28 Best Seafood Restaurants near Yarmouth

“I went recently for Sunday Brunch with a group of 6. We had reservations and they sat us immediately upon arrival. We were sat in the outside seating area which was nice and cozy. Despite it being winter, they have the outdoor area tented off with multiple outdoor heaters. It's nice because it's bright and the daylight comes through. The food didn't blow me away, it was really good, but not mind blowing. I'd definitely return if invited but wouldn't drive out of my way to get brunch. I had the French toast with blueberry compote and it was ok. We received the Sweater Weather drink (in error) and it was probably the best tasting thing on the menu! I highly recommend it. The coffee gets 10 stars. One of the most delicious cups of coffee I've had in a long time.“

“WE HAD BEEN GOING TO THE MUDDY RUDDER MANY TIMES PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC. FOR MANY REASONS WE HAVE NOT BEEN TO MANY RESTAURANTS SINCE. BUT OUR EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY WAS VERY GOOD. GOOD FOOD, GOOD SERVICE, AND THE PLACE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.“

“The fried clams were a bit overcooked and had a taste of older oil in the breading. On the other hand there was so many extra clams that they over spilled the excellent roll that was perfectly cooked. The french fries were excellent along with the coleslaw. Service was very good and the order didn't take too long to come to the pickup window. I'll try back in the near future.Parking: Plenty of spots overlooking the salt marsh and tidal creeks. Best to come at high tide.“

“We had a great time for lunch in a great setting by the water. Lots of windows and a cool space. Our server Sofia did a great job with recommendations and service that really enhanced our experience. The scallops on half shell were so fresh and sweet. The octopus was tender and flavorful. And my son had a lobster roll where the buttered toasted bun got just as many accolades as the tender lobster lol. Thank you alll for a great time with my son!“

“I was in the area on other business and this old warehouse building looking like it’s built with parts of wrecked ships that washed on at waterfront. I’m like what kind of cool building is this?? It turned out to be restaurant that I cant wait to try! I don’t know if they’ll let an old pirate like me in but I’m gonna give it try! Full review coming soon!“

“Food was great, but the restaurant was very packed. The oysters were probably some of the best I’ve ever had but the ordering process was a little complicated/confusing. I didn’t know that the main dishes were more like the size of appetizers and that you should order 2 and I was not informed of this so my main meal ended up being quite small, it was fine though, I had a stomach ache that day anyways.“

“The food was amazing and truly lived up to the expectations of Maine lobster. We all got the lobster roll flight, the taste was amazing and the flavor options were amazing. (Also this is like the only place where I can find my favorite soda Moxie Cola)“

“My husband and I have traveled the world, and this is among the best meals we’ve experienced!! A husband/wife team that created for us a perfect evening. The seafood paella was to die for, the scallops melted in our mouths, on a lovely salad bed. The garlic sauce was incredible-smooth as silk! For dessert we shared churros dipped in chocolate with super fresh coffee. Yikes- so good! We will be back when we return to Portland!“

“This place is the best fried fish sandwich you can sync your teeth into. They have a great special on Mondays and Tuesdays just for nobody even comes close to stellar fried fish sandwiches with lettuce and tartar for three bucks Drop the Mic.“

“Seating: ImmediateFirst dish arrival: 10 minutes, including all ordersI had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the swift service and exceptional quality of the food. Right from the beginning, the waiting time was nonexistent; our lunch was served within a mere 10 minutes of ordering.The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the clam chowder. It was the thickest chowder I have ever savored, served at a perfect, steaming temperature. This dish alone would make me return.The fried calamari was crispy and flavorful, though a spicy mayo sauce on the side could potentially elevate this dish even further. The fried haddock followed suit, maintaining a delightful crispiness that was thoroughly enjoyable.While the prices were a tad high relative to the portion sizes, this is understandable given the restaurant’s prime location. Despite this, the overall experience was positive enough to warrant a return visit. This spot is definitely recommended for those who value quick service and quality seafood.“

“We really enjoyed our first time in to the Maine Oyster Company, we went into just get a drink and a few oysters but ended up getting a few drinks and a couple plates as well. Bryn and staff were helpful picking out oysters although we did end up trying all of them and we really enjoyed the Tuna sashimi dish. Nice spot with very accommodating staff and cool vibe, we will be back.“

“OMG dog friendly;!!!!!!!! I had the pulled pork and it was very. Tasty but needed a little more sauce and more of the onions. Don't forget the delicious Cole slaw. Don't get me wrong we will be back for more food and DARK BEER!!!!!“

“Awesome experience at the Freeport Oyster Bar tonight! The bar tender, Sarah, was great at making sure we had everything we needed. We tried a bunch of the “Share” items. The menu was well curated from local vendors and we had a ton of fun with this menu. Get a bunch of oysters, drink some local beer, and eat local food! We will be back!“

“This was my first visit . It's a nice clean restaurant and seafood market that doesn't smell like one. The employees are friendly and helpful . Before visiting I did call because I was unsure if they had a place to eat in . My guest had coffee and they said it was great ! We both ordered combination plates of haddock and scallops with onion rings . We were served ice water when we were sat. That was nice . They had premium quality napkins and plastic cutlery . The haddock was amazing ! Along with the onion rings ! Perfect ! The scallops were huge ! But very wet so they were not crispy . I asked . So I was hoping to get bacon wrapped scallops or a lobster dinner which was not on the menu . They do sell live lobsters in tanks . Although the breading didn't have much flavor the oil they used tasted very clean . No after taste . We ordered a cup of seafood chowder to try but we're too full. Would liked to have seen more onion rings for the up charge as they were delish ! I will be back for sure ! Next time I'll try the steamed lobster dinner or the Maine man lobster roll ! Blueberry habanero sauce ! Yum ! Ps I'd prefer tartar sauce in individual cups instead of large squeeze bottles used over and over. On table room temp then in fridge then out and in . Mayo spoils . That would probably be the biggest complaint and other places do it as well. My guest said the pickles were good !“

“I have always loved the Bite Into Maine food truck at the light house. I was so excited to go to this location! I tried the 3 flavors mini lobster rolls this time! Yummy and fresh as always!! The staff were nice and friendly! I ordered online and pick up in store. The process was smooth and easy!“

“Wow. This place is absolutely wonderful. Went here for the first time ever on a date with my boyfriend. The food was so delicious and seasoned to perfection. The dessert we got was divine and the service was excellent. This is a great place to go on a little fancy dinner with your partner or to have a celebratory dinner. And the drinks are made so delicious.We got lucky and actually had a table available Saturday night, but it was packed for the most part. 11/10 will go here again.“

“Came here with a big group (7) for dinner on a Friday night during the off season in early March. We were seated right away upstairs which was extremely convenient. We ordered a few of the mojito pitchers for all of us which were really good. Each of us ordered appetizers for ourselves. I got the sunchoke dip and the rock potatoes. The sunchoke dip was interesting and thick in texture. The flavor was okay but maybe missing a little spice. The rock potatoes were AWESOME, really well seasoned and the dipping sauce complemented it really well. Super cute vibe and watching the karaoke at night was a fun way to end the night!!“

“Visiting Maine for the first time I decided to stop in and grab some food and it was absolutely amazing! Joshua was my server and was very detailed. The food was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you so much for the experience!“

“Portland, Maine’s Best sandwich/wrap shop of 2023 Po' Boys & Pickles is the real deal! The authentic Creole New Orleans' flavors are on point. Counter service was fast and friendly. The Blackened fish sandwich($15) is not to be missed! The sandwich is dressed with Cajun Cole slaw, sliced tomato and red pepper mayo. This is a huge sandwich, easily shareable and absolutely delicious!! The bread is from Leidenheimer Bakery, New Orleans. Founded in 1896, Leidenheimer's is the last of the old-school Po' boy bakeries. Po' Boys & Pickles has made the commitment to using the best bread and most authentic ingredients in all of their Po' boys and sandwiches. Truly an homage to New Orleans!! You can taste the goodness in every bite. The perfect accompaniment was a basket of sweet potato fries($6).The fries were perfectly crisp, not greasy, plentiful and delicious. Great quality, inexpensive dining experience!! I love this place and you will too! Highly recommend.“

“Our recent visit to David's for a birthday dinner was fantastic! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a special celebration.The haddock and mussels were cooked just right, and the bacon & white bean ragout added a lovely depth of flavor. The butternut squash risotto was creamy and delicious, and the spinach provided a fresh contrast to the dish.My mother's Tournedos au Poivre was also a hit. The pepper-crusted beef tenderloin medallions were cooked perfectly, and the green peppercorn and brandy cream sauce was rich and flavorful. The garlic mashed potatoes and autumn vegetable medley were the perfect accompaniments.We'll definitely be back!“

“Incredible breadth of menu, fantastic food, nice ambiance, and outstanding service. We ordered the chicken piccata (best I ever had) and chicken Constantine (really tasty dish with nice amount of vegetables). For dessert we had the bread pudding and death by chocolate. Both were very good, although I would prefer raisins in my bread pudding. Definitely recommend.“

“Small restaurant but really good food. Wait staff were excellent. Reservations needed most nights, I suspect. Some reviews suggested some dishes weren't good, but we enjoyed everything. Food was hot, flavorful, cooked properly, and a good value.“

“The service was absolutely fantastic, we had the same server both days we were at the hotel. Since it was off-season the hotel was much cheaper than normal. The server recommended the pancakes and we were not disappointed, the next day I got the scrambler with a pancake on the side. All of it is delicious. The prices are a little higher but you were getting freshly cooked food including whole potatoes, eggs, pancakes etc.“

“Wonderful experience! Great menu. We got there at 4:15, sat on the deck and stayed for sundown by 5:45. The haddock and the lobster pasta both lived up to Yelper reviews. As did the carrot cake. Jake was amazing - funny and works hard to take care of everyone be it pre-ferry or those staying on island. We will be back tom“

“I'm reviewing the hot dog option at this place. It was a bargain....toasted roll, side of coleslaw, bag of chips and pickles all for 4 bucks. Maybe not a gourmet lunch, but a very enjoyable experience eating at a picnic table on a beautiful sunny day.“

“Been here twice two years apart. A classic Maine / New England tavern for decent seafood and American grub. Loud and busy, as a tavern should be. Food is nothing astonishing but if you are visiting Maine, this is a nice place to experience the tavern environment.“

“My wife and I go to Freeport once in a great while so we try to find something new and boy did we find a gem. Nighthawk's Kitchen is off the beaten path, in the same area as the Shaws Plaza and located next to Mast Landing Brewing Company. You could miss it because it's a small space, but the food packs a punch (in a good way). The interior has seating for approximately 16. They have low and a couple high tables. They have a beverage cooler on the left, some business merchandise, a warmer for their breakfast on-the-go options and some confections sugar items leading up to the front desk. My wife and I were met by one of the staff who graciously opened the door for us. He provided us with a menu, said we could sit anywhere and offered us glasses of water while we browsed the menu. My wife ordered the Green Chile cheeseburgers which has hatch New Mexico green chilies and American cheese on a potato style role. She LOVED it as it brought back memories of her time in New Mexico. The owner did tell us that he get's all his green chiles directly from New Mexico through a vendor he has worked within when Nighthawk's was originally in New York. I had the BBQ burger which has bacon, bbq sauce, onion straws and I substituted vegan cheese in place of cheddar for dietary reasons. We also ordered a small fly for us to split. First off, I wasn't kidding when I said the food packs a punch. My burger was a smash burger style with great caramelization on the edges of the burger. One of the best burgers I have had in quite some time and my wife agrees hers was as well. The fries are hand cut, shoe string style. They par cook them in olive oil and then finish them in canola oil. They sprinkle salt and pepper on them and I ate them like I was eating popcorn till it was gone. Nighthawk's Kitchen looks and feels like a hole in the wall style restaurant and they are, but I enjoyed every minute of the atmosphere, customer service and the food. This would be a great spot for a future Yelp Elite event as they do offer alternative options. It may be a smaller menu than some, but there is no need to overload a menu that is already great to begin with. HIGHLY recommend trying!“
