I am an owner of a food truck ! Never would i treat my customers like i was treated today ! The lady in the front on cash was awsome . But the cook in the back needs to learn some customer service skills . I didnt get my $1.00 gravy she said i did. Well i didnt but i can pay again for the $1.00 gray no problem . Well she took the gray and slid it across the counter and said i put it in the box ! Making me feel like an idiot over $1.00 gravy . I am sorry i wont be back. I travel alot and heard good things about the food . The food is awesome . But the lady in the back is RUDE AND LOUD !!!

Cute little restaurant spot! Had a simple yet delicious breakfast: Eggs over easy, toast, sausages and orange juice. Definitely recommend!

We have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now, but we were very disappointed for the first time yesterday. We arrived at 7:35 PM, and the restaurant closes at 8:00 PM. We received a very poor reception from the cashier, who made us feel uncomfortable about ordering despite the restaurant still being open for another 25 minutes. The cashier pressured the customers and complained in front of us.

If you like your lobster taken out the freezer then microwaved for a roll then you'll love this place, reasonably priced but not the greatest either, used to be so much better.

If you’re on your way to the East Coast of Canada, you are doing yourself a disservice if you do not stop to eat at this restaurant. For us, it was the first taste of what was to come on our east coast trip, and proved to be better than many “fine” establishments we ate at on the east coast. The lobster roll is delicious, and getting it with the fries is well worth it. My friend had the lobster club and really enjoyed it. I also got the seafood chowder which was amazing: a little cheesy, packed full of fresh seafood and vegetables and perfectly cooked potatoes. The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get! Don’t eat at Tim’s or Subway, eat HERE!

We arrived in Edmunston after 4 pm. The tourist bureau suggested The Pirate as the place for lobster. We had really good chowder and a lobster roll with fries both were excellent choices! Thanks

This restaurant runs on Bankers hours. When you think they are open they are closed you think they are closed its open?!?

As a truck driver i stop here everytime i come this way for fish and chips...came in a little late today at 750 to order and the cashier refused to take my order ssaying they are closing in 10min..10 mins is still 10mins, will not be stopping here again.

We stopped for lunch at Tim and saw this restaurant. Since were not from the area, we know were going to try. We had 2 lobster omelettes. On the sign it said $11.99 for an omelette and below that $17.99 with lobster meat. But in the end for 2 plates of omelette with lobster meat $74!!! Well lets see! How $17.99 x2 gives $74 and it s still fast food. Frozen breakfast potatoes, canned mushrooms, eggs and a few pieces of lobster!!! It s a real steal!! I dont recommend this place at all!

Dont be fooled by the looks, the food is great. At a truckstop location beside a Timmys and washroom restaurant area. Has its own tables and booths. Ordered lobster rolls and fish and chips. Lobster rolls had a generous portion of big chucks of lobster and the bun was toasted with butter (very good) Fish and chips looked standard, except i didnt expect the texture to be so meaty. A+ Additional notes: the dill tartar sauce was a star and the coleslaw was goos!

For a Seafood fast food restaurant, they seem to have more non-seafood items on the menu than seafood items. Half the seafood items they do have on the menu are out of stock. No crab rangoons, again, I guess. The eating area is clean and they do ask for the Covid passport if eating in, which is good. I, also, was a victim of over charging. Even though I dined in, they charged me $2 for the takeout container my poutine came in. Dont expect to eat here for under $20 per person. I ordered a large poutine and 4 chicken nuggets (because the rangoons werent available) and it cost me $23 with a $5 tip, that the cashier promptly asked for when I placed my order. The food was good, though. They do have the best poutine in Edmundston, right now. It was plentiful but they have a long way to go on pricing before they become a competitive fast food restaurant. Maybe they should be labelled as a seafood cantine.

This is the second time Ive been there this year and its the second time the order was wrong. I asked for a Lobster roll snack (roll with fries). After 15 minutes, a Lobster roll arrived without fries. The young lady tells me that I didnt ask for fries. Well, she didnt understand what I wanted. No problem . I ask for a fries.... She asks me $7.00. The roll alone is $15.99, the Lobster roll snack is $17.49. I refused the fries and left. Look at your bills. It always has an overload. My roll was very good however $18.36 for a hot dog bun and a few pieces of lobster that I went to get.... Never again.

The Pirate restaurant at the Gray Rock Truck Stop can not care about the truck driver that stop here cause I am one of those drivers and went I try to place an order for my supper I was told sorry but we got behind and are not taking more orders. All I can say about this is that the truck stop would be better served my having a subways shop in it place or a better restaurant

I got the lobster poutine here and it has to be one of the worst things I ve ever tried to eat. The fries were stale, there wasn t much lobster and the gravy was more like a flavourless sludge. It cost $23 too! After a couple bites, I had no choice but to throw it out.

Great Lobster roll a bit pricey at $34.50 for 2 rolls. Prices on sign weren t correct for what we were charged. Still a reasonable price for two lobster rolls that were good. Don t get fresh lobster like that living in Ontario everyday.

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

I ordered 2 lobster rolls @$30.00 and I was charged $34.49. Yet it says $29.99 on the menu and they didnt want to refund me. They say that taxes are included but this is false because they must indicate to consumers the amount of taxes that you pay (it is a duty) on your invoice (rebate of the H.S.T. For businesses). Bad pricing information. A very sneaky way for the owner to put tax money directly into their pockets.

So I was staying nearby and decided to grab one of their Lobster rolls which seemed popular online. The reviews is only for their lobster roll snack which came in at 20 dollars including taxes. The fries were really crisp and fresh but the lobster roll itself was less than average and certainly not worth the hype.

Very disappointed with the quality of service and the quantity of the meal, I go there often but this time is the last I asked why we dont have enough fries the lady in front told me that its the normal portion because they ran out of them and the order of fries only comes in on Thursday. I regret not leaving him his dish on his counter, I paid full price plus tips even though it s not worth it.

The Pirate restaurant is wedge between a Tim Horton and a gas/convenience store, so during the day, it is busy. Had to wait a few minutes before I could order (theres a queue). Went there hoping to get cooked lobster to bring back home, but The Pirate restaurant stopped selling cooked lobster since last year maybe because of covid. Ordered the lobster roll and fried clam strips for the kids. We sat with other customers from Tim Horton as theres no dedicated section for customers of The Pirate. The kids said the lobster roll were bland, just some mayonnaise taste and thats it. But they loved the fried clam strip. The people in Edmundston are very nice and friendly, will go back and visit again in the future. Hopefully The Pirate will restart selling cooked lobsters again.

We re looking for a Tim Horton s breakfast on our way from Rivière du Loup to Amherst and saw this place. The line up at Timmys was long so we thought we d give it a chance. So happy we did. We all had omelettes and they were awesome. The server was friendly and joked with us. The coffee was almost as good as Timmys and the omelettes came with toast and hashbrowns. They were a good size and fuelled us for the day. I d recommend it for sure. It didn t take much longer than it would have if we were waiting for Tim Hortons and was much better.
