The Island Stone Pub

A new year and a new owner! Much better experience than last year! Wait staff was on the ball, and friendly. Our food was better as well!

Went to try out this pub last night for the first time with my family while we are in PEI for vacation from Toronto Ontario.
I ordered the Kessler with the honey mustard dipping sauce for an appetizer to share with my boyfriend to start. It was very delicious; the meat was tender and the dipping sauce was extremely flavourful. The only downside to the appetizer was the fact that our server forgot to bring us cutlery so we were eating with our hands for a while until the cutlery came.
For my main dish I ordered the chicken curry burrito with a side order of fries. The burrito was incredible; great combination of flavours and a mix of sweet and salty. By this I mean, in the burrito there were sliced apples and raisins on top of the chicken curry.
All in all a great place with great food. The service could be improved upon a little bit but otherwise I will be returning here during future vacations.

Looking for a place to eat in Kensington that wasn’t a dairy bar… came upon this place — right as we were stocking up on some BEvERages next door at the liquor outlet.
Ordered a sociable size of the Beach Chair Lager, fish & chips, a fish sandwich, a burger, a caesar salad, jalapeño popper dip.
As far as I am concerned, the fish was outstanding — crisp outside yet moist and flaky on the inside. HUGE portion of fish and fries — right what we were looking for. The fish sandwich is simply fish from the Fish & Chips, in a bun with lettuce. And it was fantastic. The fresh cut fries were to die for. The burger came on a pretzel bun and looked good — it was a basic burger well executed — and let’s face it… I am sure it is not their specialty. I am ok with that. The salad was good, and the jalapeño popper dips was so yummy with «home made» chips.
Owner was out on the patio to check on us. Great staff overall.
Super place to have a beer a quick bite, and hang out on the patio.
We’ll be back.

Stopped here on a motorcycle trip around PEI. We were just looking for a place to eat and came across this little gem.
The establishment has designated motorcycle parking which is easily visible from the outside dining area which allowed us to keep a watchful eye on our motorcycles. A major bonus in my books.
Servers were pleasant and engaging. They really made us feel welcome. Food arrived quickly after our orders were taken and was delicious.
Good choice of local island brewed beer on tap which two friends I was with enjoyed. Overall beer selection is good.
Recommended. Will stop in again on our next trip to PEI.

The food was ok. We had fish n chips, burger, and a chicken wrap. The fries were great and the fish was good too. The rest was only ok.
Service was great, staff super friendly, atmosphere nice.

I’d like to give the food 4.5 stars and the service 3 stars… that balances to 4, right?
Anyways…We were in PEI for a wedding this past weekend and were looking for somewhere to have dinner. We didn’t want anything fancy, and we weren’t in the mood for take-​out fish and chips so the lovely girl at the front desk of our hotel recommended The Island Stone Pub.
We did some research before heading out and concluded that while it seemed the service was slow, the consensus was that the food was worth it. So we headed out. Upon arrival there were a number of people outside and a few inside. We wanted to sit outside on their fabulous patio but weren’t sure if we should wait to be seated or seat ourselves. Eventually we grabbed a table and waited. Three servers walked by us without acknowledging us so my husband went inside to see if we could just sit anywhere or what the deal was. The, rather terse, girl at the bar said to sit wherever. So we stayed at our table and waited for about 10 minutes. After that we began searching Unilocal for other restaurants in the area. 15 minutes after sitting down, and about 2 minutes before we were ready to leave for another place, our server appeared. She gave us menus, took our drink orders and left. We knew what we wanted pretty quickly so when she came back with drinks we seized our opportunity to order. We got the kettle chips and onion dip to start, and then got an order of clams and a 1905 burger with fries to share.
Once she took our orders the food came out really quickly! I was surprised that we didn’t have to wait for very long, and the food… oh the food! The kettle chips were fresh and hot! Crispy on the outside, a little soft and hot on the inside with a great crunch. The dip was fresh and complimented the chips perfectly with just the right mix of dill and onion. Shortly after we finished our main meals arrived. We split the clams and chips and then cut the 1905 burger in half. And that burger was FANTASTIC! Fresh, local bun and ground beef covered with a little balasmic, crispy hand-​breaded onion rings, old smoked cheddar and some delicious portabello mushrooms. It was cooked perfectly and tasted like heaven on a local bun! I’m still licking my lips…
My husband and I both agree on this one — it takes a while to get service, but once we were helped (I believe our sever was Kelsey) they were super friendly, really knowledgeable and the food was freaking fantastic! As long as you’ve got some time, and you’re not impatient, this is the place to go!

I ate here a few Saturdays ago with my girlfriend for lunch. Since it is the offseason we were having a tough time finding a place to eat and got excited when we found this place. It is actually situated in an old train station and it was cool to be able to see the tracks and what used to be the platform. For my entrée I decided to have the gawk burger with chips. The burger was cooked nicely, was juicy and enjoyed the toppings. My chips were also good and I left here satisfied. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here in the future. I loved its location and the food was pretty good too!

I have a cottage in PEI and i visit family here all the time. I have been to this restaurant several times.
The serves may be a little slow, but its worth it.
Their sweet potato fires are amazing, and the fish is fresh and has a lot of flavor.
Defiantly stop in and try it!
