“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“My grandparents used to take me here when I was little and now I take my children here . The clam chowder is the best I’ve had in Maine and the portions are huge . Tonight I was so impressed with our waitress Makenzie J . She was so sweet and so attentive. Food is always absolutely delicious and service is always great !“

“We have been going to Horizons for many years. The food is always wonderful and Mary Ellen and her staff are always smiling and welcoming. One of the only places you can get a choice of how you want your eggs poached and they always come out right. Best choice for breakfast in the area.“

“Amazing! The seafood is as fresh as fresh can be. And beyond delicious! The service is wonderful! Worth driving about 20 minutes up the road from Kittery (😉).“

“For you that know me and those who don’t,I speak my mind about any subject whether it’s good or plain sucked !! I have to share this little story with you ,a dismal start to our vacation week, A normal 3 hour drive turned into a five hour one,then I had issues with my oxygen machine,which turned into waiting for a servicemen to come from two hours away.So we are looking at 9 o’clock at night before he would come, now we haven’t eaten since morning and now it’s past 7:30. We knew since Covid hit most eateries are open limited hours, we called Stutesy’s Pub & Grill they said come on down even though they were already shutting down for 8 o’clock. That they will take care of us,not only was Stacie a gracious host her husband cooked us a wonderful meal and even made two more meals to go for our two sons,who were coming laterThey won over our hearts and our taste buds so you’ve got to give Stutesy’s a try for sure!!“

“There is nothing that isn’t great about the Rollover cafe. The atmosphere and the service make you feel so welcome and the coffee is amazing🩷“

“These folks never disappoint! The food is spot on at every turn. I will be having dreams about that duck dish. Service is outstanding. They are very allergy friendly as well. The gardens are beautiful and one of the few restuarants that still uses tableclothes. Have been here many times and will continue to return!“

“Amazing bar with great food!“

“A rare gem. Huge portions. The freshest of ingredients. Yes, they offer a Vegan special. Even better, the taste, very special. Within ten minutes, we had 4 different people check on how we were doing. We were in a rush to make the theater. They handled that very well too. A truly special place. You will leave with minds at ease and belly full.“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“We had New Year’s Eve dinner here, it was all perfect in every way! We had the best table in the house(at least that’s what we thought)and def the best server in the house, Handsome Sean, with a guest appearance from the other Sean😉We had Bolognese, Steak Frites, Ribeye, Mediterranean Grain Cakes and more. Highly recommend Five-0“

“Ben there a few times for bkfst , the best around b patient it’s worth the wait, stop complaining everyone works hard , if your in a hurry go thru the McDonalds & get a greasy egg sandwich, Has anyone tried the Haddock dinner on Friday’s?“

“We love to find local pubs to visit and after driving by Duffy’s many times we decided to put it on our date night calendar. We enjoyed quick friendly service. The Nachos were everything pub nachos should be, plentiful and nicely toasted. I had the French dip which was loaded with Roastbeef and the house made onion rings were some of the best I’ve had. Hubby had Chicken Parm which is his favorite. It was a large enough portion for his big appetite to even take some home and his exact words were “just as good the next day!” We finished with the blueberry bread pudding, again large enough to share and it was delicious.“

“I'm fortunate to live on the beautiful New England coast where seafood restaurants are in abundance. I'm even more fortunate to have experienced the Baked Crusted Haddock at Pilot House in Kennebunk, ME. Must go here, even for just a drink. The local vibe and service is genuine, and the energy is awesome.“

“Cool atmosphere and food was amazing! It was a busy evening but the service was perfect. We recommend and will return!“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“Lobster carbonara was fantastic, served hot, pasta was cooked perfectly. Lovely dish and worth its price. Smashburger was not seasoned therefore bland however fries were cooked to perfection. Lovely decor in the restaurant and friendly staff.“

“Fabulous food and wonderful staff. So glad we found this place when we were in the area.“

“Christopher at the bar is amazing and the owner Jake was so accommodating to our group. We literally brought a wedding party here last minute on a holiday weekend and they made the night! Thank you Jake a Christopher! ❤️“

“Food came super quick and was amazing !! 5 ⭐️“

“Went to the the Ogunquit restaurant and had the blackened haddock taco salad. Delicious. I have been craving it since. Highly recommend!!“

“This is a cute family friend cafe. The food was good but the bagel and lox I ordered had pretty much no cream cheese on it and the bagel was not good quality at all. I did ask for more cream cheese and the waitress gave me some. The staff was very friendly. We all thought it was odd however, that they didn’t have pancakes on the menu. That just doesn’t make sense for a breakfast cafe.“

“We make reservations for our guests at The Tiller Restaurant frequently as the views and menu are perfect for every romantic get away, highly recommend!“

“The service, the food, the drinks all were awesome. Highly recommend.“

“Great food, great staff, great experience each and every time we go! Thank you!“

“Delicious delicious lobster!!! Great cocktails!!! our waiter was fantastic!!! well done! highly recommend“

“The service to our large group was excellent. Our servers, Luigi andUlises were so good and entertaining. Can’t wait to go back“

“Had a wonderful dinner at Crew last night. Donna was the consummate hostess with a friendly, warm greeting, a broad smile, and an extraordinary effort to secure us a table by an open window. Alexa served us in an equally friendly and superbly efficient manner making every effort to help us secure a memorable evening. The food was wonderful including luscious pretzel sticks and salads with delicious grilled chicken and shrimp added. We are longtime Front Porch fans, and Crew continues your tradition of excellent food and exemplary service. BTW, we do miss Johnny’s smiling face but understand that he is enjoying a well-deserved retirement.“

“Good and staff were excellent“

“Our waitress Jamie is wonderful! She makes us feel very welcome every time we come. She takes good care of our dietary needs, a.k.a. gluten-free. She remembers our preferences for our orders, always check back with us to see how we’re doing, and is efficient and friendly.“

“Adorable cafe style shop right in the heart of Ogunquit! Fresh delish options, a switch up from the typical fried food in the area which I loved. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and homemade! The staff is attentive and answered all questions! They are gluten free friendly which is a huge plus and they keep all things separate which is a huge plus for a celiac. A clean, bright , and fresh atmosphere that has a very beachy vibe! Has quickly become a favorite spot! Would recommend over and over again!“

“We went here for a late dinner and we were curious to check out the piano bar upstairs. Overall, the ambiance was cool but we were not able to sit upstairs so we ate on the first floor. The appetizers were good (Buffalo cauliflower and french onion dip with homemade chips). The entrees were not anything to write home about - they was fine but looked a lot different in the photos online than it did in person, and for the prices I do not think the quality/value aligned. The fries were not very good, and the lobster roll was okay. The bolognese was also okay but the pasta was super overcooked, which I should’ve known would happen since this isn’t an Italian restaurant. The burger or fried chicken sandwich would’ve probably been a safer choice here.“

“The breakfast was very good and plentiful;. New owner has a great personality abd is being innovative in the menu !“

“I came here last night with my family and we had an absolutely wonderful experience, we had the best seat in the restaurant with beautiful views of the ocean in every direction, even on a rainy evening which made it even more cozy. I’m vegan and went into dinner thinking I would just have a salad as I didn’t see anything on the menu or have read any reviews mentioning a vegan option but upon arrival and speaking with our attentive waitress I learned that the chef would be able to make me something. She made me a Moroccan spice eggplant on a bed of jasmine rice with bok choy and beets in a coconut curry sauce and when I say it was absolutely delicious I pretty much licked the bowl clean. The chef even made it a point to come out and check on what I thought of the meal which was so extravagant as they are clearly passionate about creative, delicious meals. 100/10 recommend and truly fairly priced for the 4 of us we got 4 cocktails, vegan dish, chicken dish, salmon dish, shrimp dish and two salads and the total was under $250 before tip!“

“A step back in time. Great people and service.“

“We had a mini family reunion at the Dory this week. 10 total including 3 kids. Jenna the bartender was the best! She pulled together a bunch of tables for us outside near the pool, made sure to show the kids where the game rooms were, and got us a round of drinks, she was like a one woman band! We started out with a few of the appetizers so we could catch up with the relatives. The deep fried cheese curds were the favorite, but everyone enjoyed the wings and hummus too. Finally corralled the kids and ordered dinners. There is something for everyone on the menu, roll ups, pizza, burgers, sliders...and of course the piece de resistance (as far as the kids were concerned) for dessert, fabulous milkshakes. It's a great casual place and we will be back soon.“

“The server was very friendly“

“Even though this only got 3.8 stars, my husband and I took a gamble and went, we were very happy.. from the hostess to the waitress Krystal , we had an amazing view, service, and the food was great , would definitely go again, My husband got the Sea Dog blueberry bear and he loved it.. Great All around“

“OMG the waitress was incredible! We had a beer flight and she was out of one beer so she gave us a pumpkin spice with sugar and cinnamon on the rim, it was delicious. I had the Maine sampler (lobster roll, clam chowder, fries and blueberry cobbler)and hubby had the fish and chips. Both were delicious and we enjoyed the view of the boats docked while we ate. The waitress never forgot us, she checked to see if we needed anything and told us about local must sees. Well worth the trip.“

“First time there today for brunch. We ate in the heated igloo. Such a cool option! The fish and chips were delicious, as was the short rib Benedict. I neglected to get our waitress’s name, but she was lovely and friendly!“
