise and the wonderful restaurant had opened earlier than usual in order to accommodate our times. The lobster rolls were delicious, with the warm one being our favourite. The grilled cheese is good, but was expecting a sandwich style and not so much just a lobster roll with cheese.

I ordered 'the local' and it was a really tasty lobster roll with a generous portion of lobster as well as a nicely toasted soft roll. I chose potato salad as the side and it was also very tasty. Overall I would recommend Dave's to anyone. My wife mentioned that it was a bit pricey but honestly, if you are ordering lobster in PEI you will pay about the same at most places so I didn't think the price was concern at all. I also had one of the local lagers which was served cold on a very hot day which was appreciated. The server was excellent, attentive and kept me up to date on how my order was doing as she was quite busy. It's not a huge place but there are plenty of places to sit inside and outside. I wish they had air conditioning but the weather was unusually hot today when I was there so normally I don't think that it would be a problem. It's a nice location and is right next to both Beavertails and Cows Ice Cream, so there are some nice dessert options nearby after you finish your lobster roll.

Warm lobster roll with perfectly toasted bread & lobster pan-sizzled to the right temperature with butter, lemon & garlic then topped with chives served with a dill pickle & choice of potato chips (I got the dill)... what more can a seafood lover ask for! My order was so carefully packaged with nice thick napkins & a wet wipe and placed into a branded paper bag with handles. The lobster roll was filled with all lobster which tasted like it was just caught & the flavor and texture was melt in your mouth goodness! A bit steep in price however the amount of lobster in it made it less painful on the wallet. Feels like the lobster meat was from a 1.5 pound lobster. I thoroughly enjoyed it & would easily pay the MP for another heavenly warm lobster roll!

This was my first ever lobster roll - I was slightly surprised for it to be $40 with a drink. I got the local and it was good, however I wasn t a fan of the potato salad.

My brother and I stopped here for a coffee when we were on the Island, after our mothers funeral. We just needed a quiet, low key place to chat for an hour or so. This place provided it. They probably never guessed how much we appreciated their unobtrusive service. It was exactly what we needed at that moment. **UPDATE** A year and a half has passed since the funeral, and I still remember with gratitude the quiet afternoon my brother and I spent here, chatting about life. Its 2024 -- five years since I first posted this note. I still think of that afternoon, and am grateful for the quiet of the restaurant where my brother and I sat and chatted, reminiscing about our mom

The classic role is pretty bland, the hot grilled one tastes amazing but for $29, it probably wont even fill a child. As a grown adult male, I can easily eat 4 of these if they were cheaper. Area is great but the cost cannot beat the benefits.

TOURIST TRAP! Huge scam. Super overpriced.The lobster roll tasted fine but was very small and costed $33 before tax without a drink. Don t get the coleslaw it was just shredded cabbage with no dressing AT ALL, very very dry. Don t settle for this place there are bigger lobster rolls that taste just as good for half the price everywhere on PEI.

December 21, 2023

This is not great. A tourist trap for sure. Many other planes in pei with better lobster rolls cheaper than this. 5 ounce-ish lobster roll for $33. I got 2 grilled cheeses it was a smushed hot dog bun with barely any cheese. So bad. Please dont get this please go somewhere else. Also give me a full pickle please not a quarter.

Staff were wonderful, so no fault there. But the lobster rolls had no flavour at all. I had one Cold roll and one Lobster Grilled Cheese...both were completely tasteless (and I have very low standards...). The bag of chips they came with were the most interesting part of the meal. Honestly, for $68 dollars Ill 100% be going elsewhere next time and I recommend you do the same

Am I missing something? So maybe I just came at a bad time or day but no line up which was great but to us it was just some dry lobster on a hotdog bun that was put in a panini press .

I ordered the Local lobster roll and it looked amazing until I took a bite. The lobster was definitely previously frozen - it was chewy, watery and tasteless. I normally wouldnt post a review but at $27, it was a huge waste of money. Didnt want to mention it to the nice girls working there since its not their fault, but would not recommend.

Sooo good! Initially, I almost fell over because of the price but it s August and not prime lobster season. It was worth it though. Amazing and huge so my husband and I shared. Unlike other lobster rolls which has way too much mayo, this we tasted the lobster with the right amount of garnishing for enhancement. Nothing took over the lobster. Served with a slice of butter toasted bread was perfect instead of a hotdog bun. Highly recommend this place on the wharf.

All my daughter wanted for her 10th bday was a yummy lobster roll so we headed here for the patio space with our dog. Very tasty! Enjoyed the lobster roll/ chips/ beverage combo. Just wish there was a bit more shelter and a patio heater as we had to sit outside and temps dropped to 12-14C after the rain. Impressed with the bun (good quality grilled big sausage type bun with butter. Can always take more lobster but hey, it s not in season in Sept and $$. Expect to pay $20 for PEI lobster rolls this time of year, seems steep but market prices are high right now. We didn t get a side pickle so maybe we didn t order the same as the other reviewer from three weeks ago. It was totally worth it anyway. YUM! p.s. Thanks for the water bowl for the pooch!

I liked the bun and the ratio of lobster to bread. I got half and half. I liked the buttery side better though it did seem a bit salty.

We tried every lobster roll in the area, and this was by far the best. We searched long and hard to top it, with no luck. Will definitely be back!

Food is ok but overpriced. Service adequate at best, the staff are young people who clearly have better places theyd like to be. Atmosphere is lacking, the decor is sterile and the furniture is cheap. The music playing in the background was excellent.

Not very friendly service. If you cant say hello, muster a smile, or ask how are you then maybe the service industry isnt for you. Food was decent enough, although not the best lobster roll of which Ive had many this summer. Not very hard to find a better one across PEI.

The lobster roll was yummy, warm buttery bread with a generous amount of lobster for the price. I got the half and half like other reviewers suggested. Just FYI, half of it will be warm and the other half cold (purposely). I suggest taking your lobster roll to go and eating it outside along the river! :)

We were visiting from the US and was checking lobster rolls off our list... This place was a severely overpriced dump! Service was horrible... Rude early 20 somethings who knew nothing about customer service. We had to ask for our chips and pop. As for the sandwiches... Not worth the money we paid for them. The bread was dry... The lobster was cooked well but there was little flavor. The pickle was about the size of a skinny celery stick cut into 1/4ths... Save your money and go somewhere else because Daves is just overpriced hype.

Ripoffs!!! I ordered the Really Friggin Big size (large) and my wife ordered the Bigger size (medium) and her s had more lobster meat. When I asked why I got less meat even though I paid for the largest size, I was just simply told you got the right amount . Terrible!!!! Didn t expect this from any merchant from PEI which is otherwise paradise on earth with the nicest people. Avoid this place at all cost. Oh an the Lobster Taco tastes stale.

Second best lobster rolls (Alma Lobster Shop N.B. being the best) Ive eaten. What was great at Daves was that you could get two different types of lobster roll in one the traditional cold Lobster with mayonnaise and the second a hot Lobster cooked in butter all on the same sandwich. Only other option on the menu was a grilled cheese sandwich which my wife being the land lover had it and she said it was delicious. If cost is a factor Daves have three options for lobster rolls all based on market prices for lobster.

My husband and I split 2 Lobster rolls. We shared The Local (cold Lobster) and Some Fancy (warmed Lobster). The warmed one was excellent - this was our favourite!! The cold one was not very good. My hubby found it unsettling; I found it just slightly unpleasant. The larger chunks of celery in it did it no favours either. The staff were friendly, considerate, and helpful!

Very good lobster roll in three sizes. The mediums were more than adequate, with plenty of lobster, sweet and fresh. There is nothing fancy about Daves but its primary product is what it is all about, you get choices on size and preparation and there was beer to wash it down! Superb! You could pay less, and most likely get less, and you easily could pay more without being any happier. Daves is all about lobster rolls ... And there is little more I could desire!

I had the some fancy and my gawd - it was heavenly. The little pickle they snuck on the side was one of the best Ive had. My friends on the other hand shared a half and half. The cold half is wayyyyyyy too salty. Like almost 50% more salt than the some-fancy. Edit: I think this may help some of you - the difference between large and medium is the amount put on the bun. However they use the same sized bun. You might not see a difference visually but you can definitely tell by the weight!

It was dead inside when we dropped by so we got our orders in and food out pretty quickly. I got the Half and Half. The Some Fancy side was so good and Id go back just to eat that. The other side, which was The Local was decent and I actually enjoyed the addition of celery. But the reason my rating is lower is that I kept finding shell bits/hard bits in my lobster meat. Obviously it hadnt been cleaned properly before being shipped to Daves. Biting down on those bits was very off putting and definitely brought the entire experience down. Perhaps this batch of lobster meat was just a lower quality one who knows. I would go back to eat there again, but it wouldnt be my first choice in town for lobster rolls.

Excellent lobster roll, warm and buttery with a few spices to complement the meat. Only thing I would have changed was the portion size was a bit lacking, especially for the price.

Nom nom nom! Delicious! You get so much lobster in the rolls here! We tried one elsewhere, more expensive and half the lobster. At Daves you get a tonne of lobster and its super tasty. My husband ordered the classic and I ordered the warm one, we ate half and switched. I preferred the warm, it was warm and buttery with a bit of lemon, just scrumptious. My husband couldnt pick he liked both, the cold wasnt overwhelmed with dressing, allowing you to still taste the lobster.
