    I ordered online but the order must not have went through, probably my fault, when I arrived I ordered again and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I ordered salmon with rice and asked what the seasonal vegetable was, I was told broccoli then did a little dance cause I love broccoli. Once I arrived back at the Airbnb I realized I got a salad??? Not broccoli and rice entree I thought I ordered. I looked online and I'm not sure what dish I received. It was good, it had salmon. I didn't get dressing so I ate it dry. I think it may have the potential to be an amazing dish. Does it normally come with a dressing???

    This was special, grab a drink off the specials menu

    What! The Blue Moon has made our weekly favorite list! Great staff, fresh food, FABULOUS FRIES THAT HAVE POTATO SKIN, atmosphere is comfortable and a touch of island music. Grab someone and head over.

    Some photos from my recent visit. The short rib entree was outstanding. The Rasta pasta was yummy but could've been spicier. The tips were great too!

    How often do you find a hot dog on the menu? This one was great

    This was our first trip back to the Blue Mermaid since they relocated from Portsmouth, and I'm glad we gave it a try. Since it was a beautiful evening, we decided to have dinner outdoors on their pleasant and comfortable patio. We did poke inside and the space looked great, so much nicer and bigger than the Portsmouth spot. We had the nicest waitress and service was spot on throughout the meal. Cocktails were delicious and potent. We tried the pretzels and pub cheese and "saddle bags" for starters. Both appetizers were great. Saddle bags are a bit like fried wontons, and the pretzels were warm and delicious. We had mixed results with our entrees. I had the Bahn Mi Hot dog, huge and delicious. It's not often you find a hot dog as a dinner option, so I threw caution to the wind, and glad I did. We also tried the lobster quesadilla, and I suppose we should have known better. At a $15 price point and with lobster prices sky high today, it was really mostly cheese and scant lobster. In fact there were pieces of the quesadilla that had no lobster at all. I think they need to make this a market price item and use a proper amount of lobster, or find a more affordable filling. It was tasty otherwise, but a letdown. All in all, a very pleasant dinner, and glad we made the effort to find them. They are a bit off the beaten path, but worth the trip.

    First time here. And I will be back. Staff was welcoming and pleasant. Interior is so pretty , light and bright. Lunch was served quickly and was delicious. Def a gem in Kittery.

    The poutine was so good and the portion sizes were really large. Everything I ordered was pretty tasty. The viet fish surprisingly had decent flavor. I'd skip the fried chicken. Stars if the show were poutine and salads. The fried cauliflower was not great - too much breading

    Stopped here for lunch one day while stopping over on our way to Acadia National Park. It was pretty good. There were 4 of us. Two of us had the grilled cheese with homemade sweet potato chips(mmm). It was good but i wish i had ordered the Jerk chicken wrap. My friend ordered it (was too spicy for her) and it was awesome! She gave me a piece and id go back just for that!! Someone else had the fish sandwich and said was good but a little well done. We all had water served in a mason jar which we poured into our jelly jar glasses. It was cute but where's the ice? Lol It took over half an hour to get our food, it seemed soo long but maybe because we were all hungry. Service was good though.

He will not refund any money but rather will now offer them free Mac and cheese etc. Clearly does not understand. There is no do over for this special event. This is shameful and I am writing this as he owes our daughter and son in law money...not free food after the event. I do not want this happening to others. this needs to be known. Other vendors at the wedding pivoted and made adjustment. This vendor did not.

    Let me start by saying the food is delightful. While I am far from an expert consumer of this…read morecuisine, I have consistently enjoyed the Jollof rice, the fried plantains, the chicken gizzards, and their goat dishes. The portions are generous and the food is wonderfully spicy. The restaurant is very loud as they play music on a sizable PA system in a relatively small space. I would not recommend eating in for anyone with auditory sensory processing differences. That said, if you're going to eat here, pay cash or go somewhere else. In our last visit (October 2024), my credit card was triple billed for our meal. The staff told us that it was a problem with Square. Cool. I've dealt with Square. Square can be a pain, I get it. Sadly, that was the start of the problem, not its resolution. The receipt they sent me was a completely different order (literally nothing we ordered was on the receipt, the the receipt was for almost twice the cost of our meal). The staff said they'd fix it. Cool. We'll wait. However, after waiting 20 minutes or so for this to be resolved, the staff told us that they were unwilling to wait on hold any longer and that they would follow up the next day. I never got a call. Two days later, I called to follow up as the charges had only been partially reversed. When I called the number staff gave me for follow up, they told me my refund was processed. Looking at my credit card statement, it most definitely was not. They refunded a partial and seemingly random amount, leaving them still having overcharged me by more than $60. The staff person I spoke to, who assured me that they would be available on Monday, said they were too busy to talk and would call me back. They did not call me back. The staff person I have been in contact with has been consistently argumentative. I have consistently been made to feel that I am the problem and am an inconvenience for insisting on accurate, timely correction of the charges. I don't care how good the fried plantains are (and they're really good), they're not worth this much headache. I'll not be going back.

The space has a homey atmosphere with seating in the dining area and a takeout counter. After seeing their small grocery Mart next to Man Yee Express in the Heights, I decided to head to their small restaurant for takeout. I ordered the Banku & Fried Fish ($17 plus tax) and the owner asked me how spicy, referring to the sauce that comes with it. I was given the spicy sauce and the non spicy tomato sauce on the side. My food was ready to go in about 15 minutes. The boxed dinner had a dense balled cornmeal (slight salt flavor) served with fried croaker fish with bones with shredded onion, and pepper on the side and hot & mild sauces on the side. The hot flaky fish needed to be carefully deboned before enjoying. The sauces were great with my food and with the Banku, the dinner was filling to eat. I will keep Maddy's Food Hub on my list of places to stop for a fresh cooked African meal.
