Moo Moo BBQ - Avonlea Village — Restaurant in Cavendish

We had lunch (a family of 5) here during our recent vacation in PEI. First, the drink cooler/fridge only had chocolate milk and some variations of what looked like iced tea but no bottled water, soft drinks or juice - it was like someone should have refilled the fridge but didn’t bother. Even after I asked the cashier about it, she just shrugged and that was that. Next, the prices are high for the quality of food you get and the speed you get it at…bacon and grilled cheese with a handful of potato chips is nothing extraordinary and the staff behind the counter was slow despite a few grilling machines and not many orders and they didn’t appear to be happy - no one smiled or said thank you when we ordered or picked up our food from the counter when it was ready. At $80 for lunch, I think you are paying more for the restaurant brand name then you are for the quality of the food. If you enjoy spending that kind of money for a mediocre lunch, then go ahead and eat here, but if not, try elsewhere like a local restaurant where you can likely get better and more types of food and better and friendlier service - the island is full of places like that! Next time we visit PEI, MOO MOO ...

The restaurant has Gluten free options, but are limited in scope. They don't take enough precautions for people with Gluten intolerance and celiac. This can be mitigated if they were to place parchment paper on either sides of the grilled cheese sandwiches, before putting them on the grill press. I would also suggest offering certified Gluten free barbecue sauces for people who want to have the barbecue dinners, but can not because of Gluten in the sauces. I love the location though, and with a little work to ensure they can obtain more customers by offering more inclusive options such as; Gluten free barbecue sauces, parchment paper on either sides of the Gluten Free sandwiches before being put on the grill, and maybe a little more training for their servers about some of the various dietary restrictions/allergies. A little bit can...

Excellent service and a welcoming atmosphere, but this place is all about the food, it hits a spot. Spend all morning at Cavendish beach, then drop by Moo Moo for a sandwich and you'll know exactly what I mean. Every item we tried was so delicious. The mix of the sauces and coleslaw/pickles with the meet, be it brisket or sausage, it exquisite. As for the grilled cheese sandwich, made with local Cows cheese, that is both decadent and memorable, because it will be the best grilled cheese sandwich you'll ever have.

We left this place telling each other we must come back again before our trip to Cavendish ends. I highly...
