    I was super impressed by this place. They have any seafood you want and the prices are great compared to a lot of other places. We got the twin lobsters and they were cooked perfectly. I got the lobster roll and it had so much lobster stuffed in it. The steamers were also clean and great! All the seafood coming out of the kitchen looked so good. I want to go back and try more. You order at the front and then they bring it to you. Not many spots inside but they do have some outside seating as well. Great spot!

    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.

    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 .

    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!

    Taking some friends home

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

    The best thing about Forbes is the location by far. I don't think anyone would disagree. Being…read moreright on the water WITH a nice sizeable parking lot, shopping, and a public restroom is great. The service is exactly what I would expect from a beachside stand. I didn't eat inside but I did stop in and it was eh- pretty run down. But that's not why people go! I grabbed my ice cream and headed to the beach. The best way to eat here is to do to go. I got cookie dough ice cream which was delicious and absolutely huge. The cookie dough is made in house so it's super fresh and absolutely packed. The Maine Tracks ice cream was also house made so it was also packed. They take mix ins seriously!!!! Will be coming back whenever I stop by wells

    I wanted to like this place, but unfortunately our experience was really disappointing…read more I ordered the scallop basket with fries, which costs about $15 more than the shrimp basket, but when I got home and unpacked the takeout, I discovered they had given me the shrimp instead. To make matters worse, the shrimp were some of the smallest I've ever seen--I've honestly bought larger frozen shrimp at Aldi. I called hoping they would simply refund the price difference since the mistake was theirs. Instead, I was told they couldn't do that over the phone. Their solution was for me to pack up my dinner, walk 10 minutes back through a busy beach town, wait for them to remake the order, and then walk home again. By that point, dinner was delayed by nearly an hour because of their error. While I waited, they offered us free ice cream. I appreciate the gesture, but we hadn't even eaten dinner yet, so it completely missed the point. A refund of the price difference or another reasonable solution would have been much more appropriate. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. What disappointed me most was how the situation was handled. Customers shouldn't have to spend additional time and effort fixing a restaurant's mistake, especially after paying extra for a premium item.
