Thank goodness because we got the opportunity to tour and buy superfresh quality for such a reasonable price (current $8.99/lbs). After spending $26 for just one lobster roll, we decided to make our own veryrolls using Chipman's Wharf's ! Actually, this experience of making our own lobster rolls was a whole lot more memorable than eating at a restaurant, especially since we are touring Maine -- all thanks to the friendly service and from Chipman's Wharf!

Steamed and sautéed seem to be the primary options. Clam chowder was creamy and clammy, steamed clams were briny and tasty.

First and foremost, the two stars are for the waitress and bartender/waitress who clearly were…read moreoverburdened and still killing it. We ordered the baked lobster dinner and while decent in taste of haddock stuffing in the baked whole lobster and size of it, it took entirely too long (35 minutes) , not because the kitchen was heavy on orders and lean on staff, it was audibly clear that there was way too much fooling around going on and not enough cooking. I worked in the oil and gas industry so cursing starts to become white noise to me, however, I felt uncomfortable for the elderly patrons and children present with all the F-bombs that were being announced from the kitchen and launched at the waitress. Clearly it is a favorite with locals (as evidence in the bar area) and I can see why with how great the servers/bartender are but the wait compounded by the inedible sides (a canned green bean, frozen veg mix with peppers that was intensely bitter and mashed potatoes that were clearly sitting in a warmer for too long just isn't worth a second trip. It was Saturday and apparently besides the slim pickings, everyone rolls up the sidewalk by 7 or 8 respectively so we went there by default, not design.

Big crowd slowed the service at first but the waitress apologized and made up for it with quick and pleasant service once she got to us. Food was really good. Crab Stew was the best crab soup we ever had; chock full with a ton af crab meat and a nice creamy, buttered broth. No potatoes. Lobster Risotto was baked in scallop shells topped with bread crumbs and was delicious. Regular menu included mussels as well as fried seafood and assorted burgers. A tall glass dessert case as you come in was very tempting but with soup, salad and Risotto we were filled to the gills. I wish we had the time to try it again this year.

The inside is straight out of casting for a seafood joint at a fishing town, except that this was all "real" and not decorated. Oh yeah... the food? Generous portions and Mainedelicious!

There was a long line at the door to order but the line moved fairly quickly. After ordering you seat yourself and your food is brought to the table. We sat in the bar area which was very nice. It seemed like all menu items except for lobsters could be ordered from the bar directly so if you are not planning to order a lobster this could help you skip the long line. We had one lobster dinner and one sandwich with a blueberry cider and strawberry rhubarb margarita. The food was great and service was friendly. Prices seem standard for the area.

We got a Large Hot and a Small (regular sized) Classic (cold). The hot is better than the cold, so I'd opt for that over the cold. The Lobster Bisque comes with the standard oyster crackers, but I was actually enjoying this with the kettle chips that came with the lobster rolls! Creamy with nice chunks of lobsters. Definitely a great non-roll option. The Blueberry Pie with Blueberry Ice Cream is the way to go! We got this after finishing our rolls and bisque. It was freshly baked with a crisp crust and lots of blueberries! It was a little sweet for me, but it is an indulgent dessert! Note: the lemonade and unsweetened ice tea are bottled drinks. I am interested in trying the other lobster dishes, so will have to try them out next time!

Seeing it in the distance fills me with an overwhelming sense of excitement as it meant returning to one of my favorite hiking spots in New England (so far) and beginning a weeklong binge on Maine's freshest seafood. I absolutely love this tiny and unassuming (from the outside) seafood market and couldn't wait to be back again this year. Last year, it was the first stop to pick up ingredients for my weeklong visit to Acadia National Park. This year, after a whole year of telling anyone and everyone I knew visiting Acadia, it was once again my first stop after I started driving from Boston. Loaded Lobster Roll - check. Loaded Crab Roll - check. Dorr Hoodie - check. Fresh scallops - check. 5# bag of steamers - check. Calamari salad - check. A pair of lovely fresh and alive lobsters for later - check. Some of the freshest stuff at really competitive prices. What's there not to like? Oh yeah, there is Tim with his super sarcastic sense of humor. A conversation with him just absolutely cracks me up. Super nice dude with a lot of information and makes the overall experience here even better than it already is. I also got to meet the father and son owners during this visit. Always glad to meet the hardworking fishermen behind the amazing product that I've become addicted to.
