12 Best American Restaurants in Kennebunk

“The most magical dinner experience. An absolutely beautiful setting accompanied by an incredible menu. Still thinking about the cherry soufflé.

It is pre-fixe for $175 or $250 per person. Something we didn’t realize before we sat at the table, but it was soooo worth it!“

“The Summer Salad appetizer is a must. Tender greens with fresh cucumbers and mangoes with pecorino. I also recommend the Quattro pizza with fresh burratta. It’s mouthwatering. Be sure to be seated in Mitchell’s section he’s an awesome waiter 😀“

“Cool atmosphere and food was amazing! It was a busy evening but the service was perfect. We recommend and will return!“

“the food, the ambiance, the wait staff.“

“Best breakfast in the Kennebunks! Delicious food, friendly service, bright and welcoming space.“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“Pilot House was delicious! We came here as vacationers, after being turned away from 2 restaurants due to the extreme heat they were unable to stay open. Pilot House was able to take us at their upstairs bar which was gorgeous! The AC was blasting which was a God send. The bartender was very friendly and accommodating despite being super busy! Maybe the best fish tacos I ever had. Also had a great dirty martini and a strawberry lemongrass vodka.“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“Duffy’s Tavern & Grill is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The highlight? The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich—a perfect blend of crispy, juicy chicken with just the right balance of heat and sweetness. It’s absolutely delicious. Great vibes, great food—highly recommend!“

“Food came out quickly. Waitress was efficient. The nachos were really good and the Key Lime Pie dessert martini was delicious. Bathrooms needed cleaning, both men and women's were kind of gross. Women's was super sticky floors and I saw a few bugs on the floor in both bathroom and main dining area.“

“We had a great experience here. The parking can be a little tricky as it is limited. Its metered or you can valet. The metered parking requied a 2hr minimum if i remeber correctly at $9/hr. We went between the lunch and dinner hours on a Sunday so we got lucky and found a metered spot. I didnt know this at the time but this is the original home of Shipyard Brewery, so we got to sample a bunch of local beers. The wife and sister inlaw did flights, and my brother and I did pints. For the food the adults tried the clam chowder, the reuben sandwich and the crab and havatri sandwich. Our 9 year old son sampled the chicken tenders from the kids menu and his brave twin sister tried her first lobster roll (Maine staple right?). We were very pleased with all our selections. My daughter even ate all the lobster, but only took a few bits of the roll, but it was a hit. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the harbor activity. Would certainly recommend this place and would go back again.“

“OMG the waitress was incredible! We had a beer flight and she was out of one beer so she gave us a pumpkin spice with sugar and cinnamon on the rim, it was delicious. I had the Maine sampler (lobster roll, clam chowder, fries and blueberry cobbler)and hubby had the fish and chips. Both were delicious and we enjoyed the view of the boats docked while we ate. The waitress never forgot us, she checked to see if we needed anything and told us about local must sees. Well worth the trip.“
