We arrived before the restaurant opened, and there was a line formed outside the door. Thankfully,…read moreit wasn't super long but it's clear the restaurant definitely has a following: I imagine the line and wait can be long at times! I ordered the "mussel dinner," which included 1lb of mussels with corn on the cob, cole slaw, hot dinner roll, and blueberry cake for $17.50. This is an excellent price for everything aforementioned! It was more than I could finish in one sitting for lunch. I enjoyed the steamed mussels, which were naturally sweet and easy to eat from the shell. There was no sand/grit as far as I could tell, and the mussels looked and tasted very fresh. I appreciated the roll was served hot in aluminum foil, and the corn and slaw were both tasty and prepared expertly. The blueberry cake was essentially a moist and not-too-sweet coffee cake. The restaurant is "cafeteria style". Once you enter, customers will make their order at the counter and pay the cashier (cash and credit are both accepted). You will receive a table number and it is self-seating with options both inside and outside. On windier days, it's highly recommended to sit inside: we saw folks struggling with the sun umbrellas the day we visited. The restaurant abuts the water, so you'll get a great view either way.

It was a mild chilly evening, just enough seats outside, and friendly people walking around to deliver food and clean up. Got the food amazingly fast! The lazy lobster was more than enough for me. No clue on how much they serve you, but i felt i got my moneys worth. Would totally go back! Cash discount

Sweet Baby Jesus. If…read moreyou're the sort of person who requires cloth napkins, tasteful lighting and a waiter named Chad who explains the provenance of every pea on your plate, don't go here. But if you want honest food at today's prices, pull up a chair. The lobster roll was a revelation. Not that mayonnaise-based lobster purée somebody scraped out of a tub and smeared onto a bun that had been sitting around since the Carter administration. This was real chunks of lobster, lightly seasoned, piled onto a fresh roll and left alone to taste like lobster. Then came the steamers. Sweet mercy. Those steamers were the best thing I have tasted since 1974, and I'm not entirely sure what happened in 1974, but apparently somebody knew how to steam a clam. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive and without the usual modern-day restaurant ritual of wondering whether your server has forgotten you exist. The décor? Let's just say aging fish camp chic. If you're looking for polished brass and a chandelier imported from France, keep driving. If you want the feeling that somebody might walk in carrying a cooler full of flounder, you're home. For the love of all that is holy, give this place a try. Come hungry. Leave happy. And if you encounter a cloth napkin, somebody has probably made a terrible mistake

Big open space with beautiful waterfront views, lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Handwashing sinks around the outdoor seating area for before and after your handhelds.

It's a fisherman-owned shack right on the bay -- informal, friendly, and exactly the kind of unpretentious Maine spot you hope to run into. Honestly, everything we ordered was excellent, so it's hard to single out just one thing. The hot-butter lobster roll was soft, fresh, and generous -- better than the other lobster rolls we'd had on the trip (I paid a little extra for hot butter over the cold/mayo version and would do it again). The lobster empanadas were a nice surprise: crispy from being fried, and while there's some filler beyond the lobster, the meat-to-filling ratio is good and the added flavor works -- I'd order those again. The clam chowder was rich and creamy without being gluey. Bonus points for the kids: a Lego play table kept ours happily occupied, and they did simple cheese quesadillas the kids actually ate. I also had a Pulp Truck IPA from Marsh Island Brewing -- which is what we would call a "Hazy IPA" or "New England IPA" on the West Coast, but here is simply an IPA. Regardless, it was quite good. We'd would definitely eat here again.

It didn't have a super strong sweet flavor I liked how the sauces were all put on the side and allowed you to customize how much to put on the lobster. My favorite was the lemon butter because it was creamy and that helped the sauce stick on the lobster. There wasn't a super strong lemon flavor but you could taste it. My next flavor is the firecracker but I thought it had a gingery taste that I didn't think paired super well otherwise. The garlic butter is what you expect (garlic on the bottom and butter on top).

My elderly dad enjoyed the whole experience. Chairs and tables inside in their dining room, covered outdoor dining are was picnic tables with bench seating and covered patio tables with benches too. Bring a bag of trucks for the boys to play in the gravel while you wait for lobsters. Families welcome! Room for groups! We chose this place because of the many cars and reasonable prices.

We stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner during our Acadia vacation based on a recommendation from a co-worker and we are very glad we did. I had the fish sandwich with fries and a specialty cocktail made with bourbon, ginger beer and honey (I forget the name). The fish sandwich came for way more than enough perfectly cooked haddock and a crunchy and delicious beer-batter crust. The fries we excellent, too (they can so easily be bland and boring, but these were not!) The cocktail was ice-cold (perfect for this hot summer day) and delicious, if a little sweet. My partner had the Mediterranean Plate which came with Grilled Flat Bread, Hummus, Tzatziki, Marinated Cucumber Salad, Marinated Olives, and Feta. She loved all 'the subtle and distinct flavors that went together so well!' Note that Batson River Fish Camp has two locations and is part of Batson River Brewing and Distilling.
