Haddock nuggs
Janice S.

This is one of our favorite spots. You can't beat the view. The service is always excellent, and the drinks are really fantastic. We love the wings and I got a side of the jerk sauce to dip my buffalo wings in and it was so good. I think my favorite of the day with the haddock nuggets crispy crunchy on the outside and really moist and delicious on the inside. My husband got the haddock blackened sandwich. It was really good. He wanted his fries a little crispy, but I'm sure if we asked they would've done that. Service was excellent. The view was excellent, and the food was phenomenal. We usually come here when the school street band is playing, but they weren't on the menu today.

View from the dock bar.

Came here at 3 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon. Which is a good time to come cause you could actually get seated out on the dock. There is an inside area for dining and upstairs area for dining as well as a fabulous fabulous seafood store and a wonderful gift shop that has all kinds of Robinson wharf swag. Your dog is welcome out on the dock. The cocktails were excellent and it was fabulous to be able to sit outside. I always get my lobster there.

Great food location and service. I know food costs are extremely high but it was a bit pricey for a lobster dinner.

Lobster roll
Marty K.

Stopped in for lunch. Talk about fresh off the boat! It doesn't get any fresher than this! The lobster boats literally pull in at this restaurant! We had the clam chowder, the lobster roll, and the haddock taco's. The chowder was among the best I've ever had! The lobster roll was outstanding! Absolutely loaded with fresh caught lobster meat! My wife's haddock tacos were spot on good. It was really neat to eat lunch over looking the lobster boats! Highly recommend this place!

Lazy lobster dinner ( to go)
Joy B.

A local favorite! We've been coming here gir years and it's always our first stop when we get to our summer home in Maine, every summer! They have indoor & outdoor seating, as well as rooftop seating. It's a great, casual ambiance with great service & great food! It's on the water, so you have nice views. We come to lunch often by boat. I recommend the mussels in white wine sauce. Delicious & enough to share. My family orders the lobster rolls , but I prefer their lazy lobster. The fish tacos are good( 2 per order ) with a mexican vibe. You can't go wrong with anything here! It's our "go to " for lunches with friends, family dinners and sometimes to carry out & eat at home .

Power bowl salad
Roy T.

Had a great dinner with friends enjoyed singing along to the great band but take note it was pretty loud...food is always to die for, they have a new chef I hear this year and it shows it very great change of food from last season but it's always good never had a bad meal!! Service is always great I admit a little slow but that was because they were extremely swamped with people with the band playing and all and not having the outside open yet because of the weather! Can't wait to get back!! That smash burger is the bomb!! Also bathrooms are outside and the nicest and cleanest in the area!!!

Someone at Your Restaurant charged 12$s  to my CC. today. Please question your staff & let me know what you find. Connie Heroy 207-350-5279

this restaurant is close to where I live on Southport Island. The variety of food is great and they always have specials, which are very good too The service is really good And in the summertime, you can sit up outside on the deck

Receipt including "service fee"

This is a $30 entree at Robinsons. A maybe 6 oz piece of haddock, 6 small wedges of potato, and some mush they claim is zucchini and summer squash. If I knew this was one of those rip off the tourists places I'd have ordered elsewhere. My first and last time there. Room key in pic for reference.

Unfortunately, this time I was met by a very unfriendly hostess ( and I remembered her being very unfriendly to customers last time I was here!) when I tried to order something to go for my husband , while I would dine , she said I couldn't do that. She informed me that I couldn't get anything to go because there's only one cook . So I said that was fine , I'll just dine here and take the rest boxed up when I'm ready. She still said no!? Then the waiters and waitresses recognized me as a regular and greeted me ! It certainly wasn't what I was expecting as I just landed from two very long flights to get here and literally put my suitcases down and came straight to Cozy's !!!! I ended up coming in and sitting outside to eat . My waiter assured me I could get a box for whatever food I didn't finish . We just landed back for the month of July after being here in May and June! We ate here once or twice a week and always recommended to our cousins and friends and people who are new to town ! I do recall our last meal here be fore we left at the end of June , this same hostess ( brunette wit hair up ) being very rude to customers then, as well. Mike and Andre and the waitresses and young bus boys are all so friendly and our family has been coming here for generations! It's a shame that this one person is ruining the vibe.. Unfortunately, I will think twice before wanting to come here again. * If you're looking for food recommendations, I don't think you can go wrong with anything , but the fish tacos are my favorite and I order them every single time I'm here! My husband loves the street dogs and if you're a Chicago Cubs fan, you'll understand why! They taste just like a Chicago dog at Wrigley Field! We've had the burgers here too, and they are very good. The Berry salad is delicious , if you're going for something healthier and you can always add a protein .We love adding blackened scallops to it ! if you do choose to dine here , hopefully that ride hostess will have moved on.

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.

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. If you are a true lobster roll lover, I encourage you to sample SJ's! You will not be disappointed!
