Fabulous food; everyone in our party loved their meal (from lobster roll to chicken BLT to summer salad, etc.). Our waitress, the daughter of the owner, I believe, seemed genuinely happy to be helping us and was super accommodating to our party of 6 adults & 2 young ones under age 3, even enlisting the help of the older one in setting out silverware & napkins. :) We could not have had a more pleasant experience, so much so that we got take-out there 2 nights later!
We stumbled by accident across The Docksider, after a full day of hiking Acadia park. What a perfect surprise to happen upon! The food is FRESH, locally sourced and delicious. The atmosphere is laid back, staff super friendly, and the quaint bar is perfect! I'd eat here everyday if I lived here!
Best fish and chips I've ever eaten. Fish cooked to perfection and better still was fresh off the boat 2 hours earlier. The mozzarella sticks were such a good quality the cheese stretched so much without being overly hot. Was able to sit outside with my pup while we ate
Super good local spot! You definitely get a bang for your buck. We got the lobster rolls and they were all meat! Very big chunks, it was over flowing with meat. I noticed they had a variety of lobster dinner options that were very reasonably priced and some came with an app and dessert for $27 ! I would recommend this place and would certainly go back.
This place is adorable, the service is stellar and the food is amazing! I ordered a scallop po boy and was super surprised by how big the scallops were and that there were fries, too! The only thing that could have been better would be to saute the scallops instead of beading them and deep frying them!
We were absolutely thrilled to be served lunch at 3 o'clock without any questions. The musical playlist was fabulous. Our server was gracious and accommodating.
Easy and delicious. Had the best steamers of my trip and a delicious crab roll. Everything was incredibly fresh, and on par with the bigger name places.
Good food with friendly staff. Burger was great so is the lobster roll, fish was bit over cooked. Blueberry pie was spot on with very tasty ice cream. Bit expensive and small portion, wait is bit long. Having free wifi is a plus. Not the best you could have in the area but not bad at all.
Great food! Scott the new owner is in the house! (See photo) You can tell by how the staff takes care of you. Very attentive and helpful. Come check this place out! It’s not closed, you will not be disappointed!
The food here was delicious but they have a very limited menu. There was hardly anyone there but we liked it.
Great service and food. Highly recommend the bear sandwich (grilled blueberry bread, honey, cheddar, apples, and blueberry) great vegetarian option! Probably one of the favorite foods I had on my trip. The staff was very friendly and the place has cool vibes and the food was really good. Overall great experience, highly recommend. Ignore the negative reviews, they sound like they’re from stuffy rich people.

"The Docksider" is a true family run local eating establishment. Seemingly a mother and daughter pair took our orders and served us all night. It could be assumed that the mom was enjoying herself since everytime we looked over she could be seen head bopping to the Beyonce music that was being omitted from a speaker in the background somewhere. Onto the food portion of this review... unless it changes just do yourself the favor and order item at the top of the menu sandwich board proped up outside the order window. It should read "Lobster Roll" and if it's not at the top of the menu it doesn't matter because it should be what your getting. Don't give anything else another thought. Price is irrelevant because your gonna need to do what ever it takes to buy one of these bad boys. I don't care if you need to take out a 2nd mortgage on the house, sell the car, cash in some stocks or give away your first born...just do it. What will arrive before you is one heck of a roll. Nicely toasted and buttered ready to go. There is also none of that extra filler material. No lettuce, cabbage, onion, greens of any sort. We are talking straight on lobster in a roll! Now see exhibit "A" of me preparing to consume this bad boy. Notice how the bun is bucking in the middle. Yeah that phenomenon only happens when you load a bun with so much lobster that it's reaching its max tensile strength before tearing in two. It's almost or might be in your best intrest to eat the lobster claw and tail chunks that are over flowing out the top of the roll for fear that they might accidentally hit the deck! As for the fries they were nicely salted and a tasty addition to the roll. Make sure to stop by The Docksider if your visiting this town or hiking near by!
