Husband and I ate here today because we remembered how good the food was when we ate there last year. Clam chowder was delicious and full of clams, potatoes, and seasoned perfectly. Husband had a 2 lb lobster that he said was delicious and we both had corn on the cob. Very impressed with the food and service.

This was a nice size restaurant, with lots of parking and it was very clean. Our waitress was very friendly. I ordered popcorn shrimp and my husband ordered haddock. We both enjoyed our meal. They gave you a small loaf of bread with your meal and that was tasty as well. The only problem was that once we had our meal our waitress never came back. She didn't check to see if we needed more water or anything else. We were thinking of dessert, but gave up that idea. I know she was very busy, but we couldn't even find her. FINALLY she came and we got the bill. The young girl at the check out asked how everything was. We told her the food was good, but there was a problem with the wait staff. She didn't say a word, just took our money. Talk about rude! Don't ask how things were if you really don't care. We had planned to go back the next night, but after that we changed our minds.

Seasonal restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, served on the banks of the historic Union River in Downtown Ellsworth. We pride ourselves on our traditional Downeast fare crafted with care and served with a smile.

We found this place on TripAdvisor. The only thing I can say good about the place is it had a nice view and the service at our table was good. We were beyond disappointed in the food. Worst lobster on our entire vacation (and we ate a lot of lobster). Two of us ordered the lobster and both were way, way over cooked. My spouse ordered fish tacos which was supposed to have Cajun seasoning. The fish was cooked fine but she said she couldnât taste any seasoning and the sauce was not good either in our opinion. What a let down.

Perfect stop to have a delicious meal in the Acadia region. Serving award winning BBQ and fresh local seafood.

The lobster roll had the least lobster on it out of multiple restaurants we tried in the area. The roll was not even opened... there was just some lobster on top of it making it look larger than it was. The haddock sandwich was very tasty. The coleslaw was bland. The french fries appeared to be fried twice and were hard. I couldn't even eat them. Based on the other reviews I would stick with the bbq.

We met friends for lunch and all but one ordered bbq. Everyone's plate was cleaned when we were done. The brisket and sausage sandwich was great and so was the pulled pork sandwich. The blueberry lemonade was very refreshing and the blueberry pie and blueberry ice cream was the perfect ending. Do not miss this place.

Been awhile since we were in the area, so happy to make a return visit. Saw big changes, all for the better. Have added an outside covered area, new picnic tables and restroom. We were headed there for their crab rolls but noticed haddock burgers on the menu. Love haddock so wanted to try it. It was so delicious. The bun was fresh, two pieces of fish, served with Cole slaw, fried and tartar sauce. Everything looked clean and fresh.

Wow. I only did take-out, but the Seafood Lasagne was excellent. And the Blueberry Pie was to die for! I liked it so much that I bought a whole pie to bring home.

Enjoyable dinner. Tried their "award winning" boneless chicken wings which were very good appetizer, enough to share. Ribs were ordered by several in our group and they enjoyed. Fish and chips, unfortunately one in our group prefers the "beer battered" vs flour base. All in all we were very happy with our dining experience. Nice presentations.

2. Ruth & Wimpy's

This seafood specialty restaurant has many dishes to suit every type and size of appetite. If you have never been to Maine or Ruth & Wimpy's before, try anything and everything lobster (truly their signature dish...they boil it when you buy it)...and...their steamed clams w/melted butter...or ANY of the wide variety of beef, chicken, soup, salads, pasta dishes...you name it or think of it, and they probably have it. Closed on Sundays (dammit!) they open at 2pm daily, and offer local cuisine to those who wish to experience the many delightful tastes of the "Down East" region of Maine. Located along Rt. 1 in Hancock, Maine, Ruth & Wimpy's is a local favorite that is also loved by tourists alike. My family & friends have been coming here for years, each summer that we visit Winter Harbor Maine (the lesser known Acadia National Park) and drive between Winter Harbor & Bar Harbor (the more known Acadia National Park), we stop at Ruth & Wimpy's for lunch (& Chester Pike's Galley on Rt. 1 in Sullivan, for breakfast)...it is a 'Must Go To'. Enjoy your experience with family & friends, and take home delicious memories! :-D

Lively atmosphere that felt welcoming. We had excellent food here and were disappointed when we discovered they were closed Mondays and Tuesdays. But the owner recommended other area restaurants, which were good. Nice variety of dishes, with reasonably priced drinks, wine and food. Looks like a place the locals frequent as well as visitors. Recommended!
