    Lobster roll with butter.

    Fresh from the sea. Very tasty. Outdoor setting. Friendly staff. Fair price for the quality.

    Probably our favorite place to get our lobster rolls in the entire state of Maine. Ordered two rolls two different styles. Clam chowder and fries were great additions to our meal. The lady who owns the business came out and talked with us several minutes to make sure we liked everything. Highly recommended stopping here if in the area.

    The location has been our goto in Boothbay for a long time. This is a new business (June of 25), and it's even better than the one that was here for years. Although the lobster rolls are great, I went for the crab roll. I'm even thinking of buying one or two for the trip back home.

    Lobster roll and fish-n-chips.

    The lobster roll here was amazing, WAY cheaper than the red place, and no line. The owner was so nice and the fries were also fabulous.

    Crab roll.  Super fresh and stuffed full.

    This is where we celebrated the anniversary of our 20 year marriage, and it was AWESOME !!! We…read moredined on their rustic patio, complete with twinkle lights and trees. We started with onion soup, which was OUTSTANDING !! It wasn't too salty, which is often an issue but not here. The broth was a perfect blend of onion and beef flavoring, just enough cheese and croutons but not overpowering... it was divine. It might've been the best I've ever had. We also got bread service that offered lightly grilled French bread. I don't know what the deal was, but it was so unbelievably tasty, and it was so soft, too. I don't know if it was the texture or the bread flavor, but something was different... that made it so amazing. Better than usual. I wanted to eat more, but I knew I was already getting full, so we left most of it. Drat. For an entree, my husband got the Atlantic salmon in a lobster veloute with farfalle and ratatouille. I tasted it, and it was excellent. Such great flavors. I got the cioppino, which had scallops, shrimp, and haddock in a herb-infused tomato sauce. I was a little shocked because it was spicy... good flavor, but spicy, and I wasn't expecting that. I wish the waitress would've told me ahead of time, but she didn't. I ended up not eating most of it because it was a bit too much for my palate. I hate wasting food, but the truth is I wouldn't have finished it anyway. I was already full from the onion soup and 1 piece of bread. For our celebratory dinner, we also split a dessert. I had read this place is known for their blueberry pie, which we were very interested in getting. Soooooooooo glad we did because it was EXCELLENT... and yes, it was a la mode... with vanilla ice cream. There was some crystalized sugar topping on the crust, which really added to the awesomeness of this dessert. We hit pay-dirt here. This meal was the highlight of our trip to Boothbay Harbor. I hope we will be able to return to this lovely harbor town because we will make a beeline to dine at Thistle Inn again. Too bad we live so far away. This is a wonderful dining establishment, and they made our 20th anniversary even more memorable !!

    We were walking around town and I remember seeing this place on the map. So we decided to at least…read moreget a visual of this place as it had positive reviews on Yelp - avg rating of 4.5 It was still fairly early, however we could see the line was forming. We decided to give it a chance, since most of the people there seemed to be local or at least seasonal locals. Given this was just a "snack" for us, we decided on a hotdog, cheeseburger and shared some fries. The ordering process can get a little chaotic, as there is a lot of conversation at the grill with orders being placed and prepared and people chatting in line. We placed our order and were given a number and you could stay at the window (which gets really crowded) or you can have a seat at the picnic table. I decided to wait near the window while I took pictures for Yelp. From what I could hear the prices of the seafood options are "high" although I didn't think it was unreasonable given how fresh the seafood is. We didn't even get seafood and really enjoyed our food. Very fresh and didn't have old grill flavor. We would definitely return if in the area, I would love to try the haddock if we had more time.

    Love this place!!! Drove by and had to stop. Super clean and inviting. Great out door seating and…read moreview of the bay. Total neighborhood feel. The guy who made our food was friendly, helpful and totally cool with us being there 5 mins before they closed. We had a lobster roll and a clam strip basket. Full of lobster! Huge strips! Totally worth the price. A must go.

(No "old" seafood smells like some restaurants that have a big seafood menu. That's a plus for me or anyone who doesn't eat seafood in a party who wants it.

    First time to BOOTHBAY HARBOR - We decided to go here for dinner. The A/C wasn't on and the room…read morewas very humid. We decided not to sit in the back as it was a crowd of people and it was already hot. I can't do hot while I eat - I made the best of it and we ordered food. We ordered fried calamari & scallops wrapped in bacon and we each had a clam roll. I can't eat white potatoes as it's inflammatory for my auto immune- no sweet potato was available - I do prefer them -or used to them- and so I got asparagus (odd for a substitute but it's veggies) this was a super treat I'm not sure how the crab should have tasted but it's not what I'm used to growing up so for me , I personally didn't like it and I didn't think the flavor was good - I added lemon- didn't seem to help. The atmosphere was great but the concentration was on that back room. The crab roll could have been better as I've had them before, calamari was good and scallops too. Also noting most of these restaurants never have NON COLA DIET SODA - It sits right in the harbor - the waitress engaged in conversation - a lot of these folks are immigrants on a work visa returning to the Harbor during summers & then fly to their countries until the next summer.
