Restaurants near Boothbay

“The midcoast is a bit of a pizza desert. Look no further to finally get satiated. To quote Leia: “Help me, Vera; you're my only hope.”

Crust is top tier, roni cupped perfectly. No complaints!”

“The food is excellent at a fair price! The menu has a lot of good options.”

“what a great day spent golfing and eating ice cream.”

“It’s cozy and the food is really good!”

“This is the perfect restaurant for a romantic dinner, superb food, and excellent service. Also have enjoyed the best filet I've ever had in my life. I don't eat steak often, so when I do, it makes sense to get the best, and Paul's definitely serves it. Pair it with some great wines, and a lovely evening is enjoyed by all. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!”

“I really liked the food. It was great. The service was great, but it had no restroom or seating. I would recommend spinach wrap with chicken, bacon, and cheddar cheese.”

“We make this place an annual destination when we come to Boothbay for gardens algow. It is a highlight of our year. The quality of the food is outstanding. If you love authentic Italian food you wont be disappointed.”

“Had a great meal there. I understand that they renovated the dining room recently. It looks great but the star was the food. Live music in the pub Friday nights.”

“By far our favorite restaurant in the Midcoast area. Always delicious food and great service. If you need gluten free options this is the place.”

“Lobster, clam, corn, potatoes are so good. Beautiful sights!”

“The vibe here is welcoming, real, and genuine. The food and drinks are top notch along with the service. And it all begins with the owners, Zoli and Sarah, who are kind and honest as the day is long. We can’t speak highly enough of them, their crew and this establishment. We will come by every time we are in the area.”

“Great sandwiches! You won’t be disappointed with this shop. We ordered the Harvest Turkey and Pit Boss.”

“Great food and better help!”

“It is a classic must stop for seafood on the harbor and make sure to snap a photo with Captain Brown before you leave.”

“Let me put the cart before the horse and tell you this was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I have had at a restaurant. Corrinna was lovely. She took time to explain to this uninitiated wine consumer the differences between wines, glasses, and tasting, as well as pairing with foods. Speaking of food, this was also splendid. We started with oysters, which was a first, calamari, pork belly, arancini, and focaccia that melted in your mouth. My main course was the Swordfish with sweet potato puree, fingerling, and swordfish "bacon" jam. This is a silent gem that I selfishly stays quiet for my purposes, but Back River Bistro needs to be visited by anyone who loves a small curated dining experience. Much success to Matt & Corrinna. It is much deserved.”

“What an amazing hidden spot! Wish we had found this years ago! We come here once a year on vacation. Pepper is a wonderful conversationalist, and so friendly! Every beer we tried was excellent, and the food was amazing. We took some beer to go as well!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We are from upstate New York. ~Rob and Janet Dandrow”

“fantastic place! the beer and service is very outstanding! Mya was our server! she's very professional, friendly and was helpful in helping us decide what we should try! thanks so much! I highly recommend to stop and try this business out! beautifully decorated as well!”

“We had the best experience at the bar with AK. He was fantastic- super friendly, gave great food suggestions that turned out amazing! Would go back again and again!!”

“This place was incredible. The moment I walked in, the smell of Vietnamese broth hugged me. The people working were “grandma style kitchen” it was nostalgic to me as a Venezuelan. My kids ate the pot stickers from the starters and broth, I ordered Pho and it was plenty! The service was like being at your grandma’s house when wanting to give you more and more food as a message of love! Will definitely be coming back! Coffee and Thai Ice Tea were like I remembered when I was in South East Asia too.”

“I love Pizza Nite the most!!”

“A local bartender recommended this coffee shop for a quick breakfast and it did not disappoint. Had a delicious pistachio latte and a maple snail, arguably the best pastry I’ve ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could stop by regularly!”

“My wife and I have been searching high and low for a top-shelf dining experience in Maine since we arrived. Today, we drove 2-1/2 hours from Bar Harbor to Wiscasset to eat at “In a Silent Way.” It exceeded all expectations. James Beard-level food and wine. From the oysters to the steak tartare and raspberry panna cotta, everything was magnificent. Well worth the drive. Confident sharing, In a Silent Way, is the most elevated food in Maine. And lovely service as well. Gushing.”

“The wait was an hour. But it was well WORTH the time. They don’t measure or weigh the lobster. They just load it up. I had leftovers. I have a healthy appetite but I couldn’t finish it all. I opted to not even eat the majority of the roll. It was tasty with the awesome warm butter that is served with it. This was my first visit but not my last. Awesome hard working folks.”

“Ive been driving by for 4 years and finally saw they were open. One reviews mentioned cash only so I brought cash. Ordering via phone after I placed my order the man said see you in 20 minutes, cash only. I said okay. It sounded a little rude but that's okay. When I got there the guy was super friendly and older and so I let him keep the change from my $20 for the $15 large sausage pizza. It felt on the lighter side because it's very thin pizza. It was okay pizza for Maine but not good enough for me to order again. Very nice people though and I don't think their pricing is too expensive. I just didn't think it was super great and my Dad agreed when he tried a slice.”

“My husband, his friend and I had a fantastic dinner 4 nights ago ... Highly recommended by another friend and we were not disappointed.....the food /service was exceptional...halibut bouillabaisse was superb...I even drank the broth...I didn't care who saw me ..husband and his friend had risotto....all was scraped down to the bottom of the dish Waitress was a 20 out of 10... knowledgeable about menu..also she was bartender..drink was great Dessert was a blueberry cheese cake .melted in your mouth This was our 1st time and won't be our last The chef Karin has such a skill with food .so impressed! If you all want an exceptional meal go to the Boathouse...you won't be disappointed! The place isn't fancy..boaty decor...who cares....the food makes up for it!”

“The food is delicious and of course the venue is fantastic! Everyone in the kitchen is so friendly and helpful even when it’s crazy busy and it must be really hot inside that kitchen!”

“Always great food and big portions! Wait staff is great too!”

“You can't beat the view here. Our waitress was nice. The food was just so so. Lobster gumbo was decent. The crab cakes were ok. The brussel sprouts appy was not good - deep fried / oily and very salty.”

“This is our go-to local restaurant, and has been for a long time. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are great. I can't recommend it enough!”

“Excellent breakfast . Friendly staff. Cash or check only but ATM available”
