    The business on the left is the shack we had our rolls from.
    Yvonne R.

    This was my first lobster roll in Maine and it did not disappoint. We ordered two lobster rolls served warm and fish and chips. The lobster rolls were so overloaded with lobster that you couldn't see the bread underneath. They definitely did not hold back on their generous portion. The warm bread was soft and the roll as a whole had just enough butter. The lobster was not stuffed in the bread so we had to open the bread up and stuff as much lobster in between! After exploring other lobster shacks, the value at this location cannot be beat. The rolls were $30.95 for just a bit over 5 oz. The fish and chips was a HUGE portion of both. It was served very hot and fresh. This is just a small lobster shack so there is not any seating but there were a couple seat benches close by. Service was quick.

    As a native Mainer I am always skeptical of the popular lobster roll spots but decided to finally give footbridge a try while I had an out of stater visiting. The location in Perkins Cove is absolutely stunning, I love watching the boats and walking the shops and then doing the Marginal way walk after. This makes for a perfect summer day. Yes parking is bad! But parking farther away and walking is totally doable and then you really get to see all of this beautiful area. I really expected a long wait at noon an a beautiful sunny Saturday but I was very impressed with how fast it moves. Yes we did still wait but it was not excruciating at all. Once we ordered our food it came out within minutes so I know that the wait is not due to inadequacy but just because there's so many people! Now onto the rolls. These are a fantastic price at $29. The roll is incredibly buttery and toasted. It is loaded with lobster! We did one mayo and one with butter but I think next time I was just go with butter because the mayo didn't add anything for me. The lobster was fresh and cooked perfectly. We went during Maine blueberry weekend and they were including mini blueberry muffins with every lobster roll which was a cute addition! I loved waiting the boats and eating by the water. I would battle parking and wait in lines again for these rolls!

    Yum!! First lobster roll and I loved it. Don't skip the butter and mayo! Line was long but moved fast and meat tasted so fresh and not fishy. The fries were also 10/10! Great experience and would recommend. No free parking but hourly pay parking nearby is really cheap if you can find a spot.

    This was the best lobster roll on our trip so far. Lobster chunks are huge and chewy and delicious. They also had a special with clam chowder which was also good. Food came out quick. Only downside is there's not really any seating around...

    Lobster roll with butter

    Overall a good experience from Footbridge. You can tell it's quite popular because the line is always long. The location is great right in the heart of Perkin's Cove which makes it a picturesque place to stop after walking Marginal Way. We ordered 3 lobster rolls and a shrimp roll. They put all three rolls in the same container which made it a little hard to divide since you each need a tray to catch the spilling lobster. Sadly current market price for lobster makes this roll total $30.95 which is pretty steep. I will say, compared to others I have seen and experienced in the area, it was stuffed with a lot of meat! The pieces ranged from very tender to chewy, which is expected with lobster. I ordered mine warm with butter and honestly I added salt. The extra seasoning greatly improved the flavor experience. I'm assuming the mix of mayo and butter would be the way to go for max flavor. The shrimp roll was good, also with lots of shrimp. There are some seats nearby but the pro move is to take your food to the benches by the parking lot overlooking the water for a top tier experience.

    Our lobster rolls with hot butter was phenomenal. No other words other than go and get some. Well worth the price. We got two rolls and two lemonades. $105. Lots of fresh lobster! Wish we had known parking would be tricky. The pier was crowded so get there early. We grabbed our rolls and had lunch at a nearby park. I'll be dreaming of this roll till we come back to Maine.

    Last couple bites

    You can't believe a breakfast sandwich could be this good. Went early in morning because it gets busy. They put more lobster on it than you expect. Service was quick and fast. You can sit on bench across from the stand and eat.

    Staff was friendly and the portion of lobster in my roll was insane! Amazing little place right in the beautiful cove, loved it

    Really good lobster roll but the price is INSANE. $41 in Aug 2025. Seems like just a few months ago it was $35 so that price increase is crazy but hey... we paid it. We're happy it was a good, overly stuffed roll. Cashier recommended we try the mayo+button combo and that was terrific. Fries were good too! FYI: no seating it's a shack you order at the window but find a bench or spot nearby.

    Pretty decent lobster roll for the price, and while the bun was very good, the lobster itself was quite chewy. Probably hard shell which I don't necessarily mind but it was still chewy... maybe microwaved to reheat?

    Our favorite lobster roll on our entire trip to Maine! We got it twice! Loved the hot and cold together and the sweet potato fries and maple aioli was incredible!!!!! Will definitely come back here again!

    Perfect spot for a tasty lobster 2 for $20 . This is the bomb . Takeout only but plenty of outdoor options for sitting.

    Foot Bridge Lobster delivers lobster rolls that are absolutely on point. Prices are a bit steep--no denying inflation--but the quality makes it worth it. Expect a long line during peak times, but definitely worth the wait.

    Best food in Ogunquit!…read more The haddock sandwich and chowder were fresh, filling, and flavorful. The kids' meal with haddock was also high quality and felt like "real food". Plus, the broccoli it came with was cooked so well that my kids gobbled it up. Service was very helpful, attentive, and friendly. View from the outdoor patio felt like the right space from Main Street without being isolated. Wish I came back!

    Pepper's Seafood has a lot of potential, but our experience was disappointing because of issues…read morethat seemed to stem from management rather than the staff working the floor. We arrived without a reservation and were told there would be about an hour wait. The host came across as a bit snarky, although he did offer us seats at the bar, which we appreciated. After being seated, it took about 30 minutes before anyone took our order, followed by another 40 minutes before our food arrived. The bartenders were working incredibly hard and were clearly doing everything they could to keep up with the rush, so I don't fault them at all. Unfortunately, one of our meals arrived cold and was extremely over-salted. The restaurant refunded that dish without hesitation, which I appreciated, but it shouldn't have left the kitchen that way in the first place. From what we could see, the kitchen was seriously backed up and the overall operation wasn't being managed well. The staff deserved better support because they were hustling nonstop while trying to deal with unhappy customers. I hope management addresses these issues because the employees are putting in the effort. With better kitchen execution and smoother operations, this could be a much better dining experience.

We sat at a table by the window on the first floor. We overheard that there is an upstairs bar, not sure if they also seat folks for dinner there. We were able to place an order right after getting settled. We enjoyed the Sun mocktail, charred beet salad, mac and cheese, fried codd sandwich, steak frites, and corn ravioli (without the pancetta). My spouse is gluten free and I am vegetarian so we are always looking for restaurants that can accommodate both. The charred beet salad was good but I think dressed a bit too heavily. I thought the corn ravioli and sun mocktail were both great. The kids (ages 1.5 and 5) liked the Mac and cheese and fried cod sandwich. They did not have any appropriate booster seats for the 1.5 year old so my spouse held him. My spouse loved the steak frites but I think wished had a few more "frites" given the amount of interest from the younger crowd. Our waiter was wonderful and also brought some orange slices from the bar for the kids. We were very grateful. We decided to go nearby for ice cream after dinner, but I heard there is a dessert menu.

Gosh, you just hope you made a memorable choice for the right reasons. We did - we both felt we not only received value for our dining dollars, we felt cared for by the staff and satiated by the kitchen. People like sitting outside - so the reservations reflected that and we could only be seated inside. Was not a disappointment to be seated inside. I highly recommend this restaurant. I had a steak sandwich and my dining partner had a chicken sandwich. Both were really tasty and well prepared. We only had water to drink and that was not a problem. I feel many times if I don't order an app or a drink a server becomes less friendly. That wasn't our experience here. I don't believe in over rewarding a place - but I feel a 4.5 out of 5 is appropriate. Since I can't give that - I rounded up to 5.

    My wife, children, grandchildren and parents have dined at M.C. Perkins Cove since the days of Mark…read moreand Clark. The food there is excellent. The menu varies by season and always reflects a local Maine touch. The appetizers are exquisite (Shellfish Tower, Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters, Salads and Chowders) and the entrees always tasteful whether its the lobster, salmon, scallops, which are always fresh , or the beef, chicken or duck dishes, all are perfectly cooked as ordered. The wine list is ample and if there is something that you want for a special occasion, you should call in advance and they may be able to order it. No guarantees but they try! And the desserts, well my mouth is watering as I write this. Please bring back the sticky toffee pudding!!! We have always found the wait staff to be professional, patient and polite. Dana and Javier have done a great job juggling the natural challenges in this area. Trainees shadow the pros and they learn how to handle the range of high-low and no maintenance guests. We have seen them all! The ambience is warm and inviting and of course, the many views of the cobalt blue Atlantic and Marginal Way from the roof deck and most tables simply wraps the entire dining experience into a magical evening. If you have never gone, plan your parking because like all great restaurants tucked into small seacoast towns in Maine, its is in short supply, and if you can't find it, there are pay-for parking options within a short 2 minute walk. So, all in all, you must take the time to visit M.C. Perkins Cove Restaurant when you are in Ogunquit.

My martini was perfect, but food left a lot to be desired. I was debating between the mac & cheese (without lobster) and the stuffed leeks. The server convinced me to get the stuffed leeks. When they came out, the leeks themselves/the filling were room temp (like not hot or cold), but the sauce around it was hot, which I thought was odd. It almost seemed like the leeks had been sitting out for a while and then the sauce was poured on at the last second. I didn't want to sound crazy by asking the server if the dish should be warm, so shortly after receiving, I asked to order the kids mac & cheese. It was $16!!! For such a small portion. I didn't even finish 2/3 of the leeks and was kind of hoping to get it taken off our bill since I paid $28 for something I didn't end up eating due to how it was served/worry about food being left out and not properly heated. We had a hard time choosing where to eat because everything around the area had like three stars, but would come highly recommend recommended. This is one I think I would say could be skipped! My friend got the lobster croquettes and said the croquettes were warm and the lobster was cold. Not sure if that was intentional?
