The burger meat itself was a great flavor, with the toppings of tomato, pickle, lettuce, ketchup, mustard and onion (they grilled the onion upon our request, which added to the flavor we all enjoy). Definitely needs 7 napkins! We enjoyed our take out burgers at the picnic tables available outside. We got a couple fudges for dessert later and it was good, basic fudge. The only thing we didn't care for was the almost puréed texture of the coleslaw. Overall, a must-stop gem of a place.

We visited The Dry Dock in Rockland this October and absolutely loved it. From the moment we…read morearrived, it had that warm, welcoming local feel that makes you instantly comfortable. Even though there was about a five-minute wait for a table, two separate locals sitting at the bar offered us their seats--such a genuine reflection of the friendly atmosphere here! Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The highlight of the night was the 1 1/4-pound steamed lobster special for just $29--perfectly cooked and such a great value! The Dry Dock truly captures the spirit of Maine hospitality--great people, great food, and a relaxed coastal vibe. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Rockland!

My sister and I had been walking around Rockland, not a city with a shortage of good places to eat,…read morebut I kind of wanted a place I hadn't been before, that was close to her apartment. We settled on Waterworks and it was great! Despite our walking we weren't overly hungry and so decided to split a turkey club (another benefit of splitting it was that we could have onion rings!). The staff couldn't have been nicer - and although it was a bit slow, when the sandwich arrived it was perfect - yummy real turkey on sourdough with a nice lettuce and tomato, crispy bacon and just the right amount of mayo. We opted for onion rings - and they are the good kind - thin, crispy, not frozen. It was all totally delicious.

We were looking for a restaurant within walking distance from our hotel. We researched and found…read morethis one was close by so we set out to find it. It's located off the main drag. This is not a fancy place, just a friendly neighborhood bar. We were able to get a seat at 5:30 but by 6 the whole area was full including the bar and some of the outdoor seating. Gregory was our server and he was so helpful and attentive, answering my endless questions! I ordered the chopped salad with steak which was cooked perfectly and the salad was fresh. My partner ordered the burger with bacon, cheese and onion rings, and fries. We both agreed they were both great meals. The wait wasn't long, and it was a great ending to our day.

Sammy's deluxe... unforgettable experience. Was walking around Rockland and we just stumbled upon…read moreSammy's not knowing what to expect or what the menu was like. Sat at the bar since they were quite busy and haven't had a chance to clear a few tables. Restaurant reminds you of grandma's house, rustic, chic tables and chairs, mismatched dinnerwares and the whole ambiance playing "killin jive" from the 1940's. I wasn't born then but the whole vibe reminds you of that era that I only get a pleasure to watch on TV. Now for the food... Jonah's crab as you can expect was sweet and delicious but a pain to eat using your fighting tools however, the dip was heavenly. BF had the burger, he was surprised that you can't modify it, but thoroughly enjoyed how unique it was, I told him, the chef takes pride how he prepares his food, so you either take it as it is or get something else. Keep an open mind. And I had the overnight beef shank, wow, simple yet delicious, fork tender and luscious marrow. The celery and fennel salad added brightness to the dish and the blue cheese wasn't overwhelming. And I don't like blue cheese and this creativity made me wanting it more. The dish isn't a huge portion, but surprisingly it got me full that I left a few bites of the beef and the salad. For drinks, I had the Rosé and he had the New England India pale ale, light and bubbly. Service was okay, a little slow in the beginning and as the night went on, our server became friendlier.

She went without the french fries decided for their Caesar salad while I did their fish and chips with a Caesar in place of their chips. Our meals were terrific! My second piece of fish could've probably use another minute in the fryer. All said it was absolutely delicious! Would love to come back.

I would say that was a miss...I wouldn't go out of my way for lunch here but at least the wait wasn't like that of the Scratch Kitchen down the street. I'm giving them four stars because it was clear they were hustlers, short staffed, and trying their guts out to satisfy stupid questions by entitled baby boomers that wondered in and I felt for them. Food was basic and taste was decent, but pricey for the digs and felt they should've had on their website that it was cash only so we could be better prepared. So yes, the rating is based on empathy and not experience.

If you dined in, they gave you a little number and brought out drinks and food. We did not have a long wait before getting helped, we did take a moment to look at the expansive menu that was on the wall. My partner and I both got a drink and breakfast wrap which came out to be about $32 before tip. Our drinks were brought out shortly after we sat down. The iced chai latte was on the sweeter side but very yummy. The iced matcha was also good but I asked for some vanilla flavoring, not sure if it was added since it didn't taste too sweet. However, I think they may have a table to add more flavoring and sugars to make it just right! Lastly, the wraps were AMAZING! We got the Mexacali and the Lee's special wraps. It's safe to say that they were devoured. I'll be dreaming of these wraps for a long time. If we find ourselves in Rockland again, we will most definitely be coming back!
