Bucksport Waterfront Restaurant

About This Establishment

The corned beef hash cracks at the crust with a tender center, while the Philly omelet stays fluffy and savory. The lobster roll stays bright and briny, stretched across a deck with water in sight. Waterfront views of Fort Knox and the Penobscot Bridge crown a generous, comfort-forward morning bite.
