50 Best American Restaurants near Cape Neddick

“Just had an amazing dinner at Walkers Maine in Cape Neddick! Our waitress Brook was fantastic, helping us navigate the delicious menu. We started with complimentary bread & oil, then devoured fried oysters. I enjoyed the short rib kofta with zucchini & German potato salad, while my friend savored the salmon entree. For dessert, we had to try the in-house-made sarsaparilla-glazed donuts & ice cream. Everything was top-notch!“

“My family and I love Cape Neddick Lobster pound. We always have 3-5 children with us everytime we go, the kids love getting their kids meals in a cute boat and at the end of the meal the children can pick a prize out of their treasure chest!!! The high ceilings and large windows make for the best views with Super cozy vibes in the winter! Always super clean, staff is always so nice and very attentive! Every meal we had our food comes out perfectly with 0 complaints! Some of our favorites are the warm pretzels, the mussels, Caesar salad with steak, and my absolute favorite is the seafood pasta! 10/10 !!“

“My husband and I had the best experience tonight! The food was amazing. We started with the tuna appetizer and the cure wedge salad - so good! He had the filet and I had the short ribs - both were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Our server was super attentive and so personable! We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in the area!“

“I work at the Moffatt-Ladd House across the street and have been meaning to come over and experience their menu, as we often have overlapping customers. Our host sat us right away, drinks were fabulous, and all the meals were absolutely amazing! (I had the caribbean grilled swordfish.) My mom had been here with her parents in college in the early 80s and clearly Casey is carrying the mantle well. Thank you especially to our server, Rachel!“

“Gas Light in Portsmouth, NH, offers a lively and inviting atmosphere perfect for enjoying a casual meal or drinks with friends. The exposed brick and wood-fired stone oven create a cozy yet energetic vibe that captures the essence of downtown Portsmouth. I was impressed by the attentive and friendly service, with bartenders who were attentive without being intrusive. The menu features crowd-pleasers like wood-fired pizzas, including their specialty Gaslight pizza, which had a pleasantly crispy crust and flavorful toppings. The chicken wings were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, making them an excellent starter. I enjoyed the warmth and vibrant feel of the pub setting, which also offers live entertainment and a dog-friendly patio—a great spot if you're visiting with pets. Prices felt fair given the generous portions and quality. While some reviews mention occasional kitchen delays or food inconsistencies, my experience was smooth and satisfying. It’s a nice spot to unwind after a day exploring Portsmouth, with good drink options and a welcoming ambiance. I would recommend Gas Light if you’re looking for a lively, local dining experience with solid pub fare and good company. The one downside might be the busier times when service can slow, but overall it’s a dependable choice for casual dining in the neighborhood.“

“This was our first time here since we moved to Maine from NJ and it was excellent. Nance was an excellent waitress and very friendly, and the food was just amazing . The drinks and desserts were to die for . We will be back again.. Get there early before the crowds … More“

“We make reservations for our guests at The Tiller Restaurant frequently as the views and menu are perfect for every romantic get away, highly recommend!“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“Great food and great service. Will definitely visit again if ever down this way!“

“My husband and I stopped in for some breakfast. The food was really good and actually reminded us of home. Staff were very nice and polite and it had a welcoming atmosphere. I would eat here again if we were to ever return to Maine.“

“Went on Sunday. Was a bit nervous because of the varied reviews however, we are so glad we tried it. The iced tea was fresh and strong, my pancakes were big and fluffy loaded with blueberries. The staff was attentive but they do seem a little frazzled. The restaurant is clean and spacious and again the food was great.“

“Delish !! From start to finish everything was fabulous! From the amazing door that you walked through to the woodwork and the brick and the old Portsmouth feel The food was fabulous. It actually made my taste buds dance! If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Staff is top-notch.“

“Great place, from location to food and staff.“

“For you that know me and those who don’t,I speak my mind about any subject whether it’s good or plain sucked !! I have to share this little story with you ,a dismal start to our vacation week, A normal 3 hour drive turned into a five hour one,then I had issues with my oxygen machine,which turned into waiting for a servicemen to come from two hours away.So we are looking at 9 o’clock at night before he would come, now we haven’t eaten since morning and now it’s past 7:30. We knew since Covid hit most eateries are open limited hours, we called Stutesy’s Pub & Grill they said come on down even though they were already shutting down for 8 o’clock. That they will take care of us,not only was Stacie a gracious host her husband cooked us a wonderful meal and even made two more meals to go for our two sons,who were coming laterThey won over our hearts and our taste buds so you’ve got to give Stutesy’s a try for sure!!“

“Went to a Christmas party here, it's beautiful. The staff is very nice and the food was great. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars, my only complaint, we were supposed to have dinner starting at 7, it was 830 before the salad came out and a little after 9 when dinner came.“

“My husband and I just flew in from central Missouri for our anniversary. We stopped at a different restaurant and was not getting helped, so we left. We walked around the corner, saw your place and said why not? Your staff was amazing and welcoming! The ribs and pulled pork, top notch! We enjoyed the staff, food and environment! You got a wonderful place! I just can't say enough great things to say. You are more than welcome to share our experience! Thank you and your staff for the best hospitality!“
