Restaurants in Boothbay Harbor

“In my opinion this was the best meal we have had on our trip so far. Service was great, food was outstanding, and the wine was a great sip I'd never had before. If you like Italian food this is a must.”

“highly recommend the Thistle inn for meal and drinks, lovely people, good chat, excellent service”

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

“Our 1st go to place when we come there. ( twice a year ). Food is so good and the people are great. See you next week. I have your sticker on my truck and people here in Maryland ask me about it often.🌭”

“Amazing treats right on the end of the footbridge. Always worth stopping by to see the tater creations.”

“Kelly's has the best breakfast in Boothbay! You won't be disappointed. We recommend it 300%. Food is great and the staff is wonderful. Have never had a bad meal there.”

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

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

“Make sure you have a reservation during the season for the best views. Even if you don’t, they work hard to accommodate you. Be sure to ask for Susan! She has great recommendations, service, and personality.”

“Harborside 1901 is where craft and comfort meet the shoreline. 🍸✨ The modern mixology is nothing short of inspired — each glass a little journey of flavor and artistry. The staff welcome you not just as guests but as friends, creating an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and wonderfully interactive. Plates arrive as both nourishment and celebration, with food that delights at every bite. And the finale — world-class pastries and desserts — lingers like a sweet memory you’ll want to return to again and again. (We sure did!!)A true gem where culinary creativity and heartfelt hospitality shine. 🌊🍷🍰”

“I had breakfast on the deck everyday of my trip! Service was friendly and great. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was a perfect was to start the day!”

“The server Wed night was exceptional. And dinner was super!
Thursday night the servers seemed stressed ad fighting for who had our table - our dinner order got taken twice, ad when we told the First server Another had come and taken our order again, well...
Hopefully they worked it out.

The Oysters were top notch clean, fresh!
The Crabcakes, absolutely delicious.
The Grilled Vegetable Sandwich was satisfying and so very tasty, and the salty stag Asian Salmon is our fave meal in town!”

“Excellent fresh food. We have eat the Lobster Rool Trio. So tasty!”

“Baker's Way is a local favorite! This place has solid breakfast sandwiches (the owner always recommends egg cheese bacon or sausage on a croissant!), apple fritters, & cinnamon rolls. Prices are reasonable. The owner is very kind. Sometimes they give you extra goodies before closing the store for the day :P Can't recommend this place enough.”

“Our group of six enjoyed most of the food. Unfortunately a very loud group of 6 REALLY enjoying their alcohol seated nearby made the atmosphere of the restaurant with a talented musician unpleasant. We moved outside to the deck and that was much more pleasant even though the table for four was crowded. My salad came with sliced oranges with the peel attached (curious) but once I removed the peel it was delicious. My husband’s Caesar salad was outstanding. We shared Tikka Masala and the chef kindly served it in two portions. Those who got the double burger were very satisfied. Unfortunately the scallop main dish was the size of an appetizer and lacked a generous side ($33). We enjoyed the waiter and waitress who were very attentive. We will be back, hoping to avoid rude people who act as if they are dining at home.”

“Fantastic espresso and European milk shakes! Our tradition became getting my daily hit of caffeine and my quad espresso never let me down! It was smooth and just a hint of bitterness that I adore! Highly recommend!!”

“The Best coffee in Boothbay. A consistant great cup of coffee every time.”

“Traveling for bakeries is my hobby 😂 and Farm 23 did not disappoint! Everything I tried from here was absolutely delicious, but the mint chocolate tiramisu was out of this world!”

“Excellent Maine lobsters at an affordable price in an amazing setting in the harbor.”

“They had a lot of ice cream flavors. It was really good.”

“Just had one of the best meals- peach and goat cheese salad with blueberry vinaigrette dressing and bang bang shrimp. And the hostess gave me some dressing to take home! Thanks for a wonderful experience (as usual 😉) Kaler's.”

“Our favorite spot in BBH. Amazing food, drinks and staff! Location is cozy and we love to play a game of cribbage while we wait for our meal. 10/10 all day.”

“They had a lot of ice cream flavors. It was really good.”

“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.”

“Interesting place for breakfast/brunch mostly. Closes at 1pm. Only dish they could make vegan was the veggie mishmash (minus eggs or cheese). Was tasty. Comes with a side of toast. Would appreciate if they had more options for plant-based diets but thats the same as most restaurants in the area.”
