    The world famous Owls Head 7 napkin cheeseburger, it's worth all of the hype. It's definitely a napkin per bite!

    Done and dusted . Yes there's 7napkins there

    The seven napkin burger lives up to its name .certainly has a lot of stuff on it. A good local general store burger . Don't expect a gourmet burger or you'll be disappointed. But it was good and hit the spot

    Visited OHGS after I couldn't find anywhere to eat breakfast/lunch in the Rockland/Rockport area. The 7 napkin burger was delicious and required more than 7 napkins. Worth a visit! The store has everything you may have forgotten at home. From stick lighters to olive oil to beer go home decor.

    Last week, my wife and I were in Rockland for a few days and during that time we drove around and explored the Owls Head area, including visiting the 1826 lighthouse. The Owls Head General Store is an interesting, typical New England general store. There are local authors' books for sale along with prints and photographs. We had read about the "famous seven-napkin burger." Hope to try it the next time we in the area.

    We enjoyed!

    Stopped by after doing errands in the area and someone suggested it for a quick and delicious burger. The Seven Napkin burger lived up to its name and then some! Service was friendly and sitting outside at a picnic table was a nice way to spend sometime. ONLY downside was that the burgers were not prepared rare as we requested and were cooked to well. They were still very enjoyable.

    Perhaps the best burger in Mid-coast Maine. Seven napkins, indeed! Visited with a local friend and Owls Head General Store did not disappoint.

    If you're in Camden, Rockport or Rockland you have to go. A small general store & take out spot on the way to Owls Head Light House. A local recommended this place and it was amazing & the burger was voted the "Best in Maine." What we ordered: Burger / Medium / No modifications Coffee Fudge It took a while to make, but good things take time right? The burger is huge, flavorful and the toppings/sauces were the perfect amount. Outside the store to the right they have picnic tables or if you want to really take it to go, Owls Head Light is only a few minutes drive up the road. We also had the coffee fudge which we split later that night, a great price compared to tourist trap spots in the harbor towns.

    Our family attempts to come to Maine every year if possible. All year long between visits, Owl's Head General Store is all we talk about. The burgers are fresh, the owner is friendly, the experience is always a homemade quality. I love the bountiful menu, drinks, and take home options. We love that we can browse at the small hometown style store while we wait for our fresh food. We come back this July and we are so excited to eat our favorite 7 napkin burger once again!

    I have been in and around the balloon market for over two decades. Recently while searching to…read moreupgrade our family balloon, I stopped into a Shaw's supermarket. Our current balloon at the time was just out date. After trying a few balloons out we settled on a balloon that whole family agreed on. Upon purchase the balloon was filled abundantly with helium. It was also decorated with very high quality decals that were season appropriate at the time of purchase. The leaf decals were multiple colors with high definition in the veins on the leaves. Fifty two days later the balloon has maintained a decent vibe in our living room despite being out of season with decor the balloon possesses. It has outlasted any balloon the family has ever owned and to this day holds an admirable amount of helium still. My boyfriend and myself are extremely satisfied with this purchase. We would return to buy again when we are financially stable to get into a more modern balloon for the family. At a very reasonable price of free for the taking, the rice to quality ratio is outstanding. We would highly recommend Shaw's supermarket to friends and family, when they are looking to get into a new balloon for the house!!! So for all those who are patiently awaiting an update of my beloved balloon. I'm proud to say it's been over 3 months and it may be a bit deflated but it's still floating. Not sure what they put in their helium but it's obviously well worth it!

Their sales are extraordinarily complex, with discounts almost impossible to confirm within the cash register jargon. Double check the price of sale items in particular, if you can find an employee to ask. As far as ambience, there is none. At this point, I only purchase their digital items sale offerings and double and triple check the price I was charged vs. the correct sales price. Some employees are downright surly!

    We spent a night at the Inn and had a peaceful time. We grabbed premade sandwiches for supper at…read morethe Market (caution-the market closes at 7pm so make sure to get there before then) and ate them in the Inn's community kitchen/dining area. There wasn't a TV in our room so we played cards at the dining room table! Lynae is the innkeeper and was very accessible. Our room, and the Inn in general, was very clean and well kept. There was a jar with travel needs should a guest forget something (toothpaste, comb, etc.). The shower was adequate but don't expect high water pressure; it was fine for us. We got to the Market right at 7am the next morning for some hot coffee and breakfast sandwiches. We brought our own travel mugs so the coffee was less than $1.40 each. The egg sandwiches and pastries were tasty. Two pastries, two coffees and two egg sandwiches cost just under $24. I was pleased to see they offer goods from regional B Corps, Wicked Joe coffee (Maine) and Cabot Cheese (Vermont), were two companies that caught my eye. Finally, we grabbed ready made pizza slices for the ferry ride back to the mainland. There were also some tasty looking sandwich offerings. The staff was fabulous each time we stopped in.
