Okayyyyy Big Daddy's!…read more I ordered the Peach Bacon Glaze Burger with lots of cheese and caramelized onions, cooked medium, and BABYYYY... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! First of all, this burger was HUGE! I could only eat half and once I was FULL. The combination of the sweet peach bacon glaze, melty cheese, caramelized onions and that perfectly cooked burger was EVERYTHING. This was definitely the star of the meal. I also ordered the Jalapeño Hush Puppies. Now, those? Not really my thing. I didn't care too much for them, but thankfully the burger more than made up for it. I sat at the bar because it was pretty busy, and even with the crowd, customer service was AMAZING. Everybody was friendly and attentive. The ambience is cool. Definitely gives bar/pub vibes, and while the inside is on the smaller side, it still works for a casual date night, drinks and a good meal. Bathrooms were clean too, which is always a plus! And one thing I can say about Big Daddy's is that the food is consistently good. This isn't my first time having a great meal here, and it won't be my last. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! Would I order that burger again? BABY, I wouldn't even need to look at the menu! Overall: Great food, great service, cool atmosphere and consistent quality. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Old Orchard Beach!

Overall, the food was subpar. It took so long for the waitress to come greet us that we ordered our…read moredrinks and our food at the same time. Our food came out 20ish minutes later before our drinks came. When we asked about our drinks, she said there was only one bartender on duty, but we had only ordered draft beer, an orange juice and a Coke, and we watched the table that arrived after us get their drinks (wine, etc) long before we did. The seafood was not fresh and was overcooked- it's likely that it came from the freezer. It took forever to get our bill when we were ready to leave and they charged us for things that we hadn't even ordered. So it took forever to get the bill fixed. We ended up being there for almost 2 hours. The ambience was the best part. Gorgeous view from the deck.

We arrived @ 6pm no guests seated in the bar area, we decided to sit on the patio, 3 other tables with guests, they left one by one, and then we left. Without ever seeing a waitress. Apparently the bar area with all the patron's took precedent. We waited down stairs for my husband to bring back ribeye subs. During this time 8 guests went up 20 min later they came back down, stating they were not served. I advised the hard working staff at the downstairs take out, they expressed their concern, and apologized. I hope the waitress and bartenders enjoyed their time with the "Birthday Girl" and her guests. I'm sure the tip left was minimal vs what our table would of left. 1 star review = no review.

This is a real local gem…read more We take our golf cart down from Bayleys to the beach vibes. It's a blast. We've been several times & these are my good points: 1. Great atmosphere. We sit at the outside bar and patio. 2. Well balanced food menu, their nachos are amazing and the lobster roll is fantastic! Not to mention, they have pizzas, burgers, salads, etc., etc. 3. They make good drinks and have a decent draft beer selection. 4. Friendly and prompt servers. 5. Affordable prices. My bad points.... none. So check out the Beach Vibes and enjoy!

Since it's seat yourself, we settled in quickly. It took a little while for someone to acknowledge us, but once we were greeted, the service was friendly and efficient for the rest of the meal. The cocktails were good--nothing extraordinary, but exactly what we expected for a casual waterfront restaurant. The food was the highlight. My blackened haddock sandwich was excellent, and my wife said her lobster roll was one of the best she's had during our Maine trip. Our son loved the kids' haddock fingers, and our daughter ordered the cheeseburger from the regular menu since there wasn't one on the kids' menu. Both cleaned their plates, which says a lot! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would happily return the next time we're in Old Orchard Beach.

We were originally going to go to another restaurant, Bell Buoy or something or other and they were closed. Their loss! Came to Joseph's By the Sea and the staff were welcoming and hospitable. Sat upstairs outside and had the best dinner ever. Very happy with the bread basket for $4. Tasty and nice to nibble on with a delicious plain butter as well as an olive butter. Then ordered the large portion Caesar salad. Lovely, my boyfriend and I shared it. Ordered the lobster for market price. They were out of the 1 1/4 pound one, but had the 1 3/4 pound one which was a little more expensive, but worth it. It was fresh and quite far for the price at a restaurant. Boyfriend had the "Best of Both Worlds" (not pictured) he eats too fast! 4 ounce filet mignon and 4 ounces of lobster meat. Served with same sides that I had with the lobster dish. Also a chimichurri sauce. It really doesn't need it. Ask for it on the side if you're iffy about it. A great dessert menu, but we were full. I actually asked for more bread and the olive butter to go! Very clean restaurant. Another nice touch is the hand washing station near the bathroom. Thank you, JBTS. Our regards from Washington, DC.

I ordered extra cream sauce. There was a decent amount of seafood too. Chef Dakota makes me want to hop in the car and take that two hour drive JUST for that pasta. It was THAT good! And listen, even the Caesar Salad was top tier. They did not come to play. My Hubby had the Fish & Chips and absolutely loved his meal too. The food was excellent, but the experience was just as good. Service was amazing, the bathrooms were clean, and the inside was CHIC, intimate and romantic. It was the perfect atmosphere for our restaurant date night. Joseph's has that elevated coastal feel without feeling stuffy, and you can tell they take the whole dining experience seriously. They've been serving Old Orchard Beach for decades and have a strong focus on fresh, locally sourced seafood. DO NOT have the disappointment of showing up without a table. MAKE A RESERVATION! Would I drive two hours again for that pasta? ABSOLUTELY.
