    Fresh lobsters every day

    3 of us for lunch today. Lobster roll , steamers, clam strips ,haddock. So nice. So clean . Huge portions. Taking some home. The people working there are so nice and helpful. Been to others but. This is the best . Good luck guys .

    We came here for some convenient lobster meat for lobster rolls. It's expensive per pound, but the convenience of ready to serve lobster meat in juicy chunks is worth it. A little goes a long way, as it's a pretty light meat. There wasn't much weight, and the staff was very helpful. The fresh lobster made for a delicious lunch. They have a great seafood menu including live lobsters, so there is a lot to offer.

    They trained new kid and he might have forgot to give my order to kitchen ( you doing great kid! It's ok), the lady ( I believed she is the owner) came out and gave me $20 back and apologized even though I said it is ok, no worries. She insist on giving back $$ and apologize more. I am ok waiting cause it is such a nice view here. It is a beautiful day. The food came out great! Definitely will be back Great service!

    A must visit locally owned spot to enjoy a great casual lobster meal and beautiful sunset outside at picnic tables or inside where it's a bit less chilly. My lobster was fresh and tender, service was prompt, my husband loved the haddock bites. The only thing that would be better is homemade tartar sauce with dill (instead of Ken's) and Old Bay Seasoning for the fries. It was also surprisingly clean for being run by teenage boys yet very busy! My 91 yr old mom was grateful for the handicapped access ramp they have as well!

    Beyond this unassuming door is a kick ass restaurant.

    We were tipped off to this waterside seafood restaurant by a friend. The lobster pound is across the street from the water. It's very basic- order at a window and the food is brought to your table. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The picnic tables outdoors are lovely. The restaurant is immaculate. The staff were very friendly. The food was off the charts. I visit Maine frequently and am a big seafood fan. The steamers and lobsters were a top 5 experience. The house made potato chips and coleslaw were awesome. The hand made onion rings were very good. The prices were really good for dine in and were an absolute steal for take out. I can't recommend this no frills, lobster in the rough place highly enough. Wish that they didn't use disposable plates and utensils, but that's par for the course. The Well Beach Lobster Pound is the real deal- not to be missed if you're in the area.

    This is an authentic Maine lobster dinner experience. It's not as popular as some other places so it's less crowded. I got a pound of steamers and a 2.25 pound lobster dinner experience. They have outdoor seaside picnic tables with awesome views.

    Excellent clam chowder and amazing fried clams! This was our first time here but not our first visit to Wells, which is our favorite town in Southern Maine. As I write this review on Columbus Day they are now closed up till Spring but def put 'em on your list for Spring!

    My favorite place to get lobster in Wells. Fresh and good prices. I get them cooked and cracked so I can easily use them for lobster rolls and pasta dishes while I'm in the area for the week. When headed home, they cook and pack them up- still warm when I get back to Boston. Friendly, knowledgeable employees. I get these to go but they have some great indoor and outdoor space for casual dining- and a parking lot. Great water views. Seafood and ice cream on the menu.

    Food was really good, pricey, but the service overall was good as well. It's a nice restaurant and the atmosphere is lovely.

    The "butter" that came with the lobster was some kind of yellow oil. But on the positive side the roll contained lots of lobster

    "And there's a girl in this harbor town And she works layin'…read morewhiskey down They say, "Brandy, fetch another round" She serves them whiskey and wine" (Looking Glass) When our convention committee of thirteen traveled to Wells, Maine for a mini vacation to celebrate a job well done last year, we had to come up with a place to have a memorable group dinner. We sure hit a home run when we decided to book a reservation at Hobbs Harborside. The restaurant is huge and beautiful, with a big bar, plenty of tables, and a big outdoor deck overlooking the water. We enjoyed a few drinks out on the deck before we were called. Our server for the evening was Shelby H. and if there is a finer server in the state of Maine, I'd be stunned. She was everything we could possibly have asked for -sweet, friendly, funny, conversational, cheerful, helpful, efficient, professional- she checked all the boxes. I started off with one of their pillowy soft complimentary dinner rolls, a glass of Zardetto Prosecco ($11), and then turned my attention to the many appetizers our table ordered to share. I sampled some of the Bacon Wrapped Scallops ($19.99) and Baby Lobster Cakes ($19.99) -both of which were excellent. For my main, I went with a Seafood Sampler ($31.99) - a "combination of fresh haddock, sea scallops and stuffed shrimp broiled with a topping of buttering crumbs". This was a wonderful dish! The scallops were sweet and tender, the fish was flaky and perfectly cooked, and the shrimp was delicious. The entrée came with a choice of 2 sides, so I went with a double order of Brussels Sprouts which were amazing. Thank you Hobbs Harborside and Shelby H for one of our best restaurant experiences of the year.

    We spent 3 days in Oqunguit and was looking for a good seafood restaurant…read more We wanted Big Belly Clams on this April night last week 4/20, and decided to go to HOBBS, and we were not disappointed, one of the best clam dishes we ever had. Food,drinks & dessert were great , the staff and our waiter Joe was terrific! Can't say enough about our experience Will go back whenever we are close by!!
