50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Kennebunk

“Had an awesome dinner here. Great cocktails. Started with the salmon rillette which was a refreshing light bite. I had the lobster vol au vent and my husband the pollock Wellington, both delicious. Desserts were great, definitely worth the stop!“

“Love this place! Recommend this place for a unique quaint place to relax“

“My wife and I stayed in Kennebunk for a couple days this week and our first stop was The Pilot House. Elliot was upstairs on the ship and he was awesome, he gave us great recommendations for food in the area, and pointed us at the best things to try. 10/10 would recommend the Clam Chowder, and hands down this place is the best view in Kennebunk. Maybe take a light jacket for the wind up on the ship, but it’s an amazing view unmatched by anything else in the area. Lastly, parking in general in Kennebunk is difficult/expensive, The Pilot House has their own parking lot with great availability in our experience and is free for patrons of their restaurant/tours.“

“I heard nothing but things about CLAM SHACK. The FRIED CLAMS BOX WITH FRIES awesome The Clam Chowder was delicious & I ordered the LARGE LOBSTER DINNER they messed up order gave me a small. Lobster was fresh & delicious. Negatives price was out of SIGHT but the food was VERY GOOD. Lower your prices THE KIDS GOT TO EAT!“

“After a stunning sail along Maine's coast, we craved a snack. We landed at Brix + Brine in downtown Ogunquit, enjoying cocktails & their massive platter loaded with oysters, shrimp, crab meat, & lobster. Everything was incredibly delicious.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic experience. The extra dirty martinis were spot on, the oysters and scallops were outstanding, and our server was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. Attentive, warm, and made the whole meal feel effortless. We’ll definitely be back. 🍸🦪“

“Delicious ! Great wait staff.! Atmosphere was quite comfortable. Thank you“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“Delicious lobster roll and very nice people who cook fresh food! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reasonably priced meal!“

“We live on Cape Cod, but we travel up to Ogunquit area a few times each year and it’s never ever a trip until we get to Billy‘s chowder House. It’s awesome. Love the food, friendly atmosphere just a blast to be there not to mention the rum punch.“

“We visit Wells Beach a couple of times each year, and the Lobster Pound has become a regular highlight for us. Great food, very reasonable prices, and extremely friendly customer service. We're genuinely sad they're not open for our first visit this year, but can't wait to eat here again later in the season.“

“I took my daughter her when she visited me in Maine. She wanted a lobster roll. We're were driving by and decided to take some out. I order rd d the fish taco and she had the lobster roll. I had a bottle of water with me, because I always carry water and drink throughout the day. Thee woman behind r
The counter asked if we wanted drinks when we said No, she looked at me and said Absolutely no carry in good or beverages. We told her we would take it with us. She told us the state of Maine was very strict about bringing food or beverages in. She then asked where we were planning on eating the food, which I found to be a strange question. I told her the car. She told us that we were not allowed to eat on the property. This is the strangest thing I ever heard. I live in Maine. I eat takeout all the time and prefer and yes I sometimes eat in my car with my own beverage. The place smelled like fried grease and that smell is offensive to me , because the place smelled I wasn't expecting the food to be good, but it was surprisingly delicious. Excellent coleslaw. Too bad we weren't allowed to sit in the comfort or our car in thier lot, because my germs might infect all thier food. We drove to a nearby Wendy's parking lot to eat while we drank our own beverages. Oh, and nobody from Wendy's stopped us from eating outside food and beverages in thier lot.
I think I will avoid taking future visitors here in the future.“

“A step back in time. Great people and service.“

“Lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. I loved the lobster salad, fresh and tasty.“

“Best food in town 10 of 10“

“One more stop lobster dinner before heading south out of Maine. Went with the cold lobster roll this time. Was very good. I ordered the special. Lobster roll and clam chowder. Glad I did. Clam chowder was creamy as I like it. We sat at the picnic tables outside for a little while and took the rest on the road. Bae’s onion rings were really good.“

“Indoor and outdoor seating in the summer makes The Front Yard - Ogunquit Maine the perfect place to stop for dinner, highly recommend!“

“My husband and I drive 1 1/2 to eat here! Last night was super busy and I’ve got to tell you. The wait is worth it! Our food was amazing and quickly served to us!! The mussels are the BESt! No one prepares them as good as your place . Thank you from Parsonsfield, me!“

“Doing it right and maintaining classic traditions. One visit and we were hooked! Keep going and know your efforts are appreciated! Great food, attitude and atmosphere that should be preserved. God Bless the Maine Diner!!!“

“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“Not often I leave a review but I absolutely love this place. The staff is so kind and the food never disappoints me. When I got my wisdom teeth removed, this place basically ensured that I ate a filling meal. Personally, this restaurant is my comfort spot and I look forward to always coming here. I normally get the pho and the spring rolls, and I've ordered it enough that the staff is starting to remember my order 😅“

“Absolute perfection! The ocean views are breathtaking, and the food is fresh, delicious, and beautifully served with a view to match.
What made our stay truly special was the incredible kindness of the staff. Everyone was so welcoming, but a huge special shoutout to Shanika—her radiant smile and warm energy brightened every single day!
Stunning views, amazing food, and unmatched hospitality. We can’t wait to come back!“

“my grandfather and I used to eat here thank you for running such an amazing buisness!“

“Love the vibe! Great drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“We had an 8 pm reservation, but it took a little time to clear the table from the previous diners (kids, some food on the floor), which was fine - we were with friends and enjoying conversation. We were seated at 8:15, and our server poured tap water. She said she'd be right back. It was ten minutes later when my wife mentioned to the hostess that we'd like to order cocktails. Five more minutes passed, and I asked another waiter to please have our server come to the table. Finally, twenty minutes after we were seated, our server took our entire order. We got our cocktails at 8:55, forty minutes after being seated. The food arrived at about 9:15. The cocktails were great and the food was delicious, so I'm giving the food five stars, but the service was poor, very slow. We've dined here probably forty times over the past fifteen years, and loved it every time - until last night. We recommended the place to our guests and they had not been before, so we were really disappointed at the service. Our server was perfectly cordial and friendly, but gave no explanation for the slow service. I hope it was just an off night, and our next visit will be back up to what we've come to expect over the years.“

“Happy Dragon is our favorite Chinese food in the area. It took a number of different restaurants before we discovered it. My family from Florida (8 of us) ate there and EVERYONE loved it. Servings are large, prices are fair, and lower sodium. The item in my picture is a C6.“

“💯 recommend! my wife and I visited in Oct 2025,I wasn't a fish person until my breast cancer diagnosis, I fell in love with the blueberry wings and lobster ravioli here, I have been craving it ever since we left!“

“We had the best time here on an unexpected stop during a road trip. After driving all day from Vermont on a road trip back to FL we stopped in this little gem and before we even got into the doorway we were greeted enthusiastically by the owner Tony. The waiter Johanna and Tony guided us on how to order our very first lobster roll. We spent the evening laughing and joking around with them. We felt like we were hanging with close friends, which was just what we needed to end a long day. Thank you guys!“
