Fryes Leap General Store & Cafe

The food is good and it’s a great location. Two stars is for the take-​out experience.
Unable to find space to dock the boat, we opted to send a party ashore for take-​out. Unfortunately, we learned that they have a separate take-​out menu that is much smaller than the full menu, and doesn’t include any of the things we were excited to have (we’d been planning on going here since the beginning of our trip). We asked the bartender if we could order from the full menu, and were told no, that wasn’t possible, we could only order from the abbreviated menu.
Why? Who knows. Given that you could (presumably) ask them to box up anything that you order at a table and don’t finish, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to box it up from the start. It’s a totally arbitrary choice on their part, and in our opinion, a very bad one.
In the end, the limited food we were able to get was good, just not as good as what we had actually wanted.

Good food great location overpriced
Great pizza get anything and you will have a good meal

I take my family here every week during the summer best pizza and onion rings around try the Frye pie your kids will love it get here early as the docks tend to fill up quick

What a fun experience. My family looks forward to eating at Fryes Leap every year. Food is good. We had the yummy pork tacos, chicken bomb, grilled cheese and fish and chips. Price is manageable. Cannot beat outdoor seating. Parking is at a dock. Make sure you get a coffee/​latte to go from the bar.

They had egg plant Parmesan on special this weekend. Best dish I have had at the Leap in 15 years! Always trying new things which has been great. Craft beer selections rock!

Greeter D–
I would have given this a 5 star rating but the mean/​evil «greeter» really p*ssed me off.
Browsing Unilocal for interesting stuff to do we found Frye Island. We hopped the ferry (almost impossible to find but I think that’s kind of deliberate) and planned on getting lunch at Fryes Leap Café.
It was 11:30am and we were the first people to arrive. The «greeter» rolled her eyes and reluctantly got up from her chair rolling napkins as we arrived in the truck (I guess you should arrive in a golf cart/​boat???)
She tried to seat us way up on the porch — again, there was NO ONE there. We asked if we could sit on the deck overlooking the water. She hummed and hawed and said it wasn’t usually «allowed» and then showed our party of 4 to a table for 2. There were 3 open tables for 4 people.
We sat down with table legs where they shouldn’t be/​squished up against each other and 30 minutes later watched as parties of 2 were led to large open tables.
Our waitress was awesome, the food was really good (I had some kind of BLT with spicy mayo and it was ⁹⁄₁₀), Mr H said his chowder was great but the sullen «greeter» experience kind of marred our lunch.

I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. Unless you’re an islander, expect to get here by boat. Docking can be a challenge, but with the boating culture in Sebago, someone will help by grabbing a line.
Great views, good food, a store attached with fresh muffins and coffee every morning after the 6am ski…
I love the trivial pursuit cards that are on the table for guests to read while they wait. And they finally updated some! They used to be all circa 1981, asking «Who is the last person…» or «Who holds the record for…» — hilariously outdated.
Enjoy the lake, enjoy Frye’s leap across the channel (only when someone’s not guarding it), and enjoy this nice little spot.

We were fortunate to have friends who live in Maine and own a boat on Sebago Lake take us out for a few hours. We ended up at Frye Island and at the Fryes Leap Café. First of all, you gotta love a place where there is basically parking for restaurant patrons coming in via boat. Where is that option on the Unilocal tips?
The menu and food is very pub-​like, but everything is executed extremely well, and the view is great — you’re a stone’s throw from the water. My burger was perfectly cooked, and my wife’s lobster roll was the way a lobster roll should be — lobster, lobster, and more lobster, with a dash of mayo to keep it together while sitting in an overstuffed hot dog bun.
