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

    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.

    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

    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!

    Unfortunately this place was average (or below average) for the cost…read more Came here to get lobster bisque due to a glowing review from another Yelper. I asked for it extra hot. Ordered the fried haddock sandwich too. Soup arrived with steam (before the spoons to eat it came) but the soup was actually not that hot when we tasted it. We had to wait for spoons. The bowl of lobster bisque was $34, which was a conscious decision for us to order - because that's expensive. (A cup is$20.) The lobster bisque had no flavor. The salt, pepper and lemon we added ourselves helped but for $34, it should be amazing. It cooled off super quickly and was room temperature within 3 minutes and in 8 minutes or so, cold. Which means it wasn't truly heated through and through to start. We regret ordering it. The fried haddock sandwich had zero flavor. None. Not salt, not pepper. The fries and Heinz ketchup had the most flavor of anything on our table. When the sandwich came we asked for another plate (we were sharing it), which never came. At one point, the waitress came over and asked how everything was. I replied, "Eh, alright." She said "Okay!" and walked away. Disappointing since, budget-wise, we are eating out one meal a day of this trip and that was the experience (and lack of flavor) we had. $66 including tip. Such a waste. Sorry to say....but skip this place.

    To start with, this is the same Dry Dock restaurant I reviewed in 2023 - sort of! It is actually…read morethe same owners but in a larger space. We learned of it from locals and decided to give it a try. It was a bit rocky of a start, someone didn't really know that we were there, but when we asked we had service recovery that was off the charts. We had a very nice Chardonnay. and because of our initial wait we received the cajun shrimp appetizer that was absolutely incredible and served with homemade chipotle cocktail sauce - so good and perfect with the wine. I then followed that with an order of chicken wings that came with buffalo sauce and blue cheese, Wayne had the fettuccine Alfredo that was also excellent. Although no longer within the blues festival grounds, we will totally add it to next year's plan!

    Our group, made up of Mainers and "people from away who spend a lot of time in Maine" felt that…read morethis could be the best lobster roll we have ever had. Lobster roll prices are one of the few things in life that regularly give me sticker shock, but this (currently under $30) is less than some highly-ranked shacks. And the view, by golly, the view. The view is worth an extra $10 to sit and look out at the water - the exact view of what Maine means to me. Anyway, we arrived at 11:42am on Wednesday; they open at 11:30am. It was pretty busy by that time - the line moves fast - many people already eating 12 minutes after opening. But when we left, probably 60-90 min later, the car line was very long. I'd recommend getting there 15 minutes before they open. We had the hot dog, not-pictured, but positive review from the two kids who chose that, as well as one who chose the grilled cheese. Three of us had lobster rolls, with nothing but rave reviews. Lobster rolls always look small to me, but it was packed and filling. Get both butter and mayo. Slaw, pickle, and chips - standard and good. Our lone steamed lobster ordered gave two thumbs up, also. Oh, and we started with clam dip. Like delicious chip dip - but with clams! Subtly seafoody. Worth the effort to check out McCloons. The whole area is beautiful - swing by Owls Head Lighthouse afterwards. Those few hours will be the way life should be.

I googled lobster shacks on the water and was led here. Couldn't be happier with the choice to come here. It's absolutely the most beautiful lobster shack I've ever been to. I got a full lobster which came with a pickle, bag of chips, coleslaw , lemon wedge and melted butter. My son got a lobster roll which came with the same sides. The total for both was $65.77. We got a table right by the water with an umbrella and it was peaceful, idyllic, and just perfect. We got there right when it opened at 11:30 so we had our choice of table, and parking was easy, but when we left almost an hour later, just about all of the tables were taken and the parking lot was completely full. It is definitely a popular place but for good reason. Maine is a top 5 state for me, so I'll definitely be back someday, and for now will spread the word to others to come check this place out.

Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.

We had great conversation with Teresa and Seth. Golfers came in and out. Teresa knew all their names and it was a real nice vibe. The onion rings were some of the best I ever had.
