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.

We enjoyed a delicious anniversary meal and cocktails. The soups were amazing and the lobster flight was worth the price! We then enjoyed desserts, chocolate cake and the reminiscent Hess’s strawberry pie, which just like at Hess’s,is large enough to share with several people. Our server was wonderful, attentive and friendly. 10 out of 10 recommend trying the FairGrounds Hotel

We had great Waiter, Great Service from him. We did have reservations and got seated within minutes of going in, was very busy restaurant with seats all filled. My son had Lobster and Steak and He ate good along with mac n cheese, crab soup and dessert. He ate good. Our Meals filled my mom & I up so we took some home.
