Was shooting up to the Maine Coast for a lobster dinner and it was lunchtime, so I needed a little…read moresomething to tide me over. I very rarely see Popeye's in my travels as they tend to be located more in inner-city type areas. I was surprised to find one at a rest area next to coastal Maine. I expected a long line as the other options were Burger King, etc. ... there were about 10 people in line before me and it took 20 - 25 minutes all said and done. This won't be a quick stop ... however, the quality of the food was equal to other Popeye's chicken stores I have been to. Normally the quality goes down in this order: street side restaurants ... rest areas off the highway ... airports. I got my typical meal of 3 chicken tenders, mac and cheese and a biscuit (which I don't usually eat). It was a dollar or two more than a standard restaurant ... which isn't too bad considering that rest area food is normally more expensive. Popeyes is so good that I usually make the mistake of opting for the 5 piece tenders, which is way too much chicken! They give you GIANT tenders at Popeye's. If you haven't had Popeye's, you are missing out! It is like the KFC you remembered if you grew up in the 1980's before they were bought out and now serve absolute garbage food. Fresh-tasting ... moist ... crispy ... and not sitting under a heatlamp makes Popeye's so good. I will admit that the colonel's chicken batter is a bit tastier, but the quality makes the difference. Even the mac and cheese is perfect ... Anthony Bourdain mentioned Popeye's mac and cheese was a guilty pleasure of his. Unlike the soupy, runny mess of KFC. If you are hungry and driving through coastal Maine, it's a great spot for a great chicken meal. It won't be cheap ... and it won't necessarily be fast ... but even at a rest area, Popeye's doesn't disappoint. I do think they should give you more sauces though. The workers here work hard, even if things move slow.

We couldn't believe how much was put into the ice cream, usually when you get these they become very plain at the bottom but these were the best blizzards we've ever had, totally worth our money.

One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point. We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling. I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating. So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip.

I ordered pan-blackened haddock tacos - but asked that instead of them being in tortillas, could the ingredients just be "thrown into a bowl?" I was being high-maintenance right out of the gate. I realized that this was a weird request. I'm not sure what my deal was, I just felt like having things in a bowl that day (insert shrug here). Our server's name was Shane and she was so pleasant and more than happy to put my odd request in (side note, she was phenomenal for our entire visit! Thank you Shane!) The end-result of my bizarre request was the most delicious bowl of yum ever! Truly, if haddock is your thing, give it a try. It looked delicious, it tasted even better; holy moly, the people in the kitchen totally understood the assignment. Shane even said she showed it off to the other people working before bringing it to our table. It really, truly was that good. I'm still dreaming about it. Basically, Federal Jack's has it all: a phenomenal menu, awesome food, wonderful staff, great vibes. It's the kind of place you want to revisit, and wish you lived closer to.

That happens; we understand. We were then seated in a narrow, uncomfortable booth inside (three of us). And then we had difficulty conversing with a lot of customer noise surrounding us. So maybe we weren't in the best mood. They didn't have the beer we ordered off the menu. Ok, that happens. When we asked for a substitute side we were told bluntly no substitutes are allowed. Nobody said "sorry." So our mood wasn't getting better. And the crab cake appetizer was bland. But -- the seafood dishes were good: the Newberg ($38) was rich and tasty and so were the Duke (scallops, shrimp, lobster, haddock - $40) and the Duchess (scallops, shrimp lobster - $38). We passed on dessert, filled but not exactly happy with our entire experience. Oh yeah, our server apparently forgot us when it came time to give us the bill. We waited and waited.
