Spinneys Oceanfront Restaurant

Don't waste your time looking for a bathroom here. I guess they want us to drive miles and miles away to relieve ourselves.

Had the $17 pizza. It was made with a frozen crust that look like it came from a grocery store, but that would’ve probably tasted better than the piece of cardboard that we had for dinner. The chicken wings were frozen pre-battered wings from a bag like Tyson wings. They were gummy, and they drenched them and some other type of bottled cheap sauce to try to hide the flavor. Of course they served it with a side of cheap bottled ranch dressing. They did not even have brewed tea. Even their tea was instant. Please don’t eat at this place. A complete rip off and tourist trap for people going to the state park.

This was a wonderful accidental discovery, and exceeded every expectation.

As a general life hack: when you stumble upon any sea shanty restaurant, always get a cup of their clam chowder to start. In the 20 years I've been applying this rule, I've never been disappointed. Such was my starter at Spinneys. Blackened haddock tacos and two bloody marys rounded out lunch, and y'all... the homemade (literally made by Trish, whose store front is down the street), locally sourced Maine blueberry pie is phenomenal. Their servers are very friendly and knowledgeable, you'll feel right at home chilling at the bar and staring out at the waves.

You'll leave very full (and also a little buzzed, if you're doing it right). But a 40 minute walk back to your car parked in the Popham Beach lot, soaking up beach sunshine and ocean breezes will make all the calories worth it.

If you're in the area, you most certainly need to visit this local gem. Also check out Trish's pie store if you feel like driving.

If it's busy they will deny you takeout, but understandable as they do get slammed! Awesome food, fish tacos are to die for!

Food is tasty, add on meat is tiny for the price. The view is spectacular. We got unlucky with our sever. She left and went on break sat in front of us on the beach. All while we had our finished meal in front of us.

Lovely location, good food and pleasant service. Don’t be put off by negative reviews- it’s worth a stop.

Very nice place — good food reasonably priced, nice people, beautiful setting. They are under new ownership and a lot of the poor reviews are about the previous regime. We’ll be back!

Excellent servers, charming waterfront ambiance. We ordered the haddock tacos and caprese salad...all is fantastic, especially after a day at Popham Beach!!! New owners. Very pleased with the experience.

Lauren was an amazing waitress and the food was outstanding! We’re from NC and had never eaten Lobster before, so Lauren coached us through the experience . She took multiple pictures for our 40th anniversary trip. We sat outside and even saw a seal peak his head out of the water. It was an unbelievable evening! Thank you Lauren and thank you Spinneys!

I was prepared for mediocre food in a gorgeous setting, feeling like maybe this spot was a tourist trap, but we were pleasantly surprised at the delicious clam chowder, caprese, and blackened haddock! (Highly recommend the haddock.) The staff was so personable and friendly. We’d definitely go back!
