13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Old Orchard Beach

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible! I stopped by Johnny Shucks Maine Lobster and was blown away by the quick, friendly service — they had my order ready in no time. But the real star? The lobster roll. Hands down the most tender, juicy, and flavorful lobster I’ve ever had. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and overflowing with sweet lobster meat. If you’re a seafood lover, this is the place you’ve been looking for. I’ll definitely be back — and bringing friends next time! 🦞🔥“

“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!“

No!! there was none! anyways .was charged for whole belly basket and that was that..will be trying other places next time .“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best homemade clam cakes around!“

“☺️ Great place to stop before the beach!“

“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.“
