    Fog rolling in
    Corrie C.

    First time in Maine, and we're walking along Kennebeck River (sorry, if I misspelled it). Went to the Fort Popham - which was so cool and stopped for a cocktail and appetizers at Spinneys! Had a Maine Tai and a Maine Mojito and of course a half dozen oysters! Life is perfect! We sat outside and watched the fog roll in. What a day! The wait staff was so welcoming, and just made the experience top notch!

    Glad we stopped by this local spot. Best service we had thus far during our two week Maine coastal trip, from timely food to tasty cocktails. You have your choice of seating outside by the beach or indoors. Lots of choices of seating. Friendly staff. Started with lobster bisque with chunks of lobster on top. DELICIOUS. Our entree photos are posted, and you can see Tuna is Seared perfectly. Haddock Sandwich tasty with spicy mayo and Cole slaw. Solid fries. Leave room for the homemade Maine Blueberries pie with ice cream. Wow! We are coming back tomorrow! Came back next day and got the best chicken wings and Greek salad with blackened Haddock. Left room for home made mixed berry pie!

    They are open!

    I love Spinney's. I've been coming to this spot since I was about 8. Would have been earlier except I lived on the west coast most of my formative years. I have about 6 or 7 generations of family history in Bath. Spinney's is restful, a beautiful place to relax and view the grand Kennebec Rivers entrance to the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. It has gone through a few owners during my experience. The current and relatively new owners (2021?) are doing well. They modernized the bar area (see picture). I kind of liked the old one, but it's pretty. The food this summer was great during my first visit. My second visit, I had issue with my lobster roll. It was remedied with quickly, the new owner came out s d spoke with us. I was very satisfied with their response. The first visit of the summer we had a party of 13. We were accommodated professionally and on short notice. We had excellent food and service. I had a lobster roll during this visit and it was delicious and plentiful! Everyone went away filled, pleased and relaxed. My second visit was with a sister, we had a lovely and equivalent experience, sans the lobster roll. They did confirm there was a problem and they created a new batch and offered a replacement for me. Courtesy of the owner making a table side visit. I will coming back , a favorite of mine every year!

    Blueberry pie

    We were torn trying to decide where to eat for lunch. Tried Spinneys after change of ownership. Happy to say all three of our meals were great! Julian was an excellent server, guiding us through the menu. Top of the list was the Lobster BLT-- "Best BLT I've ever had!" Next best was the Seared Ahi Tuna sandwich. The combination of tuna topped with the seaweed salad was delicious. Finally-- Fish and Chips. A nice version of a classic. The pieces of haddock were thick and tender with a crunchy coating almost like fried chicken. All three meals came with fries which we all enjoyed-- so crispy, maybe double-fried? For dessert we had the blueberry pie a la mode, which was good. We sat on the outside patio on a picnic table right on the beach. Lovely!

    fried chicken sandwich

    Excellent service. I got the Popham Beach mocktail and it was very tasty and refreshing. The fried chicken sandwich was FIRE and came out quickly. Great location and great food! Definitely recommend checking it out.

    Lobster Bisque

    Just love this place while you're in the area. It's on the water next to a historic site. Great views, the inside is very cool with the blue bar lights, the exposed rafters, and the live lobster tanks. While I was eyeing up the tanks the owner came over explained to me about the anatomy of a lobster and how they operate. She and Gavin, our server, are super nice. I doubled down on the lobster. Ordered the lobster bisque which had tons of lobster meat chunks floating on the top. The lobster roll had a ton of meat inside of the bun. The food was good and I'd definitely come back when staying at Hermit Island Campground. Till next time......

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.

The waters are the coldest and deepest on the coast making delicious lobsters. They also have local dug clams, corn on the cob all cooked together giving it a delicious flavor. The fried onion rings are very good and large enough to share. The lobster rolls are delicious but the steamed lobsters are the best you can buy. We had 2 twin lobsters (1.25 lbs each) and corn on the cob for $30. You place your order at the Lobster hut (or other seafood and non seafood items at the Love Shack) and find a table on the docks. You can bring your own wine or beer. The water front view is breathtaking. Hands down the best lobster shack anywhere. Don't forget to get some ice cream before you leave. I had Wild Maine Blueberry and it was SO good!! Note... warning !! the only restrooms are 3 porta-John's and not very clean when we were there.

Everything from the food to the service was not just disappointing, it was offensive. They close at 4, we got there at 3:30 and were rushed the entire time. We ate outside. We asked for umbrellas for the picnic tables but they wouldn't provide them because they had already put them away as part of their closing chores. The teenagers were pushy about collecting our trays and were clearly motivated to leave by 4:00. The scallops were disappointing. They were flavorless and tough. The real reason for this review though was Anna herself. I'm still in shock at the way we were treated. She inappropriately yelled at my child for climbing on some maritime object. She embarrassed her and crushed her in front of everyone. It's a greasy spoon, family friendly restaurant with open fields where kids play. Kids make mistakes. And we tell our kids when they're making mistakes. But if an owner has items so precious to her, she could put up signs, fence things off, or just not leave them out in the open. She also could communicate her needs to people, including children, respectfully. But she didn't. I spoke with Anna privately at the end of the night saying she didn't have to scorn my child. She could have spoken to me or communicated without shaming her but she double-downed on her offensiveness, aggressively continuing to insult my child to my face. She behaved as if she was looking for a fight and needed a target to unleash her aggression on. In any event, as long as Anna is running Anna's restaurant, we will never return and I told her that. I don't think she will mind, she seemed to not want our business from the moment we got out of our cars today. I've just never experienced such ugly behavior before. She should be ashamed of herself. Maybe she's unwell and needs emotional and mental support. Tonight I'll pray that God gives her some grace and hopefully she can find some peace so she won't have to take out her aggression on her guests' children.

He had great recommendations for drinks, was very attentive and shared some fun stories about the resort where the restaurant is located. We started out with some of the restaurant's cocktails including a Portuguese Manhattan, a Blueberry Margarita and my favorite the Summer Sunset which was fruity and the perfect vacation drink. My husband enjoyed the Margarita but i think it was a bit too sweet for him to have more than one. We shared some appetizers including the Cauliflower Ceviche, which was a bit spicy for me but enjoyed by the rest of the table and then some BBQ Pub chips which had a yummy blue cheese sauce drizzled over them. For entrees our group had Fish n Chips (the fish was seasoned so well), Baked Scallops, Stuffed Mushroom, and the Spicy Mussels. My husband, who had ordered the Stuffed Mushroom, was very happy with his choice which came with rice and veggies. The only complaint was that the brussels sprouts which were part of multiple veggie side dishes were not cooked enough but all in all the food was really good. We also brought some dessert to go including two orders of the Creme Brulee Cheesecake, one Chocolate Turtle Cake and 1 piece of Blueberry Pie. All deserts were gobbled up later in the evening without a crumb left.
