The Baited Hook At Mascoma Lake

My son essentially asks to eat here every day! We are so fortunate to live a short walk down the road from this gem! Not only is it a super fun spot to bring our son to in all seasons, but all the food has been wonderful! There are so many great options whether you are craving some delicious fried food, burgers, or even something like a soup and salad. Can't complain about the ice cream selection either!

I really love this place. Great ice cream, amazing views and very nice people. This is one of my favorite places in the UV. You can go at any season of the year and you will enjoy it. My recommendations are: hamburgers and hot dogs with the coleslaw (btw, the best coleslaw I've ever tried). They also have some offers for the Instagram followers, so if you want to save some money, just check their Instagram account.

Food was pretty good ( a little pricey, that's the only reason it's not 5⭐, and the fish fry could have been cooked a bit longer, the breading got soggy). Good size portions. Very fresh! Coleslaw and fries were the best parts ( not pictured). But THE VIEW is unbeatable! Will probably be back to try some of their other dishes!

The new owners of the Hook have made some amazing improvements!! First, the menu - the selection is great for the venue. Exactly what you would expect, but higher quality food and great selection. Some of it is locally sourced too. Second - the staff is always so friendly and willing to help. Third - the technology & POS system is state of the art with pagers and digital screens. Fourth - the atmosphere is SO cool! There are multiple options for seating...inside, window seating, picnic tables, rockers, benches and even some grounded boats! It's a theme-like setting with great tunes throughout. The new Hook is the regular spot if you are local. If you are traveling, it's the new destination!

The only commercial restaurant on the lake, the Baited Hook is a family owned and operated restaurant featuring Lobster, Whole-belly clams, Robbie Farms burgers, ice cream and a host of other options. The environment is friendly and the food I’ve sampled is delicious! Parking can be limited but you can easily park across the road, and there’s even boat docks for access from the water. Highly recommend if you are spending a day in Mascoma Lake.

My wife and I are there on a Saturday night. A little busy but not excessively so. Food was mediocre, I had fish and chips. The fish was overcooked and dark. My wife had a sandwich that was ok but the roll was dry like it was old. Both our orders required us to return to the counter to get them put together correctly. I did not receive tartar sauce or lemons they had asked me if I wanted when ordering. My wife's club sandwich was incomplete, missing bacon and dressing. Considering they have counter service only, the $47.00 cost for food served in a plastic basket seemed higher than I expected, especially when the order was not even made properly. While at the restaurant I observed staff having to correct orders at 3 other tables because of similar issues with incomplete or wrong items with an order. I have been visiting the Baited Hook for over 50 years, but I don't believe I will bother going again based on this experience.

Great meal at a reasonable price. We had a lovely table overlooking Mascoma Lake. The food is basic but delicious. They do a few things and they do them VERY well. The scallop dinner was excellent. The scallops had a light batter and were perfectly cooked. The shrimp dinner. Was equally good with large flavorful shrimp. Bonus: The young man who took our order was very thorough and professional. He kept himself busy cleaning tables a keeping the restaurant picked up. A nice change from teenagers playing with their phones at work.
