“ Wow what a place. Great food , awesome live band and a bar that serves a drink called a pain killer that goes well with the atmosphere. Excellent time to be had at this place. If you get a chance stop in. ”
“ Have nothing but great things to say about The Rough. The atmosphere is so fun and lively. There is music, corn hole and other games that the whole family can enjoy. The food is also fantastic and there is a huge variety of options. I had my wedding here last summer and they truly made everything I wanted my big day to be, happen. I am so happy today is their opening day and can't wait for a fun summer. ”
“ Our favorite takeout seafood place was packed so we drove further north to look for another restaurant. We accidentally found lobster in the rough - it was set back a ways off the road. We had never heard of this place so our expectations were low. However, we were pleasantly surprised as the fried seafood was excellent. Good quantity of food for the price and fast service. The fish was fresh and tasty. Lots of picnic tables both in and out of the sun. We will definitely be back soon. ”
“ The food was great, service was great, live entertainment was really great! I'll go back anytime, especially when Among The Living is playing! Nice atmosphere. 3 Horseshoe pits, corn hole games and plenty of outdoor seating. The semi-outdoor bar was cool. I love the fire pits the most. A great place to be on a nice day. My wife is a tough critic when it comes to seafood, and she loved the lobster rolls. ”
“ What a neat find! Clam strips, lobster roll, scallops, and hot dogs were all good. Lots of fried food but very tasty. Live music, outdoor games, and plenty of space to sit, and for kids to run around. ”
“ Great place. Extra parking next door in the church lot. I found the twin lobster platter a better deal than the wife’s single big lobster. ”
“ I've been coming to the southern coast of Maine for YEARS and I always drove by this place... well shame on me. On a whim we stopped here on our way back down the coast at the end of our trip in September. We travel with our dog and it's hard sometimes to grab food. So we planned on just eating in the car but, while they do not allow dogs into the fenced in outdoor restaurant area, they do provide some picnic tables just right outside the fence where we were able to sit with her and enjoy some really DELICIOUS food. My fish sandwich was phenomenal and the housemade chips are ridiculously good. Our dog loved the hot dog (I sneaked a bite before I gave it to her and it was so good as well). The prices were amazing and just overall it was exactly what we were looking for. We will DEFINITELY be back the next time we are up there. ”
“ My sister and her husband and me and my husband had a surprise birthday party for another sister and her husband. L I T R did a fabulous job setting up the venue / bar and food. A good time was had by all. Me and my husband are from Chicago- we were very impressed with this establishment ”
