I expected to pay more given the location, but take-out here was simply average. We had 3 bowls of chowder and a large caesar salad. Soup was not plentiful, meaning lots of milk/cream and little seafood. Consistency was runny, and we prefer thinker chowders. The Caesar salad was no bigger than you would expect from a side salad, and this was a $14 large salad. Essentially the joke was on us as the salad barely covered the bottom of the takeout container. Would have been one star, but the little food that we had tasted good. Service was friendly. I ordered take=out at the bar, and I think the bartender made the salad and scooped the watery soup. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Hands down one of the best restaurants around. Great service, kind & welcoming staff, and exceptional food. Everything we had was truly great, ranging from salad w seared tuna, mussels, and the oysters... had to go back for a second round of oysters as they were delicious. These were honestly so some of the best oysters in recent memory. read more

Brix Brine is a quaint spot right in the heart of Ogunquit. I ordered the lobster roll and a few oysters to make the most of my seafood experience in Maine. Everything was delicious. The lobster roll was large and could easily be split! The service was rather scattered, and could use some improvement and enthusiasm. read more

Stepping out of the CT cocktail scene for a few days to enjoy summertime in Maine. My first stop was Brix + Brine. True to its brand, it is al fresco dining in the heart of Ogunquit, Maine. Known for offering the largest selection of raw bar items around, this spot slings superb cocktails and delivers the freshest seafood. I appreciated that before making my cocktail, the bartender asked if I preferred it shaken or stirred. She then prepared it and poured it into an elegant and thin V-shaped glass. The martini was strong, refreshing, and filled to the brim. Something just hits different enjoying a cocktail with the ocean only steps away. The olives were quite firm and salty but ultimately left me feeling undecided about whether I enjoyed them with my drink or not. The oysters and tuna from the raw bar were succulent and delicate. The culmination of my meal was a cold lobster roll that was packed with meat and flavor. Not to be overlooked, this eatery provides a classic New England experience. read more

It might not be the dramatic cliffs of Ogunquit where the oysters practically leap from the ocean onto the tray, but Brix+Brine has a huge amount to offer when it comes to seafood. This is inconspicuously located on Shore Rd in Ogunquit and you'd never notice it unless you knew exactly where to look because it's almost tucked away next to one of those T-shirts souvenir shops. Also, don't see this place as an outdated seafood shack just because it's outdoors and feet away from the ocean- because it's anything but. Sitting under their humongous patio umbrella was refreshing after spending a couple of hours at the beach. Our shared smallish bites were very tasty and the music playlist added a Summer Beach touch during our early Monday afternoon lunch. A mix of Mere Points and Damariscotta raw oysters were a terrific starter. I skipped their Seafood Chowder since it's prepped with bacon- but hubs enjoyed it with large chunks of Lobster, Clams, etc. Not only do these folks know their food, but they also know their cocktails backwards, forwards and sideways because my 'Bog 2.0' with an orchid in a frozen ice sphere, was the bomb. Besides it being pretty to look at, that sucka was strong as well as hubs' 'Yasssssss' cocktail. The Ricotta+Sea Salt+Olive O. was simple but done so rich- we actually wanted more of it. I have to admit, my Crispy Cauliflower with honey, a creamy-based tangy cheese (don't know what it was) and an unholy dose of za'tar- was absolutely terrific, too. Everything we had was so flavorful- even that lonesome Jumbo ass $5 shrimp that we had to taste for the hell of it. The end result was great. Brix+Brine definitely made the list for us to return next time we're in town. Food in my opinion, was very good- but so was the super layback atmosphere, friendly service, wine/mocktail/cocktail list and overall experience. read more

Maybe more like 3.5 stars but didn't try enough to sway me down. Drinks are great here- I had a hard time finding a decent cocktail on our trip and the YAAASSSS martini is fabulous! I had 3 and wanted more, if it wasn't for our son being cranky we would've stayed for another. The oysters are on the smaller side, having had some larger ones at a restaurant nearby, but still tasty! Like that they have an assortment. Skip the ceviche- it lacked seasoning/flavor and only had a couple shrimp. It was more salsa then ceviche. The kids hotdog is huge and worth it! Having got a few kids meals that weekend for my son this one we got 2 meals out of and he loved it. The mussels are soooo good, we could've ordered another but again cue cranky 1 year old. Our waiter was the bartender I believe and he was great. Food service was slightly slow but they were busy. Ambience is cute- it's in a little back corner with a big umbrella under a tree with string lights. The ceviche has me at a 3 but my delicious cocktails and mussels at a 4. Definitely worth the try! read more

What do you do after walking the Marginal Way, you stop here and have a great lunch! (note - we walked by during dinner time and they were packed!). I love to have Lobster roll with butter ( not mayo - sorry traditionalists). I love the flavor of the Lobster meat with a bit of lemon and sweet butter - this was perfect. Ordered a side salad, stead of fries, and it was awesome!. The Caeser dressing was a bit "light" for my taste but the chicken was moist and tasty - some many places over cook this add-on. A local beer, a friendly service team. Look forward to going back! read more

We came here for dinner (4 adults and 3 toddlers). We sat outside which was chilly but nice - several other tables with children too so I'd say kid friendly. The food was yummy but could've been hotter. My husband loved the fried chicken. Fish & chips were good. The hostess and our server were super friendly ! We complimented the hostess on our way out and she said she was just filling in- great service decent food. read more

Brix+ Brine for the win! This place as great atmosphere. Everyone just seems to be in an amazing food, a greg view to the ocean by the bar seats and fantastic food. I had a lobster roll with melted butter, which was very fairly priced and AMAZING. The spicy shrimp tempura? An appetizer you should definitely try. Ogunquit is one of my favorite towns in Maine and Brix and Brine definitely aligns to the vibe of this happy place!

Great food and great ambience. Very friendly service. We always try to come when we are in town. Very accommodating to our group of 7.

Great lunch spot. Had the most amazing Caesar salad with grilled shrimp! Outdoor seating is perfect for Ogunquit!!

Came here with my dad and aunt while on vacation and can't really complain! The atmosphere on the patio was really nice and the service was pretty good. My dad got the NE clam chowder, which he thought was pretty good. We both agreed there was sort of a sour taste to it, not that it went bad, but some ingredient made it taste a little sour which was sort of strange. I got the burger with old bay seasoned fries. I loved my meal - the burger was very juicy and the white cheddar cheese was a great touch. My aunt got the Classic Wedge salad which she was very happy with. The salad was pretty drenched in blue cheese dressing, so I'd probably tell them to go light on the dressing. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience at this restaurant and would go back. read more

Had a disappointing experience. Starting with the good, the oysters were outstanding. The minionette was great and the oysters were ice cold. Unfortunately, we ordered the grapefruit and avocado salad with a side of the hanger steak. When the hanger steak arrived, it was very well done and was hard to swallow. I politely brought it to the servers attention and she said she would speak to the chef to see if it could be cooked medium rare. The atrocity that was returned would have inspired Prince to write a song called "Purple Vein," as it was really quite rare. Felt like a big ol' $15 purple middle finger staring me in the face. :( Wings were also a bit dry. read more

Oh, where do I even start? I arrived very early in the night making sure nobody caught me walking into this delicious restaurant. Then the waiter sat down in a very bougie seat. The waiter came to my table and asked me to order a drink. I said yes and I ordered a root beer. Let me add that. I also asked for a purple fan, but they didn't have itthen I ordered a whole bird and that bird not discipline. It was delicious. Delicious delicious delicious five stars. read more

This place was great! The staff is friendly and helpful. The patio is cute and inviting. They welcomed us with our toddler and dog. Note: no high chairs, just booster seats. Food is great and menu makes you want to come back to try more. To start we had half a dozen oysters, the ricotta appetizer (huge portion), and a cup of clam chowder for the baby which my husband couldn't stop eating. My husband gulled down a generous pour of the cava and I enjoyed a glass of Pinot gris - that the bartender poured me a sample of when I asked about the flavor profile. For dinner, I had the Baja salad with grilled chicken. Again generous portions, fresh and delicious ingredients, light and refreshing dressing (my toddler couldn't stop eating MY SALAD lol). I would skip the chicken next time, the salad doesn't need it. My husband got the tuna special and cleaned his plate in record time. read more

The bartender made me a delicious mocktail and my husband loved the alcoholic drinks. Oysters beautifully shucked. Cute outdoor seating, will definitely be back! read more

Hands down my favorite lobster roll of our northeast lobster roll tour so far. Came during the week after labor day for lunch. The hostess was super sweet in finding us a shady table that actually got a little breeze on the patio. The music was some awesome '60's and 70's stuff so I immediately like the vibe :-) The table ordered the cheese board appetizer, along with half a dozen oysters. It was all delicious - but we especially loved one of the condiments that came on the cheese board - a cherry pepper and honey condiment that was new to us and delicious. The board included 3 cheeses, 2 condiments (a jam in addition to the cherry pepper), pickled veggies, and toasted crostini. I also had a blueberry ale (okay...two) that was perfect on the hot day. Next we had lobster rolls...and there was a choice of tarragon mayo or just butter. We went with just butter. Y.U.M. As I stated in the beginning, this roll is the clear winner thus far. It was fresh and plentiful and flavorful and cooked (steamed?) just right. Our server was perfect - just involved enough, but not too much. Frankly, Brix + Brine was the only thing about Ogunquit that I loved. The trap of no parking anywhere + "oh - here's a lot where you can pay $20" on the TUESDAY AFTER LABOR DAY was ridiculous. So thank you, for giving us a happy memory of your town! read more

Fresh, fresh, fresh! Oysters, salad, salmon, tuna poke... all great. Wonderful drinks as well. This was our best find for restaurants in Ogunquit. read more

It turns out there's only one restaurant near Ogunquit Beach that serves steamers, and that place is The Front Porch which opens at 5pm, so that's kinda late for us since we have to hit Portland next. Well, Brix + Brine came up with a high rating, so we stopped by for some seafood and drinks. I don't quite agree with some reviews regarding the price. I thought it was reasonable for oysters and lobster rolls. Anyway, you may do Ogunquit once every other summer, so splurge it. We got seated in front by a young maître d' who I mistook him for a valet parking boy. Lol. Oh well. Our friendly server, Daniel--I still think he's the owner--surprised us with some New England oysters. They were fresh and briny. Yum! We also shared a large bowl of Seafood Chowder, Shrimp Ceviche and Lobster Roll. I think what we ordered were great. They do have a long list of craft beer to offer as well. I'll definitely come visit this place again next summer. read more

Brix & Brine, I am writing this review out of exasperation, seated in a restaurant with a lesser lobster roll, on Cape Cod. On Cape Cod for gods sake where their lobster rolls should at least be decent. Who are these people. I now feel prepared to call it: you have the best lobster roll in New England. And the nice outdoor tables and fun staff. Oh Brixy, I miss you. read more

Despite living up here during the summer months, we often forget about this place, which was a big mistake. They have plenty of food options, which we like from haddock sandwich to lobster rolls. The service was great and our server had a great sense of humor! It is nice to eat outside, but not in the open right on route one. The prices are some of the most reasonable in Ogunquit as well! read more
