11 Best Seafood 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.“

“WOW. Just WOW.

Woody’s Seafood Shack was hands down one of the best meals we had in Maine. Everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS. The seafood was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, generous portions, and every single bite was amazing. 🦞🦐

This is exactly what you hope to find when you come to Maine looking for great seafood — nothing pretentious, just ridiculously good food done RIGHT.

We kept tasting each other’s plates and saying, “Holy crap, this is SO good!” 😂 There honestly wasn’t one thing we wouldn’t order again.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service… Woody’s absolutely NAILED IT. If you’re anywhere near Old Orchard Beach, DO NOT SKIP THIS PLACE.

We’ll 100% be back next time we’re in Maine. 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

10/10 — worth every damn calorie. 🦞🔥“

“Delicious lobster roll and very nice people who cook fresh food! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reasonably priced meal!“

“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.“

“Our lobster rolls were fresh and delicious, and the service was great! The lady cooking was super nice and friendly. We’ll be back next year!“

“☺️ Great place to stop before the beach!“

“Best homemade clam cakes around!“

“It was a busy Wednesday night in OOB and lots of places had very long waits. We took our chances on Myst and they were able to seat our group of 7 on the deck within 5 minutes although they were busy too. The service was excellent, we had Kaitlyn (sorry if I’m spelling that wrong) who was very attentive, the food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. We have eaten at a few local spots and this was so far the best.“

“We've eaten at Rick's numerous times over the past 3 years and we've had delicious, fresh, haddock, scallops and clams every time!! The reason the atmosphere is a 5 star is because it's great to walk along the pier, grab food from Rick's, and then sit on the tables or benches along the center of the pier area. The fried food is cooked to perfection with a nice light colored batter suggesting they change their oil often. We recommend Rick's.“

“My family recently got takeout while on vacation! My husband went in for pick up and observed a clean spacious dining area while being greeted by friendly staff. We had a chicken tender basket; and the steak and cheese sub. Both cooked wonderfully and we left happy and full.“

“Fried chicken burger and hamburger where delicious. Our server was sweet but running around ragged. We had to wait quite a bit for everything. Live music was good. The outside chairs were a bit uncomfortable but the atmosphere made up for it.“
