Sue's Cobscook Bay Cafe — Restaurant in Edmunds Township

DO NOT MISS SUE’s! I could rant for an hour about the fabulous experience I had at Sue’s… so I will, but first, the essentials… for those who don’t want to read a book: FRESH food made with all of the love, attentive and friendly service, and quaint atmosphere. I cannot attest to breakfast, which is run by Sue, but dinner, run by the Parkers, was abundant in portion size and the fairest prices I’ve seen this decade. The most accommodating folks to ever run a restaurant!!

And now, the long version:

The Food: I shared a MOUNTAIN of fried fresh seafood with my boyfriend and we left with enough for another meal. The seafood platter had an entire side of haddock, 4-5 giant scallops, and 8-10 full belly clams. All of this came on top of an ample bed of mixed potato and sweet potato fries, onion rings, and cornbread. Also served with 2 sides of coleslaw and tartar sauce. The seafood was battered and fried to golden and juicy perfection by the German self-taught chef (sorry I forgot his name!) This meal alone was more than enough, but in case it weren’t - when you’re seated you are served a homemade white bread with fresh garlic butter (just how I like it- fresh grated garlic with just enough butter to cream it together - so spicy, fresh, and wonderful). I cannot wait to return to try some of the Chef’s HANDMADE pastas. The special that night was scallop agnolotti, which was really hard to pass up! The chef was so accommodating that he even whipped up a single portion of cocktail sauce for my boyfriend (even though it’s nowhere on the menu) and they didn’t charge us for it! Also, if you’re a lemonade fan- don’t miss the opportunity to try some of their flavored varieties- which are made by mixing in homemade jams!

The Service: attentive, accommodating, friendly, generous, kind.. this man went above and beyond for my table, and every other table served. Micha Parker (I hope I remembered it correctly) DONT EVER CHANGE. He took excellent care of us, and even shared some of his test cookies with us- on the house. Apparently these cookies are sold somewhere locally (forgive my failing memory), but they were testing out a lemon iced, blueberry jam filled, sandwich cookie that was lovely, not too sweet, and a perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

The Atmosphere: a welcoming cottage-y vibe, with historical photos, lots of plants, and some antique decor. It’s simple, clean, and inviting, and not overcrowded. It’s just what it needs to be.

While I cannot attest to Sue’s breakfast, the Parker’s contributions to this unique establishment are divine! This is a true GEM, and I can’t wait to come back for pasta and breakfast. Thank you all for a genuine and...

If you want an authentic homemade real Maine diner this is it! We stopped in for lunch because we always saw cars here and had tuna salad sandwich and a BLT. Everything was very fresh - the bread was even homemade. We found out they did a special lobster meal on the weekends for Friday and Saturday night (you NEED reservations) which we couldn’t pass up and we were not disappointed. Coleslaw and corn was VERY fresh. We’re usually pretty picky about our restaurants and we don’t hand out five stars very frequently but Susan has a wonderful place here she really deserves it. We will...

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here. We came for dinner, which I believe is only available if you make a special reservation (usually they just do breakfast and lunch). We each got a full lobster dinner, complete with coleslaw, cornbread, fries, and a GIGANTIC whole lobster. Great value for the price. Our waiter was very likable and attentive, and Sue herself came out multiple times to check up on us. 10/10 cannot recommend Sue's Cobscook Bay Cafe enough. An unforgettable...
