    two bowls of food on a picnic table
    Naomi R.

    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!

    Clam chowder, fish & chips (all GF) both were delicious
    Holly B.

    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!

    Lobster roll with fries

    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.

    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

    Menu -order at counter then carry food to dining area.

    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! :)

    Whoopie pie, blue berry pie, brownie and beignets. The beignets were probably the best.

    Very nice people working here, My family and I sampled most of the desserts on the menu. The deserts here will get you a quick fix.

    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!

    Pepper's Seafood Co - Grilled haddock tacos

    Best food in Ogunquit!…read more The haddock sandwich and chowder were fresh, filling, and flavorful. The kids' meal with haddock was also high quality and felt like "real food". Plus, the broccoli it came with was cooked so well that my kids gobbled it up. Service was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. View from the outdoor patio felt like the right space from Main Street without being isolated. Wish I came back!

    Pepper's Seafood has a lot of potential, but our experience was disappointing because of issues…read morethat seemed to stem from management rather than the staff working the floor. We arrived without a reservation and were told there would be about an hour wait. The host came across as a bit snarky, although he did offer us seats at the bar, which we appreciated. After being seated, it took about 30 minutes before anyone took our order, followed by another 40 minutes before our food arrived. The bartenders were working incredibly hard and were clearly doing everything they could to keep up with the rush, so I don't fault them at all. Unfortunately, one of our meals arrived cold and was extremely over-salted. The restaurant refunded that dish without hesitation, which I appreciated, but it shouldn't have left the kitchen that way in the first place. From what we could see, the kitchen was seriously backed up and the overall operation wasn't being managed well. The staff deserved better support because they were hustling nonstop while trying to deal with unhappy customers. I hope management addresses these issues because the employees are putting in the effort. With better kitchen execution and smoother operations, this could be a much better dining experience.

    We took our small family to an early dinner at crooked pine. We made a reservation for 4:30 (one of…read morethe few times they had available on this rainy day). We sat at a table by the window on the first floor. We overheard that there is an upstairs bar, not sure if they also seat folks for dinner there. We were able to place an order right after getting settled. We enjoyed the Sun mocktail, charred beet salad, mac and cheese, fried codd sandwich, steak frites, and corn ravioli (without the pancetta). My spouse is gluten free and I am vegetarian so we are always looking for restaurants that can accommodate both. The charred beet salad was good but I think dressed a bit too heavily. I thought the corn ravioli and sun mocktail were both great. The kids (ages 1.5 and 5) liked the Mac and cheese and fried cod sandwich. They did not have any appropriate booster seats for the 1.5 year old so my spouse held him. My spouse loved the steak frites but I think wished had a few more "frites" given the amount of interest from the younger crowd. Our waiter was wonderful and also brought some orange slices from the bar for the kids. We were very grateful. We decided to go nearby for ice cream after dinner, but I heard there is a dessert menu.

Gosh, you just hope you made a memorable choice for the right reasons. We did - we both felt we not only received value for our dining dollars, we felt cared for by the staff and satiated by the kitchen. People like sitting outside - so the reservations reflected that and we could only be seated inside. Was not a disappointment to be seated inside. I highly recommend this restaurant. I had a steak sandwich and my dining partner had a chicken sandwich. Both were really tasty and well prepared. We only had water to drink and that was not a problem. I feel many times if I don't order an app or a drink a server becomes less friendly. That wasn't our experience here. I don't believe in over rewarding a place - but I feel a 4.5 out of 5 is appropriate. Since I can't give that - I rounded up to 5.

    My wife, children, grandchildren and parents have dined at M.C. Perkins Cove since the days of Mark…read moreand Clark. The food there is excellent. The menu varies by season and always reflects a local Maine touch. The appetizers are exquisite (Shellfish Tower, Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters, Salads and Chowders) and the entrees always tasteful whether its the lobster, salmon, scallops, which are always fresh , or the beef, chicken or duck dishes, all are perfectly cooked as ordered. The wine list is ample and if there is something that you want for a special occasion, you should call in advance and they may be able to order it. No guarantees but they try! And the desserts, well my mouth is watering as I write this. Please bring back the sticky toffee pudding!!! We have always found the wait staff to be professional, patient and polite. Dana and Javier have done a great job juggling the natural challenges in this area. Trainees shadow the pros and they learn how to handle the range of high-low and no maintenance guests. We have seen them all! The ambience is warm and inviting and of course, the many views of the cobalt blue Atlantic and Marginal Way from the roof deck and most tables simply wraps the entire dining experience into a magical evening. If you have never gone, plan your parking because like all great restaurants tucked into small seacoast towns in Maine, its is in short supply, and if you can't find it, there are pay-for parking options within a short 2 minute walk. So, all in all, you must take the time to visit M.C. Perkins Cove Restaurant when you are in Ogunquit.

    Service was pretty decent. Some times seemed to take a bit for our server to come by but nothing…read morecrazy. Pretty place on the water, so great view. My martini was perfect, but food left a lot to be desired. I was debating between the mac & cheese (without lobster) and the stuffed leeks. The server convinced me to get the stuffed leeks. When they came out, the leeks themselves/the filling were room temp (like not hot or cold), but the sauce around it was hot, which I thought was odd. It almost seemed like the leeks had been sitting out for a while and then the sauce was poured on at the last second. I didn't want to sound crazy by asking the server if the dish should be warm, so shortly after receiving, I asked to order the kids mac & cheese. It was $16!!! For such a small portion. I didn't even finish 2/3 of the leeks and was kind of hoping to get it taken off our bill since I paid $28 for something I didn't end up eating due to how it was served/worry about food being left out and not properly heated. We had a hard time choosing where to eat because everything around the area had like three stars, but would come highly recommend recommended. This is one I think I would say could be skipped! My friend got the lobster croquettes and said the croquettes were warm and the lobster was cold. Not sure if that was intentional?
