No lettuce, no fancy rolls, no celery, etc. Just super fresh lobster meat with the barest amount of mayonnaise on a butter grilled top split hotdog bun. Absolute perfection. Their onion rings are great, too. Super thin, crispy and pleasantly a bit greasy. Tastes like summer!!

The setting at this waterfront restaurant is gorgeous. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Every…read moretable has a great view of the ocean. There is lots of outdoor seating and indoor seating. There is a handicap accessible ramp in case stairs are a problem. I went to lunch with my 82 year old mother who has mobility challenges. She preferred to walk up the 3 steps than the long ramp. Inside the restaurant there is a step as well between the multiple rooms. The food is excellent. We had the beef skewers appetizer, the mussels appetizer, and a fantastic salad. We shared it all, and there was plenty! We also tried to blueberry muffin which a friend told us they are known for. The muffin was good, fresh, but there was not something special about it...it was a good blueberry muffin. The service was friendly and efficient. The portion sizes are good. The price is fair, especially for such a gorgeous setting!

Great, unbeatable view but below average food. The only good thing was the blueberry muffin, which…read moreis fabulous! Seafood chowder was too milky and lots of butter yet still thin and watery, lots of fish chunks but it made me nauseous. Husband had fried haddock with mashed potatoes, all very bland bordering on bad.

On the water sits a food truck with seafood and burgers with the chips or french fries on the side with a sour pickle. My son had the burger and said it was very good, myself and my other son had the shrimp roll, very good. The service was great and the ambiance, well... you're on the water, sitting at tables eating your food with great company. A mom couldn't ask for more! Look this place up in Harpswell, you'll be glad you did. And while you're there, enjoy your company, enjoy your food and enjoy the view.

Cooks (lobster & ale house) is a pure staple of the baileys island community, a great place for a…read morenice lunch and early dinner, my first experience of cooks was like 12/13 years ago , we took a Casco bay summer island cruise that we departed from Portland, scenic views beyond belief, the cruise would end up at cooks (baileys island) for lunch , unfortunately it stopped during Covid and never restarted again, so recently me and my beautiful wife went to look at a boat for sale in the area and we decided on cooks for lunch , the place for a Wednesday was pretty busy and sit in restaurant , we shared a couple of appetizers, Scallops wrapped in bacon with a sweet Maple sauce incredible would be a understatement for these , we also had the calamari, also lovely and we shared the haddock sandwich and we were so full leaving.. I never mentioned that our waitress was also as good the food, I believe her name was Tanner she was so helpful, sweet and had a great mannerism too , I also made it a point to tell her coworkers to tell their manager of how great our waitress was, it's hard nowadays to find someone who goes above and beyond doing her job, 5 stars for your work .. Thanks Again Cooks we love coming back to this area. Certainly worth the visit.. you'll all thank me later, Noel

There was no sign up about a wedding and I had no idea, but when I told him this he continued yelling and bullying me until I left the tiny cube of cheese for him and walked out. I explained we had just had a meal here but he decided to bully a woman client. I'll be reaching out to the owners as I can only imagine if he feels entitled to do this in public how he must treat his staff.
