“Amazing fresh food and friendly staff!! Our new favorite spot!“

“We had a delicious Reuben sandwich here. The staff was awesome. Indoor and outdoor seating.“

“we make it a point to stop at this restaurant every year when we visit Maine. We learned this year that in November 2023 they had a fire at the restaurant. Since then the restaurant has been renovated, including a new head chef and a new name “Harpswell Schoolhouse”. Most of the staff is the same, professional and extremely detail oriented. The food was fabulous, excelling the great dishes of years past. The service is in the European style, that is to say it is not hurried. We highly recommend this upscale restaurant, it’s a gem!“

“My grad school friends and I are in town for a reunion and they were all raving about the $20 lobster rolls having gone to multiple other places for lobster around Harpswell. Unanimously they seemed to agree on the lobster rolls and clam cakes.I decided to get the chicken tender basket. Overall, the price is a bit steep for 3-4 chicken tenders and some fries at $15 (I added a can of Pepsi ($2) and upgraded the regular fries to sweet potato fries ($1) so my total ended up being $18 for what in most places is like $10. Still, the chicken was tender and the fries weren’t bad. I did order the honey mustard to dip the chicken in but it tasted less like honey mustard and more like honey mustard.Overall it was decent, just a bit pricy. It is a shack on the side of the road with approximately 4-5 picnic tables for seating and I believe no bathrooms although I’m not sure since I didn’t have to use one.

Parking: There’s a very small section of land dedicated to parking, but it’s just a roadside shack so it has limited parking.“

“Followed a recommendation and so glad we did. It was extremely hard to choose from all the baked goods and sandwiches. The avocado toast panini, roasted brussels with bacon, and peanut butter chocolate cupcake made the final cut and they were awesome!“
