Fried whole clams
Scott V.

Clams were excellent drinks overpriced waterside location great xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brian C.

ABSOLUTE BEST spot on the causeway in Naples. Went for a quick bite and stayed for live music and drinks by the fire pit! Everyone had a blast. The food and drinks were awesome, and the staff is super friendly!

Lobster Pop Over
Lindsay C.

I came back for the lobster popovers and strawberry guava beverage ! The pop overs were better than the ones I had at the fair ! We also ordered onion rings , Blueberry BBQ Pork Sandwich and Strawberry Shake . Outdoor Seating only .

Lobster Popover
C P.

Wow, the lobster popovers are very delicious, never mind a delight to find on a menu! The jalapeño margarita was quite tasty as well.

Mallory H.

service was quick and phenomenal! Katie was so informative and helpful with great knowledge on the menu. Her bright personality truly made our night, and experience here so wonderful. food can be a little pricey but is some of the best in the area. Fireplaces and outdoor seating. They have handmade ranch and it is so delicious !!

Two lobster claws on my last bite. Yummm

Amazing Maine and Connecticut lobster rolls. The sizes of the lobster meat was huge and the portion of lobster spilled out of the roll. 10/10 recomend

Look at the amount of haddock and the herbed fries!

WONDERFUL! We were treated like royalty. The weather was cold that day and they actually weren't open. The owner / chef happened to be there and offered to cook us what we wanted. As she prepared the fresh just-delivered haddock for us , we enjoyed our cocktails. I told her that I felt like Taylor Swift! The haddock sandwich was lightly battered and absolutely delicious!

Lobster Stew
Liz B.

The homemade iced tea and lemonade were delicious. The lobster popovers and the lobster stew were divine. Even my side salad was excellent. Only thing to steer clear of are the mozzarella sticks. Also wish they had dessert. The staff were simply lovely. New fave.

Fryeburg Fair Finale

Pros: So Many! The young woman at the window immediately got my children their drinks on a very hot day. She also asked if we'd like the ice cream with the meal or after so it wouldn't melt while we were enjoying the food. Greeted by everyone who worked the front and they were all very friendly/helpful. Food was excellent. The lobster popovers were a great value for the price (and delicious!) the fries have a great crispy exterior with soft potato inside. Perfectly fried. The seasoning on them was awesome. Kids meals were straightforward and simple which is exactly how my kids want their food. Cons: Food took about 40 minutes after online ordering. I'm not opposed to waiting for quality but would be helpful to accurately communicate the time it will take to prepare. The outdoor patio had a great atmosphere. You can tell the owner takes pride in his family's establishment. We will be back!

I ordered the lobster and steamers, and they were extremely overcooked to the point where I couldn't even eat them.

Wow, what a find this place is. A bartender that I met in the area suggested it and I'm glad she…read moredid. Make a reservation, it's a busy spot. The ambiance was awesome, very comfortable with an excellent team at work. We lucked out the day we visited and sat at the bar for dinner (which we actually preferred that day so we were excited). Hubby tried a couple of Orono Maine beers which he enjoyed very much. I enjoyed the Raspberry Marguerita's. We started with the stuffed mushrooms. When I tell you they were the best I ever had, believe me. I'm not a seafood girl so I enjoyed the sausage and herb stuffing and they were smothered in the most delicious cheese I ever tasted. It's hard to find a stuffed mushroom that's not stuffed with seafood so I was a happy girl. Most delectable and I'll be ordering those again. We weren't in an entree mood so I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries (one of the best burgers I have ever had) cooked perfectly the way I asked with delicious French fries. He enjoyed the poultryguist chicken sandwich which he loved also with fries. His sandwich was huge, he actually took half of it home. They also have yummy homemade chips on the menu and once he saw them, he also ordered a bag of those to go before we left. Desserts were brought around on a tray - there was not one that didn't look absolutely delectable and we saw a few people get the brownie sundaes (pretty generous in size). We were so full so we are going to visit again to try an entree and desserts! Service was outstanding. Most professional I've seen in this area that really gives this place a step up from the norm. We look forward to visiting again and I'll make a reservation as the place was quite busy when we left. Thanks Krista and team, what an awesome place to visit and we can't wait to return again soon. I'm so happy we live close by. I left my phone in my truck this visit, sorry no pics. I prefer to enjoy my meals without the phone in my hand. Bon appetite!

I finally came in for the first time about a week ago. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. It wasn't bad, but it also didn't wow me. It was fine. My boyfriend, on the other hand, loved his burger. The portions are definitely generous, so come hungry. The service was friendly and attentive, and I really enjoyed sitting in the back under the lanterns. Cute and cozy atmosphere. Overall, I'd give this place another try, but it's not somewhere I'm rushing to go back to.

The service was great. Very attentive and efficient. The food was as great. My party had a variety of items, from the beet & goat cheese salad, deviled eggs, pancetta and Brussels sprouts, cheeseburger, and BLT with Lobster. Everything was high quality and delicious. The fries which came on the side of the burgers and sandwiches were also excellent. The restaurant has a nice outdoor space but the weather was a little rainy the day we went so we didn't sit outside. I do suggest they add more barriers and greenery/plants to separate the beautiful outdoor seating space from the parking lot across the way.

We ordered the surf (scallops) and turf, lobster roll, and pasta for my 6 year old. The Scallops was cooked to perfection. You can choose between scallops, lobster, or shrimp as your surf protein. The lobster roll was great. They accommodated my 6 year old flavor profile and gave red sauce on the side. Aside from the food and space, Mark and Celine exemplify the epitome of hospitality and service recovery. There was a minor hiccup during our meal. And Mark, the manager, went above and beyond to amend the mistake. Thank you Mark and Celine for a great dinner after a long day exploring. My daughter couldn't stop talking about the cookies and chocolate ice cream.

We came in for dinner with some friends who were leaving for the season and had an amazing dinner…read more Our server Sarah was fantastic. She gave us some great wine recommendations and checked in throughout the night without ever being overbearing. Cocktails were on point too -- Sue and Brad clearly have it dialed in. I had the seared ahi tuna, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had. Our friends had the Tuscan chicken special over rice, the ribs, and the steak. Everything was excellent. Bridgton is lucky to have a place like Black Horse Tavern. They've been doing this for decades, and it shows -- great food, great drinks, great service, and people who know how to run a restaurant. We had a great night and will definitely be back.

When seated I had no problem that I wasn't seen until 5 minutes passed, or that I was not handed a drink menu until I asked for one. What I do have a problem with however is being treated differently to other patrons for no apparent reason. Visiting this town as a person of Latino descent has been a joy so far but at the Black Horse Tavern I finally understood why I was warned about coming to Bridgton. After the hostess sat us down, we waited about 5 minutes to see hour waitress, as she approached our table she immediately asked if we wanted drinks or appetizers, my boyfriend asked for a drink menu which seemed to bother her. After receiving the drink menu we waited another 5 minutes to then be met with another waitress because our original one passed us off to someone else who ended up taking our drink and entree orders. The original waitress did eventually return with our said beverages she slammed them down in front of my boyfriend and I. The only reason I know the waitress's name is Shannon is because I heard her greet another table and because it was on my receipt. We carried on and made the best of our situation as we enjoyed what we could of our dinner but even as she returned with the bill, she slammed it in front of my boyfriend yet again and continued having pleasant conversations with another group of people. As we left we didn't even get a "thanks for coming" or a "goodnight" as we left the restaurant.

The menu (as far as I could tell) changes frequently, and it features several vegetarian dishes and small plates, in addition to other mains. The drink menu had some really fun offerings, and both cocktails were got were delicious. The food was very good as well, but nothing that blew us away. We were disappointed that they sat us in a different part of the restaurant than we reserved, which felt odd considering we specifically had to choose which area we were reserving a table in and it wasn't a busy night, but it was no big deal at all. All around was a great experience and we will return.

It's by far the nicest restaurant in the area, and if you live in this region it's the clear and obvious first choice for elevated dining. Just know that you'll be paying for it. At 5 pm on a Saturday Yolked was bustling, with a full bar and many tables already taken. We were able to snag bar seats after a 20 minute wait. If the 90 minute seating rule was in effect, no one told us at the bar and we did not notice. Service was impeccable from the friendly bartenders. We decided to split the Dill Cream Roasted Beets ($21) and Citrus Miso Carrot Ribbons ($20) for appetizers. The beets were the clear winner, served warm, and I only wish I ordered the Focaccia ($11) to dip in the irresistible sour cream and dill sauce. The Duck Ragu ($46) entree was huge and we enjoyed, though the pappardelle noodles were over a foot long. I considered Lady and the Tramping it but was overruled. The special Apple Crisp dessert with ice cream was a perfect early fall dessert. So, why 4 stars? The prices here are extreme. Appetizers are in the $20's, entrees in the $40's and the cheapest glass of wine on the menu is $14. I always pose this question: Can I eat at Scales for cheaper? When the answer is "yes," then I'd rather just go to Scales. And Yolked is easily more expensive than Scales, even if you only get a burger. Also, it's extremely, exceptionally loud. That's not a big problem for me, but something to keep in mind. Overall, Yolked is by far the best restaurant in the area. It's a stylish spot with very good food. Just make sure your credit card gives extra points for dining.
