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.

The Bell Buoy Restaurant is a classic American eatery with a nostalgic charm. It feels like a family-run local place, offering a comfortable atmosphere that makes guests feel at home. The menu features a 3-course meal option with various choices at a fixed price, providing good value. Popular dishes include the stuffed shrimp, which is buttery and rich, and the mariners stew, known for its fresh seafood and flavorful taste. The seafood stuffed haddock is moist, flavorful, and large, while the lobster stew, once a favorite, has received mixed reviews recently. Some guests have noted that the lobster bisque has not met their expectations on recent visits. The fried clams and lobster roll remain favorites, and many guests still enjoy the hot, fresh bread rolls served from the oven. The restaurant has an adorable bar and a quaint, inviting interior. Service is friendly and professional, with attentive staff that enhances the dining experience. One recent visitor praised the exceptional service, highlighting how a server went out of her way to help a child with an injury. Although some find the tables cramped and wait times can be long, many consider the Bell Buoy Restaurant a reliable and enjoyable spot for a casual, sit-down meal. Overall, it remains a beloved destination for families and those seeking a satisfying, relaxed dining experience.
