Awesome spot to come by boat for lunch in the summer! The food and drinks are delicious! The wings were super good as well as the haddock tacos. Also the coconut curry mussels were a huge hit at our table. Overall, great views and great vibes for a summertime meal!

This popular restaurant is beautifully situated overlooking a working harbor. There is little parking in front, but there are 2 overflow lots within walking distance. We sat inside on a Monday and were soon provided menus and glasses of ice water. My wife and I each ordered seared scallops with chimichurri plus bacon & corn risotto. A single side dish of coleslaw completed our meal. The food was good, but the hour plus wait from orders taken to delivered was excessive when compared to the 6 other restaurants visited on our 7 night trip.

Had lunch out on the patio, overlooking the bay. Very nice setting. Ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the Robinson's Grain Bowl salad. The lobster Mac and cheese was delicious...creamy cheese and plenty of lobster. It was a bit pricey at $36 though. The Grain salad was our favorite. Fresh ingredients in a jalapeño cider vinaigrette, which was delicious! Highly recommended!! So impressed I bought a shirt from the gift store.

I recently visited this establishment which used to be one of my favorite restaurants. We sat at the bar it took a while to get our drinks the bartender was not friendly never even cracked a smile, but the drinks were very good. Looked at the menu it was extremely limited compared to previous years very disappointing, we order an appetizer it took 45 minutes to come out a little irritating, we ordered dinner
I want to chowder it was straight out of a can it was horrible did not eat it first time I've ever been that disappointed and a dinner from there I will not recommend this place I will

Amazing food once again! We were there 7 years ago and went back and we were not disappointed!

A storm came up and everyone scrambled to try to keep everyone dry. Probably explains why our order was a little messed up but everything was worth the wait!

Broiled haddock, shrimp and scallops! Amazing!

A must when coming to Southport Island. Delicious food and when you sit at the bar, always a good bunch of people you get to chat with! Lobster is great but don't miss out on the fish and chips!!!

Wow fantastic service and food. Has a great atmosphere all around. Had seared scallops and my husband had The Seafood Trio all with a wonderful bottle of white portugués white wine. What a great night. Ate at the bar. The bar tender was wonderful - Barry! Highly suggest.

The food is great. But the service overshadowed it. We went for an early lunch and the place was not very crowded, but it took us an hour to get our food. Once it came, it was delicious. The lobster bisque was creamy with a lot of lobster. The roll was excellent and the fries were well prepared. Everything was wonderful, but the lack of service overshadowed the meal.

I was hoping for more. My clam chowder was basically all potato and really big chunks of potato. The wait was long and they were clearly understaffed.

My wife and I ate here a few times on a long weekend in 2019 and it never disappointed. The location is great, the food is better and the service was fantastic.

Awful. May have been a bad night, but the bartender was incredibly rude while we waited for our table. She spilled the drink of a retiree when serving her and then threw the nice woman a towel while we helped her clean up the bartender's spill. Took an hour to get seated then the kitchen took well over an hour to get our food. We had young kids who couldn't hang on any longer. Place was highly recommended and even understanding the staffing issues with covid, this was a 3 hour experience that ended with us ravishing our meal in 10 minutes and taking refuge from the mosquitoes gnawing

Been stopping here for about ten years. After missing visits due to Covid closure, I realized how special it is. On the water. Sit outside in the rough or dine in at the bars or tables. Everything tastes great. The lobsters, clam chowder, haddock sandwiches, and don't miss the blueberry pie. One star minus as my wife dislikes the bathrooms.

Great waterfront/harborview restaurant with seafood market attached. Great service and our light lunch was very good. Will definitely return when we return to Maine.

Stopped in on our way through to enjoy some local fare. A table was requested and they where very busy. It took a while to order and unfortunately that was the reason I'm giving this a 4. Tables seated around us after us received their food long before we did and this was a tad bit frustrating. The food was good but would have been better if it wasn't for the extra long wait. Once again food was good...

Those shrimp tacos will haunt me in my dreams. So, so, so good. The wharf bar here was very fun. Laid-back, good drinks, fun and engaging bartender. Couldn't recommend this place more!

A beautiful location and excellent restaurant. If weather permits opt for the outside seating. Just lovely.
All the dishes we have tried so far have been excellent.
All the servers have been great but Catherine is outstanding!

Great staff (friendly, professional & knowledgeable). It's all about the steamed lobster here. Yes, they have other options, but that is their best dish.

After touring the local botanical gardens we headed to Robinson's Wharf for lunch. What a great place! The atmosphere was cozy and fun. The service was quick and friendly. I can't wait to return. It's worth the drive to experience a real taste of Maine.

Dined here recently. We each had clam chowder and shared the blackened haddock tacos. The meal was decent but nothing to write home about. Service was just ok.

My wife and I really enjoyed eating at Robinsons. The food and service were both great. We had a table with a great view of the harbor. We got there around 5:30pm and were seated immediately. One thing to note is that there is another parleying lot across and down the street which isn't advertised well at the main lot. Not sure how non-locals would know where to park.

If you're in Maine, you really need to come here! Great view, food and service! You may even see some lobstermen bring in their catch and unload it right in front of you!

Hands down one of my favorites in Maine. Fresh seafood right from the boat daily. From lobster to stuffed haddock, it's all great. Even the Philly steak is delicious (and that's from a Philly guy). Just wish they still had fried oysters.

Very nice location and views of the sunset. Food was good as I had their seared tuna with sesame seeds fried green beans, and brussel sprouts which were my favorite. My husband had a lazyman's lobster which was nothing out of the ordinary. if you are going in and out of Southport to Boothbay Harbor this is it good place to stop by.
