Chippers Restaurant

My absolutely favorite restaurant for local seafood and perfect steaks with authentic Maine cuisine in a fine dining experience. Chef to table service. Extensive wine selection. Every meal is exceptional.

What a surprise this was. The food is exceptional! Unbelievable...The service amazing. It is like a "high end" restaurant in a simple package. One would never know what lies within, which is why I felt it was important to write a review.

Hands down the best seafood restaurant in the Ellsworth area. If you don't have a bowl of their award-winning Haddock Chowder you're missing out. Everything on the menu is superb, but any seafood choice will be to your liking. The place itself is cozy and has a Maine-casual feel with a touch of elegance mixed in. During colder weather, wood fires warm and add charm in every dining area. Over the past two years I have enjoyed several visits with my wife and often with guests. I have never been disappointed in any way. I'll say it again - the Haddock Chowder is worth the trip.

Best. Chowder. Ever. I have seriously never experienced a haddock chowder as amazing as Chip’s. It has won many awards and it is very easy to see why. Each meal comes with a sample of it, but I highly recommend upgrading it to a cup rather than a sample or you’ll regret it forever! I recently took some family here, who know great seafood, and their reaction to the entire meal was, “best seafood I’ve ever had!” Chippers is even catering my brother’s wedding. This food is the real deal. They are only open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for dinner so make a reservations as fast as you can. You will not regret it!

GREAT service. Timely send out of all dishes. Food was amazing and they had a nice variety on the menu. We had the crab cake mushrooms, snails, duck and pesto salmon and every bit of it was delicious. Good sized portions and great environment inside. Overall one of the best restaurants in the area. Definitely plan on going back and well recommend this place for all
