    Regular Lobster roll and small fries
    Chris S.

    I decided to go here to get my "once a year" lobster roll, and had my craving curbed. Food was good. As expected with the price of lobster, it was a bit expensive, but that's just the market price. Fries were good too! I'm not one to rate a lobster roll, as I'm not particularly a huge lobster fan, but this one tasted pretty good all things considered! Toasted bun and light mayo, which is how I'm told the true Mainers do it lol

    Cindy's place.  Yummy lobster roll
    David J.

    Ok I just ate this lobster roll and my mouth is singing. Best lobster roll I have had in a very long time. The girls at the counter are nice and efficient. Love the little picnic tables. Only problem is the loud car noises from I-95. Not really that bad but know before you go. Love the food. The fried clams are awesome too.

    When in Maine one has to try the lobster! We came across this little gem. Ordered a fresh roll and it was so tasty that I wanted five more. However that would have broke the budget. The fries were in need of salt but we managed. The outside was nice to sit and eat and on a sunnier day I can see the appeal. The service was informative and helpful. Also willing to ensure we got our order right.

    I can't believe I haven't done a review yet. I come a couple times every summer - whenever I have company "from away". Today I treated myself. The lobster rolls are legit but I also love the crabmeat. It's a good amount of meat and the roll is always toasted, perfectly. Splurge for the tots - and get the dipping sauce. Sooo good. They make it right here.

    Under new ownership. Lobster rolls still great. Fish and shrimp are good. Fries are a bit dark, yet often soggy (like Day's Crabmeat and Lobster fries).

    Cindy's is a roadside stand complete with picnic tables and umbrellas. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. Just plain old good food. They stick to the basics and do them right. Plenty of parking. Just south of Freeport of Rt 1. You can hear the 95 traffic behind you.

    Tried this place for the first time today after driving by it for many years. My wife and I are a bit snobby about our lobster rolls and do not suffer poor offerings well. Cindy's provided a decent lobster roll that was worth the visit. The lobster was served on a typical, standard sized, buttered and grilled NE style hotdog bun. Just for the record, there is no other acceptable option in my opinion. The meat was cut into good size chunks and was available plain, with mayo or butter. The price was decent... $17.99 for a small roll and the service was fast and friendly.

    A wonderful lobster shack off the side of the road. As many in this area are, it's not fancy, but they have delicious food. Had the lobster roll and I was so excited, the picture may have been taken once the roll was halfway gone! Very friendly with picnic benches in both the sun and the shade.

    5 or 6 scallops, maybe 10 clams and fish chunks not a piece of fish.  Not ok for being this close to the coast.

    The lobster rolls were ok. Not worth the price if you enjoy lobster. If you come up to marine for lobster, I'd head some place else.

    First, We're locals, not tourists. We've been repeat…read morecustomers for years. No stars given. After 1hr and 45 minutes of waiting for our food, promises that the food is coming from the poor waitress, no food. The restaurant was emptying out. Mind you, this is for two plates of scrambled eggs, toast and home fries. This was the attitude directly from the owner to the waitress. The owner could have cared less. The worst treatment I've ever experienced from a breakfast joint. I'll never go again and would advise people to not go as well. 0 out of 10 rating. The waitress was apologetic and frankly embarrassed by the owner's attitude.

I will say they appear to have their baked goods as well as many different food options like sandwiches but my review is strictly for the coffee. Once you enter to the right is all the different seating with a good variety of tables and chairs but also some more comfy choices like couches. Quite a large space inside and a handful of tables outside to enjoy the nice weather. You order at the counter and then they have a spot further down where they'll call out your name for both food and drinks. They had a section on the menu called the MET Artistic Lattes which was their version of specialty flavored lattes. This caught our eyes. My wife went with the Falcon Pride (chocolate & white chocolate latte) and I went with the Vanilla Bean Dream (white chocolate & vanilla). Drink wise they were both pretty good! Didn't become a new favorite coffee spot but good enough we would return if we found ourselves in the area looking for coffee again. To have a real strong opinion I would need to return and try some of the food rather than just the coffee.

And though we've enjoyed many of their outstanding meat cuts, a variety of local items they carry and their full liquor selections, I've come to Yelp today to sing the praises of their store made smoked salmon salad with salmon supplied from Maine's Duck Trap fisheries. This salad is first of all salmony, appropriately salty, chunky, and filled with tiny bits of red onion and celery and just enough mayo to hold it together. What a great find at this fun to shop at market. I eat it on Triscuits, corn chips, baby carrots, or to be embarrassingly honest...from my finger. I love it when I discover something previously unknown to me. And though I have been eating smoked salmon, lox/Nova since early childhood, I am so happy to have recently found this. Great job Bow Street Market! It's sold in various sized small tubs at $10.99/lb. and well worth this price.

I love local markets like this with fresh items and a deli when I travel and I'm so glad we found this. They had my baby's favorite snacks in the toddler section and some delicious grab and go drinks in the cooler as well. They won't have all the things since it's a smaller, boutique market, but quality is here.

Food was good. I got the Rueben and up charged for small fries. Fries are shoestring type and were seasoned appropriately.

We still love their smashburgers - you can get a signature one and you can build your own - they have really expanded options over the past 5 years. The chicken sandwiches are always so good. I recently discovered I loved the Jalapeño Popper Chicken sandwich. Their fries are always so great - especially if you have queso. Speaking of queso - one of the best things they have added to their appetizer menu...chips and queso- We love eating the leftover queso with our fries with our sandwiches. Chips have a lovely seasoning - sometimes a little heavy handed with flavor - but they are still delicious. I love their breadstick/pizza appetizer. it's more a focaccia bread and it's soooo good. Sometimes I just have that for my main meal. They have wonderful local beers in the cooler and wonderful sparkling non-alcoholic options as well. Don't forget to ask about their specials. In January we had the chicken curry soup - holy moly - it was SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!! And the warm pita that accompanies it. It's perfect. The shaved brussel sprout caesar is soooo good and VERY filling. While it's a small dining area - we have never found it crowded where there weren't seats. The food is just as delicious to-go. They do a ton of to-go orders. We will continue to be regulars (no less than 1x every couple of months). Don't forget you can earn Toastab Rewards!

Warning - it's a one way in and one way out lot! There are signs, however, I have seen some people either not see them or ignore them. Drive slowly. Reservations - Easy peasy via the Resy App! I highly recommend reservations even on days you think it might be slow. This place is a main hub for the town and surrounding towns for a nice sit down dinner that isn't too casual.

The bun was not good at all, and I know it is probably mainly because it is GF, but it's just a shame we can't get better GF bread easier nowadays, and we pay more to have it. The amount of lobster was also super disappointing, which was frustrating because I thought I saw someone else with a lobster roll that looked pretty substantial. My mom got the fried shrimp basket and the shrimp were so tiny, similar to what you'd get at a fast food place when you order shrimp. Terrible! My bill was over $200 for 7 of us, and I left feeling disappointed about how they executed GF and the quality of their seafood.
