“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.“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“the food, the scallops and their corn“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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 (😉).“

“So we were driving on our way back to Ogunquit and we’re sure where to grab lunch. We driven by the Fish Camp several times but had never stopped: we are so happy we did! It was a quiet late afternoon, and we had plenty of parking to chose from. I had the fish & chips, and paired that with a relatively new offering from their tap - BARLEYWINE!! Both the food and the suds were great. My girl had the humus and it was a serving size that could easily accommodate more than one
person (2-3). And they are dog friendly, which is a must for us.

We’ll see you next time we drive into town for sure.“

“Been going to Wells for years and finally tried Rollover Cafe, it was delicious. The ladies working were super friendly, very chatty and could tell I was new.:) We ordered the meatball subs and as Nonna says, “best meatball subs in town”.“

“I'm a big fan of fried seafood the way they prepare it in the New England region

Monday May 18th 5:00
A gentleman at a convenience store told be about Brown' s when I asked where I could find the best seafood shack. Boy was he right on the money with this place!!! Wow!!

I wish I could remember her name to credit her, but I was greeted by the most polite and kind young lady who took my order. I asked a few questions and she wound up explaining to me that they had a platter where you could get four types of seafood which I ordered. It included haddock, shrimp, scallop and fried clam strips. The onion rings were great. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. . Everything was so fresh and I've never seen such big plump fried clam strips in my life. This was the best fried food experience of my life in all the years that I've been to New England, including sit down restaurants.

if you want great seafood and you're in the Perkins Cove area run, don't walk to this place and have the best seafood experience you can ask for with friendly efficient service. Home Run.“

“amazing food and atmosphere“

“Just had an amazing dinner at Walkers Maine in Cape Neddick! Our waitress Brook was fantastic, helping us navigate the delicious menu. We started with complimentary bread & oil, then devoured fried oysters. I enjoyed the short rib kofta with zucchini & German potato salad, while my friend savored the salmon entree. For dessert, we had to try the in-house-made sarsaparilla-glazed donuts & ice cream. Everything was top-notch!“

“The Summer Salad appetizer is a must. Tender greens with fresh cucumbers and mangoes with pecorino. I also recommend the Quattro pizza with fresh burratta. It’s mouthwatering. Be sure to be seated in Mitchell’s section he’s an awesome waiter 😀“

“We were very pleased to have a special experience last night at the White Barn Inn after some disappointments a few months before… Everything from the lobster to the tenderloin to the cheese plate to the crab was just spectacular and the service was perfect. Thank you so much.“

“Got introduced to “That Place” by Friends last night for my Birthday 🥳 We had dinner there and I am so very happy that we did…the food was excellent and of high quality!

“We had an amazing time at the drag show, and the girls coming together and serenading me “Happy Birthday” was awesome. I also have to tell you about the fancy grilled cheese sandwich, it has goat cheese | sharp cheddar | brie | oaxaca | honey | sweet peppers… it was amazing….. wonderful food, great people and fabulous atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!!“

“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.“

“Best breakfast in the Kennebunks! Delicious food, friendly service, bright and welcoming space.“

“the food, the ambiance, the wait staff.“

“Always the best food and customer service in town. We have been going to 50 local for years, it continues to be a family favorite. Have to share because it made such a hard evening just a little easier. A few weeks ago we lost our dog Scout very tragically. I called in an order to go and whn I went in to pick it up the hostess immediately knew something was wrong. She asked if I was alright and I instantly broke down.. I told her what had just happened. She then proceeded to give me two desserts, gave me a big hug and, told me they were on the house. It wasn’t about the desserts (they were fantastic as always) it was more the kindness, support and, sympathy that she showed us that evening. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate you all so much.“

“5/5 experience for us. A beautiful drive to this gem. Upscale ambience and delicious food in an old-world, inviting, setting. The servers were very professional and well-trained. Checked every box. Bonus: live piano music in the lounge on our way out.“

“Duffy’s Tavern & Grill is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The highlight? The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich—a perfect blend of crispy, juicy chicken with just the right balance of heat and sweetness. It’s absolutely delicious. Great vibes, great food—highly recommend!“

“Absolutely loved the vibe, service, and food. Our server was on his very first day and his coworker was so helpful to him in answering our questions. Their teamwork was great. We sat upstairs at lunchtime and the vibe and decor, including fish shaped water bottles, was perfect as were the views.

We were a table of 4 and all the food was great including coconut shrimp, chowder, fried fish sandwich, baked haddock, and more. We didn’t have drinks but we could see delicious cocktails being served at the bar. We will definitely plan to come back here again and again!

The location in Kennebunkport is near everything including whale watching tours and kitschy shopping.“

“Fresh Fruit is DELICIOUS. nice staff.“

“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!“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“Great food and great service. Will definitely visit again if ever down this way!“

“Ate here today, 05/04/2026 and this was one of the best meals both my husband and I ever had! The haddock and mac and cheese were incredible. The place was very clean and our waitress was very attentive.

update: came back the very next day, which is unlike my husband and I as we try to experience new things but we could not stop thinking about how good the food was! We are only here on vacation and were leaving today, but we even waited around an hour for them to open just so we can eat here before heading out!“

“We had a family date night and we were so impressed by everything- starting with the amazing attentive staff and followed by the incredible food. What a phenomenal place!“

“My husband and I stopped in for some breakfast. The food was really good and actually reminded us of home. Staff were very nice and polite and it had a welcoming atmosphere. I would eat here again if we were to ever return to Maine.“

“Excellent food and entertainment rolled into one! Highly recommend!!“

“Sebago Brewing has great beer and food in a convenient location in Kennebunk Maine. They even offer barley wine and cocktails fast and friendly. Its a local gathering spot but convenient if you are trust passing through. A very easy going vibe will be found here with $5 22oz draft beer 🍺 Wednesdays.“

“Super cute place to grab a tasty lunch. The ladies there are so sweet and take care of customers well. Super cute dining area and vibe!“

“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.“

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

“Good food, excellent service and amazing views, highly recommend!“
