Held a surprise birthday party. Danielle was awesome, helping us get everything together in a short period of time. The staff was attentive and professional and made sure the food was out and hot. They catered to our needs in a timely manner. Food was good and everyone had a great time.

Another great lunch time meal, we also had same server Morgan we do over a month ago, our son Finn (4) remembers federal jacks and wanted to come back for the pb and j with fries! We love the beer and bang bang shrimp!
Finn also remembered Morgan left us Oreos with the bill last time and made an impression! Thank you Morgan and team, a great place to visit when come up from New Hampshire ♥️

It is the off season so place had some locals and tourists but not overly busy. Just stopped to try a beer as didn't realize this was once Shipyard Breweries first spot. Nice view of the harbor area especially with the outdoor seating in the summer. Also has a shop to buy their merchandise and canned beers. They also brew there. Parking is lousy but can see why place draws a crowd. We stop here every time we are in the area. Check it out, worth a visit.

We randomly decided to go back after exactly 6 years. The views are amazing. The atmosphere is great. The waitress was nice but not very attentive . My husband ordered the Tenders with blueberry bbq sauce. Those were very Tasty. His Root Beer had a creamy taste so that was good. My Nachos I ordered I couldn’t eat they were extremely dry, the cheese was hard and stuck to the plate. I wasn’t rude i just couldn’t eat them the waitress was very nice about it and they didn’t charge me. My Mom likes going there during the summer and no complaints about the food.

Stopped in for a bowl of clam chowder with my wife on a brisk Valentine’s afternoon. Not too crowded, abundant wait staff. Had to wait 40 minutes for a cup of chili and bowl of clam chowder and a beer. Chili was rich and good. The chowder was like a bowl of mushy potato soup. Hard to find a clam in the bowl. Terrible clam chowder.

The food was mediocre and over priced in my opinion. I ordered a steak and cheese with french fries. There was more bread then meat. The fries were good. The presentation was very crowded on the plate. I ordered a spicy bloody Mary, most places put Tabasco sauce not at this establishment. Im unsure of what they used but I was unable to drink it even half of the drink because it was to hot. I had to drink an entire glass of water. The customer service did not start off good. I waited approximately ten minutes before even being greeted or sat down at a table. When the staff finally did come over they did not say hell, grabbed the menu and said booth or table very sharply. I attempted to kill them with kindness but they didn’t seem to change their attitude. I would not go there again.

I was told by my brother who visits Kennebunkport often that we had to go to federal jacks for lunch. You have to walk down a small street and when you think you’re going up the steps to the front door that entrance is blocked and the signage wasn’t very clear, but we found stairs on the water side of the building which took us into the restaurant. We were seated right away and had a very nice waitress named Phoebe. I had a turkey BLT (very filling) with a side of macaroni and cheese and a cup of clam chowder (delicious.) My husband had the fish and chips which he said was very good. The day we were, there was very rainy and overcast, but the views from our seat were wonderful.
Another seasonal restaurant that does have proper hours of operation online. Really?

Located in the charming Kennebunkport, this must be a popular dining spot. It was my last day so I wanted to try the 'lobster roll'. Disappointing! The lobster was not succulent or scrumptious. It was cold. Unappetizing. Tasteless. Un-Impressive! But tge fries were good. And the bread was nicely buttered & toasted. I would provide the option to have the lobster roll warm, with a buttery garlic sauce, like scampi, dripping on the lobster meat. And get better lobster meat. It was soggy. The young ladies were efficient & wonderful service Came. Had the lobster roll. And was disappointed. If Fed Jacks want to leave a lasting impression make good food.

We hosted our wedding welcome party here, and it was absolutely perfect! Federal Jacks us to rent out the outdoor deck, which overlooked Dock Square and offered the most beautiful views of downtown Kennebunk, such a stunning setting to kick off our wedding weekend.
Luke was wonderful to work with, he helped us select a great variety of appetizers, and he was so accommodating, even allowing us to bring in our own decor to make the space feel personal and special. The food was delicious, the bar service was spectacular, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the atmosphere.
It was the perfect blend of coastal charm, great food, and warm hospitality and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our wedding celebration!
