It's always our first stop when arriving in Charlottetown. It was originally suggested to us by a security guard in the parking lot (thank you so much!) The staff is so friendly, and the food is amazing! Highly recommend anything from the menu, but especially the pulled pork Sammy or the fish and chips along with a local beer!

I ordered the all-you-can-eat ribs, which is the Thursday night special, and it came with a large amount of mashed potatoes and some other vegetables. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. I appreciated the friendly greeting at the door (possibly the manager) when I arrived, and my server provided excellent service. Well done guys!

We visited Hunter’s Ale House yesterday during our trip to PEI. We ordered nachos for appetizers, and for our main meals, we had seafood & carbonara pasta, a pork sandwich, and a quesadilla. While the nachos were decent, the service left something to be desired. After we finished the nachos, our server cleared only the plates, leaving the dirty napkins on the table until our main meals arrived. The pasta was disappointing—plain in taste and lacking a creamy sauce. However, the pork sandwich and quesadilla were better. Overall, the experience was mixed, earning it a 3-star rating.

Good evening coming from New Brunswick for the family day weekend to see my daughter in Charlottetown hunters is always our go to restaurant we love the food and surroundings eating out on the patio etc. But this evening we ordered our food for take out as my daughter just had a baby 3 weeks ago and her grandparents are also over for a visit and wanted to eat here at our air b&b . We placed our order for 8 adults and 2 very young children. The order came to 256.53 . When my daughter went to pay the order total given to her was 296.68 as the restaurant automatically added a tip of 40.15 . I’m not trying to sound cheep as we always tip wherever we go to eat. But to automatically add a tip amount has left a bad taste in my mouth

Hunter’s Ale house for their Burger Battle entry, the Crispy Chicarron burger with a shared Dill Pickle poutine shared between us. The burger’s were really good! Caroline liked it, I loved it. Especially that pork belly, and the burger itself! And that Dill Pickle poutine was too much for us both and ended up going home as takeaway. Chips sprinkled with something akin to dill salt and vinegar popcorn topping, immersed in a lovely dill sauce with fresh herbs, onion, pickle bits and cheese. Lovely if you like dill, and Caroline loves it! I enjoyed it quite a bit, and we are both happy to have sampled the limited time offer before it disappears off of the menu. We shared a deep fried mars bar for dessert. I found it a bit rich, which didn’t stop us from almost licking the plate clean. :) Good food, good company and good service from Olivia! P.s. Their signature Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is amazing.

The mashed potatoes were the best part of my meal. The fish was dry and the scallops were on the verge of being over cooked. They were also slimy in their breading. The coleslaw does deserve honourable mention. The fries although crispy on the outside were dry inside..... Perhaps overcooked? The burger was lack luster. Should have gone to a fast food joint and the burger and fries would have been just as good. However if you are looking for a place to sit and drink, come on down. If you want to eat, find another stop.

We last visited Hunters in Sept 2021 and in my opinion it has gone down hill. The background music is way too loud and anyone trying to carry on a conversation has to speak loudly making it even more loud. We had order the 1.5 lb mussels to share as an appetizer, these were the smallest mussels I have ever seen. One would have thought they would have a minimal harvesting size. They lacked any flavor and garlic was non existent. Not something I would order again at this location. The service was very good.

Theres nothing exciting about this place. There are plenty of better options out there. We just went for a beer and a snack when we first arrived in Charlettetown. The beer options were weak but the poutine was decent. The server also forgot we asked for the cheque so we had to ask again after 10-15 minutes.

A few weeks ago we ordered food there and they made the food wrong we gave them the benefit of the doubt so we called and they gave us a gift card. We reordered our food today and they still made it wrong and they did not give us back our gift card that had 10+ dollars on it still. And when we brought it up they said that s their policy and there s nothing anyone can do about it I do not suggest eating here!

We had fish and chips. The fish was overcooked and coating burned on the bottom. The fries were so hard and burnt we couldnt eat them. The fish was buried under the fries and the coleslaw, although was good, it too was buried, under the fish and fries. Was finally given some decent fries but by then fish was cold. Not happy with food at all. Wait staff was good though.

July 21, 2024

I recently visited Beer Garden with five friends, and while everything started off well, the experience quickly deteriorated. A waitress informed us halfway through our meal that we needed to pay part of our bill, as another server would be taking over. We agreed and asked if we could order more food, only to be told the kitchen was closed. We werent informed about the kitchen closing time, which would have allowed us to place a final order in time. The manager suggested we order from Hunters Ale across the street, as it is owned by the same company. Unfortunately, the experience at Hunters Ale was even worse. The staff there were incredibly rude and displayed racist behavior. I had to call the server multiple times to place a simple order. She kept walking away mid-order, forcing me to call her back repeatedly. When we returned to Beer Garden with our food, we had to call the servers several times just to get cutlery, despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. The staff at Hunters Ale were new since I have been to hunters multiple times, but that doesnt excuse the lack of basic customer service skills. Both the manager and the staff at both restaurants were rude and unkind, which is a significant departure from my previous experiences at Hunters Ale. I give good rating for the atmosphere and food since the band and live music was good, but the service is horrible, and I would never suggest anyone to go there. Upstreet or ponyboat also have great food and atmosphere and the servers are much better too. Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the service and will not be returning. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving their customer service standards.

The worst experience I ever had in my life. PEI is a tourist destination with lots of international visitors, visit the restaurant. The way the staff behave with me while in the restaurant with my friends is very disrespectful. I am specifically mentioning the date of the evening is July 7, 2024, with mentioning the date I hope the management can understand how the staff behave with us also the manager. The manager s behavior and the way staff corner us is really very disrespectful. If I need to call the staff multiple time just for cutlery for the food, I order and they see and ignored us even the manager should not be tolerated by the management. I will never suggest anybody to visit these restaurant hunter ale and beer garden. Because I found the behavior by the staff and manager is racist, the way they behave with us and make me felt that I asked one of they employee that if they want us to leave we will leave. This is atmosphere in the restaurant was not bad but the staff made it worse for me. I would like that management, take it seriously and react upon the matter if they really consider the guest in the restaurant are important and valuable to them.

I recently had an unfortunate experience at a certain establishment, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment with the staff, particularly their bodyguards. I found their behavior to be not only rude but also shockingly racist. From the moment I arrived, I was met with an unwelcoming atmosphere. The bodyguards, who are supposed to ensure the safety and comfort of customers, exhibited a complete lack of professionalism. They were dismissive, impolite, and seemed to go out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable. What was even more disheartening was the racist behavior I encountered. I witnessed firsthand the bodyguards treating individuals of certain ethnic backgrounds with disdain and disrespect. It was evident that they held prejudiced views and were not hesitant to express them through their actions. As a customer, I believe it is essential to be treated with respect and fairness, regardless of ones background. Unfortunately, this was not the case during my visit. The staffs racist and rude behavior left a lasting negative impression on me. I strongly urge the management of this establishment to address this issue promptly. Such behavior not only tarnishes their reputation but also perpetuates discrimination and inequality. It is crucial for them to take immediate steps to educate and train their staff on diversity, inclusion, and

With no hate to the good service whatsoever, as that in and of itself was fine, the dishware was disgusting. Ordered a virgin drink and it tasted like mildew or mold, complete with specks of a mysterious black something floating around in the drink. Not even the server knew what it was. The glasses that had our water had little bits of food or whatever else stuck to it, so whoever they have doing the dishes needs to be spoken to. It really put me off the rest of the meal. They either have mold growing in their ice bucket, or the person cleaning dishes doesnt do a good enough job. From the taste of the drink alone Id wager its the former. The food was alright, but I didnt feel comfortable eating off dishware that may have only had a rinse instead of a wash.

First time there. Deep fried dill pickles were great. My spouses steak was chewy, broccoli cold and potatoes warm. My nachos were good. Needed more cheese on them. Sour cream came in what appeared to be take-out sealed containers. Top was too small to dip a chip in. And they were being stored in a place that was too cold. It was almost frozen. Broke a chip trying to scoop some out of the container. For sit in folks, please serve softer sour cream and in a ramekin that you can actually dip a chip in.

Was making a quick spontaneous visit to Charlottetown for the first time and came to this restaurant on the recommendation of a cab driver. Ordered 1.5lbs mussels, hunters size seafood chowder, and nachos poutine and they were all awful. Really disappointed by the lackluster seafood. Mussels barely had any seasoning and the seafood chowder and its biscuit were bland, dry, pasty, and chalky that it didnt sit well with my group even several hours later. And there was absolutely nothing special about the poutine which was overly coated in cheap cheese sauce.

BRING YOUR APPETITE! Portion size is borderline ridiculous. All-you-can-eat Ribs on Thursday (good luck getting through the first ½ rack and getting another). Rib aficionados might disagree, but I found them fall-off-the-bone tender and tasty. More than enough PEI Handcut Fries. The Philly Cheesesteak is the size of a footlong sub sandwich AND comes with a healthy serving of fries. As stated before, bring your appetite. Downtown Old Charlottetown has VERY limited parking....I would suggest walking. There is an outdoor patio, but it was a bit cool to be outside, though some ventured out to dine. Lots of beer and wine to choose from. Service is fairly quick......maybe 20-25 minutes from seating-to-eating. Highly recommended if youre in Old Charlottetown.

Really upsetting place A friend recommended this restaurant which is open after 9:33pm. The outdoor restaurant tables were all empty. The second floor is not open either. Its May 21st. Not less than a busy season. It is not a tourist season either. Whether locals or foreigners come to travel. Find a restaurant or bistro. There is not a very good fit here. Standing in the doorway, there are empty tables everywhere. The doorman at the restaurant said that the government does not allow the door to be opened outdoors. Its hard to find a restaurant when you first land in Charlottetown. Really confusing trip. Charlottetowns restaurant rules are also peculiar. The second floor is not open. The outdoors are not open.

This is not a place to eat food. This is a place to drink and maybe order some fries. With ingredients that could come fresh from the sea this is food quality is frankly atrocious. We ordered 5 dishes and experienced a variety of items on the menu. The muscles were flavourless barely finished cooking and many were raw, with what seemed to be pieces of sand in them. I ordered the open faced steak sandwich, what a mistake that was. The seafood chowder was barely passable. The fish and chips an item to be striken from the menu. Not even the smash burger was a finishable item on the menu.

Hunters has gone down hill. Myself and two other people were there on Tuesday around 4ish. There were 2 managers and approx 8 staff just standing around talking about each other or what happened on the weekend. One manager, even went as far as making ignorant comments about a person asking questions to the hostess outside. We were the only people in the first section as you walked in and the staff was huddled at a table in the corner kitty corner to us, so we heard everything. The bartender was the only one who appeared to actually be working. The ladies washroom was disgusting. I always go to Hunters when I come home. But after this experience, I wont be back.

Staying in downtown Charlottetown, we didnt want to drive (and lose a coveted spot near our hotel), so we decided upon Hunters. We were promptly seated, beverage order taken, beverages delivered with main order taken and for sit down fare, delivered in a relatively short time frame. I ordered the steak medium, with the baked potato side (2 hulking monsters) and found the meal to be delicious and filled me right up (I hate leaving a restaurant somewhat hungry after spending a decent amount of money). My wife had the Chicken & Cheese Tortellini. The portion was beyond generous and she said it was one of the best tasting ever. The young lady waiting our table (and a couple helpers at different points) were courteous, friendly and attentive during our meal. In all, it was a wonderful experience and surprisingly was not outrageously priced. The meal described above was less than we would spend at a Keg restaurant yet was better in quality, quantity and service. I hope this praise does not cause an uptick in pricing, as they have a winning formula at present!

The staff at the restaurant were great. The musical talent, Matt, was unprofessional and rude. He asked for requests from the crowd then shamed me when I asked for a legendary Canadian artist (Gordon Lightfoot) saying come back when I ve heard of the artist you re asking for . Which is not only disrespectful to me, the customer, but disrespectful to a time-honored Canadian icon. Shame on him and shame Hunters for letting Matt play there. Disgraceful if you ask me. No way to treat customers or Maritimers.

For bar food, it seemed pretty good. Service was good. We were seated in a quieter spot outside, which was nice. Most people get to a bar for the drinks, and it looks like they have a fair selection of local options. The oysters ended up escaping very soon in a violent manner. Otherwise, its a cool hangout with good food and entertainment.

Portions are big, but food is horrible. I got the Philly, the steak was dry and and the sandwich tasteless. My son had the chicken parmesan it wasnt good either, he left half of it. The place is empty and I didnt see any local people as they advertise.

It was an overall very good experience. The staff, Miara, was very helpful in making selections for our food. She kept asking us how we were doing and if we needed anything else. However, I think the food was on the expensive side.

We had such a great time at this restaurant. The food and service and atmosphere was spot-on. Definitely looking to go back again.

Food was good, service was very poor from our server, Kayla. Ordered an appetizer and two mains. All came at once. Kayla, our server didn t have a positive gesture/attitudes towards me and my three other friends, but she had a positive gesture/attitudes towards the other customers in the restaurant. We had no waters, no napkins. She served the other guests with a big smile and a positive energy, but a nasty attitude towards our table. As we are not from this country, could it be Racism? Discrimination? The only time she had a smile on her face was when she brought up the bill to us. With our kind heart, we gave her $38 tips when our whole bill costs $86. Won t be going back to this restaurant anymore but food was alright. Thank you.

Everything was great but couldve used less food for a cheaper price. Everyone knows their portions are huge but not long ago the prices were much more reasonable. I realize inflation is a thing so id be happy with slightly smaller portions for a bit cheaper of a meal. Thats just me though. Edit : sept 1st/2023 philly cheesesteak beef is dry as a bone. 2 other orders with 2 baked potatoes and a quesadilla with one, only 2 tiny sour creams included for all that. No butter and missing cutlery. Called them and they said we can come back and get it. So now we have to waste our time getting our meals for lunch break at work and have to go back for some sourcream and butter... they were not busy either as they just opened. Disappointing hunters you usually never failed to provide. Sad you are so stingy now. Prices keep going up , quality and service keeps going down.

Terrible service. Came in for lunch today waited 20 minutes without being offered a menu or a drink There were only two other tables with two people at each table and one person at the bar. With the manager walking around on his cellphone. Sorry but just awful service considering the amount of people in the restaurant. Will not be back.

My wife had chowder that was paste like. Carrots and onion were still raw. Only identifiable seafood was a piece of salmon. The included bun was stale. I ordered the special, a grilled bacon and tomatoes sandwich. I think it was supposed to have goat cheese. I received a grilled cheese sandwich made with a low quality marble cheese. I ate less than half. Our server agreed it was a mistake and offered a new sandwich to go. We declined, deciding we wouldnt spend anymore time here. To many great places to eat in Charlottetown. The sandwich came with a good bowl of chili and our server was friendly.

The food was average. My friend and I both ordered steak, neither was cooked correctly. There is no note in the menu that the meal comes with a vegetable side, my friend is allergic to bell peppers and she had no warning that they would be on her plate. We saw our waitress all of twice our whole visit, too busy chatting with friends at a nearby table, therefore never had a chance to express this allergy concern. Our drinks were never offered to be refilled. The high price didnt reflect the average quality of the food and we likely wont come back again.

We love the food and we order every Sunday night, but I can never get through, they always say to order it online but what we want is not online, some is and some isnt, is it a big deal to update the online menu to match the in-house menu? It is so much easier to order online but just not possible with our choices, so we are left to call and then they never pick up. If they dont want our business there are lots of places that do. We specifically order later on Sunday so that they are not in their rushed time. It is now 7:45 and we have called about 10 times in 15 minutes with no answer. Guess we will have to go else where that will pick up their phones or at least have the correct menu online. I just honestly dont understand.
