“Wow. What a find Lil’s Cafe was! Our family stopped in Kittery for the night while heading to Acadia. I love finding unique coffee spots and Lil’s was so much more than I expected! Seeing the pastries and hearing all the recommendations from the locals, we knew we had to get more than coffee. The crullers and almond croissant were out of this world! Melt in your mouth deliciousness. I’m looking forward to another visit to Kittery just to go to Lil’s. 😊”

“We had the Tuna/yellow rice/black beans with garlic cream, pork, yellow rice, black beans with the bbq and a side of sweet fries. Everything was delicious, the pork broke apart with just a plastic spork. Rice was well cooked and seasoned. Sheet fries were a great sharing size and delicious, not too heavy and well salted. We look forward to coming back.”

“Very delicious and convenient located. The staff were very friendly and the food tasted very fresh!”

“Went on Sunday. Was a bit nervous because of the varied reviews however, we are so glad we tried it. The iced tea was fresh and strong, my pancakes were big and fluffy loaded with blueberries. The staff was attentive but they do seem a little frazzled. The restaurant is clean and spacious and again the food was great.”

“This was our first time here since we moved to Maine from NJ and it was excellent. Nance was an excellent waitress and very friendly, and the food was just amazing . The drinks and desserts were to die for . We will be back again.. Get there early before the crowds … More”

“Great coffee and lots of breakfast options!”

“We love their beer and staff. The space is welcoming. there's a baby changing table in the first bathroom no highchairs but they also only have snacks. Live music on the weekends But we also hosted our one year olds first birthday party here! We had about 40 people. Galen and Danielle (I did no catch the other bartenders name) were amazing and so so welcoming!! Definitely reach out if you want to host an event here! They have a huge parking lot, beer, cider, wine, and na options. 10/10”

“We tried the Grandma Pizza today. It was absolutely the BEST pizza we have had in years! SO GOOOOD!!! :) :) :)”

“Wonderful old-school, Old-Maine place - "Lobsters in the Rough" like we used to have. Ambience - totally relaxed, right on the water. Food - Menu has good variety, the lobsters come in daily, cooked just right. The view across the river to Portsmouth is like no other, plus the river traffic and bridge openings, lobster boats, big ships, tugs, you name it. River breezes tend to keep things a little cooler. I'll be back.”

“fantastic place! awesome food, great service, no pretensions, inexpensive to boot. This is the place!”

“great food at reasonable prices. excellent service.”

“Came from out of state with the wife and no kids for a long weekend. We specifically were looking for a dive bar. Navy yard was recommend by our hotel check in girl. She said “I don’t know why anyone would go there”. So we went. And we were disappointed. It wasn’t a dive bar at all. The pool tables were in good shape the staff was super nice and the patrons were very friendly. I will come here again next year when we visit again.”

“Freshly baked breads of many various unique flavors available. Outside picnic tables along with ample parking. Very friendly staff. Bread sampling is occasionally available.”

“Great spot to grab a app and a drink or to sit down and have a great dinner!!”

“Visiting from San Diego.
This place is great. Beers are on point. One of the cleanest, Scottish style red ales I've ever had. IPAs were fantastic. Service was outstanding.

Stop here for some suds. You'll be glad you did.”

“Thoughtful service, satisfying wine choices, and very good pasta dishes. We enjoyed it very much”

“Great Place!! Very good food!!”

“I love this place! I come here everything I in Portsmouth to visit my family, and I always make the quick trip to Maine to get this. The SOB bagel Sandwich is my favorite if you are a more savory/spicy breakfast person like myself.”

“Friendly staff and lobster rolls were awesome.”

“Chauncey Creek is always excellent. Now that I live outside the US, I make sure to schedule my visits during the open season. The food (steamers and lobsters) was perfectly prepared and delicious. Even the sides (coleslaw, corn on the cob and onion rings) were amazing. The setting on Chauncey Creek, with a view toward Portsmouth Harbor really adds to to the ambience. And the stars are all super welcoming, efficient and friendly. This is our go-to destination for exceptional seafood in a classic, rustic setting.”

“great location, great views but wasn't impressed with the food. I had a 3 ounce lobster roll for $20+, they wanted $55 for a 6 ounce.😱 there was more roll then lobster and the roll was over toasted. The Cole slaw was right out of a bag and blah. The only good part was the blueberry margarita, but I think I overheard the employee say it was only 5%. They didn't offer whole lobster.🫤 Go for the view, maybe order a burger or hot dog.”

“I have been eating there for years. I went the other night because I was craving scallops. I got my usual scallops and tried to substitute o-rings for fries. The girl told me it wasn't allowed. No substitutions. I was willing to pay for the upgrade. No go. I live in the area and there are a lot of other options which I'll be trying.”

“Until I moved here never heard of Aroma Joe's learned they are plentiful in Maine and their products are great but its their staff that makes it. Those folks are amazing and if you have never experienced the making of specialty drinks it is an art that requires patience and attention to detail in a fairly speedy manner and the young lady that waited on me is the perfect person for the job. She was EXCEPTIONAL. I will update this post to reflect her name she deserves a million 5 star reviews.”

“Amazing food and great staff!!”

“Absolutely wonderful. My only regret was not stopping in sooner on our 5 day trip as we are from away. Little to no Sugar Free options where we live so this place blew my mind. It eill be my new drink stop whenever I am in Maine.The Drinks were delicious and the staff was so friendly we even made a special trip out the morning we left just get drinks and say "Bye for now." Can't wait to return.”

“☀️🥯 Pro tip for the perfect summer morning: grab your to-go order from **Henry’s Bagel & Deli** in Kittery, then head straight to the beach.

Today’s choice: an *everything bagel* stacked with veggie cream cheese, egg, spinach, and tomato. Honestly, it’s so good you won’t even notice if a few grains of sand sneak into the mix.

Picture it: warm sun, salty breeze, toes in the sand, cold brew in hand… and the best bagel bite of your life. 🌊

Live like a tourist in your own backyard — snag your bagel + brew from Henry’s and claim your spot on your favorite stretch of sand. Priceless. 🏖️”

“great variety of food and specialty tacos. we were in Maine so I had to try the Blueberry infused margarita..I wasn't disappointed 😋”
