Coleslaw is my All time favorite. Fried seafood is great too. I get a craving every once in a while!

Usually go with the fish and chips, and the French onion soup is a must. Seated and served quickly, great staff. Leave with your desserts!!! Love that restaurant when in Maine!! read more

This is a restaurant that we have gone to for years. After today, they will not see me again. I stopped to pick up two slices of pie. Count them two slices only, and the charge was Nineteen Dollars and fifty cents. Totally ridiculous. Thank you for reading, but count me out. read more

This beloved South Berwick spot has it all. Homemade pies and cheesecake, burgers, pasta, sandwiches, entree and side salads, soups and chowders, chicken entrees, and seafood. As we waited to pick up an early evening takeout order we watched as the quoted wait for carry out on new orders steadily climbed from 30, then 45, then 60 minutes. Kitchen was slammed, and this place is popular both for to go and sit down customers. I observed that staff were efficient, great communicators, and I very much appreciated that my large order was looked over by the expo staff for accuracy. Standouts were the fried scallops, onion rings, wedge fries, and side salad. These were solid. Misses were the chicken tenders (under seasoned and dry), clam strips (too much breading and under seasoned), broccoli (over cooked). This is a solid neighborhood option that has a menu large enough to appease everyone in your party when you are craving American classics. It's not innovative or modern food - it's a well run neighborhood diner. read more

We dined at Fogarty's with our granddaughters and our daughter in law. Our waitress was absolutely terrific. She took great care of our family. We started out with 2 loaves of their French bread--crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. It arrived warm and the butter melted as soon as it touched the bread--yummy. The grandchildren had pasta:one with butter and the other with tomato sauce. Our daughter in law had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, my husband ordered a chef salad and I ordered a salad with grilled teriyaki chicken and pineapple. All of our meals were delicious. The portions were large and the food was packed with flavor. Our waitress did a great job checking in on us and providing drink refills. I was very happy that we decided to dine at Fogarty's. The restaurant is truly a place for families to dine and it is spotless. If we lived in the area we would dine here frequently. read more

Food was delicious one of my favorite restaurants I go every time I visit So Berwick me chowder is good chicken fingers

The food is very bland and the interior dated. I live in walking distance and will not return.

It's the second time I've been here in 15 years. The last time there was something on my glass, and surprisingly years later I had something on my glass again. I chose not to complain about it. I just wiped it off. It was something solid, not a water stain. It was in my water glass before I poured my water. I was in a large group and they gave us two servers. The servers were fantastic. The food was good. My husband's turkey was good, I tried a bite. It was no salty at all like a lot of restaurant turkey. The stuffing was a little overly salty, though. My fish was cooked perfect, and the mashed potatoes were yum. O would go back- I honestly can't believe I got dirty glasses twice with about 15 years in between, it had to be a strange fluke. But the service and the food will bring me back. Hopefully try 3 will be perfect, and I don't plan to wait another 15 years before I go back. read more

My husband and I have been getting our Saturday night takeout dinner here for about 4 months. Everything is fabulous. Just 1 thing I will say if ordering their lobster roll. I got mine mixed with mayo only, HOWEVER it was way toooo much mayo and sadly I just couldn't eat it. You get 2 options when ordering it online, I'd NOT get mixed with mayo, get it plain and mix it when you're ready to eat. If they say it's already mixed with it, unless you could eat spoonfuls of mayo, I would not get it that way. Otherwise, it had PLENTY of sweet tender lobster claw meat! My favorites is their haddock any way they do it, and their steak sub with all the veggies is best I've had around here. read more

Delicious fried clams!! Coleslaw is the tastiest around and the strawberry rhubarb pie was beyond description!! Don't pass up a trip to Fogarty's !! read more

I hadn't been here in years, a lot of years. It's still the same! Clam chowder was "fantastic". Scallops were plentiful and cooked perfectly. Broccoli overcooked. Chicken florentine special was tasty but served with powdered mashed. Desserts made in house were decadent and huge ( we got them to go). Pepsi products . Our waitress was very nice and wait wasn't too bad. read more

In the area for a visit and stopped for a late lunch. Lobster roll was very good, as was the pie for dessert. I sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Then wandered down the street to try a geocache, unsuccessful there but a good way to walk off some of my meal. read more

Home style cooking with large menu. Service was attentive & prompt despite having a 10 minute wait for a table. All meals were delicious & served warm. The New England clam chowder was flavorful & full of clams. It was a thin soup with a lot of potatoes, clams & other items. It was hearty but not too rich. read more

Went there for lunch with sister. We ordered the chicken strip meal with fries and onion rings, and the steak and cheese with onion rings. Everything was exactly what we ordered. Food came quickly and was delicious. Staff was friendly and efficient. Sat on the patio and enjoyed the last days of summer. Will definitely go back. read more

Delicious lunch. Haddock nuggets with mashed potatoes and coke slaw. Creamy clam Chowder. Large portions. The pot roast was fork tender with mashed potatoes and onion rings. Couldn't eat dessert as we were all full. The waitress couldn't have been nicer. Great family restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Great service! Hands down, the BEST onion rings we've ever eaten. The smokiness of the clam chowder is unique and tasty. The seafood pie is good, but extremely rich. The portion on the seafood platter was very disappointing for the price. I've had way more for way less at other close establishments. read more

Fresh seafood!!!! Haddock newburg and haddock florentine were delicious with nicely seasoned green beans and a baked potato! Generous portions! Non pretentious environment with nice waitresses. Old school vibe which I love. Rhubarb pie and peanut butter pie were enjoyed by my friends. read more

In an effort to try new places during the stay at home order due to COVID-19, we decided to give Fogarty's a try, it's a bit of a drive from our house but it was 100% worth it! We got the chicken tenders, my mom got the scallop/haddock nugget plate with onion rings and all were delicious. They have SO many different potato options as a side, regular fries, hand cut fries, wedges, steak fries, sweet potato fries, you name it they've got it and we tried them all! The only thing I didn't love was the sweet and sour sauce, I didn't hate it, but it was a little too watery for my liking. 5 stars for Fogarty's! We WILL be back once indoor dining resumes!! read more

I decided to write this review as I have been to Fogarty's probably 10 times over the past 30 years or so, and it is consistently great and the prices are fair. The menu offers a wide variety of food and drink, and the bakery is out of this world! The service is excellent, too. We most recently had Torey as our server, who told us she was new, and she rocked it! I think she will do very well there. Lisa has been there for many years and is also a wonderful Server. We will continue enjoying this gem of a restaurant. read more

Just damned good cooking. No molecular gastronomy or stuffy plating here, but solid good food. I could take my auntie to Fogarty's and we would both be comfortable. The menu is large, well priced and not fussy. Our server was attentive, helpful and steered us well when we asked questions about menu items. The bakery items looked so good-I wish I wasn't so stuffed from our meal so that I could have tried the grapenut pudding or cheesecake. Btw-there is a large amount of parking. In Portland, parking at restaurants is tricky, so that was sooo welcome! Looking forward to going back. Tip: Get the onion rings, and whatever you do, try the mozzarella sticks. I am going back and ordering my own plate of those! read more

Every year for the holidays my family gets the Fogartys Variety Cheesecake... and every year we are blown away by how good it tastes. Simply one of the best desserts, especially for gatherings. The cheesecake is so flavorful and it's nice to be able to sample all of the different slices. It's worth every penny! read more

The coconut cream pie! Best pie I ever ate! The atmosphere is perfect for a small group and the food was delicious

Awesome food and service we will definitely be back. Boneless wings are awesome. Good people

The quality of the food here is excellent, my favorite is the fisherman's platter. The service is really good and friendly. The ambiance is quaint read more

Just disappointed, extremely disappointed with a long time family favorite. I'm in high hopes there is someone else working here with more knowledge about running a restaurant than the "manager" working on Saturday February 24th. My fiancé and I had ordered takeout dinner. Haddock Nuggets with fries , Lobster stew and Gorgonzola steak tip salad. Upon opening our dinner when we got home, we first noticed there was 2 small cups , one being the lobster stew and the other , we had no idea. No salad dressing , nor an extra side of dressing (as ordered ) OR a side of tartar sauce for the fried fish , in which we would obviously assume it would come along with. The mystery small cup contained WARM Gorgonzola chunks with dressing and a layer of butter? Or oil ? Layered on top. Terrible , whatever it was , it smelled and tasted awful. The lobster stew was basically lobster chucks/ pieces ( a fair amount ) soaking in that same hot buttery/oil. Our order looked very rushed and for almost $70 for two people , unacceptable. Taken back , as we've both gone to Fogartys for many many years , my fiancé decided to call. The "manager" was put on the phone and was not very apologetic .. A simple "oh I'm sorry , we will send out a gift card ". We ended up throwing everything away. About a week later we received the gift card .... $5.00. Five dollars ? It was honestly an insult. Being in the restaurant industry for over 15 years I'm baffled, I understand the shortage on staff and maybe a busy Saturday night .... but I could never dismiss a loyal customer so easily. read more

I go with my family to it at least twice a year and every time we love it. I definitely recommend Fogarty's.

Generally like the food here, but we just got chicken parm and a spaghetti & sausage dinner to go and they are both inedible. salty sauce, overwhelmed by oregano. Very disappointed. We threw them away. read more

Most of what I got today I have had, and reviewed, before, but I did try the peanut butter pie for the first time. It was delicious.

I thought I had already reviewed this GREAT establishment! Let's start out with dessert because that's the first thing I always order when I go there the strawberry pie is to die for... There's nothing else in the world like the strawberry cream pie and it's only in season. I often try to make it there during their seasonal time just for this pie. I also always get the seafood Alfredo because oh my God it is so so good so creamy and delicious I can't say enough about it!!! We are from upstate New York, and we try to make it out this way at least once a year to come here and to go to the brewery that's down the road love it love it love it wish I lived here read more

Great home cooked meals. Best turkey dinner I've ever had in a restaurant. Incredible lobster stew. Never had a bad meal here. Pro tip: save room for pie. It's the best pie your going to get on the seacoast. read more

Usually all is pretty good there but today I ordered a Tuna Melt and it came with cold tuna n not melted cheese inside. It was more like a cold tuna sandwich on toast. It wasn't a real Tuna Melt at all. This was on Sunday about 1120 on Oct 27th 2024. Excellent waitress we had though. I try not to send things back but I won't order Tuna Melt again....afraid they won't do it up right so that it's tasty like a Tuna Melt should be. My two stars are just for my Tuna Melt. Everyone else's food was fine n the girls singing happy birthday to one of us was appreciated. Our waitress was A+. read more

Local joint, comfort food, all the classics. Great cup of chowder, apps, sandwiches, meals. One of our group recommends for liver and onions, Ruben good but made with slaw vs sauerkraut. Quesadillas app could be a meal, all generous servings...boxes to go, we were too full to try the huge dessert selection...it all looked fabulous!!! Will be back when in the area for sure. read more

Solid American food - it reminds me of some of the better places one could find traveling back in the '80s, before higher end gastronomy became more widespread. The recipes were kinda primitive, but the kitchen did a good job preparing them. Nice staff, attentive and skilled. Comfortable, if ordinary, interior. Big menu. We started with a Caesar salad - slightly wilted Romaine, lots of shredded Parmesan, croutons (rye - with seeds), and a good quality commercial Caesar dressing. My spouse had the daily special wings - "garlic parmesan" - big wings, cooked properly, slathered in what was, for all intents and purposes, the sauce you'd get on Veal Piccata. - fairly strong garlic, lemon, and a bit of cheese. Tasty and uncommon - if beyond messy. The skin was crisp as the wings were delivered, though the sauce did sog much of it out by the end of the meal - par for the course with heavy sauce. I had a burger - gorgonzola and bacon - ordinary, but decent. Cooked medium rare as ordered, patty a bit thin and wide for my taste. Lots of gorgonzola and 2 strips of thick, nicely cooked, bacon. No veggies, nicely done fries (cornstarch coating for a bit of extra crispness). Desserts are made in house - we didn't eat any there but bought some from the bakery: good Indian Pudding with fresh whipped cream (whipped so hard it held up until the next day - but real); a slice of a very good New York style cheesecake; and a nice, if not exceptional, coconut cream pie. It was clear that the kitchen knew what it was doing, and (given inflation, covid etc.) prices were appropriate. read more

Thanks to Yelp we found this gem while passing through Maine. Since we were in lobster country my wife was craving a roll and was very satisfied with her "lazy style" choice. (Made with melted butter instead of mayo). I enjoyed a salad and a really tasty and buttery cup of clam chowder. My soup and salad came with garlic bread that was awesome. Staff was friendly and accommodating and their COVID prevention game was on point. read more

Started with taking us to a dirty table. ginger ale tasted like chemical. husband ordered a turkey club he liked it, i ordered turkey with cranberry. the turkey did not taste fresh, teh cranberry was not fresh cranberry more like canned, the stuffing tasted like old poop. there were flies around us, i would not ever return, tried a slice of the strawberry creak pie. super sweet and cheap tasting. read some positive reviews that is why we went. HARD NO. The food just felt dirty. Guess that why they had flies, waste of money. read more
