Ambiance: A casual eatery that was plenty busy! We waited about 10-15 minutes for a table of 2. We were able to put our name down with the host and walk around town until our table was ready. They will text you when a table comes available. Food: The lobster rolls here were pretty amazing! At this point of our trip we've tried a few spots. This place was really good and thankfully, not as big of a "tourist trap" as I expected since at least the food was good! read more

1st time here: we decided to split the Chicken Gervis sandwich (basically a Nashville Hot chicken fried ) for $19.95 with great cold slaw and ice cold beer and a Lemon Chive Lobster roll ($33.95) with mayo tasting like lemon and chives. The Winner was the Chicken sandwich with fries and pickles. The lobster roll with mayonnaise was tender, but didn't go anywhere near a squeezed lemon and never saw a chive. On a side commentary- I've been coming to Ogunquit to different restaurants for 4 years and have yet to have outstanding sweet lobster roll. Ice cold beer, good service and a nice atmosphere Don't get me wrong - but you spend over $25 for a lobster roll it should knock your socks off. read more

**** Basic menu, great cocktails and friendly staff. Cozy warm -- open in the winter. We had the fresh haddock. Thank you. (; Denise Patnod, Cambridge read more

Order a cup of chowder, the lobster roll trio, and a piece of blueberry pie. You will not be disappointed. Chowder was really good. The rolls were all great but the lemon/chive was my favorite. Blueberry pie was a little too sweet but the great crust made up for that. Service was good and food came out quickly. Smaller space but laid out well with room to move around. read more

Beyond delicious food and fabulous service. Everything was delicious and the lobster was so well prepared. The lemon chive lobster roll was next level and lemon wasn't overpowering. Flatbreads and wings were delicious and kids liked the variety for them on the menu. And the highlight of the menu is the Lobster Poutine - which is smothered in lobster bisque. OMG. It's beyond words. Service was super attentive and helpful and I loved that it's very quiet so we could all talk and enjoy each other. We will be back. LOVE this place. read more

Last resort dinner after a long day of traveling for two picky eaters- of course I am sure the lobster and other options were great, but the only thing that sounded appealing that night was the Caesar salad. Decent salad, but lettuce was not chopped up well and croutons were not tasty. Other than that, service was great and the restaurant was clean. read more

We were a party of five and got seated right away, which was great. It was quite hot inside, but the staff was very kind, attentive, and quick with our orders. We had a mix of salads, sandwiches, fried pickles, and lobster rolls for lunch. Everything was fine, nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. The prices were on the higher side, $30 for a Caesar salad with grilled chicken and fries, which felt a little steep for casual lunch. The portion sizes were pretty large, and the food was fresh and well-prepared. read more

What a great experience!! My girlfriends and I were on a weekend trip together to Peaks Island and rented a car to go exploring. Kennebunkport was super adorable, and we were starving. Alisson's was the perfect spot to stop for lunch! We ordered... probably everything! I ordered the lemon chive lobster roll which was delicious! Our server, Christopher, was super attentive. We were a larger group, and he did a great job keeping everything straight for all of us :) If I'm back in town, I'll definitely go back! read more

Walked from our village inn to this restaurant for dinner last night. It was so good! Nice atmosphere. Huge credit for the comfy chairs at our table. Our waitress was upbeat and helpful. My hubs had the fish n chip plate and I had the fish sandwich with fries. Servings were not only delicious, they were also generous portions. The fish is lightly breaded which we both prefer. Highly recommend this place. read more

The service was great! Tacos were a very good size! And tasted yummy, just wish they had an option for for fried fish! The combo of lobster roll + soup + side is AMAZING and so worth it. You get the best of both worlds! However my lobster was cold.. I wish I would've known that, the bun was warm though. Not a fan of the pieces of lettuce. I didn't get the Mayo and opted for the butter! Fries were crunchy and a good amount of salt. read more

I visited Alisson's Restaurant during the Maine Day Ventures Foodie Tour. My friend and I were looking forward to dining here since we tried lobster at other locations in Kennebunkport. Our tour specifically covered lobster rolls. Alisson's delivered when it came to the variety of lobster roll choices. They offered three options. These included the traditional lobster roll, the lemon garlic lobster roll, and the lobster chowder roll. We ordered the traditional and lobster chowder rolls. I was so impressed with the serving size of the rolls. We had so much lobster meat as well as a hefty side of fries. Other side options included chips or Cole slaw. The pickles were amazing. I could've totally ate more. Friendly service and a large restaurant with available upstairs seating. Definitely check this place out. Alisson's gets an A+ for its lobster rolls. read more

One of the best meals of our life. Outstanding lobster roll! Choose from 4 types: classic with mayo, lobster bisque, lemon chive, or picnic style with cole slaw. I did lobster bisque on the side butter on side and it was delicious! Great clam chowder, plus crispy fries, not sad soggy sidekicks. Hubs enjoyed a very hard to find beer the Pliny the Elder IPA - elusive to us Virginians. I had a perfect pineapple margarita made with fresh pineapple juice which made all the difference. AND THE CHAIRS! So comfortable - like leather pillows for your tired of traveling bottom and back, not some wire or wood gauging your soul hoping you'll turn the table quickly from the pain lol. Shelby has been there 7 years and is an outstanding, attentive and friendly server we just adored! Alissons is located right in the heart of walkable, charming downtown Kennebunk. We will always stop here and are grateful for the rec from a local we met just outside the Kennebunk Inn! read more

You don't think 1,000 reviews would lie to you, do you? As someone who lives far from any coast, I am admittedly not refined in my lobster tasting skills. However, after spending a week bouncing along the coast of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, I think I might be growing a claw of my own. We had a lot of lobster on this trip - as one should - and I can confidently say the lobster rolls at Alisson's were #1. Better even than some at highly rated lobster pounds on the water. We had to wait ~30mins for a table, but I would wait 30 days if I can get these lobster rolls again. Server was friendly and helpful, and the place is spacious with an upstairs dining section as well. Also ordered some potato salad, since y'all reviewers said it was so good. Turns out you didn't lie about that, either. Would recommend. Stop reading, just go eat here. read more

We love walking through Kennebunkport and needed a place for lunch. We checked out some places and Alissons seemed to have the best menu. They had more food choices than other restaurants we looked at. It's clean, comfortable and the waitress we had was very nice and attentive. I wanted the hamburger and it was very good. My daughter had the lobster roll. It was very good too. We started with the clam Chowder. It was made different from others I've had. It was buttery, not creamy. Not sure if I would like it. I was wrong. It was very tasty! So happy I tried it. I am glad I came and will come back when in town again. You cannot go wrong! read more

We stopped in for lunch at Alissons, a classic eatery in downtown Kennebunkport. I had been eyeing this place for a few years now, however whenever I would visit they would be closed for off-season--luckily this time they were open!! The outside has a rustic look, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how freshly renovated the inside was. They offer upstairs seating as well as downstairs, featuring a bar and many booths. I started with a cup of clam chowder which was super tasty. It was a little thick with a buttery taste. I also ordered the classic Maine Lobster Roll with coleslaw. The roll was buttery and the lobster was packed with mayo, making it super flavorful. The coleslaw was also super tasty and a good portion. On the side it came with dill pickles which I really enjoyed. Overall it was a great place for lunch after checking out all the local shops! read more

We were in KPT off season and many places are closed, but Alisson's was open and ready to serve us lunch. We were with some friends who follow a gluten free diet, and this restaurant has a GF menu specifically for those with that need. The restaurant has been around for a long time, and the hostess greeted us with a big smile and chose a window table upstairs for us. Nice view of Dock Square. We found service to be very friendly and efficient. I had a crab grilled cheese sandwich which was delicious. Generous portion of crab with cheese on a perfectly grilled sandwich. I chose the fries as a side, and I know I am very fussy about fries, and sadly these were weak. They were not fresh out of the fryer unfortunately and a bit soggy and limp. I also asked for a side of the deviled egg potato salad, which seemed to have lots of potential. I think it would have been a hit with me if the potatoes had been cooked just a tad longer for a softer bite. Everybody else at the table really enjoyed their choices. Nice drink menu, and one of the largest selctions of Bourbon I've ever seen! Overall a very nice and enjoyable lunch read more

Went here on 8/27/2025 We were apart to 10 guests. Waitress was wonderful. I booked a restaurant online and had requested a room on the ground floor when we arrived we waited five minutes and we were accommodated without any issues. The waitress is very attentive got our drinks sorted and appetizers. Dinner was served on time and delicious. For Husband, I had the white chocolate cake with strawberry filling, said it was delicious and my granddaughter had vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It made her day. I definitely would recommend reservations but even with reservations we didn't wait for 10 minutes and we were seated. Definite will be back here in the near future. read more

The fried haddock was excellent! Lightly breaded and deliciously seasoned, comes on "chunks." Light, crispy and flaky.

We had a delightful dining experience at Alisson's last week. This is an appealing restaurant, good-sized with an attractive bar area and plenty of comfy seating. The service is good, and the menu items are pretty reasonably priced especially when compared to some neighboring establishments. We had a very tasty, thick lobster bisque, the best we had during our trip to Maine, along with a large and delicious Southwest Salad with grilled chicken and a Caesar Salad. Add in a slightly spicy Bloody Mary and you've got a first-rate lunch. Our server Kelly was very efficient and friendly. Prices? The bowl of bisque was #22, the salads $20 and $22. We felt all were worth it. read more

Went here the other weekend looking for a quick dinner and found Allison's. The place is spacious and right by the water. Menu is fairly large and the prices are relatively fair for the quality of lobster. Service was great and the food came out fast. We got the large lobster roll and the lobster roll flight. The lobster rolls are large and for the price it's a great deal. I would highly recommend the flight. For the price you get a ton of lobster as the small rolls still aren't that small. My favorite one on the flight was the lobster bisque lobster roll! It's was delicious and the bisque on top adds so much flavor and creaminess. If you're in the area and looking for good priced Maine lobster definitely check this place out! read more

A great lunch stop after a morning of playing pickleball in Biddeford. Found parking on the street right in front of the restaurant and our group of six were quickly seated upstairs. Drink orders were taken quickly followed by lobster bisque and clam chowder starters. All delicious! Mains ordered were: steamed mussels, fred clam strips, crabby lee miller (crab melt) and two orders of A Fish Called Wanda (haddock). Wow, all the food was excellent matched with quick attentive service. Kudos to the kitchen and wait stuff. read more

Joined the waitlist a couple hours before wanting to eat (this was during prelude) & got in right at dinner time. We were sat upstairs, although downstairs looked much cozier & would've preferred to sit down there but had a nice view of the christmas tree from upstairs which was nice. Service was just okay although very busy so understandable. Food was great, I got the lobster bisque which was delicious and the baby fried shrimp which was also great and a huge portion so could definitely be a shared meal. Would come back again in the summer! read more

I have been to Allisons many times over the last 10 years. I usually stick with the Lobster roll; However, I dared to try something different last night April 12, 2026. I tried the Seafood Risotto. This was the best meal ever. The Seafood was plentiful, especially the Lobster, full lobster tail and several full claws of lobster meat.,3 Jumbo shrimp and at least 5 scallops and 8 mussels. The Risotto delicious. If you like Seafood, you will love this. The price was worth it at 39.95. You will not be disappointed. read more
