Surf 6 is a nautically themed bar and American grill that offers scenic ocean views and live music on the weekends. The seasonal spot features an actual lobster boat bow as its bar, providing both indoor and outdoor seating with oceanfront views. Guests can enjoy live music on the patio every night and during the day on weekends. The menu includes a variety of comfort food, and there's a full-service bar available.
This place is fantastic. We’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and this place is always the first place we go to for dinner when we first arrive. We also make it a point to come back again before we leave. I have a feeling we’ll make it 3 times this year. The food has always been spectacular. The mussels are by far the best we’ve ever had. We catch ourselves talking about the mussels often throughout the year until our next annual trip to Maine. This year was extra special due to the server (Michelle) we had our first night here. We decided to stop in again for dinner and specifically asked for her to be our server again. She’s extremely nice and took great care of us again. If we make it back for a 3rd time, we hope it’s a night Michelle is working. For anyone looking for great food, great atmosphere with live music, and very friendly waitstaff, I highly recommend Surf 6!!

I’m from Tampa, Florida, but while visiting my sister Liz in Maine, she treated me to what I can honestly say was one of the best experiences of my life! We dined at this incredible restaurant, and from the moment we sat down, we knew it was something special. Nick was our server—and wow, what a gem! His bright smile, fantastic sense of humor, and warm, engaging personality made the entire experience unforgettable. He was attentive without being overbearing and made us feel so welcomed and at ease. 🥰 And the food? Out of this world! I had the best lobster I’ve ever tasted—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a reminder of just how amazing this place is. Add to that a stunning beach view, and you’ve got a little slice of heaven. 🌅✨ If you’re ever in Maine and love seafood, breathtaking views, or simply want to make a memory you’ll cherish—come to Surf 6! And if you’re lucky enough to have Nick as your server, you’re in for a real treat. Thank you, Nick, for making our visit unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town for more amazing lobster—and to say hi to you! 🤩👋

Overall 4/5 Food 8/10 Quick and tasty but the portions were small I believe they would benefit from offering Oz sections (4,6,8) this would help alot. Service 9/10 Waitress was great and checked in at the right times also was attentive to what I requested. She was polite and also offered to take a photo of us Atmosphere 9/10 Right next to the beach, but the restaurant had shade and you could really enjoy the view. Price 9/10 solid cost and value lobster roll and salad were very tasty. Also good pricing way better than Boston.

The service here was above and beyond. Our waitress was very attentive the whole time. Our appraisers (calamari and bang bang shrimp) were both delicious. Would highly recommend both. Our baked haddock was a little dry and small considering the price. Looks bigger than it is because it was pretty thin and there were a ton of breadcrumbs all over it. It did come with a baked potato which was really good and a few asparagus which were average.
Jessica S — Google review
We only ordered a couple drinks and a few appetizers. We had the mussels calamari and a lobster roll. The lobster roll was good. The muscles were top-notch and if there was any issue, it was the calamari could’ve been a little more crisp and I think I got cocktail sauce rather than marinara with it, but all was good. I didn’t mind. Not sure why this place is only 3.7, because we have eaten at several places, including the Steakhouse, Billy‘s Chowder House, Hobbs, Sea Salt, Lobster, and this place was far beyond any of those. The service was the best part, the ladies they had working were great waitresses.
TD G — Google review
The atmosphere is great here, especially if you can sit on the deck and listen to music in the waves. The service was decent. However, I ordered chicken strips and fries and within three minutes I got my food. This was disappointing because the whole plate was like warm. I felt as I got a mistake order that had been sitting a while.

This would have gotten a four just based on the location overlooking the ocean. Last year, we came here twice and both times the food was outstanding. This time, we went away disappointed. I ordered the scallops and despite being very dark as though they were cooked too long, they were somewhat chewy, not what I got last year. My wife got a fish sandwich and it also gave the appearance of being overcooked. Maybe the oil needed to be changed? Went with my daughters and their families and they seemed pretty good with the food overall. One thing that Surf 6 does right is the drinks. They definitely don't go cheap on the alcohol! I would be willing to give it another try next year when we come back, but my wife is not so forgiving. There are a lot of decent restaurants in OOB and surrounding communities so that would factor into it as well. Our server was very good (sorry can't remember her name) but we've found all three times that your staff is very attentive and friendly.

A perfect day sitting on the ocean side deck at Surf 6. We both had burgers. Which were delicious. Everyone around us was ordering fish. I heard a customer complementing their dishes to the waitress. You won't be disappointed.

Ate off the lunch menu which I believe ends at 4pm. Food was fresh and hot. Wife had the chicken sandwich and chips and really enjoyed it. I had plain chicken wings and French fries that also came out fantastic. Lunch plates were from $15-$26. This restaurant also has a childrens menu which was nice around $8. Beautiful deck and the service was amazing. We sat out on the deck which had great views and live music. Great experience

Beach staple, next to the pier and right off the circle. Service was great food was good too, with a nice breeze and a spot outside to sip a cocktail I think you should try it at least once, chances are they’ll have something you like with a pretty varied drink and food menu.

Great experience overall! Our server was really friendly and super quick with taking our orders and checking in to make sure everything was good. The food was reasonably priced and tasted great. restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, with live music that was pleasant and at a good volume—perfect for eating and having a conversation.

Just had dinner with my girlfriend and her sister. We were greeted by our server within 5 minutes of being sat. She was very nice and helpful. The food came out tasting great and in a very timely manner. I spoke with one of the owners Matt who was walking around. He was very nice, personable and funny. Overall great experience. Would definitely come back and eat here again.
Andrew S — Google review
We had a delicious smash burger and a really good chicken sandwich with real mozzarella cheese and tasty sauce. Drinks were a martini (really good, but a bit on the sweet side) and a soda. Sitting on the deck in the sun with live music adds a charm but it can often also be difficult to have a conversation if the music is too loud. We were able to move seats a bit further away and enjoy. It's OOB pricing, but a good sit down meal when you want a step above the grab and go fare. I'd go again for lunch.

GF & I ate here for dinner, the restaurant was about half full. Plenty of staff on hand, yet it took nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged by our server who seemed more preoccupied with chatting with coworkers. Ordered a drink and appetizer, when the drinks came we ordered our entrees, and confirmed with the server that we wanted the appetizer first. After roughly 25 minutes of waiting for our single appetizer, our waitress instead brings out our entrees and informs us that there is a delay with the appetizer. Why would our entrees even be made before the appetizer when we specifically asked for the appetizer first? For my entree I ordered the fish tacos, which were mediocre. The haddock had no seasoning whatsoever in the batter, it was very bland… a little salt and pepper won’t kill anyone. The menu states “topped with slaw, scallion, and spicy aioli” what I got instead was pickled red cabbage, and diced red onion. The aioli was good, and was the only redeeming quality to the tacos. Positive: the obviously bagged/frozen sweet potato fries were decent All in all, we waited a long time in a restaurant that wasn’t that busy for overpriced food that wasn’t very good, and never received the appetizer we ordered. Find somewhere else to eat.

The pub features live music, foosball, pool, karaoke, and darts along with its own brews. With friendly staff and communal seating that encourages interaction among patrons, this open-concept pub provides a welcoming atmosphere.
We went in here while vacationing a couple weeks ago both Friday and Saturday night. The two different Bartenders we had were absolutely amazing and attentive. I can't say that for the Whaler as we weren't even acknowledged when we walked in that place and stood there for 10 minutes before walking out. I'm glad we stumbled upon this place instead. The band was also amazing Friday night. If I ever make it back this way I will definitely stop in !

I didn’t order food so I can’t rate it but the band that played here on a Saturday night was amazing and one of the bartenders was super sweet! Great, low-key bar in OOB. Jack - the old dog - was a plus!
Cess B — Google review
We visited this place during the winter off season, we walked over 20 minutes to get it it because every place was closed and there was not many bars or options around. We had no idea walking in that there would be a band playing that wasn't to bad at all. Also a birthday party with friendly people that gave us cupcakes, and very welcoming people all around. We could immediately tell it was a bar of locals, but we had fun and stayed all night. The bartender was friendly and I told her I'd try any good local craft beer, she introduced me to a man at the end of the bar who brewed a couple beers, so it sparked a few quick conversations with the bar folks. Seems like the bar has been here a long time with the decor, and some parts were cluttered with... stuff. I bet with a little work there could be more options for this place for entertainment, games, or many great options. Seems like a cool local pub.

First time in OOB. I was super excited to see a Scottish pub. The owner was super nice , the dog was the sweetest. Everything was going fine until the bartender was a complete jerk. He snapped at my friend and I a few times. A bar patron noticed and apologized. We ordered food and it did not taste good. The club was sweet and my friend said her fish and chips tasted like oil. After being snapped at again by the bartender we paid our tab and left. Also, a baby does not belong at the bar nor should be placed on the bar by the mother. Such a shame. Definitely not a Scottish pub.

An awesome little place with great atmosphere. The food came out in huge portions and was delicious, the Turkey Gobbler sandwich was exactly what I needed! Candy was really sweet and quick, and when we left we said bye to her and the gentleman from the kitchen. It was a fun place to chat, with the lights dim and the swirling blue over the ceiling. Hope to be back!

One of my favorite little local places to hang out and have a drink. It's a small place and cozy place that always feels welcoming. The food is consistent and tasty with rotating specials. Parking is not usually a problem as it is located within the Grand Beach Inn and there are plenty of spots. During the season alcohol can be purchased and brought back to room or the pool area which is definitely nice. Would recommend checking it out and grabbing a bloody Mary.

Wings, These Were... But Meatier and Less Charred I Have Known. Stopped by Bull and Brew Wings House for a midday refuel. The Force was calm—few patrons inside, which promised a swift bite. Service? Friendly and attentive the servers were, like seasoned Jedi younglings in training. Food arrived faster than a podracer on Tatooine. But alas... the chicken sandwich? Dry as the dunes of Jakku. Flavor, there was not. The wings? Some burned beyond recognition—sacrificed to the dark side. And for the price? Meatier, mightier wings I've encountered in taverns across the galaxy. Not a full descent into the Sarlacc pit, but not a high-flying experience either. 📌 Good for a quick stop 💸 Value for price? Debatable, it is 🐔 Wings, but not the chosen ones Until next time… may the sauces be with you.

The wings were 10/10 Steaks & Cheese Egg Rolls 10/10 And my kids said the Crab Rangoon’s were 8/10. The food was amazing! Our waitress wash such a sweetheart. Prices are high (understandable due to location) but we will be back! We are wings people and they by far have been the best around since we moved to the area.

After a long day at the beach my family (myself/wife/son/sons friend) along with my wife's brothers family(brother/wife/2 kids) decide to eat here for dinner. Not having a kids menu for the small ones was an issue, but we made it work in getting them something to eat. It was easier for my and and his friend as they got the flat bread pizza. The food and drinks for the most part were good and came in decent size portions. I think the biggest issue of the night was not being able to split up the check (which I would have been able to have done between my family andy brother in-law had we gone to a chain restaurant) and the automatic gratuity added to the bill. I'm sorry, tips are earned on service, and though our waitress was nice, the service was minimal on a non-busy Tuesday evening. What's worse, a party of 4 was told they couldn't do a split check, even though we were told a party of 6 or larger was the reason for that. Again, nice food and drinks. Just not a place I'll go to again.
Ricardo A — Google review
Here’s my take, it was an awesome country bar with good service… That being said… they should focus on that. Expand that business model, and minimize their menu to just Bar food. My fish sandwich was absolutely a frozen fried fish triangle from a grocery store that was noticeably smaller than the bun with little or no effort as it was placed on my bun with the saddest tomato next to wilted lettuce that I had to place on it. The tartar sauce is just a basic store-bought sauce that you have to peel to open. No homemade food here. Salad was a sad effort thrown together with no dressing provided and instead of fries they opt for chips that are also store-bought. Fries are an additional cost that we weren’t asked about as an option. The only thing going for it was the nachos are pretty good. Everything else was less than Applebee’s quality. I can’t believe that not one thing was homemade in there that we had. Our family of four paid roughly $118 before tip for store-bought food that I could’ve thrown together in 15 minutes at the house. If we ever go back, it’s gonna be for drinks and music only.

Ordered some wings to go while I had a drink. They brought me the wings over on a regular plate. Reminded them it was to go. They put it in a box. Handed it to me. No bag, no napkins. Nothing. Got it back to my hotel and they didn't even put covers on the sauces so they were spilled all over everything. The staff seemed annoyed to be there.

Fast food restaurant
Pier French Fries is a long-standing seasonal window-serve eatery that has been serving up delicious french fried potatoes, hot dogs, and fried dough for over 90 years. Despite enduring fires and storms, it was the Blizzard of 1978 that led to its relocation from the pier to Old Orchard Street. This historic dining icon offers a taste of tradition with its iconic menu items and continues to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
You can't stay in OOB and NOT get yourself some Pier Fries. It's just something you do. Pier Fries is in the heart of OOB so the atmosphere is alive and the epitome of beach side life. Crinkle cut fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're just perfect every time. They are cash only.
The F — Google review
Been eating these since I was a kid in the 80s, these are not the same fries. In fact, peeking out back, I can see they are frozen fries, but they used to be fresh cut. Will no longer eat these soggy disgusting fries. People reviewing these fries likely are relying on memories they had, like I did, and not realizing they’re not the same or just letting the hype inform their opinion of these fries, probably some fake reviews here too. I hope someone someday opens another fry stand and advertises them as fresh cut and put these cheap owners out of business. Shame to ruin a good thing like that..

Fries were soggy and most of the cup was bits and pieces, like it was the leftover bits and the bottom. Very disappointing, it was my first visit in many years, I have always remembered these as my favorite. They must have new owner's that don't care about the product or customer satisfaction. The price was reasonable if the product was as expected. Not planning a return visit, there are other places that sell fries...

I came on vacation from the Caribbean and visited OOB. The fries were the best fries I had eaten. The rest of my group came for the seafood. I’m not a seafood eater so found myself in line for 15 minutes to get these fries. But, worth the wait
Jamieson J — Google review
Close to the pier and downtown areas, in a very good spot. The fries here are very good, price has remained consistent for the years I've went to OOB and quality hasn't decreased. With only 2-4 windows open on a given day the wait can be lengthy at times, but there are benches to sit at and wait. Be mindful of the salt, I believe they use sea salt here as a member of my party one year had a reaction to it.
Xavier R — Google review
Crinkle cut for the win. I never thought I would say this but they do have the best french fries ever. I would take these all day over McDonald's. I would suggest getting the box. It acts as a good appetizer or snack for a family of four. Or if you know you and your partner are hungry you could knock out a big box. CASH ONLY!!

As for the calamari, it easily ranks in my top two of all time. If I had to choose between them in a side-by-side tasting, I honestly don’t know if I could — both are that good. If you're in a hurry, I’d recommend arriving early, but if not, just relax and soak it in. The wait is absolutely worth it.

A culinary gem in Old Orchard Beach. On 8/5/2025 I had an exceptional meal at Big Daddy's (typing the name makes me laugh). The chef designed the menu and the staff cooking it know flavor and food. The Cesar salad with white anchovies (far higher quality and less oil then others) were greatly appreciated. The Clam chowder was full of clam and had the prefect consistency and creaminess, not to liquid, not to fatty, just right. The mixed seafood in broth (it was a special, I forget what they called it) Flavors were balanced and perfect. Lobster tale 9/10, shrimp 10/10, muscles 10/10, calamari 10/10 white fish 10/10.... ingredient's were obviously cooked separately and then combined so that nothing got overcooked .... perfect execution Dessert was a multi layer chocolate cake and a lemon cake.... moisture and firmness of cake was wonderful. Frosting was delicious, not to sweet, not to dense.... the chocolate used was of a high quality and the lemon flavor was almost subtle, but present. Best meal of this type that I have had in a long time. I will always spend an evening here on future visits.

The lobster BLT was amazing! Sophie was attentive and very personable. We enjoyed our experience immensely. I highly recommend it. Guy came by to say hello and checked on us. He is a delight. Thank you...we will be returning.

Run don’t walk to this restaurant! We got there at a peak time, so we had a 20 minute wait. A patron came out & said, it’s worth the wait. It absolutely was!! We were seated & our server immediately took our drink order. By the time she came back with them we were ready to order our food. We calamari, NY strip steak with lobster, seafood risotto & Caesar salad with anchovies on the side. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it came with delicious garlic potatoes & asparagus. I ate the entire plate. The seafood risotto was a good portion size. All of it was cooked well! The calamari was so fresh! I could have eaten that alone for dinner. This is a small restaurant, but it packs a punch!! We will definitely be going again before we leave for home!

Stopped at this place for an early dinner as my mom and I were very hungry. They sat us down right away and our waitress was nice and recommended the warm lobster roll over the cold one and she didn’t let me down! Even though the food was delicious, it’s pricey for my lobster roll was $35 and my mom’s hamburger was $21. I could’ve just ordered a lobster roll on the pier for $15 but you get what you pay for! The atmosphere of the restaurant is cute and they have some seating upstairs too. I would suggest this place to anyone who is looking for quick service and good food but isn’t worrying about prices!

This place is everything you want in a small town American restaurant; cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in. You can tell the staff truly cares about creating a great experience; friendly, attentive, and just the right amount of laid back. The food? Absolutely delicious. Classic American favorites done right, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. And don’t sleep on the drinks well crafted cocktails and a solid selection that perfectly complement the laid back vibe. To top it all off, the location couldn’t be better. Right in downtown Old Orchard Beach, it’s the perfect spot to grab a bite before hitting the beach or winding down after a day in the sun. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re in the area, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit!

The Bell Buoy Restaurant in Old Orchard Beach, Maine is a classic coastal eatery offering straightforward New England seafood and other delicious entrees like gourmet steak, pasta, chicken, and locally-sourced seasonal veggies. This family-style restaurant has been a favorite among locals and tourists for decades. While it doesn't take reservations, the great food and welcoming atmosphere make it worth the wait. Visitors can enjoy generous portions at reasonable prices while soaking up the authentic coastal Maine vibe.
Omg this was amazing. Affordable and delicious! The stuffed mushrooms were probably the best I've had. The haddock parmesean was great and my kid had a really great first-lobster experience. Definitely recommend!

Everything was perfect, from the moment we walked into the restaurant until the moment we left. I came here with my family about 4 days ago, and I didn’t think we would all fit at one table, but the host was very friendly and managed to seat us all together. The waitress ( i think her name was Tracy) was also very kind and attentive throughout, and both the drinks and the food were a solid 10/10. We will definitely be coming back next year!”

In the heart of Old Orchard, you won’t find a better value for your money. We visited with a party of six, and everyone left satisfied. Whether you’re a fan of seafood or Italian cuisine, you won’t be disappointed. Like many spots in Old Orchard, the restaurant has a slightly dated look, but it was very clean and well cared for. We especially enjoyed the calamari and stuffed mushrooms — both were delicious. We had hoped to return later in the week, but with so many great dining options in the area, we simply ran out of time.

Would love to give them a good rating, however, other than the Lobster, my friends and I were not happy. I ordered the 3 course twin Lobster with Lobster biscuit and a salad... My lobster bisque was pretty good and had had a few pieces of Lobster included... Every place varies. But one of my friends ordered lobster bisque, and got a bowl of creamy broth. Not one piece of lobster. I'm not kidding, not one piece at all... When we brought it to the waitress's attention, she told us, that the lobster is only included with the three-course meal and not when you order lobster bisque... WHAT!!!! NOWHERE ON THE MENU DID IT STATE THAT THE LOBSTER BISQUE WAS LOBSTERLESS !! WHO WOULD ORDER IT? Her explanation was followed with a nasty " nothing I can do about it" We took the price of the lobster bisque off her tip... And probably will not return.

This place was cute and all, the food was pretty good, but the SERVICE was EXCEPTIONAL. Our server noticed that my daughter has a swollen wrist (she had fallen earlier that afternoon), she brought her an ice pack and then an ace bandage. She was so kind with my kids, and attentive- you just don't see that anymore!

I was a bit disappointed with my last visit here. I live in Maine and vacation in OOB every summer. Last year we ate here and we all thought it was fantastic. I love a good lobster bisque and they had the best I've ever had! All year I was excited to come back for it. This time however, not only was it not as good, it was not lobster bisque, I had everyone at the table try, and I swear it was campbells cheese soup with a lobster claw in it! I know it wasn't actually, but it was so odd, everything else was okay and I'm sure they would have comped the bisque had I said something...

Last night, Sunday August 31, we walked in at around 6:15pm to see if we can get a table for dinner. I noticed when we walked in, there was a woman standing ahead of us already waiting, and I noticed the host was behind the hostess stand. He didn’t even look up or make eye contact with anyone and walked to the back of the restaurant. I asked the woman if she had put her name in for a table and she said “no, I’ve been waiting for someone to notice me”. The host came back to the stand, didn’t say a word or look up at anyone and the woman asked how long it would be for a table, and all he replied was “it’s going to be awhile”. That’s an extremely subjective thing to say…is “awhile” 20 minutes? An hour? 3 hours? He never said. Then she asked, “can I put our name in for a table then?” And he said “no, we don’t take names.” And went about doing whatever he was doing behind the hostess stand, which didn’t look like much. He didn’t make eye contact with us, didn’t address us, nothing. After seeing that interaction of how rude and unfriendly they have for a host, we all turned around and walked out. Never have I ever experienced this in my life, especially visiting from my hometown that is also a tourist area. I worked in the restaurant industry for almost a decade and this was hands down some of the worst service I’ve ever seen within the first 5 minutes in a restaurant.

This place looked nice, and the service was not bad. The food sucked. The fried pickles were exactly how you would imagine. A decent appetizer. (Not many included though.) The mac and cheese balls were pretty mid. (Not many included.) If you held the pizza sideways to your eye, you wouldn't be able to see it because it was so thin. The texture was crusty, not very good. The nachos SUCKED. The olives were the only things that had taste. The fried shrimp was very mid. The fries were pretty good. Big and crispy. The steak was easily the best thing there.

Drinks were great, Loved the outdoor seating patio. We didn't have the food, but I can say, what we saw, looked fantastic. Will definitely be back when we are in the area next Summer. Was located within walking distance of the Pier, In the center of everything. Great place to people watch as you eat and have a couple of drinks outdoors. No wait, clean restrooms.

We arrived at OOB and heard the live music playing from Strike Zone. They were busy and we were able to get the one table available. Our waitress went through the motions, but wasn't super welcoming. She never offered refills, nor checked to see if we needed anything. We didn't have napkins, nor mustard for our burgers. The food is not homemade. The burgers are the pre made frozen kind. The one positive, is that they had a veggie burger on the menu for me. Disappointing overall since we spent over $40 for 2 burgers and one soda.

I didn't enjoy the food at all. The chocolate milk I ordered did not taste like chocolate milk at all. It was watered down. I had the grilled chicken and it had no flavor to it and the fries were too soft. My friend ordered a 🍔 but there was no mayo even though it says on the menu that it comes with it. She waited over 6 minutes for it until a cook had to bring it. To be fair though there was only 1 poor waitress doing the job of 3 so that's probably why she forgot. They should consider hiring more people here. Things would move quickly and the pressure would be off the existing staff.

Our waitress had an attitude when we sat in the restaurant for 45 minutes waiting for 4 sandwiches and 1 thing of chicken tenders. That was what we waited from food being ordered to food on the table. Not including the additional 20 mins we waited to order and then 10+ minutes we waited for our check. Very slow service and people who ordered food after us, that required more time, got the food before a couple BLT sandwiches. Also the condiments are kept in bottles that could be in better condition as well.

We had a nice experience overall. The area was clean, and the customer service was very friendly. The wait time for food was reasonable, and we liked that you could walk in, choose your own table, and a server would come to you. That said, the food was on the pricey side. We ended up spending significantly more here for a group of five compared to other nearby spots, including some restaurants closer to the pier. For the amount and type of food we ordered, we expected to pay less. On a positive note, the live music was great and added to the atmosphere. A good place if you’re looking for a relaxed vibe and good service

I’m on a family vacation with my kids, and looking forward to spending time with my family but this restaurant experience ruin the family fun, as they didn’t serve my kids the food that was on the menu but they were okay eating it cause they didn’t want to wait. The menu said burger and fries, my kids got burgers and a bag of chips which was $18 instead of waffle fries. But we didn’t complain. 😞 Please love your customers they are what keeps your business going. 🙏😞

Absolutely loved this place. Food was super yummy and I was in love with the calamari dish (not your usual calamari). We went with our 3 year old and 1.5 year old and the staff was super friendly and the owner has a treasure chest with little trinkets that the kids got to choose something to take home. There was some live music before we got there and the band had mini tambourines for the kids. It’s not advertised as family friendly but so far it was my favorite spot in our trip to Maine. Highly recommend for families!

We went here on a Sunday evening and the beach was hopping so it was nice they have seat yourself and large group tables. The waitress was busy but attentive. They had a live band playing some really fun tunes. The food was, fine. I got the lobster roll with lemon aioli, and it was disappointing they barely put any of the aioli on it because it was delicious. My kids were happy with their food. Overall a great place to eat outside on the beach.

have always loved the patio since it was a more known bar. hadn’t been back for a few years since moving and was very disheartened to see our bill of $70 for 5 small clear plastic cup mixed drinks. should have known better when prices were not listed on the menu but $15 for a 3 sip small clear solo cup of mixed beverage is moronic. will always love the patio, hate whatever changed in 2 years.

Food was mediocre. The taco chicken was a bit dry but the sweet chili sauce on the tacos gave it more flavor. Service was slow, we ended up getting our food before our drink which was odd. It was clearly a busy day though. What I love about this place is the atmosphere. It’s a boat shaped restaurant and you can sit in the back on the sand and they had live music all day (on a Saturday) which was what made us stay there so long.

Love the dive bar atmosphere and the amazing view. But don't like that you have to walk to another building to go to the bathroom. The bartender had no real clue how to make the very very expensive bucket drinks. I will go again but I will drink beer.. the drinks are expensive oh and no parking..

Sat down to an empty table which had never been cleaned prior. Ordered 3 soft drinks, 1 mixed drink, kids grilled cheese, a green salad, basic nachos, and the chicken sandwich ( which was horribly dried out) and our bill came to $93. I obviously still felt inclined to leave a 20 percent tip which then brought our bill to $111. Never would I have expected such a high bill for a basic and disappointing lunch. Do not recommend and will not ever be returning.

Taqueria 207 is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Old Orchard Beach, offering fresh and authentic cuisine made with love and care. The menu features a variety of made-to-order classics such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and bowls using only the freshest ingredients. The Carne Asada Tacos are highly recommended for a flavor sensation, followed by the indulgent Tres Leches Cake for dessert.
I come here all the time, and always get the Gringo Taco, Haddock Taco, and Birria Taco. The gringo is a wayyyyy better hard Taco Bell taco, with ground beef and some veggies & cheese. The haddock is not the normal fried fish with cabbage, but it is so so so good! There queso dip also super good! It can get a little hot in the restaurant, but other than that I highly recommend this place for Mexican food in Maine.

This out of the way place was just what we needed after walking on hot pavement everywhere! Kind, helpful bartender (both times we visited) who was friendly and made everyone feel like a "regular".

It's a great dive bar. As a bartender from a land far away in the western lands of Colorado.. this place made me feel at home. If you don't like your drinks strong or served with some sass, stay around the pier and expect paying 3X the price for a fake smile and the same shot. Personally, I tip good for strong drinks and service that's direct. Best bar in Old Orchard.

I’ve had 2 bad experiences now at this bar both times we’ve gone. The first time they were playing slow depressing country music but we stayed and endured through it. We were running a bar tab and toward the end of the evening I tried to pay. I was literally trying to flag the bartender down who would look at me and then serve a male customer (I am female) who approached the bar way after me. She was laughing and flirting. I went to the other end of the bar thinking she couldn’t ignore me because she virtually had to walk past me. This kept happening! I couldn’t believe it! I had to have my husband go in to pay the tab and he sure got served. What the??? We decided to still go a second time. This time was WORSE. It was still pretty early in the evening and the bar wasn’t busy. They were still playing the super depressing slow country music and we wanted to have fun and play more upbeat music. We were buying drinks, tipping well and PAID for music from the Touch tunes. It was more modern dance music and we were enjoying it. Suddenly the music stopped in the middle of our song and there was silence. No music was played until our music in the queue was over. We sat in silence and then the same old (were talking 70s-80s) old country music came back on. We couldn’t believe that because we actually had PAID FOR THAT MUSIC! We were shocked. I had to contact Touch tunes to get a refund because the Whaler had stolen money from us in doing this. If you want to have a good upbeat time this bar is definitely not the place for you. I will never go back. The bloody Mary’s didn’t even taste good either- flat and bland. We will not be returning here.

Our first time eating here and we're definitely planning on coming back! Steak Tips, salads, buffalo wings, and martini flight were all perfect. I was a bit hesitant when I heard the veggie of the night was asparagus, as I've never been a fan, but turns out, I've never had it cooked like this before. It was amazing and now I need to figure out how to recreate their roasted asparagus! Staff was friendly and restaurant was clean.

Ordered for the family and was told pick up at a given time. Showed up and waited 25 minutes longer for the food to finally be done. Meatball sub... Bread was dough, not toasted at all, with rubbery meatballs that were not even on the bread, the cheese unmelted. Burger... Completely raw and inedible. Chicken tenders... Burnt and dry Meatball plate... Missing in action Chicken salad... Chickenless , no dressing Philly cheese steak... Technically food. Have fun

Overcooked my steak (that happened to be the special). They did get me another steak that was cooked appropriately, but very tough. The bartender had the attitude that we were a burden. Never asked us anything. We had to get her attention for everything. She did mention she was filling in & doesn't regularly work there. This is the third time I've been there, and it seems like disappointment after disappointment. Too bad because they are close to where we stay. I do hope to see them succeed. They need to up their food & customer service!

Food was delicious and came out very quickly. We got the fried pickles (came with chipotle mayo to dip). I was not expecting to get the amount of fried pickles that we got, it was a ton! Also I had for the first time crispy Thai chili brussel sprouts, they were they fantastic. For the main courses I had a steak and cheese with chips (highly recommend), along with a sausage bacon pizza. The pizza had great flavor and really good size. The pizza appeared to be wood fired and was cooked perfectly. Topped everything off with an ice cold Allagash White; good variety of local draft beers available. Would definitely recommend this place for eat in our take out, I'll definitely be returning!

Worst service I have ever had. Period. We decided to sit outside because the inside was extraordinarily loud and stuffy. The outside is very bland and boring but at least not so loud. The water tasted like sewer water and they had no bottled water available which we were willing to pay for. It took almost 45 minutes just to get 2 pizzas served. Then there were the buffalo wings which were my meal that were never served at all even after we were told “They will be right out” multiple times. The other two at the table finished their pizzas, still no wings. We said we felt we should not be charged for the wings at this point to which the server agreed and said she would take it off the bill. A woman came outside where we were sitting very aggressively and said “What’s wrong here? You’ve been rude since you got here!” She then told us she wasn’t going to compensate for the wings and cancelled the order (keep in mind this is approaching 1 hour waiting for a simple order of wings). We explained all the issues and her response was “It’s not a big deal!!!” I asked who she was and she shockingly responded that she is the OWNER. What sort of business owner would ever treat their customers like this as opposed to simply apologizing and asking how she could make things better to leave a positive, long lasting impression? The impression was certainly left, loud and clear. I would not recommend this place to my own worst enemy. I can’t believe any sort of owner would treat its customers this way. At least not one who would want its customers to return or pass along a good word. Best of luck Local Eatery & Tap. Hopefully somebody with half a brain for business comes along and purchases this place so it can live up to it’s potential.

Unexpectedly ended up here after a long car ride from jersey and what a pleasant surprise it was ! The restaurant has great decor , and a huge inviting bar when you walk in . It was a full house but the team still managed to greet us right away and make us feel welcome immediately . They had a great selection of local beers on tap , and the bartender was so helpful in making recommendations and letting us taste a few before we ordered . I ordered a specialty cocktail while my boyfriend ordered a few different local brews , and we were impressed with all of our choices . For appetizers we ordered the sweet potato waffle fries , and the popcorn chicken . They were both DELICIOUS and hit the spot after a long trip . We also ordered the steak Italiano to go for a late night snack and it was the perfect balance of spice , delicious ingredients ,and flavor . The staff here made us feel so welcomed , the owner even came over and chatted for a while . My boyfriend and I loved our experience here and would absolutely recommend if you’re staying in old orchard beach .

Big Shots is a versatile spot that offers different experiences depending on the time of day. During the day, it provides a mellow and quiet atmosphere with a pleasant ocean view, while at night, it transforms into a lively nightclub. The staff members are friendly and attentive, ensuring that guests have an enjoyable visit. The food receives high praise, particularly the burgers and salt and vinegar fries. Additionally, patrons appreciate the delicious drinks available at Big Shots.
Me and my husband stopped into Big Shots today in OOB, a bar that I went to 6 years ago that was known for their iconic Shark Bowls. This time we were just looking for a mimosa and a beer, but we ended up having one of the best experiences of our whole trip! The bar has had a total glow-up since I last came here years ago, it looks amazing inside now. Way better atmosphere and super clean. We sat at the bar and were lucky enough to get George and Lexi as our bartenders, and they were both amazing. George especially was next level. He made us feel so welcome, hyped up the energy with some hilarious cheers for our shots, and somehow convinced us to try the pork belly bites even after just coming from breakfast (the pork was absolutely insane… like crispy, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth 10/10 good). Of course the mimosa was fantastic too. What really stood out though is how genuinely helpful George was. We mentioned we were going horseback riding tomorrow and he took the time to help us figure out a better route so we wouldn’t waste time driving. And the shots he did the cheers for us were in honor of the Jell-O Shot Competition that they have where if you take a Jell-O shot they keep count of what state you’re from (Massachusetts was in first place, our home state, so we had to add to it!) If you’re in OOB and looking for a drink, a snack, or just good vibes with people who actually care, go to Big Shots. Trust me. P.S. I tried to add the location to my Snapchat story but it wouldn’t come up, so I put in a request for the location to be added 😇 Sorry for the long review!

I don’t even know where to start, as soon as we walked in, we were told to have a seat anywhere and then promptly asked for the order of drinks three minutes later. Our waitress was happy and bubbly and willing to recommend delicious options. After the first bite of our food, I hands down have to say this is by far the best burger I’ve had in New England.

The Tiki Hut OOB is a seasonal spot in the heart of Old Orchard Beach, offering a variety of famous tropical drinks like Tiki Punch and Dirty Bananas. With an oceanfront view, it provides a cute environment with nice servers. The food menu includes options like lobster tacos and jerk lobster, along with island-style cocktails and a good beer selection.
We grabbed just a few drinks and snacks, the view is beautiful, the staff were great, and the patio is dog friendly.

The location is excellent overlooking the beach in the pier however, the food was below average. On the chalkboard they said they had fresh Mojitos. Two of us ordered them and unfortunately, the drinks tasted differently. One was OK and one was poor. Again the better of the two Mojitos was only OK not even good. The good, service was excellent, and the location and view were excellent. Prices were high for the quality and quantity. The chips were stale. The fries were the best thing we ate. We had burgers and fish tacos.

It's a beautiful spot to grab a drink right near the beach. I did get shrimp tacos which were not good. I couldn't finish them. The wraps were old and dry and they had no flavor. Shrimps were rubbery.

Ordered a couple of margaritas here for a total price of $30 and they weren’t that great, it’s a tourist trap so whatever... The staff also made me feel like i was a jerk for being shirtless in my bathing suit (i am at an outdoor beach side tiki bar on a hot summer day.. not a formal restaurant.. give me a break) despite the fact that my wife and i were polite and cordial with the staff the whole time, perhaps they were having a bad day. To top off our experience, the bartender told me they couldn’t do a salt rim due to the fact that they use plastic cups.. I was confused by this as i have had a marg in a plastic cup with a salt rim. Which left me feeling kind of salty. So here is a photo of a marg in a plastic cup for pointers, Cheers!

Hooligans Steak and Ale is a historic establishment located on The Pier in OOB, offering a unique blend of Irish pub vibes with a New England twist. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment including comedy shows and music performances. The pier itself features various shops, sports bars, and dining options, making it an exciting destination for tourists. While the food at Hooligans Steak and Ale is described as good, some find the portions to be small and prices somewhat high.
We ordered fries calamari, steak and burger. we love the food especially the batter that the calamari was fried with, the steak was cooked well. The ocean view was really nice too.

Hooligans Landing definitely delivered on the eats and entertainment. The Crab Rangoons were crispy, creamy, and totally addictive, and the steak tips? Melt in your mouth amazing. Legit worth coming back for just those. Karaoke night brought the energy whether people could sing or not, it was all good vibes and lots of laughs. Loved the atmosphere. That said, the service missed the mark. Our waitress assumed my food was for my boyfriend without asking, even though I was the one who ordered, awkward moment that didn’t get addressed, let alone apologized for. We were just trying to have a good night, and that kind of assumption was not it. Overall, I’d go back for the food and fun, just hoping the service steps up next time.

Food was really good. Prices were competitive to other places in town. Both burgers were tasty even though they were a bit overcooked. We ordered the medium and they came out Well done. Lobster quesadilla was very tasty. Boom boom sauce was delish! Calamari was good and not chewy. Service was friendly but a little slow. We sat on the balcony area because the inside was so loud that we couldn't hear the hostess or waitress. The view from the balcony was awesome!

Extremely disappointed - would recommend avoiding food here completely. My wife and I visited Hooligans for lunch towards the end of July during peak season. Old Orchard Beach is a touristy area and our expectations were set appropriately for crowds, prices, etc. These factors played no part in our experience. We ordered the Philly egg rolls and clam chowder to start, accompanied by the tuna melt and fish and chips. The picture included was of the $28 fish and chips. Underwhelmed does not serve the experience justice. The fish and fries were extremely dry and for the price I would have expected a larger portion. The waitress did not come over once after the meals were served. It was almost as if she were embarrassed by what she brought out. I could not even finish the meal due to how dry it was. When asked how the meal was as the table was being cleared, I commented on how dry it was and she offered to have it remade or pass the comments on to the kitchen. She also indicated that there was no manager working to speak to. This is concerning for many reasons considering it is peak season in the area and apparently there was not a person with the authority to address concerns on staff. Additionally, the comments to the kitchen were passed on in what seemed to be 30 seconds. The $100+ bill was delivered with no apology or reduction. We also noticed "the kitchen" leaning against equipment on their phone as we walked out. We will not be going back and I strongly recommend other options be considered before dining here. Very unfortunate.

We were excited to eat on the pier and decided to try Hooligans. What struck me first was how dirty and dusty everything was. We sat at a table that had photos on the wall (next to us) and they were gross. So filthy - covered with old food/drinks/grease - and obviously rarely cleaned, if ever. The decorations overhead were covered in dust as well. Our table was dirty, as was my chair (remnants of the previous customers, I would assume). Our server was friendly & we liked him. We ordered fried foods for dinner because, frankly, after seeing how dirty everything was, I was worried about ordering a salad or anything ‘fresh’. Our fried foods (chicken tenders, fried haddock, & fries) were a bit overcooked, but still tasty. I can honestly say that I will never go back. It wasn’t worth the money.

Haven't been here in over 22 years a lot sure has changed. Loved the Old Pier two or three restaurants and shops there. It was the tourist season so very crowded. A great area for families lots of amusements, food stands, shops, arcades and of course 7 miles of sandy beach to enjoy the beautiful Maine coastline.

Nestled on the banks of the Saco River, just a stone's throw from Biddeford, lies Run of the Mill Public House & Brewery. This cozy tavern-style eatery offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with its brick walls and wood beams. The menu features classic pub fare alongside an impressive selection of house-brewed beers including lagers, ales, porters, and stouts.
Drinks were great , beer was awesome, and food was top tier! sit outside on a sunny day and watch the river, covered patio or table with umbrella. I’ve never seen waitresses so good that they can remember an entire table of drink and food orders with customization and not miss a beat, and all with a cheery attitude. Highly recommended!

Parking situation is a little weird but ample spots. If you’re waiting on others to join you, recommend requesting a table while you wait. At 7pm, we had a 20-25 minute wait. They did a good job at giving us a true estimated wait time & update when our table was ready. They update you via text, so that gives you some flexibility if you didn’t want to wait in their waiting area. Clam chowder was good. I liked how it was more heavy on potatoes instead of clam. Creamy and served with crackers. I feel like the Mac n cheese gets a lot of undeserved hype. For a “triple cheese sauce” - I would’ve expected it to be cheesier. Felt dry - definitely needed more cheese. Nothing spectacular about the crunchy topping. The Parmesan wheel on top was different and a nice addition. Drinks sucked. I ordered a water and a strawberry lemonade. When the waitress came out, I actually thought my drink was the water (pictured with the soup). Didn’t get water until later, had to ask for it 2x throughout the night. My sister’s drink was forgotten about. Waitress eventually brought it out and took it off the tab. Which bumps this rating from a 2 star to a 3 star review. You don’t see compensation given these days, so when compensation is given - it deserves recognition. I tasted my friends’ drinks: - Spicy Watermelon Margarita: also pale in color, tasted like a Jalepeno in water - Raspberry Margarita: tasted like a lime dipped in raspberry Did not want a second sip of either. The fact that they all sucked, is concerning. Two others from our table got the lobster roll and fish tacos and they were pleased with their choices!! Looks like it could be a cute place to gather. Originally planned on meeting another friend here for drinks - will NOT do that in the future. 3 strikes with the cocktails (maybe their beer is better; but sucks for those who are not “beer people.”) Was expecting better.

Honestly, I’m sad it wasn’t better. Food was okay… we ate it but nothing to rave about. We came early and were sat right away. No wait and not a packed dining room. It was cold inside and the rain outside didn’t help. Our waitress did mess up the order and had to bring out a meal after the rest of us started eating. After that, never checked back not even for a refill of drinks. wanted to try something new, so we did but that’s probably the last time we will visit there. Overall, not the worst but certainly not the best.

We stopped in on July 4th weekend after beach day. They got our kids served quickly to tame the little monsters. My daughter loved the chicken tenders and my son got the corn dogs. He's a little guy but he crushed 1, took the 2nd home and was excited for leftovers the next day. I got the Seafood Fra Diavolo- definitely an excellent choice Love this place and excited to return when we're in the area Lastly, the horseradish Dijon mustard dip for the corn dogs was one of the best condiments ive ever had in my life!!!

The food was very good, a nice array of tavern food-type items(beer and beer cheeses and fried foods and such). The customer service was incredible, true impressive. Our hostess was notably gregarious and kept us well-updated on tables, and our server Christopher was one of the best waiters I've ever seen. He was joking with all of his tables at once and provided rapid and attentive service, ranging from finding a sweetening agent for our mixed drink(lemonade!) to good wine recommendations to helping a nearby customer get a meal ticket in minutes before the kitchen closes. Truly a master class in helping the customer, a delightful evening.

Funtown Splashtown USA is a fantastic combination of an amusement park and a water park, offering something for everyone in the family. The amusement park features rides suitable for little kids, classic family-friendly attractions, and thrilling rides for older kids and adults. Meanwhile, the Splashtown section provides relief from the heat with its lazy river, pools, splash pads, and water slides.
I love Funtown! Rides are fun and most employees are friendly and efficient. Only negative is the prices for day admission ($50-$60) and some parts of the park need music. Overall Funtown is such a hidden gem and is very enjoyable!

DO NOT COME ALONE!! You cannot do multiple rides here as a single rider. All the rides here are old, and it's a bunch of generic stuff. It's basically a bunch of carnival rides. I can't believe this park is rated so highly on here. There are so many regional parks that are much better than this that cost less too. This park survives because nothing else is around. What a waste of my time and money.

I went here all the time as a kid and over the past two years, have visited the park via the All Grown Up event. This park is simply timeless. It's respectfully mid-sized with a great selection of above average to fantastic rides. All with minimal wait time. My favorite has always been the Thunder Falls log flume. Flumes are always personal favorites but this might be my favorite at any park I've ever been to. The journey around the waterways is fun, and the giant fall at the end is a blast! (My least favorite is the Wild Mouse. Good god will that hurt your midsection with how much you're jostled in that cart.) It even has some pretty fun slow rides. Taking the antique cars is a tradition! Their two huge rides, Excalibur and Dragon Decent, provide an amazing view of the park and nearby forest. Seriously, pay attention to your surroundings when you go on these, it's truly breathtaking. One thing I would love to see is for the All Grown Up event (or even a separate event entirely) to allow access to Splashtown. Late-night water park fun would be a truly unique experience.

Great local amusement park. Lots of benches & shade on the ride side. The water park side has bunches of seating, but it was still hard to find an unoccupied spot after lunchtime. Shade is hard to come by on the water park side. There are changing rooms, but no fresh water rinse off spots on the water park side. I do love that they let you bring in coolers with drinks & food, just no glass & no alcohol. I am mildly physically disabled and access was pretty good, easy to find, etc. You can rent strollers, wheelchairs, and electric scooters. Lockers of different sizes are available. The staff was so kind, and many of them looked like they actually enjoyed their jobs. There are roving security/ medic teams, which made me feel a bit safer. Parking is plentiful, but you may have a long walk on busy days. RVs & buses have a different lot to park in.

We visited on a very hot Tuesday in August. Overall I was really happy with our experience. The rides were great, and really not much of a line anywhere. I walked right on Excalibur , the wooden roller coaster. The water park was a blast, with lots of slide options for all levels. I would highly recommend visiting for anyone vacationing along the Maine coast in the summer. Yours kids will love it.

The restaurant provides a laid-back atmosphere with deck seating overlooking the beach, where guests can enjoy cocktails and homey seafood dishes such as lobster mac and cheese.

The fish and chips here are AMAZING!! The fish is so fresh. Server said they literally cut the fish right before the cooked it. Batter wasn’t too heavy or too light, perfectly seasoned. The staff was super nice and spicy margarita was amazing! I think it might be the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Fries are cooked 3 times which is the best! We travel constantly and had lots. If we’re ever back here this place will be revisited. Thank you again for the great food, atmosphere and hospitality.

Stopped by The Shack for lunch during a vacation at Old Orchard Beach with my daughter. It definitely looks like a shack but don't let that out you off. The food was really good. I had a fried haddock sandwich with fries that was really good. My daughter had the fish n chips and she loved it. The drinks were good too as I tried a Moscow Mule, never had one, and it was really good. The service was excellent. Britney, our server, was friendly, helpful and patient. I highly recommend stopping by The Shack if you're looking for a good place for a bite and drink while walking around Old Orchard.

Unfortunately, this is one of the only places that stays open late. It was very frustrating that there was absolutely no parking anywhere around for this restaurant. There is no street parking, and everything around it is owned by the hotels. I tried to park and couldn't find anything. I had to go a few streets over to the park to park. I felt uncomfortable because there were a lot of homeless people, and I didn't feel like my car was safe. I parked there anyway and then walked several blocks, but I couldn't turn the direction of the restaurant because there is a train track that goes through it with a fence on both sides. After walking for 10 minutes, I turned around and went and got my car. I finally offered to pay one of the hotels to park in their parking lot, and they hesitantly agreed. We ordered the fish sandwich and the Philly cheese steak. Both came with a pasta salad, which I typically love. This one tasted like they used cleaning vinegar, and it was pretty gross. My son and I were both joking about how bad it was. He enjoyed the fish sandwich, and I enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak. I just wish there were more options instead of the pasta salad. I enjoy fine dining and never mind pain the higher prices for quality food and the atmosphere. It appeared that the hostess and the waiter were both in a hurry to get people in and out. They don't bring you silverware and a clean cloth napkin to your table, but instead, there is a little tub with spoons and forks that everybody places their hands on. The table was sticky and not very clean. They serve drinks in plastic cups, including water. They also don't have to come around and offer you refills because they leave a picture on the table for you to help yourself. You would think with the prices that they are charging that they could at least you bring you glass cups and your own personal silverware. Seemed pretty wasteful to me, but I guess at the end of the day, it's all about the dollar. They could at least try to buy some of the real estate around them for a parking lot for their customers!

Pier Patio Pub is a popular and unique bar and restaurant located at the end of a 600-ft. pier in Old Orchard Beach. The interior has a rustic "cabin feel" with Pier planking flooring, offering an easygoing atmosphere to enjoy pub fare and alcoholic beverages. One of its highlights is the outside deck, where visitors can savor cold drinks while taking in exquisite views.
Our family had a wonderful lunch here. The food was delicious and the view was even better! Perfect spot to stop for a bite to eat and drink during a busy day the the pier.

Not. Worth. It. This isn't what a $25 clam strip 'platter' should look like... My friends and I went here cuz we thought this place would be good. It was not. The view is pretty nice, but it's just as nice from down on the beach. Also, they told us to seat our selves, so the five of us did. Then they combined our bill all together and because we all ordered a meal and a drink, it was over a certain dollar amount so they included their mandatory 15% gratuity to our bill. I'm not blaming the server, but she literally came over, we immediately gave her both our food and drink order, she brought us our drinks from the bar, someone else brought our food to the table, and then we never saw her again until she came over 20 minutes later to give us the check. That did not deserve a $50 tip. Sorry.

This was such a night and day difference of an experience compared to the previous time coming here, and it was all thanks to our waitress, Ambrosia!!! I was very much looking forward to bringing my niece here, and hoping to give her the best of memories to look back on just as I had when I was younger coming to OOB and the pier. Ambrosia really went above and beyond before even greeting us!! She was quick to come and see us waiting, her energy was exactly what this experience needed to make it a fantastic one, and she was so happy to ensure my niece had everything she needed to be entertained and put a smile on her face. My niece is not a small child either, but Ambrosia was so quick to offer my niece a virgin pina colata, giving her much better options than just the regular kids drinks. She brought her a little umbrella, and even put the thought into ensuring it matched her outfit!! She brought her stickers, and a bucket to collect random items with!! This lady went above and beyond, as I previously stated, and these are just some of the many examples!! I would 100% come back here just because of her!! Thank you for ensuring my niece has a memory she will hold onto with her aunt for forever!! <3

If you read through the reviews, you will see everyone comments on the view. That is what you pay for. The food was "OK" at best, nothing stands out. The portions are extremely small, so much so we had to get additional food elsewhere. The pictures on the menu in no way represent what you receive. The bill came to $79 with the food pictured and 4 sodas.

Eating here was the worst part if our day. Pay no mind to the reviews that mark up for scenic views, this place is good for nothing other than a nice picture of the water. We ate here with a party of 5 and we were told they wouldn't make two checks for us to pay our tabs but that we could put the charges on separate cards. Fine. We get the check at the end and they added a $50+ mandatory gratuity. It's a seat yourself establishment. The waitress was at our table a whole two times, one for our drinks and one 30+ minutes later with the check - we never even saw her in between that. One of us asked for water at the beginning and she never brought it, the rest of us had only the one round of drinks and someone else brought our meals to us. To say it was some of the most disappointing food we've ever had is not an exaggeration. The portions are silly, the food is not fresh or hot, or good...the breading they use is just terrible, it tastes like you're eating literal bread with a tiny bit of clam inside. You can choose to eat here and pay the equivalent of a mansions electricity bill for the month while you choke down the food, and what you get in return is to see more of the ocean than you already saw plenty of down on the beach. Save yourself the disappointment.

Tequila Frogs is a vibrant eatery that offers a diverse menu of Mexican and BBQ dishes, accompanied by an assortment of beers and margaritas. The delectable aromas wafting from the restaurant are matched only by the mouthwatering flavors found within their food. The level of smokiness is just right, enhancing the tenderness and exceptional taste of the meat. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome with warm greetings and genuine smiles.
Amazing street corn on the cob. Mac n cheese was creamy an cooked perfect. Tacos are authentic. They use beef brisket which was amazing. Not dried out tender an juicy great flavor. Staff was extremely friendly an very pleasant.

Food can be good, not all of it is good. Two loved the chicken sandwiches. The tacos were good but not authentic in any way The Mexican street corn was not warm but tasted okay. Looked good but served kind of cold. The taco salad had great beef added. The tequila mule was great but $10 each—$$$. The fried pickles tasted like it was also fried with fish, and was therefore fishy. Salsa was bad. Not enough and chips stale. Definitely did not pass the “chips and salsa” test. PLUS, they weren’t free. Grrr. I don’t think they have incentive to improve things. We paid over $150 for five people.

We wanted to go to a different Mexican restaurant but it was closed so we decided to come to this one & we were not disappointed! Our waiter was super friendly, down to earth & honest with options on the menu (as opposed to waiters who try to push you to buy/upsell everything). My boyfriend chose the chicken tacos & I had the chicken quesadilla and omg. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. We also got bucket drinks: we tried the Caribbean (tastes like blue lemonade) & Hornito (tastes like a margarita) buckets. They are a bit small but you get your alcohols worth! Overall drinks were okay. If not for drinks, this rating would be 5/5! Service was great, food was amazing & drinks were all right! Would definitely come here again! To note: if it’s a quiet night, they will close earlier but they don’t rush or pressure you!

Don’t waste your time and money. Food is overpriced and decent at best. Waitress took our drink order brought the drinks, took our order and then did not come back. Our food was brought to us (pictured “Spanish rice”) which was just white rice with pickled onions, and the homemade guacamole didn’t taste it at all. We ate our whole meal without her checking on us when we needed some things. After finishing up and still no sight of our waitress we asked a waiter who was helpful and he grabbed her. We just wanted our check and to leave. She finally brought the bill over and I gave her my debit card she comes back with the receipt with no debit card. Thankfully the waiter who helped us before brought it over to us. No name tags so her name is unknown but she had braces. Save yourselves the trip.

When we rolled up, we were excited to see the smoker which gave us a good idea what we were in for. We had the family combo with four sides. We especially loved the spare ribs and the chicken, but the very best thing was the wonderful service! Our service was perfectly timed and attentive at all times! Drink service was very quick too. We were so impressed, we can’t wait to come back with our friends!! Great tourist spot but as locals, we’re delighted to know great food and service is close by ❤️❤️

The bartender last night was not very friendly and seemed like we were a bother. My drink was cute but not that good. The waitress was nice but definitely seemed very new to waitressing. My food was not that good but the queso was. Fun atmosphere but other than that, I’d keep walking.

zero Stars. don't waste your money..Overpriced drinks and food. Food is bland with a lot of cabbage on top. The meal is served on newspapers with plastic utensils at your table in a plastic cup and a roll of paper towels for napkins. Close to 100 bucks for a bad meal one drink each for two people. Price gouging for a bad meal.

We went here three times in the two days we were at old orchard beach. It is a little overpriced but far more reasonable than most places in the immediate area, and the food is quite good. Drinks are expensive but on point, and the service is quick and courteous. I think their breakfast buffet is the best bargain in town for starting the day off right, definitely not overpriced there. Will definitely be back!

I gave three stars because it could have been warmer, a bit chilly. Had to keep my jacket on! The heat kicked in 1 hour later! Food is pricy for amount; if you add fries instead of chips that come with a meal ,they add $2! Onion rings are more! For the price of a plate that should come with it. Upon walking in, no one was there to seat us! Maybe there is a lack of staff, not sure? The new world? Also, during our meal, the server didn't come back till the end of the meal to ask how things were. Otherwise, the food is yummy.

We were seated right away which was nice. Our table had a sticky substance on it and looked like it needed to be wiped down. The waitress explained that it is from the cleaning products and wiping it won’t help. The menus and your arms literally stick to the table. We ordered the BBQ Chicken and Caprese pizza and a few appetizers. The BBQ chicken pizza was amazing but the caprese pizza was soggy in the middle sitting in puddle of oil. It was not edible. Our server was nice but never came to check on us or offer refills, etc. I don’t think we will be back.

First time there, not the last. First off, Kiley, our waitress was, from the beginning super friendly. She covered all the bases of listening, repeating and once our meal showed up, proved everything I just said. Awesome girl. Now to the drinks.

Very Good food. Relaxing atmosphere. I would recommend coming before 4pm during the summer at least if you want to avoid crowds and waiting. We went right when they opened and got seated right away. We only had to wait a few minutes for our early dinner. My only complaint is that they should have served our salads first before the meal 🥘 came out but instead within a couple of minutes of eating our salad 🥗 the food came out. Our waitress was very nice and checked on us but not so much that it was annoying. But again I would come right when it opens up to avoid the crowd. A bit pricey as well but worth it because the food again is really good and they also accommodated my daughter and made her grilled cheese 🧀 even though it wasn’t on the menu which I really appreciated. Will definitely be going back again. 👍 😋😊

Lazy Days Restaurant is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch, offering a variety of delicious options. The menu includes breakfast combinations, sandwiches like the pork belly BLT, chicken and waffles, and Texas toast. The prices are reasonable for the area. Visitors have praised the friendly and personable service from the staff. Some have also enjoyed their supper at Lazy Days, with dishes like broccoli and chicken Alfredo with garlic bread receiving high praise.
If you're looking for a new favorite spot in downtown OOB, Lazy Days Cafe is the place to be! The service here is exceptional, making every visit feel like a special treat. And the food? Absolutely mouthwatering! Their hollandaise sauce is out of this world – the best I’ve ever tasted, hands down. I'm officially addicted! With parking now more accessible, you’ll find us coming back more often for sure. Don't miss out on this gem – head over to Lazy Days Cafe and experience it for yourself!

Recommended by a friend and it was worth it. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The morning drinks are stiff and the coffee is made just right. But let me tell you about the Benedict, the egg made it. The cook poached it perfectly to get that soft runny yolk and the hollandaise flavor was familiar. They also have fun specials. I'd definitely come back to eat and party.

If you’re anywhere near OOB, do yourself a favor and go to Lazy Days Restaurant. We live here seasonally and are absolutely hooked. From breakfast to lunch and dinner, the food is fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing. The place is spotless, the vibe is relaxed, and there’s often live music that makes it feel like you’re on vacation even if you’re not. Dave, the owner, genuinely cares about every guest, and it shows. And Kathy? She puts her heart and soul into this place. You’ll find her pouring mimosas one day and in the kitchen the next, bringing out one of her signature recipes—like the haddock chowder, which is next-level. Don’t leave without trying her pudding shots—they’re famous for a reason. Lazy Days isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You’ll feel like family, and you’ll keep coming back. We do—every weekend. No, I’m not a paid spokesperson or a bot. 😂 GO THERE and check it out.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this place was not good. The food was terrible. The fries were super greasy with no flavor or salt, and my $16 burger was soooo tiny. My friend's buffalo chicken tenders were definitely just frozen. And we were the only people in the whole restaurant and it took 45 minutes to get our food. A burger should NOT take 45 minutes if its the only thing being cooked. Lastly, the waiter was too busy drinking at the bar to check if we needed our check to pay and leave, I had to approach him mid-drink to get our check. Needless to say we will not be coming back.

Edit: all the tables got our food after about an hour and 45 mins, and it was delicious. They threw in some extra bacon, sausage and toast (well they were also out of home fries). We also received a discount, though we turned down the free pudding shots 🙂 I'm sure this was an anomaly. The server staff is friendly and apologetic, no problem there, but it's been 1.5 hours and we're still waiting on two basic breakfasts. Do not come here unless you have at least an hour or more to spare to wait on scrambled eggs. Apparently there are computer issues but they hand wrote all of our orders so why not just use that? Every table in here that came at the same time as us is still waiting also, 1.5 hours and still counting.

Elevate Cafe, formerly known as the Star Struck Cafe, is a unique blend of a yoga studio and a coffee shop located at 155 Saco Ave in Old Orchard Beach. This charming cafe offers an array of artisanal coffee and delectable breakfast options, including avocado toast and protein-packed wraps. The menu caters to health-conscious foodies without compromising on flavor.
I had a fabulous visit to Elevate Cafe. When the yoga studio isn't open, this is a very warm and inviting coffee, smoothie, and bakery space. The music was soft and pleasant, so it's great for folks who'd like to work remotely. There were many comfortable seating options and wifi available. The owner, David, and the other worker behind the counter were very pleasant. They referred to every customer by name and put forth an effort to interact with them - a very difficult thing to do when working in a cafe with many responsibilities and a typical fast pace. I ordered a honey-lavender (torani syrup + honey) latte and rosemary bagel. David explained that the bagels were baked in-house using a sourdough starter. It was absolutely delicious. They were also cutting up cinnamon rolls to bake while I was there. They also had some local jewelry, candles, and art for sale. The only thing I'd mention is that the menu to order from seemed a bit incomplete. Though they offered espresso-based drinks, it wasn't listed on the menu. Prices were also absent, so I didn't know what to expect. Overall, this was a very lovely spot to have stopped in on. This business is run by a family who is very passionate about what they do, and it shows.

I’ve gone here twice now while visiting old orchard beach and I can for sure say the food is really good I always am satisfied by the bagel. My issue is the both the times I’ve visited months apart they’ve forgotten part of the order. The first time they forgot a bagel from the order. This time we ordered the last cinnamon roll and they sold it to someone else even though we ordered it first. When the wait time is so long I expect the order to be right. This place could definitely be 5/5 if the service improved.

Old Orchard Pier is a historic 500-foot timber structure that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, serving as an iconic landmark of the area since its construction in 1898. Despite facing various challenges such as fires and storms over the years, it remains an integral part of this beach town's identity. During the off-season, visitors can enjoy serene sunrises with their dogs and take leisurely walks along the beach.
We have visited Old Orchard Pier in the summer and the fall. It’s always an adventure. Summers are busy and bustling. Fall is quiet and serene. While it can attract an eclectic group of individuals, I felt very safe there with my family and it is always a fun time.

Old Orchard Beach is such a great vacation spot. The beach is pristine, the waves a blast, lots of beachy stores and restaurants, and the downtown area by the Pier is tons of fun with kids. Arcade games, carnival rides, surfing lessons, pizza and fried dough, and fireworks every Thursday night, provide you and your kids more enjoyment than you can possible enjoy in one week! Rain or shine, this is a great destination to spend a week with the kids.

OOB is a cheesy place, with the arcade, old amusement park rides, fast food joints and touristy shops... Yet it's a blast and great for young kids! The beach is clean and the pier provides some shade. The waves are loud of fun. And there are several restaurants on the pier, often with live music.

The Saco Drive-In is one of the oldest drive-in theaters in the country, offering a unique way to enjoy movies from the comfort of your car. It has been a beloved spot for many since the late 80s, providing a great movie selection and a casual food menu. The venue offers a nostalgic trip into the past with its family-friendly atmosphere and under-the-stars viewing experience.
It all started here for me in the late 80s when I came with friends to watch the original "Die Hard" and "Batteries not Included". One of the last Drive Ins around! The folks who run this place do an amazing job and have kept this place going. Great movie selection, good assortment of hot food and drinks. Nice family atmosphere. I have frequented this place since a child and now bring my own family several times per season. My favorite high school history teacher use to run the old projector (RIP Mr. Galbraith) and it was always great to see him here. A couple years back I joined the local car club for a private showing of "Fast and Furious" which was super cool. Looking forward to many return visits!

I hadn’t been since the old location and I was disappointed. We were in the front row to begin with since my daughter has vision problems and the picture quality was not good at all (blurry and dark). Only half of the screen had the movie playing and the screen seemed a lot smaller than the old location. I gave it two stars because there was plenty of space and wasn’t crowded. $30 per vehicle seemed reasonable for the prior location, but too much for the overall quality for this location. Just not for us. We unfortunately won’t be back and don’t recommend.

Everyone was getting annoyed and the excitement of the drive in faded and everyone wanted to leave. I had to find an employee and ask what was going on I was informed they were having projection problems so I asked if we wanted to leave could we be refunded he said no we don’t do that he didn’t even have the courtesy of turning around and looking at me. Very disappointed. I do not recommend going here. Waste of time and money.

Did not have have drive in feel, more like the backyard of a local dad gone overboard. The sound was not in stero and came over awful, the picture wasn't even in movie format, it was in TV format. Certainly not worth the price of admission let alone my time. Very disappointed

I was really excited to go to one of the oldest drive ins in the country. But all the cute pictures of this drive in were from years ago and not current. Didn’t realize we’d be in a giant parking lot with one of the smallest screens. We left 15 minutes into the movie because we were getting absolutely destroyed by mosquitoes since it’s next to a waterpark. And the car next to us had a delay on their radio, making the audio eco and repeat, which made watching the movie also impossible.

We bought a ticket for Jurassic World Rebirth and How to Train Your Dragon. The movie was supposed to start at 8:40, but the projector had issues and they had to push it back. We left at 9:30, and the movie had not even started yet. The issues were not communicated and no refunds were offered to us when we asked. The workers were rude and disrespectful. Complete waste of my time and 30$.

Brewery
Barreled Souls Brewing is a unique brewery that offers a variety of lesser-known beer styles with unconventional ingredients such as apples, cinnamon, cucumbers, dried hibiscus flowers, and even bacon. The cozy tasting room provides a relaxing escape from the bustling Route One. Visitors can expand their beer horizons by trying out their stouts and sours. The brewery also focuses on barrel aging to create distinct flavors in their beers.
Love the vibe of this place! Love to sit outside with a flight and socialize with friends. They make some of the best stouts. Highly recommend!
Myriah T — Google review
Fantastic brewery with a food truck on site. The only reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 is the interior atmosphere can get too loud for any conversation (when it's busy) and the beer menu can sometimes lean too far into one style. A much better mix lately although alcohol percentages are high so it's not always possible to try more than one flight (bring friends and share). Outside food is also allowed and plenty of space for groups.
Christina M — Google review
If I lived local this would be one of the only breweries I would visit. Their beers were the best in Maine and I mean THE BEST. Yes they had tons of sours which I enjoy (Ripples was my favorite) but all of their beers had an amazing flavor. A lot of breweries will state ingredients but you can’t really taste them. These beers you can. The space is perfect between the relaxing darker inside to the bright sunny yard space. 10/10

One of the best sour beers I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back there in the summer so I can sit outside sipping their delicious beers.
David L — Google review
This was a wonderful brewery with a very strong & perhaps solely focused on barrel aging. I have to admit, this was a quick stop & we had plenty other breweries to visit so we couldn't drink too much & stay too long. The walk in is like walking into the bottom of a mansion with a great vibe. They have a food truck & a large seating area outside. If ever back this way, I intend to call in for a longer visit for sure. The staff was very helpful & kind to us when we asked for samples.

Love this place! Old barrels make for a great ambiance. Tons of sours on tap. Four samples per flight. Fantastic outdoor terrace under the protection of trees. Stouts were too sweet for my liking, but plenty of well crafted IPAs and sours to choose from.
Derek S — Google review
Banana bread barley wine was the best beer I had here today. Tried two flights Dark Matter was second favorite. Weather was amazing, go around back for brewery. The front of building is a law office.
Rick T — Google review
Barreled Souls is tucked away in the basement of a law office. Minimal signage outside, but a full parking lot gives away what's hidden within. A dark and intimate interior gives speakeasy vibes. Tons of barrel aged offerings (duh) and sours. Be forewarned, a lot of these beers come in over 10%, so indulge responsibly! The barely wine was heavenly, I can't wait to come back for more.

After a long drive from NY to OOB, I needed a light meal. This place was only steps away so stopped by. I ordered their beet salad and a red sangria. The greens in the salad was super fresh; however, there wasn’t enough feta and no apple. It seemed small for a $16 salad and the sangria tasted a little weak to me although it was refreshing. As I watched pizza get pizza, it seemed that was the popular order and looked good. The outdoor seating is great for a place like OOB with the beach only across the street.

The Oh-J ipa is heavenly! Goes down smooth for an 8.1%. The flavor is perfectly juicy as well. The clam chowder was decent. Not a whole lot of flavor with the soup or the lemon dill lobster roll. But hey, it’s lobster!
Laura M — Google review
We stopped by for drinks and lunch, enjoyed the lobster rolls, especially the lemon dill. Staff were friendly, I liked the orange seltzer, and they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to relax. We visited again on Friday morning to try the Holy Donut pop-up, because we were curious about potato donuts. Not our cup of tea, but glad we tried them!

After spending the last 2 days (9-10) hours touring the mountains of VT and NH on my motorcycle, I pointed myself to Maine. Ended up in Old Orchard for no particular reason. Starving and thirsty, this place had some great reviews. Chose a local IPA (awesome BTW) and their doughboy BLT. HOLY BACON BATMAN! One of the best sandwiches I have ever had, hands down. Slab bacon too, not the discount bacon strips. Soooo good. Not a foodie. Don’t leave many reviews, but when I do it’s always well deserved. Great atmosphere, fire pit. Past tourist season. So it’s how I like it, quiet. Stop by, you will not be disappointed.

Stopped into Lone Pine for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The outdoor area was fantastic for kids to hang out while waiting for food and they thoroughly enjoyed that the Amtrak passed by feet away from the back fence. The food was delicious. The pizza was perfectly done with a crispy crust, the right amount of toppings and very tasty ingredients. The kids loved the cheese and the pepperoni was among my favorites. The double pepperoni had Demi style large pepperoni under the cheese and pepperoni cups on top. We also got a gyro chicken sandwich that had perfectly cooked, flavorful chicken. The beers were all good and overall price wasn’t bad. Would highly recommend.

Food was mediocre at best. We left most of the food at the table. Our server, Katie, wasn’t the greatest either, she started ok but went downhill pretty quickly. She brought water for the table and had her thumbs inside the cups, we opted for drinking the water we brought with us. We didn’t say anything as they were busy so we chalked it up to that and moved on. However, once the food came, I mentioned my burger was missing cheese when I mentioned that I had ordered it with cheese, her answer was “No, you did not”, seriously?

For those with medical pass access, the service at Shannon's Best Buds is matched by great prices, clear options, much patience and solid product variety. The atmosphere feels quite interesting and is actually quite safe. It's seemingly -in words- a bit of an adventure, even with Google, to locate.However, once calling, the very precise homestretch directions are excellent, ultimately off major roads and easy to follow nearing the relatively unique commercial threshold. A strong reco for providing excellent personal service! and value

The Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful matching the best strain for my needs or symptoms. The cannabis is top notch in every way, and the prices are very reasonable.

Stopped at Definitive beer garden on a cloudy afternoon and was the perfect way to spend a less than perfect beach day. Beers are excellent (I tried multiple sours, a Kolsch, and their hard seltzer). There is food there as well and my lobster roll and apple slaw were tasty. Definitely more my style of place to hang as I’m not much for the boardwalk and ending up staying there for several hours and even went back the next day. Derek is awesome! So chill, knowledgeable, and helpful. I thank Definitive for making my short Maine trip awesome!
