5 Best Burger Restaurants near Perry

“Finding a good seafood restaurant between Machias & Calais is surprisingly difficult.Lubec & Eastport have a couple but they range from downright awful to just ok.The New Friendly Restaurant is excellent.I had the fish chowder & battered fried clams.My husband had the batter fried scallops.I’ll start with the chowder. I come from a long line of ME cooks.I grew up eating & making chowder & arguing about the best way to make chowder. I’m very fussy about my chowder 😂 The chowder I ate here was perfect. Nothing but milk, fish, potato & seasoning.The fish was fresh & in large pieces like it should be & the potatoes were well cooked & not mushy. My clams had a lovely fluffy batter-full belly of course.And my husband’s scallops were huge and very fresh.The prices were quite reasonable for the amount of food we received.I’m in the area for another couple of days and will likely go back-it’s that good. Highly recommend, especially the chowder!“

“Fantastic staff! Super friendly! Huge menu with tons of deliciousness to choose from! Great location in Lubec!! I would highly recommend this hidden gem!!!“

“This place is the Downeast version of Cheers except better. Laid back, welcoming, good conversation, amazing food. Don’t expect to leave without striking up some conversations with complete strangers and perhaps making some new friends and you’ll be sorry if you skip dessert!“

“The best pizza we have ever had!“

“Great experience at Char & Chowder this afternoon! Friendly staff, great food! Recommend:)“
