    Quesadilla
    EllaMinnow P.

    Fun lively place, especially when live music is playing outside. We enjoyed strong cocktails, like their strawberry margarita. Also very popular boozey mudslides! Food was satisfying: chicken quesadilla, crispy french fries and refreshing wedge salad with plenty of blue cheese dressing.

    Fish & Chips

    Freedom Cafe has excellent service! Our server was named Kailey and she was so kind, helpful, and receptive to our group's requests! She even made me a fresh pot of coffee when I ordered a cup. Our group had the chili cheese nachos, fish and chips, chicken Parmesan, and classic burger. We also split a plate of fried cauliflower. Overall, the portions are large and the food comes out hot! The chicken parm was drowning in marinara sauce but the mozzarella was delicious and super melty stretchy! The burger was cooked to perfection but needed more seasoning. The fries were okay. The nachos were amazing. And the fish and chips were the "best meal" my mom said she has had in Maine. Our fried cauliflower was unexpectedly very lemony though and we didn't love it like we thought we would. We originally came to Freedom Cafe because we wanted to sit outside and look at the gorgeous view of the water, but of course it was pouring rain and we weren't able to. The view was stunning even in the rain though. I think the food is a little over hyped but if we had the view, I definitely think it would be so worth it! The inside is wooden/bald eagle/'Merica themed but was clean.

    Waiting for a table is nice

    Six of us on the back patio. Poor servers had to run up and down the stairs for us all night. Payton K was great to us. Really great view of the lake, we were able to catch the eye of a friend on a passing boat. I had salad with shrimp, cousin had steak tips (awesome), scallops for my wife, everyone loved their food, I loved the low price at the end of the night, very affordable.

    Stopped by this quaint lakeside restaurant in Naples. Came in during lunch with small group. Seated outside with a lake view. Good, quality food with great view of the water. Hostess was very friendly and attentive. Check them out when you're in the area.

    The Chicken Parmesan

    Not sure why there are so many negative reviews on this place. Perhaps it was a long time ago with different ownership? Regardless, my family travels the 20 minutes or so from Long Beach to come here all the time. We have had both dinner and lunch and have been very happy with the service, food and atmosphere. I like that they have solid kids option and their beer selection had enough variety to please most. The manager makes a point to come by and check on tables, a nice touch in this day and age. If you want a really good meal with lots of options in a casual atmosphere, you can't go wrong with this place.

    Outside seating on the deck overlooking the lake. The food is delicious and the service is fast and attentive. We will be back soon.

    Small boutique eatery/drinkery (fish-and-chippery) in the original Terlingua space on Washington…read moreAve. Order and pay first, then they bring your order to the table. Simple decor. No gimmicks; no jive. -- Clam Chowder: Only one size (bowl), but you'll be glad to have that amount once you taste it. Very thick and flavorful base, and not only won't you have to send out a search party to find the clams, but I'd also go as far as saying it's the most densely clam-filled broth I've had in a long time. Bacon adds texture, flavor, and saltiness in the best ways possible. Potatoes are in there, but a bit player (that's a good thing). Plenty of peppery seasoning on top, along with oyster crackers that are surprisingly not Westminster-- closer to mini Ritz crackers, but with an Old Bay twist. Among the tastiest chowder I've ever had if not the absolute best. Elite. -- Fish and Chips: Long, thick piece of fish artfully draped over the fries--err, chips-- and skillfully avoiding a dunk into the coleslaw. Golden brown batter thick but light, with a crispness not quite reaching crunch. Extremely tender and flaky; adequately moist. Solid rendition, though the chowder is what I'll remember most. Chips a little over-crisped on some, just-right on others. Coleslaw much more tart than most, with not much condiment, but thick and creamy. Great first visit. Glad I got a chance to try it before the inevitable summer lines will make it tough to revisit, but I will.

It's not a plate of fish, it's a BOWL of fish, And it comes with crunchy fries, also a big serving. We think that may ruiined us for anyone else's haddock for a long, long time.

That's how popular and good this place is. Finally, after two years of trying, we were able to enjoy the amazingly delicious fish fry that everyone raved about. The batter was light and flavorful... And the fish was cooked to perfection. Not one millimeter was overcooked or overly seasoned. The ladies who make this food know what they're doing, and it's been worth every single attempt. I also love the outdoor seating and the picnic benches as it only adds to the experience. I look forward to trying it again. Next time I visit Boothbay, Maine. Yum!

    Fantastic Lobster Rolls and fried clams…read more When I visited, we had the Lobster Roll and fried clams. The lobster wasn't overcooked, was plentiful, and enjoyable. The fried whole clams were not over-cooked and were juicy. This place is on the side of a road with outdoor seating, so if it's snowing or raining, you may need to eat in your car. I ate during the summer when the weather was good. The staff was extremely friendly when taking my order and it came out quickly. I am looking forward to visiting again and trying more of the menu, but a Lobster Rolls with Fried Clams or Oysters are my default order to try out a new spot, it shows the amount of lobster on a roll as well as their skill at frying. I wish that they were a little closer to Portland, as I will likely only stop by on my way to or from LL Bean in Freeport.

The scallops were great, no complaints there but the fries and maybe less so the clams, were so dark. This means the fries were fried is old cooking old.

Needless to say, I'll try the place down the road next time.
