Local favorite, great food with a nice deck. Stick with the seafood - stuffed haddock with the mashed potatoes and cream sauce is amazing. Seared scallops are crack, and the fish tacos are awesome.
Had the Casco Bay omelet on a Sunday morning. Good food, good service , reasonable prices. Nice cozy diner feel to the place.
Twin lobsters were amazing with $3.50 blue moon how can you go wrong. Live band on Saturday was real fun.
Very good lobster dinner . Nice Octoberfest draft . 45 min. wait for table. Quick service at the bar . Good prices.
The lobster roll and fruit de mar. The waitresses are amazing too.
Deserves higher ratings. Friendly service and delicious breakfast . The bloody mary wasn't bad either
I had the fried shrimp it was very tasty and the wait to be seated thing is outside of the restaurant .
Great location, sit outside on the patio if it’s nice weather!
Amazing lobster ! Definitely recommend stopping by for a bite. Delicious food
Lobster roll is very good. Clam chowder salty & gritty.
If you are a in In a rush person. Leave or skip it. This is the place to kick back and relax. Just have a drink and relax.
Anything seafood , you can't go wrong. I love the lobster roll and the fried clams .
Lobster roll . Clam chowder a tad salty & gritty. Deck seats not accessible to wheelchair users.
My steak was wonderful but when i asked for a side other than fries , I was told they could only sub onion rings ...there were a few other potato sides listed with other dishes though, so I was miffed.
Great local beer selection on draft and the seafood was really great.
I love the drinks here good view its fun and the bands r great
Awesome good and atmosphere, sit on the deck !!
The fish tacos are awesome! Blue corn tortillas FTW.
Lobster Roll - best in Maine as far as I'm concerned! :-)
Lobsterman's Breakfast is the way to go.
Great, lively atmosphere on the water
The crispy chicken cutlet sandwich is pretty good, although a bit messy!
Delicious lobster roll . Both, butter and mayo .
Great lobster roll on a brioche bun . Tons of lobster .
Dogs are welcome on the patio .
Was having a good time until their server Joshua said to us "you need to move along because we have a wait" after only being seated for 30 minutes and already ordering two rounds of drinks. Rude jerk.
The service sucks. Didn't try the food because god forbid one of the hachet faced Mainers behind the bar actually ask if you needed anything.
Good food, doesn't look that much different
Lobster and oysters
The lobster roll was bland, the calamari ,$15.00, was over fried , and mixed with fries . Flies buzzing all over the place.
Clam chowdah all day
Wanted lobster ... got lobster !
Cheap beers
Brunch was ok. Nothing too fancy but hearty food
Breakfast sandwich !
This place still needs improvement
Kinda bland, sadly.
Fruit de Mare
Best dive bar in the world. Their food is absolutely amazing every time and the prices are tick bottom. Try the mussels and sweet potato fries. To die for! - Custom Home Care Maine
I love this place, it is one of our go to places. We go 3or4 times a month. Wednesday night wines are half price and the have a solid list. - Joe M
The poutine is awesome and the pork belly sandwich is great. The black n blue burger was ok. - Brian Caton
Good local beer. We always stop here when we're in Portland. They have a mug club if you're a local and I am partial to the copper bar top as far as aesthetics go. - Adelyn
Great music in the evening. Nice beer selection. Bartenders are friendly. - Danielle Dorrie
Any of the fish, amazing!! Definitely one if our favorites. - Conrad Jellison
