Water Prince Corner Shop

Stopped in at Water Prince Corner Shop in Charlottetown for lunch and it completely lived up to its local legend status. Local tourism folks said this was the best place in town for Lobster Rolls and I wasn’t disappointed. We tried both the lobster roll and the burger, and each one was outstanding in its own way.nnThe lobster roll was loaded with generous chunks of fresh, sweet Atlantic lobster, lightly dressed and served on a soft, toasted buttery roll — simple, coastal perfection. The side of creamy potato salad rounded it out beautifully. I appreciated the dollop of mayo on the side so you could create your own perfect balance and ratio for the roll.nnThe burger was just as impressive — juicy, flavorful, and topped with melted cheddar, grilled onions, fresh lettuce and tomato, served with hand-cut fries and a scoop of slaw. Every bite felt homemade and hearty.nnThis spot captures everything you love about PEI — fresh seafood, honest comfort food, and a relaxed maritime vibe. While it was the tail end of the season we enjoyed the crisp cool air outside. There was plenty of comfortable seating inside and out. Whether you’re craving the sea or a classic burger, Water Prince Corner Shop delivers every time.

I visited Water Prince Corner Shop about six years ago and still remember how fresh and well-priced the food was. I came back recently and nothing has changed in the best way. The consistency is still there, the quality of the food is top tier, and the prices are still really fair. This time around I got the lobster dinner with seafood chowder and a lobster roll on the side. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes the whole experience even better. Easily one of my favourite spots in PEI.

Great little restaurant near the waterfront. Has an extensive fish menu and some meat dishes. Excellent scallops! Also has an interesting selection of PEI beers.nVery friendly and attentive staff and our food was served quickly. Prices were reasonable. The key question: would I come back here? Definitely.

Best lobster roll I have found. Travelled all over the East Coast, and this one is the best! Alma Lobster Shop was very good too, but Water Price is now the gold standard.nnLocated by the water, the location is great for wandering around downtown. Medium size dining room, reservations for diner are recommended.nnService was ok, the food made up for the lack of engagement. Pictures on the wall attest to the popularity of the restaurant, as a number of high profile celebrities have dined here, adding to the atmosphere. As the saying goes, you gotta eat here!nnThere is also a packed for travel option for lobsters.

Wonderful service, great people here. If you come to town via cruise, try to come here first thing in the morning for seats as it gets busy after 11am. They have outside seating, as well as inside seats. It's less than 10 minutes walk from the cruise port. It was one of the first recommended lobster roll places by the information center. We ordered 2 lobster rolls, a fried oyster appetizer 5pcs and a local beer. Total was about $98 plus tip. Not cheap! The fried oyster was average. Nothing too memorable. I wouldn't order it again. The lobster roll was good and you could order with fries, baked or mashed potatoes. This place also won the Shellfish Excellence Award back in 2023.nnReservation is taken for dinner if you'd like to reserve.
