Excellent cole slaw and a pickle spear that made this Brooklyn boy proud! We had takeout so we couldn't try their famous oysters. They literally have a screen enclosed wall of bleached oyster shells that I would estimate four feet high, six inches thick and easily 20 feet long! Gastronomic hit of our trip. Preparation was fast as promised.

We were walking around town and I remember seeing this place on the map. So we decided to at least…read moreget a visual of this place as it had positive reviews on Yelp - avg rating of 4.5 It was still fairly early, however we could see the line was forming. We decided to give it a chance, since most of the people there seemed to be local or at least seasonal locals. Given this was just a "snack" for us, we decided on a hotdog, cheeseburger and shared some fries. The ordering process can get a little chaotic, as there is a lot of conversation at the grill with orders being placed and prepared and people chatting in line. We placed our order and were given a number and you could stay at the window (which gets really crowded) or you can have a seat at the picnic table. I decided to wait near the window while I took pictures for Yelp. From what I could hear the prices of the seafood options are "high" although I didn't think it was unreasonable given how fresh the seafood is. We didn't even get seafood and really enjoyed our food. Very fresh and didn't have old grill flavor. We would definitely return if in the area, I would love to try the haddock if we had more time.

We started with onion soup, which was OUTSTANDING !! It wasn't too salty, which is often an issue but not here. The broth was a perfect blend of onion and beef flavoring, just enough cheese and croutons but not overpowering... it was divine. It might've been the best I've ever had. We also got bread service that offered lightly grilled French bread. I don't know what the deal was, but it was so unbelievably tasty, and it was so soft, too. I don't know if it was the texture or the bread flavor, but something was different... that made it so amazing. Better than usual. I wanted to eat more, but I knew I was already getting full, so we left most of it. Drat. For an entree, my husband got the Atlantic salmon in a lobster veloute with farfalle and ratatouille. I tasted it, and it was excellent. Such great flavors. I got the cioppino, which had scallops, shrimp, and haddock in a herb-infused tomato sauce. I was a little shocked because it was spicy... good flavor, but spicy, and I wasn't expecting that. I wish the waitress would've told me ahead of time, but she didn't. I ended up not eating most of it because it was a bit too much for my palate. I hate wasting food, but the truth is I wouldn't have finished it anyway. I was already full from the onion soup and 1 piece of bread. For our celebratory dinner, we also split a dessert. I had read this place is known for their blueberry pie, which we were very interested in getting. Soooooooooo glad we did because it was EXCELLENT... and yes, it was a la mode... with vanilla ice cream. There was some crystalized sugar topping on the crust, which really added to the awesomeness of this dessert. We hit pay-dirt here. This meal was the highlight of our trip to Boothbay Harbor. I hope we will be able to return to this lovely harbor town because we will make a beeline to dine at Thistle Inn again. Too bad we live so far away. This is a wonderful dining establishment, and they made our 20th anniversary even more memorable !!

Cocktails served, and draft or craft beer and cider are available. And the food.. well.. it's just great. Best burger in Maine, hands down..huge, perfectly cooked, juicy, lots of goodies on the bun. The Fries are addictive. The fried pickled asparagus appetizer is so delicious it brings tears to your eyes, as you sip your draft cider (excellent) and await the entree.
