Dear Guests, effective October 13, 2024, the Whale's Tooth Pub is closed, and is for sale to spend more time with family, all of whom live out of state. We have so enjoyed serving you!
The Whale's Tooth Pub, open year-round, is one of Maine's most popular gastro pubs, where it's all about the food, mixology and personal service! Nestled between Camden and Belfast, the Whale’s Tooth Pub is located on 400 feet of beautiful oceanfront in Lincolnville, voted among the top 20 most picturesque towns in the United States according to Outdoor Magazine. Using fresh ingredients from farm and sea, we passionately serve delicious pub fare, including our famous Fish 'n Chips, voted top 10 in Maine by Best Things Maine! We also delight with elevated seasonal specials and tempting craft cocktails! We hope you enjoy our unique culinary twist, served inside a 1777 classic English pub with a priceless view, and a huge roaring fire during the winter!

    We will miss all of you—your sweet and funny servers, that amazing fireplace, and most of all, Chris and Martha. But I totally get it. Thank you for sharing yourselves these past four years. You have all enriched our lives.

    Embarrassed to have taken out of town visitors to dinner at the WT Pub. We have been multiple times since the 'new' owners have taken over. Last night at 6:30 we were told they were out of a number of menu items because they were changing over to the Fall menu. However the Fall items were not available either. Our guests had staple items; hamburger and lobster roll that were unremarkable but passable I chose the 'signature' Fish and Chips' and my wife had the special flat bread pizza. My dish was sub-par and hers was inedible.

    We had the Irish Nachos which we devoured. Then we had the Fish and Chips. The batter was so crispy and tasty. Plus the portions are huge.

    We have dined at the Whale’s Tooth Pub many times and usually enjoyed it, but last night we had the worse experience we had ever had. We had made a reservation and were seated outside on the deck, but about 15 plus minutes went by and nobody came to take our order. Meanwhile we observed other tables that were seated after us having their orders taken and receiving drinks and some tables appetizers. I finally went inside to the bar where three waitresses were standing around and asked if somebody could come to our table to take our order. One did and then we did not see her again for an extended period of time. My wife and I were debating if I should go back inside again in search of our waitress when she finally came back with our drinks and our appetizers. It would have been nice to have gotten our drinks first instead of not being served them until the appetizer was served. A while later the waitress returned with our dinner order, but apologized that she had accidentally spilt half of my wife’s dinner down her front and assured us she would have it replaced, which she ultimately did. My wife and I ordered two more beers which never came. When we inquired the waitress blamed the bartender and went back inside and later returned with our beers. It was a poor dining experience which shocked us since normally we enjoy the Pub very much. It may be a while before we try the Whale’s Tooth again.

    Hi Elliott, I am very sorry for this experience! This is not what we strive for, or are known for. We strive for perfection and sometimes fall short! Again, our sincere apologies!

    Fantastic setting and service. Food quality was quite good - lobster rolls, haddock, flatbreads. Would recommend and definitely go back.

    After having a home in Camden, ME for nearly 5 years we have not found anyplace where we enjoy eating than at the Whale’s Tooth Pub. We are treated like family by wonderful staff and management, and the food is always delicious. It is so relaxing to sit on their deck and enjoy the beautiful views. Highly recommended!

    Excellent service. Buzzing flies (we were indoors) were a nuisance, however.
