Happened on this place on our first day exploring PEI, and were pleasantly surprised to find great food and service at this small pub/restaurant located inside the charming old rail station in Kensington. The special that day—a Caldo Verde soup, rich and hearty—let us know immediately that these folks know their way around the kitchen. Service prompt. Salad was uber fresh, well constructed, and came with a nice, clean dressing that didn’t overwhelm. Burger and sweet potato fries solid. All in all, a great lunch.

Delicious restaurant recommended by locals. The food and service was delicous. One thing I appreciated is the server gave recommendations rather than say all is good or whatever you have a taste for which happens. We had a starter of delicious kettle chips. My husband had a Smokestack burger with fries and I had the classic station burger with village salad. Both were delicious, highly recommend this restaurant.

Great pub food and drink, vegetarian friendly, in an historic railway station! We’ve loved this venue for many years, since it was first reborn as a pub at the crossroads of central PEI. We’ve always been accommodated as vegetarians, but this year there are excellent choices and at least a couple of new off menu items they’re working on. All delicious and very welcome in a pub.

we reserved for 6:45, we’re allowed in at 6:55. Two tables were open on the bar area and we were taken to back cramped dining area. With our food order our server took my husbands order for beer but me and our 11yr old daughter sat thirsty u til my husband flagged her down running past and ignoring our table. After 40 minutes and watching everyone else around us eating, I asked our server when we could expect our dinner and she snapped at me they were busy. We decided to leave. No sooner did we get out the door did the owner jump out and say our food ‘was about to hit the table, but never mind, I can see we can’t do anything to please you tonight’. I didn’t even have a beverage. No one tried to even provide me basic service. Then some people he knew were coming in and there’s a spot for them reservations don’t matter and the staff are only as good as their boss.

We reserved a spot for 5 for Friday, Aug 18th for lunch at 2:00 pm. The place was packed, very noisy. I ordered the Burger with blue cheese and subbed sweet potato fries for the regular fries for a treat. We did wait quite awhile for our meal, but really not an issue that day. Beside the staff that worked in the kitchen, I saw only one waitress, and maybe the owner who was delivering orders from the kitchen. Was not impressed with the burger... almost like the blue cheese, the mayo and the carmelized onions were actually a sauce.. dripping, very sloppy and very strong flavor from the cheese (and I do like blue cheese!) I separated the meat/sauce from the roll and used fork and knife to eat. The sweet potato fries were very brown, overcooked, and soggy. The waitress did not get back to our table to see if evrything was o.k. with our meal; she was very busy so I just let it go. I have only been there several times over the last few years and was hoping my experience would be better than the last time there. Didn't happen. Not impressed.

Tried this for supper. Setting is a unique train station built in 1905. It was quaint. Server was good, friendly enough. We had the soup, garlic-parm wings, haddock fish and chips and finished with rhubarb crisp with vanilla ice cream. Soup (split pea) was very good. F&C haddock smothered in batter was ok. Far more batter than my wife liked. Wings were good, altho presentation wasn’t great. The crisp was pretty sweet for my taste. Overall just an ok meal. I wouldn’t return and probably won’t recommend to friends coming later this summer. Value for money again was OK, but not great. We’ll try other options in the area.

We visited for dinner based on the TA reviews. The restaurant was very busy with every table outside taken and most of inside full too, so it wasn't unexpected that the food did take a bit of time to arrive, but when it did arrive it was hot and well cooked. Our server was looking after a lot of tables yet still managed to check that we had drinks, etc.
We had a couple of specials and the prices were higher than similar menu items, and as the server didn't mention the prices we were a bit surprised by them.

Embarrassing to to all of whom come to appreciate local seafood. Had the overpriced seafood showder with CHINESE CANNED CLAMS. The over salted steak was fair and never before had black sautéed mushrooms.
They promote local yet they only have disgusting imported ciders when pei produces great ones.
Restaurantors should take more attention to the importance of promoting local.

I was driving through Kensington on my way to a different town, but having skipped lunch decided to stop for something to eat and I was happy I did. They were quite busy at the time, and booked up a bit later in the night with reservations, but they were able to seat me at the bar. I was really happy with everything. The wait staff were all friendly and attentive. Watching some of the other orders come out of the kitchen, all the food looked very good. I ended up ordering a burger and poutine. Both were very good. I love a good, messy, juicy burger and that is exactly what I got. The poutine was also very good, with a really nice gravy and squeaky cheese. I didn't try any of the local beers on tap (driving) but they looked to have a very nice selection. Overall I was very happy with everything and would definitely go back.

We dropped by ISP this weekend for our first visit of the season. Eric & Jamie are the best and the food never disappoints. This is a gastro pub that can hold its own against any other in any major city. Kudos guys for making enjoyable home made food. Not to be disrespectful, but hard to believe a pub if this calibre lives in rural PEI.

Came in without a reservation at 4:30 and got the last table. The waitress was very quick to move us when a quieter table became available. Nice, fun atmosphere. Service was great. We both had the fish tacos with fries and it was good.

This restaurant is in a beautifully restored train station maintaining original architectural features in the dining areas. As 2 couples we ordered a variety of apps, entrees, and desserts. All were delicious and well-presented. Our waitress was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. A great experience overall.

We only stopped off for a quick beer after being to the beach, directed by google.
What a great place, friendly staff especially the gentleman who served us. We can't comment on the food but it looked amazing we only had a snack which was very good.
Highly recommended it makes us wish that we were in the area for another day or so when we could have dinner here, and appreciate this hospitality.
Thanks

Went a couple times this summer. Both times we had a small seafood chowder and then shared an order of fish and chips. Hands down, best chowder anywhere and the fish was spot on. Service was great, food consistent. Will return again.
