About The Fairgrounds Hotel

The Fairgrounds Hotel is a hidden gem that surpasses even the best seafood restaurants in Maine. This community treasure offers exceptional culinary experiences, featuring dishes like the Signature Seafood Combo, broiled scallops, haddock, and coconut shrimp, all accompanied by a selection of soups and salads. The restaurant's commitment to customer satisfaction is clear in its polite and efficient service, which shines even during busy times. Recent diners have praised the amazing food and friendly staff, with one group emphasizing the unreal strawberry pie dessert. The menu includes a variety of options, including the popular Lobster Trio and unique martinis like the Lavender Lemon drop. The atmosphere is enhanced by charming cat decorations and portraits throughout the establishment. While some guests have raised concerns about specific dishes, such as the salty French onion soup and dry stuffed flounder, many others have enjoyed their meals and appreciated the exceptional wait staff, who are accommodating even to those without reservations. With its excellent food, drinks, and service, The Fairgrounds Hotel remains an ideal spot for special occasions and date nights, making it well worth the effort to secure a reservation.

Overall amazing food and experience! First time we have gone and it certainly won’t be the last. Dinner with a group of 9, service was amazing from start to finish, food was amazing, the strawberry pie dessert is unreal! Everyone ate so much and still had left overs to take home, well done to the entire staff! If your thinking about going to the Fairgrounds Hotel for dinner stop thinking, make a reservation and GO!

We went Saturday for the first time and won't be back..The French onion Sea has soup was so salty,we couldn't eat it..We were the first ones there and waited over a hour for our food.The stuff flounder was dry, and the surf an turf had no flavor, cheddar mashed potatoes had no taste,and vegetables were hard..We did see the three 4oz lobster flight tails, nothing like the pictures 3 tails for 60 bucks is crazy

We have been there 3 times in the last 3 weeks! Lobster Trio is my favorite! My wife loves the haddock and the strawberry pie is out of this world. The wait staff is exceptional and very accommodating as witnessed today for a couple that didn't have reservations and drove a hour to get there, they were offered a table outside that was available and they jumped at the opportunity! Best seafood around 😋
