On the water sits a food truck with seafood and burgers with the chips or french fries on the side with a sour pickle. My son had the burger and said it was very good, myself and my other son had the shrimp roll, very good. The service was great and the ambiance, well... you're on the water, sitting at tables eating your food with great company. A mom couldn't ask for more! Look this place up in Harpswell, you'll be glad you did. And while you're there, enjoy your company, enjoy your food and enjoy the view.

The food was DELICIOUS. Though quite EXPENSIVE: 33$ one 1/4 lobster roll. The service was fine, and…read moreI will come here next time

I liked that they had potatoes in them. The fries were cooked perfectly to well done as I like it. Next time I'll tell them no salt. My mom got the crab roll sandwich with home made chips. Again best to tell them no extra salt. The ambiance was wonderful. Comfortable picnic tables outside with a nice view of the water Staff was great. Especially Elizabeth who really helped me decide what to order. I'm saving this place in my phone and will Come back again!

A lot of reviews are from people who came here because they didn't want to wait in the long line for the place across the street and they said the lobster roll here was good. We wanted our review to be fully informed, so we got a lobster roll here and we also got one from the place across the street. While the line across the street is absurdly and unnecessarily long, we've determined now that that place is famous for a reason. Prices are the same, high $30s. The actual lobster was fine at Sprague's, comparable to the place across the street. The butter though was not even a competition. I don't know how they do it, but the butter from the place across the street was just so much better. Sprague's butter just did nothing for the lobster roll. It was clear and just looked like clarified butter. Do with this information what you will.

Cooks (lobster & ale house) is a pure staple of the baileys island community, a great place for a…read morenice lunch and early dinner, my first experience of cooks was like 12/13 years ago , we took a Casco bay summer island cruise that we departed from Portland, scenic views beyond belief, the cruise would end up at cooks (baileys island) for lunch , unfortunately it stopped during Covid and never restarted again, so recently me and my beautiful wife went to look at a boat for sale in the area and we decided on cooks for lunch , the place for a Wednesday was pretty busy and sit in restaurant , we shared a couple of appetizers, Scallops wrapped in bacon with a sweet Maple sauce incredible would be a understatement for these , we also had the calamari, also lovely and we shared the haddock sandwich and we were so full leaving.. I never mentioned that our waitress was also as good the food, I believe her name was Tanner she was so helpful, sweet and had a great mannerism too , I also made it a point to tell her coworkers to tell their manager of how great our waitress was, it's hard nowadays to find someone who goes above and beyond doing her job, 5 stars for your work .. Thanks Again Cooks we love coming back to this area. Certainly worth the visit.. you'll all thank me later, Noel

Our annual Maine vacation was underway! We made plans to stop in Boothbay for a a few days before…read moreheading to Northern Maine. So our dinner stop before heading to Boothbay was Five Islands Lobster. We arrived around 4pm, just before a dinner rush. Parking is tight, but you make do. I was able to find a spot to accommodate my care and the small packing trailer on the hitch. Once we were parked we made our way to the buildings. The one building you order your lobster, another building you order other items. It was a very easy and simple process. Between all of us there was so much lobster and other fine dining options. The lobster was fresh and sweet. It was very delicious. The lobster came with corn and potatoes. The butter was perfect! It had that foaming too I love! My husband enjoyed his fried haddock sandwich and the fried scallops. He raved about the fried scallops. The staff were great. They were kind, helpful and hard working. The view was stunning. I saw a loon and was able to adventure on the rocks during low tide. Overall this was a beautiful spot to start our Maine vacation. I highly recommend checking out Five Islands Lobster

Five Islands Lobster is a must when visiting Maine. We made our way up from Massachusetts and we…read morewere not disappointed after passing other stands along the way. We ordered 2 2lb lobsters, onion rings, and fried oysters. The lobster meat came right out of the shell (shout out to some man on the dock who helped us Marylanders with some verbal direction) and were full and flavorful! We are big crab eaters but it takes about 6 or more XL crabs to feel as full as we did with one lobster! The onion rings and oysters were perfectly fried and just as delicious. The oysters came with fries (which explains the ketchup) as well and all were large portions. It was the perfect location too! Not noisy, beautiful scenery, and just all around a great atmosphere.
