About Robert's Maine Grill
Robert's Maine Grill is a Kittery restaurant with a casual dress code and the same listed hours every day: 11:30 AM to 8 PM. It works best as a practical Kittery stop rather than a place to judge by assumptions about cuisine, format, price, or special services.
Use it for a casual Kittery meal, not a high-stakes occasion
The clearest signal is the dress code: casual. That makes Robert's Maine Grill easiest to frame for diners who want a relaxed meal in Kittery without planning around formal attire or a highly structured experience.
Because details such as menu format, prices, seating, beverage program, service style are not confirmed, avoid building the decision around assumptions. If you are comparing options in or around Kittery, Tulsi is another named option to consider, but the better choice depends on the kind of meal your group wants and what each venue currently offers.
Plan around the daily hours
Robert's Maine Grill is listed as open Monday through Sunday from 11:30 AM to 8 PM. That schedule gives it a broad daily window, but it does not establish specific meal periods, menus, prices, reservations, takeout, delivery, or allergy accommodations.
For groups, the main decision is whether the casual setting and Kittery location fit the plan. If you are comparing nearby choices, Blue Mermaid Island Grill is another option to review before committing. For a broader scan of nearby options, use our full Kittery restaurants guide.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Robert's Maine Grill reads like a straightforward, product-first coastal diner that leans on the geography of Maine rather than on culinary theatrics. Situated on Route 1 amid outlet shopping, it favors familiar New England seafood preparations and a relaxed, accessible format. The writing stresses provenance and regional sourcing — lobster, clams and finfish from the nearby Gulf of Maine — and the kitchen's strengths come from the quality of the catch rather than concept-driven presentation. Expect an unpretentious, locally loyal spot where classic seafood plates are the point and the overall mood is relaxed and energetic.
Best For
This is a practical stop for shoppers, families and groups looking for dependable New England seafood without fuss. The Route 1 location and emphasis on throughput make it well suited to casual hangouts and family meals, and the menu of recognizable classics plays well for groups with varied tastes. Service and format skew accessible rather than formal, so it works for lunch or dinner after outlet browsing or as a neighborhood go-to for anyone who values direct coastal sourcing and familiar seafood favorites.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the signature seafood classics that define the menu: lobster rolls and lobster sliders for an immediate taste of Maine, and baked haddock or fish and chips for heartier plates. The copy emphasizes short supply chains and local catch, so ordering simply prepared seafood lets the provenance shine. Given the restaurant’s focus on product over gimmick, picking traditional preparations is the best way to assess the quality of the Gulf of Maine fish and shellfish at Robert’s.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Kittery
Robert's Maine Grill is the safer pick when convenience and broad group appeal matter. Blue Mermaid Island Grill is the better alternative if the group wants a less seafood-specific meal in Kittery, while Tulsi is the stronger choice when the priority is a more distinctive dinner rather than a casual Maine seafood stop.
For a seafood-first comparison, Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier leans more lobster-pound casual, so choose it when the atmosphere is part of the point and the meal can be informal. Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café is the better cross-shop for diners willing to leave Kittery for a more focused fish-house experience.
Moxy sits in a different lane: choose it when small-plates energy and a more planned night out matter more than a direct Maine seafood brief. For easiest fit with families, travelers, mixed-age groups, Robert's Maine Grill remains the practical Kittery pick.
