Linda Bean’s Maine Kitchen & Topside Tavern

Came here for dinner in group of 4. Our focus is on lobster dishes as we are in Maine. The lobster bisque is good; for main we had lazy lobster dish, it’s also pretty well cooked and presented. The let down is on the desert, we had pumpkin pie to share, as it’s October 31; for a small piece of serving we can’t finish it.
All in all, this is a nice place for meal for a taste of Maine lobster plated in good presentation.

Purchased the scallop dinner. I wanted to substitute my french fries for coleslaw but was denied. Instead, I got a heap of french fries and a little tartar sauce container of coleslaw. The scallops were extremely small so if you want a good scallop dinner, I suggest you go to a frozen food section in your local supermarket because they’re probably gonna be much better than this place.

the lobster rangoon dip was AMAZING! the service was excellent!

Family of 4 visited Linda Bean's Maine Kitchen and Topside Tavern this past Saturday - sat outside by the fire pit. My husband got a burger and said it was OK. My father and law got tenders that seemed to have been on the extra crispy side. My mother-in-law got the bowl of chowder and loved it. I got the lobster BLT - it was delicious; however, I would have assumed the lobster to be warm, but it was cold.

We stopped here for the lobster rolls. We were not disappointed by the meal. The lobster was delicious, so were the homemade chips and the sweet potato fries.

Driving through town as we were heading up North to Bar Harbor for vacation and needed some refueling — snagged a shareable Lobster “Colossal” Roll that really satisfied the palate! Lots of lobster meat with well-crisped potato chips to balance all the flavors!

They were short-staffed at the time for lunch, so had to walk up to the bar to request our bill and pay for it then — other than that, it was a great place to grab a bite before hitting the road!

We came to town late. We did not realize that the restaurants all close early. We came in at 7:30 pm and our waitress was so nice and understanding. We had a great meal and enjoyed it very much.

Not the first time I had Lobster, but the first I was disappointed, I will give credit though the seafood platter and the Lobster stew went down well and was loved, but the Hot Lobster roll was a bit of a disappointment, should of gotten the cold with the spice and herbs , was a learning experience for me and the staff I admit. However we did get on the outside patio and we did feel like we where forgotten about for around 20ish minutes , I'd recommend staying inside so your remembered
