Restaurants in Camden

“Warm and welcoming, and Red knows her stuff. Wish we lived closer so we could drop in easily.”

“Great service. Thank you Sarah! The food was outstanding. Biscuits, blueberry pancake, bacon, maple latte. Everything was perfect. Love the feel of the interior. Highly recommend.”

“We are frequent diners at Franny's. The menu is great and the specials are always innovative and delicious. I had the char and it was amazing. I will be thinking about that dish for a long time. The server's are always knowledgeable and prompt. My lady gala cocktail is my favorite. We love the dumplings and spring rolls and always share those. Looking forward to our next meal at Franny's never disappoints.”

“Feel free to read the full review below, but If you’re terse, the scoop is that Winona’s is quaint, exceptionally unique in its excellence, and is a must stop.

While on a waitlist at a bustling nearby establishment, my wife and I decided to take a walk. Our goal: a quick snack and beverage while we wait for our spot at the bar.

A few steps away from our original plan, we walked past Winona’s, an unassuming but inviting front, and put our eyes on the menu posted in the window. It was compact, but refreshingly uncomplicated and clear. When our attention drifted from the menu through the glass into the interior, we caught the attention of an older couple who emphatically waved us in with thumbs up and smiles. How could we not stop in..

We were greeted with nothing short of exceptional hospitality, and found a spot at one of their limited tables by the windows. We mentioned we were just in for a quick drink and snack, and the response was nothing short of miraculous. We felt we received the same service and hospitality as if we were the most important guests of the night(which I assure you, we were not).

My wife and I were traveling from Montana, and I begrudgingly consider ourselves “foodies,” but we admittedly each know our way around a kitchen and bar. She got a glass of white, and I got a beet root beer, I think “Helleflower”. Great.

We ordered what I can only remember was titled “Scallop Crudo”. As i’m writing this review from memory a month after my visit. Which, if anything, should attest to how compelled I was to write this, and how great my experience was..

The dish was fresh. The scallops sliced thin, sitting in a perfect acidic Leche De Tigre, with sweet cut apple, tobiko, and bitter greens. I likely missed a few small details..My point is that our “snack” was rich, balanced, light, filling, refreshing, and unique. My only regret? Leaving this place for a nearby establishment.

I told the proprietors they should be proud of what they built and are putting out into the word. I meant it.

“I honestly can't understand why this gem isn't getting more attention. We have eaten there three times, and each time, the food has been out of this world. It's shocking that such a small, unassuming place knocks it out of the park in terms of bread (every single bread on the menu is FANTASTIC--last time we went, our table got one of each!), entrees, drinks AND baked desserts. If you want a stellar meal in a low-key atmosphere, you must go to Albatross. I sort of don't want the secret to get out, because I want to always be able to get a table, but this place should be packed every day.”

“Could someone help me find the 6 star review function to make up for the 1 star oral flatulence provided by Morty Mc Douchbaggery… Don’t mean to stoop to such levels, but seriously - every aspect of Lucky Betty’s is a stroke of creative genius. Constructively speaking I wish LB was open more often since I travel a lot and get LB FOMO!”

“The bagel and cream cheese assortment is great. Amazing Greek salad. Horrible location, the previous space was bigger. The new Main Street location is awful. There is no room to even wait for the bagels. IF you decide to sit down you end up being crowded by the line waiting to order. Parking was easier at the previous location as well. Please move somewhere better! 🥰”

“We always receive fabulous service with a smile!”

“Extraordinary and unlike any other restaurant in Maine. We found the establishment on our Michelin Guide portal, pretty much the only place recommended by Michelin in Maine. We enjoyed the lobster tasting, beautiful dishes of Maine lobster combined with south East Asian flavors. Service was attentive and knowledgeable .”

“I had the Haddock melt, very good would like to know where you get you haddock for the sandwiches? Excellent, hope to get back before we leave for Arizona.”

“Friendly, and relatively quick service. Calzone and pizza were much better than anticipated. I'll definitely visit this place again.
It's a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping district in Camden on a side street with a few ships. Much easier to get a seat right away than the places on the main street”

“Beautiful healthy food!!!!”

“The hush puppies are killer! Service is always spot in and the food is delicious 😋”

“I loved this restaurant so much that I ate here 2 of my 4 nights in Camden. They have such a wonderful menu that changes often. I ate outside each of my 2 times. They have a global menu that was very appealing including dishes from Brazil and Africa. The Spitzers were very refreshing. On my first visit I had the Marcequa (spelling) which was basically a stew with Haddock, shrimp and mussels in a coconut lime broth with jasmine rice and tomatoes. I loved it so much I went back another night. The whole menu looks great. The service was excellent. The only issue that I had was that my dish was priced on the menu as $35 but rang up as $38. When I pointed it out, they said that the menu changes (but the price??) and he didn’t offer to get the manager or anything. It still was great and if ever in the area, I’d go back!!
Things to note- Prices vary between menu and receipt. Bread and butter costs $4. The spritzers and the food are excellent!! Service very attentive!”

“Excellent food in a beautiful location. The top notch attentive staff make you feel welcome. We eat at Salt Wharf almost weekly. By far, the best in the area.”

“Megan produced one the most delicious and beautiful birthday cakes we have seen had anywhere… and we own a pastry shop at our restaurant!”

“Great coffee, tasty pastries/baked goods, and an amazing staff! Highly recommend!”

“Great ice cream and the girls working there were awesome very friendly”

“Hidden gem along Maine Coast. Food is amazing with Chef Katherine from Buck’s Restaurant joining the team.”

“Food typical subway. Staff helpful and respectful. But we were not sure how to get my elderly mother up the steep from steps. She was determined and we did help her up with some trepidation, only to find out that around the back door is a place to walk out with a ramp. But this safer place wasn’t at first obvious to us as an option. I don’t believe there was a sign directing handicapped persons into another entrance that wasn’t seen from the main entrance. In the end we drove around back to pick her up. But if we hadn’t seen someone go out that back door mom planned to try to go back down the steep stairs. I had to stop her

In retrospect when we didn’t see a safe way inside we should’ve left and not attempted fate. Fortunately no one was injured. They need to find a better location or make it more obvious a safer place to enter and exit. It’s a huge risk and liability for Subway.”

“Had the most awesome Maine mussels in a
Lovely spicy broth followed by a delicious and super flavorful green curry with local chicken. Oh, the desserts were spectacular too! Sorry, I destroyed mussels and curry and we demolished the desserts too before I could get pictures!”

“The fried haddock sandwich we had here may have been the best meal we had in Maine, and that's saying a lot because we had a lot of fantastic seafood while in Maine. If you're thinking this sandwich is anything like any other fried fish sandwich you've had, you would be wrong. It's impossible to overstate how wonderful it was. And the views from our table on the deck? Some of the best anywhere! The only negative part of the experience was the very long wait. We didn't get there until almost 2 pm and still had to wait 45 minutes on a table. Then, the amount of time it took for our food to come out was also quite long. This lunch took up more of our afternoon than we had planned, which was unfortunate because we were only in Camden for a day. Nonetheless, it was still a highly memorable meal, and I would definitely go back again the next time we're in Maine.”

“We had a harbor cruise scheduled and arrived early to beat the traffic. On our way to the harbor we passed this deli and looked in. Saw the baked goods and that was it. I'm pretty particular to the calories I consume, but couldn't resist the peanut butter cup brownie and coffee latte - both of which I've never had. YUM! We sat inside to watch the water for nearly an hour. After the tour and walking the town we were nearly to our car and decided to go back for a sandwich to take home for dinner. Best retracing of steps ever! The sandwich was very tasty and there was enough for a second dinner the next night.”

“Amazing lobster rolls and stew!!! Great service and healthy pours! I apologize as my husband knocked over the whole tub of silverware coming into the place but thanks for the laughs!!!”

“This place is awesome At least once or twice a month especially in the winter my wife and I drive 1.5 hours each way the food is so good. We purposely over order so we have left overs. The staff is friendly and attentive. The decor is fabulous. We are from Boston originally and this restaurant is as good as any in the Boston area.”

“First time dining here and it won’t be my last. Delicious food. I love the menu choices. Tasty drinks. Excellent wait staff. Didn’t wait too long for our food after ordering. Restrooms available. Seating available for indoors and outdoors. Nice comfortable chill atmosphere.”
