“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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 (😉).“

“Vacationing in Wells with our grandkids. Went out for an early dinner. Sat on the patio. Kids had burgers (and they are fussy eaters). They ate the burgers and fries with no talking which means it had to be good. I had the tacos with fish which were amazing. My husband had the fish and chips. Huge portion but overcooked. Beer was good. Service was great. Will go again for burgers and beer.“

“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”.“

“One more stop lobster dinner before heading south out of Maine. Went with the cold lobster roll this time. Was very good. I ordered the special. Lobster roll and clam chowder. Glad I did. Clam chowder was creamy as I like it. We sat at the picnic tables outside for a little while and took the rest on the road. Bae’s onion rings were really good.“

“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!“

“amazing food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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“

“Just there today. The Harbor side Cioppino is my favorite. My favorite restaurant.“

“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!“

“Everything was wonderful except for two things. There wasn't enough alcohol in my drink. I bet if I was sitting at the bar instead of a table, Charlie would have accommodated my wishes for my drink as he is a terrific bartender. And I miss the piano music!“

“What a hidden gem!

Tucked away right next to the pool, this spot was exactly what I needed—a laid-back escape from the downtown hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport. I was initially confused about how to get in (thought I was lost for a second!), but once I found it, I knew I’d discovered something special.

Plenty of shady spots to lounge, a great indoor-outdoor vibe, and seriously relaxing poolside energy. A lot of games for kids. The menu hits all the right notes—classic food and drink options that are comforting and satisfying.

The real highlight? Kayla, the bartender. She was an absolute joy! Super friendly, attentive, and full of great local recs. Her service was top-notch, and she made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. We chatted, laughed, and I left already looking forward to coming back.

If you’re looking for a chill, sunny spot with great drinks, tasty bites, and even better company—this is it. Don’t miss it!“

“💯 recommend! my wife and I visited in Oct 2025,I wasn't a fish person until my breast cancer diagnosis, I fell in love with the blueberry wings and lobster ravioli here, I have been craving it ever since we left!“

“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.“

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

“The best ice cream we had in Kennebunkport! I received a BOGO free coupon from my visit at The Clam Shack for here so we had to check it out. I had the Moose Track and it was the best ice cream I’ve had in a long time. I loved the mini peanut butter cups that were mixed in.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“
