    First, thank you for staying open into the off season!! I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh. I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal.

    Despite being off Route 1 in Wells the location is picturesque and quiet due to it being on a dead end road, with just a marina past it. Looks like it's been around for decades and like a Maine seafood shack, rather than a chain restaurant. Menu has expected Maine/New England types of chowder and seafood. Service was quick and friendly. Food was generous and well prepared. Not a fancy atmosphere, but good value food and a quiet, scenic view to go with it

    Thanks to the amazing Yelp community a recent visit had me pick this place to eat. The place was packed at 1:30 in the afternoon almost didn't find a place to park. We opted to sit outside but inside was full. Our waitress Susan M was a ball of energy. We asked for her recommendation and she knew the menu very well and took the time to describe different menu items. My friend and I (at her suggestion) ordered the fisherman's platter scallops, shrimp, clam strips (also a clam belly option) and haddock. It came with Cole slaw and fries. We also each had a fountain drink which was refilled. The scallops were the best I ever had in my life and I have had them right off the boat. The just melted like butter in my mouth. The haddock was also a winner. The shrimp and clams were good. There was a lot for two people . Everything was hot and very fresh even the roll. There was enough leftover for another meal. Market priced I figured would be pricey but the goal bill was 45.00. They split are bill with no problem. Susan also recommended the bread pudding but we were too full that day. Next time. Also had shirts and souvenirs for sale.

    Great spot for classic Maine seafood with a fun, laid-back vibe. I had the lobster roll--packed with fresh, sweet lobster meat and just the right amount of dressing. Definitely hit the spot. I also tried the vodka blueberry lemonade, and it was so refreshing. Perfect drink for a summer day by the water. The outdoor seating was a nice bonus, giving it that true coastal Maine feel. Service was friendly and quick, and the menu had plenty of options if you're craving more than just lobster. Prices are what you'd expect for a good seafood place in Maine--worth it for the quality. Overall, a great stop and one I'd definitely come back to!

    I am a sucker for a good old-timey fish shanty and the Fisherman's Catch is just that. It has all the charm. They even had live music on their outdoor patio. We arrived at about 1ish on a Thursday and the place was packed. I always figure that a full parking lot is a good sign. We ordered light. Just some fried clam strips and a cup of clam chowder. Yes. Yes. Yes. Rich, creamy and flavorful chowder. Not thin, but not thick, just creamy. No extra "stuff" in it. So good. The breading on the strips was a crispy , lights coating. Nice and crunchy. Perfectly fried, not rubbery. You can taste the freshness in these clams. Sweet and delicious.

    Clam chowder and fried clams

    This was our first dining experience in Maine. We ordered a cup of clam chowder and it was fine. The fried clams were market price and surprisingly unsatisfying. Perhaps I should have tried the clam strips. Service was fine. My overall experience didn't match the high Yelp rating. To be fair, I did not order an entree so perhaps their main entrees are much better.

    Fisherman's Catch is a favorite of my husband's as he has been coming to visit since he was a kid. I, being a vegetarian, was very reluctant to join him here for lunch, but am glad that I did. It is adorable inside, and the service was great. They really make you want to stay and hang out for a while. He got a huge clam platter and said it was awesome - I had a giant basket of onion rings and was pretty thrilled, too. My only wish was that they had something vegetarian-friendly on the menu (but most seafood places do not). If you love seafood and ambiance, this is your spot!

    Waze blew us off course on our regular routine going to Maine. After missing an exit, we decided to try something new instead of backtracking. This proved to be an excellent decision! This place looks like a seafood restaurant from the minute you pull up, until you get inside. Paper towels hanging from the ceiling, nice solid wood tables, and delicious looking food everywhere in sight! We were stopping for lunch, so we decided to try their chowder, and split some onion rings and fried clams. The chowder was the best thick chowder I had probably ever had. I could order this by the gallon to take home! The clams were probably the best that I have had all season, and the onion rings were delicious as well. I can't wait until we go back to Maine in the spring to come here again as our first stop!

    So good!
    Jennifer M.

    Delicious as always! We always stop here every trip to Maine! Definitely one of the absolute BEST! Their chowder is likely my favorite, the Fried clams are out of this world and the hand cut onion rings are amaaaazing!

    "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.

    I am so glad we stopped in Ogunquit for two reasons: one because it was an adorable town to explore…read moreand two because we ate an absolutely delightful meal here! Like, I'd probably go out of my way just to come back. It is a super unassuming spot behind the building of a gift/craft store and ice cream shop. There is a bar seating and patio. It was not too crowded at 3ish in the afternoon on a Monday; we were greeted warmly and told to choose a table. They didn't have a high chair but they had booster seats. I got a glass of brut rosé and my husband got the Pilsner on draft. Both were refreshing and delicious! I got a half dozen oysters (followed by another half dozen afterward) of the fresh oysters of the day, and also learnt this place is on the Maine Oyster Trail. For good reason too--they were probably some of the best oysters I've ever had. Shucked perfectly, with delicious cocktail sauce, horseradish, lemon and mignonette. So good I had to get more. I had a burger for my main, with a gluten free bun and no cheese for dairy free. They also have gluten free fries that are made in a separate frier, bless! My husband got the lobster roll, cold style and said it was absolutely delicious--his first lobster roll and everything he hoped it would be. On top of the food and drinks being great, our server was an absolute gem. So kind, so helpful, he went above and beyond to take care of us and ensure my food was allergen safe. He even went out of his way to get milk for our toddler in a fun kids cup. I truly hope to make it back some day soon!

BB is a quaint outdoor only patio area that offers a full bar and seating. The staff is phenomenal, service is perfcetion and the people watching is vibrant and fun.... just Go!
