Restaurants in Freeport
Despite all the outlet glitz of Freeport, a couple of small-town restaurants have persisted. For a quick and simple meal, you might head to the Freeport Cafe, 29 Route 1 (tel. 207/869-5113), for diner-style breakfasts and hearty sandwiches. The Lobster Cooker, 39 Main Street (tel. 207/869-5086), serves daily seafood, sandwich, and chowder specials on an outdoor patio with views of the shopping hordes; go for salmon, lobster, or crab.
For yet another option, try the Broad Arrow Tavern at the Harraseeket Inn.
