13 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.“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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!“

“5star but have never been. For owner, why can't you say loss of Canadian tourism is because of donald's threat to annex Canada by economic force? the insult of calling our them PM gov. of his 51st state? The letter to western Canada on how to become part of the US from your Sen. joe martin? Many of us will still boycott even after they are gone. But do hope you do well with w/e you voted for.“

“Big Daddy’s has the best food, staff and atmosphere. I could go on and on….but there’s no need to. Simply the BEST! Never had a bad meal, drink or bad experience.“

“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.“

“Best homemade clam cakes around!“

“☺️ Great place to stop before the beach!“

“Decent place for dinner. Nice, fun patio and love music. The ahi tuna App was good but would have been perfect if it wasn’t drenched in so much sauce. I got the Cajun fish tacos and they were way too seasoned and salty I could not finish them. Also they were kinda made upside down which made them hard to eat. There was slaw on the bottom, then fish then salsa. I switched to put the fish on the bottom. Easier to eat. My husband got the steak tips they were great and the mashed potatoes without the sauce. We don’t like sauce on our steak. Service was good too.“

“Great food, great service!
The pulled pork nachos are my favorite thing I've had so far!
We went in with a large group and everyone's food came out hot at the same time. The wait staff were all super helpful and patient with a large group and kept the table cleared of dishes at every chance.
We will definitely be back!“

“My girlfriend and I popped into OOB for a long weekend off season and GFB was the place to be. Live open mic blues night rocked our socks off with some serious talent including the likes of renowned guitarist Mike Hayward. Megs behind the bar remembered our drinks immediately and treated us with the best service around. The owners sat at the bar and we chatted music and fun stories of our pasts. We even stumbled in the following night for karaoke! Definitely the best dive in OOB!“
