Rivers Edge Drive In

Awesome food!!! Not very many tables to sit by the water. Pleasant staff. Delicious food. Good portions!! Plenty on the menu. Ice cream too!! Yummy flavors

The River’s Edge Drive is one route 1 in Machias. You can order everything from fried clams to ice cream. My clams were pleasantly crispy and I thought the fries were cooked just right. The soft serve ice cream tasted institutional and the lemonade was just ok. They do have some picnic tables but only a limited number and without umbrellas. The order takers were rather curt and I was not sure if that was in a New England way or that they just did not want to be there. The entire experience was just average. Oh and the prices will surprise you and not in a good way.

Sat at an outside table with water views. Ordered lobster roll basket and chicken tender basket, both were delicious.

Seafood baskets, wide variety of sides and many ice cream and custard treats. Even a doggie ice cream bowl with a dog biscuit on top. Takeout only, with fast moving lines of happy people. Tables on the river to enjoy your order on site.

The lobster roll that I got last week was terrible. I’m from Maine and this was truly inedible. (Took one bite and literally couldn’t eat the rest.) Only leaving a review to spare someone else the disappointment—and the $27!!!
