The staff is all super friendly. It gets very busy so I recommend going early, especially during the warmer weather months. We ended up waiting for about 15 minutes, but it was so worth it. Biscuits are a must in whatever form you get them in. I ordered the Breakfast Biscuit and it was exactly what I want in a breakfast sandwich. The biscuit was well made and didn't fall apart easily, the egg fluffy, the cheese not overwhelming, and a signature touch of red pepper jelly. Plus it comes with potatoes! What a dream. My partner isn't much of an egg guy, but was really happy with his granola bowl. It was very fresh and he appreciated that he could have it made with oat milk. We also split the fried green tomatoes to start and they were fantastic. I don't associate that dish with such a northern state, but they were fresh and not greasy and the Alabama ranch was nice and tangy. I'd love to come back another time for another biscuit and to try their lunch; I'm sure their haddock is dynamite.

It's mostly a convenience store and gas station stocked full of all kinds of junk food, pastries, milk, breads and some unique Maine types of weird things. But over on the side of the store is a small grill that manages to produce a whole range of different things. All kinds of cool breakfast stuff, some traditional like several varieties on bacon and egg and toast and other rather uncommon things like breakfast burritos and even something call breakfast pizza. They also have some absolutely gigantic freshly baked cinnamon rolls that smell fantastic and of course the ubiquitous Maine blueberry pancakes. But there is a lot more here than just breakfast. All kinds of pizzas are served throughout the day as well as various sandwiches, fried chicken, burger type things and sea bugs like shrimp, scallops and of course some great lobster rolls. In fact they even have live lobsters and crabs that they will cook for you or you can take them home and kill them yourself. Just an amazing amount of different foods prepared so many different ways. You or course can fill up with gas for your vehicle or get caught up on the latest local gossip too. Not a whole lot of stores around here so they make the best of what they have. A very cool and old fashion type of do everything store. The type that makes Maine such a cool place.

The prices are wonderful. The portions are HUGE! I ate some, and had enough for dinner the next night. They have a chicken was the best fried chicken pieces that I have ever had!

We came during shoulder season; we could easily see this place keeping the lights on with delicious meals for hardworking boatbuilders in the dark of winter. The ambiance is "run-down basement." The service is slow. The room is cold. I was leaning toward rating this place two stars until our fish sandwiches arrived. They were perfect. I've worked with deep fryers, and I'm here to tell you: Peter Trout's uses clean grease at the right temperature. Our fish was crispy without being greasy, plus it it had the clean look and zero aftertaste of clean grease in a clean fryer. Bam: right back up to three stars we go. Peter Trout's is the clear choice for those who value authenticity, have plenty of time, and appreciate simple food made well.

What are they famous for you ask? Well, seafood...of course. Specifically, the lobster roll. My boyfriend loves the lobster roll! I had the popcorn chicken basket with crinkle fries that I could eat everyday if given the choice. The seasoning and breading are just right & fried until golden brown without sacrificing safe cooking or flavor. Another one of those busy places-it's a restaurant that attracts locals and tourists. They've always got inspirational quotes on their marquee. Outdoor patio seating (tables with umbrellas) and a no-frills, basic interior decor. Gives total seaside vibes.

Admittedly, the tacos were not what I expected. They were fried fish with Cajun seasoning sprinkled on top in taco shells that looked more like small taco salad bowls with heaping levels of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. I ate the fish and couldn't have been happier- light and delicious. Onion rings were very good. We grabbed a donut and cinnamon roll for the road. A bit dry - maybe it was day old - but 15 seconds in the microwave and it was yummy. This is a great stop because you can get gas and ice cream right next door. This is a keeper stop when we are in the area.

Sandwiches are served with chips. They were both delicious and messy. The space is cool and they sell specialty cooking products such as lard and seasonings. It was great and I'd visit again to try something else.

The food tasted so fresh and flavorful, the drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect . Cozy but still lively with live music. Truly one of those places where nothing misses. I'm from out of state and already planning to come back next year just to eat here again. I honestly can't say enough good things about Montsweag. So worth the drive and then some!

First off we had a reservation for 7:30 and we didn't get seated till 7:50 and had to wait awkwardly in a small entry space. Then we were seated and it took a while for our server to get our drinks. We got the octopus appetizer and it was just okay, nothing special. We got our entrees and they were very good portion sizes which I like especially for the price. I got the swordfish which was very tasty but still not mind blowing. We got a dessert and they did our happy birthday on it for her but that was it. Even though we did tell the server it was her birthday. Overall I was just expecting more from this place, especially with the price point and it fell short.

They had squashes on display in their foyer. I liked that. Eclectic. Compliments to the kitchen & front of house. Bravo, team! Well done. Oh, also -- if you are nosy -- the restaurant is in a house-setting. But not, like, a haunted house. Just old timey. Marvelous. You'll love Primo.
