HOLBROOK’S LOBSTER WHARF AND GRILLE, known as the “snack bar,” features such menu items as fish tacos and a summer salad. The snack bar is open daily, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
“Our fish tacos are really popular. We make them with fresh grilled, blackened haddock, coleslaw, with our fresh sauce on a corn tortilla,” Gilmore said. “The summer salad is also really popular — it has blue cheese, candied walnuts, fresh strawberries and raspberries, served with our house dressing, which is an herbed Italian vinaigrette.”

Gilmore has noticed that harbor locals tend to bring their own coolers, while those visiting or unfamiliar with tradition will stop in at the store for beverages.
At the store, George Bruen, an employee of Gilmore’s who came along when the Gilmores leased the wharf businesses, can be found manning the register.“This store hasn’t been run as a general store for a while — it was more like a gift shop, so it’s been hard to know what to keep stocked,” Bruen said. “We have been trying to get a ship-to-shore business going, but it hasn’t really worked out too well. If people come in here by boat and they let us know, we have access to a skiff and can take groceries and supplies out to them.”
Holbrook’s Lobster Wharf and Grille is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily and Holbrook’s General Store is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Labor Day.
