My wife had the fried haddock dinner. with fries and onion rings she said the onion rings were the best she ever had. The mussels were a bit over priced the other dishes were Sam as other sea food restaurants. The staff was friendly and aimed to please , read more

Sorry folks - Our one and only $150 dinner of the year and two hours later my wife was throwing up in the hotel bathroom. She only ate about a third of her mussels, said that they tasted funny, and didn't eat the rest. How many other tourists in the Bangor area got sick last night? Not serving bad seafood in your seafood restaurant is entry-level, like not crashing the airplane. read more

I order take out frequently and it's always great. But tonight I ordered fried seafood and they changed the breading to gluten free. It is not good, very grainy.I called to complain and was told that's the only option for breading and I can order baked or broiled instead. Probably won't order again! read more

Overall great food and friendly service! We started outside but it was breezy and started getting chilly so we moved inside. Ordered the whole belly clams for our appetizer and a dozen oysters. The whole bellies are fresh fried and lightly seasoned. Came with a mayo based sauce but we actually liked the cocktail sauce better with them. Oysters were fresh too. We had a couple different lobster rolls, both delicious and large chunks of lobster! Didn't care much for the baked haddock but that's me. My coworkers enjoyed it! Would definitely go back! read more

great place to bring the wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clam strips, seasoned chips and outdoor view were great! Peppered calamari was flavored well, but sat in a bunch of oil which took away from enjoying it. And the service was a lil ehh, my drink was empty for quite some time and after not being checked on for a while I went to find her to request a refill. I would return to try other menu items. read more

Great food and service! Spent a long weekend in Bangor, Maine (first and probably last time) and figured I should have some lobster during my visit. Pepper's Landing came recommended by Chat GPT and Yelp so we checked it out earlier today. Julia was our server and was phenomenal at her job, especially considering my high maintenance kids. Super kind and fast even though she was waiting on a number of tables. We sat on the patio and enjoyed great weather and a nice view. My husband had the clam chowder and fried haddock sandwich. He's a Bostonian by birth, so his two thumbs up rating of the chowder means something. I had the lobster sauté, which surpassed my expectations, but I was also quite impressed with my side of vegetables - a healthy portion of well seasoned zucchini that was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed a mocktail which I believe was called Ginger Fizz, and was amused by the cute presentation of the kids meals in a cardboard fishing boat. The perfect accompaniments to a New England meal! Pepper's Landing was definitely a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!! read more

Went for the lobster roll and wasn't disappointed - it was awesome! In addition to the classic, they call it "Martin", they have 5 other versions of a lobster roll. Very good service as well. read more

The ambiance was great-sitting outside facing the river. Food was average. Coating on fried seafood not crisp. Fries lukewarm. Server nice but very loud talker and not attentive. read more

Great local spot with a wonderful view if you sit outside. Prices are reasonable, food is excellent. Drinks were great; I hate it when there is too much simple syrup but that was not the case here. Service was great. Will have to come back for the Wednesday discount oyster deal read more

Frustrating if you have celiac disease! This restaurant actually has a separate Gluten free menu... which was pretty exciting. My daughter ordered grilled shrimp (which comes with French fries or chips). The menu clearly states that the fries and chips are cross contaminated in a fryer that contains gluten... but I had to pay $2 extra to get my daughter mashed potatoes so she wouldn't be glutened! I find this extremely frustrating! If you're going to have a GF menu.. then make it GF! read more

Ridiculously small portions for expensive prices. Total waste of money. Do not recommend unless you want to spend a lot of money and leave hungry. read more

We had a crab roll and a lobster roll with chips. Both rolls were yummy! Chips seemed a bit overcooked. Nice restaurant layout and an open feel. Very friendly service too. read more

Pepper's landing is a mandatory stop on our yearly family Maine vacations. The baked scallops were fluffy little pillows of goodness and the maple burnt ends were a surprising addition to this dish. Our server was friendly and quick. Perfect date night spot for some seafood, and drinks. End dinner with a nice stroll next to the water. read more

I ordered on-line a lobster roll with French fries and coleslaw. The service was great and on time. That's is the Only good news about this order. The fries were cold, dry and obviously frozen. The coleslaw was from a wholesale distributor like Sysco, not freshly made. And the lobster roll was the worst I have ever had, (I'm a third generation New Englander). The meat was tuff, clearly previously frozen, over cooked and virtually uneatable. I could Only eat about half the roll and literally spit out the last bite. I got a much better lobster roll at an Irving gas station last summer. Peppers Landing has a lot of nerve charging $35 for this lobster roll.... They would have a lot of nerve charging $3.00 for this meal. I will never go back and you should not go... you will thank me. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! I had the Caesar salad, cheeseburger and my husband had the lobster stew and lobster. Everything was delicious!!! And their blueberry sangria, delicious. read more

The fish chowder didn't have any fish in either mine or my husband's chowder other than a few flakes but had plenty of potatoes. It also came out lukewarm at best. I had the seafood stuffed haddock which the stuffing had one shrimp I didn't find any scallops not even chopped up. Very disappointing for the price you would think the seafood would be there in the dish. We did have dessert which was very good..Main course was lacking and very dissatisfied. read more

We dined on a Wednesday so it was not super busy. Our service, Gabe was wonderful. Our food was serviced as described. We ordered baked stuffed haddock, crab rolls, mussels for appetizer. We enjoyed our table indoors. The weather was not the best. Otherwise we would have enjoyed the pation over looking the river. It was the last dinner I had with my kids after dropping them off at UMaine. I will definitely go back for another dinner! read more

Recently came from the West Coast and am not exaggerating when I say this, probably one of the best plates of steak and lobster I ever had. Steak was perfect Medium Rare and Lobster with the Sides were phenomenal. Service was high quality as the Bartender Andrew, consistently checked in on me and made sure I was taken care of. read more

Pepper's Landing - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Maine

I reluctantly returned here with friends after my last visit with almost burned calamari. This time I ordered the appetizer shrimp only to find a long hair in the food. The server was really pleasant and I felt really bad for her. I won't be back, if I can help it. read more

Dinner with a party of 9. Food was very good and large portion for the price. I would return and others should give it a try. friendly service staff. read more

I have eaten at Pepper's Landing a handful of times since they opened. I find all of the prices are fair, even the seafood is not expensive like you find at other restaurants. I am a big fan of their signature Pepper's Champ beer. I have not tried sitting outside yet as it has been too hot on the visits I've had but I imagine the river and the nice patio offer for a relaxing outside experience. Service has always been good and wait times minimal. read more

A beautiful day, Fried Clams and a view, what's not to like. Vibe: I chose to sit on the patio, overlooking the Penobscot River. I couldn't asked for a nicer day. The inside is nice, but a little overly done on coastal theme, i.e. it feels forced/new and not natural and authentic. I also felt the inside was a bit too spacious, lacking some warmth. Service: It was an off hour, and they had a limited staff working. Not the end of the world, but there was that awkward wait at the front, wondering what to do - wait - seat myself - go to the bar? Finally, someone came and sat me on the patio. Service was good - friendly - and for the most part attentive. I did notice as they got a little busier, the server was stretched a little. And there was a bit of a gap getting and paying the check. Food: The Fried Clams were delicious and reminded me of growing up in New England. Hot, lightly battered and crispy. The fries, although not as good as the clams, were hot and tasty. The coleslaw was also very good. All in all - very satisfying. I would definitely go back to Pepper's Landing, that is unless someone convinced me there was a better place to try. Date of Visit: 11 July 2023 read more

Pepper's Landing - Chicken salad wrap and seafood combo - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Maine

Pretty good food...some is definitely bar food and delish. Some is more fine dining food and, while it is well done, everything seemed a bit overcooked to us. Portions go from adequate (fine dining) to bountiful (bar food.). Fresh fish and seafood is not cheap, but reasonably priced. One side of the restaurant is an eat in bar area and the other is a dining room with booths and tables with a nice river view. If you like Maine IPAs there are plenty to enjoy! And in the bar area you can "compete" on an ongoing networked trivia game...great for a group get together to knock back some tasty bar food, cold beers and a chance to show everyone how smart you are in mindless facts! Recommend more for adults than kids. read more

Got in just under the wire on eclipse day. They were understaffed and out of lobster :( That said we hit the other dishes on the menu and were not disappointed!! Sweet and sour shrimp and haddock was the ringer along with the scallops and pork burnt ends. Our server she was a total pro and made a difficult situation look easy. Highly recommend!! read more

Oh. My. God. The food at Pepper's Landing in Old Town, ME is an absolute must go too! 10/10. Everything there is so good. The restaurant is huge. The staff is so friendly and personable. The lobster bisque is an absolute must try. We live closer to the Rochester, NH and Ogunquit, ME location and will definitely be visiting those locations! Now that we're aware of this wonderful establishment. read more

The fried whole belly clams were clearly spoiled, with an obvious rotten taste. Service was inexplicably slow despite few customers. Serving rotten seafood is unacceptable, avoid this place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

The calamari was the best my wife ever had! The chowder was great! Our server was a younger college guy he was great. The chicken fingers were average, and the sweet potato fries were under cooked but overall very good! read more

Wonderful addition to Old Town! The restaurant has been very nicely remodeled. It is CLEAN and nice. Beautiful outdoor patio offering seating along the river. We were a group of 10 and were treated so well. Our waiter (Jonah) was attentive and friendly and was a wonderful person to deal with our group. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Seafood cooked perfectly. Even the burger guys were very impressed with the burgers. And onion rings-GOOD!!! We will return and have been telling others. Nice atmosphere, great service, super food. Money well spent on a delightful evening!!! read more

My son goes to college at The University of Maine. I love to visit him but genuinely, I love to visit peppers landing. There is an incredible waterfall area. The building is beautiful and clean. There is fresh lobsters to greet you as you walk in. The host and the rest of the service is top shelf. The beer selection is very good and the seafood is unparalleled in the area. Most of all, It's an incredible value. I live on the East Coast of Massachusetts and the sea food is excellent but the price is much much higher than here at peppers landing. It seems that it's a family business that truly likes to offer a great value to the community. My son is only a freshman so I hope to Done there many more times during his tenure at college. I highly recommend this place and would travel a great distance to experience Peppers Landing. read more

Had a great dinner here with the family! My husband enjoyed the clam chowder, I had the haddock chowder and it was OUTSTANDING!

Beautiful spot on the water and great service! read more
