The lobster was excellent! The corn was excellent as is! And the coleslaw was fresh and tasty! I loved the lobster the best! The kids can look at the lobsters right by where they are cooking them. The big kids(adults) can too. I liked that they had an outside and inside bar. The outside bar was full, and happening! There were also Adirondack chairs for hanging out. Families and groups are welcome! I think that dogs are even welcome outside because I saw water bowls on the dock outside eating area They have 1 accessible bathroom with a changing table at the end of the row of the unisex bathrooms .. 1 sink for all but it was sufficient! There is a lot of traffic between the seafood market, the he restaurant and the gift shop but it moves well. Everything was very well served. Portions were good! I would return. Very nice town too!

So our dinner stop before heading to Boothbay was Five Islands Lobster. We arrived around 4pm, just before a dinner rush. Parking is tight, but you make do. I was able to find a spot to accommodate my care and the small packing trailer on the hitch. Once we were parked we made our way to the buildings. The one building you order your lobster, another building you order other items. It was a very easy and simple process. Between all of us there was so much lobster and other fine dining options. The lobster was fresh and sweet. It was very delicious. The lobster came with corn and potatoes. The butter was perfect! It had that foaming too I love! My husband enjoyed his fried haddock sandwich and the fried scallops. He raved about the fried scallops. The staff were great. They were kind, helpful and hard working. The view was stunning. I saw a loon and was able to adventure on the rocks during low tide. Overall this was a beautiful spot to start our Maine vacation. I highly recommend checking out Five Islands Lobster

We ordered 2 2lb lobsters, onion rings, and fried oysters. The lobster meat came right out of the shell (shout out to some man on the dock who helped us Marylanders with some verbal direction) and were full and flavorful! We are big crab eaters but it takes about 6 or more XL crabs to feel as full as we did with one lobster! The onion rings and oysters were perfectly fried and just as delicious. The oysters came with fries (which explains the ketchup) as well and all were large portions. It was the perfect location too! Not noisy, beautiful scenery, and just all around a great atmosphere.

When they turn off the lights while you're eating and refuse to turn them back on. I took my mom here on Saturday night for her 74th birthday and the food was excellent and fairly priced. We were having so much fun until the lights went out while we were finishing up our dinner. I went up to the staff to let them know we were still eating and they pointed me to the manager who simply said we are closed! At no time did anyone let us know they were closing soon and that we needed to finish up or anything. The manager was so incredibly rude about it and he refused to give me his name.

I squeezed lemon into the hot butter, and poured it over the lobster. Husband had the crab roll - again very generous portion - and sooooo goooood! Wonderful flavor! Second time we visited, we both had the lobster roll with mayo. Again, a very generous portion topped with a large whole claw meat. What we especially liked was that it wasn't swimming in mayo, but just enough to lightly coat the meat so the true flavor shines through. A true Maine lobster roll and so reasonably priced! Staff is so friendly and you can tell they have a lot of pride in what they offer. It was like having a picnic with a nice view of the water and 1901 Footbridge.
