We were freezing our heinies off on May 25 in Kennebunk when we ran out of the rain and into the best lobster rolls and mussels of our week long trip! The craft brew sampler platter was pretty awesome too! Our server was a tad slow; however, it was quite busy that afternoon.

Took my sister on a Tuesday evening in June for her birthday. At 5:30, the place wasn't quite half full, but we have jobs in the morning, so couldn't make it a late night. We were seated immediately, in the center of the room, but all seats have water views. Our server, Nate was pleasant, but didn't reel off the... More

Went for dinner this past weekend. Husband ordered a lobster roll ($21) which came in a half-filled hot dog roll. No much meat at all!!! I had fish and chips and the piece of fish was extremely small. The Haddock chowder had an odd taste to it and was cold. Would not go back. Extremely expensive and very very small... More

Wanted a place to eat with friends when in Kennebunkport and found this place by accident last summer. I feel that its kind of hidden. We have been twice now. This has indoor and outdoor seating and has a view of the harbor. Its a fun atmosphere with part of the outdoor deck covered from the hot sun. Im not... More

My husband and I love Federal Jacks, everytime we are in the area, we ALWAYS eat there. We love sitting out on the covered deck and smell the Ocean air, and watch the boats. My favorite meal is the haddock tacos with aioli sauce. They are the best I've ever had. The wait staff are all always friendly, the choice... More

This is a good family restaurant that serves a terrific variety of their in-house brews. The food is good as is the service. Nice views of the Kennebunk river and marina. Well worth a visit!

We were a party of six celebrating a birthday. The host, server, bar tender, atmospere and food were excellent. We had a friend from home call in a request to buy a round of drinks for the table and the process was seamless. Our food and drinks were great and they even brought a birthday dessert out and sang to... More

Federal jacks is located on the second floor p their brewery overlooking Kennebunkport and the scenic river. Best place to eat is out... More
