So, so yummy! Great spot

Food is amazing here, from the salads to the sandwiches. Excellent stop on the way to or back from Harpswell. Also worth going out of your way for. The chef/owner, Elyse, is the real deal!

Each summer we have had fantastic salads or sandwiches at this casual place.
Food: Excellent with nice twists that make things unique and tasty. Beet slaw and pickles on a turkey sandwich with toasted rye....one of the best sandwiches I have had in my life. Kale salad with a great vinaigrette and wasabi beans as croutons...so creative. Pretty good beverage choices including beers. Being picky, since it's a 5 start rating...they could present the food, chips, sides...with a bit more appeal. That's being picky though. Not really needed. Plates were nice.
Costs: reasonable
Setting: Indoors or outdoors. Clean and nice.
Service: Very friendly and considerate.
Only complaint: Their web entries for open times, frequently differ from reality. Could improve that 'service'.
We'll go back.....again.

Dined in after a hike in the area. They basically charge you for nicer looking food by using things like Pickled onion and micro greens. However I don’t care for them with my lobster rolls. My husband got the Iris sandwich- too much pickled beets in my opinion. The service is slow and I don’t understand the default tipping when you bus your own table. I don’t recommend.

Great sandwiches!! The Iris is a special fave with its juicy beet slaw. Many great options for vegetarians and omnivores alike.

Iris Eats really captures the soul of Maine with their delicious cozy meals. They had a super dog friendly deck with a view of a marina. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for top tier service and a comforting atmosphere with that real Maine vibe!

This is the sweetest place and everything is so delicious! The tagline is comfy gourmet and that suits Iris perfectly. Eating inside or on the deck is lovely. I live across the country and follow Iris on Instagram but it just makes me hungry 11 months of the year. I recommend if you’re in the Harpswell/Bath/Brunswick area!
