The graham cracker pie is to die for! From out of state and was first time eating here. Great little gem.

Helen’s is & always has been a favorite of our family when visiting the Ellsworth area!! Great home-cooked food (mmm baked goods, as well!), lovely people … Can’t wait to stop by again soon!! I always recommend Helen’s to locals as well as to those fine folks “from away!”
Best wild blueberry pie on earth served by friendly food servers!
O.M.G. Yum! Dinner was amazing, but skip iy and go straight to PIE! Service was fast and attentive even though they were really busy. This was my first visit, but it won’t be my last!
My favorite place to go when I travel back to visit family.
