Grab a bite to eat!
Visit Red’s Eats and get one of their famous lobster rolls!
Don’t feel like waiting in that super long line? Try Sprague’s Lobster just across the street, on the wharf.
For a more sit down experience Sarah’s Cafe is also across the street from Red’s Eats. Yes, there is a theme here and its that some of the best places to eat in Wiscasset exist in some sort of food Bermuda triangle.
Just need coffee and a snack? Stop in at Treats and sip an espresso while you browse the wine selection and take a moment to appreciate the fancy-pants atmosphere of Hannah’s old summer job workplace.
