3 1/2 Food underwhelming. Pretty restaurant. Lobster roll was nothing special. The slices of roast beef on the special were very thick, fatty, and chewy.

Great food. The service is fast paced. Seating has always been available for us. I like a wall seating area, by a window. The noise level is joyful & entertaining. On our vacation we stopped in four or five times. Looking forward to returning. Very pleasant place to have a meal & dessert.

Robert's Maine Grill has the best lobster I've ever had. The broiled lobster with drawn butter was super fresh, sweet, and cooked just right. The meat was tender and paired perfectly with lemon buttery goodness. Located right near the New Hampshire border, Robert's Maine Grill is a must-stop for amazing seafood.

Don't go here on a peak day or time if you're seeking to have nice low volume conversation. This restaurant gets extremely loud weather sitting on the first floor or on the second floor. With that being said, I would strongly recommend the second floor for a better chance at a quiet conversation. We started out by ordering 10 shrimp in a cocktail style fashion for the table, and they were very crunchy and delicious. Although it's a small pet peeve, it would've been nice for them to have brought out more than one little plastic cup of cocktail sauce in order to satisfy 10 shrimp. Pricing is fairly reasonable at this location in the heart of the Kittery outlets, but don't be deceived by its location as the food is terrific.

I came here with my friend for dinner and it was so nice. It was honestly one of the best places I've been to for lobsters. I got the stuffed lobster which was absolutely amazing and it was my first time eating lobster and they even gave you a little bib and a utensils to help you with it in a bucket to put the pieces. we got the crabcakes and the oysters and the blueberry pie as well which were all amazing. The food was very high-quality and the service was really fast and the ambience of the place was super cool because it seemed like it was modern but also old-school.

Back to leave another review of Robert's! We come every year and always have a delicious meal. We ALWAYS go for the steamers... they never disappoint. The beef and garlic they are steamed in is sooo good. This time we also tried the lobster sliders. YUM! A good amount of lobster on a homemade biscuit. The biscuit is insanely delicious-- but a little dense/filling. After splitting an order of steamers and each having one slider, both of us were full. Ambiance is always the same-- clean, well lit, always busy regardless of the time of day. Staff is always friendly and welcoming, but didn't receive the type of service this time that we are used to... we barely saw our waitress. Regardless-- the food is always so good that even if the service lacks a little it is well worth the visit!

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. We loved our lunch and it was not cheap. I got the seared scallop which came with spinach, squash and a very light cream sauce that was so yummy. So yummy. Big scallops and many of them. Sauce taste was the star here. After I ordered it my server said it was one of her favorites, too. Definitely recommend this dish. SO good. Hubby got the fish Reuben sandwich. He really liked it. Fried fish dressed up as a Reuben. Really very good. He raved about the Cole slaw, too. The lunch menu is the same as the dinner menu. It is a really really big place. The room is large, high ceilings, and it isn't a quiet romantic place, which is fine. There is a central bar, lots of hustling and bustling and a great ocean vibe. Like lots of people on vacation and shopping looking for a rest and a great meal. Service was great, food was great only gripe is that is was not economical. Fancy restaurant prices for a place that is not fancy. We would go back and we both would order same dishes. To me that is 5 stars.

Robert's Maine Grill is good for what it is: A high volume, high turnover, crowded (in summer at least) tourist pit stop for good food, decent service, and decent drinks. I guessed what I was in for when we stopped here for an early dinner on our drive back to Massachusetts from Northern Maine. My expectations were pretty low. And, they exceed them. I enjoyed my Lobster Roll (hot buttered | add clam chowder | sub onion rings for fries) very much *except* for the clam chowder, which was potato forward and largley clamless. My partner enjoyed her Classic Caesar Salad (add Grilled Salmon), too. The facilities are newer (or recently remodeled) and well maintained; things were relatively clean for a busy place; but they could use tables with adjstable feet. We and lots of folks near us were stuffing napkins, etc., trying to keep them from rocking. Neither one of us were impressed with our choices, but neither were we disappointed (except for the aforementioned potato-forward clam chowder). And it's location was convenient: Easy off/on I-95. We're not going to hurry to go back, but nor will we avoid Robert's.

Do you have any idea how tricky it is to find a decent restaurant for anniversary that's open the day before Independence Day? I sure as hell didn't until recently. But after blowing through 2 reservations, Robert's Maine Grill proved to be "third time's the charm". Before I start, major props to RMG for allowing their patrons to book reservations via their website. This is how us introverts rock it in the 21st century. Okay, onto the review. Ostensibly placed right along the strip of Kittery (as I like to call it), this place has ample parking all around the house-like building. The interior immediately boasts a beach house feel which really gets patrons in the mood for casual summer fine dining. The menu has quite the range - from your typical New England fried seafood platters to more refined dishes such as the lobster risotto. I decided to embark upon the latter on this day whilst wifey got the lobster cobb salad. Before we get to those, however, we must first discuss their infamous lobster sliders. Despite the menu listing these in the plural and what some of the guests' photos might have you think, the price is PER slider. So, you just order the amount you want (1 per person is recommended) and add up the total. Much like the lobster rolls, these are available either hot or cold with warm butter or mayo, respectively. We like ours warm. Wifey and I each got one and it was heaven in biscuit form. We didn't even care that the biscuits inevitably crumble apart because everything tastes the same going down anyway. The lobster was tender and blended perfectly with the homemade buttery biscuits. The lettuce was a nice touch, too. I have zero critiques for this appetizer. 10 out of 10, would recommend! Wifey also informed me her cobb salad was equally excellent. She wasn't sure if ordering a salad as a main course on anniversary night would be adequate enough for the occasion. But I assured her that it was *her* day, too...and to just...go with her heart's desire. As for the lobster risotto, it was mostly superb! I wish the spinach had been chopped up a bit smaller so the stems wouldn't wrap around the fork like spaghetti, but that's a minor footnote. The risotto was saucy with a slight bite as it should be. And naturally, we don't need to go over how awesome the lobster was again. I will note that I appreciate the copious amount of lobster meat that is included with this dish in addition to the prominent half-lobster tail used to garnish the risotto. True, it comes in its shell. But the meat was nearly effortless to deshell. Oh, there was a slight sweetness to the sauce coating the risotto, but nothing too out of place. 9 out 10, overall. By the way, a little caveat for folks who end up dining on the second floor as we did: there's no restroom up there. Which means - you guessed it! If you have to use the facilities for any reason, you must painstakingly walk down the flight of stairs, locate the restroom, then walk back upstairs when all is said and done. Have to admit...I almost died laughing when wifey asked the waiter if the place had an elevator. XD Perhaps this was a mere oversight or possible inconsideration on the architect's part when designing this lovely establishment. Still, it would have been nice to include a second bathroom option for the folks upstairs. After all, there's evidently a TON of older folks who reside and vacation throughout the New England area as well. At the time of visiting, it didn't seem overly busy. But we wanted to book a res just in case there was some pre-4th of July rush or something. We DID notice an uptick in cars parked in lot after we left though. It seems the place really starts to pick up between 6-8pm. Much like any other popular restaurant, I suppose. The waterfront view is a nice touch as well. I wouldn't mind eating here during the peak of sunset one evening. We certainly plan on returning here in the future. Got my eyes on either the fried sea scallops or fish n' chips next. For now though, I'm giving Robert's Maine Grill 4 buttery lobster sliders on biscuits bursting at the seams out of 5.
