“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“First timer and I will be back and bring friends. Had the Egg and Tomato Jam Sando; so so yummy. The bun was fresh and fluffy, the egg was very impressive as it filled the whole bun and was super fluffy and thick.“

“The Summer Salad appetizer is a must. Tender greens with fresh cucumbers and mangoes with pecorino. I also recommend the Quattro pizza with fresh burratta. It’s mouthwatering. Be sure to be seated in Mitchell’s section he’s an awesome waiter 😀“

“I worked a 13 hour shift and decided to come in for a few drinks and breakfast to go! Marissa was the BOMB! Such a great personality! I’ve been here for a year and half! When I come in she’s such a delight! I enjoy her smile! She’s a great women. Props to you Marissa! 👏👏👏“

“An unforgettable dining experience from beginning to end. The food was extraordinary, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Impeccable service, incredible atmosphere, live piano music, and a stunning garden backdrop made our anniversary celebration truly special. Every little touch was exceptional. White Barn Inn exceeded every expectation. We cannot recommend it enough.“

“Fabulous food and wonderful staff. So glad we found this place when we were in the area.“

“The best…The new Peruvian comfort food menu & the drink menu is 11/10!“

“Fresh and delicious! Have a margarita! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Go elsewhere. Way overpriced for food that is not good. The service is subpar and look up past Health violations and other violations.“

“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“Duffy’s Tavern & Grill is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The highlight? The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich—a perfect blend of crispy, juicy chicken with just the right balance of heat and sweetness. It’s absolutely delicious. Great vibes, great food—highly recommend!“

“Always the best food and customer service in town. We have been going to 50 local for years, it continues to be a family favorite. Have to share because it made such a hard evening just a little easier. A few weeks ago we lost our dog Scout very tragically. I called in an order to go and whn I went in to pick it up the hostess immediately knew something was wrong. She asked if I was alright and I instantly broke down.. I told her what had just happened. She then proceeded to give me two desserts, gave me a big hug and, told me they were on the house. It wasn’t about the desserts (they were fantastic as always) it was more the kindness, support and, sympathy that she showed us that evening. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate you all so much.“

“My wife and I stayed in Kennebunk for a couple days this week and our first stop was The Pilot House. Elliot was upstairs on the ship and he was awesome, he gave us great recommendations for food in the area, and pointed us at the best things to try. 10/10 would recommend the Clam Chowder, and hands down this place is the best view in Kennebunk. Maybe take a light jacket for the wind up on the ship, but it’s an amazing view unmatched by anything else in the area. Lastly, parking in general in Kennebunk is difficult/expensive, The Pilot House has their own parking lot with great availability in our experience and is free for patrons of their restaurant/tours.“

“I recommend the Tavern! Love the atmosphere the interactions with the staff. very attentive they are! the maple bourbon wings I tried were delicious and hoping they start on the menu. can't wait to try more food options there .“

“I didn't have a bad time here. I went twice, the prices were reasonable (compared to the other shops there), the slushies were good, and the fried oreos hit the spot without making me feel bad in my wallet. If you're on the beach, there's not a good reason to go anywhere but here“

“the food, the scallops and their corn“

“Loves this place! We came 2 days in a row! Food was awesome, we had the crispy chicken wrap, poutine and smash burgers. All 10/10. Rooftop view was awesome! And we had George as our server and he was great! Polite, good mood, very accommodating! Highly recommend!“

“The food was great! People were friendly. Atmosphere comfy. I was so excited to see both gluten free and vegan options on the menu!! We had the BBQ for 2 with pinto beans, cashew queso with chips and collard greens (originally to get in a green veggie but wow, delicious!) The Diablo barbecue sauce, although not as spicy as the name would imply was outstanding! We will definitely be back.“

“We have been going to Horizons for many years. The food is always wonderful and Mary Ellen and her staff are always smiling and welcoming. One of the only places you can get a choice of how you want your eggs poached and they always come out right. Best choice for breakfast in the area.“

“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

“Everything was wonderful except for two things. There wasn't enough alcohol in my drink. I bet if I was sitting at the bar instead of a table, Charlie would have accommodated my wishes for my drink as he is a terrific bartender. And I miss the piano music!“

“In OOB for a quick getaway with my two kids. Stopped here for breakfast both days. The food was on point, kids loved the French toast and chocolate chip pancakes. But the service Marley gave us is what really stood out. She made my kids and I feel right at home.“

“I have going to Lucky loggers for 30+ years . They have the Friendliest waitresses in town along with the best breakfast in town.“

“Big Daddy’s has the best food, staff and atmosphere. I could go on and on….but there’s no need to. Simply the BEST! Never had a bad meal, drink or bad experience.“

“I recommend the Tavern! Love the atmosphere the interactions with the staff. very attentive they are! the maple bourbon wings I tried were delicious and hoping they start on the menu. can't wait to try more food options there .“

“Wonderful friendly staff and delicious food!!!“

“What an awesome spot....we went to the Wells location, but plan to hit Portland in a couple weeks. Beautiful location inside and out, great service, awesome menu for exactly what we were in the mood for. Sat at the bar, started with The Lite which was fantastic - went perfect with the mussels! Local, fresh, delicious mussels....almost drank the broth from the bowl after that last roll. Check these guys out!!“

“I love this place so much“

“My family recently got takeout while on vacation! My husband went in for pick up and observed a clean spacious dining area while being greeted by friendly staff. We had a chicken tender basket; and the steak and cheese sub. Both cooked wonderfully and we left happy and full.“

“Sebago Brewing has great beer and food in a convenient location in Kennebunk Maine. They even offer barley wine and cocktails fast and friendly. Its a local gathering spot but convenient if you are trust passing through. A very easy going vibe will be found here with $5 22oz draft beer 🍺 Wednesdays.“

“So awesome at the Brunswick that we actually bought a condo here because we love the bands, dancing, and bar! 🎶“

“5 Stars 🌟! We will support them and enjoy their great food. Never disappoints!“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“What a hidden gem!

Tucked away right next to the pool, this spot was exactly what I needed—a laid-back escape from the downtown hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport. I was initially confused about how to get in (thought I was lost for a second!), but once I found it, I knew I’d discovered something special.

Plenty of shady spots to lounge, a great indoor-outdoor vibe, and seriously relaxing poolside energy. A lot of games for kids. The menu hits all the right notes—classic food and drink options that are comforting and satisfying.

The real highlight? Kayla, the bartender. She was an absolute joy! Super friendly, attentive, and full of great local recs. Her service was top-notch, and she made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. We chatted, laughed, and I left already looking forward to coming back.

If you’re looking for a chill, sunny spot with great drinks, tasty bites, and even better company—this is it. Don’t miss it!“

“Longhorn Steakhouse Biddeford Review

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I had a meal from LongHorn Steakhouse in Biddeford that really wasn’t up to par. I normally ignore the feedback surveys, but this time I decided to fill it out. I was pleasantly surprised when James, the manager, called me almost immediately and kindly sent us a gift card to cover the full amount of our bill.

A week later, right in the middle of packing our house, we were far too exhausted to cook and decided to use the gift card. Unfortunately, that second meal fell short again. Instead of waiting for a survey this time, I called the restaurant directly and spoke with James.

He immediately took ownership of the situation and offered to have us come in so he could personally cook our meal to make things right. My husband was entirely skeptical and didn't believe a manager would actually step onto the line for us. Well, James completely blew us away. He changed out of his management clothes, put on an apron, and personally stepped into the kitchen to prepare our dinner.

I ordered the New York Strip with a loaded baked potato and asparagus, and my husband had the 9 oz Flo’s Filet with broccoli and rice pilaf. We started with a half order of the Texas Tonion, along with their iconic warm bread and butter, and my husband even grabbed the cheesecake with caramel and pecans to go. Every single item was cooked to perfection. It was, hands down, the absolute best meal and overall experience we have ever had at LongHorn.

To top it all off, our server, Sadie, was phenomenal. She worked so hard, gave us her undivided attention, and had the friendliest, most delightful personality.

In an era where food is expensive and dining choices are on every corner, we truly appreciate the hospitality, the accountability, and the entire team rolling out the red carpet for us. 10/10 we recommend LongHorn in Biddeford because they stood behind their mistakes and 100% rectified the situation.

We are so grateful for James—what an amazing manager they are so lucky to have. To James and Sadie, thank you for making our dining experience an absolute treat from beginning to end. You’ve completely changed our opinion, and we will for sure be back!“

“Amazing! The seafood is as fresh as fresh can be. And beyond delicious! The service is wonderful! Worth driving about 20 minutes up the road from Kittery (😉).“

“Was invited to go for lunch. Sat outside by the river😊 Had the prime rib tacos w/veg special and a brew. Our waitress Elle was a delight 🥳 My friend and I Loved our visit and the meal was delicious“

“The Whaler in Old Orchard Beach ⛱ Maine. First let me just say I really like this bar. Its got 3 fish tanks in it. Imagine a bar with fish tanks? There are two billiards 🎱 tables placed in a cool way. They have live music frequently at night. The bar has a whale theme from the pictures, carvings, and overall theme. Its really a cool sight. The bar is the closest to the Amtrak platform in OOB. It makes it my last stop after visiting. This is one of the few Bar locations that is open year round around The Pier in OOB. Its across the street from the platform. I take the train a lot and will be visiting when the tourist season slows down. Its a fun historic place to settle into.“

“The best ice cream we had in Kennebunkport! I received a BOGO free coupon from my visit at The Clam Shack for here so we had to check it out. I had the Moose Track and it was the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. I loved the mini peanut butter cups that were mixed in.“

“I had the bone in Rib-eye medium Well. Came out fast and Perfect!! Extra broccoli and an order of Asparagus. I did order the Candied Hanging Bacon, Had to. The waitress came out and seared it right at the table. I’m for sure coming back!“

“OMG the waitress was incredible! We had a beer flight and she was out of one beer so she gave us a pumpkin spice with sugar and cinnamon on the rim, it was delicious. I had the Maine sampler (lobster roll, clam chowder, fries and blueberry cobbler)and hubby had the fish and chips. Both were delicious and we enjoyed the view of the boats docked while we ate. The waitress never forgot us, she checked to see if we needed anything and told us about local must sees. Well worth the trip.“

“I come specifically to Old Orchard Beach every year just to eat at The Bell Buoy. They serve the best seafood and are very closely located to the pier and beach. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the lobster is a huge selling point. Friendly staff, great food, good service, and a mere walking distance from many of the other attractions. I cannot recommend this place enough, and hope it remains open forever.“

“ordered the whole clam belly basket today...was no bellies. actually looked lime mixture of calamari rings and very thin strips of clams..asked waitresses if I was given clam strips buy mistake she went to ask someone became back and said the calm bellies were just small...ummm... No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“So delicious!! Four of us went, we had the Maine lobster roll, crab roll, burger and fried lobster roll and all were delish!“

“Best homemade clam cakes around!“

“Been going to Wells for years and finally tried Rollover Cafe, it was delicious. The ladies working were super friendly, very chatty and could tell I was new.:) We ordered the meatball subs and as Nonna says, “best meatball subs in town”.“

“Great menu with reasonable prices“
