Restaurants in Rockland

“5 stars in every regard!!”

“Really nice waitress, great food - we will definitely return”

“What an absolutely wonderful evening. We visited Suzuki Sushi last night with family, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance; cozy, intimate, and underscored by soft, well-chosen music that set the tone without overpowering conversation.
The meal itself was exceptional. We began with crisp, flavorful gyoza that disappeared almost instantly, followed by an array of nigiri and rolls showcasing incredibly fresh fish and thoughtful presentation. Keiko’s Favorite Roll was a standout; rich, balanced, and easily one of the best I’ve had. We paired everything with sake from Keiko’s hometown and even ventured into Japanese whisky for the first time. They were smooth, nuanced, and a real highlight.
What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—we felt like guests rather than just another table. It turned an excellent meal into a memorable family evening.
If you’re looking for standout sushi in Midcoast Maine, this is the place. We’ll absolutely be back.”

“wonderful icecream rich flavors and good prices”

“Super satisfying cold sandwiches and friendly staff!”

“Great restaurant, creative menu. I had the granola and yogurt, would have been better with more yogurt since I was left with mostly dry granola to eat after finishing the small amount of yogurt. Tasty, but proportions need to be more balanced. Otherwise a nice breakfast.”

“We drove all the way to Rockland from MA after checking on google to make sure they were open & google said they were open until 4. Gave up a day at the lake & they were closed on Wednesday!!! They need to adjust their hours!!”

“We had dinner at Roslyn Fine Thai Cuisine on a weekday evening while on vacation. It is clearly a favorite among locals—while we were dining, many people came in whom the owners greeted by name. The restaurant is very attractive inside, the menu is extensive, and the service was very good. Everything we ordered was delicious. We would definitely return for Thai food and highly recommend it!”

“Eclipse of the Pearl is a new jewel ? Lovely ambiance and thoughtful/tasteful creative food. Midcoast is privileged to enjoy and share this new restaurant. The owner is caring and meticulous: your appreciation is HIS reward. ?”

“Cowboy burger was incredible! Cheese fries, top notch. Will definitely be back.”

“My husband and I enjoyed the many delicious beer options, beautiful location in downtown Rockland, and welcoming atmosphere. I also loved that they had local cider as well. We are so glad to have such an amazing new spot in our community!”

“Amazing food, staff and atmosphere!”

“I finally made it to Ada’s! Celebrated my Birthday with great friends 🎂 great atmosphere, delightful waitress ( Anna), great Calzone and the best Margarita (s!) I’ve ever had! Will be back for sure!🎶💕”

“We travel from Newcastle to eat at Trackside. Everything we have ever ordered has been delicious. So many great things on their menu. We especially love the haddock bites.”

“First time there, will go back again. Very nice people and service. Lobster rolls and cole slaw were great. People next to us recommended the Seafood Platter! Next time!!”

“Fantastic food, service & drinks! My personal favorites are the Beet Napoleon salad & Eggplant Parmigiano!! Best in town & love the generous portion sizes for a very reasonably price. Their house marinra/red sauce is INCREDIBLE! Thank you Rustica for serving up such great food to us l locals!”

“Yummy cakes & delicious breads. And, the cookies, OMG. You won't be disappointed!”

“First - come with the mindset that it’s a food truck. And as food trucks go - excellent. Server was friendly - we got our food fast. And the panzzo bread was hot, cheesy, crispy crust like the bottom of a deep dish pizza. Sauce was perfect for dipping. Warmed us up from the inside on an otherwise foggy and chilly day. Probably a good thing we are just visiting or I would be filling up on the panzzo bread a couple of times a week.”

“Top notch service with great prices and big portions!”

“Every time I come into Affinity I’m always greeted with a smile and either a good morning or a good afternoon. Donny is always attentive and polite. Not only are the teas and shakes to die for but you can always count on them being tasty. I love that I can just walk in and know that whatever I get it’s going to be phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone I can!”

“Everyone at J&J is super friendly, lobster prices are very reasonable, and watching how they operate is really fun! Owners are AMAZING and so are their employees! Bonus: if you're lucky you'll catch the owners there with their ridiculously cute dog, Orca, and gets lots of snuggles and loves from her!”

“excellent food and service! and all vegan! 😊”

“3 or 4 trips over the last month with different orders each time and consistently wonderful food and service!”

“love the vibe of this place. Like a great diner but more. great service too. Had brunch stop here and eggs benedict. Solid and good. Well priced too. Parking tip go around back and easy to park. entrance in the back and entrance on Main St.”

“The best burger I have had in a long time. Well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!”

“Restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. Service was quick and friendly. Food was excellent. We had spring rolls, egg rolls, crab wonton, pork fried rice, vegetable fried rice, ribs, orange chicken and beef & broccoli. Egg rolls were excellent!! Everything was really delicious. Will definitely return!”

“Best REAL bar in the town. We were looking for somewhere to watch the eagles with hood wings!! Chowder and wings were unbelievable, Reuben delicious!! Chris the bartender was personable and on it! Even ended up sitting next to the owner and some regulars. Genuine people, awesome environment and delicious food! 5 stars! Thank you!”

“Great food. Had dock tacos were exceptional. Big pieces of broiled had dock and vegetables cut properly topped with crema. The poutine was addictive, and big enough for two. Will definitely go back and try the rest of their menu”

“Visited here from upstate NY...Best meal ever and the coleslaw is the best I have ever had and I'm big on coleslaw. Will definitely be back, Everything was Cooked perfect!!!”

“Being from Oklahoma I know a good smash burger and these are on point! I eat here often while I'm working in maine because they remind me of home and the sauces they provide I will forever love.”

“My review is based off of the tamales just ordered. I grew up in Panama and it was one the best treats to get fresh tamales. It didn’t happen very often- but when it did, I loved them so much. And obviously in Maine- it’s almost impossible to find them- especially authentic. I was quite impressed with Sammy’s take on tamales. Of course- they are not the exact replica of what I had- but they are very impressive. And it’s A LOT of work to make them. It’s not Taco Bell. These are real tamales and I truly hope they don’t go away. Thanks so much for adding these into the Midcoast menu taking the time. Truly delicious. 🇵🇦”

“8/2/26 second visit here and still so good. The views from the deck are amazing, the wait staff is professional. But the food is to die for. I had a repeat meal the fried haddock sandwich ( you can’t find the sandwich the serving is so big and French dip for my wife so good. Highly recommend.”

“Rockland isn’t known for its reviews but is a great town with a great food scene. The envy in some ways of the surrounding communities, at least from the restaurants. Rock City is no exception, if you want a great cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast bite this is one of the best cafe’s to happen upon. The food takes a minute as it’s all homemade and not microwaved like the drivethru spots. Enjoy and support local!”

“My friends and I always have a great time here, and it’s one of those places we know we can consistently count on for a fantastic experience. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing, which really makes a difference. Whether we’re stopping by for a casual drink or settling in for a longer evening, the atmosphere is always enjoyable, and the service never disappoints. It’s become a reliable favorite for us, and we’re always happy to come back!”

“My aunt and I went to Archer’s on Monday and splurged for lunch and totally enjoyed ourselves! The setting was gorgeous, beautiful with views of the harbor and we had the best seat in the house. The staff and were friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. We tried the peekytoe crab cakes and oyster Rockefeller for appetizers and had the lobster lunch special! That lobster was the best one I’ve ever had, perfectly steamed and very delicious. Couldn’t walk away without a slice of raspberry and blueberry pie for dessert! I will recommend this place to all my friends who travel to Maine for vacation! Archer’s made these 2 Cajun gals very happy while we were on vacation! Thank you so much Lynn!”

“The food is very good and the the people are very nice and patient. The one thing that annoys me is that I order the bacon double cheeseburger with no lettuce and no pickles. I know the folks taking my order get it right. They repeat back my requests as they are entering into the computer. maybe the folks putting the orders together should read what the order says? This happens everytime .”
