    Great fish, not greasy. The lemon dill tater sauce so good. Cash only so be prepared Fish in a dish

    Michael M.

    We've been trying to come to Bet's for about three years, but every time we try, they've sold out of fish and had to close early. This time, we made it! The fish was amazing. I do, however, have two complaints that keep it from getting five stars: first, there was a sign which read, "No French fries today, too hot." I've worked in kitchen. Yes, it gets hot, having to constantly drop fry baskets. But it was barely 80 degrees outside. It was really disappointing to set out for "fish and chips" and discover that there are no chips. Second, there was no price adjustment given for half of the menu being unavailable. A "small fish and chips" (being a 1/2 pound of fish and a side of fries), is the exact same price ($12) as a "small fish in a dish", which is just a 1/2 pound of fish. logically, there should be some sort of difference in price. But, the food was fantastic, the ladies were friendly, and the long line moved very quickly. Hopefully next time they will feel like cooking fries!

    This is a must stop I was first in line for opening up at 11:00 great price huge portion, I had to take some of the haddock off of my sandwich just to get it in my mouth do not skip this gem you will not be disappointed!

    Bets is always your best bet for fried haddock and fries!!! Make sure you bring a big appetite though!!

    Amazing fish!!!

    If you are staying in Boothbay Harbor this place is an absolute must! Worth any line or long travel. The Haddock was incredibly fresh and flaky. Just the right amount of batter. Nice crispy crust. Perfectly tasty fries. Comes with tartar and dill sauce. I am a malt vinegar fan and they put it in spray bottles which makes it easy to coat your fish. Picnic area is nice and clean and offers both sun and shade. If you are anywhere near this place you have to have it. Bet's simply is the best!

    Best fish and chips ever- whole order was $18 but it was the Wednesday of windjammer festival. Whole order comes with two huge fillets- lightly breaded haddock! Plus a bowl of shoestring fries. Was fun to eat here at picnic tables. Shared two orders between the 4 of us.

    Maine is known for lobster rolls, but it should be known for Bet's fish fry. Everything about my fish and fries was absolutely amazing and I'm just devastated we found it just a few days before they close for the season. Can not wait to eat again.

    Does anyone know when Bet's closes for the season?

    Well, I don't know when they official close, but they opened weekends last year during the winter when the the Botanical Gardens had their Christmas Light Show.

I was already in a foul mood, walking in here set me into straight sensory overload. It's a bar where they sing. I am unable to get inebriated enough to enjoy bars where they sing any longer. Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads. C's looked pretty good actually so I am sure her experience was quite different than mine. I hope to never return. '25 - extra
