In his words, Trust me. Pulled into the parking lot and almost pulled right back out. Not much to look at but we trusted the local. Our reward was the most fabulous fish dinner we've ever had. Tender, delicious baked haddock - an inch thick and so big it was hanging out over the sides of the plate. We felt like we discovered a hidden treasure!!

We especially like the angus burger and caesar salad. The onion rings are a bit greasy but worth it! And you absolutely must try the cheddar-ale soup. The interior dining is relaxing and you must try their outdoor tables as well when the weather is nice.

Sit-down restaurant and take-away service are both terrific. Do not think about visiting without ordering clam cakes. Lobster roll and sandwich are great and homemade pies round it out. Great summer shack.

However, in my past few visits, I've noticed a drop-off in quality. It is too bad, because I really used to like this place, but I don't think I'll go back.

The guy at the bar seemed not to care about anything but talking to his friends. Go to Chez Albert instead, have some real food served by nice people.

Had 3 seafood dishes amongst us, shrimp, scallops, and haddock. Food was VERY average at best, maybe okay if you are used to boxed or frozen seafood, but not a good example of Maine. Service was fairly good and quick but food wasn't worth coming back for..

Where can you get a great footlong hot dog with the works and a cold beer for $5.00! I just tried their hot buttered lobster roll dinner for $16.95 and it was wonderful. They have been in business for 31 years. They have no street exposure and yet at lunch they have a line of people out the door. They are now open evenings and I must mention that they are big Miami Dolphin fans, but they let Pats fans in.

The bread was too tough to tear. Yes, the view is great (if you have a seat that allows you to see it), but the food is overpriced. We asked for a table by the window and we were told these tables were reserved and would be occupied within the half hour. Well, during the hour we spent at the restaurant only one of the six window tables was used...

Not only do they offer an incredibly good value for the customer, but also deliver on what counts - the quality of the food (and quantity, too!). The moist, tender chicken is the main draw here, but the salads, steaks, french fries and pasta really taste great, too! What gives Wright's an additional edge is that it's...

Chef Maria, the matriarch of this family-owned restaurant, prepares her mole for 3 days. She cuts no corners and you can taste the difference. If you want authenticity, go!

The line passed through one door, by the counter, and out the other side of the tiny building. The long lines are gone, but the dogs are still just as good. World Famous Lawton's is worth the trip!!! P.S. Get onion rings on the side.

Restrooms very clean...there may be a long line waiting, but it moves right along quickly. The food is excellent...much variety, breakfast served all day. The waitresses are also excellent...always pleasant, always eager to please and always on the run. I'm never happy with prices anywhere, but compared to other places they are pretty darned good. You can't go wrong here...there is something for everyone.

You can get the same incredible food as the more elegant Pier 77 upstairs, but in a tiny little bar area with a great view, filled with the locals, and a wonderfully eccentric atmosphere to boot! I had the standard Maine fare of a lobster roll and their onion strings on the side. The onions were amazing as was their homemade smoked tomato ketchup. We also had great appetizers and shared a wonderful chocolate dessert (it was a year ago so I can't remember the details). When I go back to Kennebunkport, this is going to be my hangout.
