“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“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!“

“We are hear visiting Kennebunkport and was recommended by someone we met on our beach walk. We had a 5 star lunch. Smash burger awesome and fish taco delicious
Nice friendly service. Beautiful atmosphere with there new renovations. Don’t miss a chance to have lunch here.“

“Always the best food and customer service in town. We have been going to 50 local for years, it continues to be a family favorite. Have to share because it made such a hard evening just a little easier. A few weeks ago we lost our dog Scout very tragically. I called in an order to go and whn I went in to pick it up the hostess immediately knew something was wrong. She asked if I was alright and I instantly broke down.. I told her what had just happened. She then proceeded to give me two desserts, gave me a big hug and, told me they were on the house. It wasn’t about the desserts (they were fantastic as always) it was more the kindness, support and, sympathy that she showed us that evening. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate you all so much.“

“I had the bone in Rib-eye medium Well. Came out fast and Perfect!! Extra broccoli and an order of Asparagus. I did order the Candied Hanging Bacon, Had to. The waitress came out and seared it right at the table. I’m for sure coming back!“

“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!“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“The food was great! People were friendly. Atmosphere comfy. I was so excited to see both gluten free and vegan options on the menu!! We had the BBQ for 2 with pinto beans, cashew queso with chips and collard greens (originally to get in a green veggie but wow, delicious!) The Diablo barbecue sauce, although not as spicy as the name would imply was outstanding! We will definitely be back.“

“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!!“

“I have going to Lucky loggers for 30+ years . They have the Friendliest waitresses in town along with the best breakfast in town.“

“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.“

“The two foh severs we had were amazing. A tell gentlemen and a blond lady with glasses. Very intentive and engaging. Food was absolutely delicious, exactly how we ordered it. The parm fries were so yummy and filling. Took most of our dinner home for lunch tomorrow.“

“A step back in time. Great people and service.“

“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.“
