Had a great time with my family. A lot of Resteraunts in the area do not take reservations. Last minute they were able to accommodate 16 of my family members! Food and service is great. Got to talk to some of the lads Noah and Sam (bartenders) were fun to get to know, very friendly, excellent cocktail menu. The owner is very present and I get the sense they take care of their workers. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Food was fine. Nothing outstanding but also good quality without complaints. 4 stars because on a Sunday night in the summer after waiting 20 min for a table and a little longer than expected for food very rushed out and made feel “unwelcome” and forced to leave after a total of an hour in the restaurant. We should have been warned they wanted to be empty 8pm. A bit early for a beach vacation town.

Always a great spot, excellent staff and food and drinks.

Perfect stop for a great meal! Large portions and delicious goodness in every bite! We did not stay here so I can not tell you about the rooms but if they are as nice as the restaurant you can’t go wrong

We had lunch we did not spend the night everyone in our party of 6 was pleased with their food and beverages.

We had without a doubt THE best experience we’ve ever had in York beach today!!! My buddy and I stumbled into this super chill spot on short sands and were blown away by the views, service, and delicious food and drinks. Everything from the hosts to the bartenders and everything in between were top notch. Our bartenders Sam and Chloe were soooo much fun and knowledgeable. They walked is through the menu pointing out their favorites and got us a delicious meal set up. And the drinks!!!! They were so delicious and might I add strong!!! Five stars, two thumbs up, rave reviews! Chloe was a smoke show but in a wifey type of way. And Sam was wildly efficient and made perfect libations. Needless to say inn on the blues is an absolute must.

Disappointing service. From the unwelcoming hostess to the waitress service upstairs, it was not a good luncheon experience. It was not crowded yet we waited and always seemed to try for the attention of the waitress. When food arrived, the chicken was overcooked and not good.

Really fun place! Great Saturday night with terrific band, Business Times. Right across from Short Sands Beach in York Beach Maine. Open to the front with dining options.

Very average bar but main issue is having issues getting my ID checked every single time I have went. Bouncer who wears the Eagles hat laughs and mocks my REAL ID every single time I go. Until he scans it then quietly allows me in without saying another word. Has quizzed me on multiple questions before related to my home state, to the point where I have to bring my global entry ID and my passport. You’d really think they’d care about the clearly underage high schoolers they let in but no, as a dude coming with another person or two I am always given some sort of issue and never acknowledgement that he was in the wrong. As someone who’s lived in and returns to York for a majority of the year, it sucks to have this experience when he’s seen and given me trouble multiple separate times.
Had the lobster shrimp scampi and it was so good! Absolutely loaded with shrimp and lobster.

Short Sands York Beach is one of my favorite places to visit! I've been coming up every summer for most of my life, have seen Inn On The Blues countless times and never stopped, until just recently when I ventured in to try it - I'll definitely be back!
The second floor view was overlooking the water, the service was friendly and accommodating, and the food was top tier! The pictures speak for themselves, I know; however, everything tasted fresh and delicious!
(If you stop in, the prosciutto flatbread is a MUST try.)

A beachy wonderland! The open airy first floor was comfortable and even when crowded, I attend a private dinner event, did not feel stuffy. The second floor dining and dinner area was host to spectacular views of the ocean and maintained the islandesque setting with the ocean breeze wafting through. The food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond. Definitely a do not miss place while visiting Short Sands!
