Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Very nice, large, covered area with picnic tables where you can eat. People were very friendly. The food was good, but the prices seemed high. I ordered a large lobster roll and it did have a lot of lobster, but seemed small for $27. They have Gifford's ice cream which of course is great."
"Amazing! Learned a little about difference between Soft Tail Lobster and Hard Tail (not one of those things we need to know about growing up in Montana and Wyoming ). Tasted wonderful and decently priced (I paid more because I ordered Lobster). I'd for sure go back again. Order at window style with plenty of seating outdoor, covered outdoor, and an indoor area."
"Friendly staff. Fried clams and onion rings were amazing! Tons of indoor and outdoor seating."
"Fried haddock is out of this world! Cute quaint food stop that won’t dissapoint. Advice: get the onion rings- they’re delicious!"
"Went here in July on a road trip. Such a great place on the side of the road! The lobster roll was so good but also so affordable even for Maine ($28 if I remember correctly). The lobster bisque on the side complemented it perfectly. 10/10 would recommend!"
"Very good local place for fresh seafood. (Update) - So good on Monday had to go again on Saturday. This time had the Captains Platter with Twin Lobster Rolls & Sweet Potato Fries. This will be my go to place when visiting the area. Oh an this place has huge icecream portions."
"Great deal on the shrimp basket on Thursday nights! Had a good time with family and friends. Ice cream portions are generous like it should be. Good place to stop on your way to Acadia."
"First time visit! Ordered the lobster roll with onion rings and Whole belly Fried clams with curly fries! The lobster roll was stellar with a bit of lettuce! Enjoyed the lettuce in the roll. The clams had huge bellies and were equally amazing! Cole slaw was spot on! Definitely will be returning!"
