We had a great dinner at Fisherman's Catch! The food was excellent--I had the Fish & Chips, which were perfectly crispy and fresh, and my wife absolutely loved the Lobster Tacos with fries. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially with the views of the marsh. It's a classic Maine spot, and the service was friendly. We would love to see a few more local options added to the beer list to really round out the experience, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! read more

Fisherman's Catch has continued to evolve since changing hands a few years ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior space was renovated, the restrooms were moved to make the indoors dining space bigger and another outdoor dining space was created.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They've recently instituted a 4 course lobster bake, which we have yet to try. The staff are still lovely, the service is good and the food is excellent. They're one of the best at making fried seafood. I had the whole belly clams and scallops today and they were cooked perfectly, with accompanying crispy fries. Even the coleslaw was great. Didn't have the chowder today, but it's reliably excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only negative is the use of disposables plates, cups and utensils.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The combination of food and ambience makes Fisherman's Catch a not to be missed restaurant. It's usually our first meal after arriving in Ogunquit. For the comb read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful setting very close to Wells Harbor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was casual and nice to sit indoors in the AC after a short wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The setup out back for the lobster boil ($75 pp) looked like fun!! Lobster roll was okay. Fried clams were better. If I went back, I'd skip lobster and go with the fried food. read more

Best seafood on the planet!!! Love that place!! I go up for a week and I eat there 3 times!! Dont change a thing!! read more

First off, the service staff was excellent! Very friendly staff and they were in top of cleaning the place and were all smiles. The problem is the prices. I mean come on, 35.99$ for a lobster roll!!?!? And not only that but it was super small. Literally 3 bites and it was gone and I was still hungry. It didn't even come with fries, just a small bag of chips and a quarter of a pickle. I would understand 25$ because we're eating out but 35.99$ is highway robbery. Thank God I opted for adding bacon to the lobster roll bc it made it seem a tiny bit bigger but for 36$ I expected double the size and a side of fries. I doubt there was a lb of lobster on it and if there was, it was weighed down by the mayo. read more

Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite stops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip. read more

First, thank you for staying open into the off season!! I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite being off Route 1 in Wells the location is picturesque and quiet due to it being on a dead end road, with just a marina past it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Looks like it's been around for decades and like a Maine seafood shack, rather than a chain restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu has expected Maine/New England types of chowder and seafood. Service was quick and friendly. Food was generous and well prepared. Not a fancy atmosphere, but good value food and a quiet, scenic view to go with it read more

Service was excellent our waitress was very informative and friendly. I ordered clam chowder and it was very delicious with nice size chunks of clam in it. We tried the sweet potato fries and they were fresh like they cut them fresh daily. Definitely coming back to try the other seafood options. read more

I have never bothered to write a non-5-star review because I think it's important to support small businesses. The food overall was alright, but it was overpriced. The prices were not listed for any item, which is unusual. Of course, I expect "market price" on some items. We ordered takeout, and the wait was a little over 30 minutes. The lobster roll was around $37, and the portion was not generous. The restaurant is in a beautiful location, and the staff were friendly. However, my family won't be returning. read more

Food is authentic Maine! Amazing cold lobster roll, just the right ratio of Lobster Mayonnaise and flavor, served on the correct square bun! The Clam Chowder is most definitely possibly the best ever. The servers are attentive and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is beachy crossed with fishing dock, without the fishy smells.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

if you are looking for a quiet, intimate dinner - don't go. If you want ambiance - don't go. But if you want good seafood, good service and don't mind dining picnic style, on paper plates with plastic utensils, the Fisherman's Catch is a great option. The fried fish was perfect! Golden brown, tender and flaky and absolutely fresh. Portions were large, service good. A bit pricy for the atmosphere but you won't be disappointed in the food. read more

Unfortunately this establishment does not accept criticism from the consumers. Ordered a scallop box and was only given 5 for $45. Not only is not market pricing but it down right highway robbery. I informed them that this was insufficient for the amount charged. They would not refund my money as the scallops were never eaten. Poor customer service and portions are NOT the way to conduct business in such a high demand area. I would NOT recommend this establishment and would recommend NOT taking a second mortgage on your home just to have 5 scallops. read more

Absolutely love this place and everything about it . It is one of our favorite places to go to . We love the fact they allow you to order drinks as you wait outside for your table . read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It is what it is: a funky Seafood joint on the seashore. Way casual with picnic tables indoors and out; plastic utensils and plastic glasses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But, remember, you're going for the food. It's outstanding. Today we had the Calamari. It was fresh, moist, and tender. Served with Marinara, or you can choose tartar sauce. We surprised ourselves with how good the cheeseburger was. Had to try it, as it was National Beef Burger Day. Tasty, properly cooked. Fries excellent. Our server, Olivia, had a bright, cheerful personality. Prices a little high for a beach joint. Still it's a superb example of one. In Wells you gotta try it. read more

Thanks to the amazing Yelp community a recent visit had me pick this place to eat. The place was packed at 1:30 in the afternoon almost didn't find a place to park. We opted to sit outside but inside was full. Our waitress Susan M was a ball of energy. We asked for her recommendation and she knew the menu very well and took the time to describe different menu items. My friend and I (at her suggestion) ordered the fisherman's platter scallops, shrimp, clam strips (also a clam belly option) and haddock. It came with Cole slaw and fries. We also each had a fountain drink which was refilled. The scallops were the best I ever had in my life and I have had them right off the boat. The just melted like butter in my mouth. The haddock was also a winner. The shrimp and clams were good. There was a lot for two people . Everything was hot and very fresh even the roll. There was enough leftover for another meal. Market priced I figured would be pricey but the goal bill was 45.00. They split are bill with no problem. Susan also recommended the bread pudding but we were too full that day. Next time. Also had shirts and souvenirs for sale. read more

Great spot for classic Maine seafood with a fun, laid-back vibe. I had the lobster roll--packed with fresh, sweet lobster meat and just the right amount of dressing. Definitely hit the spot. I also tried the vodka blueberry lemonade, and it was so refreshing. Perfect drink for a summer day by the water. The outdoor seating was a nice bonus, giving it that true coastal Maine feel. Service was friendly and quick, and the menu had plenty of options if you're craving more than just lobster. Prices are what you'd expect for a good seafood place in Maine--worth it for the quality. Overall, a great stop and one I'd definitely come back to! read more

Long wait to receive our food lobster rolls were snack sized smallest ones I've had for $36 with a pickle and a bag of chips. You can not substitute a side on tacos even though other side items are listed so was stuck with fries. They charge $4.50 for a soda ouch! The staff was was not personable very robot like. read more

I am a sucker for a good old-timey fish shanty and the Fisherman's Catch is just that. It has all the charm. They even had live music on their outdoor patio. We arrived at about 1ish on a Thursday and the place was packed. I always figure that a full parking lot is a good sign. We ordered light. Just some fried clam strips and a cup of clam chowder. Yes. Yes. Yes. Rich, creamy and flavorful chowder. Not thin, but not thick, just creamy. No extra "stuff" in it. So good. The breading on the strips was a crispy , lights coating. Nice and crunchy. Perfectly fried, not rubbery. You can taste the freshness in these clams. Sweet and delicious. read more

I could give zero stars I would. Our family came in looking to have a nice dinner we waited about 1.5 hrs for a table, understandable because we were a large party on a holiday weekend. We were sat outside. We ordered one drink and those came in about 30 minutes and then our waitress completely disappeared. We waited and waited and waited for another 1.5 hours no food. No refills of water or any of our other drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's 95 degrees out and we have three children with us... The restaurant had closed at that point and no sign of the waitress or our food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My sister went up to the front of the house to ask for her food to go because we had small children with us and at this point it's 9:15pm and we were getting attacked by bugs and mosquitos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The manager at the time came up to us and sincerely apologized and comped our meals 50% which was lovely of her (she was very nice and apologetic). As we were leaving after being there for hours, the entire kitchen staff was clapping watching us walk out. We thought that maybe they were happy they finished the night but they still have 10-15 tables filled with people also waiting hours and hours for their food. That's when we realized they were clapping because we were leaving. I've never felt so disrespected leaving a restaurant in my entire life and myself and my family will never be back. We were excited to go out and get icecream with the children after we left but everything was closed because it was literally 10pm .... Mind you we showed up at 6pm. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had great seats in the cute little caboose and listened to live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very relaxing vibe here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The calamari was excellent and the caesar salads with buffalo shrimp were super yummy.

We have been eating here for 25 years and up until recently I would have given them five stars. No more.

This place reeks tourist trap. read more

First of all, Lobster Roll was $37 dollars with 3 oz of Lobster (if that) and it only came with chips and pickle. Second Clam Roll came with chips not fries, I have never seen that at a seafood restaurant. Fountain Soda was $4.50 that is crazy. I asked if I could have Onion Rings instead of Fries and the server said we don't do that here (I would have paid extra). They did it last year guess they have changed. Won't be going back! read more

This spot is definitely a hit if you're into fried seafood--everything was fresh and well-prepared. We ordered the Captain's Meal for two along with a few extras like soup and calamari, and it was all super tasty. That said, we didn't realize the whole menu leaned so heavily on fried items, which isn't totally our thing. We probably would've ordered a bit differently had we known. Still, the quality was solid, and it's a great option if you're craving that classic seafood shack read more

Smallest lobster roll I've ever had at normal mkt price. Walked out more hungry than when I walked in.

Cool place off the beaten path great friendly service clam chowder was really good had the usual fried scallops clams everything above average. For the price would like to get my beer in a glass and metal utensils... disposable everything else is fine read more

Decided to have lunch at Fisherman's Catch while we were in Wells today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you enjoy fresh, fresh seafood in a casual setting that is warm, inviting and pristine clean...then this is the place for you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband had a cup of clam chowder and the seafood platter: fried haddock, shrimp, scallops and whole belly clams with fries, coleslaw and a roll. He said the chowder was a perfect blend of cream, butter, clams and potatoes. The fried platter was enough for two people so my husband did take a doggy bag with him. My fried calamari also came with coleslaw, fries and a roll. The fried seafood is cooked in fresh clean oil, light in color and tastes delicious. Their cooks know how to prepare fresh seafood spectacularly! Our server Ani provided exceptional service. She checked in on us three times, providing refills and making sure we enjoyed our dining experience. We did! read more

Fisherman's Catch is a favorite of my husband's as he has been coming to visit since he was a kid. I, being a vegetarian, was very reluctant to join him here for lunch, but am glad that I did. It is adorable inside, and the service was great. They really make you want to stay and hang out for a while. He got a huge clam platter and said it was awesome - I had a giant basket of onion rings and was pretty thrilled, too. My only wish was that they had something vegetarian-friendly on the menu (but most seafood places do not). If you love seafood and ambiance, this is your spot! read more

Waze blew us off course on our regular routine going to Maine. After missing an exit, we decided to try something new instead of backtracking. This proved to be an excellent decision! This place looks like a seafood restaurant from the minute you pull up, until you get inside. Paper towels hanging from the ceiling, nice solid wood tables, and delicious looking food everywhere in sight! We were stopping for lunch, so we decided to try their chowder, and split some onion rings and fried clams. The chowder was the best thick chowder I had probably ever had. I could order this by the gallon to take home! The clams were probably the best that I have had all season, and the onion rings were delicious as well. I can't wait until we go back to Maine in the spring to come here again as our first stop! read more

This was our first dining experience in Maine. We ordered a cup of clam chowder and it was fine. The fried clams were market price and surprisingly unsatisfying. Perhaps I should have tried the clam strips. Service was fine. My overall experience didn't match the high Yelp rating. To be fair, I did not order an entree so perhaps their main entrees are much better. read more
