Absolutely delicious! Arrived at 11:30am on. a Thursday and snagged the second to last table. Beware it's very small so you may have to wait but it's so worth it. Bonus is you have great river views. My colleague and I had the lobster roll hot with butter and it was incredible. Huge delicious pieces of lobster. And the fries were fresh and perfectly crunchy. I have nothing bad to say! Everything was so good, we each got a lobster grilled cheese to go for later. Parking- free spots in front. read more

Get your lobstaah and this is THE place to go if you are in Bangor. It is right on a river which is a beautiful setting. But the real reason to go is the generous helpings of lobster in their famous roll - truly amazing with just a touch light mayonnaise. Delicious. There is also plenty of other seafood offered if lobster is not your thing. Service was friendly but this place can get very busy as I found out and had to wait outside with my date. read more

First of all I would recommend this place. And it has an incredible amount of lobster on its Lobster roll that justify the 35.00 price. However, It is not the best lobster roll I have ever had like many reviews say. It is too heavy on the mayo and the bread is overly buttered. I had another roll. A few miles up the road that was hands down better tasting. Service was amazing and staff were great. Just not the rave I was expecting. read more

We tried a few other seafood restaurants in the area. Eagles nest is still the best due the increase in seafood prices they had had to raise their prices . The fishermen platter is out of this world . My service dog loved the haddock she had half of the fish in thr platter. read more

Eagles Nest Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Brewer, Maine

It has been decades since I've visited Maine and this place has great reviews for seafood. It's small and has a view of the river so waits for a table can be long. The lobster roll is huge and delicious, at the time of our visit was $35. My husband's fish & chips were apparently also a hit, though our best fish & chip experiences have both been in Canada. read more

This is a tiny hole in the wall restaurant sitting above the river we popped in on our road trip. The lobster roll was ridiculously big, the bread had no hope it was being crushed by the delicious lobster. Hubs had the unlimited fish and chips. His fish pieces was so big he really enjoyed it. The fries and coleslaw weee really great as well. We tried the Grape Nuts pudding- I personally thought it was foul but the hubs loved it- the texture and how the pudding was broken and weeping was a turn off for me, hubs ate the whole thing. Service was solid. read more

We shared the ginormous fried seafood platter with clam strips (and scallops and chunky delicious white fish, and fries) and lobster roll (definitively the most generous we had on our trip in Maine). Food was very tasty and it was more than enough for the four of us (two adults, 2 kids) with leftover to spare. Just a short wait for dinner on a Saturday pm at 5 o clock. read more

2 nights in a row..... no food for us!! Came on Saturday at 6:40.... Said they were closing up and couldnt serve us, but hours said until 7:00. She was super rude too, didn't care at all. Came tonight, Sunday at 6:00.... Door closed and cleaned up. Hours again said until 7:00. Fix your hours.... Not fair to customers that drive to your location an because you don't want to serve them or decide to close early...... Wish I could give the Eagles Nest a zero star rating. read more

Eagles Nest Restaurant - Door locked.... Hours say they should be open. Weird. - Seafood Near Me - Brewer, Maine

10/8/25 My husband and I stopped at Eagles Nest Restaurant after hearing it was a local favorite and it did not disappoint. I ordered the lobster roll and lobster stew and both were unbelievably fresh and full of flavor. Every bite was packed with tender lobster and it truly felt like a taste of the coast. Which is what I wanted to experience when I'm on this side of the country. The quality and portion were amazing for the value and I honestly wish every restaurant served lobster like this. The service was friendly and quick and the whole place had that cozy local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If we lived nearby I would absolutely come here every day. A true hidden gem for seafood lovers and one of those places that makes you fall in love with simple delicious food done right. read more

Wow. Wasn't expecting this place to give out so much lobster! This was nearly twice as much lobster on our lobster roll than the other places we have been this trip and it was very close in price. Additionally, the quality of lobster was fresher and softer here too! If you need your lobster fix, you have to check them out! They also have an all you can eat fish fry every day of the week and the portions on that are equally impressive. It is a small place on the inside and I think a lot of people do the takeout option. I'd eat here again for sure! Note: I forgot to take a pic of the full menu but there's some other food besides the specials written on the board I took a pic of! read more

Love this place Stopped in for an early lunch on Sunday. Heard great things about eating here and we were not disappointed. I g9t the clam strip dinner and my fiance got the lobster roll. OMG! So good and so much food! Cute little inside place to eat. Enough room people didn't have to be right up on each other. Our server was pleasant with a great personality. We will definitely be coming back for more! read more

We eat at Eagles Nest Restaurant every year when we come out to our place in Maine. I had lunch there twice in the past week! All of the seafood is delicious, with very generous portions. The servers are always friendly and attentive. Also, there really are eagles' nests along this section of the Penobscot River - I watched a bald eagle circling on each visit. read more

If you're flying into Bangor on your way to Bar Harbor-start your trip off right by stopping here. The lobster was so amazing here that we decided not to have any more for fear of being disappointed. This is a local small-town vibe diner with spectacular views of the water. It's tiny, but the service is fast and friendly, so if you happen to get there when it's full, I suggest waiting. What we got: the Lobster Salad. We were given dressing with our salad, but it was so flavorful that we didn't even need to put it on. We also got a cup of lobster stew. They give you so much lobster here, and it is, by far, the best I've ever had! We added a BLT to our soup and talked about stopping in on our way back home as we were leaving. Don't miss out on this gem of a place! read more

Lobster lobster lobster the stew was great the rolls are even better as soon as I come back to Bangor will definitely return

Exactly why we drove from NC to Maine. We got there about 30 min before closing so we were worried it may be rushed or not as good...there was no need to worry. The waitress was so friendly, efficient, and helpful. A real pleasure. I was looking for an authentic lobster roll and I got that. Full of juicy meat and the roll was buttery and melted in your mouth. They offer it hot with butter (just like I like it) or cold with mayo. The clam strips were terrific too and everything was made to order, hot and fresh. Grilled cheese will never be the same without lobster! We ended with, hands down, the best lemon meringue pie. The view by the river is so nice making this small place perfectly Maine! Loved every part of it!!! read more

This is a must visit spot in Bangor. Tiny place off the side of the highway. Small kitchen. HUGE flavor. Of course most people enter the door with a hankering for a delicious lobster roll, however they have lobster salad, all you can eat fish, and amazing pies. You will not be disappointed. There's usually two servers working with 7-8 tables. Food comes out fast and fresh. 10/10 I would recommend. Best lobster roll I've ever had in my travels. There's also a pretty large window in the dining room that overlooks the river. read more

No nonsense no frills place that you'd drive by if you didn't know better. Right on the side of the road with a great location, Eagle's Nest has a small number of tables but moves people through pretty quickly. The order window is convenient but the big story here is the food. Easily the best lobster roll we had in Maine (and we went to a great number of places for lobster), but the scallops were huge and so tasty, the portions were great. The Eagle's Nest lobster roll was so good that we stopped by and got one to go before heading to the airport to fly home. When we are back in Bangor we will be stopped here no questions read more

Hands-down, the best lobster rolls In or near Bangor. The lobster rolls were overstuffed, and the lobster itself was cooked to perfection. If ever back in Bangor would definitely go back again. read more

We read the reviews and decided to drive down from Brownville to try the haddock. It was amazingly good! We like ours cooked a little more than average and they honored that request to perfection. The fish was tender and delicious. This place really is small with about 8 tables. We arrived a few minutes before noon and we were seated right away at the window with a spectacular view of the river. The service was excellent. Some folks have commented that it is "pricey". I'm not sure how they arrived at that conclusion. My husband and I each had three large pieces of haddock on our plates. I think it was $18.99 each plate. If we had wanted to do the all you can eat fish fry it would have been $19.99. I don't consider that pricey. I did see the seafood platter and it was enormous! It could feed 3 average people easily. We will absolutely go again. read more

Worth the drive for sure! Otis quite small, but we got lucky and were seated immediately. The lobster roll was very generously filled with tender meat. Served cold, with a bit of mayonnaise to bind it together., we would have preferred it served warm with melted butter, but that is a personal preference. The haddock platter also was very generous. We saw a mixed seafood platter and it was ginormous. 4 people could easily share it read more

Ubered to here from the Bangor airport and it was worth the trip! I had the lobster roll and it came with crunchy delicious fries and coleslaw as well. The lobster roll ($31) was overflowing with lobster and was lightly flavored with sauce so you mainly taste the lobster itself. Service was great and they checked in on me a few times. The restaurant is small, but I got seated right away since I went around 4pm. I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for a good lobster roll. read more

Lunch today for 3 people. Service was slow, waitress (Michelle) was apparently having a bad day. We had a seafood platter which was delicious,. We got the check, again very slow, and it seemed ok, so I used a credit card to pay. She printed a receipt for me and we left. When I got home I noticed there was a $1.00 charge for tartar sauce which was not mentioned to us. There was also a $12.00 charge for a tip which was not on the original bill. I had already left a 20% tip on the table in cash which she had to notice when taking away the dishes. She added the tip without my consent. I accepted the credit card slip (printed at the table) trusting that the card charge amount would be the same as the manual check she had given us. So, a warning to you........check your credit card receipt BEFORE you leave the building. read more

Amazing! Are there twice while in Maine because it was so good! Lobster roll is where it's at!

Had the all you can eat haddock, and let me tell you, they aren't kidding. Three huge pieces came with perfectly crispy fries, slaw and tartar sauce. That is simply the first round. Honestly, I love this run down fish shack. No frills, unless you count the cute lavender curtains, but OMG the food is so good. The fish was fresh tasting--the cleanest oil was used in the frying. Just pure heaven. The slaw was even good, and it's usually a perfunctory side. The view of the frozen river was spectacular, and just added to the ambiance. If you are looking for upscale, this is not the place, but if you are looking for unapologetic great fish, you have come to the right place. read more

Great lobster roll. Back for a second time. Will return again. Friendly staff. Nice view of the river.

Found the Eagles Nest through Yelp! The lobster roll was the best we had in Maine. Hack: if you plan on sharing, order it as-is. When you ask for two buns, the portion size of lobster appeared much smaller and was served in a small bowl. It was still generous, but definitely more lobster comes in the single bun to make it look full (did not take a picture of the portion size on the two bun lobster roll me, but trust me on it). The one downfall is some sides like the green beans and the mashed potatoes come out of a can. I'd suggest sticking with the fries and slaw. Tartar sauce was nothing special but not offensive (it was fine to average). Service was good! We came back a second time and we were remembered, which is a nice touch. There seem to be many regulars that the staff has gotten to know, too. The place is kind of small but it has great views! read more
