“The notion of supporting local is a fundamental business philosophy for us.”
- Carl Nicholson
Indeed, the restaurant has a very loyal customer base that extends across generations of families and staff. Nicholson recalls the first time he noticed the impact the restaurant has had on families. “While attending a wake for a longtime customer,” he says, “I saw a slideshow with many pictures, over the years, of dining at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers with various ages of children and grandchildren.” He also has a warm memory from a difficult time. It was during the Covid pandemic when the 300-seat dining room was allowed only 50 guests. The restaurant decided to take reservations to fill the seats they could. A woman called from Fredericton and told Nicholson her adult son still talked about the dinners he had enjoyed at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers as a child. “He remembered being able to have more than one dessert,” laughs Nicholson, “and he was going to bring his two kids to the restaurant.” Community, connection and tradition: these three words are part of what makes New Glasgow Lobster Suppers such a special place. If you are in the area, be sure to stop in for the original PEI lobster supper experience and make some memories of your own around the dinner table.
