  Our tour group of 48 had dinner here last week.  Other than a few private diners, we were the only ones here.  
  
  They've got a huge salad bar and AYCE mussels were great.  Fresh salad ingredients, and the mussels were constantly being replenished up at the salad bar.  We ate to our hearts content.
  
  The main attraction was the 1 - 1 1/4 lb. lobster.  Came to the table pre-cracked which we appreciated.  Although your paper placemat has drawings of how to crack a lobster.  I've been to Maine & Massachusetts so I can handle a lobster, but you never know.
  
  Desserts are plentiful with a soft ice cream machine, and coffee and refillable sodas.
  
  Supposedly their strawberry shortcake dessert is a hit, so we asked to have it.  Must be just a rumor.  The strawberries were too sweet and the shortcake was very hard.  Knock, knock.
  
  Servers were very busy clearing the mussel shells and the used salad plates.  
  
  After dinner, you can mosey into the gift shop.  Just like at an amusement park, the gift shop is on your way out.

  Well I'm gonna start off with the staff was very nice.
  Very clean and tidy salad bar area.
  However it ends there for us.  Beyond disappointed but glad we got a discount with the currency rate because everything we tried we didn't like.  It felt like industrial food.  Not homemade.  The Blue mussels were more like brown dried out morsels. I tried to revive them with melted butter but didn't work.  The Greek tabbouleh was just parsley really.  No flavor and that's among my favorites, but not here.  I did like the hard boil eggs.  The hot pop over rolls were cold.  The butter to cold to even smear in my cold bun.  
  I did then tossed the idea of the 60' salad bar and decided to try some desserts.  To me, nothing seemed to be homemade.  Maybe made and frozen ??? Even the chocolate chip cookies seemed fake.  Hard as a rock.  The coffee was good.  The waiter asked if I would like to try the strawberry shortcake.  It wasn't on the bar but they make it up in the kitchen.  I said sure.  Well, I was hoping for fresh strawberries but not the case.
  Maybe it's off season, or maybe they were just off ??? Either way, I'm glad I took off and left this place !!  
  2 stars for cleanliness and friendliness!

  Their infamous 60 feet-long salad bar & AYCE local mussels draws in plenty of locals & buses of tourists alike.
  
  //THE ATMOSPHERE//
  We arrived on a Tuesday night ~6pm and the parking lot (although sufficiently big) was already very full. Once we parked & got to the front entrance, we entered at the RIGHT-sided doors to get to the buffet & not the a la carte part of the restaurant. Then we lined up for ~20minutes to pay for our entree meal (which automatically includes access to the salad bar & mussels buffet). You can also just pay $23 for only the AYCE buffet with no entree. All alcoholic drinks are extra.
  
  Once we got seated, we handed our VERY friendly & sweet waiter our receipt with our respective entree meal. From then onwards, you can order the complimentary clam chowder & bread for the waiter to bring to the table. Otherwise, we bee-lined straight to the AYCE mussels & salad bar.
  TIP#1: don't go crazy at the buffet, save some room for your entree meal!
  TIP#2: use the plastic buckets to easily pile the mussels to bring back to your table.
  TIP#3: wear the plastic bib because things will get messy!
  
  //THE FOOD//  
  The salad bar had an amazing selection...from simple green salads, different potato salads, to Mediterranean-style. At the end of the salad bar, there was bread pudding with a brown butter sauce, the freshly steamed MUSSELS, fountain soda, and tons of dessert! There was a soft serve machine and all types of pies. They also have a daily kitchen dessert (for us it was Strawberry shortcake) that the waiter offered to bring to our table.  
  
  The Entrees:
  LOBSTER 1.5LBS (~$48) - you can get it served cold (what the islander locals prefer) or hot. We had ours hot & the lobster was cooked right! Although it was expensive...we were on vacation & wanted to try a 'lobster supper' haha. Definitely have it with melted butter, use the plastic pick to get the claw meat out, & follow the table top paper instructions on how to breakdown a lobster!
  FRIED SHRIMP (~$36) - the shrimp were giant and cooked/fried pretty well. It also came with a large side of potatoes (you can choose mashed, baked, or fries).
  
  The Buffet:
  Overall great selection. The highlights for me were the different potato salads & the mussels! It was steamed perfectly & had just a touch of seasoning to give it some flavour. I really enjoyed their blueberry pie with some soft serve ice cream too. I wished I saved more room to try more dessert pies! I would skip out on the chowder as it was very starchy & bland. A lot of the buffet salads like the coleslaw were also too sweet or excessive with the mayo or dressing.
  
  //OVERALL//
  Fisherman's wharf had outstanding service, a buffet that was well-stocked & fresh, and served seafood that was cooked right. Since I only really enjoyed a couple of their buffet items & with a very pricey entree, I would rate it 3.5 out of 5!

  Me and my partner came here if the new Glasgow lobster suppers because our host said it was the better choice. We each got a 1 pound lobster. We had mussels, seafood chowder and helped ourselves to the salad bar. The service was really great and the young man was happy and created a very welcoming environment! We both had a great time with our lobster, it was very festive with our bibs on. We both left stuffed and exhausted! Overall a very fun experience to tie into our PEI road trip, and I highly recommend. Lots of locals and not swarmed with tourists like I was worried of!

  We stopped in this place for lunch as a part of our excursion booked through Disney Cruise Line.  We were on Prince Edward Island for the day.  Apparently, the place is normally closed on the day that we were there (Tuesday, October 24, 2017), so it was just the excursions from the cruise that stopped in here for lunch.  Since it was just the tour groups coming in, it was fairly easy getting in and out.
  
  Within a few minutes of being seated, the servers came out with the lobster rolls (pictures included).  The lobster roll was good, but I thought there would have been more than just that for a lunch.  Since it was through the excursion, I'm not sure how much of it went to them on a per person basis.  Water was at all of the seats in the place where we were reserved.  However, there were a few occasions that I needed to get a refill of water and I had to flag down one of the servers over by the server area, as they were primarily just chatting away over there.  There were a few communal desserts to choose from at the table, but that was it.  Overall, the lobster roll was good, but I thought there would have been more food available there.  There was no buffet or salad bar option for the groups that came in that day.
  
  This place also has a pretty good sized gift shop right at the entrance to the place.  There are plenty of touristy type items to be found there.  I didn't get anything there as the shop was pretty busy with multiple buses here at the time.  I ended up going outside for a while to enjoy the weather, as it was sunny with temperatures in the low 70s.
  
  Overall, this place was okay.  I think it would have been better had more been available than just the lobster roll sandwich and potato salad.  Myself, along with a few others, just felt we were being rushed in and out of the place.  I don't like having that kind of experience.  Would I try the place again if I'm up that way again?  Maybe.  I'd need to check everything that's available, cost, etc. before I make that final decision.
