There's several tables in front so you can enjoy the food right there if you'd rather not get it to go. It's got a really nice feel for how small it is- I think the small white picket fence out front adds a nice touch. I had the $15 lobster roll from the pier the day before and while it got the job done, Johnny Shucks is well worth the extra money for full claws and all around fresh, juicy, hot meat! I also got a glass of wine for $5 and it was a generous pour, washed down the roll perfectly! The clam chowder is flavorful as well, a little on the thinner side but served piping hot. Service was very fast, so you can get back to the beach in no time. Don't pass this one up! @azfitfoodfun

So I wanted a taste of this best roll in the entire USA. Fate just wouldn't have it. The joint was closed with no one in sight or reachable via phone. (See review for them). So we get back on YELP and find this place nearby. It saved the day. It ain't fancy with just 1 table out front, a 4 seater with a colorful umbrella. You have to pay to park curbside but that's sort of cheap and easy to do. We eat under the umbrella. Yummy good lobster roll, plenty meat stuffing inside. The conversation with the owner and her hubby was friendly too. It was a beautiful, sunny day to eat outside. There is no bathroom so plan ahead. We used the public facilities, after getting directions from the owner before leaving town.

The food was okay, not the best I've ever had. I got a burger and some lobster. Burger was super fatty and hardly edible. The lobster tasted rubbery. I only ate because I was so hungry. The ambiance sucked. No ac at all and it's been out for weeks supposedly. Way too loud and there's no air flow. There's no flow at all and the sound collects in one area, i couldn't even think it was so damn loud. The wait staff was horrid. Only good service was the hostess. The manager was terrible, she didn't listen at all. Are server needs to retire at this point. Do not come.

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.

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!

It's fantastic. I also love their smoked Arctic char pâté with hot honey, smoked salmon pâté, and smoked rainbow trout pâté. It's creamy, delicate, buttery, and the natural smoke flavor comes through without it being overpowering and fishy. It's a luxurious, gourmet spread, and my freezer is adequately stocked. The people working there are hard-working, polite, and friendly gentlemen. Jim, the owner, is an absolute star. He's genuine and kind. I love Pinetree Seafood and Produce, and I'm forever hooked! Don't let this go by without visiting; you'll be glad you did.

I ordered a regular lobster roll and regular crab roll, along with a small fish chowder and clam chowder. The prices were very fair: $25 for the lobster, $15 for the crab, and $4 each for the 8oz chowders (discounted with the purchase of a roll). The seafood is fresh in the rolls and lightly dressed in mayo, which is my personal preference. The focus the is on the flavor of the generous servings of meat. It would have hit the spot to have small bits of celery or a nice piece of lettuce included: that's not a dealbreaker and, next time, I know to bring my own. I was impressed by the quality and toast of the bun, which had great crisp on the outside and chewiness once bitten into. This elevates the experience over a plain, room temperature hotdog bun. I thought the fish chowder was a bit on the salty side, so the classic clam chowder would be my go-to. I was able to sample smoked salmon and smoked rainbow fish pate while waiting for my order. Next time, I may skip the chowder and buy a tub of pate. Unfortunately, I wasn't going to be able to access a refrigerator anytime soon, so I did not buy any then and there. The store itself is small and cozy, so I imagine it gets quite packed at peak times with customers. Thankfully, it was quiet and it was easy to put in my order on a Tuesday afternoon. The staff were young and responsive, and my purchase was smooth. I will stop by again!
