33 Best American Restaurants near Thomaston

“One of our favorite restaurants in Maine! Such a comfortable atmosphere with well worn wooden booths, tables and chairs. The menu is always so good, it makes it hard to decide what to order. Their salads are always good and a nice variety of other entrees and always delicious desserts that vary from day to day. Check the hours before you go.“

“Great service. Thank you Sarah! The food was outstanding. Biscuits, blueberry pancake, bacon, maple latte. Everything was perfect. Love the feel of the interior. Highly recommend.“

“We always receive fabulous service with a smile!“

“French influenced restaurant with a large, heated overflow tent. There Is good but abbreviated wine list. This is not a full service restaurant; table service was good. The Shrimp Dumplings are very good, just crisp on one side. The Shrimp and Grits are slightly spicy, the andouille was a little chewy. The shrimp Linguine has a lot of textures and flavors and was perfectly prepared.“

“I had the Haddock melt, very good would like to know where you get you haddock for the sandwiches? Excellent, hope to get back before we leave for Arizona.“

“Came here to celebrate my fiancee and I's engagement while we are traveling around Maine. We received phenomenal food and service dining here at Winonas! We did one of everything and all of the dishes were amazing. The tofu and the Halibut were highlights! We will be back next time we are in Camden and recommend this to anyone looking for an intimate dining experience!“

“Amazing food, staff and atmosphere!“

“12 year old. “It was the most creative and delicious burger I have had. It took more than 7 napkins. I used 9. Usually I don’t like mustard but it was perfectly balanced with the onions and pickles” 14 year old- “I like the combination and the crunch of onion and lettuce. The burger was cooked perfectly. I used exactly 7 napkins.” 10 year old- “ The best BLT on the midcoast. The most bacon I have ever seen on a BLT. If I had to judge on a 1-5 scale. It would be a five— and it had chips.” Support locally owned businesses.“

“We stopped down at the harbor for a snack on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Harbor Dogs is a tiny little stand, but they do a lot more than hot dogs! After a bit of deliberation we walked away with a million tons of food. Poutine! Asian fish tacos! Chili cheese dogs! Lobster rolls! Everything was delicious and those guys at the window? Top notch chefs. Get down to this unassuming shack and get yourself some amazing lunch.“

“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.“

“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. 🇵🇦“

“We just had a fantastic meal here over labor day weekend. Great ambiance and vibe with excellent service throughout the meal. The food was top notch, my wife had the Curry and I had a Halibut special. Unbelievable flavors and the portion was very generous. Will be back next time we are in Camden for sure!!“

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

“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“

“What a gem! Sat out in the beer garden. Great vibes and friendly staff. Burger was delicious. Sticky Sesame Shrimp entree was full of flavor. Tasty cocktails.

The Bang Bang Mushroom appetizer stole the show. Sensational. One of those dishes you think about long after you’ve finished digesting it.

We will be back!“

“Beautiful healthy food!!!!“

“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!“

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

“Great ice cream and the girls working there were awesome very friendly“

“May well be the best place to eat in Maine. Fantastic fresh seafood and excellent desserts. The fresh mussels are unbelievable. I had the lobster fricasse one night and the cod the other night. All right off the boat fresh cooked in a way so the seafood not the sauce dominated. For dessert I had a lemon cake on blue berry sauce and a pudding cake in toffee sauce.

Excellent service and nice views of Tenants Harbor. We stayed at the Inn and had breakfast there as well which was very good, but only available for Inn guests.

Tenants Harbor is far enough south of Route 1 the typical tourist stays away.“

“This place has THE BEST seafood around!“

“We have dined at 18 Central many times over the years. The restaurant is warm and inviting, located at Rockport Harbor. Be sure to check out the amazing view from the back with the seasonal deck! The food is incredible! Our party usually gets a variety of steaks, seafood and raw bar. Chef Patrick and his team create high quality and super tasty dishes. Jessica and her team’s offer top notch hospitality. Beautiful wine list and well executed cocktails are a plus! The restaurant is open year round (with a well-deserved) break, I believe. They offer generous specials so be sure to check them out.“

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

“We had a harbor cruise scheduled and arrived early to beat the traffic. On our way to the harbor we passed this deli and looked in. Saw the baked goods and that was it. I'm pretty particular to the calories I consume, but couldn't resist the peanut butter cup brownie and coffee latte - both of which I've never had. YUM! We sat inside to watch the water for nearly an hour. After the tour and walking the town we were nearly to our car and decided to go back for a sandwich to take home for dinner. Best retracing of steps ever! The sandwich was very tasty and there was enough for a second dinner the next night.“

“I have lived in Maine for over 5 years and i have tried many seafood restaurants in the Rockland area and tonight i had my best scallop dinner at the Rockport Diner! Awesome food and great staff!“

“We had a lovely meal at The Waterfront Restaurant. As the name suggests, it overlooks the water and is a good spot for a casual lunch. It’s a popular place, so be prepared to wait — we visited on a Tuesday afternoon and, even at 2:45pm, there was a 20-minute wait.

The staff were great, and we were seated as soon as they were able. We had the haddock fish and chips, which were lovely, although the portion was on the small side. The beef burger was also good. The service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely visit again!“

“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!“

“Hidden gem along Maine Coast. Food is amazing with Chef Katherine from Buck’s Restaurant joining the team.“

“Happy hour at Hartstone Inn was amazing with Tiffany. I enjoyed the Gin Kiss and Elderflower Cosmo.“

“We had a party of 2 at 3:45 pm on Friday, 6/19/26. We came to watch a World Cup match and have a snack. Service was good and quick. I got a cider and we split wings and a hummus plate. Everything was pretty good! The back porch looked really nice and I would’ve loved to sit out there had they had TVs. Good place to watch sports.“
