“We live on Cape Cod, but we travel up to Ogunquit area a few times each year and it’s never ever a trip until we get to Billy‘s chowder House. It’s awesome. Love the food, friendly atmosphere just a blast to be there not to mention the rum punch.“

“Great service and food! They are serving breakfast now too! So good!!“

“Amazing! The seafood is as fresh as fresh can be. And beyond delicious! The service is wonderful! Worth driving about 20 minutes up the road from Kittery (😉).“

“Absolutely everything❤⚪💙!!! Ate inside for the first time...Super cute, and filled with all kinds of interesting sports memorabilia.. We had all the apps..Thai brussels sprouts, onion strings, crabcakes..The were super busy but the staff was calm, efficient, and friendly.. Our server, Stephanie, was awesome!! Highly recommended😊😊“

“Doing it right and maintaining classic traditions. One visit and we were hooked! Keep going and know your efforts are appreciated! Great food, attitude and atmosphere that should be preserved. God Bless the Maine Diner!!!“

“This is a hidden gem and I’m so grateful to have found it. I got the Monstah Lobstah roll and it certainly lived up to its name. It was so big that I was able to bring half home to eat at a later time. We will definitely be back and hopefully Caitlin will be our waitress again… a super nice young lady. The food is delicious and the staff very accommodating.“

“Loved the experience, the salad bar brought back 1970's nostalgia. Perfect!“

“Just went for cocktails and bites from the Veranda menu. It was pretty windy outside, so they let us sit in the living room. But we still had an incredible view of the ocean at sunset! The drinks and food were amazing. I loved the Thyme 75 and the deviled eggs (perfect smokey paprika and crispy shallots). It was quiet and not crowded during the off-season. The service was perfect. Attentive and kind, but let us enjoy our quiet time with the waves. We will definitely be back!“

“Impressive! I will be recommending this place to all my guests. I could not believe how much lobster was in this. It came with a fork and I can see why. You don’t want to miss this stop if you’re looking for the best lobster roll in Ogunquit!“

“Fine quality food, especially the lobster roll. Very good service and scenic location“

“We had an amazing experience yet again at Alisson’s and thank you to Paula who checked in and on us often. Never was there a beat missed in her wait w us and the food - amazing as always. Alisson’s is our must go to everytime we are in Kennebunkport. We will be back this August. Thanks also to the hostess team who made sure we were sat well before our wait time. What a great day!“

“This was our first time here in 8 years since it changed from Maxwell’s to Pepper’s. Maxwell’s was a place we visited frequently when in Ogunquit, and we even had my 50th birthday there. We were very apprehensive about going to Pepper’s, and we did not know what to expect! Wow and cool were the first 2 words I thought of when we entered! The place we came to know and love changed, but it was a great change with an awesome bar! Then, we had some drinks, an appetizer, and then our food came. All of it was great, and all the servers and bartenders are wonderful! We definitely recommend the Firecracker Shrimp and Calamari for appetizers, and the whole belly clams and teriyaki tuna for main courses! Everything was fresh and delicious! We are looking forward to our next trip to Ogunquit, and Pepper’s will definitely be on our dining list!“

“My family and I love Cape Neddick Lobster pound. We always have 3-5 children with us everytime we go, the kids love getting their kids meals in a cute boat and at the end of the meal the children can pick a prize out of their treasure chest!!! The high ceilings and large windows make for the best views with Super cozy vibes in the winter! Always super clean, staff is always so nice and very attentive! Every meal we had our food comes out perfectly with 0 complaints! Some of our favorites are the warm pretzels, the mussels, Caesar salad with steak, and my absolute favorite is the seafood pasta! 10/10 !!“

“Had an awesome dinner here. Great cocktails. Started with the salmon rillette which was a refreshing light bite. I had the lobster vol au vent and my husband the pollock Wellington, both delicious. Desserts were great, definitely worth the stop!“

“Got introduced to “That Place” by Friends last night for my Birthday 🥳 We had dinner there and I am so very happy that we did…the food was excellent and of high quality! We had several different appetizers and 3 main meals, and dessert…everything was absolutely delicious and the service was great as well 😊 Can highly recommend “That Place” you will not be disappointed, I guarantee you will love it 😍“

“This is our second time staying at the hotel and eating at Surf 360. I love the staff. When reading past reviews that are negative about the staff, I honestly think they might be the rude type never happy. If you see a reviewer that always complains about staff it usually has nothing to do with the restaurant. The many staff I've met are accommodating, knowledgeable about the menu, and make you feel comfortable. Last night there was a gentleman at the bar where I ordered food and drinks. He was very nice when serving others before me. When I ordered we engaged in a funny conversation and he was quick with service. Today I just went over and there were 2 ladies working. Both were so sweet and helped me immediately.
The quality of food depends of what you order. My husband said the fish tacos were some of the best! Our son loved the chicken tenders and I concur. The crab cake was the only thing that didn't taste good. Hopefully they will try new recipes in the future. Macaroni and cheese was hot and delicious. Overall I highly recommend.“

“My husband and I drive 1 1/2 to eat here! Last night was super busy and I’ve got to tell you. The wait is worth it! Our food was amazing and quickly served to us!! The mussels are the BESt! No one prepares them as good as your place . Thank you from Parsonsfield, me!“

“The Pilot House came in a very close second to Mabel’s Lobster Claw — and that says a lot! The food here is absolutely delicious. I had the lobster roll with clam chowder, and both were incredible — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My husband ordered the baked crusted haddock and loved every bite, and my mother-in-law had the fish tacos, which were just as good.

The atmosphere has that classic small-town coastal feel — casual, welcoming, and full of local charm. What makes it even better is the history tied to this place. The building originally stood as part of Kennebunkport’s old railroad era and was later turned around on its lot in the 1970s. It sits beside the Spirit of Massachusetts, a 19th-century schooner that nods to the town’s rich maritime past. Between the amazing food, friendly service, and a little piece of local history, The Pilot House is a spot we’ll absolutely return to. Five stars all the way!“

“Very belated review - I was in Maine with friends for a wedding in Oct of 2024. None of us are from coastal areas, so we were excited to try some seafood that would be fresh and this little place was one of our stops!

I don't remember what everyone else ordered, nor can I speak for them - but I got their coconut shrimp and was AMAZED! They were by far, the most delicious shrimp I have ever eaten. Cooked to perfection, breaded just right, and melted in my mouth. If you have the chance to try them - please do! I live across the country and still think about them and wish I could get more.“

“Love the vibe! Great drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“Food came super quick and was amazing !! 5 ⭐️“

“We make reservations for our guests at The Tiller Restaurant frequently as the views and menu are perfect for every romantic get away, highly recommend!“
