24 Best Seafood Restaurants near Rockport

“The service was great, very polite but the kids pasta is super pricey for not a lot of pasta.“

“Where the locals go. What are the best meals we had while in Maine. An unpretentious little place with delicious food. Loved the lobster roll ($24), fries were crispy and the haddock Ruben was delicious. We thought it was the best clam chowder we had our whole visit.“

“I'm taking this higher than this experience deserves. I've gotten seafood from Graffam's before and it's always been fantastic. This time I just grabbed snacks, mozzarella sticks and tortellini pasta. They were both the worst example of their kind I've ever had. Just shows the old adage that you should only get what a restraint specialized in, to be true“

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

“Excellent food in a beautiful location. The top notch attentive staff make you feel welcome. We eat at Salt Wharf almost weekly. By far, the best in the area.“

“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!!“

“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. ?“

“As a born and raised Mainer we have been up and down the coast eating seafood all of our lives. This place is hands down one of the best. Seafood is plentiful as well as the best tasting. I consider myself a scallop conisor, l know a good fried scallop. This place is the best. And the fried clams are just as good. Take it from me you will not go hungry or disappointed.“

“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!!!“

“Found this place about five years ago now we visit every time we are close we're from St. Louis Missouri and I've eaten here 10 or 12 times in the last few years. It's a must eat destination when in or near Central Maine! The Lobster Fettuccine Is To Die For 😋 🦞👩‍🍳🍝“

“We took my sister out to eat for her birthday. We ordered 2 buckets.. seafood platter. Food was excellent! Servers were great. Even took pictures of us for me. Everyone was so polite and very fun. Food was served hot and tasted amazing. Best seafood place I've been to so far. Highly recommended. Even if prices were high, the food was well worth the 2 and half hour drive! Thank you all! 10 stars if I could give it to you.“

“Have lived in a variety of places up & down the Maine coast and eaten at many a waterfront restaurant. Some, I think, figure the view will distract you from sub-standard food - lobster roll served on a tiny hot-dog bun, burnt/dried out fries. Granted, it's not haute cuisine you expect when you eat at one of these places, but done well, it's a delicious and essential part of a coastal visit. I had tge absolute BEST crab roll here - a small sub roll STUFFED with crab and just a dab of mayo. No celery/lettuce filler. Fries were moist! Ate 'em all. And I don't usually get excited about fries. Husband had an enormous fried haddock sandwich. Big piece of fresh fish that dwarfed the bun. Plus we got an outdoor waterside seat on the deck on a beautiful day, and great, smiling service. I live two hours up the coast, but hope to return and replicate this experience again sometime.“

“Good breakfast and lunch on Route 1 aka Main Street in Camden. Deck seating available weather permitting. Great service and great food at a fair price. Booths in the back overlook the harbor and you're right over the falls.

Parking: When it's busy in Camden parking can be a problem but off season we got a space right in front.“

“Extraordinary and unlike any other restaurant in Maine. We found the establishment on our Michelin Guide portal, pretty much the only place recommended by Michelin in Maine. We enjoyed the lobster tasting, beautiful dishes of Maine lobster combined with south East Asian flavors. Service was attentive and knowledgeable .“

“Stopped here for lunch yesterday on a girls trip to Camden. I got the calamari, margaritas, and the waterfront Cuban and we all shared the brownie dessert. Absolutely delicious! They had so many enticing menu options it was hard to choose between them. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the boats on the water. You won't be disappointed stopping here for a bite to eat.“

“The lobster roll was #1. The lobster red Ale wasn't too bad either. My sweetie gave the clam chowder a big thumbs-up. Thanks“

“Delicious! Simple menu of build your own breakfast sandwich. Go for the Prairie Breeze cheese!!! Worth the $2 extra. The woman who took our order was so friendly and helpful. The prices were great. Would have loved to try this place for dinner too but we didn't get a chance. Definitely come here for a breakfast sandwich if you can!“

“A very pleasant and tasty dinner!
The waitress was outstanding, Service was fast and clean!

Food was great, beer and wine tasted great!

I‘d recommend coming here, maybe make a reservation prior since they are very busy, which they totally deserve!“

“Awesome place and awesome service too. Lily E. Is a awesome bartender and hard worker too. I will be back either sometime again this year or next year. Next time I'll have some food and drinks. Great beer drinks next time I'll get some cocktails like margaritas or something new. Happy Summer. Again Hide Ride is a awesome place. And again Lily E. Is awesome bartender. 👍“

“We had such a great time here! The lobster wontons and crab cakes were amazing! And the drinks so we'll made and reasonably priced! The staff was very friendly and attentive. And we even got to watch a football game! We definitely recommend!“

“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. 🇵🇦“

“Just spent 5 nights here & it was a great stay. Perfect location! Our room was Paris. It was beautiful with lots of pillows and the bed was so comfortable! Would definitely recommend & stay here again!“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday night for dinner and drinks while vacationing in Maine. We sat at the bar and there was no wait. The bartender was personable and attentive. We ordered a couple beers and had dinner. Fish tacos were pretty good. The pasta was good too. We walked here from the place we were staying so I can’t say exactly what the parking situation is but I’m pretty sure it’s on the street - not sure about meters. The atmosphere was laid back and easy going - there weren’t too many others at the bar while we were here but we had a nice conversation with a bar neighbor. Overall great experience.“

“Amazing lobster rolls and stew!!! Great service and healthy pours! I apologize as my husband knocked over the whole tub of silverware coming into the place but thanks for the laughs!!!“
