18 Best American Restaurants in Old Orchard Beach

“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.“

“délicieux , accueillant, jus d'orange frais pressé juste parfait!“

“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!“

“10/10 loved it. good food amazing staff“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

“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.“

“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.

“Hands down the best food spot by the beach. Ive been coming here every summer for 28 years, and Ramunnos holds a special spot in my heart. I enjoy seeing the same family operating this business since I was a kid! The food is excellent, consistent and best bang for your buck here. Excellent burgers, pizza, mile long franks & more! If you want to experience the most traditional OOB summer food then you must stop here. To me its an OOB landmark“

“Fantastic place in OOB to have a bite to eat. George, our server, was spot on with recommendations for drinks and ranch for the Cajun fries. We will definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Our 12 year old was able to build her own burger and order a fun, frozen lemonade slushy.“

“Nicely done.

We were greeted by a young lady (too young to mention her name) with sweet, sweet answers to our questions as we were walking by.

We decided to go for it.

Ordered the twin tail lobster.
Good Lob, Good Corn, Good Bread, Good Slaw.

Great place to have a very good meal on a picinic table.

We will be back.

Highly recommend.

Best place on the "strip".“

“Best service ever! Went in and was welcomed in! Everything from the service to the drinks and were were so good! The salmon and the steak tips we got were so amazing if you want perfectly cooked food this is where to go!!!!“

“My mom and I stopped in last evening for the first time. Lakeya was SO nice! Super friendly and helpful. Our drinks were great. The wings were amazing. I am originally from Massachusetts and have been in Maine for 25 years and have not found pizza that was better than just ok…until now! If I could have eaten more I would have. We will definitely be back. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Just a great.place to chill out, from the warm, friendly people who make up the staff to the delicious food and drink, it's the only pub I'll be frequenting this summer. Oh! And $2 domestics from 5-8 is welcome relief to my wallet.“

“Great restaurant by the beach. Awesome food with a great variety in their menu. Recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I recommend getting the fried whole belly clams. They were wonderful. Loved the bucket special as well!“
