I ordered a cheeseburger from this place during lockdown. It was the best cheeseburger I ever had. I hadn't had takeout in about three weeks so that might have something to do with it, but I've lived practically next-door to this place for 20 years and they do not disappoint in the kitchen. I also enjoy the tempura nuggets, the mashed potatoes, the baked fish, and watching my family, eat their lobsters. This is a legendary spot in Gorham. If you're from Gorham and have never been to 390 Main St. then no you're not. read more

390 Main Street - A beautiful girl, eating a lobster. - Seafood Near Me - Gorham, Maine

Fantastic spot. Great service and food. I ordered the lobster roll with broccoli. The lobster was melt in your mouth. Husband went for the seafood pie with a baked potato. The seafood pie was the absolute standout; cooked perfectly with amazing flavor. I kept dipping my broccoli into the breadcrumbs. Shoutout to our waitress who convinced us to order the seafood pie instead of the lobster pie, which was absolutely the right choice. read more

Scallops in Lobster Sauce! That is 90% of what you need to know about this place. The Scallops in Lobster Sauce is the best dang dish I've eaten all year. I don't know what kind of witchcraft they use to make those little babies so tender and sweet and buttery, and that creamy lobster sauce so absolutely irresistible, and I don't think it's my right to know. But they are a gift from the humble kitchen of 390 Main Street and I will praise them as I should! Ok - if you need to know more... We tried this place for the first time yesterday and upon taking a seat at the bar, I thought it felt a bit dive-y and really not sure what to expect. The staff is nice enough. There's definitely a good-old-boys-club vibe here. The menu is paper and looooong. But! One bite of those scallops and I totally got it. I understood the whole place and while it's not fine dining, it fits the price point and the promise of excellent seafood. We also tried the clam cakes - tasty, super crispy exterior and tender inside. Tasty tartar to accompany. The coconut shrimp was fun and sweet and crispy. It was recommended to us to return for the seafood chowder which I'm very excited for! Its a cute little spot worth the visit for the food alone. read more

The service was slow! We arrived and sat at the bar and were told it would be a little while before the waitress could put our food order into the kitchen as they were busy and backed up on orders. We got our food after an hour and a half. The food was good, comparable to most area restaurants, nothing special. We almost left, but it was getting late and we didn't know where else we might be able to get food locally. There were no apologies or compensation for the long wait. We won't be returning there anytime soon. read more

Ate there about a month ago for my son-in-law's birthday. Food was excellent, service was a bit slow but it was very busy. I picked up the tab and knew I would be charged an automatic gratuity....but didn't realize it would be 25 per cent!! I'm sorry, but this is too much. I'm more accustomed to paying a 20 per cent maximum gratuity but only if the service is good--less if it isn't. And then, to add insult to injury, when the bill arrived there was a line for "additional tip!" Seriously??? The only way I'll go back is if I am with a smaller party. read more

We have a camp in maine at USM and then after the camp we go eat lobster here usually 3-4 people and its is amazing!

The food and service was amazing and the food came fast my brother didn't know how to eat to the waitress helped him! The ambiance is extreme nice! read more

390 Main Street - The lobster - Seafood Near Me - Gorham, Maine

This restaurant deserves five stars for the best value for your money and delicious Maine lobsters. Do not expect a luxury place but a restairant where locals eat a lot of fresh lobster. And they know. We come every year and eat as much lobster as we can. The service is professional but friendly. The place is pleasant, casual and friendly. read more

There is a lot to choose from on the menu. The waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was ok. My photo is of the wall next to the table.. it was filthy and I did bring it to the waitresses attention . It makes me wonder how clean the kitchen is. Just saying. I won't be back , there's too many other great seafood restaurants around. read more

i love clamcakes, not frozen. They make delicious clamcakes. Two of us had fish and scallops. we will go back

We went for lunch and ordered bowls of the Haddock Chowder and Seafood Chowder. They were generous bowls and it came out piping hot and both were delicious! The haddock was chock full of fish and the seafood was a heap of shrimp, scallops, lobster, and haddock! It was a filling meal! Definitely a great find, we will be back! read more

I love 390 Main, formerly Ocean Gardens! It was my birthday and my dad and I went here for my dinner. I've come for years and have always enjoyed it. This visit was no exception. The atmosphere is cozy, even in the bar area. Nice lighting, too. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and I liked how they checked in with us to see if we were enjoying our meal and if they could get us anything else. I had the seafood platter and had haddock, shrimp, clams, and scallops with a side of coleslaw. The haddock was very well made and delicious, and the rest of the seafood was delicious too! Lots of different options, too: pasta meals, seafood, burgers...and if you like alcohol they have a full bar. In the summer I think they have an ice cream window too. I highly recommend 390 Main Street! read more

Good Maine food, salad bar, solid drinks, and friendly staff service. The bar area is a great spot for local hangouts with lots of monitors for sports broadcast and is almost always full - while the restaurant maintains a family atmosphere. Favorite spot for the older local crowd as well. Good food, decent price. Tonight we had seafood: braised scallop Caesar salad and bake stuffed salmon. Both very flavorful and delicious. Friendly staff and local folks abound. If you're in town and are looking for a good home-style dinner or lunch ... THIS is the place! read more

So let's say this. Good service from staff not owner/cook! Food. Cold Slaw fantastic Fries very good Boiled Lobster today. Smelled And not enjoyable. Sent back After 65 years eating 2nd worst served We ordered the twins. They smelt like fish. Owner said they were good He has attitude and quite an imagination. Smelt ok to him Left a good tip! My tip to him the owner would be listen to your customers. Maybe in need of shake up! read more

Huge improvement. This had been a family favorite for years, but three years ago the service and attityde git so terrible we stopped going. Based on the parking lot and dining room, alot of others had the same reaction. However, what an improvement. Some changes to the facility make a big improvement in the perception of the restaurant. The server and hostess insist that there has not been a recent change in management, something has changed dramatically. They take reservations, and manage the dining room likie t is being run by professionals, for a change. The servers were friendly and helpful. The kitchen is being run well now. Food was well prepared and prepared quickly. Great improvement. We will be going back, gladly. read more

Food is solid, staff is great. Owner is a complete nut. If something is wrong he shouldn't be Ty he one to handle it. Matter of fact, he shouldn't be in the hospitality business. Ambiance isn't the best because of the owner read more

This is the second time we have gone here The scholars I ordered were very good The waitress was very nice A really nice lady greeted me at the door We Found some bones in our headache chowder So we sent it back. We had 3 bites from it. The owner Mike lost his mind. He kept saying and repeating so I could hear and others could hear that's b******* that's b*******. He then continued to stare us down. I couldn't even finish my drink I'd had to leave. It's too bad because the waitress was super nice and helpful. She saw the bone on the side of the plate and apologized. He should not work in the service industry. read more

This has become one of our favorite places to go on Saturdays for dinner. The last two weeks my friend and I were working fundraisers the last couple of weekends and we were a little late arriving but as always the staff was gracious and pleasant and we had wonderful meals. read more

This can be a 5 star or 1 star restaurant depending on what your goal is. If you're interested in ordering whole lobsters at a restaurant and do not care at all about atmosphere, water views, or basically anything else besides lobster, this is the best lobster restaurant I have ever been to. The triple lobster special (yes...THREE) each had to be at least 1 1/4 pounds, if not larger. The $24.99 price is just ridiculous. This is cheaper than the price of one smaller lobster anywhere in the Old Port. After finishing his triple, my friend from Mississippi was craving a fourth and the kitchen allowed me to add one to my twin lobster special after the fact. 5 minutes later, out comes his fourth. An average soup and salad bar is included in the meal price. How's everything else? Well, at lunch today the local nursing home was quite literally bussing in the residents. It felt like eating lunch in Cocoon. The interior is dated. The service was a little slow but the waitress had a big smile. I don't know who would order non-lobster here, so I can't comment on the rest of the menu. For whole lobsters at a restaurant I have never seen cheaper. So if that is the goal, Ocean Garden is a 5 star experience for locals or tourists. read more

absolutely out of this world, food delish and lots of it!! excellent service, two rooms w different ambiance, loved the clam shack ambiance!!! read more

When you're craving lobster on a budget, you probably won't find a better deal than the triple lobster dinner for $19.95 (as of this date) complete with unlimited soup, salad, and rolls. The service is friendly and attentive. The dining room is clean and able to accommodate both large and small groups. While there's nothing extraordinary or special about the food or atmosphere, chances are you'll leave happy and maybe even brag later to your friends about the deal you got on your lobster dinner. read more

My husband, son and I visited Ocean Garden after reading all the reviews. We were expecting it to be very good. It was, however, horrible. I ordered the special which was 'fall off the bone ribs'. What I got was a hard dried up piece of completely stuck together ribs- certainly NOT fall off the bone by any stretch of the imagination. There was a very thick layer on the bottom of what seemed to be some form of rub which was literally black, sandy and pasty. I had to scrape it off. The top had a slight drizzle of BBQ sauce covered with a spice. Whatever spice it was, it was not good at all. I could not even eat them. Both my husband and son tried them and they, too, found them inedible. My son ordered the salmon and they asked him how he wanted it cooked- raw, medium or well. Maybe it is OK to eat raw salmon but my son certainly did not think so. My husband only ordered the salad which was fine. I would like to add that our waitress was very nice. When I said to her that the ribs were certainly not fall off the bone, she did offer to bring me something else. I did not want to have to wait so I declined. Needless to say, after spending far more than it was worth we all decided we would never go back. read more

We called to make a reservation for 5 adults and 3 kids. They said sorry but already have hit our max. Ok-- no problem. They called back 5 minutes later and said 5:30 would be fine. We showed up on time and soon placed our order. Other patrons came, ordered, got their food, ate and left. We inquired what is the problem. Kitchen is backed up. Slowly our food arrived item by item over 15 minutes!!my fisherman platter was ok, my wife's lobster was ice cold-- obviously was cooked earlier and put in fridge and not heated up enough to cover up the ice cold meat inside!! Sent back ( and they comped us on that) kids Mac and cheese was obviously made earlier and tasted that way! Other food was fair at best. Sorry but if your kitchen is sop backed up they why call us back to endure the worst family dinner out in 10+ years. Then they auto added a tip of $58 to our meal.!! Never again! Never! read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner last night. The waitress Barb was very nice and energetic. She made sure that all of our meals were just as we ordered it. We had the scallops wrapped bacon for and appetizer. The bacon was cooked perfectly but the scallop could be warmer on the inside. My boyfriend got the surf and turf and I got the seafood alfredo. Both dishes were excellent. We had a lot of leftover. Over all this is a great find for us and we'll be back. read more

If you want steamed lobsters, this is the place to go! My friend and I came here based on the recommendation of our inn keeper. We wanted steamed lobster (not the rolls) and he said this was the cheapest location, but with no ambiance. That was fine with us, so we headed down to the place and agreed that there wasn't much of a view. Just a pretty church and a parking lot. BUT the lobster was CHEAP. The specials were: One lobster - $13.99 Twin lobsters - $16.99 Three lobsters - $21.99 On top of that, you get unlimited salad bar and soup (which were both good)! WHAT A DEAL! Also, our server was very kind. She showed me how to crack my lobster without making me feel out of the loop. The crowd in the restaurant is a wee-bit older, but I think everywhere in Maine is like that (that, or our B&B host likes dining with the elderly). So if you're in the Gorham area and you want, like, nine lobsters (cause who doesn't?), then Ocean Garden is the place to go! read more

The staff was super nice and the food was awesome!! I got the seafood Alfredo which was overloaded with perfectly cooked shellfish and Grewboo got the steak. We came in late and the bartender and manager were still very delightful, I think her name was Michelle read more

We went there on a Saturday night at 7 and was told they was not seating anymore people because they had a large party of 20. The lady that told us was no very nice. I can't believe a restaurant would not seat people at 7pm on a Saturday night it wasn't like we as in a hurry but they didn't even give us a choice to wait. We won't go back. read more

For the local Gorhamite, Ocean Gardens conjures up an image of blue hair dinner specials, cheap mega lobster specials, and fat ass locals drinking at the bar on Tuesday night. Au contraire mon frere. Ocean Gardens is no longer that place. The Resturant was recently purchased and, although it looks the same, the engine under the hood has been turbocharged and performance has been enhanced. I have been there twice. Once for brunch - as a friend of mine mentioned they have crab cake Benedict - not the English muffin based version - but the crab cake based version - yes sir, frigging wicked F'ing good. The second time was for surf and turf. Lobster was HEAVY and and the fillet perfectly medium as requested. The salad bar was an upgrade from the previous joint. Still a family vibe and a solid dinner for a reasonable price. Definitely not a trendy place, just good eating and you can still set you fat ass on a barstool and quaff a few on Tuesday night. read more

Go for the dinner specials but don't expect much outside of that. Service was not great, salad bar is not good. mostly underripe vegetables. soup was good. our waitress was nice but we waited too long for someone to come over to us at first. They brought us the wrong appetizer so our real appetizer actually came after dinner. stuffed mushrooms were super salty and just not good.. Key lime pie was terrible. They are known for great dinner specials so stick with that. we got 3 lobsters for 25 and prime rib for 15. that was worth it read more

Came with my sister in law for breakfast and we were not disappointed. The mimosas are HUGE and portion sizes for the food are incredibly generous. The blueberry French toast was phenomenal - not too sweet - and we'll be back for the crab cake Benedict! We got a side of sausage which is local and probably the best I've ever had. The restaurant and tavern sides both have fireplaces and are decorated for the holidays so we were warm, well fed, and feeling festive. Highly recommend! read more

Not a bad place for in the middle of Maine somewhere! We came here for a rehearsal dinner. Do not expect anything fancy here! The waiter was not even sure about the wines that were on the menu. When we ordered she had to look at the menu to write it down. I had the scallops and they were delicious! I only eat seafood when in Maine because why wouldn't you! They had a salad bar that was nothing fancy but not stomach upsetting either! The soup was good as well! The dessert they served looked to be a biscuit short cake of sorts. It was okay but nothing special. Not that I think I will ever be in that area again but I would come back maybe....but I would probably just truck it down to Portland! read more

I went here for dinner last night. From the reviews, I already knew the lobster was priced accordingly and it was a cozy environment. Well, I agree. The waitress was lovely - she greeted everyone like they were family even though she may not have known them. The salad was more iceberg lettuce than I would have liked but I understand restaurants offer this to keep cost low. I did not have the soup but I did have the warmed rolls which were standard. The cost for one lobster was $19.99 which I thought reasonable along with the salad bar. I ordered the NY Strip and Lobster which was more food than I expected and really inexpensive. The steak was juicy and the lobster sweet - a perfect combination. I would go here again if I'm back in the area. read more

Pros: Decor was average, but pleasant. Wait staff very friendly. Salad bar included with meals and the salad items were fresh. Generous portions Cons: In two words, The Food. Mostly cooked from frozen product (From what I could tell, nothing was made in house). Wife's chicken tenders were overcooked and completely dry. Son's BBQ chicken sandwich was just so-so. The description of my meal sounded great: pan seared scallops and fillet mignon tips made with a teriyaki marinade. Scallops had ZERO sear (read: microwave?). If the steak was fillet mignon, then it was from the grizzle end of the cow and cooked to oblivion. The "marinade" was a canned thick goop that drowned whatever life the protein had left in it. It's sad because I had hopes of a decent meal from the reviews I read. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this restaurant's food apart from the salad bar. read more
