The first thing that comes to mind would be Boomers in.Nowray on Norway Lake. They have a big deck out back and their dining room has big windows looking at the lake. I don't think of the place as a "foodie" type establishment though and certainly not fine dining by any means. That being said, the onion rings and bbq pulled pork are awesome.

Are they ok? I get a vibe from them... like it's mostly regulars.

I think that's a fair assessment. Keep in mind this is small town Maine we're talking about. Of course they are going to be more friendly and welcoming to people who frequent the place. I grew up in OHills (moved away long ago), and now tha you mention it, I do recall that place being a hangout for the local biker crowd. I never had any issues there myself, but typically went for lunch and beers on the deck during the afternoon.
There is also Cindy's Dockside in Poland. I have heard the food isn't that great, and again it's mostly locals, but Cindy herself is a hoot. I have seen her leave the bar and actually drive drunk people home and come back. Never seen a bartender do that before....

The food at Cindy's is pretty decent. Not spectacular, but good enough that you'd stop again if you were passing by and hungry. Can't speak for the local/non-local vibe, because my mother knew one of their long-term employees pretty well so we kinda cheated there.
Gritty's in Auburn has been good the few times I've been there, and they do have water views.

I used to love their lobster roll, but I stopped going years ago because I got tired of listening to the owner scream at the staff in the kitchen. Has that improved at all?
