HUGE shout out to Michelle, Eli, Coop, Jessica and the ENTIRE staff at The Catch for helping us host 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 read more

This used to be one of my favorite seafood spots, but apparently it was sold a couple years ago. 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. read more

Finally got in a beach day with my best friend and she wanted clams. She was not disappointed, very fresh and perfectly cooked along with a bunch of nice scallops. I had the shrimp tacos which had a yummy super crunchy slaw inside. I also ordered corn on the cob on the side and on the menu inside it had a (3) next to it so I thought i was getting 3 pieces of corn, not full ears, but three shorties. The ear that came out, which I think I paid $6 for, was about the diameter of a quarter and about six inches long. It was pathetic. Strangely I opted for no fries and was offered double cole slaw, which I also denied, but I couldn't substitute that stupid ear of corn. Otherwise it was all good! Service was quick and efficient. P.S. I swear the red pepper aioli that came with my tacos is from Terra Cotta Pasta Co. read more

We had a great dinner at Fisherman's Catch! The food was excellent--I had the Fish & Chips, which were perfectly crispy and fresh, and my wife absolutely loved the Lobster Tacos with fries. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially with the views of the marsh. It's a classic Maine spot, and the service was friendly. We would love to see a few more local options added to the beer list to really round out the experience, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back! read more

Fisherman's Catch has continued to evolve since changing hands a few years ago. The interior space was renovated, the restrooms were moved to make the indoors dining space bigger and another outdoor dining space was created. They've recently instituted a 4 course lobster bake, which we have yet to try. The staff are still lovely, the service is good and the food is excellent. They're one of the best at making fried seafood. I had the whole belly clams and scallops today and they were cooked perfectly, with accompanying crispy fries. Even the coleslaw was great. Didn't have the chowder today, but it's reliably excellent. The only negative is the use of disposables plates, cups and utensils. The combination of food and ambience makes Fisherman's Catch a not to be missed restaurant. It's usually our first meal after arriving in Ogunquit. For the comb read more

Great find! Ordered the clams and they were awesome--no sand. Lobster dinner was an average price but well steamed, not overdone. Beautiful marsh view with shade out of the sun during mid-day. Absolutely adorable trolley car to sit in (small tables). Will be back asap. Loved it. read more

Fisherman's Catch Restaurant - Wells - Fried clams are GREAT - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite stops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point. We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling. I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating. So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip. read more

Not that great anymore. I think they have gotten too big for their breeches, nothing tastes that fresh and or overcooked. And a tiny glass of crap wine. Sayanara! read more

Have not been back in a few years so gave it another try. They do call ahead on line now so that helps with the wait. Place is always busy. Fun atmosphere and live music! Food was good but honestly the prices were WOW! The à la carte fried scallops was $32. Lobster Tacos with fries $38 Diet Coke $4.50 small cup of chowder $9.00. I compare this to my experience the night before at a local steakhouse - delish full meal- filet and scallops. Potato and salad was $32.99 Way better spend of my dollars for sure. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Beautiful setting very close to Wells Harbor. It was casual and nice to sit indoors in the AC after a short wait. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The setup out back for the lobster boil ($75 pp) looked like fun!! Lobster roll was okay. Fried clams were better. If I went back, I'd skip lobster and go with the fried food. read more

First off, the service staff was excellent! Very friendly staff and they were in top of cleaning the place and were all smiles. The problem is the prices. I mean come on, 35.99$ for a lobster roll!!?!? And not only that but it was super small. Literally 3 bites and it was gone and I was still hungry. It didn't even come with fries, just a small bag of chips and a quarter of a pickle. I would understand 25$ because we're eating out but 35.99$ is highway robbery. Thank God I opted for adding bacon to the lobster roll bc it made it seem a tiny bit bigger but for 36$ I expected double the size and a side of fries. I doubt there was a lb of lobster on it and if there was, it was weighed down by the mayo. read more

My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant for many years whenever we visit Maine. This year, however, we were sorely disappointed. We always have our dogs with us and when we arrived at the podium to get a seat outside, we were told that dogs weren't allowed anywhere, even outside, and that we could order takeout and then go sit in an area far from the restaurant in the woods to eat it. This is the opposite of the experience we have had every other time when we sat at the picnic tables outside with our dogs while we ate. The area in the woods was far enough away from the restaurant that the pager to pick up the food didn't even work. It was down a path and so far from the restaurant that you could barely see it. There was no view, and the place was full of insects that harassed us constantly. The food itself was good, but they have put their prices up and the portions have become smaller. We spent almost $100 including tip for a small cup of clam chowder, a fisherman's plate with three pieces of fish, five scallops, and a small portion of fries, some onion rings, and two beers. We had to eat with plastic knives and forks from Styrofoam containers. Simply not good enough for the amount, especially as they also wanted a tip. I felt like because we had dogs, we were treated as second rate citizens. If the restaurant doesn't want to be dog friendly, simply put up a sign saying as much so that dog owners know they are not welcome. Very disappointed with a restaurant we have frequented for years, but will never go back to. read more

Plastic silverware service and the food was dreadfully average. I say have a drink take in the view and skip the rest. We ate, it was good but for the price tag, I for one want more. read more

ridiculous lobster prices for a totally average place, don't buy the hype and fake reviews go elsewhere

This is a nice little casual place. The food is excellent, and the service is great. The only thing that would make it better is a better location, but it's not bad for what it is. read more

Food is authentic Maine! Amazing cold lobster roll, just the right ratio of Lobster Mayonnaise and flavor, served on the correct square bun! The Clam Chowder is most definitely possibly the best ever. The servers are attentive and helpful. The ambiance is beachy crossed with fishing dock, without the fishy smells. read more

Impeccable experience from the moment we walked up to the host stand until we parted with bellies full of the most amazing fried clam strips and blueberry pie. The manager, Michelle, went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The service was excellent and again, the fired seafood cannot be beat. Back in NY now and imagining making the drive back for more. Thank you for making our last night in Maine so special. ~NY Michelle with two Ls read more

Food portions were great! Clams were reasonably priced and were cooked to perfection!

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. read more

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! read more

Excellent clam chowder and clam strips. Our server, Shannon was very helpful and had our good out rapidly.

It is what it is: a funky Seafood joint on the seashore. Way casual with picnic tables indoors and out; plastic utensils and plastic glasses. But, remember, you're going for the food. It's outstanding. Today we had the Calamari. It was fresh, moist, and tender. Served with Marinara, or you can choose tartar sauce. We surprised ourselves with how good the cheeseburger was. Had to try it, as it was National Beef Burger Day. Tasty, properly cooked. Fries excellent. Our server, Olivia, had a bright, cheerful personality. Prices a little high for a beach joint. Still it's a superb example of one. In Wells you gotta try it. read more

I have made reservations here to celebrate my husband's birthday and to invite friends that never been to Maine before it was their first time. Was so excited looking forward to an amazing experience, but it surely was lacking... first I had reservations made. They called me the day before and asked if I could come at a later time and that they would compensate me and buy me a drink. I said no worries no problem. I really thought that was nice . So they changed my time and she even reminded me that we're celebrating my husband's birthday.. which we were so looking forward to... when we got there they didn't even offer me the drink. The service was slow. They need to hire more people for outback my husband asked three times for a water that took forever , but she was nice.. We got blueberry pie at the end, which was delicious, but they never even bothered mentioning or even celebrating my husband's birthday. It was a huge disappointment. Be aware they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill regardless of the service. The ambience was nice and beautiful, but the food was just OK. read more

Always amazing food. Great portion sizes, food comes out quick and tasty. Place fills up quickly and there's limited space to eat. Prices are very good. You will not be disappointed read more

Unfortunately this establishment does not accept criticism from the consumers. Ordered a scallop box and was only given 5 for $45. Not only is not market pricing but it down right highway robbery. I informed them that this was insufficient for the amount charged. They would not refund my money as the scallops were never eaten. Poor customer service and portions are NOT the way to conduct business in such a high demand area. I would NOT recommend this establishment and would recommend NOT taking a second mortgage on your home just to have 5 scallops. read more

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. read more

I have never bothered to write a non-5-star review because I think it's important to support small businesses. The food overall was alright, but it was overpriced. The prices were not listed for any item, which is unusual. Of course, I expect "market price" on some items. We ordered takeout, and the wait was a little over 30 minutes. The lobster roll was around $37, and the portion was not generous. The restaurant is in a beautiful location, and the staff were friendly. However, my family won't be returning. read more
