Got to restaurant little before…read more9 , was maybe 4 tables occupied, sat by myself , waited 10 minutes or so to be acknowledged, finally got a cup of coffee at a out the 15 minutes mark. Not very busy but only one waitress working as has been par for the course last few times there. Finally took my order which was eggs Benedict. As i waited for my meal i heard the few other couples there ordering their meals. Waited almost 45 minutes and no meal yet? Eventually the waitress came out to serve table next to me , the people said they didnt wang their breakfast i heard thdm order, thay said the food they brought eatlier was good enough for thdm so refused to take food waitress had brought and which i heatd them order! Waitress came over to my table (only single diner there) and told me she served the table of 3 my breakfast !! Which they knew wasnt theres but shared it between themselves anyways! So just short of an hour i was told she would put my order in again!! I said just bring my bill so i could square up , i had things to do and couldnt wait sny longer! Took another 5 minutes before she came back and said coffee was on her!! Unreal. Worst service ever, had slow service there previously but this was ridiculous, ill never go back again , horrible service and only one waitress who obviously didnt have a clue! And people who ate my breakfast knew they hadnt ordered it but ate it anyway instead of telling waitress it wasnt mine!!! If you want a good reasonably priced breakfast with awsome service go to The Galley in Bath. 1/2 the price and great service.

If you're looking for a classic, no-frills breakfast spot, Southgate Family Restaurant is exactly…read morewhere you want to be. It's cozy, homey, and feels like a true small-town diner. The pancakes are literally as big as your face, the kind of breakfast comfort food that hits just right. The food overall was solid. Simple, hearty, and exactly what you'd expect from a local favorite. Coffee is your standard diner brew (nothing fancy, but it keeps coming), and the service was genuinely amazing, friendly, fast, and welcoming. Just a heads-up: there's not a ton of seating, so if you're visiting during busy season, be prepared for a little wait. Totally worth it, though, for that classic Maine breakfast charm.

Few outdoor seats on porch with some seats that have views of the Kennebec River. You grab your own drinks inside or at the coffee station (it's Benbow's too).

We tried the BLT and added chicken salad and the Grilled Corned Beef reuben and split. You get a bag of chips and pickles. We also got a side of the large pasta salad. It was mayo based but not heavy. It had olives which I dont really like but I could pick them out, didn't taste olivey. Inside is a bakery case. They had a few sconces including a blackberry one that looked so juicy (as opposed to dry that sconces are known to be).

So our dinner stop before heading to Boothbay was Five Islands Lobster. We arrived around 4pm, just before a dinner rush. Parking is tight, but you make do. I was able to find a spot to accommodate my care and the small packing trailer on the hitch. Once we were parked we made our way to the buildings. The one building you order your lobster, another building you order other items. It was a very easy and simple process. Between all of us there was so much lobster and other fine dining options. The lobster was fresh and sweet. It was very delicious. The lobster came with corn and potatoes. The butter was perfect! It had that foaming too I love! My husband enjoyed his fried haddock sandwich and the fried scallops. He raved about the fried scallops. The staff were great. They were kind, helpful and hard working. The view was stunning. I saw a loon and was able to adventure on the rocks during low tide. Overall this was a beautiful spot to start our Maine vacation. I highly recommend checking out Five Islands Lobster

We ordered 2 2lb lobsters, onion rings, and fried oysters. The lobster meat came right out of the shell (shout out to some man on the dock who helped us Marylanders with some verbal direction) and were full and flavorful! We are big crab eaters but it takes about 6 or more XL crabs to feel as full as we did with one lobster! The onion rings and oysters were perfectly fried and just as delicious. The oysters came with fries (which explains the ketchup) as well and all were large portions. It was the perfect location too! Not noisy, beautiful scenery, and just all around a great atmosphere.

This is an excellent museum which highlights Bath's proud history of shipbuilding in Maine…read more Although the admission fee is high ($20 or $22), it helps to support the volunteers and activities of the museum. We only had 2 hours available, so we focused largely on the exhibits. The museum includes various buildings which highlight different aspect of shipbuilding from caulking, blacksmithing, and building skiffs (modern day boats used to travel on Maine's coastal waterways). We loved the exhibit on lobstering in Maine - with superb displays that showed why Maine's lobsters are prized worldwide (they have the best claw meat), and a colorful display of buoys and traps. Talking with volunteers about the art of woodcarving and building skiffs was very interesting. It was cool to see the flagpoles (representing the Wyoming schooner) and Bath Iron Works in the distance (a current shipyard for the U.S. Navy). Since we only had 2 hours available from 10am-12pm, we could not join the afternoon lighthouse cruises (which looked like fun). Overall, we enjoyed our visit to the Maine Maritime Museum! You'll learn a lot about Bath's proud history of shipbuilding and the tradition of lobstering in Maine.

I have done cruises, taken classes, and attended dinners here, and each experience was such a treat! I know that I will NEVER again watch fireworks from shore when it was so much better to watch them from the water. I highly recommend becoming a Museum member, not just for the event discounts, but just to have access to the beautiful grounds. I have whiled away more than one afternoon, watching the beautiful Kennebec River and all the wildlife from the grassy shore. This Museum is so much more than a museum; it's a celebration of Bath's relationship with the sea. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would!
