Angler's Restaurant 542 Elm Street, Newport, ME 04953

"Fantastic, personable service two days in a row! Parties of 3 and 4 were handled flawlessly but they are capable of much larger groups. Food is always delicious. UPDATE 1/30/24 Always just the most delightful food served by gracious and friendly people - today we had the lovely Rita helping with our menu selections, she was awesome, the food was great (of course!)!"

"We stopped here after a camping trip and on the way back home to Jersey. Had sweet and spicy shrimp (not spicy), lobster roll, broiled scallops, and finished up with Maine blueberry pie. Everything was delicious! Recomend coming off the beaten path to go here for through travelers."

"Pros: Tasty, large portions, lively atmosphere Con: Busy (it's a holiday weekend so it's to be expected) I'm visiting friends up here and they recommend Angler for dinner. I got the lobster rolls, and my friends got the haddock sandwich, fried scallops, and the chowder. The lobster was moist and generously portioned, the fried scallops pack a lot of flavor and the squash was one of the best I've ever eaten. My friend had to take half her haddock sandwich home as it was massive. Overall it was tasty. I didn't realize I could do the lobster roll no mayo with a side of butter. Oh well. That one's on me. :)"

"My wife and I arrived on a Saturday evening just before 6 p.m. We were seated within minutes despite it being very busy. Our server, Angela, was awesome!! I ordered a cup of New England Clam Chowder as an appetizer. My wife and I both ordered the Angler's Platter, a fried seafood combination. I ordered Cole Slaw and French Fries as my sides. My wife ordered mashed Butternut Squash and Onion Rings. The Chowder was amazing! Full of clams. A thick tasty broth. The Angler's Platter consisted of Whole Belly Clams, Sea Scallops, Baby Shrimp and Haddock. The portions were very large! Everything was cooked to perfection and was extremely flavorful. Some of the best seafood I've had in quite awhile. I can't say enough about the wait staff. All were smiling and working quickly to take care of the customers. Our server, Angela, was so on the ball that she saw us slowing down our speed of eating and knew it was time to bring boxes. She was handling many tables but still noticed what all her customers were doing and anticipated the next move! Kudos. Great atmosphere at this exceptionally clean restaurant. Restrooms were well stocked and spotless. From our table I could see into the back of house and the entire area was spotless and very organized. We were looking for a good seafood place and we found a great one. We will be back again very soon."
