Nice ambiance and friendly service and the food was okay. My wife and I shared a starter of portobello mushroom "fries" and these were not bad, accompanied with a ranch dressing sauce. I then had their fried chicken sandwich which incorporated their home brewed beer in the batter. The batter was good and the chicken was a large piece of breast meat but it was dry. The fries were okay, nothing special. My wife had the blackened haddock taco salad and she said it was okay but the haddock was also dry. However, the drinks are good, lively crowd (it was trivia night and the MC was a lot of fun), so all I. All it's not a bad place to spend a couple hours. read more

Pepper's Seafood Co, a restaurant named after a fisherman and friend, fully embraces its seaside town with a space that features exposed wood and nautical decor. It's a place that excels at great food, drinks, and camaraderie. The martini was a highlight. The cocktail glass was expertly chilled, and the beverage was vigorously shaken and then perfectly strained. It was finished with an even number of soft, salty olives. The attention to detail was impressive. The food was equally memorable. The staff was conscientious and knowledgeable, and I was thrilled to take advantage of the seafood specials. The fresh local oysters and amazingly seasoned calamari were particular standouts. Pepper Martin's legacy is evident in every aspect of the restaurant. I look forward to returning and making more memories with friends. Read more on IG: themartinibible read more

The good news was that they were still open for the season when we visited Ogunquit in late October. So many establishments were already closed. We had clam chowder and a haddock sandwich with sweet potato fries for a late lunch. The entree was $32. The piece of haddock was small. Service wasn't the friendliest. It felt like our server threw things at us, the menu, the check, as if he were so busy. Well, the place wasn't busy. Also, I wished we had known about their daily special. The special for Sunday was $22 for an entree and dessert. I saw one diner having haddock and asparagus for the special. That piece of fish was bigger than ours. All this just didn't make me feel good about eating here. Well, I was grateful that they were opened and we could use their bathroom. read more

We had a very nice lunch here. The prices cheap, but they're fair for the quality of the food. Aesthetically, very well done by management. Really get a sense of Maine and the coast in the design. Love the history. We recommend the seafood fried baskets. read more

Was able to snag a table on a busy Saturday night! Server was friendly, but service was slow. Food was mediocre for the price. Shrimp cocktail for $16 was overcooked and lacked flavor. Good kids menu and good value for the kids meals, though! read more

My husband and I were staying nearby during our roadtrip, the front desk at our hotel recommended Pepper's for lobster rolls. We arrived in the area late, and wanted a quick dinner stop. The vibes in the restaurant were fun, there was trivia going on and others having dinner as well. Service was great, our waitress was very friendly and checked up on us a couple times. Honestly, out of all the lobster spots we tried in Maine on our trip, I liked pepper's the best! read more

I visited Pepper's my first night in Ogunquit. Everything so great that I made sure to come back a second time before my trip was over! The wait staff was friendly and attentive. While waiting for food my party was checked in on multiple times for beverage refills. The food came out 10-15 minutes after ordering, both on the busy weekend night and the slower weekday night I dined here. I tried the perkins cove lobster roll as well the seasonal special, a havarti & bacon lobster grilled cheese. I have tried a number lobster rolls across the Northeast and the one from Pepper's may just be my favorite. The portion of lobster both times was generous and cooked to the perfect texture. The seafood rolls and sandwiches include a side of fries or chips as well as coleslaw, and altogether it made for a very filling meal. Pepper's has gluten-free buns available for their lobster rolls and my partner noted that it was good. As a starter, I ordered the New England clam chowder which was delicious. There was a nice amount of clams and the chowder was not too salty. The New England clam chowder at Pepper's is made gluten-free by default. For drinks, there is a full bar, cocktail list, and a number of beers on tap. Pepper's has their own draft beer, the champ lager, which was refreshingly light and worth a try. Overall, a fantastic and consistent experience. I will definitely be returning to Pepper's next time I visit Ogunquit. read more

My wife and I vacation in Ogunquit often, and this is the first time we've tried Pepper's Seafood. OMG is it good. So good that we ate dinner there two nights in a row. Pepper's Seafood is in downtown Ogunquit. Our vacation this year was short (2 nights) but if it was extended we would have gone back at least one more time. I am a lobster roll (buttered) fanatic. Mine was the best I've ever had. Perfect amount of butter on the roll so that it was not overly buttered. There was heaps of lobster in the roll, and it was delicious. I also love lightly fried scallops, and Pepper's offers an appetizer sized portion. Just right with my lobster roll. Pepper's is on my list when we return for our next vacation. If you love good seafood...if you love lobster rolls (they have 4 types, I believe)....if you love really good fried seafood...pay Pepper's Seafood a visit. I think you'll be very satisfied. read more

Popped in for a quick lunch, and had a solid cheeseburger and fries. Nothing super special but it got the craving satisfied. They even serve the kids meals in a cardboard boat-shaped bowl, which made for a fun dining experience. Quick and nice service too. Good midweek lunch spot! read more

Great food and service! We had Pepper's for dinner on our first night in town, and had a great experience. Lobster roll, chicken salad wrap, and spinach artichoke dip were all very good! read more

Fantastic Lunch!!! We had a wonderful meal here while staying in Ogunquit for several days. We started with Crabcakes that were excellent. Then, at the recommendation of our server, my husband had the Weekend Special of Lobster Fettuccine (sorry, not sure if this is the correct name of the dish, as it was on a separate menu only good through Sept 28th). It was phenomenal, with a spinach, garlic, butter sauce that they could bottle and sell, it was THAT good! I had the Cranberry Chicken Walnut Wrap, which was also good. But we couldn't get enough of the Lobster Fettuccine, which I was dipping my fries in...so, so good! Quick, friendly service. A choice of either indoor or patio seating. I'm not sure why this place wasn't PACKED, like other restaurants in town. We'd HIGHLY recommend it. read more

What a cool place to hang out at. We sat at the bar and had such amazing service..: it was a very rainy night and not many people were out. I ordered the crab quesadillas and was very surprised at how damn delicious they were. I enjoyed a few different pints of some local draft beer... the bartender let us try a few different ones. This place was great, they welcomed us I like locals. Can't wait to go back! read more

Hands down the best hot lobster roll we've had in maine. It was the OGT. Two other customers said the same thing. I got haddock basket too and it was fantastic. Highly recommend both. The kids meals come in cute boats! The baskets are metal in the shape of a boat. The drink was amazing too. read more

Had a good lunch at Peppers Seafood. It's located right in the heart of downtown Ogunquit, so it's a good place to stop while in the area. I started with a cup of clam chowder. It has that classic buttery taste which is my favorite type of chowder, so I really enjoyed this one. I then got their Lobster Roll, "Mount Aggie" style. What's cool about this place is you can order your lobster roll in different ways, which I've never seen before. The "Mount Aggie" style was mayo and hot butter--YUM. Fries were a perfect crisp and nice and hot. Lobster was good too, pretty good size and it came on a toasted roll. We ended with the Funny Bone cake which is made locally down the road at Bread & Roses Bakery. It's a chocolate cake layered with peanut butter cream. It was so good! Food took a little while to come out and it was a little pricey for a lunch but it was a good experience overall! They have only been open since summer 2023 so for being so new I was impressed! read more

Came to my favorite place by the sea in Ogunquit. Stayed near the center, so when walking around for a place for lunch/dinner, saw this place. The menu had seafood, which I love , plus other things. Decided to come and so glad I did! First, the place is very cute and cozy. The ocean and outdoor theme is all around with plants and pictures of lobster. Very bright inside and friendly waitstaff. Found out this is a new restaurant. Very new in fact, just opened last July. We started with the clam chowder soup. It was very good! One of my favorites so far My daughter and I had to get the lobster roll, which is called Mount Aggie, which I looked up and found it's a real mountain in York. Well Mount Aggie was a huge hit! It was served both hot and cold style, with good portions of lobster. Some rolls are low on the lobster but not this one! It came with French fries and cold slaw. All very good! We had dessert and wow, it blew me away. It was called Funny bone cake, a chocolate and peanut butter cream filling with chocolate ganache coating. Really good!! I am so happy I came and will visit again when the come back to Ogunquit! You must try it when in town. You'll be glad you did. read more

Server was friendly and we were seated fast. Ordered a cold beer with crab quesadillas and clam strips. Clam strips needed more seasoning in the batter, not exceptional but good. the quesadillas were tasty. It's a little loud due to the crowds but good for a quick bite to eat. read more

Food was definitely fresh and good. However, I felt for the price we did not get what we paid for. I got a lunch haddock basket and the piece of fish was less than a deck of cards. I dug for a second piece. There was none. They filled the basket with fries which again were tasty but basically $17 for a small piece of fish and fries. The seafood chowder was $30 and good but to me way overpriced. The peppers calamari was not hot and got soggy with the peppers on top. The steamers were good but again not worth the price of $28 for roughly 20 clams. Not sure I'd go back. I get it's ogunquit but there are other place you get what you deserve for the money. read more

Pepper's Seafood Co - Lunch haddock basket - Seafood Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

The restaurant has a great back story but the service is appalling. The hostess was rude and the manager Quinn couldn't care less. We ate almost only soup and it took over an hour to get it. The owner needs to make changes very badly. I almost never give 1 star but it can't be helped. I enjoyed my soup and the gumbo was good. However, the lobster we added to the spinach dip was horrible. This is not what you would expect in Maine. The ambiance is ok but it was clear the locals were served first and treated differently. I'm not saying you shouldn't respect the locals but come on, tourists are your bread and butter. I would also say the bathrooms are unisex and dirty old men just walk in on the women. This is ridiculous! How are you supposed to use the bathroom when you may have someone barge in on you. I will not be returning. read more

Got the food delivered. Food was eh. Got the kids pasta and it had nothing on it not even butter. They didn't even have an option to add any sauce. It also came with two orange slices as the fruit. The gluten free bun was just an average hot dog bun. The lobster Mac and cheese was good. read more

We went here twice - once for lunch on a Sunday and the second time on a Monday evening. The lunch was A+ perfect. We ordered the clam chowder (bowl) which was enormous. The flavor was excellent, fresh, and creamy. We also ordered the blackened haddock sandwich with fries. Some restaurants go way overboard with the blackened spice and overcook the fish - but this was perfect in all respects. The waiter was delightful and friendly, making this a perfect experience -- which is why we went back for dinner. THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. We were quickly seated and the waiter took our drinks order. The drinks arrived in a few moments, and then we became invisible. After almost a half hour, we searched for our waiter, who was in another room staring at their cash register, and asked what was going on with our order. He said he would check on it (no apology given) and disappeared for another 10 minutes. Again, we found him hunched over the cash register, and again no apology, no clue, no nothing. When I told him we were leaving, he blabbered on about the dinner being ready "soon" but said he had no idea how soon. I don't think we've ever just walked out of a restaurant, but we simply left the payment for drinks and walked out. My wife called when we got home and spoke to the manager, who was deeply apologetic. read more

We just stopped at Peppers after the theater at Ogunquit Playhouse. Of the many restaurants to choose from, we're very happy we came here. Not busy on this Sunday evening. Four of us sat in a spacious booth. Outside seating was also available. We were pleased with the unique and traditional menu choices and even more pleased with the quality of the meals we ordered. Prices were reasonable and the food quantity was certainly not skimpy. Don't miss this place next time you come to Ogunquit. read more

We hadn't been for awhile and now I remember why. Outdoor seating was fine and the wait staff was really pleasant, patient and attentive. 2 stars reflects food not servers! They would get a 4! The food was barely ok. Caesar salad was old lettuce, brown tinged and tasteless dressing. Shrimp on top was unseasoned. Crab roll was only ok. Pretty sure we won't return. So disappointed. read more

A semi new place in the area and did not let me down! We came in for happy hour shrimp and couldn't believe how many we got and how flavorful and perfectly fried they were! We had Rachel and Lindsay as servers, both were very nice and helpful with our orders. We also had the mussels which were excellent and super plump, the crab quesadilla was excellent and boy oh boy the pretzel was perfection. They play games on the tv and have a nice bar that is semi separated from other seats which makes it nice to belly up to the bar or come with your family. read more

We sat at a high top at the bar. Prior to season open and the place was busy not packed. The tv behind the bar had golf class on. Waitress lovely. They were out of some things but nothing huge. Blackened fish too salty to eat. Sweet Potato fries were terrific. Little loud so I suspect at full capacity you can't have a conversation w/o yelling. read more

Another year in Ogunquit, another visit to Peppers. Second time here and I will be back. Great service, great drinks, great food. I had a lobster roll and steamers. Everything as good all around. Highly recommended. Best price for steamers in town, only 21 dollars as of this review around July 1st 2025. read more

We were told it was going to be an hour away and luckily it was only 30 minutes. However, I know it was super busy so this is just based on the fact that it was super busy.our waitress took a long time to come over and finally when she did she was a little distracted which I got because again it was busy. I really like the inside of the place. It's cute and quaint but the food wasn't too bad. I had clams and I wouldn't say they were the best and my kids had to really cute kids meals that came in a boat which was so cute. I loved that however I would be back to give it one more chance read more

Excellent restaurant for a great seafood dinner. We all know seafood is expensive, but Pepper's prices are reasonable. Food was great; service was great!! Will certainly be back for more. We had the fried clam/scallop combo for $32. The clams were whole belly and they actually had bellies!! Add this restaurant to your "go to" list. read more

Lobster was delicious, everything I hoped for when visiting Maine. Haddock taco bowl also very tasty. Great kids menu too.

4 stars for walkability and kid options (honestly, the kid menu was really impressive and practical for toddlers). If I were rating purely on food, I'd probably give it a 3. Mussels weren't as clean as I'd have liked. The taco salad was pretty good. Th cajun fish was pretty good. Very well cooked. read more

Great food, great service! Had the double lobster and it was cooked to perfection! Steamers were great too.

My husband and I recently did a driving tour of New England and had a fantastic meal at Pepper's. We primarily went there for me to enjoy "Buck a Shuck" oysters, which were amazing, as was the rest of our meal. Our server was Lindsey and she was not only friendly, but attentive. She kept checking on us to ensure we had everything we wanted and needed. If you happen to go to Ogunquit, check out Pepper's, they have specials most night, which are different and interesting. read more

We ordered 18 oysters and were shocked at the size- about the same as a dime! No taste! Mussels were mediocre and more bread came late and with a $2 charge! Service here should be called something else- like nonexistent. Porch ambiance was nice. read more
