King Eider's Pub

My mother and I ate here for the first time! Everything was wonderful! The food and service were excellent. It’s a clean, charming, and historic restaurant. I had the blacked swordfish over pineapple rice and my mom had the chowder. Wow! Delicious! I can’t remember our servers name (maybe Hannah). I remember she is a runner. But anyway she did a fantastic job taking care of us with a smile. All of the food and wine were delicious. We loved everything so much we gave our server a double tip. We will definitely be back.

Food was outstanding. I had the BBQ salmon which was really good. Chocolate Mousse was excellent as well. Our server was wonderful. Great seafood options. Definitely worth eating here. Good food costs money but it's worth it.

OMG! I needed a wheelbarrow to leave when I was done eating - I was so full! (LOL). Seriously though, great food, great staff (Especially Cathi A.), great atmosphere. I typically get gift cards for a local couple who live in Damariscotta, as they enjoy eating there as well. This was actually my first time in there, and I can tell you, I will definitely be back next time I am in town!

Our group had oysters on the half shell, scallops wrapped in bacon, haddock chowder, prime rib, berry salad with haddock, crabcake, chocolate mousse, and fish and chips. The only thing that wasn't great was the crabcake. The rest was super.

Really fun place that drops some solid food of all kinds on the table. Servers are great, and they have a great selection of bourbon. The price can add up on you quick, so if that's a concern keep it in mind.

Nice pub in middle of Damariscotta, great food, staff,atmosphere .voted best in Maine many times..I can see why. The Blueberry honey wings where exquisite, the Eider Dip duck sandwich wow, the bloody Mary with a side of 3 local raw oysters.. oh my. But my absolute favorite was the Barbecue pub fries with the Ranch, I will dream about that dish for a long time... my wife said the draft cider was great too..

We had spent the day touring the Maine Oyster Trail, and, honestly, we questioned our desire to eat any more. At the advice of Steve, our host at Hawks House, we made a reservation and decided to go for something on the light side before calling it a day. We're so glad we did. We enjoyed a plate of mussels that were plump and cooked to perfection: the broth was exquisite, the accompanying bread perfect. We followed by sharing crab cakes that were quite good and nicely presented, as well as a salad. The atmosphere was wonderful, as people got together to share their friendship. Our waitress was accommodating and professional. Altogether a most pleasant evening.

Excellent restaurant. I wish I could remember our services name but she was wonderful. Five starts all around - we started out with the green bean appetizer and a dozen oysters - there was not a green bean left on the plate.

We then ordered the roasted oysters and chicken wings with sides of their sauces. All were excellent. Our server made it the best experience. We highly suggest

Good food, excellent customer service. Oysters on the half shell were fantastic!

Holy moly. Food was phenomenal. Staff was not just quick, friendly, and knowledgeable but they were so in sync it was very cool. Atmosphere even on a rainy day was upbeat and homey, great music playing in the background and OMG I will dream about this cupcake until the next visit. Quite possible, the best desert of All Time. Pictured in pieces below because there was no waiting to dive in.

Had delicious 😋lunch on New Years Day. One of the only restaurants open and so glad we stopped in. The burger was excellent and the haddock sandwich was also very good & fresh. Would recommend and is family friendly with some large tables for bigger groups. Has stairs so might be hard to navigate if handicapped or agility issues.

OMG this place is awesome. Everything looks amazing. The fries are out of this world. The best I have ever had. My wife’s crab burger was fantastic. The best crab cake I have ever had. My lobster salad was truly delicious. The blueberry vinaigrette was amazing. My Citizens Dirty Mayor cider on tap was perfect pairing for my meal. The appetizer was also fantastic. We had the honey Brie included pineapple, apples, oranges, cantaloupe, honey dew, grapes and blueberries with strawberries. I can’t imagine anything bad here. You need to stop every time you can. I will be back often.

The atmosphere and service is unbeatable, and the food is excellent to match. I had the biggest oysters I've ever had, and they have a great special where you get three with a beer. The lobster dinner is a must, with mussels and fries and slaw. The schooners on the ceiling adds to the cozy, friendly ambience. A must visit!

Only restaurant accepts us at the last minute on Sunday night! For Appetizer we choose the The Kings Selection and I was surprised how huge was the oysters, I love it ! We shared in 4 people and it was worth it, the food was tasty and good sides.

I recommend for sure the Key Lime Pie, unfortunately I didn’t take a picture, but was amazing not too sweet not too sour, just in the perfect spot🤌🏼

The server did a good job, Julia I know sometimes it's hard to keep excited at the end of the day, I appreciate your attention to us.

And finally need to appreciate the kitchen for the hard, hard work. I hope the owner of a pay raise, y'all deserve it!

Delicious food. Wonderful service by Brittany. Thanks for being open year round!

Arrived mid-afternoon on a busy Saturday; received a friendly greeting and were seated as soon as a table was cleared. Our party of four enjoyed raw and skillet baked oysters and crab cakes. Our server was friendly and attentive without interrupting.

Thank you for an amazing service! To the cook and to the extremely friendly waitress. This place is amazing. Beautiful and cozy. I found it in a list which tells the best burgers around Maine. So I designed a trip around my state to try them all and went to Damariscotta to give it a shot.
The advertisement is true: this is the way a burger should be. The burger is extremely juicy and tasty, the bread, tho, is bad quality and is not good for that great beef, but it deserves 5 stars.

Lovely meal in a very busy pub

Food superb
Great choice of beer
One of the nicest meals we've had on our trip

Excellent food. I am vegan and they had a wonderful vegan appetizer and entree. It was falafel balls and then black bean and quinoa cakes on top of sauted mushrooms onions squash and spinach with some red peppers. On the side was some roasted beets of different colors. My dining companions had lobster with a generous serving of mussels.
Update 7/17- still wonderful food and service. Had a beyond burger with mushrooms and onions and it was cooked perfectly. My family enjoyed their food as well..

All around great experience. Everything from the amazing smells coming from the kitchen, to the last bite is something to celebrate. I urge anyone in the Midcoast area to treat your senses at Eider's.
