    Pasta with added lobster

    Our waitress was nice. The paintings on the wall were creative and the tvs had little house on the prairie and sports so something different. We had the first drink bucket on the list which was yummy and a Pinot Grigio. I had the Florentine pasta with lobster added. I think the amount was light considering the up charge was $24. The sauce needed garlic but otherwise good. Hubs had a lobster roll Oob style and it and the homemade chips were very good. We had the blueberry pie and a flourless torte to go. Would have liked both to be larger. Taste was great.

    Our server Sarah was AMAZING! She even provide us with a list of things to do while in the area - including some places on the water. My wife and I shared the lobster grilled cheese with basil aioli, Gouda cheese and tomato with a side of sweet potato fries. We also split an order of the Sea Salt Calamari with a spicy butter aioli, sweet peppers and Parmesan (absolutely HUGE portion. My wife also got a piece of homemade blueberry pie with ice cream to go. Everything was top notch. Between the two of us, we have enough leftovers for another whole meal for us to share. The food came quickly, everything is made in-house daily, the portions are enormous, drink menu was extensive with local beers and specialty cocktails, and the closed in outdoor patio was heated; perfect for a cool evening in late November.

    Was looking for a seafood restaurant this side of Maine and this came up on Yelp. Didn't have much time to read the reviews, and just took a chance. First, our server was great and attentive and it wasn't busy late afternoon on a Sunday. But, for a seafood restaurant, it wasn't good. Clam chowder was okay, more broth than clams and potatoes, not creamy and had a sour taste. BF had the gumbo and enjoyed it and I had the seafood pasta... sauce was delicious, although capellini was overcooked, shrimps were tiny and the scallops were bad. I ate one scallop and it was very fishy, I thought I just had a bad one, so ate another piece and it was bad as well, one scallop was gray in color and I didn't finish my dish, garlic bread was good though! BF paid the bill while I was in the restroom and didn't have a chance to tell the server. When server came back with the card, I told her to let the kitchen know that the scallops were bad and she offered to take it off the bill or get free dessert, and that was really nice of her, but I said no, since I ate about half of my meal except the scallops and we were full. With that said, I don't think I'll come back here, since there are better seafood choices in Maine. 3 stars because service was great and gumbo was good.

    Had to break it apart, just to show how thick and fresh the cut of haddock was.

    Every time I go to visit family in Maine I have to have some fried food even though it's not good for me. Hey you gotta die of something. Seafood, what a way to go. I'm such a sucker for fried clams, scallops, and haddock, and I was starving. Driving through Old Orchard I saw a restaurant on a pretty large lot sitting on its own. It looked quite inviting so I went in. Modern yet casual place, exceedingly vibrant with a very courteous staff. I ordered food to go and they packed it all so wonderfully. I had to go eat this in my car where I could just savor every bite at my leisure. All I can say is what a perfect cut of haddock, incredibly thick and flaky, lightly battered, laid atop some hand cut, french fries, coupled with perfectly fried clams. Not undercooked, not overcooked. Perfect. I assumed they were gonna play that similar trick of making portions of fish and clams look larger by sitting them on a pile of french fries, so I was quite shocked as I found clam after clam underneath each other while I worked toward the fries. The accompanying coleslaw was excellent by New England standards, but just a little too much onion for me--some people like it that way. I'll be coming back every time I visit..

    the rancid lobster claw & the left over broth
    Marc L.

    I opted for a bowl of lobster stew. The broth was tasteless even dousing it with pepper didn't help. There was a decent amount of lobster pieces which was adequate until I had to spit out a rancid claw. Very bad vibe given off after having to spit out the lobster. Our waitress last time we dined there was exceptional in every way quick, responsive & very funny. Todays waitress was the opposite not attentive "where did she go" I had to ask another waitress to find her for me. When she came over I explained about the rancid claw & tasteless broth. She took it away to tell her manager. I was under the assumption that the manager would stop by & speak to me- no he or she never came by. A sad way to treat a customer with an issue. They did however discount the lobster stew which was nice but a visit from the manager should have been the right thing to do. The last time there I had clam chowder which I remember was very good so I ordered a cup to take home to try. I'll update the review tomorrow after I have the chowder. I'm really hoping it's as good as I remember. The clam chowder was excellent!

    OOB full of meat!

    Every trip to Saco brings me back to sea salt for the OOB lobster roll. So consistent with the best lobster. All the seafood is great. I do love their fried seafood as well. Batter is light and you can tell that they don't keep reusing oil day by day. Clean and fresh. Our waiter, Joel, was amazing the other day. He was so friendly and made our meal so enjoyable! For dessert we had the cider donut w maple walnut ice cream. Words can't describe how good it was. It was like Fall melting in your mouth. Indoor and outdoor seating. Large parking lot.

    My husband and I did a quick Google search for seafood nearby, and this spot came up as the top choice. We looked over the menu and thought, 'Why not?' They had a lot to offer. When we arrived in the early afternoon, we were surprised to see it wasn't very busy. We decided to seat ourselves at the bar and we were immediately greeted and serviced. We both ordered a Pumpkin Rita, which was delicious--perfectly balanced, not too strong or watered down. For food, he had 6 raw oysters and mussels, which he thought were good and would order again. I went with the shrimp tacos and their homemade chips. The tacos were delicious and filling, with two per order. The homemade chips were okay, but if we come back, I'd probably try their fries instead. I asked my husband if he'd go back, and he said yes--so if you're reading this, it's worth a try!

    OOB lobster roll
    Jane D.

    Highly recommend coming here! As another review said, it is a bit pricier but I was very satisfied with my food. The environment is very casual and during dinner time it got quite busy. They had a good selection to choose from on the menu. The lobster stew had several big chunks of lobster and was quite delicious! The garlic bread included was great for dipping. The OOB lobster roll was warm and the chips are house made. I think there was old bay seasoning on them, I could be wrong. This was my first time coming to Maine so I had to try some lobster dishes. I was very pleased! Lobster stew- $27 (MP) OOB Lobster roll- $33 (MP)

    Really yummy lobster mac & cheese. That's all I've had, but next time I visit, I'll get something else.

    We ate here twice during our 9 day vacation. The chicken dumpling soup was great as was the warm blueberry pie.

    Big Daddys on Old Orchard Beach did not disappoint. I started with the crab cakes and a house…read moresalad. Those crab cakes were all crab, no filler, just the way they should be. For my entree, I had the glazed salmon with coconut curry. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the coconut curry was rich and flavorful. I am a coconut curry lover through and through, and the only thing that would have taken it over the top for me would be a little ginger and a touch of scotch bonnet for that gentle kick. The service was outstanding. Marissa was incredible, attentive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. I will definitely be back when I visit next summer. Just a heads up, they do not take reservations and the place is small, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. It is worth it.

    Between my in-laws and my partner and I, we've probably eaten here over a dozen times over the last…read morefew years. Big Daddy's has THE BEST mussels in southern Maine. Specifically, their spicy mussels. Their seafood is locally sourced, fresh, and the sauce is out of this world flavorful, creamy, and the perfect broth for the tender tender mussels. I've given myself heartburn a couple times housing these spicy mussels with their delicious spicy margaritas and it has been worth it everytime. I will come back for these mussels as long as they serve them and I have a mouth for eating them.
