14 Best American Restaurants in Camden

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“We always receive fabulous service with a smile!“

“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.“

“We enjoyed Fresh and Company. It's a nice venue in a location close to the waterfront. I had the Rigatoni Ala Vodka and a broccolini side. I'd give my meal a five out of five. My spouse had the Chicken Schnitzel. She'd give her's a four. The wine prices were quite fair. It was a nice meal. The service was good, but a bit slow. That's OK, we'd rather have some extra time than be rushed. We'd happily return in the future.“

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

“Beautiful healthy food!!!!“

“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.“

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

“We visited Camden in early December, 2025 just as the local holiday festivities were starting. Wonderful area, particularly to experience the magic of the holidays. Lots of fun events and convenient to take day trips to many other wonderful areas of Maine.“

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

“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.“

“Just spent 5 nights here & it was a great stay. Perfect location! Our room was Paris. It was beautiful with lots of pillows and the bed was so comfortable! Would definitely recommend & stay here again!“
