Food was really good, 1st time trying a lobster roll. According to the rest of my party their haddock dinners were amazing with plenty leftovers. I didn't take a lot of pics but i loved all the rustic details and antique tools displayed on the walls. One thing i will say, we were not impressed with their award winning blueberry pie. It was very soupy and not enough of the crust. Coconut cream pie was awesome though

Absolutely amazing little restaurant. What made it even better was our waitress named Justice. She was a SWEETHEART! The best customer service ever. Very kind and attentive. The whole staff was amazing but Justice made our meal even better with her bubbly and genuine personality. We are visiting from North Carolina and plan to come back tomorrow for dinner.

Stopped by for the pie.. it was amazing, definitely worth trying ! Homemade blueberry pie tends to be tart & not very sweet so be sure to order it with ice cream or whipped cream if you want sweet. Only complaint was the coffee was extremely watery.. almost undrinkable.

Good country food. We had the fried haddock, baked potato, slaw and seafood chowder. We also got a blueberry pie to go. It was all delicious! Pie would have been better heated up, but still good! Great server!

We loved this place. For reasons I can't remember, we didn't really want to try this place while in town on vacation. We decided to go anyway on our 2nd day in town, and even though we went about 3pm, it was packed, and we had a short wait for a table. I got a burger, and my wife got the Philly cheesesteak. I opted for fries instead of the chips (was charged extra). I didn't mind. The fries were excellent, as was the burger. We both really enjoyed our meals. So much so that we ended up going back twice more during our week long stay. All of the food we got was excellent and hot. Their fries are perfect! We did try the blueberry pie, and it was just okay. But neither my wife or I are really pie people. We also go it to go, and I think it would have been much better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We had some cream puffs at our last visit, and they also were just okay. So not crazy about the deserts, but it was definitely our favorite food place in Ellsworth/Hancock. Definitely check it out.

Fantastic find. Service was exceptional. I had the fish tacoc with blackened haddock, and my husband had the pot roast sandwich with onion rings and a cup of haddock chowder, and then we each had a slice of pie. I had the banana split, and he had the keylime pie. All were amazing. We have been in the area since June and just found this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

1st day in Maine, had my lobster roll and potato chips. It was presented well. I'm not big on lobster, so it was ok. Also had the seafood chowder which was prepared well, but light on seasoning. I had to add pepper, which never happens. My wife had the fish and chips. Prep was good, but the tartar sauces was the tastiest part of her meal. Had the coconut creme pie for dessert. It was only slightly sweet. Service was great, lots of options. Just needed a hint more flavor.

I had the prime rib and it was excellent. My wife had Chicken Alfredo and she said it was very good. Service was top notch and very friendly. We escaped Bar Harbor and all the traffic for dinner since it was a holiday weekend.
