50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Old Orchard Beach

“This is the most efficient ice cream shop I've ever been too. There were probably about a dozen employees or so who were quickly taking and making orders. There are several walk up windows with separate lines. They also have a well designed drive thru window which reminded me of a chic fil a drive thru. They had a very friendly employee walking outside with a tablet who went from car to car taking orders and payments as you were waiting in line, then you drive to the pickup window to get your order. It was very busy around 8:30pm when I went and the drive thru line was so fast despite several cars being in front of me. I ordered a large dugout sundae with oreo and coffee oreo ice cream. It was excellent and a reasonable price for the size of the portion. I will definitely be back the next time I'm craving ice cream.“

“So delicious!! Four of us went, we had the Maine lobster roll, crab roll, burger and fried lobster roll and all were delish!“

“After reading a mix of positive and negative reviews, we decided to give Tiki Bar a try ourselves. The food was excellent! But the biggest surprise was the service. In a busy, seat-yourself restaurant, it would be easy for things to fall through the cracks, we saw two women working an entire patio and they didn’t miss.

Anna was our server, and she was exceptional. She offered great recommendations, drinks never empty, and even noticed when my child’s water needed to be refilled. A couple next to us had a complaint about a dish and it was handled flawlessly.

While the food was very good (get the mussels and the haddock sandwich) the standout part of the experience was the service and the atmosphere. It was genuinely impressive to watch. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I expected great coffee and got it, but the biscuits and scones were delicious- even better than my own homemade.“

“We had such a delicious meal at Scales! Everything was presented beautifully and tasted excellent. Service was on-point and the atmosphere is super chic. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone in the Portland area!“

“Impossibly wonderful food and vibe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best breakfast I have ever had, and I own a breakfast restaurant 😂 Super friendly staff, well worth the wait ! If you don't try the hollandaise I will question all your life decisions. Blueberry Fleur Mimosa ... 12/10! Try this spot if you're in the area, we will travel back 3 hours just for brunch !“

“Oysters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lobster roll, service and drinks all a must try. Can not wait to return to Maine to revisit.“

“We totally enjoyed our first visit to Luke’s. There were 4 of us. The service was quick, the food was delicious, the vibe was somewhat key west and the staff were so great!! Definitely returning. Thank you“

“Delightfully intimate restaurant with friendly and knowledgeable servers. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the amazing bartender and oyster shucker working hard to get everything out. Highlights were the baby gem salad, grilled octopus and linguine with clams.“

“Higher Grounds is the coolest store ever. My husband and I stopped in twice during our Portland stay from out of town. We bought a variety of THC products and found the prices reasonable and quality to be exceptional. It’s a calm and ambiant place free from judgement. Everyone we spoke to was super kind and helpful!“

“Service, food, beer .. all five stars. A must visit if you’re in Maine!“

“I am the kind of person who scoffed at vanilla ice cream. I thought it was boring, plain, blah. So when I went to Zephyr Ice I had planned to ask if I could just get the shaved ice— no ice cream. I am so glad I didn’t do that. This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted, and the shaved ice of course was flawless. I can’t go often because of the distance, but whenever I do find myself near Portland, I dream of this place.“

“Absolutely exceptional experience for any foodie out there. Started off with the cherry sour cocktail which was spectacularly balanced - dry, sour, with the right amount of zing. The tuna crudo and scallop were truly stand out from the raw bar, the cabbage salad was flavorful with not too much dressing. For mains, the halibut and the smash burger were absolutely to die for. The halibut and a Marsala wine sauce and was perfectly crisped. The burger is cheese and delectable with triple fried fries, but also portioned such that it wasn’t overwhelming. This is NYC level food delivered in an incredible Portland vibe - everyone is friendly, welcoming, the restaurant itself is romantic and intimate. Would choose this dinner 1,000 times over.“

“An unpretentious, low-key German restaurant that lives up to the hype . Delicious , real deal German food ..just like your oma would make !“

“Meilleur oatmeal EVER parfait petit café🤘🏼“

“We ordered a variety of sandwiches and salads for my daughter’s graduation party yesterday. Everything was so good. So many people commented on the delicious food! Thanks so much!“

“I always enjoy stopping in when I’m in the Portland area! Only place with other options besides the ol run of the mill lobster with butter or mayo. Delicious!“

“This place is amazing. Very LGBTQ friendly, and wonderfully nice management.“

“Oh My God what a gem this place is! First off when you walk in it smells incredible. I had the Godmother grilled cheese. It was so good I couldn't hold a conversation......or maybe it was their margaritas!! Anyway the sandwich was unbelievable and the "secret sauce" on the side for dipping is something I didn't think I needed but ended up wanting to be buried in!“

“Who doesn't love an old school ice cream place with a line of 20 people waiting on a Saturday night?!?

Sign me up. Husband is a Cookie Monster so, after dinner somewhere else, he found this spot and drove us here to satisfy the sweet tooth.

When we saw the line of people and bustling parking lot, we knew we were onto something.

Fortunately, the menu isn't that large or complex so it moves quickly and we waited probably 10 minutes if that.

We tried an old school vanilla hot fudge sundae with nuts and whipped cream (me) and my husband got the chocolate brownie soft serve and absolutely loved it as well.“

“Sweet girls and fantastic coffee!“

“Quality is absolutely top notch, really fantastic flavors. What makes Sweetcream really special is the service, I'm left with the impression that everyone who works there really likes their job and it shows in the super friendly way they treat their guests. My favorite spot in the Saco/Biddeford area hands down“

“Best Gelato I’ve ever had! I’ve been to a few different places but none even compare. I had the Hazelnut and Sea Salt Caramel and they were mouth watering. My bf had Maine Wild Blueberry and Oreo and we almost went back for more that night! Eagerly waiting for Boston Creme to come back so I can try it!!“

“Excellent food . The kindest and most helpful staff. Best new contribution to Knightsville. YES ALL THE WAY….. .“

“Warm welcoming staff, happy regulars, creative events, top notch dedication to their draft list pouring from clean lines and glassware, passionate owners who are present and make food from scratch. A true Portland gem!“

“The lobster roll was great, as was the lobster grilled cheese.“

“Antony was our waiter this evening and he was great! He was running the house as the only waiter, bar tender, and maybe even cooked our dinners! The food was excellent and our waiter made our our visit to Pattaya really enjoyable! ❤️“

“Best food I ate in Portland all week (including upscale places) was the lobster bisque from Chef Ryan. Oysters were GREAT as well. Family friendly. Chef Ryan’s whole menu was top notch and the kitchen staff was so nice. Ty came up and offered to give my young kids a lobster lesson over FaceTime (was here for work). Lizzy was excellent at the bar for our group. Ashley was amazing and welcoming to our group. Couldn’t recommend more. But def order the menu items and not just the lobster!“

“We stopped in while on vacation to do some market research, as we work at a cidery/brewery. The selection was outstanding. I stuck to the sours (the orange soda was a fave) but the stouts were top notch as well!! A very relaxed atmosphere and great ambiance. Week will definitely be back!“

“very good food and adorable place inside! Very nicely sized portions and overall GREAT food! and the ladies in there seemed very upbeat and happy!“

“Great ice cream, Great prices and great service 🤩“

“Awesome place! We went for the first time yesterday, and we were not disappointed with the food and drinks! The 🦞 roll was one of the best that we’ve had. We ordered a cheese plate and oysters as well, and they were both delicious. Hidden gem tucked away in the Old Port! We will definitely be back again.“

“We wandered in today and sat at the bar. We were so impressed with both the service and the food. The bartender was cordial, friendly, and extremely attentive. We had a flatbread that was absolutely delicious and chicken, bacon ranch salad with house made ranch that was exceptional. Closer than any. We don’t have a flatbread company near our home sure wish we did.“

“Very efficient and speedy delivery - a whole 9lbs Maine tuna toro. Is this skin side up or belly side up?“

“We love everything on the menu, fresh and so delicious. We will see you in ten minutes“

“first time there this morning i ordered a pineapple muffin it was fantastic service was also great while i waited for a taxi too go home i definately will be back“

“Food is always amazing here. It’s a must“

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

“everytime I come to Portland I try new restaurants and this place definitely is one of my favorites so far! great on a cold day“

“Great fish market that is worth the trip to Commercial St. They will cut it for you to the amount you want. Fish is always fresh. And their prices are reasonable“

“This place rocks and I had the best $11 lunch. The puffy avo and shrimp tacos are my favorite. I went early and it wasn’t busy so I was able to get a little solo work lunch in and the server Luis was SO nice and welcoming. I also didn’t realize the have a kids changing table in the bathroom and most places in Portland aren’t kid friendly so I think I’ll come back with my kids soon because I’m already hungry for another taco and a happy upbeat welcoming atmosphere.“

“A delightful neighborhood gem! Hank has worked very hard on renovating the old Spurwink Country Kitchen into a bright and modern space with a lovely deck and patio. I'd eaten here multiple times for lunch last year and now he's added breakfast. The food is all homemade and excellent. I've enjoyed the prepared foods to go as well. Try the meatballs and kale & arugula pesto on your sammie.“

“oh my goodness this is the best seafood in town“

“Last year I stopped by this Cafe on the way back home, I tried a pistachio raised donut and it stole my heart. the vibes at this restaurant are so sweet and nothing but Mainer. Slow and sweet, colorful and flavorful. Everytime I'm in the area I'll be sure to re-visit! 10⭐️“

“If I had those stars to give, I would give Ribollita at least 1 star: It was just that good! ⭐️⭐️ The chef makes his own pasta. The dishes are perfectly done. The sauces are perfectly prepared. When I asked if the chef could add a garnish of pine nuts to the Fettuccine Alfredo and spinach, he obliged me and toasted them perfectly. You will be glad you had dinner at Ribollita's when you visit this restaurant!“

“Had absolutely an amazing experience at N to Tail Restaurant today! From delicious food to drinks and exceptional service—we will absolutely be back! Thank you!“

“Very cool place to grab some great beers! Definitely stop in if you get the chance. We loved the sours on tap (Frusch!)“

“We recently had two visits. My first meal of fried clams-delicious. On our second visit we had a lobster roll. Stay away from them. Absolutely awful. I’m a Maine gal and this was the worst lobster roll ever. Sterns- you can do better, especially at 38$ !!“
