“Absolutely loved the vibe, service, and food. Our server was on his very first day and his coworker was so helpful to him in answering our questions. Their teamwork was great. We sat upstairs at lunchtime and the vibe and decor, including fish shaped water bottles, was perfect as were the views.

We were a table of 4 and all the food was great including coconut shrimp, chowder, fried fish sandwich, baked haddock, and more. We didn’t have drinks but we could see delicious cocktails being served at the bar. We will definitely plan to come back here again and again!

The location in Kennebunkport is near everything including whale watching tours and kitschy shopping.“

Each delectable course was delivered by a staff of culinary service professionals who were pleasant, answered our questions, and made our first visit to Ocean memorable. Intimate, water view dining should always be this wonderful.“

“We had an amazing experience yet again at Alisson’s and thank you to Paula who checked in and on us often. Never was there a beat missed in her wait w us and the food - amazing as always. Alisson’s is our must go to everytime we are in Kennebunkport. We will be back this August. Thanks also to the hostess team who made sure we were sat well before our wait time. What a great day!“

“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!“

“the food, the scallops and their corn“

“Hands down the best seafood I’ve had in Maine, and I’ve eaten at plenty of places up and down the coast. Everything that came out of that kitchen tasted like it had been pulled from the water that morning. Even the simple sides were done right.

Our server Andy was great. He was very friendly to us and very attentive. The kind of service that’s harder to find than people think. We’ll be back.“

“I'm a big fan of fried seafood the way they prepare it in the New England region

Monday May 18th 5:00
A gentleman at a convenience store told be about Brown' s when I asked where I could find the best seafood shack. Boy was he right on the money with this place!!! Wow!!

I wish I could remember her name to credit her, but I was greeted by the most polite and kind young lady who took my order. I asked a few questions and she wound up explaining to me that they had a platter where you could get four types of seafood which I ordered. It included haddock, shrimp, scallop and fried clam strips. The onion rings were great. The food was EXCEPTIONAL. . Everything was so fresh and I've never seen such big plump fried clam strips in my life. This was the best fried food experience of my life in all the years that I've been to New England, including sit down restaurants.

if you want great seafood and you're in the Perkins Cove area run, don't walk to this place and have the best seafood experience you can ask for with friendly efficient service. Home Run.“

“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!“

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

“The Surf Point 360 is located on the property of the Anchorage By the Sea Motel. Beautiful view of the ocean. Nice menu and food service. We were there for lunch, and it is a nice setting, very relaxed. The service was good as was the food. My fish tacos were different from most as it was haddock and the greens on top were also different, almost delicate and offered a nice complement to the fish, very mild onion, a few sprigs of carrot and other greens I can't identify but added nicely. Very nice experience and very handy both to the ocean and to the motel. We were able to finish lunch and then take a walk on the walk called Marginal Way. Excellent way to have lunch and then take a stroll!“

“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.“

“Absolutely everything❤⚪💙!!! Ate inside for the first time...Super cute, and filled with all kinds of interesting sports memorabilia.. We had all the apps..Thai brussels sprouts, onion strings, crabcakes..The were super busy but the staff was calm, efficient, and friendly.. Our server, Stephanie, was awesome!! Highly recommended😊😊“

“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!“

“Best food in town 10 of 10“

“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 😅“

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

“During our four-night stay at The Tides Beach Club, we found ourselves irresistibly drawn back to their restaurant, not once, but twice, a testament in itself to its magnetic charm.

On both evenings, we were attended by Ruel, whose service embodied the art of hospitality: attentive without intrusion, polished yet warmly personable. His grace and professionalism elevated the dining experience to something truly memorable.

The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional, each plate thoughtfully composed, balancing coastal freshness with refined execution. Cocktails were crafted with precision, showcasing top-shelf ingredients and a deft hand behind the bar.

Set against the serene backdrop of the seaside, the restaurant invites lingering conversation and quiet indulgence. The Tides Beach Club Restaurant is not merely a hotel dining option, it’s a destination unto itself, and one well worth savoring.“

“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!“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“The food is exquisite. My husband and I went two days in a row and brought friends with us. The service is excellent even during the busy times. Alesia was attentive, professional and welcoming. Thank you to all who work hard to make this restaurant what it is. Plan to return when we visit Ogunquit again.“
