  The perfect way to end your day on PEI!
  
  Reasonable prices for such delicious food and beer. I had a lobster burger because it was highly recommended to me. I would also highly recommend it if you really appreciate the taste of lobster. From what I've heard the lobster roll has some herbs and mayonnaise that can impede the lobster flavor whereas the lobster burger is straight lobster, butter and bun!
  
  The fries were delicious. Perfectly crisp on the outside while soft and warm on the inside.
  
  I loved my Devil "something" beer. I have also had the blueberry beer from the island and I would highly recommend it. It's the most impressive fruity beer I've ever had.
  
  If you're on the island during this restaurant's open season I would highly recommend stopping by.

  Great recipe for fish with their potato flake coating.
  Lobster roll is outstanding.
  Be prepared to wait - things don't move too fast in good ol PEI

  Yes come to Richard's for one of the best seafood experiences on PEI...but it helps to come prepared with the right mind set. Namely be prepared to wait, because yes it's worth it.
  
  It doesn't matter when you get there, you will experience a wait.
  
  As for the food, make no mistake the lobster roll is delightful...BIG chunks of chilled crustacean, light mayo, chives, lemon & celery all on a traditional buttery split-top bun...definitely PEI Top 5 IMO.
  
  But the reason why you come and wait upwards of an hour+ is...FISH & CHIPS.
  
  Hands down this is THE best on the island if not all of the Maritimes (ok ok I certainly haven't tried them all but you get the point, this is other-worldly type stuff here)!
  
  The secret is panko-breading which gives the haddock (no cod here buddy) lightness, flakiness & just the right amount of crunch.
  
  The other 'secret sauce' is the secret sauce, as in tartar.
  
  It is one of the most unique...I've heard rumors of sun-dried tomato in the mix...but surely there's other secret ingredients, and wowza does it provide the perfect dipper.
  
  Fries are fresh-cut PEI tubers and righteous.
  
  So bring a book, download a podcast OR better yet, bring a buddy and trade off while one person goes dock jumping off nearby Covehead Wharf to kill the time in the most fun of ways...but ride it out and you'll be glad you did.

  A picture perfect shack, in a picture perfect location, serving picture perfect (and perfectly tasty) food. It doesn't get any better than this! Richard's is a MUST-EAT location if you're visiting the island.
  
  Two of us split the lobster roll and the fish and chips and they were both unlike any other offerings on the island. The lobster role was served in a top-sliced bun and was overflowing with chunks of buttery, whole lobster. The lobster salad had a clean taste that highlighted the meatiness and texture of the lobster. Supported by a perfectly toasted bun, this lobster roll can't be beat! The highlight of the fish and chips was the crispy panko breading, which added a great texture to the flaky and moist fish.
  
  Had a great time here. There was a bit of a wait, especially considering we came as part of a great group, but the wait is well worth your time! Also leave your mark on the restaurant in the main seating area on the graffiti walls!

  Juicy lobster, crispy buttery bread and fresh cut fries - exactly what I wanted from a lobster roll experience in PEI. Pro-tip: get your meal to eat on the rooftop terrace overlooking the water! Also added tip, go to doors down on the left to get freshly shucked oysters - best I've ever had!
