30 Best American Restaurants near Bristol

“I love Pizza Nite the most!!“

“You have to check out the Anchor! The food is excellent! We had the calamari as an appetizer: delicious! The dipping sauce was a bit sweet for me (I like spicy) but delicious nonetheless. Baked Haddock is awesome! Really fresh and served on top of creamy polenta cakes! Yummy! Excellent wine list! Views to die for! You must check it out!“

“Have been going to Shaws during our many visits to Maine. Their food is top quality fresh seafood! From whole lobsters to lobster rolls you can't go wrong! You can eat inside but the outside tables provide the best views of the New Harbor cove and the lobster boats!! Prices are high, but with today's economy they are in line for fresh seafood! You can pick your live lobster 🦞 and it will be prepared for you with lots of butter and a bib to keep your clothes clean. Today we had the lobster rolls and a couple of beers!“

We had a wonderful evening. Also, our son and daughter in law said they had a fantastic time. Thank you to the great people at NPH for a wonderful evening.“

“This is one of our favorite spots. We go back every trip. The view is A+. Nothing compares to sitting out on the deck, watching the boats while enjoying a drink.

The food is always great. The clam chowder is one of the bests on BBH. The bang bang shrimp and the Caesar with blackened haddock. Everything is fresh and consistently delicious.

What makes it even better is the people. Chloe, Katy and Lily are the BEST and make you feel right at home every single time. They’re a huge part of why we keep coming back.

“The White Clover's warm decor, white table cloths and wall to wall to wall windows granting harbor views, created that atmosphere for a magnificent date night. Nakita was personable, and immediately made you feel that you had her full attention. We started with a specialty cocktails. The Pink vesper was a fun and light. We had lamb chops and beet salad for appetizers. Both were perfectly prepared with the appetizer lamb chops being more than enough to share. The golden beets were such a treat! Mid course of asparagus with feta that was whipped and provided a wonderful pairing. For the main, We had the lobster and halibut succoatash and the lamb shank. Again Chef Kyle outdid himself. Every bite was better than the next. Lastly we shared the key lime tart and then rolled ourselves out of the restaurant! This is not to be missed!“

“We had a great time camping at Boothbay Craft Brewery! Friday Brisket was a delicious meal.Staff and owners are friendly and helpful. Campsite was clean and quiet. We can’t wait to visit again!“

“My wife and I were at the lounge the last 2 nights. Great atmosphere, the bartender was extremely friendly. It was our second trip to Boothbay/Sunset Lounge. Or previous experience was the same. Great place to visit, the Harbor Inn is away from the restaurants, shops and bars, but it is only a footbridge away.

Parking: Stay at the harbor inn, you won't drive again until you are ready to leave. Everything is within walking distance.“

“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.“

“Wonderful lobster roll and setting. The oysters were the best I’ve had! Super friendly staff, such a welcoming place! Highly recommend.“

“You can be promised a waterview and NOT get one. My windows face other structures.“

“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!“

“Classic Maine!! Great location and wonderful food and service!“
