“When visiting Maine two years ago, my husband and I were looking for gluten free restaurants, which can be quite the chore. After reading the reviews for Shannon's, we drove to Boothbay and couldn't believe all the gluten free options. We ordered more food than we needed because there were so many options. Everything was fresh and delicious. Seriously, gluten free onion rings! During that trip, we ate there twice and twice again the next year. We are looking forward to next year's trip and more Shannon's food. In addition to the food, the staff are warm, welcoming and friendly and make you feel like a neighbor instead of a tourist. We are huge Shannon's Unshelled fans!”

“Fantastic espresso and European milk shakes! Our tradition became getting my daily hit of caffeine and my quad espresso never let me down! It was smooth and just a hint of bitterness that I adore! Highly recommend!!”

“Best lobstaaaa shack. Favorite place to sit outside and eat fresh fish”

“Kelly's has the best breakfast in Boothbay! You won't be disappointed. We recommend it 300%. Food is great and the staff is wonderful. Have never had a bad meal there.”

“The vibe here is welcoming, real, and genuine. The food and drinks are top notch along with the service. And it all begins with the owners, Zoli and Sarah, who are kind and honest as the day is long. We can’t speak highly enough of them, their crew and this establishment. We will come by every time we are in the area.”

“Harborside 1901 is where craft and comfort meet the shoreline. 🍸✨ The modern mixology is nothing short of inspired — each glass a little journey of flavor and artistry. The staff welcome you not just as guests but as friends, creating an atmosphere that’s relaxed, fun, and wonderfully interactive. Plates arrive as both nourishment and celebration, with food that delights at every bite. And the finale — world-class pastries and desserts — lingers like a sweet memory you’ll want to return to again and again. (We sure did!!)A true gem where culinary creativity and heartfelt hospitality shine. 🌊🍷🍰”

“Make sure you have a reservation during the season for the best views. Even if you don’t, they work hard to accommodate you. Be sure to ask for Susan! She has great recommendations, service, and personality.”

“Lasagna is a must try and their cheesesteaks every pie they make is always delicious the staff is super nice and the vibes are always fun especially when they have a band playing.”

“This place was recommended by a former resident of Boothbay Harbor. It is simple, straightforward, and phenomenal. They make fried haddock and fries. That's it. When I saw that a fish sandwich was $20, I thought it must be a ripoff. It was just the opposite! My wife and I easily ate until we were full. I'm not kidding when I say it seemed like there was 2 lbs. of haddock. This was easily the best fish sandwich I've ever had.”

“The Best coffee in Boothbay. A consistant great cup of coffee every time.”

“What an amazing hidden spot! Wish we had found this years ago! We come here once a year on vacation. Pepper is a wonderful conversationalist, and so friendly! Every beer we tried was excellent, and the food was amazing. We took some beer to go as well!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We are from upstate New York. ~Rob and Janet Dandrow”

“We just tried Vera Idyllic Pizza for the first time and we were impressed. We tried both pizza and calzone - both were excellent. The pizza dough was tasty and well cooked. The red sauce had good flavor and there was none of the ugly garlic powder or sugary flavor that you sometimes get on pizzas at other locations.
This was a cash only place when we visited.”

“I had breakfast on the deck everyday of my trip! Service was friendly and great. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was a perfect was to start the day!”

“The food is excellent at a fair price! The menu has a lot of good options.”

“Excellent fresh food. We have eat the Lobster Rool Trio. So tasty!”

“Baker's Way is a local favorite! This place has solid breakfast sandwiches (the owner always recommends egg cheese bacon or sausage on a croissant!), apple fritters, & cinnamon rolls. Prices are reasonable. The owner is very kind. Sometimes they give you extra goodies before closing the store for the day :P Can't recommend this place enough.”

“The server Wed night was exceptional. And dinner was super!
Thursday night the servers seemed stressed ad fighting for who had our table - our dinner order got taken twice, ad when we told the First server Another had come and taken our order again, well...
Hopefully they worked it out.

The Oysters were top notch clean, fresh!
The Crabcakes, absolutely delicious.
The Grilled Vegetable Sandwich was satisfying and so very tasty, and the salty stag Asian Salmon is our fave meal in town!”

“Spectacular doesn’t begin to describe our experience at Grey Havens Inn! From the moment we arrived, the magnificent harbor view beckoned us to sit in a big ol’ rocking chair on the Inn’s lovely porch, cocktail in hand & relax completely into the moment. Oh & sunsets? Outstanding! Our first moments at Grey Havens were so warm & welcoming. Actually even before arriving, calls with innkeepers, Ali & Carlos, had us beyond excited for our initial stay. I say initial because of course we definitely will return & soon I hope! I could list endlessly all the delightful elements that the Grey Havens team have combined to create a place in which one can truly & gloriously unwind. From the lovely & cozy guest rooms to the gorgeous bay-windowed common room (with its stunning actual bay-view) the vibe is marvelous. Grey Havens feels quintessentially seaside Maine with just the barest but perfect touch of some lovingly placed & demure whimsy to intrigue a curious eye. Our initial stay dates did not overlap with Blue’s calendar, sadly. However the many tales we heard of Chef Esau’s creations have us drooling in anticipation. We will ensure we enjoy a dinner at Blue upon our return to Grey Havens.”
