    OMG!!! We went twice in a week because this place was so good. Let's start with the pièce de…read morerésistance: lobster nachos. Beyond good -- I was enjoying myself immensely when I saw the little place container in the middle, a tomato sauce which was next level good. The lobster dinner, the fish & chips, and the lobster bisque in the sour dough bread bowl were fabulous. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the gluten free bun on the lobster roll, but otherwise wow! Even the homemade potato slices were great. The ice cream in the boat afterwards when you have no space; all I can say is that you'll find a way. The outside has fun lawn games, and there are heaters amongst the picnic tables. However, it was quite chilly the second visit and we opted to sit inside. The servers were all amazing -- fast, charming, and clearly bought into the location. And I bought their zip up sweatshirt the second time because I want to remember this place!

    This is a lobster tourist trap. Let's not kid ourselves. It…read moreis what it is. But as there is little else around in this sleepy neck of the woods, and you probably just finished a nice day of laborious hiking, you're hungry and willing to pay a bit extra. For all these reasons, this place is hopping. - buy beer at the window - order lobster at a different line - watch the lobsters get boiled in bulk. Be prepared to SHELL out the $$$! There is an interesting operations going on with the lobster staff. One big muscled man boils and pulls out multiple large bucket colanders worth of lobsters, all in a queue. Then the next 2 men shell the lobster with very impressive efficiency. We wondered how much $$ was in each bucket. For the very low overhead -- I wasn't joking about being in the woods, there isn't even a building, it's just outdoor picnic tables, throw away paper plates, no napkins so use paper towels -- the profit margin must be insane. At minimum, they have a clean indoors bathroom so that your hands are not smelling of shellfish on the hour long drive home. That was good. Food was ok. - these are small lobsters. Butter dip was thin. Hot dog bread not toasted - fish was fine - fries better than chips - The most disappointing was the bread bowl. The bar is so high here in New England. It feels like a sin to not have good chowda. We wanted a more crusty sourdough for the bread too. We would have bought pie, cause 'when in Rome,' but the prices were too steep. My good judgement had us stop there. Went to a bakery instead. The staff is a migratory crew. One lady from Jamaica said she works summers here. Others were from different parts of the world too. Kids played corn hole for a bit. Had to leave when the bugs wanted dinner. Overall, know that most everyone is on vacation and in a great mood, which is a ratings inflater.

    My boyfriend and I were visiting Maine and got dinner in SW Harbor, so naturally we wanted to get…read moreice cream after. I couldn't find the menu of flavors/items online nor on any social media so I called the store to ask if they had any vegan flavors. The worker was very nice and told me they had 4 flavors! I do wish they listed flavors online though! We went about an hour before close and luckily got there before a bunch of other people did. My boyfriend is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and while the employee was very helpful with identifying which ice creams had nuts in them (they had a poster on the wall as well as a sheet) we noticed almost every flavor that didn't contain nuts was right next to a nut-containing flavor, which could increase the risk of cross contamination. The employee did wash his hands and the scooper but I wish this spot just separated the nut-containing and nut-free flavors! Very easy switch. I got the vegan blueberry crumble which was super yum, and my boyfriend got the S'mores which he also enjoyed! I did like that there were some sodas/snacks on the shelves and souvenirs too. Overall a good shop but I think it has space to improve! :)

    I owned an ice cream store for 5 years so I learned a lot about ice cream. I stop at stores…read moreeverywhere as I love it. This wasn't only an ice cream store, but they also sold some desserts, snacks, and lots of mugs, etc. I really wanted blueberry ice cream but they didn't have any so I settled on a soft serve swirl. I wanted sugar cone but they said they couldn't do it in a sugar cone. Oh yes you can! You just need to make the swirls more compact so it doesn't get too high. Disappointed they wouldn't do it. The soft serve was decent and the small size was plenty big. Seems like everywhere we have gone in Maine we spend $18 on 2 items.
