They have the best lobster rolls and seafood chowder that I have ever, ever had and I used to live in PEI. I have never had anything like this before. The owners are so friendly and accommodating. The Red Hatters went there one night before we went on a Hay ride and the service and food was A++++++. Loved it... More

This is not a luxurious establishment - but spotless with some local art on the walls, with friendly staff and EXCELLENT lobster rolls. We returned more than once and had another just to do quality control! We were not disappointed and are already looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I came upon this place by chance. After having spent 8 days in Atlantic Canada and eating lobster rolls and chowders at various locations we were underwhelmed by Atlantic seafood. That all changed with Island Favorite. Seafood chowder was wonderful with plenty of seafood. The lobster roll was tasty and loaded with lobster. Everything tasted fresh and... More

I loved my dining experience at Island Favourites. It's the first lobster roll I enjoyed on my east coast trip and the most memorable. I loved that there were a variety of options. I First Mate's-mayo free roll so I could enjoy the freshness of the lobster. I also tried the lobster roll sampler. If you're visiting PEI and you... More

I have enjoyed many lobster rolls growing up in Nova Scotia, and I have to say this was the best lobster roll I have ever eaten. While not cheap, it was worth the cost. We even tried to go a second time during our 5 day stay and were disappointed it was closed. We'll be back during future visits.

WIth all the raving going around about this place, I expected more. The lobster roll was average - nothing too out-of-the-ordinary in terms of lobster rolls. There were not enough tables in the dining area, unfortunately. Chowder was small, and nothing to call home about.

After seeing plenty of locals tweeting about this new restaurant in Cavendish, we thought we would check it out on the Labour Day holiday. We each had the Greenhorn roll (lobster roll with dill and chives) with a "side of potato salad". Side should be adjusted to two bites, as that's all that was in the container. The lobster roll...

I was on the island for a 3 day visit and on a recommendation from the owners of The Graham Inn tried the Lobster Rolls and the Lobster Chowder and was not disappointed. Danielle you are doing a great job and on my way home from PEI made sure that I had a lobster roll to go. Great food Danielle... More

Owner Danielle has created a winning combination ... a limited menu of Island Favourites of exceptional quality. I hope she turns this seasonal restaurant into a year-round operation ... that menu would make a great contribution to the Charlottetown food scene!

We had captain lobster roll, stuffed potato, lobster wrap, and chicken wrap, as well as home made lemonade and potato salad. Everything was delicious, but I ended paying $110 including taxes and tip for meal for 2 adults and 2 children, and that is not a fancy place, with plastic tables and plastic cutlery, so I was a bit shocked.
