“Holy! Seriously some of the best BBQ food I’ve had. Stumbled upon this gem via social media.. the prices are very fair, everything was cooked perfectly, the staff was attentive— we will be back!“

“Very tasty breakfast and drinks! I stopped in while visiting from Vermont and ordered a breakfast BLT and maple chai latte and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. Thank you, Tyler!“

“1st time here. had cheeseburger and fries. great cheeseburger!!! Would definitely recommend“

“This is a very big and specious restaurant with a gaming area, we came here dinner. I got the fish and chips, the Haddock was absolutely delicious. My friend got the steak and cheese which looked amazing and was yummy too. I had a Margarita and it was made just right, not watered down. We did not check out the pool tables but looked like it would have been a wonderful fun experience. Maybe next time. They have parking in the back of the restaurant, the street parking spots are always full. There’s a public parking garage about 3 minutes walk across the street. Overall, good restaurant, highly recommend.“

“The best…The new Peruvian comfort food menu & the drink menu is 11/10!“

“Wonderful friendly staff and delicious food!!!“

“So back in November, we went to Longhorn to have lunch after we’ve been doing some holiday shopping. Our experience was less than stellar. I reached out through their website to Longhorn and let them know what had gone wrong. The rice was bad the steaks weren’t right, The waitress was nice but she never came back to see if we wanted refills on our drinks. She didn’t bring my husband a spoon for his coffee so he could stir the cream in the sugar. It took a long time for her to bring us the bill and for us to get the check back after we paid the bills so we could leave. It was just a frustrating and bad experience. it was just a bad experience
, and it was the first one we really had.

They sent me a gift card, asking me to come back and telling me that if I had a problem in the future, please ask for a manager. Part of the problem with the first one also was sadly the waitress was not good. She didn’t pay attention to us. It took a long time to get things done.

Our second trip was a couple of weeks ago. The waitress was very good. The food was good. I ordered the baked potato without any onion as I’m allergic to. The food came out in a timely fashion the waitress refreshed our drinks as we asked it was a much better experience. I will say the sides when they came out my potato, especially it was good, but it really wasn’t hot and that was pretty much the big thing that missed the mark can’t give you five stars because of the first experience but I will say after them trying to correct the issue we will probably go back again. I didn’t ask for a manager this time Because I just wanted to have the deal done and we were on a time crunch, so yeah, they kind of redeem themselves on the second trip. If we go again in the near future will read again and see if it’s better.

I do appreciate the fact that they tried to take care of the situation as best as they could from the first experience so we will probably go again, but as a few people have previously noted in their reviews for the amount of money that the food costs, I expect it to be a good experience so we’ll see what the next one is, but they did redeem themselves after the first trip.“

“Wow. Best dang mozzarella moon sticks.“

“Amazing food & relaxing atmosphere.“

“Golden Rooster offers excellent service, great food, friendly atmosphere! They are very allergy friendly!! Marissa is wonderful, always friendly & helpful! Marissa is willing to go above and beyond when serving people with allergies! Definitely recommend the restaurant! Stop by and say hello! Ask for Marissa.“

“The most magical dinner experience. An absolutely beautiful setting accompanied by an incredible menu. Still thinking about the cherry soufflé.

It is pre-fixe for $175 or $250 per person. Something we didn’t realize before we sat at the table, but it was soooo worth it!“

“the food, the ambiance, the wait staff.“

“The Summer Salad appetizer is a must. Tender greens with fresh cucumbers and mangoes with pecorino. I also recommend the Quattro pizza with fresh burratta. It’s mouthwatering. Be sure to be seated in Mitchell’s section he’s an awesome waiter 😀“

“Ate here for the first time tonight it was so good! Server Matt was great! My husband and I both had the chicken Marsala, it was soooo good!!! Mouth watering every bite! 10/10 best place we’ve ate at!“

“Best breakfast in the Kennebunks! Delicious food, friendly service, bright and welcoming space.“

“Fantastic food, great service. We'll definitely be back!“

“We really love this place. Stumbled on it by accident and now its one of our regular haunts when we are in Maine. The food is always delicious, we love trying new things they add. We love this restaurant and can't wait to be back.“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“Pilot House was delicious! We came here as vacationers, after being turned away from 2 restaurants due to the extreme heat they were unable to stay open. Pilot House was able to take us at their upstairs bar which was gorgeous! The AC was blasting which was a God send. The bartender was very friendly and accommodating despite being super busy! Maybe the best fish tacos I ever had. Also had a great dirty martini and a strawberry lemongrass vodka.“

“Cool atmosphere and food was amazing! It was a busy evening but the service was perfect. We recommend and will return!“

“Ben there a few times for bkfst , the best around b patient it’s worth the wait, stop complaining everyone works hard , if your in a hurry go thru the McDonalds & get a greasy egg sandwich, Has anyone tried the Haddock dinner on Friday’s?“

“Another excellent dinner at the Burleigh. Great food in a nice room, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The slightly lemony Caesar dressing is lovely, and the stuffed halibut was, as always, excellent. The salmon sat on a very tasty bed of quinoa. The chef's sauces are flavorful but not overwhelming, so the flavor of the fresh ingredients is enhanced, not replaced. Which, of course, is the main reason we keep coming back.“

“Duffy’s Tavern & Grill is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The highlight? The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich—a perfect blend of crispy, juicy chicken with just the right balance of heat and sweetness. It’s absolutely delicious. Great vibes, great food—highly recommend!“

“How could anybody complain when we’ve just been through a pandemic - We’ve been through a shutdown, many thousands of people have died, schools closed & kids had to learn from home (and then had hybrid learning), many businesses folded & people lost their jobs, the job market changed & people worked from home - Prices went up considerably which made it much harder for some people to get by & many could not make it - I feel that it is remarkable that The River Tap & Grill has done as well as any restaurant out there - Kudos to the owners, the staff & to all the others who have made this possible -“

“Beautiful location and delicious food!“

“Fabulous food and wonderful staff. So glad we found this place when we were in the area.“

“We’ve been in ME for three nights and Bentley’s was the best experience so far!!! The prime rib dinner was perfect, wings and lobster too! The 🦞 was the best we’ve had so far this trip!! So so glad we stopped in to see what Bentley’s was all about… ~~ Grateful Central New Yorkers following up in Bentley Warren’s legacy!!!“

“Just returned from our first time in Old Orchard Beach and Birdie's was BY FAR our best meal there. This is REAL home cookin'. Homemade iced tea, mashed potatoes that taste like your momma made 'em and a lovely and attentive server named Jody(?) that made us feel very taken care of. No frills or ocean views, but I'm shocked that this place doesn't have better reviews. I regret not having every meal there.“

“This little hole in the wall restaurant was a great surprise. It's a short walk from the main area of OOB and is located right on the beach. The tables are literally set in the sand. Beyond that is dune grass and the ocean. I had the best tacos in my life! They featured cole slaw, pulled chicken and sweet Thai chili sauce. Delicious!“

“Was ok. The potato bun was yummy! Presentation really cute! But the veggie burger had no flavor..had with the elevation sauce, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato for extra flavor, I guess I had too much hope. But indeed hit the spot!! ☺️“

“Nonesuch has been one of our favorite sports since it opened. This evening we had a party of 12 for my son’s 8th birthday (his choice of location). Even though they don’t take reservations, we called ahead on Thursday to let them know we would have a big group coming. We waited just a couple of minutes for the table, our food and drinks were amazing and the service was fantastic. We have some particular eaters in our party and all were very happy. This experience made me love Nonesuch that much more as I can fully appreciate that serving a big group this well is not easy! Thank you to our server and the team tonight!“

“This was our fourth time staying at the Nonantum Resort, and each visit has delivered the same amazing experience that keeps us coming back. The view from our room overlooking the water and the boats is absolutely picturesque. The staff truly go above and beyond. They make you feel like part of the family, and their customer service is consistently warm and welcoming. We were once again pleasantly surprised by how good the food is at the onsite restaurant. The breakfasts in particular are incredible—fresh, hearty, and delicious. This time, we rented bikes and cruised around Kennebunkport, which we highly recommend to anyone visiting. It was a fun and relaxing way to explore the area. Nonantum has become one of our all-time favorite places to stay. We highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Kennebunkport.“

“Very cool seafood shack on the water with a fresh seafood market and counter bar. Servers were all super friendly. Clams and shrimp were super tender and their chowder is fantastic too. Even on a semi cloudy day in the 60s before beach season really hits it was still pretty full up so I'd recommend doing reservations if you're going to be here in the next few months on weekends. Will definitely return on our next trip to OOB.“

“Go elsewhere. Way overpriced for food that is not good. The service is subpar and look up past Health violations and other violations.“

“Had a fabulous time with my friend. Food was hot and delicious and received in a timely manner. Waitress was informative and friendly, quick, funny, and kept the drinks full while balancing many tables as the place was booming for lunch. Kudos to the kitchen too for making our food the way it was ordered and they also kept up with the pace. Means there was great teamwork amongst the staff and I will definitely be going back. Thank you to all.“

“I have going to Lucky loggers for 30+ years . They have the Friendliest waitresses in town along with the best breakfast in town.“

“In OOB for a quick getaway with my two kids. Stopped here for breakfast both days. The food was on point, kids loved the French toast and chocolate chip pancakes. But the service Marley gave us is what really stood out. She made my kids and I feel right at home.“

“Mediterranean salad with salmon was delicious and vegetables were very fresh,

Bufffalo tenders were a bit mushy but still tasted good.

Server seemed off put when I asked her to wipe down the dirty table upon sitting down.“

“I love this place so much“

“It's definitely a dive bar, but it has a wonderful view of the beach. Fast and courteous service. The food was plentiful and delicious. Worth the money. Get the Tex Mex nachos. You won't be disappointed. Alcoholic beverage was strong and delicious.“

“What a great find! Booked a table after reading the reviews. The meal was perfect, the new to us cocktail was potent and delicious, the servers were amazing, the owner was gracious. Thank you Barb, Dot and Dawn. We will be returning next year at the same time to celebrate my 70th!! Seems it will only allow 1 picture.“

“Was invited to go for lunch. Sat outside by the river😊 Had the prime rib tacos w/veg special and a brew. Our waitress Elle was a delight 🥳 My friend and I Loved our visit and the meal was delicious“

“Awesome place to grab breakfast“

“Wake up. Your orange pedophile criminal facist president is the reason not the weather!! ZERO star rating“

“Food came out quickly. Waitress was efficient. The nachos were really good and the Key Lime Pie dessert martini was delicious. Bathrooms needed cleaning, both men and women's were kind of gross. Women's was super sticky floors and I saw a few bugs on the floor in both bathroom and main dining area.“

“Two thumbs up � � great service, great food!!“

“Have been a happy customer of Ken’s place for over 55 years. The employees, ever so busy they always great you with a smile and ask how they can help you.The servings are displayed perfectly. The seafoods are absolutely delicious. My favorite are a pint of fried clams .1/2 in crumbs and 1/2 in batter. We try to make it there every week or so. We bring anyone that is from out of town there to enjoy the best of Maine. You realize most of these dedicated owners and employees work 12hour days 7 days a week. So even though it’s never asked for a tip when ordering is a way to thank them in advance. See ya Friday.“

“ordered the whole clam belly basket today...was no bellies. actually looked lime mixture of calamari rings and very thin strips of clams..asked waitresses if I was given clam strips buy mistake she went to ask someone became back and said the calm bellies were just small...ummm... No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“It's a great dive bar. As a bartender from a land far away in the western lands of Colorado.. this place made me feel at home. If you don't like your drinks strong or served with some sass, stay around the pier and expect paying 3X the price for a fake smile and the same shot. Personally, I tip good for strong drinks and service that's direct. Best bar in Old Orchard.

Vegetarian options: Jameson is not made from meat

“I come specifically to Old Orchard Beach every year just to eat at The Bell Buoy. They serve the best seafood and are very closely located to the pier and beach. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the lobster is a huge selling point. Friendly staff, great food, good service, and a mere walking distance from many of the other attractions. I cannot recommend this place enough, and hope it remains open forever.“
