I did see a few people bring their own tablecloth and wine. It looks like the locals love this place. You can pick your lobster from the lobster pool or you can order fish. I decided to get the crabster, which is a sandwich with lobster and crab. They were not skimpy on the protein. It was a good amount and it sure filled me up. It came with a side of the potato chips. I decided I wanted to try their coleslaw. They're small side is actually shareable. It's creamy and I thought it was good. They have inside and outside seating. The outside seating is perfect on a good day. We sat outside and it was perfect. There is no shade in the patio so come prepared. They do have parking on site.

I've been in this lovely shop a few times. Once, because my dad was craving their "Prairie Breeze" (kinda like sharp cheddar had a baby with parmesan), and another time to stock up on goodies to have a picnic on the harbor with my best friend. Both visits were dreamy. The shop is a little small but full of wine, cheese, fancy chocolates, housemade snacks, candies, chips, dips, charcuterie, and more - all of my favorite things, basically (sans lobster and steamers). I also love the artwork on the wall, including cheesy (literally) photos from a local photographer and previous owner. The employees are so sweet too! Things we've thoroughly enjoyed here: Prairie Breeze, Bûcheron (like chevre + brie), extra sharp aged cheddar, genoa salami with fennel, french baguette from a Belfast bakery, raspberry-rhubarb caramel, and Prosecco. Hell. Yes.

Hey Sailor in Searsport, Maine, delivers something surprisingly rare along this stretch of coast:…read morebold, confident flavor that actually lands. I'm from New Orleans, where food doesn't whisper--it speaks up. After spending a full month traveling the Maine coast from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth, I found plenty of fresh seafood and scenic charm, but very few dishes that truly woke up my palate. Then I walked into Hey Sailor. This place doesn't hold back. The flavors are layered, intentional, and memorable--each bite feels thoughtfully built rather than simply assembled. There's a balance here between creativity and comfort, with dishes that feel both elevated and satisfying. It's the kind of food that makes you pause mid-conversation because your attention suddenly shifts to what's happening on the plate. In a region where subtlety often takes the lead, Hey Sailor confidently turns up the volume without losing finesse. It's not just good for Maine--it's good, period. If you're someone who craves food with depth, personality, and a little punch, this is a stop worth making. For me, it stood out as one of only two places on this entire coastal stretch that truly delivered that kind of experience.

They give the kind of warmth and above-and-beyond service that is rarely found anywhere. I had never been in the shop, but follow them on social media. Upon seeing some special cookies I wanted for my grandchildren who were coming to visit, I asked to order a few. It turned out that they were not available, but instead of simply informing me of that, the owner got in touch to offer that the kids could come in and do a pretzel dipping session. I was thrilled to have a little surprise for them. But that wasn't all--the ladies donned costumes for the Alice in Wonderland theme and gave the kids a magical experience. I was truly blown away by how much they put into making it fun and engaging. The old bank vault is absolutely beautiful. The kids went in and put on costumes themselves, posing for tea party pics and checking out the various Wonderland-themed features. These ladies are truly the sweetest and created a highlight of our grandchildren's visit! Now I need to go back for ice cream. Highly recommend!

Almost as good was my friend's beer burger with caramelized onions, munster, and bacon. Even more exciting for those of us who like lunch for breakfast, she opens at 9 am! If I had to nitpick, I could use more spice (heat) on the burger and more salt on the fries, but it's a small thing. The chef told me she plans to change the menu weekly, uses local seasonal products when possible. If so, this promises to be my new favorite place to eat in Belfast.

The owner waited on us and was so sweet. I wanted to hug her. The place was sparkling clean and warm and cozy. What an enjoyable experience.
