Great views and great food! Really ready to order - walk in the door and order from the server to the left (menu on the wall to the right). Take a number and seat yourself anywhere. Food is brought out pretty fast! Views on the back patio porch were beautiful! Food was expensive but worth every bite!

You can't beat the location; this is the perfect spot to hang out with a bite to eat and a cold beer after exploring around on Peaks.We ordered a few different things for eat - all pretty good, gotta appreciate fresh Maine lobster! Biggest downside is depending on when you get there (if there's literally a boatload of people showing up at once off the ferry), it might take a good while for your order to come out.

This restaurant was recommended by a local. Absolutely thee best lobster and shrimp rolls anywhere! The cole slaw has minimal mayonnaise with tart apples added. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Will definitely go back there again.

Could not ask for a better view to enjoy our meal. I went with the brown butter lobster roll and was not disappointed as it was packed with meat and buttery. Prices were slightly higher compared with the main land, but this is to be expected due to cost of getting food to the island.

We had a wonderful time there. They had a live band playing throughout the afternoon. The food were delicious. They have nice sitting area outside by the ocean. The staff were nice and friendly and the food came fast. Fresh lobster .

It’s a pretty confusing setup, they really should have a hostess guiding you.The process is to wander around the establishment until you find a table and then you need another person to guard the table while you go back to order … yikes!However the lobster sandwich Is fantastic and worth the hassle.

Great experience with a whole lobster tail. Jennifer showed me how to eat it and boy what an experience. Would highly recommend making this stop a must as the staff is awesome and the price is great.Now for some whoopie pie.

What an amazing dinner experience! This is a local restaurant with amazing food, supreme views, and fantastic service. We stopped there during a girls trip from Chicago, and couldn’t have been happier. SO WONDERFUL! Clam chowder was as best I’ve ever eaten.

After a long day of exploring Peak Island, this was a nice spot to grab a bite before heading back to Portland. Food was good and had great portions but the drinks were honestly way too watered down for the prices. I had to get a beer because both drinks I ordered were just ice and mixers. It is a little noisy inside but there's a patio outside where you can view the water and boats passing by.

We had the fried clams with onion rings and the chicken tenders with plain fries. The fried clams cost $40 and contained about eight clams. Those eight clams were pretty good. The onion rings were terrible. The chicken tenders were really good. It was a substantial portion. The chicken was perfectly cooked.We also had a pint of the Cole Porter from Atlantic Brewing company. If not for the Cole Porter, this would be a three star review.

No frills beachy vibe option with a great location. Onion rings and clam chowder were both delicious! Great views and conveniently on your right after getting off the ferry.

This is a wonderful island restaurant. They source their lobster from people they know personally. More importantly to me, not eating seafood, they serve excellent fries. Their upper deck does have the absolute best view on Peaks, especially in the evening. A new bar has also opened up downstairs called the Skegg, with a lovely wood-clad interior and access to the beautiful lawn running down to the beach. There are picnic tables, Adirondacks, green grass, and lawn games aplenty. The staff are wonderfully friendly and great at their jobs. Can't recommend it enough!The lawn is also dog friendly.

Lobster tasted great, portions were big, but the fries were a lil too salty and most of the cheese curds of my poutine were cold, not nice and gooey.

Great atmosphere and good food. You need a smart phone to pull up the menu then order and pay. They give you a little lobster buoy with a number for the staff to bring your food

We had an excellent time here before getting on the ferry. We order lobster bisque, crab roll, clam cakes and steamed clams all were great! We also had some of rum buckets which were awesome!

It's two star food in a four star location, so three stars. My recommendation would be to enjoy a beer and the view and get as little food as possible.We had a shrimp roll and it was pretty poor. Tiny little shrimp with lots of coating and not even very many of them. The fries were passable.So much better food back on the mainland.

Amazing burger and lobster roll. The Bloody Mary was also awesome! Amazing view if you sit out back on the water.

Conveniently located next to the port. Great views if you can get a table outside. There is not a lot of restaurants on the island so this place gets pretty busy at lunch time.

We came here solely for the lobster rolls and they lived up to the hype! My friend also loved the clam chowder and said it's one of the best clam chowders she's ever had. They make their own version of a hot toddy if you're going during the colder months. It's also a wonderful place to watch the sunset!

The lobster here are sooooo fresh! There are only 4 restaurants on the island, and this one hit the spot. The restaurant is family owned, and they do it all from managing to serving to actually catching the lobster. Everything is decently priced and so flavorful. We also got a rum bucket that was exactly what we needed while we waited for the ferry back to the mainland. The bartender was super nice and gave us good recommendations as well. I highly recommend the lobster or the lobster roll. The fries were perfect as well. If you come to Peaks Island, don't miss out on this spectacular spot.

We visited this restaurant on Saturday, and it seemed a little chaotic. It was busy first, so the line to order food, was kind of long. The problem was, the line for the food mixed in with the line to order drinks from the bar. No one knew where to go.To order food, you have to pick out the food from the menu in the front, pick a table and then the waitress brings it out.The waitress was friendly, no complaints at all about the service!But the food was not that great. We had fish and chips and the fish was dry. Actually it was dry enough it was kind of hard to cut through the edges. And the fries were soggy. My son's grilled cheese was good though.All in all, I give it a 3 star, because it was ok.
