The view from the dining room and location is the draw here! Nestled in Perkins Cove, this nugget is one of Ogunquit's gems. Good food and nice variety. Even if just for drinks on a rainy day, the view is worth it.

Best view and great food! We love the rum punch as well as the beautiful upper patio! A must for tourists!!

Good location with beautiful views. The main (no pun intended) issue with Ogunquit is finding parking because lots fill up during peak visit season. But if you come to get lunch, you can park. Tried the lobster mac and ordered an appetizer sized fried clam basket. Portion was large for an appetizer for the seafood basket so it was a good choice. Lobster mac was heavy and had good texture with the panko topping but was lacking salt and was not super generous on the lobster. The dish was okay. Both dishes were able to feed two well and the prices were fair for the seafood baskets. Staff was nice and the parking is valet/tip-based. We were able to enter the lot as part of the restaurant and were then able to explore the Marginal way and take our time without worrying about returning to metered parking.

I first need to state that the regular Barnacle Billy’s was closed for the season and that this review relates to Barnacle Billy’s Etc, next door. We had arrived in Ogunquit shortly before dinner and wanted something quick. We found the takeout menu and this was perfect. Two Grilled Chicken Sandwiches (one with French fries, one with coleslaw) were our choices. We were not disappointed as the chicken was very moist and huge pieces too! My husband could not finish the French fries and did think that part was too much. The coleslaw was a good size. Without knowing the size of the chicken sandwiches we pre-ordered dessert: 1 Key Lime Pie and 1 Pumpkin Pie! I must admit we did finish both, but next time may split a slice of one pie. We had never eaten at this restaurant before, but will do so in the future. While waiting for our food, I looked around and decided it had a rustic air inside with views looking down onto Perkins Cove! Next time we will enjoy a meal either inside or on the deck in nice weather!

Had fried clams and scallops. The clams were average. Nothing bad, just not great. The scallops on the other hand, while having a nice flavor owing to the breaded crust and wine butter sauce were in my estimation probably artificial. The shape, texture, taste and smell were all off. The service was timely and efficient but I would not go back

Yuck. Lobster roll was the worst I’ve had. Tasted old and was skimpy. I’ve paid just as much other places and the bun was overflowing with FRESH lobster. Clam chowder was hot but where’s the clams? Mac n cheese was mac and cream. Where’s the cheese? We are so mad we picked this place. We’ve been eating our way down the coast for the past week and this was the worst. Stick to the lobster dinner and you should be fine. Anything that requires ingredients may be a gamble.

One of my favorite seafood/lobster joints in Southern Maine. The lobster is amazing, being in Perkins Cove , home to many lobstermen, it's no wonder it was a favorite of President George and Barbara Bush. The atmosphere is no nonsense and at times especially in the summer, the service can be somewhat rushed. Known not only for delicious lobster but they make a stellar rum punch. Parking is sometimes rough at peak times, there is a lot across the road for patrons.

The most disappointing lobster ever.. ordered 1.5 pound lobster.. the lobster inners were so small.. this lobster hasn't been fed for a long time..My wife's $26 tuna salad was so sad.. iceberg lettuce and plain Jane canned tuna-a true wrip-off. Our first And last visit to this tourist trap. NOT worth the $$
We go to Maine every year but this was our first visit to Perkins Cove. BEST lobster roll and lobster Mac and cheese we have ever had.

We shared the lobster salad for $50, definitely not worth it. Better deals on lobster abound. Good location.

The lobster roll was great. They offered both plain and with a dressing.

Oh my gosh. I live in TX but grew up in Maine. My family and I stay in Perkins Cove every year, and the first thing we do when we get there is to have our first lobster roll. The first of several. The baked Haddock is amazing, and we make several trips there to buy Whoopie Pies to take to our condo. We have been going there for years, and the place hasn't changed a bit.Parking: There is a paid parking lot across the street.
