We only got as far as the ice cream but will definately remember having the blueberry ice cream near the lighthouse. The portions were more than adequate and it was delicious! Great spot to chill out and enjoy the sunshine and breeze!

We decided to try this restaurant after viewing the Nubble lighthouse. They were very accommodating to us, as we had our twins in the stroller. They gave us a nice table with a great view. We ordered the lobster bisque and lobster roll with onion rings. Everything was very good, but the lobster bisque was great. Very flavorful. I would... More

Unfortunately my husband and I did not have the best experience dining at this convenient restaurant. The food was overpriced for the quality of food. The staff was inattentive and neglected our drinks (I'm a huge stickler for this). The lobster roll was OK at best. The view was by far the only good thing about this place. That and... More

Nothing really special, but a nice outdoor seating area, the smell of the sea and the picture perfect surroundings of the Nubble lighthouse. It makes you feel like you're on holiday, which you probably are if you end up here! The clam chowder was very okay, almost good, nothing really special though. But it is the atmosphere that makes you... More

Fox's never fails to impress me. Yes, it's a little pricey, you're paying for the location. But the food and waitstaff are both exellent. Perfectly cooked seafood - fried clams are wonderful, and baked scallops with their "crazy crumbs" are to die for. Great cocktails!

It was pouring rain when we stopped to get take-out at Fox's...the chowder was delicious, fried clams fresh (but not greasy), coleslaw crisp and blueberry pie warm! We opted to sit in our truck (with our exhausted and rambunctious toddler) instead of dining in...fortunately, the view of the lighthouse served as an excellent view for our meal. My only disappointment... More

Fox's is a great seafood joint that sits right next to the Nubble Lighthouse and provides excellent outside views and take out food. Anyone looking for their fried food fix needs to check the place out. The prices are fairly outrageous but that is to be expected. Great chicken fingers, french fries, fried fish, and lobster rolls, as well as... More

I had the lighthouse dinner. The 1 1/4 lb lobster was sweet and tender. The garden salad was fresh with many different vegies. The rolls and baked potato were hot and tasty. The view was spectacular! For dessert, I had the delicious, hot and homemade, apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. I highly recommend Fox's. Excellent service too!

I have been around the Nubble Light House for most of my 50 years and have always past by it but never took in the incredible Down East menu offerings of FOX's! It has a long history and has passed hands many times but one thing for sure they do a great meal with an awesome view. It was a... More
