FiN Folk Food

We stopped at Fin Folk Food on a Sunday night and it was absolutely worth the wait! I had the clam chowder and the hot lobster roll and both were outstanding, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was fantastic from start to finish, the staff were friendly and attentive. They don’t take reservations, so we waited about 40 minutes, but they take your name and text you when your table is ready, which gave us time to stroll along the beach and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at FiN Folk. To start, the check-in / wait list system is great! We were able to take a stroll on the beach as we waited and see a countdown to our place in line on our phone. Very convenient! The meal was also great! I ordered the 6 oz Hot Lobster Roll and my sons ordered a 4 oz roll each. We all really enjoyed our dinners. The lobster portions are generous and taste great with the butter they are coated in. The fries are also tasty, proper russet potato fries that are perfectly crispy. I had a local blonde and a sour to go with the meal and quite enjoyed them. My wife ordered the seafood chowder and said it was one of the best she'd ever had. The restaurant itself is tasteful and modern with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. The location is beautiful, especially on a sunny summer evening. Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience! This location is big, bright, and comfortable. They allow dogs on the dog-friendly side of the dining room, which also has an outdoor seating area with delightful views of the beach and ocean beyond. Every staff person with whom we interacted was incredibly kind, professional, and went above-and-beyond in their efforts; they were also sweet to our dogs. Our food was excellent and well-priced. This was both a stand-out seafood experience and general dining experience on the island.

Friendly (and clean) dogs are allowed! That automatically gives the atmosphere a 5 in my books. That being said, there were not any dogs around when we visited. The food was delicious, especially the hot lobster roll and the seafood chowder. Another member of our party had the hotdog, and said it was the best he ever had. The chicken fingers were a huge hit with the 6 year old in our group, and the pan fried haddock with salad was also a hit. I had the fish tacos and they were delicious as well. Pretty much everything comes with fries, although you can swap them out for something else for an upcharge. We also had some cocktails with our meals, and they were all pretty bland. I would suggest sticking to canned or bottled drinks if you do want something. All in all the meal was good, and my wife and I did return for a second meal so that she could get the hot lobster roll one more time before we left the Island.

I visited Fin Folk Food on two occasions while in PEI. The first was with a large family group for dinner. The second was with my husband for lunch after visiting the beach (lovely by the way). On both occasions we thought the food was outstanding. The hot lobster roll is one of the best I've ever had. The chowder was also excellent. Fish tacos were good. The drinks however, were all pretty disappointing. There were 11 of us in our group on the first visit. Those who got beer or a bottled/canned beverage were happy. The few of us who had cocktails were pretty disappointed. The drinks lacked flavour and seemed weak. When my husband and I returned, we stuck with canned seltzers which were more reliable. The service was a bit hit and miss. It is a busy place, so some confusion is understandable, but servers, while friendly and well-intentioned, seemed to lack training in some cases. On our second visit, when we ordered canned seltzers, the server brought the seltzers but no glasses. Okay, fine, maybe they forgot. My husband went up to the bar to ask for glasses and different members of staff looked at him like he's an alien. Then they offer him plastic cups. He says "Can I have two GLASS glasses please" and they grudgingly hand them over. Why is this a big deal or an odd request? Looking around, most people have glasses on their tables. Other restaurants would actually POUR your beverage into a glass for you and maybe even add a wedge of lime or something, but here plunking a can down is what you can expect I guess. At least the seafood is excellent. That is what we are all there for! Just expect a very casual environment and avoid cocktails made at the bar. Love Love Love that they have a dog-friendly section and a wall of dog pictures! I wish we had our pup with us when we visited. I would give them a bonus star just for this if I could because it can be very hard to find places to go with your dog, especially indoors, but since the food is prepared downstairs, the upstairs section allows dogs. Big kudos for that!

This place was highly recommended. We tried it and it did not disappoint. Service was excellent. Location is great!!! Atmosphere is amazing!!! We had the hot 4oz lobster roll and the fried scallops. Both were amazing. Time we waited for our food was normal and the taste was great. I liked that they are dog friendly and they accommodated us great.

This was our best seafood experience on PEI! The food was all fantastic - large, flavourful portions. Go on a Tuesday for Taco Tuesday! There is a dog friendly area of the restaurant, and they provide a water dish plus treats for your pet. They also take a photo for their dog wall. Service was generally good, although it took slightly longer than expected, and they forgot 1 order, which they had made after being reminded. (To be fair, it was busy as we were there on Canada Day.)

A beautiful place to sit by watching the sea and enjoy your meal . The Lobster rolls here are the best I have eaten in PEI . The portion size complements the price which is not too much considering the taste . The surrounding areas of the restaurant are so picturesque that one can spend hours strolling by .

What a view and ambiance. Really enjoyed our meal this spring when we were in PEI. Kid friendly, too. Service was solid.

This was a beautiful place to have a meal looking out onto the water and sand dunes. I was going to start with a cup of chowder and have some haddock. The waitress was nice enough to offer me to have a cup of the chowder instead of salad that came with 1 piece of pan dried haddock. It was perfect size meal for 1 with the choice of 1 or 2 pieces of haddock. I prefer the pan-fried as it typically has less batter than deep fried. It was nice and flaky. The seafood chowder was nice. It was not thick like some other restaurants but had a nice mix of lobster, scallops and fish. The service was excellent. I also had a blackberry sour which was very tasty.

2nd time to the island and 1st time here for lunch. Everything we ordered was delicious and OMG they give you so much fries which were crispy and good. Great service and friendly staff. Perfect place to go grab before or after the beach

Just happened by this place e and what a delight. Had the pan sautéd haddock with a really fresh salad. It was amazing as was the view.

Nice setting Fish and chips not impressive Chips were soggy, fish breaded and a bit dry. Tatar sauce is just mayonnaise. It has almost no taste. $30. Not a great value for the quality

Fish tacos are incredible! Service is good. Upstairs is quite noisy. Outside deck is nice. Views from the restaurant are beautiful. Go to Harrys for i e cream afterwards!!!

Omg. PEI mandatory meal. (Maritimes mandatory meal.) Absolutely recommend the Fish Burger. Beautiful views to go with the delicious food. This may be a little out of the way, but that's a good thing. You wouldn't be able to get in here If it was easy to get to. Well worth the slightly "off-roading" ride. Service was excellent. Pretty much bring it to you drop it off. But you didn't have to wait long. Amazing given the volume of customers. When you think Canada, think Hockey and Fin Folk Food. Can't wait to make it back!

Fish tacos are outstanding. I had the sampler and lobster roll was generous. We were able to take our dog and the service was friendly and attentive.

The food is fine, but nothing special, and this place is owned by one of the most hated developers on the island. The restaurant is across from a construction site for a brand new resort that clashes with the local character and pastoral setting. If that weren't enough, the developer drained a wetland to build without permission. Avoid! Not worth it!

One of the most beautiful spots you'll eat takeaway! Fin Folk Food is located at a former Island haunt, colloquially referred to in the past as "Pogey Beach" (Google the Island-inspired fictional film) because of the stunning beach location Islanders could access without paying a fee. The setting will take your breath away! From delicious lobster rolls, fish tacos, hot dogs, and chilli - it's a great way to eat and see the beach! Service is always spot on. Once you find the spot (plan for a walk on the beach or even a swim), order from the downstairs counter. The staff will provide you with a buzzer before you depart to find a table (beautiful views from inside or outside seating).

Food was so fresh and delicious! Jodi was so sweet! We sampled their scallops they will be serving starting July 1st and she gave me a few complimentary to take with me when I told her how much I enjoyed them but we lived in Florida! View of ocean was just a plus! Definitely visit this restaurant! You won't be disappointed!

The food was excellent. I had the haddock and it was cooked perfectly, and the salad was fresh and tasty. The atmosphere and view are wonderful.

We just happened upon this place after an attendant at a nearby market recommended it. By far the BEST LOBSTER ROLLS we have ever had! We each got the 4 ounce "hot"version which came with fries (also very good!) and the helping was generous and Delicious! We also ordered a cup of the seafood chowder. I could not eat mine-too full from roll and fries. Beautiful setting on the water. Well worth the drive-a bit remote.

Great place with solid food and a great view/location. Service was excellent! Will return on my next visit to the island.

Great food and location! My parents and I shared the fin sampler (1/2 Lobster roll hot or cold, 1 fish taco, 1 pice fish with fries tartar sauce and coleslaw) and 2 bowls of chowder. We upgraded the 1/2 lobster roll to a full roll hot. Everything was delicious. We went once last year as well, is definitely a favourite spot and we will be back.

We were seated outside and near the end of our meal. There was a gentleman seated at the next table, it was somewhat windy and the freestanding umbrella was blown over. The umbrella landed on him and knocked over a glass bottle of water, the bottle then land on the patio and broke. He stood the umbrella back up, I thought it could blow over again, so I invited him to sit with us. He notified the young attendant and then sat with us. Within a minute the attendant brought him another bottle of water. The manager came out and they moved the table so they could clean up the broken glass. They swept up the area and mopped up the water, then put the table back in place. We had finished eating, I went up to the bussing station while my wife went inside to get a to go tray for our leftover food. While I was standing there the owner came by and asked if I needed something. I replied, no I'm all set, my wife is just getting a to go tray. He went inside and reprimanded the manager because I was outside waiting. He asked where the young attendant was. She replied that he was likely busy elsewhere. I expect the young lad was rinsing out the mop, putting the broom and dustpan away and maybe washing his hands. I felt it was very rude of the owner to speak to the manager the way he did, especially in front of customers. I felt that those two employees dealt with an unfortunate accident professionally an as quickly as possible. The manager apologized to the customer and offered to replace his food, which he declined. The owner is very lucky to have those two employees and should treat them accordingly.
