This is the most amazing place! Kristin is wonderful and the food is spectacular. We go every year and we are always wowed at the lobster roll and lobster stew. The seafood is fresh and amazing. The service is awesome. It's worth the drive from Nova Scotia. read more

Jameson Tavern Restaurant - Lobster stew and lobster roll - perfect meal!! - Seafood Near Me - Freeport, Maine

Fried clams were grossly overcooked. This was not the first time. Still one of the better places in Freeport just beware of fried food

Loud not a lot of space between tables. Clam chowder was very good. Service was poor I had to ask another table to share the mustard as our food was getting cold waiting. Clams were very hard to chew. WORST Prime Rib ever! read more

My wife and I arrived at 7:45 with a sign that said they were open, but the waitress, with 2 waters on her way to a table she just seated said they stopped seating. 'We changed our hours'. Bye bye... read more

What's to say about an old tavern? Good food and awesome service! The place gets to be a little loud at times since they're usually packed.

The wait wasn't bad. We had New England clam chowder, the prime rib, and fried clams. No leftovers! We were all pretty happy! The service was great. Would I return? Most likely! Wish I took pics! So I guess there will be a next time then.. read more

I think this place did a really nice job of dealing with what's been thrown at them as far as covid. They had masks and hand sanitizer for people to use. I got the Colonel clanks pasta and it was so good. my mom got the lobster roll and that it was delicious with the clam chowder and that was good and not too bad of a price. however she also got a blueberry pie and it was $8 for a small slice Was the only downfall read more

First-time patrons. Quaint atmosphere in an old tavern-type restaurant. Lunch was very good. Waitress was friendly and served us well.

Should have ate here last night. Stopped for a nitecap and got to watch the most wonderful food being served. My expresso martini was the best. Blueberry pie was excellent. Waitress "KayKay" was the best. Will be back for a real meal. read more

Really good bar service. Super friendly and attentive. A bit pricey for touristy food but good lunch specials and happy hour.

I had a fresh Maine lobster. The service was very good. My friend and I were on a short over night trip to Freeport to shop in the outlets. Our meals were good. I had a cocktail and it was served promptly and to my liking. We sat outside on the terrace. The atmosphere and the ambiance were absolutely enchanting. read more

As someone who eats gluten-free it is rare to find fish and chip options. Jameson Tavern offers this AND it was well made... fresh fish, delicious gluten-free bread crumbs (nice and crunchy), and a generous portion. My partner loved his baked haddock, full of gluten :-) Both of our side salads were freshly made and good sized as well. The wait staff was pleasant and it was a beautiful day to eat outside. What's not to love! We will definitely be back. read more

Stumbled into this restaurant by accident/pure chance. Hostess and waitress were excellent. Good recommendations by the waitress...the seafood chowder was off the charts good. Lobster roll was as good as any. Definitely would repeat! FYI...they look like they have some spectacular desserts. We did not try but holy!! read more

Delicious food, pretty reasonable price, kind staff! Also ceey conveniently located near the shopping center. The patio was really nice!

Very local. Very reasonable. Very delicious. Our server KK was upbeat, bubbly and eager to explain the specials and menu to a tee. I had the Scallop special which was soooooo fricken good and the wife had the dinner combo which she raved about. if your in the Freeport Maine area, pop in for a pleasurable meal and time. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere, large servings and the price is right. Next door to LL Bean a great stop for a shopping break.

5 stars on atmosphere, food, location and most of all the Service! Amazing employees who make you feel right at home and the best seafood in all of downtown Freeport! read more

Solid fare. We wanted fresh air and they have a reasonable amount of outdoor seating. Fried clams for me and salmon for my wife. Both done very nicely. Their bottles of house wine are priced ridiculously well - barely more than buying it at a wine store. Wait staff was friendly and there was no rush to finish. An excellent start to our stay in Freeport. read more

First time at this bar, but the long line out the door told me the food and time would be well worth the wait! Of course from the front door to the bartender the arrive far exceeded my expectations and was Great! Sat at the bar and ordered a drink and the bartender Charlene was great! I ordered on her recommendations and received stuffed scallops and had a cup of lobster bisque, words cant describe how GREAT the food was so just look at the pictures and must say this is a spot that must be visited if you have not been! Five stars! read more

What a wonderful meal I had! Baked stuffed haddock cooked to perfection with the fish flakey and moist. Fingerling potato's and broccoli that was that the best broccoli I have ever had (I don't know what they flavored it with or how thy cooked it but it was delicious). Our waitress was attentive but not overly so despite how busy she was. read more

Nice old time tavern, the oldest in New England according to their plaque. Quite a variety of food at remarkably reasonable priced considering the location and history of the Tavern. Good beer selection to including some from Vermont. We were lucky that we got in jut prior to the rush. I imagine that in the tourist season it's impossible to get a table. Seafood was crispy on the outside, well cooked but not soggy inside. Fries were the shoestring variety and were neither soggy nor crunchy - just about perfect. Overall it was the best seafood I've had since last summer. read more

Delicious dinner! We split the baked scallops appetizer. & I had the baked haddock. Service was fast and efficient. Saturday evening, we were told a 25 minute wait so ordered drinks at the bar, & were seated before we had more than a few sips. The restaurant is small and was quite crowded but cheerful. read more

We stopped in here on Saturday afternoon during the fall festival. It was very busy, which we expected it to be, so we had no issues with the time spent waiting for anything. I had been here before and had recommended this place because my meals have always been very good. The reason for my lower rating is based on the quantity of food that we received. We asked what the market price on the lobster roll was and told $36. There was a lunch special that included the lobster roll with a cup of chowder for $29. Our server told us that the lunch special typically had less lobster in the roll, so we decided to go with the regular lobster roll and a side of sweet potato fries We were all incredibly disappointed in the amount of lobster meat in the lobster rolls. There was a single layer of lobster in each roll. I had approximately five small pieces of lobster. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Then when the bill came, we were actually charged $39 for the lobster roll. I think we were still shocked at the size of the lobster roll, so we didn't think to say anything at the time about the price discrepancy between what we were quoted and what we ended up being charged. And so we own that piece of it. But to charge that type of money for such a small quantity of lobster was just wrong. That was not my first lobster roll this summer in Maine as I live here. I paid half of that price and received about three times the meat at a restaurant in Northeast Harbor. Prior to our meal, we were discussing how we wouldn't need dinner because our lunch was later, approximately 3 PM. Because we received so little food, we actually ended up having dinner only a few hours later. The Jameson Tavern is a typical go to for me when I'm in Freeport. Based on the experience, I will be seriously considering other dining establishments in the future. read more

Great food and great service. Very wonderful place for a meal. It was small and quaint and had a family atmosphere

I always pick Jameson's if I am traveling through Freeport. Right across the way from Beans, we were lucky enough to come on a beautiful afternoon and sit at the patio. My boyfriend and I had hiked Bradbury Mountain earlier that day, so we were SUPER hangry. They have a great tap selection, by the way. I had the Cheeseburger, and subbed for sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked just to my liking, and the potato was crispy and flavorful. My boyfriend had the Seafood Platter-a gracious portion of scallops, shrimp, etc. fries over a bed of fries. It was one of the few times we received such large portions and didn't get boxes-we enjoyed our lunches so much! Definitely recommend this place. read more

The very best of everything...FOOD, SERVICE, And DRINKS!! Our waitress was a rockstar (can't remember her name). The atmosphere was inviting and we had a lovely evening. Did I mention the popovers???? You'll need to go see for yourself read more

Stopped by for a bite before shopping. How great to have a great French onion soup and a delicious salad! The food was only surpassed by the warm and inviting staff. There is something really wonderful to see a crew who work so well together and are welcoming to you as a passerby!! read more

I love stopping here every time I am in Freeport! The food is great, the atmosphere is perfect, and the service is amazing! Of course around the holidays it does get pretty busy, Freeport has a lot of things going on around town. My suggestion is to get the lobster roll and clam chowder.. both are AMAZING! Perfect combo! I was able to grab a seat at the bar and it was great! The drinks are made perfect as well. This is a must stop restaurant if you are in Freeport! read more

was excited to treat myself to bake stuffed haddock, one of my favorite meals. If you were out of haddock, you should've told me and I would've ordered something else. Was served an extremely small, thin piece of haddock that was wrapped around some flavorless stuffing that was topped with overpowering Newburgh sauce. Trying to cover up your mistake with sauce? It didn't work I will not be returning. read more

Baxter stowaway IPA was decent enough. Great staff and very comfortable outdoor seating. It was a nice getaway from shopping and everyone seemed to be having a great time. We've been here a few times and it's always very good. read more

the food was over priced and not very good. The portions were small. The haddock seemed old. Very disappointing.

Really, really good food, favorable and good size portions. Highly recommend that you dine here. I enjoyed the scallop salad. read more

Family came to Freeport to visit LL BEAN. After several hours, it was time for dinner. Searching on google for restaurant/dinner options, this place was listed as number one. Convinced, we stopped in for a bite and brew; boy are we glad we did!! From Fish & Chips (not listed on the menu), Crab Melt sandwich, Scallop Roll and Haddock Sandwich... there were no leftovers; it was that good!! We had our baby with us, and the manager was more than accommodating to help us out with a booster seat and suitable location for our stroller. I would mos def come back to this location! read more

We walked in to the restaurant at 6:53 to have two other couples in front of us. When my wife approached the hostess she was told that the two couples in front of us were the last 2 tables of the night and we needed to go elsewhere. I realize they close at 8:00, but this absolutely ridiculous. read more

We found this place via Yelp when passing through Freeport. It was such a great little find. I got the lobster roll & clam chowder combo for $25.99, which is a good deal considering the fact that several other places we tried charged $28.99 just for a lobster roll itself. The lobster roll was chock full of lobster meat. My wife ordered the lobster stew and said it was the best lobster soup of any kind that she's had in her life. Like my lobster roll, the stew was chock full of lobster meat. They had over a dozen local beers on tap and let me taste several to decide on the one that I wanted to order. The servers and hostess were all very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Jameson and hope to return if we're ever in the Freeport area again. read more

Really good food! We got the daily special because that was great value, a lobster roll and clam chowder, and a large bowl of the lobster stew. It was creamy and full of lobster, definitely worth it. The only annoying thing is that this place was super busy for lunch on a Saturday so there was a bit of a wait but worth it. We also got the sit outside with our two dogs. read more

Been to Jameson's many times, dishes are usually flavorful & filling. Staff friendliness is so so. Pretty small & dark inside but it's nice in the summer. Loved the baked stuffed scallops & onion rings, even the coleslaw I had to finish. I came in just before 8pm & as soon as I sat down at the bar, the bartender asked me if I was having anything to eat. Although at that time I hadn't thought of it yet, so I replied I wasn't sure. It was clear the bartender was irritated with the way she sighed as she put the menu down in front of me with her lips clasped shut as if she had to do that in order to not say the wrong thing... Whatever, brushed it off, probably had a long day but there was other people there so it wasn't like she was closing early... Jameson's Tavern is a jem- their staff could be a little friendlier to make the experience that much better. read more

A great tavern atmosphere. The food was delicious. I ordered the special: a lobster roll and chowder. The chowder was the way I like it, not a lot of potatoes, creamy but not too thick and a good amount of clams. My husband had the fried seafood: whole clams, haddock, and scallops - all excellent. The scallops were the best I've had in a long a time. Servers were very friendly. read more

The best clam chowder soup you'll ever have. Or at least I've ever had! So creamy! You have to try it.
