Truly sophisticated food at diner prices with a diner atmosphere. It is a neighborhood hangout. World food from all corners of the globe. Interesting flavor/texture combinations - I'm thinking of a polenta lasagna that knocked me flat. Home made hollandaise from local eggs. Home baked desserts, breads and muffins. Fish tacos to die for - the lime chipotle drizzle was mouth suck good with fresh lettuces and local haddock. Boutique jams fresh made in cute little serving dishes. Potato pancakes crisp on the outside, creamy inside. People LOVE their Alfredo Sauce. Baba ganoushe makes an incredible sandwich. Their quesadilla selections are filling and healthy. One can eat here frequently, have money left in your pocket, and rarely get bored. Bring your own booze is a plus. The night of the polenta lasagna, I brought in the perfect malbec and hummed all through the meal.

This one of the worst places that I've eaten at. We had shrimp scampi and a London broil steak. The shrimp was over-cooked and the pasta was bland. The steak was definitely NOT fress and the taste was rather putrid. I could tell that it had cured in a marinade in order to cover up its lack of freshness. It was by far the worst steak that I have ever eaten. The salad bar was sparse with very little variety, and the vegitables were wilted and stale. On top of that, the prices were exorbitant to the likes of top-notch steakhouse. The service was alright, but the waitress seemed impatient and inattentive while at the same time rushing us to order. I will NEVER eat there again, and I do not recommend it to anyone.

We are happy to eat here if it is open when we are passing through. The food is like home-cooked and satisfying. The waitress/cashier has always been friendly and helpful. We like the casual '50s atmosphere and the chance to select a song from the jukebox. ( It is a cash-only restaurant, but has an ATM outside if needed. )

This restaurant has been revamped and reopened as a wonderful family style restaurant and the food is excellent. Specials through the week such as
Turkey Supper on Thursdays and all you can eat
Fish Fry on Fridays with Prme Rib (you can't beat) on Friday and Saturdays evenings. The atmosphere is very friendy-- the owners come around to make sure you are receiving their best reception and food and are just great people-- must try.....

Great place, the view from the top deck is incredible. Services was friendly and funny. The food was great, and the drinks were nice and cold on a hot day. We'll be back the Boathouse Bistro the next time we're in Boothbay!

This may have been the worst dining experience I ever had.
Most all of the food that the 5 of us ordered was cooked improperly and/or portions were small. The booth and surrounding area was filthy. The service was adequate at best. This place typifies a tourist trap.

We went for lunch during the week. The place was fairly busy on a beautiful Summer day. The service and food were both good. Some portions were small for the price, but the fried parsnips and veggie chili were very tasty. We'll take guests from out of town here again in the future.

My wife and I were on our way back from Freeport and decided to stop at the Muddy Rudder in Yarmouth for dinner. When we first entered, we were really taken back by the unique ambience which resonated from this place. After a long day of shopping being able to sit and relax in such a pleasant atmosphere was simply euphoric. The lighting was perfect, the river looked lovely, the piano player was remarkable and my martini was faultless. As soon as our waitress listed the specials, my wife and I knew exactly what we wanted...we thought to ourselves "Where else could one acquire and enjoy a 3 lb lobster?" The pan-seared scallops we had for our appetizer was delightful and our lobsters were amazing. I must say, my wife and I have found yet another reason to visit Maine. If you find yourself looking for the ideal place to set as your dinner destination, make your way to Yarmouth and visit the Muddy Rudder.
