Frustrating if you have celiac disease! This restaurant actually has a separate Gluten free menu... which was pretty exciting. My daughter ordered grilled shrimp (which comes with French fries or chips). The menu clearly states that the fries and chips are cross contaminated in a fryer that contains gluten... but I had to pay $2 extra to get my daughter mashed potatoes so she wouldn't be glutened! I find this extremely frustrating! If you're going to have a GF menu.. then make it GF! read more

Overall great food and friendly service! We started outside but it was breezy and started getting chilly so we moved inside. Ordered the whole belly clams for our appetizer and a dozen oysters. The whole bellies are fresh fried and lightly seasoned. Came with a mayo based sauce but we actually liked the cocktail sauce better with them. Oysters were fresh too. We had a couple different lobster rolls, both delicious and large chunks of lobster! Didn't care much for the baked haddock but that's me. My coworkers enjoyed it! Would definitely go back! read more

Clam strips, seasoned chips and outdoor view were great! Peppered calamari was flavored well, but sat in a bunch of oil which took away from enjoying it. And the service was a lil ehh, my drink was empty for quite some time and after not being checked on for a while I went to find her to request a refill. I would return to try other menu items. read more

Great food and service! Spent a long weekend in Bangor, Maine (first and probably last time) and figured I should have some lobster during my visit. Pepper's Landing came recommended by Chat GPT and Yelp so we checked it out earlier today. Julia was our server and was phenomenal at her job, especially considering my high maintenance kids. Super kind and fast even though she was waiting on a number of tables. We sat on the patio and enjoyed great weather and a nice view. My husband had the clam chowder and fried haddock sandwich. He's a Bostonian by birth, so his two thumbs up rating of the chowder means something. I had the lobster sauté, which surpassed my expectations, but I was also quite impressed with my side of vegetables - a healthy portion of well seasoned zucchini that was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed a mocktail which I believe was called Ginger Fizz, and was amused by the cute presentation of the kids meals in a cardboard fishing boat. The perfect accompaniments to a New England meal! Pepper's Landing was definitely a highlight of the trip. Highly recommend!! read more

Great local spot with a wonderful view if you sit outside. Prices are reasonable, food is excellent. Drinks were great; I hate it when there is too much simple syrup but that was not the case here. Service was great. Will have to come back for the Wednesday discount oyster deal read more

I ordered on-line a lobster roll with French fries and coleslaw. The service was great and on time. That's is the Only good news about this order. The fries were cold, dry and obviously frozen. The coleslaw was from a wholesale distributor like Sysco, not freshly made. And the lobster roll was the worst I have ever had, (I'm a third generation New Englander). The meat was tuff, clearly previously frozen, over cooked and virtually uneatable. I could Only eat about half the roll and literally spit out the last bite. I got a much better lobster roll at an Irving gas station last summer. Peppers Landing has a lot of nerve charging $35 for this lobster roll.... They would have a lot of nerve charging $3.00 for this meal. I will never go back and you should not go... you will thank me. read more

We had a crab roll and a lobster roll with chips. Both rolls were yummy! Chips seemed a bit overcooked. Nice restaurant layout and an open feel. Very friendly service too. read more

The fish chowder didn't have any fish in either mine or my husband's chowder other than a few flakes but had plenty of potatoes. It also came out lukewarm at best. I had the seafood stuffed haddock which the stuffing had one shrimp I didn't find any scallops not even chopped up. Very disappointing for the price you would think the seafood would be there in the dish. We did have dessert which was very good..Main course was lacking and very dissatisfied. read more

The Bartender was very pleasant and helpful, the food was average, considering the price. Very loud cafeteria style seating was not good for a couple trying to enjoy an evening out. read more

Pepper's landing is a mandatory stop on our yearly family Maine vacations. The baked scallops were fluffy little pillows of goodness and the maple burnt ends were a surprising addition to this dish. Our server was friendly and quick. Perfect date night spot for some seafood, and drinks. End dinner with a nice stroll next to the water. read more

Pepper's Landing - Blueberry pie - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Maine

We dined on a Wednesday so it was not super busy. Our service, Gabe was wonderful. Our food was serviced as described. We ordered baked stuffed haddock, crab rolls, mussels for appetizer. We enjoyed our table indoors. The weather was not the best. Otherwise we would have enjoyed the pation over looking the river. It was the last dinner I had with my kids after dropping them off at UMaine. I will definitely go back for another dinner! read more

Recently came from the West Coast and am not exaggerating when I say this, probably one of the best plates of steak and lobster I ever had.

I reluctantly returned here with friends after my last visit with almost burned calamari. This time I ordered the appetizer shrimp only to find a long hair in the food. The server was really pleasant and I felt really bad for her. I won't be back, if I can help it. read more

Really nice food, great river view. Service was average plus, the prices are tad high.

A beautiful day, Fried Clams and a view, what's not to like. Vibe: I chose to sit on the patio, overlooking the Penobscot River. I couldn't asked for a nicer day. The inside is nice, but a little overly done on coastal theme, i.e. it feels forced/new and not natural and authentic. I also felt the inside was a bit too spacious, lacking some warmth. Service: It was an off hour, and they had a limited staff working. Not the end of the world, but there was that awkward wait at the front, wondering what to do - wait - seat myself - go to the bar? Finally, someone came and sat me on the patio. Service was good - friendly - and for the most part attentive. I did notice as they got a little busier, the server was stretched a little. And there was a bit of a gap getting and paying the check. Food: The Fried Clams were delicious and reminded me of growing up in New England. Hot, lightly battered and crispy. The fries, although not as good as the clams, were hot and tasty. The coleslaw was also very good. All in all - very satisfying. I would definitely go back to Pepper's Landing, that is unless someone convinced me there was a better place to try. Date of Visit: 11 July 2023 read more

Oh. My. God. The food at Pepper's Landing in Old Town, ME is an absolute must go too! 10/10. Everything there is so good. The restaurant is huge. The staff is so friendly and personable. The lobster bisque is an absolute must try. We live closer to the Rochester, NH and Ogunquit, ME location and will definitely be visiting those locations! Now that we're aware of this wonderful establishment. read more

Pepper's Landing - Chicken salad wrap and seafood combo - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Maine

The fried whole belly clams were clearly spoiled, with an obvious rotten taste. Service was inexplicably slow despite few customers. Serving rotten seafood is unacceptable, avoid this place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Pretty good food...some is definitely bar food and delish. Some is more fine dining food and, while it is well done, everything seemed a bit overcooked to us. Portions go from adequate (fine dining) to bountiful (bar food.). Fresh fish and seafood is not cheap, but reasonably priced. One side of the restaurant is an eat in bar area and the other is a dining room with booths and tables with a nice river view. If you like Maine IPAs there are plenty to enjoy! And in the bar area you can "compete" on an ongoing networked trivia game...great for a group get together to knock back some tasty bar food, cold beers and a chance to show everyone how smart you are in mindless facts! Recommend more for adults than kids. read more

Got in just under the wire on eclipse day. They were understaffed and out of lobster :( That said we hit the other dishes on the menu and were not disappointed!! Sweet and sour shrimp and haddock was the ringer along with the scallops and pork burnt ends. Our server she was a total pro and made a difficult situation look easy. Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing view ! Great out door setting! Cant wait for more ! The food was way better, as was the service!

The calamari was the best my wife ever had! The chowder was great! Our server was a younger college guy he was great. The chicken fingers were average, and the sweet potato fries were under cooked but overall very good! read more

Ambiance is the best . Good service and food average . Love the environment and easy to walk in

Wonderful addition to Old Town! The restaurant has been very nicely remodeled. It is CLEAN and nice. Beautiful outdoor patio offering seating along the river. We were a group of 10 and were treated so well. Our waiter (Jonah) was attentive and friendly and was a wonderful person to deal with our group. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Seafood cooked perfectly. Even the burger guys were very impressed with the burgers. And onion rings-GOOD!!! We will return and have been telling others. Nice atmosphere, great service, super food. Money well spent on a delightful evening!!! read more

My son goes to college at The University of Maine. I love to visit him but genuinely, I love to visit peppers landing. There is an incredible waterfall area. The building is beautiful and clean. There is fresh lobsters to greet you as you walk in. The host and the rest of the service is top shelf. The beer selection is very good and the seafood is unparalleled in the area. Most of all, It's an incredible value. I live on the East Coast of Massachusetts and the sea food is excellent but the price is much much higher than here at peppers landing. It seems that it's a family business that truly likes to offer a great value to the community. My son is only a freshman so I hope to Done there many more times during his tenure at college. I highly recommend this place and would travel a great distance to experience Peppers Landing. read more

Had a great dinner here with the family! My husband enjoyed the clam chowder, I had the haddock chowder and it was OUTSTANDING!

Beautiful spot on the water and great service! read more

Ordered take out of the blackened fish tacos and the baked mushroom appetizer. $19 and only two barely filled tacos with slimy lettuce. Advertised as an avocado puree, when it's just thin slices (don't call it a puree). Tacos were so soggy and fishy tasting. Baked mushrooms...they were so salty you need a gallon of water to finish. I walked in saw my order, no one greeted me until after a couple of minutes. I grabbed my own bag then someone came running over. Having someone at the front counter to welcome guests is always key. I felt awkward, and grabbed my food and left. Overall- avoid the tacos. There's nothing in them but slimey old lettuce and doesn't hold together as a taco. Immediately fell apart from being so watery. $19 for 2 tacos I could go to Margaritas or Tacorita and get 3 for less. Tried giving Pepper's Landing a chance, but disappointed. read more

I have eaten at Pepper's Landing a handful of times since they opened. I find all of the prices are fair, even the seafood is not expensive like you find at other restaurants. I am a big fan of their signature Pepper's Champ beer. I have not tried sitting outside yet as it has been too hot on the visits I've had but I imagine the river and the nice patio offer for a relaxing outside experience. Service has always been good and wait times minimal. read more

My wife and I recently enjoyed a delicious lunch at Peppers Landing in Old Town. We were seated with a fantastic view of the expansive Penobscot river. I enjoyed a perfect martini and my wife had a delicious glass of Chardonnay with our fresh oysters to start. My wife had a nicely tossed salad for lunch while I enjoyed an enormous plate of fried clams; likely the biggest plate of clams I've ever seen. Everything was prepared perfectly and our server was polite, friendly, and attentive. We'll definitely return to Pepper's Landing when we're back in the area. read more

Pepper's Landing - Enormous plate of delicious fried clams. - Seafood Near Me - Old Town, Maine

Visited for the first time last Saturday. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable for my concerns about COVID. A very extensive menu; I saw many items I would like to try on another visit. My sister and I shared the dinner sized shrimp basket, and her husband enjoyed the lunch portion of clam strips. We all chose the side of house-made potato chips, which were seasoned so deliciously and had not a bit of oil. The service was attentive, but not overly so. The only disappointment was that their kegs were "too warm," so we were relegated to bottled beer... not really a great hardship. We all enjoyed the food and the ambiance and look forward to returning when we can sit outside on their spacious deck overlooking the river. read more

Good selection of seafood fare. Service was friendly and the food was good... really not a lot of choices in the area.
