We have been coming to Boothbay Harbor for many years and have had many dinners in town at almost every restaurant. Sometimes you just get tired of seafood and want a burger instead. In my opinion, the prices of a burger in town have become outrageous - not a lot of bang for your buck. We decided to try Karen's Hideaway, and boy, are we glad we did. I had the BEST burger I ever had in all my times coming to BBH. I had the Cowboy Burger. It was huge and cooked to perfection! The price was also a pleasant surprise...only $12.00 for a huge burger, coleslaw (which was also delicious with small pieces of pineapple added,) and a bag of chips. Compare that to an $18.00 (much smaller burger) purchased at one of the places in town and you'll agree that Karen's Hideaway is worth the short drive.

Husband and I finally returned to Booth Bay, Me after probably 5 years, I must say when you snooze, you loose! I love this area and it didn’t take long to realize it. Won’t happen again! I do remember eating at Karen’s Hideaway and upon arriving at our Campground, we made a bee line the next day for an early dinner. Karen and her husband are the most nicest and kind people!! Hub and I both got large Lobster Rolls, each one with 1/2 pound of meat nestled in a buttered, toasted hot dog bun. Hub had his with light mayo, I had mine naked with drawn butter. We both had her delicious potato salad made with bacon and cheese. Very good hot fries as well. That Lobster was so perfectly cooked and so tender. We both were in Hog Heaven!! We had very little conversation because are mouths were full of lobster goodness. It was fantastic! We got a tour of the live Lobster tanks, Karen’s husband Garry even posed with two lobsters for me, he has the great gift of gab, lucky me! Other than Lobster and Crab rolls, you can get Hamburgers and Hot dogs and dinners. A great road side place to eat, many picnic tables with umbrellas to eat your food. Save yourself the aggravation of going downtown trying to find a parking spot, just pull up and plenty of parking and enjoy the fresh air and a Delish, fresh Lobster or Crab roll. Must try Karen’s, Debbie and Bob, Mich 🦞🦀🌭🍔

The fish is fresh and tasty. Yes this is not your sanitized chain, rather a quaint roadside establishment. I suspect most will pass this place and miss something probably more authentic to mid-coast Maine. Yes, I am not a fan of the cars flying by, the food makes up for it.

I'm intrigued and rather shocked at the 4.6 rating. Usually, I'm very agreeable with my experiences and the ratings by the majority of fellow google raters. We walked up to the building confused on exactly where to go. A lack of employees in either building added to my initial confusion. We stopped specifically for an authentic Maine lobster roll. After seeing lobsters in an aquarium in a run down garage building, I should've maybe tried a different place. The lobster tank inside was not clean and mold was in the top of the tank. Another reason I should've ran. I had no idea the price of the lobster roll and ordered based on what I expected the price to be for an out in the middle of nowhere place. No prices were listed. After I ordered it, I was told $30. I should've ran. Fast. And far. The lobster roll was served on an amazingly buttery flavored but incredibly small undersized hot dog roll. Very mediocre and very lightly seasoned/sauced lobster chunks were stacked on the bun. It was soooooo CHEWY and it took forever to swallow. It was served with chips and the smallest container or coleslaw in the history of any of the New England states. Don't spit on my face and tell me it's just raining outside. This place is STEEPLY overpriced for what you get. Lastly, marijuana smoke smells disgusting and I don't want my clothes saturated with that thick fungus'y smell of rank stank weed. That's all I smelled while waiting a while for the aforementioned $30 lobster mini roll. Ps....I choked some pepto afterwards...... just in case.

Don't let appearances deceive you! This was one of my and my husband's favorite stops during our stay. We were surprised by some of the most fair prices for lobster and crab rolls with quality that could not be beat, plus generous servings. I was also impressed by their sides. Sometimes, restaurants throw in potato salad, cole slaw etc. in as a side and it's mediocre - not Karen's. I LOVED their potato salad. I hope to come back next year and have another crab roll :)

Disappointing at best. If you have never had a lobster roll this place would be fine not great. $40 for a very small lobster roll and fries. The lobster was okay, a little rubbery and no claw. The fries were frozen, which is fine, but there was no salt and they were over fried. Nice people. For the cost you are much better off going somewhere not in Boothbay. Real tourist trap.

Came for the crab roll and was not disappointed! Best I've ever had! If that was the only thing I was rating it would get 6 stars! But we also tried the bacon wrapped hotdog which was as red as a cooked lobster and tasted nothing like a hotdog! The French fries were good, the onion rings were alright and potato salad was mediocre. I recommend this ONLY FOR THE CRAB ROLL.

I ALWAYS stopped here on my annual pilgrimage to Boothbay for a nice buttery lobster roll. Well I did just that on my way into town. I ordered the "Naked Lobster Roll" as opposed to the lobster roll with mayo. I always get it naked ! When I brought the food to the car my friend said the lobster is cold. Getting ready to eat it with drawn butter, I felt the meat and it was refrigerator cold. Had I put drawn butter on it the lobster would have solidified immediately which seems kind of gross. I brought the lobster roll back up to the window and asked if they could heat it up a bit. (maybe 30 secs in the microwave ?} The girl at the window loudly said "no !". You ordered it naked and that's what you got ! I said if I put the butter on it it's not going to be very good because the meat is so cold. She said "that's how we make them." I said I stop here often and always get the warm, buttered lobster roll and Karen herself turned around and 1/2 shouted "you never got a hot lobster roll here, we don't make them that way". Then the semi-toothless chef {?} piped in to further scold me for asking that it be heated. He yelled "it's already cooked, if I heat it up it will be like rubber !" I don't think 30 secs in a microwave, just to take the chill off is going to ruin it. Even if it does, I already paid for it and I own it ! At that point all 3 of them were yelling at me and refused to heat it. I ended up throwing the lobster roll at them and told them to shove it up their a#$. All this because they refused to nuke it for 30secs. I thought the customer was always right and I don't think my requested was that far out that I should not have been accommodated. I was really disappointed in their rotten attitudes and my "go to" place is officially gone ! Never again !!!!!

All amazing homemade food and if I'm certain, the ketchup was even homemade. Took my son and I there for lunch and grabbed my mom lunch as well, her and I both agree, best food we've had in a long time. The haddock was cooked to a T and the coleslaw and potato salad were incredible. My son loved his hot dog,chicken nuggets and fries. Really good size portions, we all had left overs for dinner. The lady who runs this place was super sweet, polite and down to earth. Will most definitely be returning this summer.

I see people were complaining about Karen's lobster roll price.They don't understand that the lobster price is SKY HIGH this year with the fishermen getting close to 10 dollars a pound at the dock and the average lobster is more than a pound to be legal in most cases.Karen gives you more lobster in your roll than anyone in the region and the price she gets is a very good deal. If you want lobster this year you have to pay more JUST LIKE SHE HAS TO !

I’m in Nantucket now and lobster rolls that are just as good and just as large are $29 at the Tavern restaurant on the wharf. Karen’s is way over the top in pricing considering her location and facility and you can get lobster rolls as good and much less expensive elsewhere along the road. The second day I got a haddock sandwich at Karen’s which was excellent and $20 less. And while eating on the picnic bench a mouse ran out of the adjacent building, circled a customers legs and ran back under the adjacent building. That said, I bought some lobsters from her husband next door at $9.99 per pound (going rate) and cooked at home. They were excellent.

Best deal on crab rolls around. Consistently excellent! I am not a lobster roll fan, but I am told that they are excellent as well. If you plan on eating the rolls later, ask for a "kit". They will provide the lobster or crab packed separately from the roll so the roll doesn't get soggy. The pinapple cole slaw is tasty as well! Can't wait for the next crab roll from Karen's Hideaway, and I just finished one!

Tiny little shack that you will almost pass by but you will be sad if you do. All I can review is the lobster roll, but really that is what a lot of us are out to eat. I have had lobster rolls from all over Maine and this is one of my absolute favorites! In my opinion, better than Red's. Sure it's not as big, but full of flavor, perfectly cooked and just what you are looking for in a lobster roll. You can get it regular with mayo or you can have it with drawn butter. Friendly staff and a little diamond in the rough.

This is the place to scratch your lobster itch. True, you can't drive through Midcoast Maine without tripping over dozens of these shacks, but if you find yourself on Rt 27 near Boothbay Harbor, skip everyone else and come here. A quick 10 minute drive from more popular spots in town, you'll avoid the long lines at other places and get (in my opinion) a superior lobster roll. Friendly folks, and it feels like you're just hanging out in Karen's back yard. Get a live lobster packed to go next door. 100% Maine.

From the friendly service to the simple, but ridiculously good food, Karen’s is a must try in the Boothbay area. This tiny, unassuming food shack serves up big value with a smile. We found this place here on TripAdvisor, and were intrigued by the promise of big flavor at low prices. Man were the reviews right! My wife loved her “big, sexy crab roll”, while I struggled to finish the most enormous, and perfectly cooked, fish sandwich. When I asked Karen what made the crab roll big and sexy, she explained that it was not only larger than the standard crab roll, but it also contained bacon. Sounded like a solid explanation to us! It arrived in a beautifully golden brown, griddled, oversized New England style hot dog roll, with a bag of potato chips. My fish sandwich had to be at least 12 ounces of lightly coated, flaky, perfectly fried haddock with lettuce, tomato and a side of tartar sauce, on a griddled bun. This behemoth was twice as large as the bun itself, and again was served with an accompanying bag of chips. Simple, but perfectly executed. At a mere $8 this sandwich is a steal! Our whole tab came to a paltry $26! This much fresh seafood would easily run you double that in Portland. Admittedly, a roadside food stand lacks the ambiance of some of the nearby seafood restaurants, but if you want fresh, no frills seafood cooked right without pretense, Karen’s is a wonderful spot. This woman is a one person dynamo cranking out great eats with a smile. The menu doesn’t end at seafood, although I’d steer you in that direction simply because it’s done so well. There are French fries, onion rings, burgers, and a ton of other options available, so everyone will find something good to eat here. Additionally, the adjacent lobster pound offers freshly steamed or live lobsters to go. Classic Maine, classic Summer. Thanks Karen!

I told her I was there to try her world famous lobster roll. Her response was I’ve won a few contests and they’re getting pretty popular. She told me she just got done picking the meat. The rolls were piled high with fresh awesome lobster! Wow what a treat! Enjoyed every bite! Thanks Karen! Of the four places we visited on our trip I only found one better.

Don't wait in a long line at Red's! Karen's has unbelievably good lobster rolls with a lot of meat, plus the crab roll is phenomenal! Just as good (if not better) than Red's Eats. Plus the atmosphere is awesome and a good time to be had all around. Definitely the secret place that locals go to instead of Red's Eats.

Very good food and reasonably priced. Karen is very personable and an overall kind person.

Excellent overstuffed lobster rolls at a fair price, with just the right amount of mayo and perfectly toasted rolls. The cole slaw was really good too. Good social distancing practices, clean picnic tables out back by the woods, and a clean outhouse with hand sanitizer provided. Highly recommend!

Visited because Trip Reviews recommended it. I only wish I had stayed longer in the area so we could have visited again! Extensive menu…something for everyone. Our lunch chicken and Gorgonzola salads

The food was great, atmosphere was great and the staff was great! The only reason I rated service a 3 was because it was a little confusing walking in. You order your protein right at the door and the
