Food and service were both amazing. My brother recommended Peppers. We were not disappointed. I have told some of my friends this is a "MUST" place to go. Will go back when I get back to Maine next year. They also had live music with was very cool. read more

We came in during dinner time with a large party. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, and the space was clean with really nice decor. The staff was top-notch--the hostess and our waitress were absolutely phenomenal and took great care of us. The live lobster tank was also a big hit with the kids! ​Unfortunately, the main reason we came--the seafood--was a huge disappointment across the board. The firecracker shrimp was actually very good, but that was the only high point. The calamari, clam strips, and fish and chips were all chewy, improperly fried, and lacked any crispiness. Multiple people in our party felt the exact same way about their meals. ​Given the price, the food quality just wasn't worth it. While the staff and atmosphere were fantastic, we won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend it for a seafood dinner. read more

First time trying Pepper's Landing. Came in towards the end of dinner service. We were seated inside by a friendly server. The menu had a lot of good looking choices, making it harder to make a decision. Ordered a rhubarb mojito and the Acadia lobster roll. It came with coleslaw and crispy homemade chips. The roll was entirely claw meat and had a hint of truffle, topped with scallions. The mojito was tasty too. read more

We decided last minute that a final seafood dinner in Maine would be in order. Lots to choose from but we chose this place. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. Actually, even though it was windy, it was kind of cold inside, so we chose outside. Dawn was our server and she could not have been nicer. She talked us through several of our questions about food on the menu. We ordered the calamari prepared pepper's way. Really good. We then each ordered the stuffed halibut. It was also good, but you had to eat it quickly because it got cold fast. We ordered broccoli as our vegetable side, but the chef gave us stir fried squash and zucchini. Dawn was embarrassed and went back for the broccoli. However I ate all of the mixed vegetables because they were actually quite good. For our last seafood dinner in Maine, we are glad we chose this place. Not fancy but very friendly and warm. read more

We went to listen to music, were lucky to score a table, and stayed for a tasty dinner. Service was from young kids and was friendly, but not attentive, but food was tasty and the music was very fun, with us knowing every song and singing along. read more

It's alright, not great just alright. Super friendly staff! I want to support local but the food is really salty. I like the mussels though they are my favorite! read more

They have a live lobster tank filled with Maine lobster here. Our group stopped in for lunch and had a variety of dishes: clam chowder, artichoke dip, lobster stew, assortment of fried finger foods, and a Kennebunkport lobster roll. The Assortment of fried finger foods (aka Pepper's Platter) came with whole belly clams, scallops, shrimp, and haddock over a bed of fries. Lobster stew was a creamy bisque base with pieces of lobster knuckle and claw. The artichoke dip contained quartered pieces of artichoke hearts and came with house made potato chips and buttered toast strips. The lobster roll was ok - the lobster meat was a bit dry and the vinaigrette-flavored Kennebunkport topping overpowered any lobster taste. There seemed to be less lobster meat to accommodate the topping too. I would go with one of the more traditional lobster rolls next time. Portions are hearty here and most seafood items are market price. Located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. read more

The wife had the fried clams I had the fried Haddock both were delicious. Emma B our server was outstanding. She checked in just often enough to make sure we were good but not too much. The ambiance was perfect for a Tuesday night. read more

Had a wonderful lobster meal at this restaurant! The service was very good. The outdoor dining was nice but they could add a bit more ambience to the patio. I thought the prices were doable for the area. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a family or just a night out for 2! Cheers!!! read more

I made a reservation for my husband's 75th birthday a week in advance, and it was confirmed by open table. I really wanted it to be a special night for him. We drove for three hours to get there. When we arrived at the restaurant, the host, who I later found out was the manager, said that he had no reservation for us. I showed him the reservation confirmation. We were seated at a table,. I asked if we could have a booth. There were two empty booths, but he said they were for reservations. I pointed out that we have a confirmed reservation, but that didn't count. Apparently some reservations are more important than others. We got stuck at a crappy table, where we were ignored for a long time. Our server did the best that she could, given that she seemed to be covering al lot of tables. The people in the, booths got plenty of attention. My husband,who is much more tolerant of restaurant delays than me was.on the point of walking out when the food finally arrived. The food,once it arrived was quite good. The restaurant's idea of adequate compensation was a free dessert. All I wanted for my husband's 75th birthday was a pleasant meal. Instead we got ridiculous excuses like we were at the wrong restaurant, when the reservation said Brunswick, and inadequate compensation. If the person who claimed he is the manager is really the manager, he should be fired for incompetence. read more

We are frequent diners at Pepper's Landing. We always order seafood and it is consistently fresh and prepared to perfection. We love the Tuesday night option and the Sunday Suppers. The restaurant and the rest rooms are spotless and the restaurant is managed efficiently . For us, it is all about the service. Robin is always welcoming and friendly. She is super knowledgeable about the food and drink menu and does a phenomenal job multi tasking as the bartender tender and server. She does it effortlessly and always with a smile. We are so lucky to have Pepper's Landing in Brunswick! read more

Visiting family who live in the area and decided to head out for some seafood and drinks. Peppers Landing hit the mark on both. We experienced great service during a busy happy hour with awesome drink and appetizer specials. The restaurant itself is very clean and nicely decorated and the seafood was fresh and prepared perfectly! We will absolutely return the next time we are in the area. read more

I've stopped in a couple times, just never seem to get around to writing a review. Yesterday I had been out running errands and was starving. Stopped in a little after 1 pm. There weren't many people in the restaurant when I came in but it was Memorial Day and raining. I was alone so sat at the bar anyway. Bartender/waitress was friendly. I ordered a cheeseburger with sweet potato fries (there was a small upcharge but I think that's pretty typical). My burger was seasoned and cooked well. Choice of cheeses available. Fries were crispy. Pretty extensive mixed drink and wine menu. Several beers on tap. When I left, there were quite a few more people in the dining room. read more

Pepper's Landing - Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. - Seafood Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Ordered lobster sauté and it was way overcooked and the lobster was not fresh at all. What a disappointment on a Mother's Day. Talked to the waitress about the food, but she didn't care at all. Just said oh it was little bit overcooked. Won't be returning. Also we waited about 45 minutes for the food to come. Very bad experience to say the least read more

Good food and pleasant service - we'll be back agaiin! The location is slightly off the normal path and easy to find.

We've been quite a few times. This time it was a bit off. Our group received their dinners, but two were delayed. They were baked stuffed haddock, which turned out to be great, but our potatoes were cold and inedible. Everyone was waiting for us. Awkward. Our friend had a perfect medium rare burger, so that's something. But the place has dropped a notch on our list. Just average now. read more

Dinner here Tuesday 18 July - I was so excited to introduce my dining partner to the glory of a delicious Maine lobster roll, and found a restaurant that was open late (until 8pm) and had good Yelp reviews. The dinner got off to a bad start - hostess seated us at absolutely the worst table in the restaurant (a great view of the bathrooms) even though there were plenty of other tables available. Perhaps we did not meet her expectation of diners? We had hope when our Caesar salad arrived - fresh, crisp, light green romaine, a tremendous amount of cheese, lots of ordinary croutons, and dressing on the side. And then the mains showed up. Dining partner's $30 lobster mac'n'cheese was attractively garnished with a few attractive pieces of lobster, maybe 2oz of lobster and toasted crumbs, but the noodles and sauce were reminiscent of alfredo paste in taste, color, and consistency, possibly one of the blandest mac'n'cheese variants we'd ever had. Pasta was well overdone even before it met the nondescript cheese sauce and there was no lobster flavor other than the few small chunks. I'd ordered a Brunswick lobster roll, warm with butter, gluten free ($33 with upcharge for GF and change to fries). The server informed me that it would be on a GF hamburger roll, which was fine. The problem was that there was absolutely no butter on the lobster or on the toasted roll, leaving me with somewhere between 2.5 and 3 oz of very chewy dry warm reheated lobster on a very dry gluten free roll. Unfortunately I wasn't able to flag down our server and ask for butter, though I tried. I'd asked to substitute sweet potato fries for the french fries (IIRC same price on the menu, but an upcharge for them as it was a substitution) and they were delicious and the highlight of the meal. But... we went for lobster, we were out $100, and the lobster really had been disappointing. Tonight I told dining partner I was writing this review and he said "UGH. That meal was awful. I hope you're giving them one star." read more

They were able to accommodate our larger group with two tables. Inside was nice with some high ceilings. Service was good. I ordered a lobster roll with butter and regular fries. I also requested the cole slaw. I enjoyed it. For market price, it is what I would expect from a lobster roll. The roll was toasty and buttery. read more

We've been here many times but we won't be back. Our Mother's Day dinner was a disaster. We waited forever for drinks and dinner. Food finally came out cold and burned. We sent it back and it still came back cold. We spoke to the manager and she got defensive and could not have cared less. They lost loyal regular customers. read more

I usually refuse to eat in a shopping center but the good, very fresh seafood and friendly but not too up close and personal service has my coming back here over and over. My grandkids get fish and chips served in a colorful boat with a wedge of orange and choice of drink plus a toy for a very reasonable price. Think happy meal but sooo much better tasting and healthy for the kids. Great atmosphere too with local musicians in the bar, old photos and a list of local sources for the fish they serve. read more

Very popular seafood restaurant. Loud too! The food is good if a bit overpriced. We arrived mid afternoon and there was a 30 minute wait. My only issue was with the hostess. She looked at us like we came from another planet as soon as we entered the restaurant. All I remember was that she had short dark hair and was a bit older. We waited outside and when we walked back in to claim our table she gave us the same strange look. I wish I'd caught her name. Our server was excellent and the rest of the meal was great. read more

It looks like this place must be busy at times with indoor and outdoor seating. We were there between lunch and supper so it was not crowded. We were greeted upon arrow and seated quickly. The waitress was prompt and efficient. The food was ready so quickly I thought for a moment that it was someone else's food. Clams and shrimp were lightly breaded. I had their homemade chips and coke slaw. Overall it was a very nice dining experience read more

My wife and I love this place. We stop in from time to time and we usually get the fish tacos which are excellent! (Blackened Haddock, Salmon or Shrimp, pickled cabbage, pico, cheese, lettuce and avocado puree on flour tortillas) Mmmmm! The atmosphere is really nice and quaint, service is really good. They have outdoor seating for warmer weather. Beer and Wine menus with several beers on tap also. Worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

Overall the food is decent. My group ordered many dishes and we enjoyed our meal but nothing stood out.

Delicious clam chowder, though the other food and service was just alright. We came as a party of 5 for lunch on a Sunday, and the place was pretty quiet at noon with just a couple other tables seated. I ordered a cup of clam chowder as an appetizer and then the chicken sandwich with a side salad. The clam chowder was very tasty with a decent amount of clam pieces. The fried chicken sandwich with tomato aioli sounded really good, but the aioli did not appeal to me once eating it. The batter for the fry came off very easily and fell onto the plate. Service could have been better, as some items were forgotten and had to be reminded. read more

Great!!! The haddock chowder was soooo good, and my Mrs loved the mountain of clams. We're gonna remember this place!

The service was great here! They were busy and still got our food out in a timely manner. Their lobster roll was delicious as well as their burgers! read more

Came by many recommendations to try out this place for fresh seafood served in classic American dishes. It feels very much like a casual chain but with emphasis on locally caught seafood and the founder, Pepper. Ordered: Crab quesadilla: app portions with pre made dips, crab tasted sweet and fresh Fish reuben: big portions and solid reuben flavors A fine place in Brunswick for lunch or dinner. Check out their website for details on their taco Tuesday, happy hour, and dinner+dessert deals. read more

Came here for a quick lunch. Service was friendly, started somewhat slow, clean and comfortable ambiance. Calamari and crab quesadilla were great. I had the shrimp and scallop pasta, just okay, a little bland and pasta was a little over cooked. Everyone else, thought the salmon tacos were good, just overpriced for 2 tacos. This is an okay place for lunch and dinner, nothing to write home about and it's pricey for mid coast Maine in my opinion. I would've given 3 stars overall but the apps made it worth the stop, hence the 4 stars read more

I admit I had low expectations as we stopped driving through. Expectations exceeded. They had a really nice haddock chowder, decent lobster roll and beer was ice cold. What solidified the experience was the service for the kids where the my let the kids pick a toy from a treasure chest and even served their food in a happy meal like box that was a boat - kids loved that! Friendly staff, jets flying nearby were super loud. Overall, good pick and did the trick. Thank you to the staff for being fun! read more

The last time I reviewed Peppers Landing I gave it three stars. Today we found things have gotten a little worse. The shrimp tacos were very disappointing. The shrimp were barely cooked and the taste was off. I actually left them on the tray. My companion has the blackened haddock sandwich and commented that it was barely warm. Things have definitely gone downhill since this restaurant first opened. In addition, the menu never changes. It's time for an overhaul. read more

We went to Pepper's Landing for my SOs work function. I was looking forward to trying something new. But, sadly was a little disappointed in my dish. I will say that was the only disappointment but it was a big one. I got the lobster mac & cheese. It was inedible. It was doused in gruyere cheese, completely overpowering any lobster flavor. The portion was large & the lobster was plentiful but it did not matter because the flavor was totally off-putting. I took about 4 bites & gave up. My SO got the fried scallops and they were delicious. We also splurged on dessert, the blueberry pie was 100% homemade & amazing. I also tried the snickers martini, very good. The atmosphere is lacking warmth & style. Our server was excellent! I'd go back for the scallops & pie! read more

Where do I begin...two sandwiches not much larger than sliders. Fried haddock with cheese (paid extra for cheese, it was not present). Almost stale bun. A few chunks of iceberg lettuce thrown in. Tiny slice of tomato. Second sandwich, blackened haddock (pictured)...same bun, same topping. Each had a handful of fries (frozen), no slaw. In a bag with numerous plastic catsups, plastic utensils for a party, a pile of napkins. $35! Tourists...if you want seafood, go to a summer fish shack with a beautiful view or just down the street from Pepper's to Fisherman's Net and you'll see what a haddock sandwich should be (plus tons of fries). read more
