HUGE shout out to Michelle, Eli, Coop, Jessica and the ENTIRE staff at The Catch for helping us…read morehost a pre-wedding welcome party on 9/5/26! We wanted a casual, fun, typical Maine setting for our out-of-town guests and The Catch exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent - lobster rolls, grilled swordfish tacos, mini fisherman platters and of course...New England chowder! And whoopie pies for dessert! The new backyard patio provided beautiful views of the marsh and the fire pits and cornhole games added to the ambience. Our guests had such a good time and we're still getting compliments a week later. Everyone was so accommodating and easy to work with. Service was excellent! Thank you for a fun and memorable "night before!" Looking forward to visiting next year!! Fran, Josh and Lorianne

This used to be one of my favorite seafood spots, but apparently it was sold a couple years ago…read more Today is the first time we've gotten the chance to go and it was a disappointing and frustrating experience. I'd been coming here for at least 20 years, and in recent years it had been a favorite spot to eat outside when traveling with my dog. But now, we are not allowed to eat outside with a dog. Instead we had to order to-go and then walk down back to a 'dog area' which is a spot to the left of the building, below the parking area with one picnic table and some chairs in the woods. It was a beautiful sunny day, but we were getting eaten alive by no-seeums, which is not a nice experience when paying $100 for 1 meal with 6 scallops, 4 small pieces of fried fish, fries and slaw, an order of onion rings, a small clam chowder, and 2 beers. And $50 for a small lobster, an ear of corn, and an iced tea. I get that this is a tourist area, but $12 for a beer in a plastic cup and a $7.50 up charge for 6 scallops while being banished to a buggy spot that made eating very uncomfortable is a big no thank you for me. Crossing this place off my list, sadly. The upgrades and changes to this place are not a bonus at all. I'm sad that a place I always felt was friendly and welcoming is now overpriced and we all felt like we were being treated as second class citizens.

After a week in Maine enjoying great weather and the surroundings of my home state, what better way…read moreto start breakfast then with a bowl of seafood chowdah. (Chowder to the uninitiated). The Maine Diner falls a bit short on its version, in both content and thickness. A great cream-based chowdah is thinner than pudding and thicker than milk. Piping hot, it should warm your soul just smelling the aroma of Maine's best seafood, cream, and butter. This one, not quite. Taste was pretty good ($17 a small bowl, pass) The lobster Benedict was decadent. If you're a Benedict fan, imagine replacing Canadian bacon with 4 ounces of sweet Maine lobster. The perfectly poached eggs, golden brown English muffins, lobster meat, covered in hollandaise. ($32) It's not worth $32, but it was delicious. The service was excellent!

The Beast -- Hobbs Harborside…read more Stopped at Hobbs Harborside and went with The Beast--and the name definitely fits. This thing is a serious meal. Big, hearty, loaded up, and packed with flavor. It came out well prepared and was extremely filling. Combine that with the waterfront setting and harbor views and it makes for a really enjoyable meal. Service was good and the atmosphere is hard to beat. The Beast is worth trying if you show up hungry. Solid 4/5 experience.

We drove down the road a bit and sat at some picnic tables overlooking the harbor to dine. It was really windy, but I was happy with my bisque. They threw in a lobster roll bun for me at the last minute and that really was appreciated. It was so good and this might be the best way for me to enjoy lobster. The service is quick and the line backs up so you had better know what you want when you get to the front. The gals were efficient and friendly, what more could you ask for? Would definitely be back to enjoy this bisque again.

When it was finally our turn to enter the establishment, we were directed right to the counter to place our order. I wasn't quite ready as I was expecting table service, but I can roll with it... just felt a little awkward having to scan the menu so quickly. It was a bit odd to see 5 vacant tables when the line was 15 people out the door, but okay... again, they must have a system. Order came out shortly, no issues. Food was great! Deducted 1 Star because the bathroom was pretty sub par and didn't have a mirror. Great place to take a break and take in some local seafood in Perkins Cove.

They just moved their location so make sure you double check before coming. Plenty of cover seatings and a cute little restroom in a trailer.

Be prepared to sit on picnic tables or in your car. I saw people do both. The reason for 4 versus 5 stars is that there was too much butter on the hot butter version. It was still delicious but between the buttered roll and the hot butter, it was dripping with butter. My advice to those you prefer the hot butter (which I do), just ask for a little less butter. Totally worth a stop and next time I'm in the area, I'll be going there again!

I've been back to Bull N' Claw many times over the years, and it has become one of those places I…read morecan always count on for a great meal and friendly service. The highlight for me is, without question, the two-foot lobster roll. It's huge, loaded with fresh lobster from end to end, and served on a perfectly soft sub roll. Every time I order it, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. It's not just a novelty because of the size. It's genuinely delicious, generously filled, and an incredible value for the amount of lobster you get. It's easily one of my favorite lobster rolls anywhere. The restaurant has a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere that's great for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxed meal. The staff is consistently kind and attentive, and Barb always stands out. She's warm, friendly, and genuinely makes guests feel appreciated. It's refreshing to find a place that's been so consistent over multiple visits. Great food, generous portions, and people who clearly care about their customers keep me coming back. If you're in the area, don't leave without trying the two-foot lobster roll!

My parents live in New Hampshire and have been ranting and raving about this restaurant in Maine…read morewith a 2 foot long lobster roll for months, and after hearing about this thing non stop, I was finally visiting New England and just had to give this thing a shot for myself. We came here at around 5PM on a Monday, you know, prime time dinner hours, and the place wasn't too busy (it definitely got busier). This place screams New England from the second you walk in to the second you leave. The cozy environment and seafood based menu kind of makes picking what to order pretty easy, especially when a two foot long lobster roll is a menu staple, so that's exactly what I ordered. The lobster roll came with chips that I wasn't even able to touch since the giant roll and lobster consumed every inch of my stomach (I really should have gotten a smaller one). I gotta be honest here, I ordered the giant lobster roll hot and with butter and I couldn't even tell if butter was used or not. I think my main issue is how dense the roll is, at some point I had to just start taking the lobster off since the bread was so thick. Overall, Bull N' Claw is a solid seafood restaurant in a state built on sea food restaurants. I totally get why my parents love this place, but the lobster roll itself was pretty bland compared to other ones I've had in the area and I probably won't be returning on future trips to New England. The staff was great, the place looks really cool, and this place is definitely somewhere worth checking out because it might just be a favourite for you.

My sister, who lives in Wells, sent us here on our first day. My Mom really wanted some chowder…read more Initial Service was super fast. We ordered Mozarella sticks that were pretty good. My Mom ordered a cup of chowder, thank goodness she didn't order the bowl because she said it was absolutely awful. To be fair, their menu does explain how theirs is different from typical chowder. My Mom said it was really watery and had no flavor. Luckily she also ordered some shrimp, whichi took a while to come out but were great. I ordered the chicken breast plain sandwich with no tomatoes, fried, and a side Caesar salad with blue cheese dressing. They brought it out with the tomato, good thing I am not allergic to tomatoes. The sandwich was great, tons of chicken and it wasn't too dry. I learned about "buckie" rolls and that they are soft and break easily. I ended up eating my chicken with a fork!! I needed more dressing and the server didn't bring in a timely fashion, the lettuce being wilted by the time she brought it. The pickle on the plate was good, but the fries were just OK. We were able to get a window seat in the bar, which made for a nice start to our Maine vacation. I would come here again, and would probably order the same thing. My mom, however, would probably not!!
