    View from the dock bar.
    Ike R.

    Came here at 3 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon. Which is a good time to come cause you could actually get seated out on the dock. There is an inside area for dining and upstairs area for dining as well as a fabulous fabulous seafood store and a wonderful gift shop that has all kinds of Robinson wharf swag. Your dog is welcome out on the dock. The cocktails were excellent and it was fabulous to be able to sit outside. I always get my lobster there.

    Great food location and service. I know food costs are extremely high but it was a bit pricey for a lobster dinner.

    Lobster roll

    Stopped in for lunch. Talk about fresh off the boat! It doesn't get any fresher than this! The lobster boats literally pull in at this restaurant! We had the clam chowder, the lobster roll, and the haddock taco's. The chowder was among the best I've ever had! The lobster roll was outstanding! Absolutely loaded with fresh caught lobster meat! My wife's haddock tacos were spot on good. It was really neat to eat lunch over looking the lobster boats! Highly recommend this place!

    Lazy lobster dinner ( to go)

    A local favorite! We've been coming here gir years and it's always our first stop when we get to our summer home in Maine, every summer! They have indoor & outdoor seating, as well as rooftop seating. It's a great, casual ambiance with great service & great food! It's on the water, so you have nice views. We come to lunch often by boat. I recommend the mussels in white wine sauce. Delicious & enough to share. My family orders the lobster rolls , but I prefer their lazy lobster. The fish tacos are good( 2 per order ) with a mexican vibe. You can't go wrong with anything here! It's our "go to " for lunches with friends, family dinners and sometimes to carry out & eat at home .

    Had a great dinner with friends enjoyed singing along to the great band but take note it was pretty loud...food is always to die for, they have a new chef I hear this year and it shows it very great change of food from last season but it's always good never had a bad meal!! Service is always great I admit a little slow but that was because they were extremely swamped with people with the band playing and all and not having the outside open yet because of the weather! Can't wait to get back!! That smash burger is the bomb!! Also bathrooms are outside and the nicest and cleanest in the area!!!

    Someone at Your Restaurant charged 12$s  to my CC. today. Please question your staff & let me know what you find. Connie Heroy 207-350-5279

    this restaurant is close to where I live on Southport Island. The variety of food is great and they always have specials, which are very good too The service is really good And in the summertime, you can sit up outside on the deck

    Receipt including "service fee"

    This is a $30 entree at Robinsons. A maybe 6 oz piece of haddock, 6 small wedges of potato, and some mush they claim is zucchini and summer squash. If I knew this was one of those rip off the tourists places I'd have ordered elsewhere. My first and last time there. Room key in pic for reference.

    Can't decide on dessert??! Order all of them and share:) you will love this approach!!

Unfortunately, this time I was met by a very unfriendly hostess ( and I remembered her being very unfriendly to customers last time I was here!) when I tried to order something to go for my husband , while I would dine , she said I couldn't do that. She informed me that I couldn't get anything to go because there's only one cook . So I said that was fine , I'll just dine here and take the rest boxed up when I'm ready. She still said no!? Then the waiters and waitresses recognized me as a regular and greeted me ! It certainly wasn't what I was expecting as I just landed from two very long flights to get here and literally put my suitcases down and came straight to Cozy's !!!! I ended up coming in and sitting outside to eat . My waiter assured me I could get a box for whatever food I didn't finish . We just landed back for the month of July after being here in May and June! We ate here once or twice a week and always recommended to our cousins and friends and people who are new to town ! I do recall our last meal here be fore we left at the end of June , this same hostess ( brunette wit hair up ) being very rude to customers then, as well. Mike and Andre and the waitresses and young bus boys are all so friendly and our family has been coming here for generations! It's a shame that this one person is ruining the vibe.. Unfortunately, I will think twice before wanting to come here again. * If you're looking for food recommendations, I don't think you can go wrong with anything , but the fish tacos are my favorite and I order them every single time I'm here! My husband loves the street dogs and if you're a Chicago Cubs fan, you'll understand why! They taste just like a Chicago dog at Wrigley Field! We've had the burgers here too, and they are very good. The Berry salad is delicious , if you're going for something healthier and you can always add a protein .We love adding blackened scallops to it ! if you do choose to dine here , hopefully that ride hostess will have moved on.

    Blackened Halibut tacos were incredible. Enjoyed the location and the food. Dessert was tasty, too.read more

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.

Call me miserable, maybe I suppose. In addition to the merry old fella belting it out on the mic, we had the joy of having some drunk guy in a large group behind us try and out sing him without a microphone. He even challenged the old guy singing to a form of a duel. Anyway I was so off, I cannot remember anything about my server at all. Nothing. I do remember almost screaming and running out. I sat there trying not to lose it while my wife had the time of her life. Every song made it worse, everyone else is singing, I am dying. When the guy took a break, guess what, dickhead from the crowd goes up and takes over. Shots helped at this point and the weed is kicking in well at this point. Now I'm hungry... My food was inedible and I'm pretty sure incomplete as well. The worst flatbread in the history of flatbreads.

You have to watch carefully or map to the location, as the passing road is fast and you can drive by it without even realizing it. It's a small building with a decent sized parking lot - maybe can fit 10 or so cars. There is a picnic area to the side of the trailer, that has several picnic tables and a couple of little ones/lower to the ground. Very cute. Some tables with umbrellas for cover from the sun and in our case that day...brief relief from the rain, until it became sideways torrential rain. Plenty of garbage and recycling containers that are easy to locate and helps keep the place neat and free from debris flying around. It's not an extensive menu, however, the items we have ordered are fresh and flavorful. Item that stood out to us, the blueberry coleslaw. It's very very refreshing.

We sat at the tables as long as we could until the rain was coming down in sheets. We were soaked, so we ran to our cars...the staff saw what was happening, changed our order as "to go" and the gentleman ran the bagged orders to our cars with napkins and every thing we needed to enjoy our food. Great service! My fish basked was delicious. Love the fries that come with it as well. Plenty of fish, so much so, I had to give some to my husband to finish off. I love the finishing touches...may not seem like much to some, however, they take the time to put a tiny flower on each dinner. My niece and nephew loved it!! The bathrooms are in a separate building and are really nice. I thought they might be a potty, but they are fully plumbed, running water and electricity. I definitely will stop again, if it times right with our trips to the gardens and they are open. Great staff, easy location and great food.
