A great little spot in Maine. The food was really good and the service was excellent. Overall just a really great spot with good food.

It's a fun venue where we attended a private event. The food was buffet style and I wish we would have been able to order off the full menu. The food in the buffet was okay, but nothing was a stand out. Their full menu looked great and I would give it another chance if I could order off of that menu. Overall rating would be 3.5. We did really like the drinks and both bartenders were great. read more

Ah, first night in Cape Neddick at Cliff House. Decided to stay at the hotel and tried Nubbs. It was quite disappointing. We ordered the burnt ends, fish and chips and the lobster roll....$130 with the tip!! The burnt ends were just chunked brisket and no burnt ends to be seen. And this dish should be called tater tots with a few pieces of fatty non burnt brisket. The fish and chips was very fishy. The lobster roll had just 5oz of lobster and that was okay. This place is heavy on the tater tots....like tons and tons of tater tots!!! Don't waste your time here. Really hoping the other restaurants on premises are okay as we have reservations coming up. Just cannot believe we spent $130 for a meal that literally gagged us out. read more

As a guest at the Cliff House, Nubbs was a convenient choice for lunch by the pool! We shared the chicken tenders, which had a nice crunch from the cornflake breading. We also enjoyed the fries which had some old bay seasoning sprinkled on top. The smell of their cooking takes over the lower level of the resort and always had us hungry! read more

Afternoon snack. Lobster rolls and fries. Fries were cold. Sent that back. Lobster cooked ok but flavor very bland. Does not fit the quality of this place. I would expect more read more

Nubbs...so delicious...I'm still dreaming about that lobster roll. My order go-to...many times...was the Lobster Roll and then a blueberry soda. We visited multiple times during our trip and were never disappointed. read more

I was expecting overpriced crap but it was relatively reasonable to where it's located and very good. I would've given five stars if the bartender wasn't such a moody cranky B. She was atrocious and made a terrible drink. Lobster roll was yummy, clams were delish, to sweet potato tots are worth the upcharge but don't sleep on the Greek salad- that was fab! read more

Good food I like the tater tots. Service good it takes about 8-15 depending on what you get. The ambiance is nice there are TV's and when it is nice there is outside seating with a view of the ocean. Overall pretty good would probably recommend 4 stars. read more

Absolutely beautiful location. Food was delicious. All GF, too. Best French fries I've eaten in a while. Counter service was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. No complaints. Great food at comparable prices with an amazing view. It's a bit out of the way but definitely worth the brief ride! read more

Was looking for a place to eat before meeting someone onsite at the Cliff House. Nubb's seemed perfect. It was the perfect location and it does have the cutesy factor but resort pricing and resort ambiance would lead me off site if I had the time to spare. Orders are taken as you enter the restaurant, a walk up ordering station where you order, pay and receive a buzzer to take to your table. Menu is classic lobster shack menu with resort pricing. The tables are a mix of indoor upscale picnic tables and regular tables. There is a bar in the restaurant and they serve a very good selection of local beers, this gets high marks! There were a couple of groups in the restaurant and they were having a good time. My lobster roll was fine, not one I would seek out. Fries were crinkle fries and looked and tasted like frozen fries. Coleslaw allocation was small, but it was good. So, overall I think Nubb's is good but I would not consciously come again unless I was staying at the resort or was pressed for time - meeting someone at the resort. read more

Great fried seafood with a twist that makes it just different enough from the typical New England clam shacks. Prices were surprisingly reasonable, and the views were spectacular. read more

One of, if not THE best lobster rolls I've ever had. Get it Connecticut style with extra brown butter on the side. The whoopie pie was also surprisingly good! One day, we tried the bbq sampler (brisket, piled pork, chicken) and it was meh. Stick to what Maine does best and you won't be disappointed. Service is always pretty quick and friendly. And you can eat overlooking the water (but the globes cost like 250 to rent, womp womp). read more

Always a pleasure to eat here when staying at the Cliff house. The lobster rolls are meaty and delicious. This time we also tried the big lobster, which was exceptional. Prices are good, ambiance is casual and views are spectacular read more

If you're looking for lobster everything along with ambiance, look no further!! First time here, I wanted a lobster roll but after seeing more on menu, chose a trio of rolls-lobster, crab & shrimp! Sooo good! I love that they had malt on the tables to have with my fries!! Yum! Cute rustic decor & of course the views are gorgeous! On other side of counter is more to the menu -tons of ways to get tater tots -hubby ordered lobster, brown buttered with cheese curds & whoa!!! I will be back! :) read more

Nubbs lobster shack! Well you have to really be looking for it to find it! But when you do, you will have a great lobster roll with a breath taking view. The lobster was tossed in mayo and butter at our request. The lobster was tender and roll perfectly toasted. Located near the pool area of the resort. So find it and you will find the lobster Roll you have been looking for! read more

Review is based on the approach and the atmosphere only. I didn't eat there, because the approach was that unappealing. It was a lonnngg walk from the parking lot to the front door of the resort, then a trek down a long hallway to where the restaurant is, which is across the hall from the indoor pool reeking of chemicals. That stench is wafting into the entryway of the dining room. You get treated to the sight of a crowd of hotel guests milling around in their pool attire and hotel robes. Then, be warned, it's one of those places where you place an order at a counter, and I guess they bring the food to your table? Or maybe they call out your number, like a drive-in from the 1960's? Either way, if I'm paying $36 for a lobster roll, I'd like full table service. The menu is underwhelming for such a lovely resort. I get the feeling that because they have you there, a good distance just to the parking lot, somewhat isolated, you'll deal with this bowling-alley snack bar crap for the convenience. Couldn't do it. read more

Reasonable choice for lunch if you're onsite. The lobster roll was fine, but could have been a bit bigger. The pulled pork sandwich was solid. The Greek salad with grilled chicken was inedible and had to be returned. All else being equal, I would rather put on dry clothes and have lunch at the Tiller. read more

Our first night at the resort, we decided to eat here for a low key dinner. I got the fish n chips with sweet potato tots, my husband got the blackened haddock sandwich with French fries. I had to send back my haddock, it was so over cooked it was almost like jerky. They made me a new one which was better, still dry. The blackened haddock was a lot better, not dried out and very flavorful. The sweet potato tots stole the show over the haddock. It's ok if you don't want to leave the resort, and want a decent meal. read more

Stopped for the view and thought their food must be good. We were wrong about the food. We got the clam chowder and mostly potatoes but flavor was good. Definitely need some clams in there! Beer was warm, had to pour it over ice to drink it. We were not there long. Good place to have a drink and sit on the patio. That's about it. read more

Vegetarian perspective. Nice selection of salads. The Greek salad was full of vegetables with a nice light dressing. The vegetarian burger was ok, nice avocado and sauce. Fries were really good, crinkly and crispy. Skip the grilled cheese. Great atmosphere. Order at counter and you get a buzzer to alert you that food is ready. Everyone working there was nice, helpful and professional. As the casual restaurants at Cliff House, it would have been nice to see a vegetarian entree that wasn't a burger or grilled cheese. Would definitely eat there again. The vegetarian selection at Tillers was minimal, so we ate here a couple times. read more

Best lobster roll I've had in Maine thus far and I've had at least one a day for the last three days. Order it warm, with butter rather than the traditional cold way. The way they crisp the bun and the sweetness of the bun, couldn't compare to Barnacle Billy's or the foot bridge lobster shack in Perkins cove. The location is on the east side of the Cliff House hotel so you'll have a view of the Atlantic while you partake of your lobstah. Clam chowder didn't wow me. It's nothing to write home about so I probably wouldn't order it here again. read more

The whitest tacos ever I saw "spicy poboy shrimp tacos" and thought what could go wrong? The combination of poboy and taco should have tipped me off that much, indeed, could go wrong. The taco had a base of cold, dry tortilla. Then some dry broccoli slaw with no dressing or vinegar. To make up for all the dryness, the shrimp were coated in gobs of thick, pinkish mayo! Why would anybody do this to shrimp? There were some pickled onions on top, but they could not do much to save this shipwreck of a dish. read more

Their food is absolutey great. I recommend the lobster roll and their fries are amazing. Their service is also amazing and the atmosphere is amazing with great views. And their s'mores ice cream is amazing read more

Nicely designed with beautiful view. Meal?! Meal is just as awful as it could be...burned swordfish! You can see that the kabobs is super dry. The menu says "veggies"...I must say that it's not lying but be ready for just a lot of onions and a few cuts of peppers as veggies. Waste of $24 read more

Great location onsite for a quick bite to eat when sitting by the pool. The portions of the lobster rolls are small as other reviewers have mentioned, but mine was delicious.

If you're looking for a delicious lobster roll and a comfortable atmosphere, this is the place! You order at the counter and take device that will alert you when your meal is ready for pick up. Meanwhile you can visit the bar to grab any beverage to bring back to your table or to enjoy at the bar seating. There are a variety of tvs mounted on the walls and at the far end of the restaurant there is a foosball table and shuffleboard. The lobster is fresh and plentiful and the atmosphere is casual and fun. We'll definitely be back in summertime to take advantage of the extensive porch and outdoor or seating! read more

Sean is the BEST. He's so helpful and gives the best recommendations that don't disappoint. The Caesar salad is great, lobster tachos, and do not sleep on the chicken fingers - absolutely delish. We love it up here and Sean is a big reason at the bar. read more

Had good hotdogs and chicken tenders the old bay fries, where great holy shit the s'mores ice cream is to die for

Customer service was good and space was eye grabbing with all the details in decoration. Food was tasteful and fresh. We tried the lobster roll, chicken, and fish and chips. Food was great portions for lunch. Tried the blueberry pie a la mode and it wasn't my favorite. Great little spot for lunch. read more

We have been here for the last two days. Both times, we've had to wait to be acknowledged by the staff. Our first visit, We did not know that you have to order at the window.. we sat down and neither server at the bar offered to help us. Food is just so-so. Very clumpy Mac and cheese. Chicken salad sandwich was good.Need to have a few more options since it's the only casual food option at Cliff House. Not a very good casual food establishment for this beautiful location read more

We recently stayed at the Cliff House and enjoyed a day at the beautiful pool with amazing views. We ordered lunch poolside and I have to say, the chicken salad sandwich I had was really good. Later that evening, we walked over to Nubb's for some dinner. After ordering our food, we sat at one of the outdoor picnic tables. I got up to go the men's room leaving my 2 daughters for a minute and turned around when I heard people screaming in time to see a huge seagull sweeping down and stealing my daughter's chicken tenders. One of the young men working inside saw what happened and quickly came over to make sure she was okay and offered to replace her food...which was very nice. I got up again to make another attempt at the men's room, turned around a minute later and the same dang bird swept down and stole my mini lobster roll. Crazy! We promptly moved inside as to not tempt that 'vulture' a third time. Diners beware! Aside from being in some sort of crazy Hitchcock film, albeit only 1 crazy bird, I have to say the food was very good. I had the mini trio rolls and the lobster roll was fantastic! I prefer it with melted butter rather than mayo but I know to locals, that might sound sacrilege. To each their own. My daughters chicken tenders were also really good. Friendly service...great food...great view...what more can you ask for on vacation...other than perhaps safety from the lurking pterodactyl. :) read more

A solid quick meal, with a variety of fresh options. The tater tots seem to be a hot item, but were sold out EVERY day of our trip! Lobster grilled cheese, crab cakes, and fries were all great. Clam chowder was just ok. Prices run on the high end but the location, view, and fresh quality made it worth it. read more

Convenient spot with quick service at the Cliff House resort, including full bar. I'm sure their lobster is very good, but wanted to try something a little different. I got the oyster roll (oysters lightly fried) on a niiicely buttered roll and it was DELICIOUS!! Also had the tuna poke bowl another day, tuna was juicy and tender but wasn't a big fan of the rest of it (mostly rice). But anyway, great place to grab lunch or a quick dinner. Try the locally made Whoopie pie for dessert :) read more

GREAT place for a Lobster roll!! Too bad they don't serve breakfast. In the winter they are are closed Tuesdays. The bartender (I wish I asked his name) is very friendly and helpful. The staff for food are also very pleasant. read more

Located at the Cliff House Resort, this lobster shack is a must if you're in the Ogunquit area. I will note that their prices run on the higher side, but the quality of their food makes up for it. The ambiance is very laid back, and in the summer you can eat outside by the pool. The first time I went here, I ordered the Maine lobster roll cooked with brown butter. It was by far the best lobster roll I've ever had, and you could tell the lobster was freshly caught. My mother ordered the clam roll, which she thought was delicious as well. The next time I went here, I tried the lobster hush puppies and the fish and chips. The lobster hush puppies were good, not great, and the fish and chips were super crispy and flavorful. They also have ice cream which was nice to have by the pool. read more
