Bagaduce Lunch

This little family owned place was a great stop for lunch. They have a large selection of different types of food and of course a lot of seafood options. You order and pick up your food at a window and can take it down to one of the numerous picnic tables to eat by the lake. There is an outhouse to use if you need a restroom. The people are super nice. Prices are reasonable for being in season. I had a Haddock sandwich and onion rings. Both were fabulous! Definitely the best onion rings I've ever had! I would go here again.

This is 100% classic Maine fried food. Personally fried food is not my thing but it’s tough to say no to this restaurant and it’s magical location. Make sure you hop back in line and get the blueberry and vanilla twist! Ohhhhh my…….

This is a nice place for a good lunch at a great price. You eat outside at picnic tables. The service is quick. Portions are great. The haddock sandwich is one of the best I’ve ever had. Definitely the place to go if you need lunch and are in the area and don’t want a something fancy.

This spot was featured in the 2017 Yankee magazine Lobsterpalooza issue. See my list I've got them all on it. I've been to about a dozen places. Most of them reflect a combination of value, quality and location and Bagaduce is no exception. Enjoy your very decent Lobster roll with a bridge/river/lake view and minimal/no passing traffic. Idyllic!

Really nice lunch spot. Great food, good portions, and you can sit at a picnic table by the river. We had the haddock basket, which included two filets and fries...and a haddock reuben, which was not on the menu but they offered to make me one. All the food was delicious. We will be back!

The food is nothing short of incredible. Eating at the Bagaduce is an experience. Their fries are second to none. Their burgers are large and aren’t paper thin like a lot of take-out, roadside food place burgers. They were not over cooked and were full of flavor. The view is first rate, with an opportunity to walk on the shore, watch shore birds, occasionally horseshoe crabs, the reversing falls and often a cool breeze complements a hot day. We did have a small issue with bees bothering us, but it was mild. Bagaduce is a tradition for our family. If you’re a local, make it a tradition for yours too. If you’re from out of town, don’t miss this opportunity to patronize a small, family run Maine business and get some awesome seafood and fries as the same time, all while taking in a coastal Maine view that will leave you breathless.

Truly indescribable. Just a lunch shack by the mouth of the Bagaduce River where it flowed into the Bay. Wonderfully good food (the fish burgers looked awesome and the fried shrimp was perfect!) But you have to go for that soft serve ice cream. A different flavor every day... And twisted to perfection!

This place is a local legend. No frills. Beautiful water views and picnic tables. The fish and chips that I had were delicious. Huge portions. Super fresh,lightly breaded. If I lived here I could see myself visiting regularly. I hear their soft serve is really good, but I had no room after the fish and chips.

Bagaduce Lunch is an iconic lunchstand in Brooksville (or Penobscot? Nobody really cares) that serves your traditional roadside fare. They have the best lobster rolls in Maine, which is hyperbole often thrown around tourist traps in mid coast Maine and not a claim I'm willing to make lightly, and some of the best clam bellies you'll find anywhere.

For those that aren't keen on shellfish, they serve great haddock and serviceable roadside burgers. Again, you're coming here for the lobster roll, clam bellies, and/or seafood platter. The amazing soft serve ice cream is the icing on the cake for a good meal.

Unlike many overrated roadside tourist traps, Bagaduce is regularly frequented by locals. They've got plenty of beautiful outdoor seating, and it isn't rare to see bald eagles, ospreys, hawks, or horseshoe crabs. As Bagaduce is situated right on the reversing falls of the Bagaduce River, there's always a beautiful sight to marvel at. Do not miss.

Cute little spot. Clearly the locals know what's good. The parking lot was FULL! We had lobster rolls (the big version - well worth it) and onion rings. Everything tasted amazing. To top it off you sit at picnic tables right by the water. Highly recommended!

Great place for summer seafood. Right of the road next to the tiny falls. Outdoor seating right on the water

The best authentic Maine seafood joint. Could not recommend more highly! Such a cute spot and you can sit and eat right on the water. I also left my glasses at this spot and the staff were kind enough to mail them to me at home! <3 Go support these amazing people.

Stopped by here for lunch last weekend! It was amazing! Had the fried clams, onion rings and a soft serve twist cone to finish off the meal!

Everything was so great! Tasty fried goodness in large portions! Beautiful spot to grab a bite and enjoy the reversible waterfall on the Bagaduce River.

I will definitely be back!

World's best Haddock sandwich and other food. Beautiful location on the river by a reversing tidal falls. I am always happy when I am here. Take out food to eat on picnic tables by the water.

The setting is absolutely beautiful. The food is great. Haddock and chips. Crab rolls. Salads (with seafood salads) for the fry-phobic. Suntea was perfect.

I don't know what took me so long to try this place. YUMMY comes to mind!! Best fried clams ever!! Well worth the trip. Sadly, they will close for the summer on Sept 11 TH go get some while you can!!

The crown jewel of hidden jems of Maine's mom & pop dining experiences. (Shhh...don't tell Moody's diner.) The food is outstanding, the ambiance is Maine in the summer, nothing better!
The service was pleasant, personable, and prompt. We did not wait a long time for our food. The prices are very fair and on par for the area, and the portions are amazing. Of course the seafood is to die for but they have traditional roadside fair(cheeseburgers and the like) as well. Don't skip the weeks featured softserve flavor after the food( there's always room for dessert!).
Definitely worth the trip!

Truly a Classic Maine Snack Bar. Lobster Rolls. Burgers. Onion rings. Fried Seafood combos. Excellent ice cream too!!

Orginal Restaurant in the area . Great place to sit and enjoy your lunch with a beautiful view.
The Fish is Always cooked perfectly.
The Food is really good ,and so is the soft serve .
