Not the best

Keith McDonald

Amazing Lobster Roll!!! Great service! The sausage was also top notch. Don't miss it.

Great food all around. We went about 30 minutes after opening, and they did not yet have brisket or ribs. Fried food has the best batter I've had, no too heavy or greasy. All the seafood was fresh. Pulled pork was amazing and the sauce options were phenomenal.

Great food

The best BBQ I have ever had. I ordered the First Responder Burger but requested brisket in place of pulled pork and it was phenomenal. The staff are extremely friendly and make you feel right at home. 5 stars for sure!

Leah Porter

Everything was AMAZING! Quick service and excellent quality BBQ and fried lobster!

Anna von Marschall

Pricing is fair, brisket was awesome! But potato salad, I was not a fan of, neither was anyone in my party and clam chowder could use some work. But staff was very friendly and pleasant!

Liam Smith

Food was decent and service was good. Mac and cheese was a bit bland and lacking of cheesiness. Brisket was good but a bit fatty. Didn't try any of the seafood. Pulled pork was a bit cold.

Chris H

Just wow. The smoked lobster roll was amazing. All meat, not a giant glop of mayo and some lobster like many places. Would you look at that claw?!

Very good food! Highly recommend.

Stopped in while on our first beach trip here. At best, it's cafeteria quality. Over priced for portions. (Very small) Lobster taco was solid, but there were two pieces of shell I almost cracked a tough on. Coming from the west where there is excellent bbq, this doesn't come close to good bbq. Pleasant staff though.

Patrick Carnahan

Great food and service! I got the lobster roll with double meat and my wife got the pulled pork sandwich. Both were very delicious! The lobster roll is quite pricey but I wanted to try it once while I was in town. The barbecue is awesome too and definitely worth coming back for!

Corinne Peck

Great food and very helpful with a food allergy

Isaac Yglesias

Lugar agradable en el pueblo de York que sirve comida casera de buena calidad. Los precios parecen razonables para la comida que sirven. Toda la barbacoa muy rica...y el macaroni con lechón lo mejor que ya he probado! Entre los lugares mejores para almorzar en el pueblo y merece sus 5 estrellas :)

Marie DiChiara

Tender fall of the bone ribs, tender delicious brisket, best baked beans and many more delicious entrees!Wonderful family owned business.

Greg Fuller

High quality BBQ and seafood, great service, and clean environment. Prices are on the higher side but very fair given the portion. Excellent BBQ sauce.

Travis G.

Great chicken sandwich and decent fries (with delicious spicy BBQ sauce). Friendly service as well.

Donald Outlaw

The food was great the employs were helpful and nice and the price was reasonable

Linda Vaudreuil

An unexpected gem of a casual restaurant! Everything was outstanding with a generous portion. The fried clams were sweet and melting in my mouth! The hubby loved his smoked lobster roll. My daughter's regular lobster roll was overloaded with fresh lobster meat. My son's pulled pork....well, it was huge and delicious as well. Check out the photo. Complementing my fried clams was delicious coleslaw, crisp fries and a very yummy tarter sauce! We will be back!

Who knew you could get BBQ this good by heading north?

The food here is excellent it’s to bad they don’t understand the basics of hospitality and customer service. I have visited York beach beach 4 times this summer, on our first visit we spent the afternoon exploring all the fun attractions in the area, old school arcade, amusement park, etc. My kids decided they wanted pizza we got them a couple slices at the neighboring restaurant. Myself and my wife decided we would check out the BBQ place next door. Great menu ton of options, bbq and lobster. They also have a small selection of beers to down with your ribs. I remember the food we had because it was good. I had a rib plate and my wife got a lobster roll that was loaded with lobster. We have now visited Gaskins each time that we’ve come to the York beach this summer it had kinda become our place for lunch. This past time we had a very different experience. As usual my kids wanted pizza so we did what we have each and every time that we have come up here got them a couple slices and went next door to order the adult food and beverages. On a side note I’ve made it point to thank them every time we go in because I know it’s not an ideal situation to have patrons bring food in from another restaurant, but that is the very reason we have returned. I ordered food for myself and drinks for my family and myself.The kids were just going to eat a couple slices of pizza, and we were going to order food here, but before my mother could even get in the door she was asked to leave.I explained to them everything I just expressed above. Also my mother was about to order more food from them. I asked to have my money refunded since I couldn’t sit and eat my food with my family, they refused. So we left and will never return. Being hospitable means treating people as if they were in your own home., making people feel comfortable and welcome. Customer service revolves around doing everything anything to make your customers have the best experience possible,not throw them out and threaten to call the police for ordering food and tipping the staff Update response to owner: I’m not offended by a policy what I am offended by is that nothing was handled in way that makes us feel like we should frequent your establishment again. Your a small family run business and should treat people with respect if you would like them to return. I purposely chose your restaurant because I saw that it was small and family run.My mother barely walked in the door before someone got on her about bringing food into your restaurant. The correct thing to do would’ve been to politely come over a speak to me, the paying customer, and explain the situation and we probably would’ve been cool. But instead the woman behind the counter wasn’t pleasant at all didn’t want to talk me at all and all this in front of all your customers. Then threatening to call police on me for doing nothing wrong is in poor taste. I purchased about 30 dollars worth of food from you and I tipped a counter person 25%(which is crazy because there should be no need to tip a counter person if you payed them correctly) because I thought you operated in a manner that was hospitable and I wanted to support your staff for doing so. I was a paying customer who sat at a table after purchasing food and tipping the staff and you aske me to leave, really !!! In your response you said you were now to busy to allow this to happen anymore. Who do you think helped get you to this point? it’s your customers! Return customers in particular, which was me! To adopt and enforce a policy that asks paying customers to leave your establishment is just not good way to go about business, over time it will take a toll on your small restaurant and customers like me will not ever return, and eventually you won’t be to busy for customers like me?! Restaurants operate with very small margins I doubt you afford to turn away business, which what you did to us.You need to take the time to accommodate and listen to your customers and then they will return

Stopped in quick for lunch(no research) and was pleasantly not only was the food great but the people working (assumed owners) we're very attentive and great with my kids. My wife had the lobster roll which was loaded with meat, has been the best one I have tried since in York. I also got the lobster Mac (for the kids), which my daughter was nice enough to eat all the lobster out of before deciding she was full. Finally I had the lobster tacos(3) which were great yet again full of meat and had a slight kick to them. Gaskins is definitely on my list for another visit. Maybe I will try something without lobster next time.

Surprisingly good BBQ for a Maine beach town. Clean place, friendly staff. They have chicken and salad option for people who may not want BBQ.

Great BBQ food right on the ocean. This place is amazing with wonderful people running it..

Joss Delaney

Regrettable. Overpriced for questionably fresh fried seafood. Beer selection lousy and limited. Avoid avoid avoid

Christine Elwell

Best place ever! We arrived to York late, and Gaskins was closed. When they heard we had 10 hungry mouths to feed, they willingly opened their restaurant and cooked dinner for all of us. What a wonderful family!!!

The best lobster roll we have ever had. Plenty of lobster meat cooked just right. The service is always good even when the place is packed. We love to sit at one of the tables outside and eat our Lobster rolls. We go every year and every time we visit York. Will be back up this weekend can't wait to get my Gaskins Lobster roll. The bar b q is really good also. This place is a gem.

Frederique Canuel

Really good brisket, kind of a reminder of meat I had in the South. The green beans are amazing!!!

Gavin Ayling

As a coeliac (celiac in US English) we are here because of their clear gluten free signage and good food options. Very tasty... The perfect dinner before the Independence Day fireworks at Short Sands.

The Admiral of New England

Great combo of barbecue and seafood.

Mike Meunier

Great food, great service. Shame it'll be another whole year before I get the chance to have another meal here. Definitely worth trying!

You are the beach it's going to be pricey. My burger was 8 dollars and to add French fries and a drink it was plus 4 dollars. With that said it was such a delicious burger, and a good amount of fries and food that I was full and satisfied. Most places that are pricey like that dont give you enough food, but this place is perfect. Its cozy, free refills on soda, and they have their own bbq sauce that is so delicious!

Elle Town

Got the lobster mac n cheese. Bland and unimpressive. Lobster was chewy. Husband got the pulled pork and chicken. Pork was bland and the chicken was chewy.

John Janikas

An unexpected gem. What we expected was typical seafood fare with perhaps some mediocre barbecue. Instead very good seafood and outstanding barbecue. The ribs, beans, cole slaw, and Mac and cheese were all excellent. Great for a takeout meal on your deck or patio. The owner and staff are exceptionally friendly. You can't go wrong here. By the way, prices are very reasonable.

Carolyn M Austin

Al Ferraro

Awful lobster. Awful service. Too expensive.

Jenn Green

I grew up in alabama and boy did this food make me homesick! Had the pulled pork plate, with baked beans and Cole slaw. Best bbq north of the Mason dixon line! Wish you were open year round!

Scott Lemonde

Try the smoked lobster roll

Matt Guimond

The food is amazing, the service is great!

Jennifer Qu

Very good place for lunch or dinner. Very casual atmosphere. The food was excellent. We had Mac & Cheese, puller pork sandwich and the beef brisket sandwich. For sides we tried the baked beans, Cole slaw and potato salad. The kids loved it too. Good place to go if you get tired of buttered lobster.

Sara McClain

You got to try their smoked lobster! ABSOLUTELY great!

Stathis m

Good food...smoked lobster roll was amazing, family run business is all the difference..bbq beans,chicken fingers and fries, cheeseburger with pulled pork on it, and my goodness the banana pudding was amazing... The people are very friendly because they care and it is there business...

Ryan Fitch

Outstanding food! Very reasonable price! And the staff was great! Definitely coming back. We couldn't even finish all of our food the portions were so generous. You've got to try this if you want great BBQ in Maine.
