Big open space with beautiful waterfront views, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Handwashing sinks around the outdoor seating area for before and after your handhelds. Lobster roll with mayo is phenomenal, great portions and some of the best claw meat I have ever tasted. Service is very quick and kind. Our airbnb was a few minutes down the road from Archies and we went almost every day of our trip! Could not get enough!

We stumbled on Archie's hunting for an early dinner on the Quietside, about five minutes from the…read moreWonderland trail, and it turned out to be a great find. It's a fisherman-owned shack right on the bay -- informal, friendly, and exactly the kind of unpretentious Maine spot you hope to run into. Honestly, everything we ordered was excellent, so it's hard to single out just one thing. The hot-butter lobster roll was soft, fresh, and generous -- better than the other lobster rolls we'd had on the trip (I paid a little extra for hot butter over the cold/mayo version and would do it again). The lobster empanadas were a nice surprise: crispy from being fried, and while there's some filler beyond the lobster, the meat-to-filling ratio is good and the added flavor works -- I'd order those again. The clam chowder was rich and creamy without being gluey. Bonus points for the kids: a Lego play table kept ours happily occupied, and they did simple cheese quesadillas the kids actually ate. I also had a Pulp Truck IPA from Marsh Island Brewing -- which is what we would call a "Hazy IPA" or "New England IPA" on the West Coast, but here is simply an IPA. Regardless, it was quite good. We'd would definitely eat here again.

I tried the Caprese Lobster Flatbread which was very flavorful and had small bits of shredded lobster. Additionally, the lemon butter lobster roll was delicious, it had a good amount of lobster and the butter sauce was yummy! Drinks were unique and refreshing!

It didn't have a super strong sweet flavor I liked how the sauces were all put on the side and allowed you to customize how much to put on the lobster. My favorite was the lemon butter because it was creamy and that helped the sauce stick on the lobster. There wasn't a super strong lemon flavor but you could taste it. My next flavor is the firecracker but I thought it had a gingery taste that I didn't think paired super well otherwise. The garlic butter is what you expect (garlic on the bottom and butter on top).

Sweet little spot with tables overlooking some water and a big yard with a yard game (which is amazing because my kids could play while I ate).

We arrived before the restaurant opened, and there was a line formed outside the door. Thankfully,…read moreit wasn't super long but it's clear the restaurant definitely has a following: I imagine the line and wait can be long at times! I ordered the "mussel dinner," which included 1lb of mussels with corn on the cob, cole slaw, hot dinner roll, and blueberry cake for $17.50. This is an excellent price for everything aforementioned! It was more than I could finish in one sitting for lunch. I enjoyed the steamed mussels, which were naturally sweet and easy to eat from the shell. There was no sand/grit as far as I could tell, and the mussels looked and tasted very fresh. I appreciated the roll was served hot in aluminum foil, and the corn and slaw were both tasty and prepared expertly. The blueberry cake was essentially a moist and not-too-sweet coffee cake. The restaurant is "cafeteria style". Once you enter, customers will make their order at the counter and pay the cashier (cash and credit are both accepted). You will receive a table number and it is self-seating with options both inside and outside. On windier days, it's highly recommended to sit inside: we saw folks struggling with the sun umbrellas the day we visited. The restaurant abuts the water, so you'll get a great view either way.

It was a mild chilly evening, just enough seats outside, and friendly people walking around to deliver food and clean up. Got the food amazingly fast! The lazy lobster was more than enough for me. No clue on how much they serve you, but i felt i got my moneys worth. Would totally go back! Cash discount

Sweet Baby Jesus. If…read moreyou're the sort of person who requires cloth napkins, tasteful lighting and a waiter named Chad who explains the provenance of every pea on your plate, don't go here. But if you want honest food at today's prices, pull up a chair. The lobster roll was a revelation. Not that mayonnaise-based lobster purée somebody scraped out of a tub and smeared onto a bun that had been sitting around since the Carter administration. This was real chunks of lobster, lightly seasoned, piled onto a fresh roll and left alone to taste like lobster. Then came the steamers. Sweet mercy. Those steamers were the best thing I have tasted since 1974, and I'm not entirely sure what happened in 1974, but apparently somebody knew how to steam a clam. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive and without the usual modern-day restaurant ritual of wondering whether your server has forgotten you exist. The décor? Let's just say aging fish camp chic. If you're looking for polished brass and a chandelier imported from France, keep driving. If you want the feeling that somebody might walk in carrying a cooler full of flounder, you're home. For the love of all that is holy, give this place a try. Come hungry. Leave happy. And if you encounter a cloth napkin, somebody has probably made a terrible mistake

You'll eventually wind up at TIMS. They have all the staples: milk, eggs, cereal, meats, cheeses, eggs, veggies, etc. Be forewarned, 90% of the items don't have prices on them. I guess they want you to have sticker shock when you check out. To be honest, it's more like cardiac arrest depending on how much shopping you need to do. The lady in front of me had a bag of stuff in one hand and a gallon of milk in the other and she walked out $75 lighter than when she entered. Small price to pay I suppose when hunger is your next closest alternative. Overall, if Andy Griffith's Mayberry had a 7-11, TIMS would be the mirror image of it with the added benefit of being able to purchase live seafood. Bonus: They have ice cream. An extra star just for that.

We had the seafood chowder, fried clams, and haddock bites. The chowder was okay; I prefer it to be a little thicker, but the taste was delicious.

And you can never go wrong with whole belly clams. The lady serving us was really friendly. And BTW, this place has the cleanest restroom I've ever seen in a restaurant.

I saw this place when we first got to Maine and never forgot about it because I am a giant soft serve fan and they boast 24 different flavors of soft serve!!!! This was our 4th and last stop on our Maine Ice Cream Trek and it did not disappoint. After very long and drawn out deliberation, I decided to try the English Toffee flavor and my wife got the Dragon's Blood soft serve flavor. Both were so good but that Dragon's Blood was out of this world!! I had never had the flavor before and it blew my mind. We also got fries to make sure we made it home to eat and they were the best fries we had in Maine for our entire trip and my wife LOVES fries so that's a very nice compliment. We almost ordered a second serving. There is plenty of covered seating outside but no inside seating so it gave a well catered picnic vibe. I will say it was hard for us to find because the map didn't realize where it was. We had to drive around a bit to find it but it's next to the gas station/convenience store that Maps takes you to. I would absolutely go out of my way to go to Seaside Dairy Bar the next time we're in Maine. It's well worth it!
