Restaurants near Bailey Island

“The best food and the nicest staff! Their fried fish sandwich in particular is phenomenal but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, including their pie made from scratch. Also a big fan of the salt and vinny fries with their Old Bay aioli.”

“Outdoor patio is not enclosed (but there are heaters). Not sure why they would allow reservations on a night when the temp in the single digits. They were able to get us a table inside within 10 minutes. Beer is good if you like bitter, hoppy beer (I don’t). Our pizza was great and we also ordered a pretzel. Service was fine. Would come back for the pizza. Salads looked good”

“An absolute gem. Delicious and incredibly friendly service. Even our picky toddlers loved it and were welcomed with stickers and coloring. I could eat the avocado toast for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Divine!”

“Friendly town Great people Very clean”

“We timed our visit right and it happened to be Polish weekend. We enjoyed several well thought out themed plates and washed them down with a Grodziskie. Can't recommend this place more. Their IPAs absolutely rip and their Minimum series is the best low ABV hops you'll find anywhere.”

“Their Tea Bar will make you anything in the store! They are extremely knowledgeable and the tea is amazing. Their cooking spices are great too! Their premade spice kita are perfect if you want to change up your usual routine. Love, Love, Love this store!”

“I recently had one of the lobster rolls. Fabulous!! One of the best lobster rolls I had in the entire state, worthy of a five star rating. The roll was grilled and filled with a good amount of meat. Great job Pammy... I will be back for another one next summer.”

“The bakeshop is my favorite place to eat! They have amazing homemade pastry’s and desserts. They also have Such a welcoming environment and in the summer they have bands come play on there patio!!!”

“I wish I lived closer ....or maybe I don't because id be packing on the pounds visiting this shop often :) the owners were incredibly friendly and the coffee and breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. One morning I grabbed a blueberry muffin and I've been craving it ever since”

“This place is so good! I’m here on a vacation and stumbled upon it. Their phone wasn’t working so we drove there and I’m so glad we did! I got a vegan taro tea and green curry with tofu. It was amazing and super delicious. I like my curries to be spicy, and this one was pretty mild (which it explained on the menu). Glad I tried it! Also the waiter was great and so friendly. He was super helpful and they were able to accommodate all my needs! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-13”

“Isabella”s Cafe is easily overlooked but what a gem when you discover them! I don’t know how long they have been here but I’m sorry I didn’t find them sooner. Simple and tasty food served up with a warm smile!”

“Where to begin as there are so many wonderful things to share! We were greeted by an absolutely top notch host. Our server was very professional and on point. The food was extremely delicious. The mussels in the hard cider broth were delicious. The broth should be bottled and sold! The salmon everything was carefully cooked to a perfect temperature. The everything crust was so creative. I could go on but suggest you make a reservation and experience it yourself.”

“A local delicacy. Been making the same great food for years. Always fast and friendly. And anytime you have an issue, they’re quick to fix the issue. Will always be a local favorite.”

“we love Buck's Naked BBQ in Freeport, Maine, and the city of Gardiner is very excited to welcome you! We need your fabulous food and friendly atmosphere. And we miss not having our favorite Trivia night each week that many came to enjoy at the former Blind Pig. Hoping we can get that back. It sure brings a crowd of hungry folks during the mid-week. Welcome, welcome, welcome...Gardiner is lucky.”

“Good food, good service. Would definitely go back.”

“Best fresh oysters ever! Can’t wait to come back”

“The sun spotting lager was phenomenal. Plus, awesome staff and the food…first rate. **** highly recommend.”

“I went with some friends on New Year’s Eve. The food was excellent, the owner warm and friendly. Ringing in the New Year while singing karaoke and eating exceptional food was just perfection. 🙂”

“Tried Li’s Place before shopping at L L Bean. Thought we could dine inside but it is curbside only. Decided to order anyway and parked to eat in front of LL Bean’s gorgeous holiday lights. Ordered a pu pu platter for 2, orange chicken & an order of dumplings. All were fantastic. Light batter on fried items & tasty moist meats. (My husband is raving about how good the spare ribs were) Would prefer more crab & less cream cheese in the crab rangoon. Only thing to note is ask for salt if you like a little more flavor and if you are a weirdo like me and like ketchup with the fried chicken fingers, they don’t have it. 😀 All reheated really well next day!”

“Phenomenal service and food! We were 10 of us, wet, soggy, and starving after breaking camp in the rain! So delicious and the staff friendly!”

“Hailey was a dream vendor to work with for our wedding! Our wedding cake and cupcakes were absolutely to die for, and they were just as tasty as they were gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and try the maple cake and maple buttercream 🍁 Hailey also went above and beyond just delivery because she designed and set out the entire dessert table (florals and all!). I was of course busy getting ready when this was all happening, so when I finally saw the dessert table I was blown away! Everything was so perfect and I cannot recommend Hailey enough for your upcoming celebrations!”

“I found this place on accident and I can not rave enough about the sweet staff we encountered and the atmosphere inside is amazing. Just a wonderful peaceful vibe with good drinks 🖤 will be visiting again before I go home!”
